PLAN FOR OPEN HOUSE - Finishing touches are applied to the grass fire truck as Wayne Amore, secretary of McHenry Fire District Company I adds a little polish to the bright red vehicle. POET'S CORNER SOMEONE WHO CARES As I walk down the narrow streets of our little town... greeting an old friend here and there, I suddenly begin to wonder if people really again, start to care. To care about each other... or the boy, who lives next door. Would they give him a helping hand if he would ask them? Yes, I was a boy, not so long ago, growing up here in this town. 1 never wanted my story told... for no listener could be found. ...one day, my father was tired to stay alive... he shot himself, when I was only five... From this day forward... life changed in my family. Friends forgot to stop in or wanted us to see. My mother soon had to go to work in an office, as a typing clerk. I felt suddenly so alone... and after school, I did not go home... I stopped at some stores or just hung around on a busy street, there I met other boys, who lived just like me. •( "MEANWHILE RACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" BRANCH COURT Associate Circuit Judge Conrad Floeter Douglas L.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD We stood at the corner... and later met in the park and planned a small job, which would be done in the dark. At first, I felt guilty, for what I had done... but the bigger the jobs were, the more we all had fun. A few years were passing by and I was still a juvenile... ...but then came Rokko, he was a pro.. he taught us how to break every law and we listened to him... he was our big hero... We broke into stores... robbed what we could find, but I was still the youngest, so I stayed mostly behind. Then one day in early summer the sun was shining warm. We all planned our big adventure and this time we would be armed. But our luck was over now... the police were already there; we all were taken into custody and still, we showed no fear. The trial was soon over, I was placed in a home for juvenile delinquency... there were many other boys, but each one of us felt now alone. I spent my time, which I deserved, and now I am free once again... I can plan for my own future because I am still young and not in chain. The years have marked my life, and I learned what loneliness can be when no one is there, who opens your eyes and teaches you what is right in your life. Just one helping hand or just a good word can mean so much to a young child; but everyone is filled with daily work, that is why a young boy can run so wild... ...and now, again I am walking on this street of my home town... watching young children playing a game I just hope, for every lonely boy here and anywhere... if he needs help, someone will be there who will reach out and care...
