An evening get- acquainted reception is being planned for the new families by Evangelism co-chairmen, Ted Anderson and Walter Johnson. The evening reception allows new members to become acquainted with some of those who have been part of the parish membership for sometime.

THE CITY CLERK "Editor: "Why is it that a city government can be allowed to get away with total degradation and embarrassment of an in­ nocent city official'.' Not to mention the amount of emotional strain this has had on herself as well as her entire family? "With all the crooked politics that go on everywhere and are never discovered, why must a person be put through such a horendous ordeal over duties of her office that have been practiced in the same manner for over thirty years which now are questioned as incorrect? "After having attended the City Council meeting Monday, Oct. 18, I believe that the reason the whole matter of Terry Wilde and the duties of the city clerk's office have been so blown out of proportion and made to look like intentional wrongdoing is obvious. There are, it seems, a few people who no longer wanted Mrs. Wilde in the office. Perhaps hoping that by creating a scandal they, or a person they had in mind, could fall right into place after a couple people did some name dropping.' "Now the damage has been done. Mrs. Wilde and her family have all gone through a very traumatic experience, unnecessarily. Due to the emotional state and physical drain this unnecessary scandal has caused she undoubtedly felt she must resign in order to save her health as well as that of her husband, children, parents and other relatives. "Unfortunately I'm sure that's what two or three people wanted. However, that should not stop the city government or the press from issuing a formal apology and explanation that there has been no intentional wrongdoing on the part of Mrs. Wilde, who has been in the city clerk's office in different capacities for over twenty-five years and has done an excellent job both now as clerk and previously as Earl Walsh's deputy clerk Mr Walsh made it very clear in his letter to the Plaindealer that Mrs. Wilde was merely doing the job as it's been done for thirty years. If she is to be criticized, so should all the employees of that office for the past thirty years. "This in no way reflects any bad intentions on the part of the newly appointed clerk. Barb Gilpin. I'm sure she's an honest, decent and capable person. The only sad note is that there was no need what­ soever for Terrv Wilde's name to be so blackened by any persons trying to seek personal gain or gain for their friends. Truly, she should still be in that office with the city officials making whatever changes are necessary to have the office procedures done in a new manner opposed to the present procedure which has been unchanged in over thirty years. "Perhaps, if some of the past city clerk employees whose resignations oddly coincide exactly with the time frame of this scandal, previous em­ ployers, co-workers, neighbors and also past records were looked into as thoroughly as those of Mrs. Wilde, a better understanding could be reached about who was trying to have her removed from office. It is sickening to think a few instigators could cause such a scandal and do such damage to a fine citizen and individual as Terry Wilde Yet they still seek a job in that office in any capacity. «~ "Both the press as well as the city government owe Mrs. Wilde not only an apology but also a sincere thank you in appreciation for all the years she has put into the city clerk's office doing the job as best it could be done and may I say, as well as her predecessor who was. and is thought of as a fine, upstanding, law abiding per­ son "Strange how the possibility of political wrongdoing merits front page headlines and if any apology is offered it more than likely will be a last page five line article. "Valorie Hobson . ~ "4308 Sioux Lane "McHenry" (Editor's note: Since the Plaindealer printed only the facts of the City Council meeting as they happened, and made no editorial comment, there is no statement for which an apology could be made by the newspaper Ms. Hobson's remarks, therefore, must be directed to members of theTity % Cooperate Council).

During the closed portion of the meeting a lengthy discussion took place about the village's road engineering represen­ tation. Board members displayed deep concern over some current problems seemingly related to some roadway engineering. Further investigation of the problems should provide answers for the next monthly meeting. At the open discussion part of the meeting, it was decided that a deadline of May 31, 1977, (weather permitting) was to be given to the people responsible for 'C' Frank Realty sub­ division to complete road work as yet unfinished. If the road work is not done, the village plans to arrange for its com­ pletion. A point was raised about shooting within the village limits. This is strictly against village ordinance. In previous years this ordinance was not always enforced. Now with new residents moving into sub­ divided open areas of the village this can no longer be tolerated. Small children roam these open fields and are in great danger if someone is there shooting. Please and prevent a possible tragedy.
