Stanek For STATE REPRESENTATIVE Republican - 33rd District • SIANEK • Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 20, 1930) Three men were being held in the Arlington Heights jail awaiting an in­ vestigation to determine the details of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway wreck at Arlington Heights, which killed one man and injured about 20 persons. Carl Weber went to Naperville, where he stayed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Koerner. He ac­ companied Mr. Koerner to Chicago, where they played under the direction of Bach- man, director of the million dollar band. He enjoyed the bans and several musical organizations at Naperville of which Mr. Koerner is director and reports that they are making wonderful progress. The busy season for the MAACS is now over and will go down in history as one of the most successful seasons to date that the McHenry Athletic basketball team has ever gone through. Finan­ cially it was a success and winning 20 games out of 28 starts was a moral victory. It is true the boys failed to come through in the Wauconda tournament, losing to Wauconda by one has been mayor of McHenry since 1973 is President of the McHenry County Muncipal League knows the value of local government has worked with knows the need many state agencies for local and state cooperation Vote For JOSEPH Be STANEKaState Representative MARCH 18th > Paid for by committee to elect Joseph B. Stanek, 1316 Midstream Drive, McHenry, Illinois point in the semi-finals, but this may be overlooked in view of the fact that the MAACS are strictly a home team comprised solely of amateurs. FORTY YEARSAGO (Tuntii frCili ilic liica ui March 14, 1940) Annual liquor license fees for taverns outside cor- porated limits in McHenry county were raised from $150 to $250, by the board of supervisors. This will in­ crease the county revenue by some $10,000 per year. Last year liquor licenses brought in some $15,000 in revenue. Approximately 100 licenses were issued. It is genuinely known that the board members have been studying the proposition of purchasing radio equipment for the sheriff's office. McHenry county is the only county in northern Illinois not having some kind of radio equip­ ment to combat crime. Pressed for funds to operate the county machinery the past few years, the board has delayed going into the propostion. However, it appears a careful study is being made by the pur­ chasing committee to finance the purchase of this much needed equipment. Hebron's high school basketball team has had a few days to refelct on win­ ning the Rockford Sectional tournament. Now, they step into the supreme test. They are entered with the sixteen surviving teams in the state that will battle for the state championship at Cham­ paign. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of March 17, 1955) They greased the skid and the floor in the McHenry telephone exchange here. And without interruption of telephone service fifteen switchboards were moved into a new position 8 feet away. The job took gallons of water pump grease plus unlimited elbow grease by twelve telephone men swho supplied the muscle power. The ninth annual Forester state basketball tournament concluded last Sunday, night as a large crowd gathered in the MCHS gym to see the championship games, awards and special prcgps™.. The Johnsfcurg juniors and seniors won division trophies. Pleasing programs under the out­ standing leadership of Fred Meyer prevailed throughout the three Sundays ofv ac­ tivity. Tournament games were handled smoothly under the direction of John "Honky" Miller and Bud Thennes. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 20, 1970) Faculty resignations, retirement and action on teaching contracts provided the subject of major im­ portance at the meeting of the board of High School District 156. With regret members learned of the retirement of Clarence Angelse at the end of the school year. Mr. Angelse has taught in the local school system since the early 'thirties, holding positions of teaching and counseling. Considered one of the most valuable members of the teaching staff, he was named "Teacher of The Year" in McHenry county last year and was considered for state recognition. St. Mary's Forester eighth grade basketball team rolled to the state Forester championship last Sunday in Chicago. In the finals tiiey caught local rival St. John's of Johnsburg pn a cold day to move out to a 21-6 half-time lead and a final score of 53- 29. Illinois had 10,927 election precincts for the primary election, and a total of 5,255,923 registered voters. McHenry county contributed 108 to this total. Mark Twain In Person Richard Henzel as "Mark Twain in Person" opens the special events series at the Woodstock Opera House. Performances will be of­ fered Friday and Saturday, March 21 and 22, at 8:15 p.m., and Sunday, March 23, at 6:15 p.m. The March performances represent Henzel's third appearance at the Wood­ stock Opera House d'jyisj the last two years, and will contain different material from his earlier per­ formances. „ T h e p e r f o r m a n c e , delivered as if Mark Twain were visiting your town on his lecture circuit, covers some of his funniest anec­ dotes including "On smoking," "Was the world made for man?"; and "Shearing in the bathroom" as well as spellbinding word pictures such as "The ice storm." Caroline Harnsberger, a recognized authority on the writing and character of Samuel Clemens, has commented on Henzel's performance that "his p h e n o m e n a l m e m o r y enables him to give his audiences a limitless amount of Twain material, and his characterization makes Twain seem to be standing in one's very presence." "The restored-interior of the 1890 Opera House con-f tributes significantly to the total illusion that Twain is' alive and well and standing before you" adds Douglas Rankin, executive director of the Opera House. An accomplished Chicago actor, Richard Henzel has researched and performed the role for over 10 years, having given more than 500 performances of "Mark*, Twain in Person." I Reserved seating is> available by calling the Woodstock Opera House ticket office. Other special events planned at the Woodstock Opera House include the Hubbard Street Dance company, which critic Ann Barzel of Dance Magazine * called "a hard act to follow" at this summer's Chicago Dance festival. The jazz and tap dance concert occurs Saturday, March 29, at 8:15 p.m. . Noted jazz pianist George Shearing will give two performances Sunday, April 27 at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. PI AINDI Al.l K' Letters to flu* I ditor Public Pulse (Th« NoindMlcr invito, the public to uf »hi» this column at on tiprmion ol •hair viawt on iwbjactt of gonorol inttinl in our community Our only rtqutit it that tho writer, give .ignotur* lull oddrm and phono nymbor Wo oik too that one individual not write on tha taint tubjoct mart than onco each month We re.erve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectionable tette.) CULTURE IN SCHOOL "Editor: "The poet, Goethe, said, 'A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that2orldly cares may not obliterate tlfe sense of the beautiful which God im­ planted in the human soul'. "Hopefully, District 15's school board realizes that no one's education is complete without exposure to music and art. Music and art are not "fancy frills', they are fundamentals. "Let's face it. McHenry lacks cultural facilities. To take the music and art programs out of the schools would be a crime. Classroom teachers, for the most part, aren't trained enough to teach these subjects. Many would not even try to do so b e c a u s e t h e y f e e l u n ­ comfortable about their inadequacies. "Surely, there must be some solutions to the problem. It certainly is worth any and all efforts to find a way to keep the programs and the fine staff in operation. "Jim Cantrell "McHenry" Anxious to make the right arrangements for your wedding?
