The Growing Progress Plants And People... Sheltered Village residents are taking part in a new program co-sponsored by McHenry County college and the U of I Cooperative Extension Service. Left to right seated, are Sharon Healy, Fred Christensen, Jeanne Smith, Jesse Berline (background) and Nancy Ervert. Standing are Erin Hines off the University of Illinois cooperative Extension Service and John Wittmus, MCC horticulture instructor. • We're all acquainted with people who talk to their plants to help them grow. In Woodstock this fall there is a program where plants are "talking" to people for the very same purpose. The program is a series of sessions for residents of Sheltered Village con­ ducted by McHenry County college and the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service. In the program, 18 residents of the home get qr chance to work with fresh and dried materials in flower arrangements and to learn about how plants are prolongated and nurtured. The program was the idea of Erin Hines of the Extension service, who teaches the sessions along with MCC horticulture instructor, John Wittmus. Funded by the Northern I l l i n o i s S p e c i a l Recreation association, the program so far has i n c l u d e d r e s i d e n t s planting sweet potatoes in water, creating a fall flower arrangement and starting new plants from cuttings. It's the first opportunity for Sheltered Village residents to experience plant therapy, a new field that Wittmus explains is becoming more and more a part of programs for the mentally handicapped. "The plants com­ municate to them. You can see it in their faces when you hand them a b r i g h t l y c o l o r e d chrysanthemum to add to the dried materials t h e y ' v e a r r a n g e d , " Wittmus said "They are so en­ thusiastic about what we're doing," Hines explained, as the group raptly listened to Witt­ mus' explanation of the next step needed in their flower arrangements. The program also gives the residents more of an ongoing experience than other craft experiences, Wittmus notes, as they need to care for the plants and water the flower arrangements to keep them healthy. After one recent session the residents anxiously lined up to water their flower arrangements, then proudly placed them on the tables where they would eat lunch with other S h e l t e r e d V i l l a g e residents. In future sessions the group will work on a r r a n g e m e n t s f o r Christmas and will design corsages to wear to a special party as well as planting seeds. Wittmus and Ms. Hines are both anxious to repeat the program again in the spring and Wittmus said he hopes that some of his MCC students can also be involved in working with the group. )EDUCW10N^i 'fibllegeHon^its McWilliams Pledged To Fraternity The University of Illinois chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity has pledged several students into membership.

Give Thanks For Blessings Even though we should be giving thanks every day for all the special things in our lives, sometimes we take them for granted. Tomorrow is a special day set aside just for giving thanks. In Wonder Lake we have many things to be thankful for: The American Legion, for giving us such beautiful fireworks each Fourth of July and for distributing Christmas food baskets to needy families in Wonder Lake. The Wonder Lake Kiwanis, for donating money for many children's programs, like the Red Cross Swimming lessons every summer that they co- sponsor with the Wonder Lake Woman's club, and also the money they donated to Cub Scout pack 456. The Jaycees and the Business and Professional Woman's club, who both have put forth so much effort to bring about a united community, especially with * their Fourth of July ac­ tivities. The members of the Woman's club of Wonder Lake, who along with the Swim program, also give two scholarships to college bound students each year. Some special people, too, who have given so much to Wonder Lake, such as Irene Cook, who has just retired from many years of service at our post office and to all the mail carriers who are there every day for us. The firemen and the rescue squad members who are ready for us in our times of need. All the churches in our area that help our spiritual needs including our new congregation, the First Baptist church. We can all be proud of our young people, because we certainly have great kids who live in Wonder Lake. Just look at the lists that appear in the newspapers naming honor rolls, band members, sports events-you always see many Wonder Lake names! Of course, we all have our own personal reasons to give thanks, but one of mine is that I live in Wonder Lake. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving! BAKESALE The American Legion auxiliary will be holding a bake sale Saturday, Nov. 28, from 10 a.m. until they run out of goodies.
