LIBRARY BOARD MEETING Diane Fuhler's resignation as trustee of the McHenry Nunda Library District was regretfully accepted at the monthly board meeting on Jan. 27. Diane has been on the board for about three years. Five trustees will be voted for in the coming April election. Incumbents Frank Colomer, Rose Smith, James Adams and Karen Colomer have filed their petitions. Otto Hertel will also be on the ballot. Building of the new library will have begun before the election, but many other decisions need to be made which will need sound leadership. Interested in the formation of "Friends of the Library" are Victoria Delp, Virginia Stasiak, Marian Johnson and Rita Gelow. "Friends" can be a very worthwhile project, and Hear but do not understand?

Oliver Wendel Holmes those involved determine their own programs and format. Interested? Call the library at 385-6303 or contact any board member. FLORIDA WAS NOT SO HOT Terry Bird of Lily Lake Park, was in Florida from Jan. 14 to the 24th, and discovered that Florida's rainy season has been changed to January! Terry visited with his parents and sister in Fort Lauderdale. Wife Judy, left here to tend to the home fires and see that daughter Wendy got to school, was not too sympathetic on hearing about the terrible weather in Florida, especially the 12 inches of rain that fell in three days. Now Terry is back to work about seven days a week at his new place of business in Fox Lake. We are still curious as to where the Irish name comes from. Or is that a lot of blar­ ney, Terry? Welcome home, and enjoy our pleasant January weather. FLOOD INSURANCE The Village of Lakemoor converted to the regular phase of the National Flood Insurance program on Jan. 19. Persons interested in obtaining flood insurance should contact their own insurance agents. EARLY GRADUATE Jill Spears completed her high school years officially in January with high honors, but will still take part in the regular graduation services of East campus in May. Jill had been the news editor of "east Side Story", the East campus newspaper. She was also layout editor of the year book. Maria Nejedly, also of Lakemoor, is following in Jill's footsteps, and is working with the current year book. Jill is in the job market now, but future plans are to continue in the journalism field as a student at Northern Illinois university. No one knows where this will lead, but local papers need talent, too. SPECIAL DAYS Belated happy birthday wishes go to Florence Koch of Lakemoor who celebrated Jan. 25. Andrew James Lazar, better known as "A.J.", had a birthday cake with two sparklers at a party on Jan. 29, attended by loving relatives. A.J.'s birthday is* the last day of January, but the family gathered the preceding Saturday. Timmy Barker of Lilymoor will have eight candles on his birthday cake Feb. 2. E. Robert Betancourt celebrates his day on the 4th. Lesa Horton will be starting her last pre- teen year on the 5th, which is also Ken Pahlke's birthday. Pretty teen Becky Mieszala, daughter of Barb and Phil, joins the birthday celebrants on Feb. 8. Two couples will be celebrating their anniversaries Feb. 8; Mr. and Mrs. Kraczyk, and the seventeenth for Jerry and Sherrill Weber of Lilymoor. SCHOLASTIC HONORS Ange la Be tancour t -Col l ins , daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Elias Betancourt of Lakemoor, a student at North Central college, is listed in the "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges", 1983 edition. Andre Yerkes, son of Toni and Joe of Lily Lake Park, attending McHenry County college as a full tim* student, was listed on the Honor Roll for the fall 1982 session. TWO PICTURES IN SAME NEWSPAPER Suzy (not known as Susie) Wipper is a talented young person, living in Fritzsche Estates, as proved by being in two photos in the January 26 issue of the Plaindealer. Suzy, who will be seen in a one-act play presented at East campus high school on Feb. 4, 5, and 6, has been working on a southern drawl. For her exciting weekly competition with the McHenry High Schools' Debate team, the drawl becomes clearly enunciated and well SDoken in debate format. This is Suzy's first year in debate, and she and fellow novice Elaine Robbins are doing well. The McHenry Debate team has been bringing back many trophies in weekly tournament competition. Suzy's speaking ability may one day see her in an important government position, which she will achieve by developing her gifts through concentrated effort. GAS SIPHONING HINT A caller gave a solution to the problem of gas siphoning plaguing car owners in Lilymoor. He suggested installing a locking gas cap, which would preent anyone from removing gas, and also having unwanted materials, such as dirt and water, being poured into the tank. The device costs only as much as a few gallons of gas, so might prove worthwhile. In response to this solution, another man said that after installing the lock, his gas tank was punctured by the robbers, which ultimately cost the owner more than replacing the stolen gas. So take your-choice. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Feb. 3 - Free blood pressure screening, Moose Lodge, Route 120,11 a.m. Feb. 4, 5, 6 - One-act plays at McHenry High School East campus.

The meeting will begin with a presentation of new by­ laws which will be followed by a wine and cheese tasting party. The Poor Man's Gourmet is a group of Wonder Lake couples who meet in each other's homes to enjoy dinner together. The hostess chooses the main course and stays within a $20 allowance for food and beverages. Three couples are in the group, so, in addition to the main course, the other two couples bring a dish to pass that will correspond with what the hostess has planned. Approximately 25 couples are already enjoying making new friends while indulging in some good eating pleasure. Kathy Spanbauer, chair­ man of the group, says that no one should be frightened off by the gourmet part of their name. This just means good food which may include hamburgers, spaghetti, chili, or whatever the hostess chooses. For any further information, you may call Kathy at 728-0937, or Bob Peklo at 653-5976. If the group sounds like it is for you, stop by for the meeting Feb. 6. MOVED TO ROCKFORD George Gutzman, who recently suffered a stroke, has been tran­ sferred from Memorial Hospital for McHenry County in Woodstock to a Rehabilitation Center in Rockford. He is making progress and should be home in four or five weeks. SPECIAL DAYS Two Wonder Lake couples will be sharing the same day to celebrate their wedding anniversaries. "Happy Anniversary" to Jim and Sara Hearity of Wonder Center and Bob and Martha Beaman of Hickory Falls, on Feb. 7. "Happy Birthday" to Michael Gunty, who will be blowing out 11 candles on his birthday cake, Feb. 7. NEAR DISASTER Everyone who has paid any at­ tention at all to the lake this winter knows that the ice has been very unpredictable. It just reaches a safe stage and then we have warmer temperatures and a misty rain and it is no longer safe again. What could have been a disaster turned out to be just a very bad ex­ perience for Bren Paulsen. He was skating with some friends on the northwest side of the lake, when the lake opened and he went completely under. It was difficult for him to pull himself out because when he tried to climb onto the ice it just kept breaking away. The happy part o* all this is that he did finally manage to get himself out and back home again. The sad and disturbing part is that no one helped him. There were adult fishermen who were made known of the situation by the other children and they just continued to fish. This is totally baffling to me - watching a soaking wet child struggle out of the water and then walk home in the cold. Bren had to be hospitalized for four days with a concussion and frost bite and then home from school to rest for a week. Luckily this situation turned out happy with a child's life saved, but please inform your children to be careful. SOMEONE NICE TO KNOW While visiting in the hospital this past week, I ran into Bill Lamont and his wife in the hall. Bill is a retired gentleman who has given much to our community. He was one of the organizers of the Wonder Lake Senior Citizen group having served as its first president. He takes it upon himself to bring a cheery hello to any of the senior citizens from Wonder Lake who might be hospitalized or in nursing homes in the area. He spends a lot of time with his visiting, but it is always ap­ preciated. He is also interested in the young of the community and he has been seen often at functions in the schools. Bill Lamont is definitely someone nice to know. COMMUNITY EVENTS Feb. 6 - District 200 Band concert for fifth, junior high, high school bands; 2 p.m. Woodstock'high school.
