1 December 7, 1961 THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER Pag* Tweniy-Flve McCullom Lake LOCAL SAILOR DISS SUDDENLY ON BOABD SHIP Eve Levesque One of the most tragic nev(& Sloiies this reporter has re* tWved is the word that James Vincent Tomasello, soh of Mary Tomasello of Lake Shore Drive in the village, and Louis of Antioch, died suddenly aboard the U.S.S. Kawi&hiwi. The young lad, who would have !>een 21 years old on Dec. 17, was returning from Japan. After his graduation from tacHehry high school, in 1958, hfc worked for one year and tnen enrolled for a short tithe at 'he University of Illinois. He left the university to enlist hi the Navy. His grief-Stricken family is awaiting further word from the ^ government concerning the d£- ' Mails of his cteath, but the young man's body will be brought torthe George Justeh • funeral home. Arrangements flr the burial are pending arrival of the lad. There are no words to cortvey adequate sympathy to his mother and father, sister, Luellen Vickery, of Wonder Lake and his adoring younger brothers, Charles and Timothy. Other bereaved relatives include the Dominic Tomasello family of Fountain Lane, his internal grandparents, Mr. and Iwrs. James Tomasello of Los Angeles, maternal grandmother, Mrs. AmWer of Chicago, and many other relatives in the area. More complete details appear on the front page of the Plaindealer. Another Bereaved Family About 10 a.m. Monday morn- I®*, Mrs. Emily Stevenson of Fountain Lane succumbed ill her home. She was attended by her husband, Siegfried, daughter- in-law, Evelyn Haines, and a local physician who had been summoned when her condition became grave. At the time of death, the family was preparing to remove her to the hospital. She had been in ill health Lv- several months. ^*he Stevensons were looking forward to their fifty-second wedding anniversary on Jan. 8 of 1962, and the lovely woman would have been 81 on Jan. 4 of next year. Details were unavailable on Monday morning but more complete ones can be found elsewhere in the Plaindealer. The body was removed to the George Justen funeral home. Our deepest sympathy to Mr. ISte'vtensftn and to son, George 'Haines, who lives next door to th£ coujple, also ott fountain Lane. Reward for tfiuren olse'n Gies A story in a much happier vein than the preceding ones is tWe hews of our I'eal life heroine, Mi-s. Charles Gies of Cooney Heights, who was awarded a plaque and a pin by her employers, . the Northern Illinois Gas Company at the annual management meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 29. Kaaren, who was a bride of only a few months at the time of McHenry's 125th Centennial festivities, was observing the water show with her husband, Chuck, when she jumped into the Fox River to rescue Douglas Viita. The little lad, only one year old at the time, had been knocked into the river by a rolling tire. No one else had observed his accident. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Urho Viita of Lakeland Pert-k. It \vas for this ihcident that he^ bravery was rewarded. She is the diughter^of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur OlSert of The C o u n t r y c l u b sub d i v i s i o n . Handy gal to have around in an emergency! trustees appointed Jack Schlofner to head the department on a temporary basis at the last meeting held on Monday, Nov 27. He will fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Bill Reid. . . . Ordinance No. 51 dealing with the problem of Dutch Elm disease was passed by a vote of 5-1 and upon completion of i publication will be in force. | Trees found to be diseased | MUST be removed even if they j are privately owned. | Warning to residents from the village board: It is against our local law to build concrete curbs on the easement! Please check with building inspector Ray Aalto before starting any project of this nature. Baxter and Woodman, engineers, will prepare forms in order that the village may apply to the federal government for a loan in connection with a proposed sanitary sewer system. This is only for the preliminary- examination and does not mean that we are in the process of building one! The next meeting will be held • on Monday, Dec. 11, at 8 pan. in the beachhouse. The public is invited. Must be a Record!! We know of no other family in the area that can boast of having FOURTEEN youngsters under one roof except Mr. and Mrs. Emil (Cal) Gibson of Lake Shore Drive. Mother is the former Virginia Taylor who had 10 children when she married Cal who was the father of three. The first child of this union was born Thanksgiving Day (NGv. 23) at McHenry hospital and weighed 8 lbs., 5 ozs. She was given the name of Virginia Maria. Her sisters and brothers are Carolynne, 15; Elmer, 14; Bobby, 13; Jimmy, 11; Calvin, 10; Elizabeth, 10; Thomas, 9; Gregory, 8; Robert, 8; Joseph, 6; DaWene, 4; Theresa, 3; and Steven, 2. . This is qne family that can say "your children and my children iare taking care of OUR child"! One of the dairies should install a milk vending machine in this household! Congratulations to the whole tribe! dtadc Srhhtfaer Varrted Acting Police Chief Acting upon a recommendatibn by police Commissioher Art N'eteort, the president and Kids Causing Mischief Several complaints have been registered with the police department concerning the activities of our children. Most serious charge is the one involving small people carrying knives, b.b. guns, and slingshots within the village limits. All ot these are forbiddeh by ordinance and carry a stiff penalty! This goes back to the parents who MUST be held responsible. Hickory Drive seems to be headquarters for mischief makers in the younger age bracket. Vandalism has also been reported numerous times, in this area. If the parents don't take charge and make their children behave, the police department WILL! And, isn't it a shame the way our village sign at the east entrance has been mutilated by black and red paint? This mischief has bec-n carried on r;gnt through town. No repairs will be made on our-..sign, until there is conclusive evidence Ihat it won't recur. Monday morning, this reporter received still another complaint about the school children waiting for the bus. \ Gate two is an especially bad place with kids running all over the highway, with utter disregard for vehicles. Parentsplease admonish your children to use caution. This is a ver> serious problem and could result in tragedy! Teens Change Club Name The former MCL Teens have changed their name to the Griffins and will so be called in succeeding publicity. The results were announced on their recent "canned goods" project. Good news in this department was received by Michael Reid. Mrs. John Cunningham, and Mr. and Mrs. DeMoss of Morton Grove. They were thrilled with their baskets. Results were determined in the beachhouse last Saturday afternoon. The young people are busy with arrangements for their holiday dance to be held at the American Legion on Friday, Dec. 29. Another Birth Record of Sorts Gladie Schmitt is "crowing" about her sister and family. Mr. and Mrs. James Follis of Elgin, who welcomed their NINTH child on Nov. 29. The little lad- David Gregory-- who weighed 7 lbs., 1 oz. arrived on cousin Cathy Schmitt's tenth birthday. Tony, Gerald, Ann, Sandra, Jeffrey. Daniel, Mark, and Mary Follis have already volunteered for baby-s i 11 i n g chores. Toys 'N* Books One week left to leave "toys for tots" at McDonald's where a receptacle has been placed for your convenience. This project is being carried on by the Marine Corps Reserve association located at Great Lakes. Toys which can be repaired or new ones are needed for youngsters who have no one el>>e to provide for them. Richard Pickett is responsible for this area. Paper back novels and magazines are urgently needed for the disabled veterans. Mrs. Jim Carroll hcjs charge of this endeavor- fffid you may make arrangements for a pickup by calling 385-3615.
