DECEMBER !, 1972 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen & Marge Connell 385-6344 Plan Association Christmas Dance For December 9 With Thanksgiving past, it's time to get the holiday season started. The Holiday Hills Property Owners Association will be sponsoring a Christmas dance on Dec. 9, at the Yacht Club Room in the Crystal Bowl; The dance will get under way at 9 p.m. ~ So start planning for the first big party of the season, get out your holiday finery, and invite your friends from near and far to join you in a fun evening of dancing and entertainment. Tickets may be purchased at the door, or from any association officer or your unit director. John Kessler is chairman of this event, and he also plans to do a bit of en­ tertaining at the dance himself. So come join in the fun! ASSOCIATION NEWS The last Holiday Hills Property Owners Association meeting was held the evening of Nov. 14, at the home of Bill Campbell. Several items of importance were under discussion. Word has been received that a • certain party is con­ templating putting in a marina, etc., in the overflow from the Fox River just before Snug Harbor restaurant. If this is done, it would necessitate rerouting River Road from a point south of this area, and then running northeast through what is now vacant land, en­ tering on Highway 120 near Johnsburg Road. The association wants to be on record as opposing this change in River Road. And if the proposed change in River Road is made, the association wants to make sure that it is the developers who pay for the rerouting of the road, and not us as taxpayers. Now that our road grader is fixed, it is hoped that soon our subdivision roads will be dry enough to grade them, and get them in shape for the winter. The association has also pur­ chased another truck for use in the subdivision. It was most important that this purchase be made before we are hit with a lot of snow, so that we have a truck running fcgr snowplowing our roads. And speaking of snowplowing the roads - only those people who have paid their yearly membership dues will receive the benefits of the snowplowing. Residents who have not paid their dues will not have the road in front of their house plowed out. With many weathermen predicting a winter with a lot of snow, if you haven't already paid your dues, it would be a wise move to do so now. You can pay your unit director, or give your dues directly to Vi Abbink, the treasurer of the association. STATE SCHOLAR No two parents could be happier than Marge and John Connell of Oak Lane when this past week they were notified that their son, Gary, who is a senior at McHenry high school was named a state scholar. Hish school academic record and examination scores were used in the selection of 15,200 state-wide. The state scholars represent nearly every high school in Illinois and were chosen from 51,000 students competing in an examination given by the American College testing program. Gary received a certificate of merit from the Illinois State Scholarship Commission for his high academic achievement in high school and we can all be very proud of this fine young 'teen and the record he has established for himself. Congratulations, Gary, keep up the outstanding work and you will have no problems when you enter college next fall to further your education. SILVER WEDDING Twenty-five years seems like a long time, but time passes very swiftly and on this past Monday, Nov. 27, Ann and Bill Salter of Sunset Drive celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. On Saturday night, Nov. 25, the entire Salter family, Ann, Bill and their three children, Steve, Patricia and Helen, marked this won­ derful occasion with a delightful dinner at a local restaurant. Congratulations to the Salters as they pass this milestone in their lives and may they spend many more years of happily wedded bliss together.

SAVED A DOG'S LIFE Take two little boys, some Scout first aid, a deep love for animals...put it all together and a little dog's life was saved. The boys, Timmy Cornwell and Kenny ftallberg, were patiently waiting for their school bus last week at the corner of Holiday Drive and Sunset when out of the woods came a small brown dog bleeding profusely from either a barbed wire cut or perhaps a fight with a raccoon. He could not have lived much longer due to the enormous amount of blood lost and was very weak but thanks to these two youngsters and with the help of Pam Bellon who turned her garage into a "dog hospital room", the boys cleaned the wounds, tied a tourniquet on the dog, stopped the bleeding and gave the poor little pup a second chance at life. Although Timmy and Kenny missed their school bus and had to return home to get fresh clothes as they themselves were covered with blood from head to toe, their parents were very proud of their son's fine job in administering first aid and that they were able to save a little dog's life. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Joe and Connie Catanzaro of Hyde Park are very proud of one of their daughters and they have every right to be as last week the names were released from Marian Central high school announcing the new members of the National Honor Society and high on the list was their daughter Mary Kay's name. Mary Kay is a Junior this year and to be a member of the National Honor society is really quite an ac­ complishment. Many requirements are necessary to get into this select group including maintaining a high scholastic average, character, leadership and attitude. The students are recommended by their teachers and are carefully screened before being selected. Congratulations are sent to Mary Kay for the vfine reputation she has made for herself in a few short years at Marian Central and to her whole family on achieving this high honor. WELCOME HOME COLLEGESTUDENTS , With the Thanksgiving holidays now over and life once again getting back to normal, many smiling college student faces were seen around the subdivision last week, home to share that \ delicious turkey dinner with their families. The few that we saw were Rita Ann Mettelka from Southern Illinois university down in Carbondale; Ray Mettelka from Wisconsin State in Stevens Point, Wis.; Jeff Kasprzyk from Whitewater State College in Whitewater, '.Wis.vi Tom and Mike Janik from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston; Guy Karafa from Michigan Technological University- at Houghton, Mich., and Patricia and Helen Salter home from Augustana College in Rock Island, 111. No doubt there are others that we did not see, but we know they all had a wonderful Thanksgiving home with their loved ones and are anxiously looking forward to their return in a few weeks for the Christ­ mas vacation. SNOW BALLS Although we have not had too much snow yet, what little we have had has brought com­ plaints from several residents as some of our youngsters find great pleasure in throwing snowballs at moving cars and school busses. While it may seem like in­ nocent fun to the offenders, little do they realize that an unexpecting driver being hit with a snowball on the wind­ shield of his car could lose control of the car or bus, and possibly injure a child stan­ ding by the road or do extensive property damage. So please parents, caution your children against this dangerous practice so that there will be no future com­ plaints or accidents. FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY Little Raime Lee Tackitt, son of Lorna and Jim Tackitt of Poplar Street, celebrated his first birthday party on Sunday, Nov. 26, and really had a wonderful day.

The Law Serves You Environment Being Polluted? Citizen May Bring Complaint Under the Illinois En­ vironmental Protection act, an individual can be his own pollution watchdog and bring complaints if he feels his en­ vironment is endangered contrary to law, according to the Illinois State Bar association. The individual who is aware of deterioration or damage to his environment due to pollution doesn't have to wait for someone else to act, but may bring a complaint before any one of a number of government agencies, the ISBA said. Or, an individual or group may hire an attorney to take the case directly to the ap­ propriate court. The Environment Protection act sets up an Environmental Protection agency and com­ plaints may be directed to the agency. It is required by law to evaluate the complaint, in­ stigate any investigation that may be warranted and prosecute the offender for any violation or otherwise cause corrective action to be taken. The act also creates a Pollution Control board which serves as a pollution court. The law provides that "any person" or his or her attorney may bring a case before the board. A copy of the complaint must be served on the alleged polluter. Unless, after hearing the evidence, the board finds the complaint duplicates a prior complaint or action, or is "frivolous,* it will issue a formal finding against the offender, detailing the anti­ pollution regulations which have been violated and en­ joining the offender against further pollution. The offender also may be fined. T h e E n v i r o n m e n t a l Protection act prohibits any air, water, land or noise pollution as defined in the law. Also, as a protection against atomic radiation, the law requires that no nuclear steam- electric generating plant or nuclear fuel reprocessing plant may be constructed in the state or its operations expanded without a permit from the Pollution Control board. The board must conduct a public hearing to determine the en­ vironmental effects of the construction or expansion of such operation. Complaints of pollution also may be directed to the Attorney General or to the State's At-r tomey since they are chargedi with enforcing the en-? vironmental protection laws. J As an aid to his complaint, thej ISBA said, an individual may^ also ask a local board of healthj or other local agency to in-; vestigate and corroborate the: circumstances. As an example,! it said, a board of health would be interested in any pollution' which endangers the health of the community, such as the open dumping of garbage, contamination of rivers and streams, or open burning of refuse. On the subject of noise pollution, the law says "no person shall emit beyond the boundaries of his property any noise that unreasonably in­ terferes with the enjoyment of life." Urge Support Of Goodwill In December Visit The residents of this area are reminded to join Goodwill Industries program of restoring people when the truck makes a visit in the Highland Shores, Wonder Lake, area Friday, Dec. 8, according to Mrs. Nick (Agnes) Adams and Mrs. Kathryn Jasper, local representatives. For pickup service or in­ formation about Goodwill, call Mrs. Adams or Mrs. Jasper "Many people picture Goodwill Industries as an agency restoring clothing and housewares to new usefulness, but actually it is primarily concerned with restoring people." Mrs. Adams reported Rehabilitation of disabled people is the only reason Goodwill asks for donations of repairable discards. By repairing and selling donated merchandise the agency is able to create jobs that give hun­ dreds of handicapped a new lease on life," Mrs. Jasper continued. The first recorded use of gas in warfare was during the siege of Pataea, Greece, when the Spartans used it against the Athenians. It is thought the gas was produced by burning wood, sulphur and pitch to create choking, poisonous fumes. BOLD, NEW RACE DESIGN!
