PAGE 4 -PLAINDEALER- FRIDAY. JANUARY 28.1983 EARL WALSH So I Hear The big night arrived in all its glory. 'Twas the annual baseball shindig at Johnsburg. & Our sports editor, Mike, and ace sports reporter, Dick Rabbitt, were busy taking notes so I won't give you a play by play report in this corner. Lloyd Freund, who is no stranger to the "mike", opened the program, then turned it over to the ever-present Vince Lloyd, a man of a few thousand well-chosen words. Vince has been around. The top entertainer among the speakers was Dutch Rennert, National League umpire. He is full of humorous stories about his ex­ periences in the game. Jerry Wakitsch, program chair­ man, was one busy fellow. I don't think he had time to eat. Marie Oeffling and her precision trained crew, set forth their usual tasty and plentiful meal. Seemed to me it was one of the best ever. Having enjoyed friendly hospitality in Johnsburg on many occasions since before many of the present crop were born, I look forward to such special events. So-- see the sports section for details. There may be some duplication. I don't want to triplicate 'em. Have had a couple of calls for in­ formation on the next McHenry Day in Florida. Pauline Pries sent a letter before the first of the year. I included the whole letter in one column. The column copy has been tossed out. But- - Marie will check the microfilm and get the information for me. Watch for it next week. I have a couple of calls to make just as soon as Marie's search is finished. Visited the McHenry County Court House this week and met one of our native sons, Glenn Peterson, the man in charge of building permits and inspections. Found out he knows other things besides brick and lumber. Very helpfully, Glenn advised me that cardinals feed at 5 o'clock in the morning. Further that I will have to roll out of bed early if I want to see those feathered friends. Uh-Huh! On the subject of police officers, troopers or what have you, I forgot to mention an officer on duty last Sunday near the McCullom Lake Beach House during the fishing derby. He was courteous and helpful. Joseph Doherty (Interior Decorator) decorated a window in Bolger's Drug Store with old time items that must have been carried over since the early days when Nick Petesch was the pharmacist and owner of the same store. Must take another look at the window in Huppy and Leo's store. They seemed to be on the way to showing some antique items. Wonder if I am getting forgetful? Mentioning Arnold Rauen, I forgot to say his travels will bring him back home for St. Patrick's Day. Speaking of that great saint (Patrick not Arnold) brings to mind that the last time i inquired for Lucille Geraty (The Queen herself), she was in St. Louis. It won't be Meet Me in St. Louis on the 17th of March. Meet me in McHenry. Sign Language Interpreted Mass The next sign language interpreted Mass will be offered Sunday, Jan. 30, at 11:15 a.m. at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic church, 1023 McHenry avenue, Crystal Lake. - The priest for the service will be Fr.

This will be the last interpreted Mass until May or June of this year, when an announcement will be made. Church Seminar Continues Jan. 30 . « Faith Prebyterian church, 2107 W. Lincoln road, announces the con­ tinuation of a six-week seminar on "Death and Dying", Sunday, Jan. 30, at 9:30 a.m. The guest speaker will be Dr. James Mowery.

Anyone interested is encouraged to attend. For further information call 385 5388 TIPS ON TRIPS To save energy and dollars, plan your trips. Car pooling alone can cut down by two-thirds the gasoline used to go to work if you share rides( with two others. You may wish to rotate the use of cars. Go shopping with a neigh­ bor when possible. Combine short trips into one outing whenever possible Use public transportation when available. Rediscover hiking and bicycling. A Look At Wildlife The jack rabbit is known for its conspicuous ears, and for its speed. Bounding off across the plains, it can get up to 30 or 35 miles an hour, in leaps of up to 18 feet. When pursued, the jack rabbit will leap higher on every fourth or fifth leap to check on the progress of the pursuer. Many interesting animals are featured in Albert Wool's Audubon Wildlife film, "Roaming California's Coast Range." In "Roaming California's Coast Range", cinematographer and naturalist A1 Wool treats his audience to some unusual sights and out­ standing wildlife photography. They will visit and witness the amazing frenzy of activity at a "sapsucker bar," where many insects, hum­ mingbirds, warblers, and butterflies drink the sweet- willow sap found in the holes drilled by the red-breasted sapsucker. Other highlights include footage of the golden eagle, great blue heron, California quail, and long- tailed weasel. This is the first of this year's Audubon Wildlife film series to be presented at the Woodstock Opera House Jan. 30 at 2 p.m. The other films will be "Wild and Wonderful Alaska" Feb. 20, and "American Heartland - The Great River Story" March 20. The sponsors of these series are the McHenry County Defenders, the McHenry County Conservation district's Environmental Education committee, and the McHenry County Audubon society, which has been offering these films for the past four years. The California Coast Range lies between the rugged Pacific coast and the higher Sierra Nevada. The stefep terrain characteristic of the region has elevations of from 500 to 2,500 feet. Springs, a few small streams, and stock ponds, along with seasonal winter rains, provide needed water for the variety of plants and animals inhabiting the area. The importance of these sources of water to wildlife - from insects to large animals - is portrayed vividly in this exciting film by A1 Wool. Wool grew up on his father's mountain ranch in California's Coast Range. His interest in wildlife began at an early age When he made pets of frogs and salamanders. At the age of 10, he discovered and climbed to his first eagle's nest. He has served as president of the Santa Clara Valley Audubon society, and has had articles published in natural history magazines, and is an authority on California wildlife. It is advisable to purchase season tickets to the series, since last year a number of people had to be turned away. If unable to attend a specific film, tickets can be sold or given to friends. They are available now by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Woodstock Opera House Ticket Office, 121 Van Buren, Woodstock, 111, 60098, or by coming to the Opera House in person. Prices are the same as last year. For more information, call the Woodstock Opera House ticket office at (815 ) 338-5300.

The program will be held at the Algonquin Public library at 115 Eastgate drive.

GREEN STREET McHENRY, ILL By Appointment Only ^ J 815-3440290 t tapes on "Overall Planning for Historic House Restoration" and "Reading a Building". Immediately following, a question and answer session will be conducted by John Zabor, an architect from the Rich­ mond area, who serves on the Historical society's Historic Sites committee. An increase in the number of ap­ plications to the society for the plaquing of 100-year-old sites and structures in McHenry county prompted this program, which the society hopes might provide some help to the increasing number of homeowners interested in restoration. What should be stressed is that mistakes made in the attempt to save historic homes and older buildings may be avoided through research, patience, and careful planning. Plenty of parking and seating are available at the library. For ad­ ditional information, contact the society at 815-923^2267.
