Kick Off Wildlife Series PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 13.1M0 Sunnyside Area Bet ty Messer 344-2494 Campsite breakfast wouldn't be the same without the Gray Jay helping itself to the morning toast. This "early bird" was Just one of the fringe benefits for Tom Diez. wildlife cinematographer and naturalist, as he was filming in the woods of Pennsylvania. Diez is presently touring for the Audubon Wildlife Film series, showing his wilderness adventures on film to audiences around the country. His two programs, covering vastly different areas of North America, are Northwest Adventures and Adventures in Penn's Woods. At 2 p.m. Sunday af­ ternoon, Feb. 24, at the Woodstock Opera house, Tom Diez will present a two- part program to "kick off" the Audubon Wildlife Film series of 1980. Part One, in a film to pack a backpack by, Tom Diez's personally-narrated "North­ west Adventures" is a 40- minute capsule of wildlife, wilderness, camping, fishing, and exploring in the wilds of the great Northwest. The tour will take the, audience first through the bush country of British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon, then due north to the wild islands of the Bering Sea by way of Alaska's mountains, tundras, glaciers, and streams with all their various wildlife. Dall sheep, caribou, grizzly bear, and the delightful sea otter are some of the species featured. In the north Pacific, it's a final hop by boat to one of the islands of the Aleutian chain where the cliffs are a shimmering mass of seabirds. Part Two is titled "Ad­ ventures in Penn's Woods", set in the state of Penn­ sylvania. Areas visited will include Pymatuning Lake and Swamp, Hawk Mountain sanctuary, and Penn­ sylvania's Grand canyon. Featured are stories on live- trapping beaver in the swamps, ravens which nest on the rugged cliffs of fulton county, trout fishing, and a remarkable story about a man and a herd of deer in the mountains of Potter county. This is a film which, Diez claims, proves that Penn­ sylvania is "one of the best" as its mountains, forests, marshes and streams are explored. Tom Diez has lived all his life in the hill country of western Pennsylvania. He majored in zoology at Franklin & Marshall college and took advanced courses at the University of Pitt­ sburgh. In choosing his profession, he combined his love of wildlife and photography into a career which has made him a r e n o w n e d w i l d l i f e photographer who has filmed footage for several television programs in­ cluding the National Wildlife federation and the National Geographic programs. Free refreshments will be served in the Community room of the Opera House immediately following the program. For more information, phone Mrs. Bert H (Lela) Boerner, 724 Roosevelt, Woodstock, or the Wood­ stock Opera House ticket office. The McHenry County Audubon, the McHenry County Defenders, and the Citizen's Advisory Com­ mittee on Environmental Education are sponsors of these excellent films. They were also sponsors of the Audubon Wildlife film series of a year ago. Call Weather A new service to the community is being provided by a realtor in our area. It is "Weather by Phone'. In the event of a snowstorm or any form of bad weather you can call 3ft4- 3100 for up-to-the-minute school closings for our area. " Marty radio stations and TV channel 9 WGN provide school closing information, but that entails listening to a long list to hear if your school is mentioned. Now the information will be available by just calling Weather by Phone. VILLAGE MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the village was held Tuesday Feb. 5, at the Johnsburg Junior high, but the weather kept most residents indoors. Com­ mittee reports were made and open discussion from the floor was conducted. New signs have arrived and will probably be in­ stalled on village streets before this paper comes out. They say "No parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m." The ordinance for no parking was passed by the village in Nov. of 1979 and will be strictly enforced. VEHICLE TAGS The February 15 deadline for obtaining village vehicle tags is fast approaching. A good^ number of. residents still haVe npt purchased the .current 1980 tag. After midnight of the fifteenth, the police will be issuing tickets to those who dq not have one. Motorcycles are also required to have stickers. If you cannot display it on the cycle you are required to have the tag with you in the event you are stopped by the police. Vehicle stickers are available from Village Clerk, Betty Messer, 385- 6023. V AROUND THE WORLD The Johnsburg PTO is sponsoring an international event with happenings for everyone's entertainment and enjoyment. "Small Change" is a film to be shown Sunday, Feb. 24 at the Johnsburg high school auditorium. There will be a nominal admission fee.

For more information call 385- 3731. Illinois PTA To Give Scholarship The Illinois PTA once again offers a scholarship in each of its 25 districts. This scholarship is a one-year, non-renewable award made available to graduating public high school seniors in the upper 20 percent of the class, who are enrolling in a university, college, or ac­ credited school, in a program that will prepare them to be responsible citizens by encouraging them to pursue a career of their choice at which they can succeed. Applications with full instructions are available from high school counselors. Completed 'applications must be received by the district director, Meryl Perlstrom, by March 15. The Illinois PTA Scholarship program is supported entirely by donations from PTA units, councils, and individuals who are interested in en­ couraging higher education for our youth. Although the program has been in operation since the 1930s, it did not gain its current momentum until the golden J u b i l e e S c h o l a r s h i p program began in 1950. Since that time a grand total of $1,351,971 has been donated to the Scholarship program through contributions, life m e m b e r s h i p s , i n memoriam, distinguished service scrolls, gift cards, award cards, and the sale of scholarship corsages at each convention Besides the district scholarship award, the Illinois PTA also provides grants and scholarship money to the several state universities and supports revolving loan funds as well, administered by the universities. * * • * It's smart to listen to most advice and equally smart not to follow it.

Aluminum Recycling The Johnsburg En­ vironmental Education Program (J.E.E.P.) is having an aluminum recycling program. This program will not only be a money making project, but it will also be beneficial to the community. There is a storage bin located at the west side of the Johnsburg Junior high parking lot which will be open continuously. They will take any kind of aluminum, but ask for aluminum only. The proceeds from this program will go to the club for equipment and en­ vironmental projects. Financial Planning Seminar For Farmers McHenry County college is offering a seminar designed especially for farmers Thursday, Feb. 14, at the Woodstock Opera House. The seminar, "Assessing Present Finances and Planning for the Future", will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. and will deal with the specific problems with estate planning for those who own farms or ranches. No two people will have the same objectives with regard to the financial planning of their estates. Therefore, the speakers in this seminar will present options to participants so they can determine the objectives that best fit their plans. To register, please call McHenry County college.
