Thursday, April 19. 1982 THE McHENBY PLAINDEALER Village of Sunnyside Vandal Invades Private Home Eola Deppmeier 885-6310 During the - late evening hours an uninvited visitor ^ made his appearance at tjte dj&rner residence recently. The -Garners, deep in sleep, were "aroused 1 >y a mysterious noise in the allic. At first it wa^ believed that a prowler had jnvaded the home. Upon investigation they learned that, tire 'attic iiad been vandalized, insulation had been torn from the floors and walls, debris jivas scattered about. As the j^morning hours drew near, light seeked out art intruder indeed, a four legged one: It was a •racoon, beautiful in appearftpce?' but dangex-ous when cornered. He scampere'd back into a chimney by which he made his ^ntry and there he stayed. A full day of attempts to lid the coon were futile so . help was summoned and answered by 1hc viHage police ( ^and two neighbors from the Terrace, Bob Froelig and Pat Flood. Bob managed to smoke the chimney forcing the coon to come out for air. Pat, authorized by the police, fired a i shot at the animal as it f reached the. top of the chim- I ney. The aim was on target jf but Ihe timing was a second off and the coon fell through to the bottom of the chimney which was in the basement. The following morning another neighbor, Cass Kasperski, managed to retrapt the carcass through an entrance, labored by Cass, at the chimney bottom. It was later picked-up and taken away by a veterinarian to be examined. (Ed. Note; A flash just passed over -- could've been a SKUNK -- thank goodness we've got our •^neighbors). Girl Scouts Pianne Offling, reporter for the Scouts, tells me that the meeting opened at 3:20 p.m. A very enjoyable play entitled "Little Red Riding Hood" was given and the cast of 'actresses included Bonnie. Diane and Susan Oeffling, Colleen Joyce, ancy .Torsienson and Diane Schlueter. Participation in the game "Musical Spots" proved to be fun and a point of interest. at ihe aneeting.

Hey kids, how about helping this old reporter out with a big problern? Seems that flowel's are disappearing from various yards in the village. It is really a sad case 'cause flowers do a great part in making our commiinity a pretty one. Mother nature, patience and hard earned money make it possible for these flowers io grow. So kids during your day of play, admire these flowers if you like, but do it at a distance and don't take the liberty of picking them.

She also enjoys another role, that of a doting grandmother to her two small granddaughters. The Wilsons have two daughters, Joan and Joyce, who each have a small daughter of their own. These two wee ones, 7 months and 5 months old arc already enjoying the attention being lavished on them by their grandma. Bernice has confided that her favorite hobby has become babysitting and that she truly enjoys it. Bernice and Walter have been married for 30 years and met while both were working in the auditing office of Westem Union in Chicago. Walter is a Pullman conductor and is able to meet: quite a few celebrities travelling back and forth to and from Los Angeles. The Wilsons moved to the Shores in November of 1959 from Chicago. They reside at S02 Broadway. Since becoming a Shores resident, Bernice became an avid gardener like the rest of her neighbors. She also enjoys cooking and baking. A member of the family which could not be left out is their dog. Whiskers. Bernice says he is half cocker and half "unknown" but much loved. We all enjoy having such a friendly family as neighbors.
