September JD^ 1^64 PISTAKEE HIGHLANDS KAY SIELISCH 497-3414 NOTE MANY CANDIDATES FOR ASSOCIATION POSITIONS AFTER APATHY CANCELS AUGUST MEETING As of Aug. 30 this is how things stood in our community. Due to the utter apathy of the residents the annual election of officers for the Pistakee Highlands community association could not be held Aug. 29 because of the lack of candidate for office. Out of a possible three hundred paid up members, only one person agreed to nan for the executive board. As of Sept. 1, there were only three officers'on the executive board. There will not be a quorum, without a quorurrl these officers cannot transact business. " If this happened the corrv munity center would be completely closed to all groups, water would be disconnected and gas and electricity turned off. There would be no snow plowing which would mean residents might possibly be forced to pick up their mail in Mc- Henry, m addition to plowing their way to main highways in order to get to work. One happy note at this time is the fact that because of more recent developments, the Pistakee Highlands Community association will continue functioning for another year. The center was filled to capacity with members in good standing for the Sept. 2 meeting. The foilowing folks have volunteered to run for the position of trustee: Don Blackburn, Ray Bourbon, Lorraine Erdmann, Jerry Janquart, Wanda Dinsmore, Charles Kocher, Dick Conway, Margaret .Sluga, Jerry Kolb and Ted Frenden. Candidates for positions on the Board of Directors are: Rosann Bright, Bob Lutz, De- Witt Rapp, Jim Bures, Ted Wroblewski, Milt Croasdale, Ed Kolan and Bill Moreth. They all received a well deserved round a applause. The entire community should be grateful to these people who offer to relinquish some of their spare time for our benefit. It's a shame when the situation must get so desperate before residents will attend a meeting. A few questions were asked concerning our proposed road program. President Milt Croasdale stated that the petitions requesting a survey to be taken of Highlands roads will be submitted to the board the second Thursday-irf September. A full scale road program could not possibly be initiated before the early part of 1966, since Sunnyside Estates and Lakeland Park have their requests in ahead of us. It is expected that if and when we adopt this road program, dues will be reduced considerably and possibly a weed cutting program can be introduced in the community. We were all certainly sorry to learn of the unfortunate experience of Association Road Commissioner, Tom Warczak. He was rushed to McHenry hospital, by the Johnsburg Rescue Squad after being stung by several bees. His effects were quite serious and Betty reports that he is under 24 hour surveillance. We are very happy for the opportunity to help Kay out, she has done so many nice things for yours truly, although we wish it were not under such unhappy circumstances for her.

Vandalism Is On The Upgrade In The Highlands Aug. 26 and 27 children broke a window and broke holes in the siding of the back porch of the Clarence Jones home, 5616 N. Meadow Hill Lane, Aug. 27, they returned and broke out all of the siding leaving a huge gaping hole exposing all the thirfg& on the porch which included a washing machine, etc. The home is being rented by the Rods and when they came home, they were shocked. The children doing the damage were recognized and are known. These things are on the rise in the Highlands. The same morning they were busy damaging other township^ Jiiings in people's yards. NOTICE to all residents that leave their cars parked out overnight, keep them locked and the trunks locked. Teenage boys are touring the Highlands at one and two a.m. rifling cars. Three were seen on the East side of the Highlands rifling two cars and the owners' dogs awakened them with their frantic barkings. Once again one of the boys was recognized but once again nothing was done about it. Unless we start calling the police and reporting these things, our homes and cars will be unsafe and it will get worse. The police will be touring the Highlands at night and we can assure the vandals if they are caught they will be arrested and fitting punishment will be dealt out to them. The only way to stop it is to call the police and not let these youngsters go scott free to do more damage and stealing. Birthdays I would like to wish our family doctor a wonderful birthday on his big day Sept., 12, to my beloved mother, Helena Barry, who will be celebrating her birthday Sept. 13, to Georgie Hanisch who will be eight years old, Sept. 17, to Vi Johnson who still looks like a teenager, Sept. 12, to Dickie Morley who will be 11 years old Sept. 13, and to Margie Mc- Inerney who will be 10 years old Sept. 18, and to a real wonderful gal Haze Mbrley's mother, Sylvia Puckey, who will be celebrating Sept.. 12. To each of you may you all be blessed with God's richest blessings, health, happiness and love and many years to come with your loved ones. Brownie News Harriet Wilson will conduct the first Brownie meeting of the season to be held some time in September. The date will be released later, pending outcome of the Sept. 2 Association meeting. All Brownies attending this meeting must be escorted by their mother.
