McCulloi Lake News EVE LEVESQUE 385-4141 LDCAL MAN PLAYS HERO'S ROLE IN FRIDAY'S STORM Dennis Straumann might possibly have been responsible for saving the lives of two ^rften and his own, and was instrumental in rescuing a mother and five children from their demolished home last Friday night. Denny was driving his semitruck and trailer on Route 22, approaching Lake Zurich between 5 and 5:10 p.m., Friday. He was coming to the rise of a hill when he spotted tar paper flying through the air, and oftiinous clouds. He said, Blankety, blankety, blank (cannot print), looks like a tornado." With that thought, he locked his air brakes, jumped out of the cab while the vehicle was still coming to a stop and hit the ditch. The drivers and only passengers in two cars following behind, saw his actions, and followed suit! When the holocaust had subsided somewhat, the men shook Denny's hand and said they followed his actions, but had ik)t seen the impending tornado! They told him he was probably responsible for saving their lives. Mr. Straumann and one of the men, viewed the valley below and saw that a house and barn had been destroyed by the Storm. They approached the remains of what had been a building and pushed in a barricaded door, to find a mother imd her five children huddled in a corner surrounded by rubble. The family dog did not bark at the two men, but only continued to whimper from fright. Two of the small children jumped on Denny, then hugged shd kissed him, they were so grateful for being rescued. Denjqy and his companion took the family to the home of relatives, then continued on their way. Denny arrived home in the ,area of 7 p.m., to his frightened wife, Phyllis, who had become alarmed at his tardiness. £te was covered with dust, and fed grass and pebbles in his hair, but unharmed. Had the three men travelled (0nly a few more feet, they tould have been in the path of le spinning cloud! A narrow , escape, wouldn't you say? '"J** - FIRST WOMAN TO BE . SEATED AS VILLAGE TRUSTEE Mrs. Ray Aalto, better known §;£Ginny, will take the oath office with pride, Monday, May 1, at 8 p.m., in the beach- rise. She is the first woman be elected trustee since the 'Incorporation of the village, 12 years ago. Although there were . women running as candidates on both tickets for this election, ft was not the first time the dis- , #taff side was represented, llieresa Schultz was a candidate in 1961, but was defeated. ' The entire slate of the Citi- Zen's party were the winners, and include Ginny, Donald Parenti, and Gene Huff for four year terms. Roger Kinsey was elected as two year trustee. Defeated candidates were Bill •' Gleeson, Tony Doolin, Charles • Thacker, and Gerry Jensen, on the Progressive ticket. The straight vote was 95 for Citizens and 81 for the Progress for a total vote of 249. For the first time, there were no spoiled ballots. Ray Osterby cast the first ballot, and Jean Reid was last voter* Judges of election were Myra Murray, Emma Pyritz, and Carrie Kurth. WHY SEND A BOY TO DO A MAN'S JOB? This is a good question, but it is just what will happen when about seventy-five Boy Scouts will meet at the village beach at 9 a.m., Saturday, April 29. Operation, Lake Clean-up will begin at that time, and many m6n are needed to man trucks, and use shovels and rakes. The project was scheduled for last Saturday, but postponed because of the cold weather. We sincerely hope that every able bodied man who can give a few hours for this necessary work will be on hand. A screen has beenplaced over the inlet to the lake, to keep out the carp. The Conservation group met at Sponja last Thursday night, and formulated many plans which will be published as they become available. The members of this organization are very much enthused about preserving the lake and intend to carry out the program. They will meet next month in Lakeland Park. Some weeks ago, Ken Betts was named president and other local men are serving on the board. SENIOR CITIZENS ARE ILL Clayton Nelson, who was a patient in McHenry hospital for a time, has been removed to Battle Creek, Mich., where two of his sons are doctors. Dr. Cliff Nelson was here for a visit last week and took his father and mother to Battle Creek, where they will run tests cm Clay to determine the cause of his illness. Hieodor (Papa) Olsen, was scheduled for surgery on his mouth last Thursday morning. When he checked in to McHenry hospital, he was given an E.K.G. The instrument revealed that he was in the midst of a severe heart attack and surgery plans were cancelled. He was put in the intensive care unit, where he remains, as of Monday morning. He is getting the finest care available and was responding to treatment and rest. His wife, Sally, and other members of his family are very ' much concerned. He will be hospitalized for several more days, and would certainly appreciate cheery messages. ONE CHAMPION, AND ONE COMING ALONG THAT PATH Ginny and Ted Hocin are the proud owners of a real champion German Shepherd and their seven month old puppy made the first leg of that journey. Tracelle of Hebron Hills, affectionately called Tracy,. finished her championship in Gary and Hammond, Ind., last weekend. On Saturday, Tracy placed fourth and won a trophy with 196 points. She was the highest scoring German Shepherd of 100 all breeds entries. On Sunday, with 194 points, she was the second highest scoring German Siepherd of 1,070 entries.

CONFIRMANDS At least three of our local youngster^ made their Confirmation at St. Patrick's church last Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The young people and their sponsors were Jimmy Klapperich, sponsored by Ron Godina; Wendy Cunningham, sponsored by Ellen Huska and Darlene Jensen, whose sponsor was Mary Freund. Relatives who gathered at Eileen and Peter John's home to honor Jim were Kay and Ron Godina1 and their four, Grandmother Katy Greaney; Mr. and Mrs. Bill Klagperich, Jr.; Mr. and Mrs. Marty Klapperich; Annemarie and Wally Scarbrough, and Phyllis and Dick White. Seated at the festive board in the home .of Gerry and Len Jensen were Mary and Gene Freund and their two daughters; Mr. and Mrs. Len Jensen, Sr.; and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Freund and Carol. Dorothy and John Cunningham prepared a ham buffet for Theresa and Steve Huska, Ellen and Steve, Jr.; Mrs. Theresa Cunningham; Jean and Hugh McDonald; and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Kroncke. STUDENT'S FABULOUS THREE WEEKS It took daughter Chrys twenty pages to relate the adventures she had during her three week tour of Europe. She is doing the second half of her junior year of college at the University of Strasbourg, France. She will return to the campus of Mac- Murray College, Jacksonville, in September to complete her studies for a , B. A. degree. During the three week Easter break, she visited Munich £nd Stuttgart, Germany; Rome, Naples, and Venice, Italy; Vienna, Austria; Paris, France; and Geneva and Bale, Switzerland. Her traveling companions were many and varied and memories of them will certainly enrich her life. She has learnt to get along with people of all nations, and is trying to absorb some of their culture and habits. She reports that Rome was the most commercial of all the cities visited, and bilk the tourists. She planned her schedule so that she was riding to r>ne destination by night, so that she could do her sight-seeing by day. With all the breath-taking scenery, perhaps the most awesome was the trip through the Alps, and viewing the Mediterranean from the hills of Naples. She fell in love with Venice and Vienna. There is so much more to tell, but will let her do that in June.

BENEFIT PROGRAM FOR > AREA RETARDED The Woodstock Moose lodge plans its annual benefit program to raise money for the McHenry County Association for the Retarded on Saturday night, May 6, Joseph Botts, chairman, said this week. Tremendous county-wide support has made this one of the finest civic affairs events on the Moose lodge's yearly calendar, Botts continued. Merchants throughout the county donate articles for an auction. All proceeds taken in go toward this benefit fund. In the spirit of the occasion, bartenders and all who help, donate their time. "Every dime taken in goes into this fund," said Botts. "We get many donations of food and refreshments, and the Moose lodge furnishes the hall and facilities without charge." The McHenry County Association for the Retarded is a non-profit volunteer-guided organization which aids the mentally handicapped. For several years it conducted a program Aalto, May 1. Best wishes to . all. For posterity, we record area tornados, April 21, and two inches of snow on the ground, Sunday, April 23! Wow!
