We don't want to have another mixup like way back when there were 2 Thanksgiving days in November. Somebody goofed! Last Armistice Day the local veterans observed it on November 11. The national observance day was different Washington's birthday 1972 Locally on February 22, very few flags were on display in town. On February 21st the national observance day, also very few flags were out. Who celebrated which day? ^ Getting so far that real birth­ days don't mean much.

We wheeled over to Wood­ stock Sunday night to attend the Retirement Testimonial Dinner for Toney Roskie. It was great. The honored retiree has spent 43 years between Todd School and Woodstock High. Many of Toney's "boys" from Todd came from distant parts to be present. Young boys, older boys, young girls and older girls were present. They all love Toney. Most of them call him "Coach." Following a welcome by Dr. Roy Habeck, Supt. of Dist. 200, came former Supt. Nelson Stork. He told of having a part in hiring Toney for Woodstock High in 1953 -- with never a regret. Mayor Mel Stuessy, who was a coaching rival and later a partner in officiating athletic events for many years. "Stuess" read testimonials from President Nixon, G o v e r n o r O g i l v i e , Congressman McClory, Senator Percy and many, many others. Joe Lewis, well known referee, had some stories and recollections. Don Peasley took time out from picture taking to express his high opinion of the honored guest. Dick Gentry of Todd and Ernie Shook of Woodstock High, former athletes, had nice memories to express. "Mac" McCracken, who has known Toney since way back when, told of friendship and the many high qualities of his good friend. Sharon Barger (teacher) read many testimonials with her expressive, well modulated voice. For instance we entered the McHenry Country Club Saturday night for the Chamber of Commerce shindig and right away up pops Dick Hester. He's an old time Cardinal fan since the days of the Gas House Gang, but now sees class on the '72 Sox team. Then, who should be sitting This baby Great Horned Owl, three weeks old, was picked up last week by Tom Stark of McHenry in a woods. He contacted James Vavra of the Illinois Department of Conservation (shown above) to ask permission to keep the owl, but was told this was against the law. The bird will be placed temporarily in the Nature center in Crystal Lake. From there, all wildlife will be taken to the con­ servation wildlife refuge in Yorkville. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Adopting Wild Animal Against Law In Illinois There were testimonials from the floor and presen­ tations by Jim Shipley, Dist. 200 Athletic Director. Brian Gerloff spoke in behalf of athletes and students. Bill Nowaskey represented the faculty. Rev. Alfred Murschel of Woodstock Presbyterian Church wound up the program with prayer of Thanksgiving - thankful for men like Toney Roskie to guide thousands of young people over those 43 years. Adopting a wild animal baby is an act of cruelty said Jim Vavra, of law enforcement for the Illinois Department of Conservation. "Every spring we receive phone calls and letters from people who have adopted or who want to adopt baby wild rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, or other animals, Vavra said. "Such action is not only unkind but illegal, and it could be dangerous." Vavra said wild mothers do not run off and leave their young. "They may hide them while they feed, but they do not abandon them. The young animals are in far less danger in the hands of Mother Nature than in the hands of the citizens who want to protect them." "According to our game code, anyone who has a protected wild creature in his possession must have a wild game breeder's permit," Vavra explained. "But the permit does not allow the owner to take a baby animal from a den or its mother. The animal must be obtained legally, and that means it must be pur­ chased from another licensed game breeder. The $10 permit must be obtained before acquiring the animal." Vavra said many persons who take baby wild animals home regret it later. "Frequently a person becomes disenchanted when he or one of his children is bitten. Anyone who handles a wild animal should expect it to try to bite when it matures," Vavra said. "That's the nature of a wild beast. They have not been tamed bv thousands of years of surprise of being asked to M.C. the program. domestication. Then when the person decides to get rid of the animal, he doesn't know how to do it. If released they generally die because they do not know how to search for their own food. "Most people do not consider the danger of rabies," Vavra continued. "I don't want to be an alarmist, but last year several animals were reported that had the deadly disease. In past years, the disease has been found in raccoons, squirrels and other wild animals. The number of rabies cases reported in domestic pets has decreased through the years, but in wild animals rabies has increased, ac­ cording to public health department reports. ~ "A wild animal may havev rabies and not show any£ symptoms for some time.'? Vaccines have been developed*! to protect dogs and cats, but*^ none have been developed^ specifically for wild animals.' If you believe an animal is inl trouble, don't disturb it. Call; the conservation law en-* forcement officer in your* county, and let him handle the' situation. "I suggest we leave the wild • animals in the woods where! they belong," Vavra concluded " "Let Mother Nature take care- of her own. She has been doing' it for years." \ Being a long time friend, we had the honor, pleasure and It was a wonderful tribute to one of the truly great men we have known. He did so much for so many and is winding up his career with the riches of friendships and respect. iNIIINflllllllllllllllltlllllllinillllllilllllllllllllinilllllllllllllllllllllMUiHIHIIIIIIINIIIH!
