PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. JULY 28. 1972 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen : Marge Connell 385-6344 385-3756 Undo Catanzaro Participated In Newspaper Clinic Quite an honor was bestowed on Linda Catanzaro, daughter of Connie and Joe Catanzaro of Hyde Park, when she recently was chosen by Mr. Fabis, English i Instructor and Newspaper Sponsor for Marian Central Catholic high school in Woodstock to attend the communications workshop which was held at Southern Illinois University in Car- bondale. Although sixty-three students participated in the workshop, only one other girl from Northern Illinois was chosen, a young miss from Mundelein. Linda arrived in Carbondale on Friday, June 23, and stayed at the Mae Smith dormitory which is right on campus. The workshop was divided into five categories, journalism, oral interpretation, dance, debate, and theater. Linda attended the journalism workshop with twenty other students and during the two weeks she was there, learned just about everything there is to know about a newspaper and year book. They were taught ad­ vertising, lay-outs, reporting, editorials, features, sports, copy-editing, make-up, and printing. They made up three back pages for the S.I.U. local newspaper while there and al put out their own newspaper fc both v weeks. Linda was production editor on one edition and copy editor for the other. Since the Fourth of July holiday was spent down there, the Professors from S.I.U. took the students on a bus trip into St> Louis, Mo., for the day and a very enjoyable one they had. They visited the beautiful Forest Park Zoo and also were taken to the Muny Opera House where they saw the musical "Follies" with Alexis Smith and the entire Broadway cast. On Saturday, July 8, Connie and Joe drove down to Car­ bondale to bring Linda home; spent the night in a motel and they all arrived back in Holiday Hills on Sunday, July 9. Linda thoroughly enjoyed her two weeks stay at S.I.U. and the journalism workshop. She learned much from this marvelous opportunity and experience, and hopes to fur­ ther her journalism knowledge after graduation from high school next year. - A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING IS CELEBRATED On July 1, Connie Abbink, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Abbink of Evergreen Street, was married to Al Rowlett of Algonquin. Our congratulations were offered several weeks ago, but at that time, we did not have the complete details of this lovely day, and s&w§ would like to relate them now. \ Connie and Al were married at a private ceremony for their immediate family on the morning of July I, at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church in McHenry. Attending the bride as matron of honor was her sister, Mrs. John Mazur (formerly Lynda Abbink). Attending the groom was his new brother-in-law, John Mazur. Following the ceremony, the wedding party and their family enjoyed a brunch, which was later followed by a garden reception for friends and relatives at the bride's home. Quite some time ago, Connie had made her wishes known to her mother, Vi, that she would like to have a garden reception at home following her wedding, rather Qian the usual reception in a hall. And quite a reception it was. The weather. man cooperated completely and provided a beautifully warm and sunny summer day. As the 110 guests began to arrive at 2 p.m., they were greeted by a beautiful scene of tables decked out in white satin ribbons and covered with mountains of hors d'oeuvres which Vi and her sister, Rita McSweeney, had been preparing the week before the wedding. There were swans made out of shrimps, penguins, cheese balls, and many other tasty morsels for the guests to enjoy. At 5 p.m. the newlyweds were further honored at a catered hot sit-down dinner in the large tent which had been provided for the occasion. The tent wa6 also decorated with bridal satin ribbons and bells. Following dinner and the cake cutting ceremony, to go along with the bride's wishes, many of the guests got com­ fortable and enjoyed the facilities provided for yard games. Some also enjoyed the beach. And still other guests spent some time viewing the Jamaican scene which had been created by the bride's parents in the garage. Even that part of their home became festive, as it was decked out to resemble the island of Jamaica, where the newlyweds were to spend their honeymoon. Out of town guests included Geri Porazin from Georgia, Rita and Bob McSweeney from Michigan, and Les and Carol Berens and Julie and Ivan Wiley from Indiana. One of the nicest gifts received by the bride was a scrap book made by her mother. It contains all the memorable events in Connie's life, and is something she will cherish. The newlyweds, following their honeymoon to Jamaica, are at home in Pistakee Highlands. CAMPPOKONOKAH HILLS After planning for several months to. attend the three- week Cadette Girl Scout session at Camp Pokonokah Hills at New Auburn, Wis., June 26 finally arrived and Cathy Connell, daughter of Jack and Marge Connell of Oak Lane, and her girl friend, Cindy Kamp, daughter of Bill and Betty Kamp of Lakeland Park, both Cadette Scouts from Troop 41 in McHenry boarded a bus at Larkin high school in Elgin with other Girl Scouts and started out for the "time of their lives". The Cadettes are the older girls, seventh, eighth and first year high school students anj^ had a Y.N.I, session (You Name It) and planned themselves what they would like to do while away at camp. Although Cathy still has a few blisters on her hands from canoe paddling, she and Cindy certainly enjoyed the three day canoe trip into the "wilder­ ness." Swimming the clear waters of Northern Wisconsin was also enjoyed as was the water skiing which she learned to do. A very exciting raft trip was planned for the girls where they rode the rapids of the Apple River and another highlight of the trip was the six day bicycle jaunt where they rode their bikes and camped covering approximately 150 I CHECK ON SAVINGS SERVICE SPECIALS MOTOR TUNE-UP GM CARS WITH AIR Includes: Points plugs, condenser, PCV valve, fuel filter, air filter, and labor.

Although the weather was cool, the scenery in Nor­ thern Wisconsin was beautiful and the girls still haven't stopped chattering about their camping experiences, the thrills, the spills and all the things that happened to make the three weeks so exciting and memorable. They arrived home tired, but safe and sound on Saturday night, July 15, at the bus station in Elgin and although it was wee to be home again, both were wishing they were just leaving instead hsT returning. . DEAN'S LIST AND SCHOLARSHIP Once again it is our pleasure to report another of our college students receiving the high honor of making the Dean's List. Ray Mettelka, son of Elmer and Earline Mettelka of Hickory Street, has achieved this high honor at Wisconsin State University, located at Stevens Point, Wis. Congratulations, Ray, and also your family...they can cer­ tainly be proud of you. And not only are they proud of their son, but have every right to be equally proud of their daughter, Rita Ann, who not only made the Dean's list this past semester, but has also received a $500 Scholarship from the American Dental Association which she will use to continue her studies at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Rita Ann's major is dental laboratory technology and this will enable her to continue in her chosen field from which she will graduate next year. ide\ U(f F AMILYF4CNIC Seems like half the south side! of Chicago drove all the way Holiday Hills as the cars poured into the subdivision and parked around the Hughes home on Tower Drive on Sunday, July 23, and the oc­ casion was the annual family picnic for Pat Hughes' family. Among those present were the Malec family, Aunt Bess and Uncle Otto and their two daughters, Flo and Phyl, and Jerry Stolecki with son, Bernie, and friend, Chris; the Grunz family, Aunt Emma and Uncle Ray and their two daughters Carol and Judy and her sons, Mark and Scott; Pat's brother, Wally, and Jackie Swan and their daughter, Michelle; Pat's nephew, Wally, and Ronell Swan and their litUe son, Bryon (Pat's great-nephew of whom she's very proud); nieces, Liz and Sharon, and nephew, Ricky; and Jckie Swan's sister, Carol, and her four children. Pat's nieces, Val and Franny Braun, have been vacationing here in Holiday Hills for several weeks and with Pat, Ed, Timmy, Tommy, Eddie, Denise and Kimberly, they really had quite a family gathering. They all enjoyed our swimming beach, some boating and as Pat puts it, with all those Polish and Bohemian cooks present, there sure was lots of delicious food and in general, a good time was had by all. VACATION TRIP A two week vacation was recently enjoyed by Earline and Elmer Mettelka and also gave them the opportunity of visiting their many relatives down south. Thgir first stop was Dup, 111., where they visited Earline's sister, Geneva Bieber, and her two children, Marsha and Roger. After a short stay, they proceeded on to Poplar Bluff, Mo., wh^re they stayed at Earline's parents home, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Dickerson. While there they visited Silver Dollar City, Mo., in the "Land of the Beautiful Ozarks" and really enjoyed the day. Continuing further south, their next stop was Oak Ridge, Tenn., to visit Elmer's brother, Ray, and his wife, Josephine. SEEKS TITLE - Representing Wonder Lake in the Miss McHenry County contest Aug. 2 is 18-year- old Kathy Kronke. With her are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Dreyer. The contest is opening night of the McHenry County Fair. v DON PEASLEY PHOTO One of, th% highlights while there was a 200 mile drive to Chattanooga, Tenn., to have dinner and do a little shopping, Elmer's siter, Katherine Hawkins, and her daughter, Mary, flew up to Oak Ridge from their home in Greenville, S.C., and after several days of visiting, came back to McHenry with Earline and Elm and have been now alternating between Holiday Hills and Palatine visiting both Elm and his brother, Norbert. Both Elm and Earline agree vacations are certainly a nice time to rest, sightsee and visit. C FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY Sunday, July 23, was Jean Louise Kellen's first birthday, and celebrated with a family party. Jeannjg received many nice gifts, but her older brother, Tommy, seemed to enjoy the gift opening much more than his litUe sister. Guests included both sets of grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cook from Evanston, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kellen of Glenview, great- grandmother Mrs. Peter Kellen of Skokie, Aunt Ronnie Kellen, and Aunt Beverly Cook and her boyfriend, Nick, who came for the day from Indianapolis. GET-WELL WISHES Cheery get-well wishes are sent to Mrs. Regina Berens, mother of Vi Abbink, who has spent the last two weeks in McHenry hospital, and will be there awhile yet, recuperating from knee surgery. Upon her release, she will be spending her time at the home of the Abbinks until her cast is removed. She would like to hear from her friends here in Holiday Hills. BIRTHDAYSAND ANNIVERSARIES Happy birthday to Carolyn Stackhouse on July 31, and to Hank Mroz and Norm Jeschke on Aug. 2. A very happy anniversary to Larry and Sharon Kottke on July 29, and Naomi and Nick Adam on Aug. 2, A PLEA FROM YOUR COLUMNISTS We have been trying to make this column enjoyable, and have tried to include as much news as we get wind of. But it is getting increasingly difficult to keep calling different people for their news, especially since both of us have small children at home. People seem to enjoy the lengthy column, but the one week we had no column in, Li** at OPEN Sunday Bom noon 1112 N. Front St. Phone 385-3700 McHenry, III.

One of the climaxes, of course, is the annual 4-H Auction which is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, at Hansen pavilion. The fair book explains that Stefan junior and senior fair com.--Wofkins petition is open to all ages and from any locality. To compete in the Junior open class fair, exhibitors must be at least 9 years old and not 22 years as of last July 1. Here are the people who are serving as superintendents in the various Open class departments this year. Many also work with the 4-H departments, and they will be listed in a subsequent round-up. Open Class Dairy Cattle ~ Bill Davidson, Phil Brown, Dick Pilchard, Virgil Stanley, Russell Rudoph, Henry Seibel, and George Ainger. Open Class Beef Cattle - Carl Laufer and Don Barrett, with Don Stoxen, Clerk, and Vic Miller, Ringman. Open Class Sheep - Roy Lang and Ben Unker, superin­ tendents, and Bob Schufel and Yolanda Kuenster, clerks. Open Class Goats - Roy Lang and Ben Unker, superin­ tendents, and Bob Schufelt, clerk. Open Class Swine - Tom Weber and Lester Finder, superintendents, with Bob Schoenbeck and Jim Schultz, clerks. Open Class Poultry - George Cairns, superintendent. Open Class Rabbits - Frank many asked why. The simple answer was that we received no calls and didn't have the time to try to figure out who to call for news. So here is our plea: Please call us - for any news at all. Going out to dinner is an occasion to call about, vacation news, birthday parties, family reunions, and just anything at all. Or if you can't get through, write the details down and send it over with a child. This, way we can be sure we have all the details correct, and don't have to rely on hearsay. This is your column, and considering the amount of people here in Holiday Hills, there has got to be plenty of excitement every week. And it is easier for you to find us than us to find you. We have asked this before, but we still find ourselves spending endless hours on the phone searching for news. So again - please call us. Our phone numbers are at the top of the column. Livestock Program Rudolph, superintendent, and Mrs. Frank Rudolph, clerk. Open Class jg^ain and vegetables - Normrin Sass, superintendent, and Russell Gieseke clerk. Open Class Home Economics finds Mrs. Kathy Hendrick as chairman and Mrs. Connie as her assistant, king with^them are various departmental leaders, as follows: Flowers -- Mrs. Richard Walrath and Mrs. Kathy Hendrick; Clothing - Mrs. Judy Townsend and Mrs. Francis Hallisy, Fine Arts - Mrs. Kathy Hendrick an0 Mrs. Connie Steffen; Foods -- Mrs. Karen Burg and Mrs. Thomas Kuenster; Girl Scouts - Mrs. Leonard Cotton and Mrs. Colin Andrews. Open class judging is con­ ducted throughout the fair, with the various departments first concentrating on 4-H judging. The dairy open class judging, for example, begins Thursday morning, Aug. 3, second day of the fair. Gardening in both 4-H and open class will be judged at 10 a.m. that same day. Final open class judging in the of­ ficial schedule of events is 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, with the rabbit competition. The 4-H rabbit show will be two days early. One of the satisfactions for fair visitors - as well as exhibitors - is to see the animals, compare them and then view them afterward in the stalls and pens with the various ribbons denoting the results of this keen five days of competition. One purpose of the county fair is for the exhibitors to find out how their efforts and training ranks in comparison with others. This year's broadened fair is further op­ portunity for comparison. % PITCH IN-HELP KEEP WE OLP HOME TOWN CLEAN 45 Th/E HOME. OUR NEW 0N-THE-AIR NUMBER.... *H0NE NUMBE (312>223-5555 DIAL 1220 AM
