V SECTION 2-PAGE 2-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DEC. 14, 1973 Fourth Annual Theta Award To Councilwoman Arlene Fetzner, coun­ cilwoman from Crystal Lake, has received the fourth annual Theta award from the McHenry County Defenders. This is an award given by the Defenders each year to a resident of the county who has contributed significantly to the protection and preservation of the environment of the county. The presentation was made by Defender President Sydna Becker at a reception honoring Mrs. Fetzner held at the Trout Valley home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lanyon. Mrs. Becker presented Mrs. Fetzner with an engraved pewter plate commemorating the occasion, and a citation, which read in part: "To Arlene Fetzner, in recognition of her selfless dedication to the preservation and improvement of en­ vironmental quality in the city (of Crystal Lake and throughout /McHenry county; "We particularly note her ;>many special achievements &nd efforts to improve the quality of life for present and future citizens of our county; "Her intelligence, tact, and persistence, which have enabled her to work effectively with the many groups, in­ dividuals and agencies in­ volved in the large job of preserving the environmental integrity of McHenry county, make her a most worthy recipient of our 1973 Theta award." Mrs. Fetzner's concern for the environment goes back many years. Aware of pollution problems in her area, she helped form the Citizens' committee in 1964 that was responsible for the annexation of the areas north and west of Crystal Lake, so that these sections could have city sewer and water. In 1969, she served as a member of a Chamber of Commerce committee which studied pesticides and recommended to the City Council of Crystal Lake that spraying for mosquitoes be banned, a policy that was adopted and has been in force ever since. Mrs. Fetzner was elected to the Crystal Lake City Council in 1970 and serves as Pollution chairman. It is typical of her commitment to these du^es that she recently attended tfTe three-day First National Conference OR. Managed Growth, held in Chicago by the Urban Research corporation. Following this conference, Mrs. Fetzner prepared a com­ prehensive summary of the proceedings, copies of which she distributed to her fellow council members and to the press. Mrs. Fetzner is the first woman to win the Theta award. Previous winners of the award were Ward Duel of McHenry, former administrator of the McHenry County Health department; Kenneth V. Fiske of Woodstock, executive secretary of the McHenry County Conservation district; and John R. Vougeler and sons, owners and operators of Crystal Lake Disposal Service, Crystal Lake. The "Theta" symbol was selected by the Defenders for their annual award because of its position on the green and white ecology flag. It is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet and represents the death that awaits this planet if positive steps to save it are not taken.

How does a woman twe without a breast? You go into a cancer operation and all you care about is coming through alive. And you come through. You're alive. Now there you are, facing the hard part: How do you live with this drastic change? That's when you need the kind of help you can only get from someone who has been through the same thing. A woman who has had a breast removed reassures another woman who has just had the same operation. She teaches her special exercises. She helps with her clothes problems. She knows how shattering it can be, and helps her pick up the pieces. A man who has lost his voice box helps another man to speak again. Instruction, yes. But more important, encouragement; the example of someone who's lived through the same thing and overcome the same problem. "How can you possibly know what it's like?" "I've been there." That's our program for rehabilitation. It's not just enough to save your life; we also care how well you live it. So if you need help, if you know someone who does, please call our local Unit.
