' McCullpm Lake Pat Milbratz 344 1585 Fishing Derby Provides Prises, Good Fun For All The weekend of Feb. 7 and 8 was a very busy two days for the village of McCullom lake as we had our Fish Derby. Saturday was a pretty rough day as the weather was quite cold and the winds were blowing up a lot of snow across the lake which made it quite hard to see much less fish, but we had quite a few people come • out and try. There were several awards given out this day, the largest and smallest fish were given trophies. The largest fish trophy was given to Dennis Ansell for his 14.7 in. jbass which weighed in at 1.78 lbs. The smallest fish was sought by Gene Freund, it was a 2Afri., green sunfish weighing in at .01 lbs. ' Sunday we had a very good day, the weather was just right for all the rest of the fishermen to get out in the competition. The largest fish trophy went to Todd Swegberg for his 15.7 in., channel cat weighing 1.14 lbs., and the smallest went to Denice Go ugh for her 3 in., Green Sunfish weighing .01 lbs. There was plenty of food and drinks for everyone and also two displays, one by a local taxidermist, and the other, a trophy company. Four very nice gifts were given. First prize was a C.B. radio and antenna unit, which was won by Harold Michels of McCullom lake. Second prize, Polaroid XL camera winner, Denise Freund of McHenry, third ' prize, trolling motor, winner, John Baumgartner of McHenry, and fourth prize, ice fishing tent, Teachers at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church are planning several special programs.

Church Staff Plans Programs The teaching staff at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry, has planned several special programs for the group. The teachers are currently meeting regularly to par­ ticipate in a teacher training program taught by Erv Staveteig. The group is in­ volved in vairious approaches to teaching a lesson, the use of object-lessons and audio- visuals, story telling, and studies of characteristics of students on various age levels. On Feb. 24 a teacher ap­ preciation dinner has been planned by the congregation to honor the members of the teaching staff. The evenings festivities are being coor­ dinated by parish education committee co-chairpersons, Carol Nelson and Pam Um- barger. A resource clinic will be held for the teaching staff Feb. 28. Pastor Eldon DeWeerth, representing the Division of Life and Mission in the Congregation of the American Lutheran church with headquarters in Minneapolis, Minn., will be present for the program. He will display and explain available resources for Daily Vacation Bible schools, grade school age students, confirmation materials, high school age resources, and adult materials. Representatives for twenty-three Lutheran congregations in the North Chicago area will attend this clinic. winner, J.L,. Miller of Spring Grove. Awards were given to Roger Mass and Nick Matos of McHenry for the best homemade ice shacks. All in all, it turned out to be a very successful weekend for everyone. o * FIRST COMMUNION Sunday, Feb. 8, was a very special day at the Jim and Joan Bitterman home on McCullom Lake road, their daughter, Angie, made her First Holy Communion. Following the communion, the family invited a few friends and relatives to their home, Les and Phyliss Venable, Angie's Godparents, grandparents, Leon and Florence Buss, Mrs. Mary Bitterman of Chicago, their Aunt Toots, and her friends, Jill Hanson, Steve and Sherry Scarsbrough. Their guests enjoyed refreshments and played charades. Another happy note from the Bitterman family, Jim and Joan also celebrated their eighteenth anniversary on Sunday, Feb. 8, this made it a doubly happy day. IN HOSPITAL We were very sorry to hear that one of our local residents was stricken with a heart at­ tack the day of the derby. Gene Iotrowski was taken ill when he went out to fish last Sunday. He was taken to McHenry hospital and on Tuesday, transported to the University of Illinois hospital in Chicago where he will undergo further tests. Hope you are up and around again soon.

It was a shame nobody was there. Mr Lindstrom of the E.P.A , Mr Higgens of the Lakeland Park Water Co., Mayor Stanek and Atty. Daniel Weisz were all there, but nobody from Lakeland Park except the board members and our aldermen. It's funny that when laws are passed or taxes are increased everyone complains. "How dare they do these kind of things!*' We have no one to blame but ourselves, because we allow governing bodies to make decisions for us without representation. Think, if we would be present during the discussions, before the laws are passed or taxes increased, there would be much better control over our own lives. Stop making excuses and get with it!
