There are leaders who "burn the trail ". and initiate wor­ thwhile programs within a community And there are leaders who serve as ""reinforcers." con­ tinuing to upgrade worthwhile program^ that have already been initiated There are also a few people who serve as "inspirational" leaders in a community Mrs Arlette Rietesel. a life­ time resident of McHenry. qualifies as a community leader no matter whose definition is used She's "burned the trail", initiating FISH in McHenry She's been a "reinforcer" through her work with the Women's club, the Garden club, and the Senior Citizens club And she's also been an inspirational" leader to the community, overcoming a >evere stroke to contribute in many meaningful ways And yet. it doesn t seem quite fair to speak of Mrs Reitesel without speaking also of her husband. Carl, who operates a boat-covering business The two just seem to go .together When Mrs Rietesel suffered her stroke five years ago. it was Carl, among others, who helped her "He was a real inspiration to me." she said "He always encouraged me to do things, and to keep trying " . Through her husband's support and understanding, and her own dogged deter mination. Mrs. Rietesel has been able to return to a full and active life And her recovery spawned FISH. Friends In Service Here "While I was going to therapy. 1 began to become aware of people who needed therapy and had no means of transportation to get it." she explained "At the time, there was a FISH operating in Crystal Lake, but even before ours started. 1 was looking for people w ho would be w illing to help drive others to therapy "You need a lot of backing and support to start an organization like FISH." she added So I went before the Women's club, and presented my idea They thought it was a good idea, and FISH grew from there." Now that FISH is a suc­ cessful. viable organization. Mrs Rietesel continues to serve the organization in a very important way She writes and distributes a newsletter each month explaining to members what FISH is doing and what it plans to do Mrs. Reitesel is proud of the way FISH has grown, but mostly, she likes to talk about people "You hear so much about people not helping one another." she said "But my neighbors here have been so wonderful One drove me to Includes Steal« Fries Scup c Sa'ad ' crr-rx.

Mrs Rietesel feels the key to overcoming a handicap is to avoid despondency "I've been spared the despondency." she said "My husband and others have been so helpful, that I never fell into that trap "Some people get so despondent." she added, "that they cannot ever get out of it "I don't consider myself handicapped." she said "1 don't like people to wait on me except when it's appropriate, like at a restaurant. In the home, though, anything goes "My husband has always encouraged me to do things." she added "He does worry about me doing too much, though " Mrs Rietesel's philosophy on life is "to take things one day at a time " It's all the things she done in one day that's so amazing Seventy-five plants of various shapes and sizes adorn the Rietesel household, and she takes daily care of each one She also does bookwork for her husband and has time for her Women's club. Garden club, and Senior Citizen outings That amount of activity is remarkable for any woman, let alone one who suffered a stroke just five years ago. "I'm moved by people," she concluded "People are won­ derful." Mrs Arlette Rietesel has served as a moving in spiration tor many other people also. She's a community leader by any definition.
