The Women's club have a number of activities planned for the coming year, one of which will be the haunted house for Halloween. Dates for the haunted house are Friday, Oct. 28 through Sunday, Oct; 30. The thirty-first was dropped since it conflicted with some doings of the scouts. DID YOU KNOW? ~ The little white church on Wilmot and Ringwood roads that I wrote about a few weeks igo was the forerunner to the present St. John the Baptist church in Johnsburg? It was built in 1843 and its successor was built in brick in 1853. A third chapel was built and it was destroyed by fire in 1900. After this the present church was built. In 1927 the church was renovated and redecorated. In 1976 the Personality house was built and used as a fund-raiser to restore St. Johns. The church is reminiscent of the old world German cathedrals since the. first settlers and original builders of the church came from Germany. It is the oldest German Catholic center in the state of Illinois. POLICE NOTES The Sunnyside Police department used the barn of Leo Backs for their recent bike registration. Since the turnout for the registration was poor, the department will hold another registration. A date has not yet been set. CONDOLENCES Village officials and friends extend their condolences to Chief Earl Kramer and his family and his brother, Rick, on the loss of their grandmother, Mrs. Charles Kramer of Pistakee Highlands, who passed away Sept. 20.

McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344-1575 Mini-Crowd No Deterrent To Good Time The Beach Gals social night, held Sept. 21, was, un­ fortunately, not very well at­ tended. A terrific time was had by the girls who did come out, and the members and guests were entertained in high style < by present and former officers of the club, who were gracious enough to make themselves look like monkeys for everyone's pleasure. Some yummy refreshments were served and games were played. Now, you new gals, we hope to see you at our next regular meeting Oct. 5. LOSE SOMETHING?

Clean Water A dramatic improvement in the quality of Illinois waters over the past three years in­ dicates that compliance by dischargers with state regulations is starting to benefit fishermen. The frequency of lead pollution, dissolved oxygen pollution and human and animal waste contamination have decreased significantly. The Illinois Environmental Protection agency maintains a water quality stream network of approximately 550 stations, exclusive of Lake Michigan. Spotlite On Sunnyside • '5;f % ' V>: ; // v. JoAnne Britt Generally, it takes a family several years before they are accepted and adjust to a new community. However, that hasn't been the case with JoAnne Britt, who has literally taken the Pistakee Terrace area by storm. Having moved to the area just two years ago, she has already been elected president of the Pistakee Terrace association, the first woman ever to hold such a position. Yet, those persons who know Mrs. Britt will say that her getting totally involved in the community should be expected. She is just that type of woman.' Certainly, she has enough energy to run a dozen associations, and she has enough activities going at the same tiipe that it is almost a wonder she keeps everything straight. Her biggest thing at the moment is her work with the Pistakee Terrace association. She was named president in April, and explained that her work with the group is primarily targeted toward improving roads, beaches, and general living conditions. The biggest association project to date has been the development of a park in the subdivision, with future plans including the installation of a Staff photos by Wayne Gaylord Storv series by Jeff Bonato boat launch and a basketball court. Mrs. Britt is one of many involved in the project, which is being done through the volunteer efforts of many persons. Besides serving as association president, Mrs. Britt also is involved with the Pet Welfare group, serving as a backup person to Erika Frey, who heads the organization. Mrs. Britt has two dogs and one cat of her own. spurgeon's HURRY! ! !

Her major goal for the community in which she lives is "to make our small subdivision grow and make our community a better place for our children. I'd like the people of our community to have a better understanding of the way they live, and have greater pride in their community." She then noted that she was very pleasantly surprised to find out how many persons were willing to volunteer time in order to accomplish com­ munity projects. Mrs. Britt's life includes many other things besides her community work. She knits, crochets, does sketches, and is a boat fanatic. She said she became in­ terested in boating through her husband, Richard. They have been married for twenty years, and have four children, in­ cluding one who is just eleven months old. She finds a challenge in boat racing, noting that before that, she used to race cars at Soldier Field in Chicago. On racing, she says, "It's exciting, a very stimulating hobby." She is also learning golf and enjoys riding motorcycles on the ice during the winter. Presently, she is working with a representative of Sunnyside in an effort to form a Teen club for the young people in the area. All this in a twenty-four hour day! How and why does she do it? "My grandfather gave me a bit of advice long ago, and I live by it. He said, 'The more you learn, the less anyone can take away from you, and the more you meet different people, the more you can count your own blessings.'" Mrs. Britt has been a blessing to the residents of the Sun­ nyside and Pistakee Terrace area, also. Certainly, when seeking out leaders in the community, the spotlite rightfully falls on JoAnne Britt.
