OCTOBER 1», 1S77 Wonder Lake Wary Jean Huff 728-0267 Fifty Years Of Employment To End Oct. 31 After working for fifty years, the past nine at Morton Chemical in Ringwood, Paul Polodori of Hickory Falls 3, is retiring. On his last day at Morton, Oct. 31, there will be a celebration for Paul and his co­ workers with cake and coffee served to all and a special gift from the company presented to Paul. Sometime in the future Paul and his wife, Laverne, will start en joying the fun and freedom of the retirement life with a trip to Arizona. The Polidori's have been residents of Wonder Lake for fifteen years, the past nine permanent residents. They are the parents of three sons, Ronald at home, Gary and his wife Kathy, who live in McHenry, and Paul and his wife, Gerry, who reside in Cincinnati, Ohio. They have one special grandson, Mike, who is the son of Paul and Gerry. We add our congratulations to Paul Polidori and his wife, Laverne, on their retirement and wish them a relaxing and happy future. YOUNG AT HEARTS Plans haye been made for the Young at Hearts Christmas party. It will be celebrated Dec. 14 at the Old Mill inn in Wonder Lake. Young at Hearter's Nellie and Julius Margolies have left the group, having moved to Chicago. Irene Solinski is now in the Florence Nursing home, Marengo, She would be happy to have freinds write or visit her. President Marie Robinson, who continues to improve from ho* injury in June, hopes to be back with her group in November. In the meantime, her friends have remembered her with a mountain of get well cards, plants and many phone calls. The next meeting of the Young at Hearts will be Wednesday, Oct. 19, at Christ the King hall. TRIP TO PARADISE Ann Mrowka, Catherine Omerzo, Vi Rochowicz and Louise Armamentos are singing the praises of the Hawaiian islands after returning recently from a two week tour of our fiftieth state. Their first day was spent at Hilo on the island of Hawaii where the sightseeing began. They saw such marvels as the Giant Tree Fern forest, the beautiful Orchid islands and interestingly enough, the Kilauea crater, the volcano which erupted and was in the news the day after the girls saw it. A trip on a glass bottom boat gave them a chance to see the breathtaking view of coral and fish underwater. No trip to Hawaii would be complete without a luau and the group watched the pig being put into the ground in the morning and covered with leaves and burlap. They woe a little surprised in the evening to find it tasted like stew meat. They also expected the way it was served to be less formal and different. The island of Maui was their next stop and here they celebrated Louise's birthday Sept. 29. They tried a swim in the ocean and returned to their hotel with bruises on their legs from the impact of the waves as they sat on the edge of the ocean and sand, sand, sand in their swimsuits. Shopping filled many of their hours, but they found time for hula lessons. Vi, Ann and Louise earned their official hula certificates and Catherine received a special certificate for "watching". The next flight was to Kauai for a visit to the impressive Fern grotto and a memorable torchlight ceremony at sun­ down. Supper that night was an outdoor turkey barbecue with all the trimmings. Next day, they tound a market place on Kauai for shopping and lunch and a leisurely walk back to the hotel, enjoying the beautiful scenery and water lilies. Honolulu was the last island to visit and they stayed in a hotel across from Waikiki Beach. During a tour of Honolulu they saw the famous Punch Bowl, the Iolani palace and the University of Hawaii. A cruise to Pearl Harbor aboard a boat named the Arizona gave our travelers a chance to remark about the truly blue water of the ocean and the beauty of Diamond Head and Honolulu beach. They saw a Polynesian spectacular at night, a hulu show and learned of primitive Hawaiian days during a visit to the Polynesian Culture center. On Honolulu there was lots of shopping, lots of pineapple and fruit to eat and lots of walking. With their bags a whole lot fuller than when they came to the islands, our Wonder Lakers flew home Oct. 8, with pineapples, souvenirs, sun tans and tired feet - oh yes, and a wealth of memories of a trip of a lifetime.

I I I I I I I I I I Minors Acts Of Vandalism To Cost Parents The board of the village of Lakemoor, at its monthly meeting TTiursday, Oct. 13, passed an ordinance making parents responsible for the acts of vandalism committed, by minor children, ages 7-18. Parents may be fined no less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than $500 for each of­ fense. Carol Schmidt, village clerk, will have copies of the ordinance available at the village hall in the Lakemoor Municipal building Monday evenings, 8:30 to 8:30 p.m., the regular hours that village business may be conducted. - President Dick Hyatt proclaimed that trick-and- treating time for Lakemoor be between the hours of 3:30 p.m and 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31. That should give the ghosts and goblins enough safe time to do their T & T. CONSERVATION MEETING Bruno Karas asks that persons with suggestions, answers, time, and a willingness to accomplish the goal of a water-filled, clean lake, come to the Lakemoor Municipal building Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. A progress report will be given on the input from State Senators Karl Berning and Jack Schaffer, and the Illinois conservation persons as a result of the Oct. 11 meeting. Committees will be set up, with definite purposes and a timetable. Water is a necessity for life and we must all be aware of it and take care of it. You are needed for this project. P.F.Y. How many children fill our school busses every day? How many parents say, "There is nothing for our children to do for fun in our area?" The Parents For Youth meet every second Wednesday of the month at 8 p.m. at the Lakemoor Municipal building to plan activities for our children. More working adults are needed to keep this worthwhile organization going, it seems that those of us who do the most complaining about lack of supervised activities, are not the ones who do the planning and leg work. Are a few hours monthly too much to give for a community effort? The Halloween party is going to be Monday, Oct. 31, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lakemoor Municipal building. Judging will be for the greatest, most grotesque, most decorated pumpkins, and also for the different styles of costumes. The P.F.Y. would greatly appreciate any Halloween artd- or Christmas decorations, as theirs were somehow lost or stolen. If you can't help with time, donations are badly needed. For more information, call 385-2517. MENDING Jo Bartell, who has had her leg in a cast these past weeks, finally got around with a walker, and is now looking forward to driving again. It will be great to get out, won't it, Jo? LIBERATED (?) Don Vornkahl had a ten- speed, gold bicycle with a new silver fork. Someone else has it as of Sept. 25, when it was stolen. Don would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have seen his bike. INFANTS The Willard Pierce family was happily increased with the coming of Schuyler, son of Patrick and G.J., Oct. 7, in Stevens Point, Wis.

NATURE TIME Door county, Wis. in October! This is where the Kawells- Earl, Gerry, Diane, George, and Cari, and Charlene, Heather, and Kenny Truesdell spent the Columbus day weekend. They set up their tent and camper in the rain Saturday morning in the Penninsula State park, and then the sun came out and the weather was beautiful the rest of the stay. The gorgeous golds of the birch trees, the firey oranges and yellows of the sugar maples, and the red, red dogwoods were striking against the greens of the various pines The families took a long nature walk with gram and gram pa weakening toward the end; cut up dead trees for the fire; and had a beautiful time appreciating God's beauty. Spirits were a little dam­ pened on the drive home because those 230 miles were driven in pouring rain. This did not dim the memory of a fun family trip in the fall to magnificent Door county. COMING EVENTS Oct. 20: Library board of trustees meeting, 8:30 p.m. at the McHenry-Nunda library, Lily Lake road and Columbus road. Oct. 22: District No. 156 referendum.

Plocher, Extension Adviser, McHenry County, University of Illinois Banquet Planned As 4-H week progressed the Extension office and the many volunteers were busy working out more details of the annual recognition banquet. All McHenry county volunteer adult leaders and ap­ proximately 120 4-H members will be the honored guests at the annual 4-H leaders recognition and 4-H members awards banquet Friday, Nov. 11. The banquet and recognition program is being set up by 4-H leaders and 4-H members, with each group planning the program for the other group. The banquet is sponsored by 4- H boosters in the community, 4- H clubs and particularly those attending. „ Master of ceremonies at the banquet will be Larry West, chairman of the county Ex­ tension Youth council. Banquet committee members include 4- H leaders, Irene Kuhlman, chairperson, Hebron; Joanne Harrison, Greenwood; Shirley Borchart, Wonder Lake; Ruby Wittmus, Harvard; Nancy Gieseke, Crystal Lake; and 4-H members Dawn Vogts, Woodstock; Judy Vyduna and Shelly VonBruenchenhein, McHenry; Bob Thompson, Greenwood; and Joyce Orr, Harvard. New Projects During the next month. 4-H- ers will be deciding which projects they will enroll in this year. Several new projects and several changes exist this year which 4-H families and members should know about. One new project this year is called "Exploring 4-H". Especially for eight and 9-year- old 4-H'ers, this project can be an exciting project the whole family can become involved in. Learning more about them­ selves and their neighborhood are only two of the many ac­ tivities. The caged birds and cavies (guinea pig) projects have 4-H manuals for them beginning this year. The electricity project has a new first year manual this year. Ten and 11-year-olds will enjoy this easy to read manual. A new leaders manual has been developed for this first year unit. All 4-H projects are set up with suggested activities and goals to lead 4-H'ers. These suggestions give them room for self exploration. Judges Three ladies judged the twenty-one 4-H promotion displays around the county recently. The twenty-one 4-H clubs whose members worked hard to put them together. There have been a lot of calls from youths and parents in­ terested in knowing how they can join 4-H as members and leaders because of the displays and newspaper articles. Advisers Conference This week, extension ad­ visers are attending the annual fall conference at the University of Illinois in Ur- bana. Secretaries will be holding down the office, so don't hesitate to call them with any questions. The University of Illinois holds a conference each fall to teach its extension staff about research results, that are especially relevant to the needs of our clients. This year's conference will concentrate mostly on energy resources and their efficient use, but advisers will also be able to choose among update classes in livestock production, crops and gardening, legal and economic aspects of far­ ming, youth development, family and home life, health care and nutrition, recreation and communication skills. All the advisers will attend a series of sessions on the national energy outlook and the role extension can play in energy education. With all the new develop­ ments in agriculture, home economics, community resource development and 4-H and youth development, there is a mountain of information to stay on top of.
