There's An Answer (by INortnan Vin<»c»nt IVtile mid Kutli Stafford IVale) Wants lo strike back Q. During our married years on and off my husband had a night with the boys and I never objected to it. Finally, his night with the boys became weekends with the boys. He drank and life was hell with him. Well, I found out he was visiting the apartment of a divorcee. They both claimed there was nothing but a good friendship and that his visits were only to have a drink together. It's hard to believe that a man would lie, cheat and connive just to have a drink with a woman. He has stopped acting the way he was and is really trying to make amends, but I am heartbroken. I feel cheated, violated and sometimes I wish I could strike back and hurt him the way he hurt me. I think about it night and day and am very nervous. Please help me. • A. To strike back in kird at vour husband would only cause you more anguish, and such a procedure is therefore inadvisable. If you are nervous now, by doing what you suggest you could bring on an emotional breakdown. Knee your husband has stopped his reprehensible actions and is really trying to make amends, the best thing you can do is to give him a chance. And try believing that he is sincere. Remember that belief in a person often leads to realization of such belief. The best advice is to put the past behind you both and start over again. Real happiness can result. Back to the junk food Q. I belong to Overeaters Anonymous, which is a three-fold program for the physical, emotional and spiritual. They ask you to turn your compulsive overeating over to God, to work the spiritual and emotional part of the program, and the physical part will follow. I feel I'm working the program but I keep going bade to my old way of eating, which is junk foods all the time. Do you think I'm not using my higher power, which is God, in the right manner? Can you help me? A (Dr. Peale) Having myself reduced by 35 pounds and further having kept that reduction for over two years, I know from experience that one can defintely control weight. If you image or picturize yourself as being at a certain designated weight figure, your consciousness will help achieve your image. When you return constantly to what you call "junk foods" you are certainly not employing your higher power. We have a booklet, Live Longer Better, which may be helpful to you, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone wishing a free copy may write to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. What to do? Q. What to do, stay home with my mother or go and stay with my children's father who wants to marry me? I was 17 and he was only 18 when I ran away from home and went to stay with him. Things didn't work out because we were just too young. I love him so much and want to spend my life with him, and he loves me. My mother don't want me to have anything to do with him. But if I stay home I can't ever see him, and our two children will never know their father. If I go to him I can't come home any more. What shall I do? A. If you have had two children by a man not your husband and fie wants to marry you, which he should if he is any kind of man at all, then definitely you should marry him and properly take care of your children. If you love him and he loves you, then there is a good possibility of building a satisfying home life together. While we can understand why your mother does not think well of this man, still you cannot let your mother call all the shots.

Library Hosts Open HousO For Village Readers The open house at the McHenry Shores library will take place Thursday, June 1, / from 7 to 10 p.m. at the village hall annex. 3211 Beach drive. Please plan to come and find out what is going on at your library. , A few weeks ago one of the major newspapers published a survey about libraries in the suburbs of Chicago. The best- rated of the ones men|iqflfrCljTiflrt about eight-nine books per capita; the lowest rated had less than one book. Your library, the McHenry Shores library, can boost between two and three books per resident at the present time. That is a very good ratio, especially con sidering that all the libraries mentioned in the survey are fully tax-supported whereas your library does not cost you a penny in taxes. Even though the McHenry Shores library is situated in the village annex and has received the moral support of the village government, it has been established solely through private donations and it is being run by unpaid volunteers. However, all this means nothing if you do not use its facilities. There are books for readers of all ges: love stories, historic romances, aventure books, reference books, and various other types of reading material. If you want to read the current bestseller without spending all of "that money, come visit your library. Remember, at the open house, the first fifty visitors will received free family mem bership cards which will be good for one year. See you at your library. VILLAGE BOARD NEWS At the regular board meeting of the village trustees, the board accepted the resignation of Linda Luerssen.

OFFICER INJURED Officer Jeff Lundius, McHenry Shores ^ Police department, was injured in an automobile accident on Barreville road last week. Jeff is fine now and recuperating at home. Though still on crutches, Jeff expects to be fit as a fiddle in a few days. We wish Jeff a speedy and cheerful "get well". As a result of the accident, the village squad car is out of commission. However, the village will continue to be patrolled by two unmarked cars, and the new village pick up truck has beeen temporarily converted to a squad car complete with radio. The village, therefore, is com pletely covered and well- protected. No loss of police protection was sustained as a result of the accident. Village officials were sur prised and thrilled at the number of residents who called to offer assistance to the village and Officer Lundius. Thus it became very apparent that the village residents do appreciate the efforts of the police department to protect the residents while putting their own lives on the line in order to offer this protection. The offers of aid from the residents ran the gamut of volunteering automobiles to volunteering service and time. Such community spirit really pleased the village officials, and it caused good feelings all around the village. PRESIDENT'S PERTINENTS From the office of the village president comes the following^ item concerning the vandalism done at the Shores' beach. If the culprits involved in the total destruction of the water fountain, pier, basketball back board, beach signs, and caution sign on the concrete bridge are not apprehended, none of these broken items will be repaired or replaced. If a responsible individual wishes to come forward with information on these acts of vandalism, the damaged items could be repaired. There is an ordinance on the books which provides for those responsible to make restitution. The village cannot afford to continue to replace the items at the beach. Concerned citizens must take it upon themselves to seek out these selfish in dividuals and have them accept the consequences of their ac tions. Why do the rest of us have to suffer for a few vandals who destroyed a nice area where the village residents could enjoy themselves? POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWS The McHenry Shores Police department would like to ex tend an invitation to all residents to drop by the police department and meet the of ficers. The officers are there to serve and assist the residents in any way that they can. They cannot give legal advice, but they will be glad to explain any of the ordinances which they are instructed to enforce.

PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER -WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1978 Audubon Spring Census Reveals Over 110 Species owned end operated. Have you ever seen a one- legged Yellowlegs? Or a lonesome Mallard looking for a mate? These two fine birds we're viewed when the McHenry County Audubon participated in the spring census. Not only were the Yellowlegs seen at the sewage4 treatment plant in Hebron and the Mallard in a flooded field near Marengo, but over 110 other species were seen on that day. May 27 will offer another chance to join the McHenry County Audubon at the Rush Creek Conservation area, southeast of Harvard on McGuire road. Along with the informative wooded trails to follow, a newly formed lake has been attracting waterfowl. Because of this varied habitat RustrCreek is one of the more productive 'birding' areas in McHenry county. Those making the trek should meet at the parking lot at 8:45 a.m. Meandering streams--and there are still some in McHenry county--offer excellent en vironment for wildlife, and being a lucky passenger or paddling a canoe is a great way to view stream bank population. On June 17 the McHenry County Audubon will sponsor the third year of canoeing a local stream. Reservations must be made and there is a small charge for rentals. Additional information on this outing or any Audubon programs can be had by calling 455-1570 or 338-3632.
