* N PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 10, 1979 Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Foreign Exchange Student Returns CJ Six Years Later The Joe DeMarco family will again be hosting Christine Guillermnri, a foreign ex­ change student from France who stayed with the DeMarcos six years ago. Christine flew in to California last week from Australia, where she is now teaching. She called the DeMarcos to say she would he in McHenry Jan. 8, arriving by bus. She said it was very cold in California, and when told how colft it was here, was almost ready to return to Australia. Christine will be staying with the DeMarcos for a month, so friends may call her at 385-8337 to reminisce about her days as a student at McHenry high /. school. PLANS ALTERED The ice and snow which . ushered in' the New Year, changed the plans of many people. Tricia Goebel's New Year's eve party, complete with authentic spaghetti made by Caterina Simon, the Italian foreign exchange student, was a "happening" the following week. And sister Beth's bir­ thday celebration, her thir­ teenth, not the twelfth as stated in last week's column, also was changed due to the weather. The overnight guests had a great time with the pizzas and sjundaes they concocted in honor of Beth's entry into the teen-age years. Now that Lily Ann and Brian have two teen­ agers in the same house, the year ahead ^should be even more challenging! Maribeth Karas had planned on returning to Wheaton college on Dec. 31, but spent the last part of 1978 with friends in Mc«enry instead. We did manage to drive her back Safely on Monday, in time for beginning rehearsals for her role in "Julius Caesar', the next play to be donej in her drama class. It was great to have the college sf^dents home, letting us absorb some of the knowledge they are working so . hard for. RARE FAMILY SITUATION Qpesn't everyone have a # favorite first huiiliMtd after <T5£!ing wedded for over thirty years? Apologies to Alma Hueckstaedt, who has been 4 receiving a bit of flak from friends and neighbors who want to know more about her marital status. Bud is Alma's only, (first and last) husband, and has always been her favorite. All clear now? rSon Rusty has a New year's resolution, that everyone will be in agreement with. "Resolved, that 1979 will be a year with no more broken bones and hospital stays for the whole Hueckstaedt clan." 1978 found every month with some health problems for someone in the family, including 2 broken legs, a broken finger and thumb. An excellent resolution. Rusty. May it hold true for all i of us. DOUBLE ADDITION Mrs Sarah Morrissette was I given the Title of "Grandmother of Twins" on Jan 4. Mrs. Grant Pemble gave birth to David Grant, 5 lbs., 6 oz.. and Keeley Elizabeth. 6 lbs., 1 oz.. at St. Therese hospital at 11:35 and 11:49. Aunts and uncles of the * first additions to the Pemble household areMr. and Mrs. Paul Kent afidMr. and Mrs. Thomas Durkin. BIRTHDAY BOOK Missed Tom Pierce's bir­ thday on Jan. 6. Hope it was a happy day? Tom. Renee Betancourt celebrates on Jan 10. and Pat Zabroski on the twelfth. Colette Wipper adds another teenage year the fif­ teenth No anniversaries were listed in Alma's file case for this week. Must be that the second week in January has always been too cold, even for weddings. t PET PAINS AND PROBLEMS A pet dog belonging to Jerry Douglas was shot by an unknown person. The bullet went into the dog's eye. and then through its neck. The Vet took care of the throat wound, but whether the dog's sight will be all right is not known. Such cruelty to animals is very sad and depressing. Whimper, the McHenry Nunda library mascot, was walking home in the dark after an afternoon at the library, and inadvertantly crossed Lily Lake raod as a car approached. Fortunately, the driver stopped as' rapidly as possible, and immediately tried to assist the hurt dog. Whimper was hit in the hind quarters, but no bones were broken. She is now fully recovered and back at her duties at the library, playing with the children of all ages, and "protecting" his mistress. SUNSHINE SUPPLIES Senior citizen Otto Witzke has been very grateful this past week for the box of emergency food stuffs made available through the "Meet and Eat" senior nutrition ..program. Otto hasn't been feeling well, so could not get his car out to go to the store during this cold snowy time. He had been given the box as a Christmas gift, and cer­ tainly appreciated the emergency rations. Persons over 60, interested in getting an emergency food box, should contact the "Meet & Eat " group at the Moose lodge on Route 120, 385-8260. This is a good standby to have, when snow and ice forces our seniors to stay inside. SUMMER AT McCORMICK PLACE A visit to the boat and RV show downtown last Wed­ nesday, was a great spirit iifter after being housebound for a few days. Seeing what was new and imaginative in trailers, vans and j-ecreational vehicles made the travel buds water. Until the price tags were noted. Then suddenly, traveling by car didn't seem quite as unexciting as before. Bruno found just the boat to be set in Lily Lake after the dredging has made it into a nice body of water again. Can't you visualize a sailboat with about a 50' mast in the middle of our lake? That is what is known as dreaming. Afterward., a dinner in nearby Chinatown was enjoyed with friends Al and Laura Phannenstill of McHenry. The taste of the summer to come, laced with the below zero that was. gave us a good start for 1979. MAIL CALL The end of 1978 and the beginning of 1979 brings joy and despair in deliveries from mailman. Tom Wiles. The IRS form leaves a dead feeling inside, but then the seed catalogs come, and life is again filled with the hope that the cold and snow will not last forever. Tom appreciates the brave souls who have cleared the deep banks of snow from the mail boxes No access often means no letters. To assure mail delivery, clear away the snow so Tom can reach the box without too much difficulty. COMMUNITY LOSS "Dr. Bill" Nye's death, leaves many of our long time residents with a sense of loss. Not many families who have lived here for a quarter of a century or more, have not in some way been touched by his ability and kindness. McHenry won't seem the same without a "Dr Nye", and many Will sorely miss him. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Jan. 10 - Lily Lake Con­ servation club.
