McNENRY MARKET PLACE > Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 Support The Fireworks On the night of the Fourth of July fireworks, all of the beaches were crowded with spectators and a solid mass of boats could be seen an­ chored out on the lake. Private parties were held at the homes of those with lake front property, with guests lined up in chairs waiting for the yearly spectacular to begin Then came Oct. 10, the night of a benefit dance to raise money for a deficit in the fireworks fund, -- the hall was comparatively empty! The decorations were terrific, really showing the time and effort that must have been put into them; the band and country-western singing group entertained up a storm to. the small audience they had. Granted, Co. 1 Firemen's auxiliary was holding a candlelight bowl that night, which was definitely another worthy endeavor to support, but the bowling alley could never have held the amount of people that were msising from the dance. Come on Wonder Lake - let's get behind our organizations and support them. Don't just sit around complaining about what should be done or how nice things were in the "good old days". Things were friendly then because we were all working for a common goal which should still be taking place. Don't wait until mat Fourth of July to say it's too bad we no longer have fireworks. If you didn't donate last summer or you weren't at the dance sit down and write out a check for the fireworks fund and mail it to the American Legion now. BILL BUCKNER TOSPEAK The Wonder Lake Boys Baseball organization is pleased to be having Bill Buckner of the Chicago Cubs as their guest speaker at the trophy presentation Thur­ sday, Oct. 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. In order to ac­ commodate a large crowd, it will be held in the Woodstock Community high school gym with cake, pop, and coffee served in the cafeteria.

I DAM REPAIRS It seems that whenever a group of Wonder Lake people have gotten together over the past months, the main topic of discussion was centered around the Wonder Lake dam and its repairs. We are constantly seeing opinions of the Army Corp of Engineers, Wisconsin engineering firms and state officials in the newspapers. What it boils down to, is that the dam is in need of some repair and state officials have the right to dictate what action must be taken because if the dam would burst, lives and property could be harmed. Some residents feel that since this is a private take, others should not be able to dictate to us, but this is not the case when there is a possible danger. Right now, as it stands, a 10 dollar assessment per lot will appear on your next subdivision bill to begin the needed repair. This will also appear on your bills in future years with no time limit being placed on it. Previously, a $50 one-time fee was voted on at the Masters Property Owners association meeting, but it was voted down. The next MPOA meeting will be held Sunday, Dec. 13, 2 p.m., at the Wonder Lake Inn. If you have questions before that time, I am told you should contact the director of your subdivision, who is a delegate to the MPOA or Mr. Beard, who is president of the MPOA.

The 1980-81 school year was the first season the East and West Drama clubs worked independently:' The community and parental support, through attendance at school plays, has been gratifying. As it has always been in District 156, the Drama activities budget is self-sustaining. Receiving no money from district funds, the club income is derived totally from ticket sales. Starting this year, a season ticket option has been added for those persons who plan to attend the fall and winter productions, or who just believe that theatre on the high school level is a healthy outlet for today's students. Each program will salute patrons and donors on the back page. A contribution of a particular amount to East or West Campus Drama club would make one a patron. Others will be saluted as donors. This contribution will also entitle contributors to two free tickets to the school's fall and winter productions. Since the an­ nual musical is a district event, this production is not included in the package. The West campus fall plav is a suspense-comedy en­ titled The Gazebo. This first production is scheduled for Oct. 23-25. Contributions to the west campus Drama club will be accepted until the opening night Friday, Oct. 23, according to Director Chuck Popp. The East Campus Drama club will present its fall play, Wait Until Dark, Nov. 6-8. Drama Coach Gina Riddle has indicated that she is still accepting contributions for the East campus program.
