Rescue 50 cancelled Dick Short, president of Harmony Snowmobile Club, announced that the club will not organize its "Rescue 50 marathon" this year. The event over the past 10 years raised over $70,000, principally for the Johnsburg and McHenry Rescue Squads and most recently, the McHenry Crime Stoppers. "Due to uncertain long range snow forecasts and the fact that now the Rescue Squads are government-funded through taxes, our board felt it advisable to cancel the event at least for this year." The Rescue 50 marathon required a lot of work and planning and did burden the Shefiff's Police and Rescue Squads to insure a safe ride, commented Short. "It was always a gamble on weather conditions and this year few forecasters are predicting heavy or long-lasting snow conditions," said Short. The club will re-evaluate the ride and may run it again next year. The club seeks to find ways to support community projects and donates to worthy causes to demonstrate that snowmobilers are responsible citizens. Babysitting f course offered Students interested in learning the responsibilities of babysitting may be interested in a new course being offered by chapters of the American Red Cross and spon­ sored by the City of McHenty Park Department. Students between the ages of 11 to 14 yeah old, both boys and girls are invited. There will be two three-hour sessions held on Jan. 3 and 4 from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. at the Lakeland Park Community Center, 1717 N. Sunset in Lakeland Park.

Equine course finds success at college tudents will also learn how tc act in an emergency or in case of illness, how to play with children of different ages, how to select safe toys and games, how to supervise children, how to diaper and dress infants, and how to feed babies and prepare simple foods for children. The class size will be limited to 15 participants with a minimum of five students for the class. The cost of the course will be five dollars per student. Registration and questions will be handled by the McHenry Park Department at 344-3300. JEMIOLA APPOINTED Ray Jemiola was recently appointed to the police com­ mission. Jemiola is replacing Anthony Pintozzi, who is resigning to move to a new place of residence with his family. The McHenry City Council also approved the purchase of mirrors for the parte dance program at a cost of $952.27, and a $298 stove. Joe Victor, coordinator of agricultural programs at McHenry County College, has high aspirations for Equine Science at the college. He talked in depth about his plans recently in an interview printed in the December, 1984 edition of Horsemen For All Ages, a state magazine published in Fox Lake. Victor's Horse Production Management course, taught for the first time at MCC this fall, had two sections and 70 students. The course was not to be offered this spring, but demand warranted adding it to the schedule. The first day it was possible to regster, 110 people signed up. According to Victor, McHenry County ranks second in the nation in horse population density. This fall, the majority of the horse students were from McHenry County. Now, news of the course has spread and registrations are coming from Kane, and Lake Counties as well. "By the end of spring semester," says Victor, "there should be over 100 people qualified to take further cour­ ses." To that end, two new courses are being planned and will be proposed in the spring. Victor assessed the needs of his Horse Production Management students and found them wanting to know more about breeding, genetics and nutrition. Breeding, Selection and Genetics is the title of one of the new courses he would like to see offered by MCC. That course Page 11 - PLAI!NDEALER HERALD. FRIDAY . DECEMBER 2«. 1984 Work commences on city's skating pond FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Dec. 27, 1934) Work has been commenced on McHenry's skating pond to be located on the baseball diamond next to Route 12. The CWA has approved the project and three or four men have been employed for several days getting the grounds into shape preparatory for the flooding. Last night, Bill Tonyan, CWA official for this vicinity, returned to town to find that the cold weather, made to order to work on the project, had prevented his gang from working. Volunteers came to the rescue, however, hooking up pipes which will convey the water from the city mains to the pond. After the snow is cleared, skaters, young and old, will have one of the finest places to enjoy that sport that any city hereabouts can boast. Much credit must be given the Married Men's Althletic Club for nursing along the idea from a mere rumor to actuality. Two young men will be opening offices here. Earl Walsh will sell all classes of insurance and Attorney Vernon J. Knox will offer legal services to McHenry residents. Knox is also associated with Attorney Henry L. Cowlin in Crystal Lake and will divide his time between the two offices. T wice Told Tales will provide the student with further information about breeding techniques, live animal selection, basic genetic structures and how one can use them to get what they want. Equine Nutrition and Feeding Practices will center study on what horses need and why, in great detail. Victor is working toward an ultimate goal of establishing a degree and certificate program in EqUine Science comparable to what is now available in Agricultural Business, Agricultural Production Management and Ornamental Horticulture T5echoolo©r Ait the ttres^ntyMao credit js possible for 'Equine Science courses. Victor hopes to remedy that situation in the near future. Quoting Victor from the ar­ ticle in Horsemen For All Ages, "This is an ideal situation for myself. I love working with horses and with the people in this area. Certain elements are still developing in this program, so nothing is written in stone yet." ' "We believe in being totally honest with our students. Those in the program now may be with us for three, years before they earn a two-year certificate. It takes approximately one year from the time a class is proposed to implementation. The program is developing in a series of measured steps, each one needing approval by the state for accreditation." New Year's greetings were offered from Fred Smith of the Central Garage, William Spencer of McHenry Flour Mills, Ethel Jones of Agatha Shop, John J. Vycital hardware, Kent and Co., realtors, Jacob Justen and Sons, furniture, Peter Schaefer grocery, Wattles Drug Store, N.J. Justen and Son furniture and Stoffel and Reihansperger insurance. Pink Harrison's at Pistakee Bay offered a New Year's Eve party featuring a one half fried chicken for 25 cents and music by Barbara Herick's orchestra. FIRST INSTitUT? OF TRAVEL!

Leo Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Miller, who reside north of Johnsburg, that their son has been reported missing in action in Germany. He is the twin brother of Leander Miller, who is a sergeant in the army, stationed in Great Falls, Montana. Just before Christmas, relatives of Corp. James Frisby received word that he had been wounded in action in France, Dec. 21. A letter dated Dec. 3 and received by his sister said he was in the thick of fighting with the third army in the Saar Basin in Germany. News of another casualty makes many families concerned over the war department an­ nouncement that it has asked selective service to increase the army's January and February calls from 60,000 to 80,000 each month. A midwestern Christmas scene in a setting familiar to thousands of rail travelers has been put down on canvas by Norman Rockwell, famous artist, and reproduced as the cover illustration of the December 23 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. The painting portrays the train concourse in the Chicago and Northwestern Railway's Chicago passenger station during the Christmas week rush. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Dec. 22, 1959) The Musin' and Meandering column recalled Christmases past when "A dollar went a lot farther then." Doilies for sofas and chairs were a selection made as gifts for family by Adele Froelich when she shopped as a nine-year-old, she recalled.
