Life today MICHAEL SCHULZ AND D. RENEE JENSEfc Wed in June Mr. and Mrs. Raymond C. Jensen, Sr. of McHenry announce the engagement of their daughter, D.

The bride-elect received a nursing assistant certificate from McHenry County College and her fiance graduated from Western Illinois University in 1984. They will be married.June 9. Fraud victim finds out her pen pal already behind bars DEAR ABBY: I started to correspond with a gentleman whose name I found in a magazine. He had advertised for a mature woman to be a pen pal. I will not go into detail because I feel foolish and I don't want to identify myself, but after sending this man "gifts," which he asked for in a roundabout way, and several hundred dollars as 'loans," I learned that I was writing to a man inprison! My question to you, Dear Abbv, 4s this: Why does the law permit prisons to use names and addresses that intentionally conceal the fact that they are prisons? I think that when a prisoner wants to correspond with a stranger, he or she should not have the protection of a phony address. * What is your opinion? DEFRAUDED IN FLORIDA DEAR DEFRAUDED: Same as yours. I have been aware of this for some time, and have commented on it inthis space. But thus far I've been unable to learn the justification for this blatant coverup. Readers? --_--- --• DEAR ABBY: About a month ago, we lost our beloved pet. She had been a constant companion and friend 13 years. I can't believe how her death has affected me. Most people have a very hard time understanding that she was as much a part of my life and family as my husband and children, and I grieve for her as I would for any family member. I feel as though I may need some sort of counseling, but I don't know where to turn. Irm having a difficult time getting on with my life. I feel heartsick and depressed. Some mornings I don't even want to get out of bed. We have other pets, and though we love them very much, none can take her place. Can you help me, please? GRIEF STRICKEN DEAR GRIEF STRICKEN: The pain one feels from having lost a beloved pet should be handled in the same way one copes with a human loss - through counseling. Ask your veterinarian to put you in touch with a therapist who specializes in animal grief. There may even be a "pet-loss support group" where you can express your grief without embarrassment or fear of being put down for "carrying on" as though you had lost a child. Animal-loss, counseling is relatively new, so if it's not available in your area, regular counselors are also trained to help the grief stricken. Meanwhile, please accept my sympathy. * DEAR ABBY: So you don't think making little kids walk 14 miles a day is child abuse? Shame on you! If this had happened in my town and I knew about it, I would have called the child abuse hot line and reported those parents. Yes, I know, in the olden days people walked that far and didn't thinkat HENRY IN MALIBU Senior citizens' lunch menu Although the caterer for meals for the McHenry County Senior Citizens' Council Meet & Eat program requests that / participants sign up for meals one week in advance, they allow changes to be made in the meal count 24 hours prior to each serving day.

JiiiiC i*: Western omelet with Spanish sauce, seasoned noodles, peas and carrots, LWV entertains convention The Woodstock - McHenry League of Women Voters recently put on a very successful humorous skit at the League of Women Voters of Illinois State Convention at Northern Illinois University, DeKalb. This spring, the local league was invited to perform their "Saturday Night Live" type review called, "Wonder Leaguer." The skit had been developed at the local level to encourage membership. It caught the attention of the State Board of Directors, and shortly after, the Woodstock-McHenry group took their act on the road. The cast which performed in front of the 350 members at th@ state convention featured McHenry residents such as Cindy Swartzloff as the narrator; Judy Szilak as Wonder \ Leaguer; Donna Schaefer as Princess Diana; Carol Sek leading an aerobics group; Barb Marrs and Julie Jessup as Rogette Ebert and Jeannie Siskel; Edna Fanning as Margaret Thatcher and the Statue of Liberty. Sherry Floro of Woodstock played Alexis Carrington Colby and Mary Ellen Shine of Johnsburg played Krystle Karrington. After entertaining the group on Friday evening, the official delegation of President Barb Marrs, Judi Szilak and Donna Schaefer fought for three days for adoption of a State study on community mental tieaitn systems.

Liberty Post 188 of the Polish Legion of American Veterans, McHenry, recently attended its first Memorial Mass in. honor of its deceased members. The mass was held at St. Marys .Church in McHenry and over 40 members of the post and ladies auxiliary attended. -. In conjunction with the Mass, the post held the McHenry ob­ servance of Polish Constitution Day. The day before, eight members of the post and auxiliary marched with the other members of the State Department in downtown Chicago for the big parade honoring the Free 1791 Polish Constitution. It was the first free and democratic constitution in Europe and was modeled after the 1776 U.S. Bill. Unfortunately for Poland, within six months of the signing, she was invaded by Russia and Germany and ceased to exist as a country for 200 years. During the occupation, the history, culture, tradition and language were passed on from generation to generation by parents with the fervor and belief that Poland would once again be free. This freedom returned with the end of W.W. I. Today, once again, Poland is occupied, but Poles and Polish-Americans around the world still cherish and pass on, that which they received from parents and grandparents.
