Thursday, September 2. 1965 MCCULLOM LAKE NEWS EVE LEVESQUE BEAUTIES. BIKES BUGGIES FEATURE SUMMER FESTIVAL Congrats to Dawn Conway who will reign for one year as Miss McCullom Lake. She was crowned Saturday night by last year's queen, Dawn Mc- Kim. Something magical about the name Dawn! Rhonda Scarbrough was first runner up and petite Debbie Damiano was the second runner up. Debbie Straumann was an ' excited little girl as she received first place in the buggy contest with her entry "Engine, engine No. 9" and Brad Whitney flashed a handsome wide grin when he realized he had been awarded top prize for his bike entry. It was a horse pulling a covered wagon. More complete details appear elsewhere in the Plaindealer. Very special mention must go to 15 year old Jimmy Bailey and to Lennie Larson for risking pneumonia in the extreme cold, but allowing themselves to be targets for "dip the drip". Usually a very popular attraction, this particular one ran out of volunteers! Special credit for the success of the venture must go to Rich Johnson who handled each crisis with skill and aptitude. His wife, Gail, also proved invaluable. It would be impossible to list all adults and youngsters who gave unstintingly of their time and talent but we must mention those who did even a little bit more. They were Dave Scarbrough, Myra and Earl Murray, Jeanette and Ken Betts, the Chuck Thackers, Bonnie Egerstaffer and son, Dave, Dawn Parenti, Jackie Whitney, Frank Poledna, Laurie Murray, Johnny Scarbrough, Carrie Kurth, Ray Lary. If we have missed anyone, it was not this reporter's intention or of those who contributed the names. The wonderful, wonderful patrons who braved the frigid temperature must also be commended. Outside the village limits, there were--those who contributed to the success of the festival, too. We're grateful to the nine judges and especially to lovely Gail Marquart who stepped into the role at the last minute when Miss Judy Conley was unable to fulfill her commitment because of serious illness in the family. Mrs. Irene Adams of McHenry gave invaluable assistance to chairman of the queen contest, Chrys Levesque. Man Injured In Fall From Moving Vehicle Larry Jackson, 59, sustained serious injuries when he fell from a moving truck last Thursday, Aug. 26, at 6:30 p.m. He was moving his family from N. Orchard Drive to West Shore Beach and riding on the back of a truck driven by his stepson, Ronald Tranberg, of W. Sh. B. trying to steady a large dresser among other articles of furniture. Mr. Jackson apparently was pushed off balance and he and the dresser dropped to the ground. Officer George Scarbrough who lives in a home adjacent to the accident spot heard the crash and investigated. He instructed his wife, Bridget, to call Chief Murray while officer Scarbrough rendered first aid to the victim. Chief Murray radioed for an ambulance which came immediately and took the injured man to McHenry hospital where it was discovered that he had suffered a fractured left knee, multiple abrasions, lacerations and contusions. While awaiting the arrival of the ambulance, officer Ken Loesch protected the injured man by directing traffic around the accident scene. Mrs. Jackson was a passenger in the cab when her husband fell. THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER JOIN THE THOUSANDS SWITCHING TO WARDS RIVERSIDE PRE LABOR DAY /vVoNTGOME RY WARD 4, ,1y, , 5TA*TS THURS SEPT. 2nd still in a great deal of pain following a very bad fall while on a picnic in Wisconsin on the 4th of July. She was bruised over most of her body and suffered a blood clot in the right leg for which she is still receiving the ministrations of a doctor. During her long confinement at home, Louise was cheered with visits from her many friends including members of her pinochle club. The "thoughty" gals presented her with a beautiful robe which would raise anyone's morale! We sincerely hope that Louise who has such a gentle nature will be relieved 6f her burden of pain in the very near future. Equine Receives Governor's Trophy History repeated itself when Miss Sunbonnet, a yearling quarterhorse, owned by Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Mass received the Governor's trophy at the Illinois State Fair held in Springfield recently. The horse was shown by Ronald Coleman, foreman of the farm. The beautiful animal also was awarded Tl) yearling filly class in competition with forty horses, (2) Land of Lincoln award, and (3) best of the breed. She was sired by Two Eyed Jack who received the same awards in 1962 as a yearling. Two Eyed Jack was sold for $25,- 000 at the annual quarterhorse sale last year. Little League Picnic Overcast skies and cold did nothing to dampen the spirits of the Little League organization as members enjoyed an outing last Sunday. The fabulous picnic was held on the grounds owned by the McCullom Lake Sportsmen's Club. The young lads gorged themselves on hot dogs with all the trimmings then proceeded to work off any lethargy by riding horses, playing ball and indulging in gunny sack races. A source of amusement for all was when the wives of the adult coaches and managers participated in the sport! Acting as chaperones and enjoying themselves were Lor raine and Gene Johnson, Bar bara and Chuck Thacker, the Mark Ringelstetters, Evie O'- /Haleran, the Winters from Ringwood, Kay and Ronal Godina and Mr. and Mrs. Hill Kaminski who is the manager of the teams. Still Suffering After Seven Weeks Our deepest sympathy to i Mrs. Carl Berquist who is Fun In Florida For Two Teens From a card received from niece Lynne Schultz, she and gal pal Bernice Bjork were having a wonderful time in Florida last week. The two young women were part of an entourage from Nativity Lutheran church, Wonder Lake, attending the national Luther League convention in Miami. They paused en route in Lakeland, Fla., and Silver Springs to view ocean depths through glass bottomed boats. Then it was on to Cypress Gardens for the world reknown water ski show featuring all those beautiful, girls and handsome guys! They eventually reached Miami and the convention and we'll cover that next week. Speaking of the Bjorks, it was wonderful to see blonde Diane Bjork during her brief hiatus from her job in' Wisconsin. Unfortunately, she was called back because of business press and we were denied more of her exhuberant company. Season Ends On Sour Note Mighty disappointed were members of the Little League when they lost their last two games to Lakeland Park on successive Saturdays. The first close loss was 10-9 on Aug. 21 and 9-8 last Saturday. Their spirits soared however as they thought about the upcoming picnic the next day, which has already been covered. Family Spends Time Together It has been four years since Barbara Sawdo left the comforts of home to tackle the world on HefSpwn. She accomplished her goal and has established a comfortable arrangement with her' wonderful job in Janesville, Wis. Mom and dad Lil and Lee Sawdo were delighted when she was able to arrange some time off to join them in Oconto, Wis. Also included was Barbara's friend, Dave Walker, of Janesville. Barbara has been staying in the village with her parents this week and visiting with her many friends from the "good old days". "Help".
