PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 197F MS. ROBERTA PETERS APPEARS IN ELGIN The Fox Valley Music Association will present the world-renown coloratura soprano, Roberta Peters, on Sunday, March 9, at 3:30 P.M. in theHemmens Auditorium, Elgin, for members of the Blue Series. Miss Peters grew up in the Bronx where she began studies at the age of 13 with noted voice teacher William Herman. After six years of intensive study, her childhood dream took place when impresario Sol Hurok heard her sing and promptly signed her to a contract to tour the United States. Her Metropolitan Opera audition resulted in a coveted contract with her debut scheduled to be the Queen of the Night in Mozart's "The Magic Flute". Only two months after her audition, she was called, on a few hours notice, to sing Zerlina in "Don Giovanni". Her debut caused a sensation, launched her career in spec­ tacular fashion, and made her name a household word overnight. She has sub­ sequently starred in 37 dif­ ferent roles at the "Met". She has dazzled audiences abroad at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, Vienna State Opera, and the Bolshoi in Moscow where she was presented the coveted Bolshoi Medal, becoming the first American to receive the honor.

Beat gas costs by using bikes in outdoors What better way to beat the higher costs and spar- sity of gasoline than by providing your own energy for recreation? You can be the source of unlimited, nonpolluting energy by traveling by bicycle. Bike hiking takes you outdoors in a way that is really fun. You can go it alone, as a family, or in organized groups. Any way you choose, biking is a new and invigorating experi­ ence and healthy exer­ cise as well. It also gives you a new perspective of the countryside you miss when you are driving your car. Bicycles are no longer just toys for kids and bi­ cycling is not just another craze. There is a full line of bicycles for youngsters, adults and the semi-pro­ fessional cyclist to meet the needs of those people who want to enjoy this increasingly popular form of recreation. Biking is also a great common de­ nominator: it helps close the generation gap. California kids launch bike sport From sunny southern California, land of motor­ ized mayhem, comes word of a new sport involving wheels but no motors. The sport is actually borrowed from the motorcycle buff but is not dependent upon roaring, blue-smoking ma­ chines; it's Motocross run with and for bicycles. Some of the more in­ ventive youngsters in the west have organized Mo­ tocross into a mildly com­ petitive sport using bicy­ cles specially beefed-up for bumping their way around the tracks improvised in vacant fields. Motocross usually means completing laps around a track in a given amount of time. The rider who completes the most laps is the winner. The course often includes a water hazard, some tricky curves and a straightaway. Preparing a bicycle for Motocross means replacing some of the factory-sup­ plied parts with heavier- duty parts to take the extra punishment dished out by the track and the rider. One bicycle manufac­ turer, Mossberg, makes a bike that is already set up for Motocross. It is called the Mossberg MX and has heavy-duty fork, rims and spokes. It also has a spe­ cial Motocross handlebar stem and Motocross han­ dlebars.

Largely responsible for this surge of interest in claybirding are the for­ malized games of trap and skeet, and the inherent challenge to reach and repeat perfect scores in each. Enjoy a challenge The lure of a "straight" (25 hits out of 25 targets) keeps anyone who enjoys a challenge coming back for round after round. And, if being able to bust a clay disc roughly the diameter of a demi-tasse saucer and flying along at about 48 miles an hour seems a difficult feat, the ft <5 p & The trap field has five ad­ jacent shooting stations. Tar­ gets are thrown at various angles from the trap house in front of the shooters. (llayliinline has become a favorite outdoor pastime for people of all ages and both sexes. fact that top shooters can do it 200 or more times in succession proves that practice makes perfect. Adding to the attraction of trap and skeet is the lack of physical prowess needed to achieve good scores. Women and even kids of nine or ten can shatter targets as easily as the burliest male. For good reflexes and coordi­ nation, rather than mus­ cle, are the only qualifica­ tions needed. Easy to learn The games are easy to learn. Skeet, for example, consist? of eight stations, or positions, on a semi­ circular field. Seven sta­ tions are positioned at equal distances on the circular perimeter, with the eighth in the middle on a line between position one and seven. High house targets are thrown from station one at one end of the semi-circle; low house targets from station seven at the other. High and low targets are shot from each station, and doubles -- si- Manufacturer develops unique Anti-theft system for bikes The increase in popu­ larity of bicycles has led to an increase in bicycle thefts. An unchained, un­ locked bicycle seems es­ pecially tempting to a thief because it is so easy to carry or ride away. Mossberg, in conjunc­ tion with police depart­ ments, bicycle dealers and owners, is helping to min­ imize the growing problem with a new and unique owner identification and reference system. It works like this: every new top-line Mossberg bi­ cycle carries a special owner reply report form. It documents type of bi­ cycle, dealer's name and address, date purchased, serial number, owner's name, initials and address. When returned to Moss­ berg, this serves as a warranty and registration form, entered also into a central cross-index owner identification file. The owner's initials are die-embossed on a special metal identification plate Identification system unique to Mossberg helps thwart thefts. and immediately shipped to the owner. The plate is then permanently mount­ ed by the owner on a spe­ cial adaptation on the bike frame. This patented device, boldly displaying the own­ er's initials, can only be removed forcibly, resulting in damage to the frame of the bicycle. Thus a damaged I.D. plate immediately identi­ fies a stolen bicycle. Intact, the owner can quickly spot his lost bike from a dis­ tance. Any combination of I.D. initials, serial number, and bike type, when checked against Mossberg's central files, will reveal the name and address of the right­ ful owner, date purchased, dealer's name and other information. Police departments, bi­ cycle dealers and owners across the U.S. are being notified of this added protection of Mossberg bi­ cycles. All are being en­ couraged to check with Mossberg on a lost, stolen or recovered unit. It is still advisable to keep your bicycle securely chained and locked even if it's unattended for only a short period of time. The chain should be long enough to pass through the frame and front wheel and wrap around a lamp­ post, rack or other perma­ nent fixture. This advice pertains at home as well because a number of bi­ cycles are stolen from yards and open garages. The future of biking In 1973, there were more bicycles sold than new automobiles. This is very impressive when you con­ sider the long-term love affair Americans have car­ ried on with cars. Perhaps some of this affection is now being diverted to a new love -- the bicycle. It is doubtful that the bike will ever replace the family car as a means of transportation, but the bike is certainly assuming a new importance as a form of recreation. Important attributes of a bicycle are weight and strength. The frame, espe­ cially, should be strong and rigid to sustain the road shock and weight of the rider. Mossberg has recently introduced competition racing bicycles which use Magnamite graphite ma­ terial for the frame. The frame weighs a mere 3.10 pounds, yet is incredibly strong and stiff. The raw material is expensive, how­ ever, so its use is confined to custom professional racing bikes at present. The development of Mossberg's Race-Lite Mag­ namite graphite bicycle is the result of their recog­ nition of the bicycle as a "recreational vehicle" rather than a child's toy. Their efforts in research and development are aimed at making the bi­ cycle safer, stronger and, most of all, fun to ride. With a frame weighing only 3.10 pounds because of its graphite construction, the Mossberg .X-1000 is a competi­ tive racing bicycle of Olympic quality. The bike of the future.

High targets are thrown from station^one at left; low targets from station seven at right. multaneous targets from both houses -- are shot from stations one, two, six and seven. A 25th or "optional" shot is taken after the first miss. Trap explained In trap, the shooters fire in rotation from five adjacent positions in a crescent-shaped field 16 or more yards behind the trap (launcher). After eacli participant takes five shots from a given station, all move one position to the right until each has fired from all five stations for a total of 25 shots. Availability of trap and skeet shooting has in­ creased family interest in both sports. Olin's Win­ chester-Western Division, for example, with its net­ work of franchisfed public shooting centers through­ out the country, has been credited with making more trap and skeet fields avail­ able to the public than any other single organization. These shooting centers, which carry the famous Winchester name, offer free instruction, comfort­ able clubhouse facilities and the opportunity for shooters of all ages to enjoy the challenging sports of trap and skeet.
