CAMPING 1 ALL YEAR ROUND • BY BOB NESOFF rvamfegamfe ^FINPTHE LfcTTfcfcS i THIS PICTURE THAT5PELL , ROWDYISM CONTROL IN CAMPGROUNDS Some serious reports have been filtering across my desk from some of the public campgrounds. Not top many years ago, the long-haired, unwashed set discovered camping as a way of having a low-cost vacation that is at the top of the list for enjoyment. Unfortunately, their fun was the bane of many other campers. There were problems "with alcohol, some drugs, public nudity, open sex, and all of the other activities that have come to be associated with the riots at the Chicago Democratic Convention, but so out of place in the woods. Rangers found that by the time they learned of the incidents, perhaps weeks had gone by. The reason is that campers are n o t c o n f r o n t e r s . Neighbors of the rowdies generally kept quiet, made no complaint to the park officials, and said nothing to the offenders. F^IRST HORSE SHOW - Pictured is Shauna Gannon on Mark, the winner of the fourteen year olds »nd under junior pre-training division which took place recently at the Our Farm horse show, 6703 W. Bull Valley road, McHenry. The Our Farm horse show was held at Our Farm, 6703 W. Bull Valley Road, McHenry, at 8:30a.m. on July 6, and judged by Brian Rettaliata. The horse trials were held at8:30 a.m. on July 13 and judged by Fatima Nelson Our Farm hosted its first summer ' horse show at McHenry on July 6 which, in spite of unexpected rain, ap­ peared to be an over-whelming success. The following week. Our Farm put on the first combined training event to be held in McHenry County. Combined training is a competition on horseback in three different divisions with a combined score for all three divisions. The first division is dressage which could be described as similar to scnool tigures in figure skating. The horse and rider must go through certain movements in a dressage ring and a score is marked fo reach movement. The next division involves cross-country riding over obstacles covering a one mile obstacle course. The final stage is a jumping test over brightly painted jumps simulating brick walls, gates, and brush hedges. The show offered a unique opportunity for spectators to watch all three stages of competition from one central location. The picturesque show grounds located at Our Farm on Bull Valley Road in McHenry, allowed spectators to stand at a central location and observe horses competing over a one mile cross-country course over unique obstacles including jumps up and down hill and gates in and out of horse pastures. Sam and Anna Diamond,the owners of Our Farm, were extremely pleased with the turn out for the first event and are expecting an exceptional turn out of competitors and spectators at the next event on August 17. Apparently Channel 5 has taken some interest in this unique competition and, ac­ cording to Anna Diamond, the television news crew for Sor­ ting It Out will be on hand to televise the competition in August. Any spectators or competitors wishing to attend should contact Our Farm in McHenry. This is an ususual entertainment for a Sunday afternoon. There are no ad­ mission charges. But once they got home, pen in hand, they wrote and wrote and wrote. In Ohio park officials found that campers were registering more written complaints about other campers than about park facilities or personnel. Unfortunately, once these rowdies have te"fL the park there is little, if anything, that can be done. Some park officials have blamed the lowering of the drinking age for the increase. Nuts! Kids who wanted to drink have always managed to get the booze. They have just moved locations to the parks. r Trails-a-Way, a monthly -newspaper aimed at campers, recently ran an editorial on this situation. Pointing to a comment by a park ranger that "we busted a few heads and took a few to jail and since then I think our p e o p l e ' c o n d u c t themselves very well," the paper agreed with the forceful action. I would hate to see our, i g o v e -r n m e n t --r u n campgfounds turned into a battle ground, a la Chicago. I do agree that a firm hand must be taken or the offenders will walk all over you. I don't think "busting a few heads" is always the answer, however. Perhaps government park officials might beef up patrols so that the rowdies will be stopped on the spot. Other campers may consider immediately complaining to officials. If they are reluctant to make a direct protest to the offenders, v perhaps a group of family campers may approach in a show of force and determination. The government service may also establish a list of violators who are either not permitted on public grounds, or who will be permitted with a warning. I d o n ' t t h i n k t h i s v i o l a t e s a n y o n e ' s constitutional tights. What we have here is the age-old question of whether or not your right to indulge yourself violates my right to be left alone. If you are infringing on my right to peace, then you should be stopped. As an old college professor once pointed out to me, there is a difference between a right PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 13, 1975 Picnic 'Pick-Me-Ups' To Try A summer 'picnic can be a delightful change of pace for the entire family, and a few spe­ cial touches can make picnick­ ing easier and more fun for everyone. Pack all picnic items, includ­ ing food, silver or plasticware, paper plates and napkins, plas­ tic. glassware and cups, in a large tote basket. It 's much easier to find everything if it 's all together. Try making hamburgers ahead. Form patties, add salt and seasonings, chopped onions if you like, wrap them in foil (6 to a package with Cut-Rite wax paper in between the pat­ ties to prevent sticking to­ gether) and freeze. By the time you arrive at your picnic spot and license. Freedom of speech does not carry the implicit right to cry fire in a crowded theater. and get the grill going, the ham­ burgers should be thawed and ready for cooking. Fresh corn-on-the-cob makes a picnic perfect. Don't try to pick off the cornsilk--take a damp, clean white ScotTowel and rub downward on the ear. The strands will come off easily. Take along colorful Scott placemats and decorated Viva napkins. Because they/e paper, they can be tossed away in the trash can when the picnic is over for less clean-up and less to carry home. Kids and picnics often add up to messy hands and faces. Take along plenty of damp, clean paper towels in a plastic bag for sticky fingers and faces or anything else that needs a quick wipe. Hurricane lamps make an ideal centerpiece for picnic ta­ bles. They're colorful and par­ ticularly useful S CLINT COURTNEY MARENGO PACKING '• ' : Mgpyrfl ppl ...II FRONT QUARTER 8 1 ' SIDE OF BEEF LB. SiCUT FULLY PROCESSED FULLY PROCESSED...

SKATERS RAISE FUNDS - A 24-hour skate-a-thon to defeat muscular dystrophy will be held at Just For Fun Roller Rink, 914 North Front Street, McHenry, Aug. 16. About eighty skaters from the McHenry area are expected to participate in the event. Those participating will ask friends, relatives, merchants and others to "sponsor" them by making a specific cash contribution for each hour they skate. Last year's skaters (pictured above) raised over 13,000 for M.D.A. in this manner. This year's goal has been set at $4,000. This money will go directly toward the purchase of wheelchairs, braces, therapy, clinics and other patient services as needed for the 105 people in the Fox DesPlaines Valley who are afflicted with muscular dystrophy. Sponsor forms and more information can be obtained at the Just For Fun Roller Rink. All proceeds will go to \fuscular Dystrophy. to DAY SPECTACULAR iS25% OFF Save s65 to SI00 per set of four double steel belted radial tires 40,000 MILE TIRES BUILT FOR NEW 1975 CARS THE TIRE THAT KEEPS ITS FEET EVEN IN THE RAIN WHITEWALL SIZE AR78-13 BR78-13 BR78-14 CR78-14 DR78-14 ER78-14 FR78-14 FITS MODELS OF Vega, Pinto, Gremlin, Colt, Fatcon, Toyota & others Vega, Colt, Pinto, Falcon, Mustang & others Gremlin, Hornet, Rambler, Comet, Falcon & others Dart, Chevy I I , Gremlin, Rambler, Falcon, Comet Gremlin, Hornet, Javel in, Val iant, Duster, Barracuda, Maverick & others Matador, Ambassador, Nova, Chevelle, Camaro, Dart, Mustang, Cougar & others Torino, Ambassador, Camaro Cutlass, Chevelle, Challenger, Roadrunner, Charger & others *48.50 $52.08 (52.08 $52.95 $54.18 $55.12 $59.55 WHIIEWALL SIZE FITS MODELS OF HR78-14 Matador Wagon, Sportwagon, Vista Cruiser, LeMans Wagon, Charger Wagon & -ettws $66.90 JR78-14 Chevrolet Wagon, Olds 98, Pontiac Wagon, Chrysler Town and Country Wagon $70.12 GR78-14 Buick, Dodge, Plymouth, Mercury, Chevrolet $62.13 GR78-15 Chevrolet, Polara, Galaxie, Monterey, Fury, Catal ina & others $63.75 HR78-15 Buick, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Olds, Pontiac $68.47 JR78-15 Ford, Mercury, Olds, Plymouth Wagon, Chrysler $71.06 LR76-15 Buick, Cadil lac, Che^olet Wagon, Plymouth, Pcl i t iac & Lincoln Continental $73.90 Plus $2.02 to $3.46 F.E.T. per t ire and old t ire.
