McCullom Lake Pat Milbratz 344 1585 76'ers Downed In First Game Of The Season The McCullom Lake Softball team started off their season on June 9. The girls started off* with a big game, the Lakers beating the 76'ers by a score of 15 to 9. The girls will be playing softball- every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. The girls on the 76'ers played their hearts out and almost won for their coachv who was there for the first game, but had to tell the girls she will not be able to be with them for the rest of the season. We all wish you the best of luck in your job Peggy, and we hope, if you are able, you will come to visit us at one of'the future gardes. The girls all played a good game but the best team won, Congratulations, Lakers. BOYS LITTLE LEAGUE The McCullom Lake Little League played on June 10 with the Cubs defeating the Tigers by a score of 3 to 0. Better luck next time, Tigers. The boys play ball on Tuesday and Thursdays. VILLAGE CLERK We would'like to remind the people of the village that the village clerkS office hours have changed and the office is now at the McCullom Lake beach house. The hours are from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Satur­ days. It is advisable to call the beach house first at 385-9582. GRADUATION There were several graduations in the village the end of May. Among them were William Cunningham, Colleen Godina, Roy Sullivan, Kevin Rourke, and Bob Boyle. The happy celebration was for Bob Boyle who was from McHenry West campus. Among the very happy well wishers were Bob's grandparents, Frank and Carrie Kirth, and Bob's brother, Dr. John Boyle and his wife, Karen, and little John. Also present in their home were several of Bob's friends. Also from McHenry West campus graduating class was Kevin Rourke. The proud family and friends attended a celebration in their home. Present were Kevin'sl brother, John and his wife, Edie, and their two children, his sister, Cynthia, and her husband, Nick, and their two children. The guests all enjoyed an outdoor party. It was graduation time again in my family as my son William, Jr. graduated from Parkland Junior high. The graduation was attended by his grandmother from Norridge, Mrs. Olive Marsh and her future, husband, Duke Kroll,' and our immediate family. Billy had his graduation party on June 5. It was a very warm day out and we had about forty- five people. Everyone had plenty to eat and drink, and there was plenty of noise, but of course it was a happy sound. The evening ended with a big campfire with all the kids roasting marshmallows. Some of the guests attending the party were Raymond and Sharon Schnick from LaPorte, In., and the three children; the Raymond Ball family from Northlake, U, the Eddie Ad- jorans from Chicago, Mrs. McGee and the Reichel family of Chicago. Also present were Billy's godmother, Mrs. Violet MQbratz and her family, and Billy's godfather, Harold Lehst and his family. All in all, a nice time was had by everyone and as they all left, their goodbyes ended by saying, "We'll see you at the graduation next year." BEACH GALS The Beach Gals meeting of June 2, was both a happy and sad occasion. The liappy occasion was a party and the sad oc­ casion was that the party was for one of our regular gals who is leaving. I was unable to attend but I was told that everyone that attended had a very nice time. We are all sorry* to see Lolly Rowe leave but she has a new home to go to in Milwaukee. I am sure she will be very happy there but she will be missed. Also at the meeting was business. The girls voted to donate money to buy hats for the girls' softball teams. VACATION A very well deserved vacation is being enjoyed by Gerry Milbratz and two of her three children, Gloria and Tommie. The three of them spent a week in Arizona and are now spending a week in California with Gerry's sister Elaine and her family. I am quite sure they are all enjoying their vacation but I believe they will be welcomed home with open arms. PARK AND BEACH Parking at the beach parking lot is restricted to residents and guests. Vehicles not having a village registration or a guest pass will be fine* and-or towed away at the owners expense. The water in the lake was treated for swimmers itch. Copper sulfate was spread in the swimming area to control this condition. The treatment was done by' the McCullom Lake Conservation club. We would like to remind people that the village or­ dinances prohibit people from fishing in the beach area. This is very dangerous as many times a hook is lost in the water and one of our children may be the one to step on it and be badly hurt. We would also like - to remind the people that there are litter cans in different areas of the beach. It would be appreciated if you would pick up your litter and put it in one of the containers as they are picked up every Monday and cleaned out. Remember, this is our beach and we would like to be proud of it. The picnic grove is being readied for the summer and the new fence has been installed It is a shame that the new chain and lock that was installed had to be stolen right after it was put on. There has been a new swing set put up for the younger children along with their other play yard equipment. t CONSERVATION CLUB The Conservation club meets every third Thursday. At­ tendance is very poor from this side of the lake. The lake requires a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Everyone's help and suggestions help to make the job a lot easier. Try to at­ tend these meetings and find out what is being done with your lake. BOAT LAUNCHING Last fall a notice was posted at the McCullom Lake boat launching site to please remove all boats by October 20. A two week grace was given and after this time some of the boats still remained. It was decided to remove these remaining boats until the owners claimed them. More than six months have passed and these boats are considered to be abandoned. They then become the property of the village and will be sold. Every effort will be made to contact the owners of these boats so that they may be< redeemed but this will be difficult as many of the boats do' not have identifying marks. * The following rules will be in effect for the 1976 boating year. 1. Boats must have a Illinois registration number and must be shown in an appropriate place on boat. Illinois boating laws apply on McCullom Lake. 2. All boats using the launch site must be registered with the village clerk. A fee will be charged for a registration number. This registration number will be placed on the outside front of the boat, along with the Illinois numbers. 3. McCullom Lake residents will be allowed no more than two boat permits. 4. Non-residents will not be issued a boat permit. 5. Fifteen boats will be allowed to be left at the launch site. Boats found at launch site not being recorded as having a permit will be towed away at the owners expense. No responsibility for theft or damage will be assumed by the village of McCullom Lake. 6. Boats more than 14 feet in length with more than 7 hor­ sepower will not be allowed on the lake. 7. There will be no parking on the launch site. A minimum time will be allowed to unload the equipment and return vehicle and trailer to parking lot. 8. All boats left at the launch site must be removed by Oc­ tober 31, 1976. After this date remaining boats will be removed by the village, at the owners expense. Signs have been posted along the parking lot restricting the parking of village residents and guests. Vehicles not having a McCullom Lake registration or a guest pass placed in the vehicle so as to be seen by an inspecting officer, will be in violation and be ticketed. Guest passes may be obtained at the village clerks office. There has been considerable damage over the winter months to the equipment at the park. The swing set was torn down, the picnic benches destroyed, park lights, lenses and bulbs were broken and had to be replaced many times. The funds appropriated from the taxes to maintin the park and beach ran out last November. Money is borrowed from other accounts for upkeep throughout the remainder of the year. INJURY At the time of this writing I am sure people have seen Cindy Cunningham walking around the village on her crutches. Cindy fell and cracked the bone in her foot. LADIES OF THE LAKE A White Elephant sale was enjoyed by the Ladies of the Lake at their May meeting and a big welcome back was given to member Mae Aubin. Among the ladies present was guest, Loretta Frye. And a big welcome to new members Lorraine Furlong and Judy Pendelton. Their White Elephant was a huge success and everything was sold. The June meeting was hobby nite for the ladies. Among the hobbies were jewelry, crocheting, knitting, and arts and crafts. A new member was taken into the club this month. She is Geneva Broviak. The Ladies of the Lake will not have a regular meeting in July, but will have a Bicentennial picnic which will be held on July 8. The picnic will be held at the home of Barb Reiter at 2917 Knollwood. Remember the date July 8 at 1 p.m. All members not present at the June meeting are asked to call Mrs. R.J. Reiter in regards to signing up for a dish to pass. The meeting this month was also attended by Mrs. Schoerder, our Civil Defense leader, who gave a talk on the up-coming Bicentennial doin­ gs to be held in the village. The meeting was ended, the next is scheduled to be held on Aug. 12. This meeting will feature a plant auction. BIRTHDAYS Belated birthday wishes go to the following people.
