Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aide 344-1984 McHenry Shores Annual Picnic Slated August 21 The Shoreline club invites you to their annual picnic on Saturday, Aug. 21, at the beach. There will be games galore as well as puppet shows for the children of all ages. If you buy tickets before the day of the picnic at the village hall or from any of the girls mentioned in the flyer, they will be at less cost (plus one covered dish per family) and enable the Shoreliners to plan ahead.'After all, we don't want anyone to go away hungry, do we? Sliced beef will be served and you'll have your choice bet­ ween barbecued and Italian style. So, please plan on coming with the whole family! If it rains, the picnic will be held on Sunday, Aug. 2?. After the picnic, please stay for the Bicentennial street dance, sponsored by the village of McHenry Shores. A band will play at the beach and even if you don't intend to dance, come and listen! Maybe you'll change your mind once you hear the sprightly music. But since there will be no parking spaces, please get in a little exercise as well and walk to the affair! See you all at the picnic and street dance! YOUTH ACTIVITIES PROGRAM The new McHenry Shores sports program started Monday last week with a bang. After weeks of almost too perfect weather (oh, our thirsty lawns and gardens! )the first two nights of ball games were rained out. About seventy people signed up at the village hall for various activities, some of them for several And if you haven't registered yet, please think about all the fun you can have playing volleyball or softball right along with your children. ,> Or you can send the kids to the beach or the ball diamond for their favorite sports, ac­ cording to the schedule you received a little while ago. And for the real little ones remember the Storybook hour, the puppet shows and games. Isn't it nice to have something for everybody to do right here in the village? SHORELINE WAVES At the last meeting of the Shoreline club most of the attention centered on the picnic on which I reported before and on the bazaar. There will be a special meeting of the bazaar committee on Aug. 1. So, if you have any cute ideas for items for the bazaar, please drop them off before that date at the village hall, leaving your name and phone number so that the committee can contact you. Remember, the Shoreline club works for all of us by donating half of their profits to the village for recreational expenses. For instance, the Youth Activities program bought all their equipment with the money donated by the Shoreliners. But in order to help the people of the village even more, the club needs your help, too! BOWLING LEAGUE The McHenry Shores bowling league is now adding new people to their numbers. If you are interested in bowling Friday morning at 9:30, please contact the secretary of the league at 385-4517. NEW RESIDENT There is a new resident in the village. Richard Anthony joined the Panerali family on July 19. He weighed 7 lbs., 6 oz., and was 21 inches long. Two sisters as Well as the proud parents, Bonnie and Richard, are the welcoming commiteee. Good luck to all of you! - VILLAGE BUSINESS On the day of a meeting of the board of trustees, the agenda for that meeting will be posted in' the window of the village hall. The chairman for Public Health and Safety requests that all bikes that are out after dark have safety reflectors and lights. Please, parents, this is for you kids' protection! Too much has happened to cicyclists lately that such warnings should not be ignored. And here is another plea to keep your garbage cans tightly closed in order to discourage a growing number of skunks in the area. BOARD MEETING NEWS Following is a report by Judy LaFrancis on the meeting of the board of trustees of the village of McHenry Shores July 21. Never a dull moment! Eleven residents plus the board members were in attendance at the bimonthly meeting of the village board of McHenry Shores where the following events took place: The annual tax levy was passed, Ordinance No. 53; approval was given for the second appraisal of the property for the Creekside park; the ditching project on Hilltop and Bull Valley is tentatively planned to begin in September pending the receipt of insurance papers from the contractor; and several residents offered their assistance in obtaining ad­ ditional information on the purchase of a radio system for the Police department. When the meeting was opened to the floor, Mr. Gilliland responded to the letters which he received in conjunction with his pool vioations. Mr. Gilliland stated that after three years' use his pool had become the subject of controversy over placement and lack of proper fencing. He further disapproved the adherence to ordinances which were not in effect when his pool was erected. The board responded that Health and Safety ordinances were always retroactive. Mr. Gilliland made several valid statements regarding the type of fencing to be constructed. After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Gilliland agreed to lower the depth of his pool, obtain a permit for the construct" of a fence, desist in the use Of his pool, and draw up a suitable plan for the relocation of his pool on his property. It appeared that all parties were in agreement as to the outcome of this "heated con­ troversy". The "new" swim­ ming pool ordinance is still in committee; therefore, it was determined that Mr. Gilliland's pool is subject to the State BOCA Codes concerning pool placement and construction. The next board meeting is Aug. 4. Mark your calendars. This is your village; your opinions count; let them be known. BIRTHDAYS Fred Heald, Linda Kurowski, and Joyce Pinkonsly had a birthday on July 25. Today is Donna Gunder's birthday.

SMOKIES TRIP My family including our visitors from Germany, my mother, brother and sister-in- law, took a lovely trip through Kentucky and Tennessee, centering mostly in the Great Smoky mountains. On the way there, we were impressed by Mammoth cave which is quite unbelievable. Rock City was also very ex­ citing with beautiful rock gardens where nature is enhanced by man's ingenuity. And in the Smokies, if you know rhododendron only as a small garden bush, which has to be pampered, it is an ex­ perience to see them as trees there, blooming profusely in the middle of the forest. All in all, we had a great time.

For awhile I have been aware of insulting rumors spread by people who don't even* know me. Since not one of them ever had the courage to say anything to my face and since normally I would not use this column to air my personal grievances, I never defended myself even though I deeply resented the slur on my character. But I will not give up this job without stressing the true facts. Although I am indebted to Rose Lillegard for helping me in any way she could out of her own experience as a columnist, she never dictated to me in any way what to write and what not to write. As to the most recent criticism that the public does not get enough information about the board meetings, I again would have preferred a direct confrontation so that I could have given my reasons for reporting to you from the minutes instead of attending the meetings personally, since I was not given that opportunity I deemec^it practical to ask Judy LaFrancis who volunteered to report directly from the board meetings to you and to wHte the rest of the coluumn, too, starting next week. The past year of writing for you, talking to and meeting some of you has been very rewarding. Please be as nice to Judy as you have been to me. I know you will enjoy her column very much. Goodbye again. Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt 385-5689 iCTttCATlONAL I Col lege Honors I Fellowship To Scott - Johnson Scott D.

SHOWING OF^ That's what the Mumma family did recently on their trip to Pennsylvania. They left here with the intentions of showing off their new daughter to all the relatives and friends "back home." Dick's sister and brother-in- law, Ruth and John Wilt, put them up for five days. From there they visited other relatives and friends, about fifty in all, had meals with many of them and visited with others. Dick came from a large family and while there, Stephen, Chris and Scott were able to get in some swimming^ and minibike riding while Missy was being held and loved by all. She received many gifts including money. It was reported by Cherie to have been a very hectic but enjoyable five days and they arrived home bone-weary but happy to have had the op­ portunity to show off their new daughter. BELATED BIRTHDAY It seems that I left out one birthday last week. On the twenty-third of July, Virginia Eggert added one more year on to those already stacked up. Happy Birthday, Virg. BIRTHDAYS Best wishes to those ending July with their birthdays and to those who will begin August with theirs. On the twenty - ninth, Nancy Stockwell and Marilyn Jones share that date to celebrate. Heather Hager will become one year older on the first and on the fourth, Charles (Dutch) Hueckstaedt will be celebrating his big day. I sincerely hope each of you have a very happy birthday. ANNIVERSARY On July 30, Sue and Tom Reese will be celebrating fifteen years of married life. Here's hoping each year will become better and more fun lat the past ones. WEDNESDAY. JULY 28. 1976 was the marker tor a teenage boy that had died in 1886. By calling the Historical society, she found that the boy had been a member of one of the first white families who had settled in the area. The Society was very happy with its return. As soon as the old cemetery has had all the other headstones straightened up and set up after years of gradual tilting from earth movement, the young boy's stone will be set in its rightful place. It makes a person wonder what sort of a kick someone would get out of taking a headstone out of a cemetery or just vandalizing a cemetery to the extent of smashing them up. TIL NEXT TIME SUMMER MUSICAL PM&L's summer musical, "The Pajama Game," will have its first performance Friday night, July 30, at the PM&L theater, 877 Main street in Antioch. Of the five sub­ sequent performances, two will be later this weekend, Satur­ day, July 31, and Sunday, Aug. 1, and the remaining three are set for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of next weekend, Aug. 6, 7 and 8. The curtain time for all of these shows is 8;$) p.m. SLJL COOLING OFF...Sum­ mertime weather is fun time for pretty Melinda Bern­ stein, who enjoys the cool spray of the blue Atlantic at Miami Beach.
