TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 20. 1967) McHenry welcomed a new varsity football coach at M.C.H.S. this week in the person of Bill Day, but not before a lengthy, excitement- packed meeting of the school boarcl Tuesday night, highlighted by a vocal protest of another coaching decision. Cathy Bolger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bolger, has been selected to represent McHenry's American Legion Auxiliary Unit 491 at Illini Girls State in Jacksonville, 111., this summer. Runner-up for the honor was Candy Fossum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Fossum of Ringwood. A property owners petition for annexation to the city of McHenry was approved at the regular Council meeting Monday night. The petition covers small areas of Lillian street, Crestwood drive and Crystal Lake road. The an­ nexation will clear the long standing problem of main­ tenance of Lillian street just off Crystal Lake road. No governing body claimed the road and the deep holes grew worse each year. The city will now extend a water main along the street and across Crystal Lake road. The subdividers of the area will then make further extensions, particularly to the site of the new high school. Property annexed will have city water and sewer lines available for hookups. Instant Replay Enhance rustic feeling of a room with natural-look rugs The natural look is "in" with everything from the way you dress and look to the way you decorate your home and prepare your f o o d . R u s t i c , c o u n t r y kitchens with home-baked bread seem to be as popu­ lar in New York City as on a Vermont farm. Along with the grand "return to nature" is a longing for heritage and tradition. Arts and crafts ring with ethnic flavor. The needlework, long ago abandoned by our grand­ mothers and aunts, has suddenly reappeared with patterns reminiscent of p e a s a n t b a c k g r o u n d s . Even the colors are "nat­ ural" and speak of the rich earth. Brown, gold, "peas­ ant blue," rust, green, and a spirited terracotta en­ hance the motifs of a sim­ pler way of life. If you long for a "heri­ tage home" of your own, b u t y o u r g r e a t - g r e a t grandmother didn't leave you any 300-year-old heir­ looms, how do you begin? Let's start with the eat-in kitchen. First, there are the es­ sentials: a table--possibly with a butcher block top, and the chairs. In the cor­ ner, a clear wood etagere to hold such "rustic" ac­ cessories as a ceramic jar, mugs, dishes, lots of plants and a wooden wine rack. With the proper amount of ambition, you can panel the walls in rough-tex­ tured pine "crate" wood, and hang a few copper pots and pans to add to the country feeling. For the heirloom-look, what about an area rug with stylized peasant mo­ tifs that is an authentic design from a circa 16th- 18th century Scandinavian "rollakan" or wall hang­ ing? A rug from Ege Rya's new 100% wool Heritage Collection would be perfect. Woven in Denmark, the patterns are naive and charming, filled with whimsical ladies, stylized birds, roosters, plants, flow­ ers, and animals. There is even an 18th-century wed­ ding scene. Reproductions are faith­ ful, including in many such details as the date in which the original was woven and the initials of A RUSTIC KITCHEN pane-led in rough textured pine "crate" wood is warmed up with "Jelling" a whimsical rug from Ege Rya's new 100% wool Heritage Collection. Styl­ ized peasant motifs that enhance the country atmosphere are authentic designs from a circa 16th- 18th century Scan­ dinavian wall-hanging. Clear wood furnishings as well as the earth-toned rug colors create a sense of back-to-essen- tials characteristic of the current "naturals" style. its maker, as well as all the charming little weaving mistakes. And the color combinations are just right. These stylized peasant motif rugs enhance the country atmosphere in any room, and you'll almost be­ lieve your great-great grandmother really did leave you a 300-year-old priceless possession!
