V Si Regis 7-6 Winners, Take One Game Lead In 12" Softball Finals PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 24, John Neoharth "I'm going to be 88 in Detifember, and I'm not going as strong as I used to, but they all tell me I can't complain, so I'm not complaining." No, John Neuharth isn't doing any complaining, and for the contributions Mr. Neuharth made to the community, no one else is either. Mr. Neuharth had his hand in one of the most significant contributions to this com- munity-the development of McHenry hospital. Along with many others, he organized the hospital, and also served on the Hospital board for a period of time. He is also a man who lost everything he had during the depression, then rose up again to found a major financial institution in McHenry. Members of the Shepherd of the Hills church will recall that Mr, Neuharth was an usher there until very higiftpbei still MifflHrirff lodge meetings All in all, be says that "I've had a busy lilt, and I wanted it that way. I'm very happy with the fact that my life has been active." Concerning his hospital work, he says that "I was the financial manager. I kept the records straight, and turned the reports in to the board. After the hospital got going, I simply pulled out because my work with the Savings & Loan, combined with the hospital, was getting to be too much." An accountant by trade, Mr. Neuharth also holds a law degree, and taught for several years in South Dakota, before moving to Illinois. "I've been a Mason for sixty years," he says proudly. "I became a Mason because some fellas who were working with me in South Dakota were Masons, and they were nice guys. They asked me to join, and although I'd heard some bad things about them, I figured I'd join, and if it was such a bad organization, I*could quit." Needless to say, after sixty years, there is nothing wrong with the Masonic lodge. He belonged to the Blue Staff photo by Wayne Gaylord Story series by Jeff Boaato St Regis lost three straight to Rusty Nail during Hieregular season. With three innings to play in game one of the championship series St Regis was behind 3-0. Apparently three was the lucky number as St. Regis outscored their opponents 7-3 in the final three innings and went on to win 7-6. The win has St Regis one game to zero over Rusty Wail In the 1>eBt .of five series^ \ ' DEFENSE SHINES IN EARLY GOING Both teams threatened in the first Gary Connell led off for St. Regis in the top of the inning with his first of three base hits. George Cadotte was 19 next and he sent a shot down the left field line which should have gone for an easy double. However third baseman John Hiller made a sensational tumbling catch for the first out Hawk McQueeney singled to center but the throw to third from Greg Johnson nailed Connell in a very close play at third. DonPrazak grounded out to short to end the Regis first After one out Rusty Nail's Dave Sundby singled and wait to second as Gary Miller walked. Bill Huff, batting cleanup, forced Miller at second, Sundby taking third. That set up the second defenseive play 01 the game. Dennis Schmitt hit a sharp grounder up the middle. Shortstop Matt Oik made the diving stop and flipped to second to force Huff, ending the liming and saving a run. St. Regis went three up, three down in the second while Rusty Nail's brief threat in the same inning ended with a double play after two reached base. The third inning found Regis threatening again as Pete Smith* and Mike Conway both singled with one out. However Gary Cornell's hard grounder to the mound saw Huff force Smith at third. John Hiller took the throw and then fired to second where the runneiMiad overrun the base and Gary Miller put the tag on Conway for the third out. x NAIL TAKES LEAD Rusty Nail went on to score three runs in their half of the third. John Hiller rolled a grounder to the left side of the mound. The pitcher fumbled and then threw wildly to first Hiller winding up at Second base on the error. \ to first. Gary Connell singled in the last run of the inning and St Regis held a 4-3 lead. LEAD SEESAW8 The bottom half of the inning found Rusty Nail scoring two runs to retake the lead. John Hiller led off with a walk, advanced to second on Dave Sundby's single and then went to third onTa force play at second. Bill Huff's base hit tied the score and the throwing error permitted Gary Miller to score from first. It was Miller who forced Sundby at second on the play before. St. Regis came right back with two of their own as Hawk McQueeney led off with his second base hit of the game. Ray Thelen drew a walk Don Prazak forced McQueeney followed by Dave Sundby's but Irish DeCicco slammed a short single to right loading the single which got by a Rusty bases.

SMITH CONTINUES HITSTREAK Pete Smith led off for St Regis and hit his third single of the game, seventh hit in a row in the playoffs. Gary Connell reached base after one out as he hit a slow roller to the right of the mound. Everyone in the Nail infield crossed up on their signals as the first baseman, second baseman and pitcher each thought the other would make the play. Smith had taken third on the play and scored moments later on George Cadotte's sacrifice fly. Rusty Nail had the top of the order up but a pop out and two" ground outs to the pitcher ended the losers final chance in the seventh. ERRORS HURT BOTH SIDES The Nail was outhit in game one, thirteen to seven, although they had four base on balls to their credit. Errors were costly to both sides; mainly throwing errors on the part of St Regis, while Rusty Nail errors were in the form of outfield overruns and a dropped fly ball. In looking back at the box score had both teams played errorless ball the score would have been 3-1 St. Regis! Doubles: Sowers. Triples: none. Homeruns: none. Base on Balls: (by Huff) none; (by DeCicco) Thelen, Miller, Johnson, Hiller. Sacrifice flys: Cadotte, Oik, MiUer, Huff.

"Now, I tell these guys that they can do all the work, and I just go to the meetings and have fun. The other Masons are all willing to contribute." Besides being a Mason, Mr. _ Neuharth was also a Shriner (see picture), although he felt he didn't really contribute as a Shriner because it was too far to travel to attend all Jhe functions. Always known as someone who would lend encouragement to those less fortunate, he said that "I couldn't help but make - except for a baserunner getting - myself useful." 1 mhit by a batted ball to end the 7 R 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 13 H 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 27 Fox Hole Rallies In 6th Fox Hole scored 3 runs in the top of the 6th inning to break a ME, TOO.. .Harry McDonald, Jr., sea of Harry McDonald, Kingston, On­ tario, mimics stance af grownup counterpart Na- peleoa, Charles Anbrey. ̂ Scene was Cape Viacent, New York's Annual French Festival.

"Now, I'm no good for anything," he laughed. "Like I told the boys at the lodge, 'I'm getting old now, and I can't take the heavy work load anymore.' Now, the lodge members come here and pick me up, and take me to the meetings." .Turnabout, in this case, is fair play. For years, it was Mr. Usefulness runs 'lfi the " Neuharth household. His first wife, before she died, opened up a dress designing business during the 1930s to help the family out when Mr. Neuharth's accounting business ceased operating as a successful business. His present wife, as well as friends, take the time to drive Mr. Neuharth around, since he is no longer allowed to drive. It is this type of mutual assistance and desire to con­ tribute that has keyed Mr. Neuharth's life. As for his belief that at 88, he is no longer good for anything-- humbug Mr. Neuharth. file older you get, the better you get.
