Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 PAGE 23 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, lfNt Lily Lake Marine Life Under Study Harvey Brown, Marine biologist with the Illinois Department of Conservation,. Fisheries division, has made a study of the marine life in Lily Lake. On Thursday and Friday, June 21 and 22, Harvey was assisted by amateur Bruno Karas, as they set up trap nets and a gill net stretching from the shoreline to 250 feet into the lake, down to a depth of 15 feet. His boat is equipped with a generator and three metal rods, to which copper rods, which hang in the water, are attached. The electrical charge emitted shocks the fish, which are then picked up in dip nets and placed in the water tank in the boat. Thursday's catch was one lb., carp and one blue gill. Friday, found northern, perch, carp, punkin seed, and one channel cat. Thousands of flat nosed minnows were seen. Harvey was pleased that no golden roach minnows were found, as thev become fish too large for bass to feed on, and then take over the lake. A claim to fame for Lily Lake, is the variety of weeds growing in it. So far, sixteen species have been identified. We may not have too many fish, but Lily Lake excels in weeds which will be changed soon. ADD A YEAR TIME The June column did not have a birthday list. June 6 was Michael Eggert's day. Sam Sances, the dear friend with the green thumb and maker of Italian type beverage, celebrated June 7. Troy Foss, one of our favorite little leaguers, had his birthday June 11. June 13 was the special day for Frank Neeley, another young person of talent, this time artistic. Sorry to have missed your days. Missy Gray will be 11 on the twenty-fifth. Emma Kunz and Helmut Vornkahl will be older but wiser on the twenty- seventh. Andre Yerkes will h&ve his fifteenth birthday on June<IW3uIjrstarts with Si bang with four birthday celebrations: Sonny Withrow; Diana Pickett, one of the story readers for pre-schoolers on Tuesday afternoons at the library; Carolyn Rasmussen, active in Lilymoor association and treasurer of the McHenry Nunda library board of trustees; and Kathleen Kelley, who is active in the Lakemoor village and the Lily Lake Conservation club. Shirley Hager €telebrates July 2 as does Violet Nixon, who will be starting legal adulthood. July 3 is shared by Carol Sch­ midt, former village clerk of Lakemoor, and Chad Hueckstaedt, Nancy and Dutch's son. Anniversary time. June 24 was the special day for Marion and Helmut Vornkahl, who will celebrate their nineteenth year of marrfage. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Pierce will be starting their thirty-fourth year together on June 27. Isabel and Willard's commitment to Christ, love of each other and their neighbors, have given us all a deeper insight into the meaning of marriage today. So happy to wish health and love to all our neighbors. GENEOLOGY NOTES Edith Blake has been sear­ ching the Wilfred Blake family tree, and is now back to the fifth generation on both sides of the family. She will have even more time to devote to this study, and to all her other crafts, after grandson Christopher leaves for his new home in Hampshire, when his father Ronnie remarries on Saturday. This will be the first time in 40 years that Edith and Wilfred have had a childless home. It will be quiet, but not lonesome, as all the eight Blake children come home for visits regularly with their families. Now Wilfred and Edith will have time to put their own family tree down on paper. SPECIAL MEETING The village, of Lakemoor granted permission to the Lily Lake Conservation Club, Inc., to hold a special informative meeting at the municipal building on June 21. Village officials were present to hear the explanation of the in­ surance required for the dredging of Lily Lake. Norman Morrison presented a draft of an agreement to be worked out with the owner of the dredge, Fritzsche In­ dustrial Park, and the owner of the property where the spoils from the lake will be deposited until that area is filled. Qualified members of the L.L.C.C.I. are now needed to operate the dredge. Jerry Weber and Dale Rasmussen are scheduling the workers, and your assistance is needed. What better way to spend a few hours free time, than aboard the Lily Lake Love Boat, (aka the baby blue dredge), returning a once beautiful lake to its original use? Call 344-1955 to arrange for your con­ servation time, and watch the results of your work. SIDE EFFECTS Young Thaddeus Rice, who has had his leg in a cast since breaking it on May 19, is now getting around well with splints. The problem started when he fell off a slide while his brother, Tim was playing with the Pirates, a mini-league baseball team. Grandmother Margaret Youngs has been giving Thad the extra care needed during his recuperation. FOSTER PARENS The Gurske family of Lilymoor has always enjoyed all kinds *of animals. They are now awaiting the birth of kit­ tens. A white cat with one blue eye and one green eye adopted them a few weeks ago, and will very soon be presenting them with a brand new family. "Princess Positive" is not too well liked by the Gurske's resident black cat, "Negative". This combination should really give off a few sparks. Skip, Mitzie, and their two sons, Anthony and Robert, are working with "Helping Paws". They will keep stray animals until homes can be found for them. As this household has always been a haven for pets of all kinds, the animals will be well cared for and enjoyed. COMMUNITY CALENDAR June 28--Lakemoor village meeting, 8 p.m.--municipal hall.

She is now in England for a summer quarter with the Wheaton college group. She will be there for two months of intensive study of literature. Maribeth was originally scheduled for takeoff Tuesday, June 19, but the DC 10's were still grounded, so other arrangements had to be made.. It was quite upsetting to have to miss the first day's field trip to Canterbury, which she had been looking forward to. Also, this meant one more day before a reunion with another VIP, Chris Goetschel, with the Air Force in London. Have a wonderful trip, dear number 2 daughter. Knowing you are under the loving protection of our Lord, leaves us with no concern-just wishing we could be th£re, too.

Septic System Evaluations (by the McHenry County Department of Health) One of the major activities of the McHenry County Depart­ ment of Health is evaluation of existing septic systems-either for prospective home buyers or when trouble is suspected. Anyone buying a home with a VA or FHA mortgage will have to have the septic system checked. Home buyers can have tests done by the Health department for a fee. Inspectors check the inside of the tank to determine its condition and to estimate the amount of settled solids. If solids are too close to the outlet, the chance increases that solids will bypass the baffle, flowing into the seepage field and clogging it. Next, an inspector will put fluorescein dye into the system, and drain a bathtub full of water into the system. A return trip the following day will tell if everything is working as it should. If the lawn has an eerie green glow, it's not This means that, instead of filtering down into the earth as it would in a properly functioning septic field, the dye-carrying water has risen to the surface. The Health department sends a letter to the person or com­ pany requesting the evaluation stating its findings-whether the system worked properly or not. However, the Department c a n n o t g u a r a n t e e t h a t a n y s y s t e m w i l l f u n c t i o n i n ­ definitely or estimate how long it will continue to function properly, but can only state what was found when the evaluation was done. Septic systems should last 15- 20 years-if they are properly maintained. Most will require cleaning every two to three years, or whenever the settled solids are within 21 inches of the outlet, or the top scum layer deeper than four inches. This will insure that the tank isn't receiving solids faster than jt can decompose what's already there. Septic owners should also be careful of what they put into (hem These systems were never meant to handfe disposable diapers, cigarette^ sanitary napkins or rags. These materials do not decompose readily in a septic tank and will cause the system to fajl prematurely. The more solidg that are present in the septic tank, the greater is the dangefer of solid build-up and clogging ifi the field The Times Taxes are higher.'; Mortgages are higher.!; Fuel prices are higher.!; Verily, in these times a!; man's home is his hassle.!; -Changing Times.!; WED.
