STAFF EflOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD eciaI Olympics Program Needs Financial Help The Special Olympics program was developed to give special children a chance to belong and to make a contribution. Since the Special Education District of McHenry County (SEDOM) is no longer sponsoring Special Olympics for their students, a parents committee has been formed to help raise funds and promote Special Olympics in McHenry County. They are seeking donations for fun­ ding Special Olympics from o r g a n i z a t i o n s a n d businesses throughout McHenry County. They would especially like to see more SEDOM students become invdlved in this exciting experience. Special Olympics is open to any child with an I.Q. of 75 or below • and 8 years of age or older. Basketball, track and field, swimming and bowling are some of the activities offered through Special Olympics. Students in McHenry County Special Education programs should receive training in their local schools. They will then compete in the Northeastern Illinois Special Olympic qualifying round. Gold medal winners then represent their district at the state meet. In 1979 over 2,000 participants were involved in the State Special Olym­ pics held at Illinois State University in Normal. For those who participate, it is a time for hard work, recognition and pride in their accomplishments., It develops confidence and self-esteem not only among Special Olympic athletes but in parents, brothers and sisters, friends aryj neigh­ bors. To quote Eunice Kennedy Shriver, creator and founder of the Special Olympics, "The mentally retarded are the lonesome ends of our society. At home, in school, in the community, they are always near the sidelines. Watching the action. Never allowed in the huddle. "Sadly the ball is never thrown to them, even though, with great willingness, they are ready to do their best. Simply because society regards them as different,- the mentally retarded have been traditionally kept out of the game." "The Special Olympics program was developed to give these 'lonesome ends' a chance to belong and to make a contribution." In Special Olympics everybody wins. Any organization wishing to contribute to the McHenry County Special Olympics program may make checks payable to SERPO of S E D O M S P E C I A L OLYMPICS FUND and mail them to Charles Boss, 71 Gail Court, Crystal Lake, 111., 60014.

Dale Marzano, at the Just For Fun Roller Rink. By Randy Swikle The Johnsburg Skyhawks ended their 1979 football season losing a close 26-18 contest to the South Beloit SoBos Saturday afternoon on the Skyhawk field. The loss put the Skyhawks at the bottom of the Shark Con­ ference and gave the club a 1-8 season record. , • Johnsburg owned the first -half momentum, scoring all three of its touchdowns in that time period. - The first score of the game was made by senior running ace Brian Roberts on a one yard carry with 2:40 remaining in the first quarter. Roberts set up the touchdown himself on a brilliant 64 yard run deep into SoBo territory. The extra point kick was un­ successful . Johnsburg's top receiver, Chris Dixon, snatched a 25 yard pass in the end zone from quarterback Scott Valentin to add six more points to the Johnsburg side of the scoreboard. It was senior lineman Ken Gaylord who helped to set up the touchdown by recovering a SoBo fumble with 5:30 remaining in the second quarter. The extra point kick was no good. Rick Szumlas scored Johnsburg's final touchdown on a 10 yard carry with 2:06 left in the half. Szumlas carried the ball 12 times during the game for a total of 41 yards. The extra point attempt failed. The SoBos scored in the second quarter on a four yard run, and they were successful in an extra point kick. The half time score was 18-7 in favor of the Skyhawks. The SoBos, taking ad­ vantage of a Skyhawk fumble, scored early in the third quarter on a four yard carry. The extra point at­ tempt was no good. Three consecutive Skyhawk penalties (two off­ sides and a face mask violation) gave the SoBos a first down and another fine scoring opportunity late in the quarter. South Beloit brought the ball a few yards into the end zone and recovered their own fumble for the touchdown. There were five seconds left in the third quarter. The extra point was good and the SoBos took a 20-18 lead. The final South Beloit touchdown came on a one yard run with 4:58 remaining in the game. The extra point was no good. Johnsburg gained a total of 143 yards on 35 carries. Roberts carried the ball 18 times for 120 yards. Valentin was 12-17 on passing for 95 yards, and Chris Dixon tossed one 25 yard pass. Dixon caught eight passes for a total of 74 yards and one touchdown. « South Beloit advanced the ball 183 yards on 46 carries and was 3-15 in the passing department. Dixon and Bill Hovseth each intercepted SoBo passes. Coach Praises Seniors "I really feel for the seniors", said Johnsburg Coach Mike Heimerdinger following the game. "We've gone through two years of building our football program, and they're the base of our program. We'll win next year partially because these guys took lumps for two years while we were building." Heimerdinger pointed out the fine performances by several of the senior members of his ball club. "Ken Gaylord blocked a punt, recovered a fumble, and played a real good game,"- the coach noted. "Ken has improved throughout the season". Doug Free, who was Voted captain by his teammates, has been one of few con­ sistent stars for the Skyhawks this season. Heimerdinger praised the versatility. "Doug has played five different defensive positions during the ^ear. Whenever ne needed someone we put Free there, and he did the job for us. Doug and Mark Fluger did a great job with key blocks and dives during the game." r " "Dixon played another . excellent game", the coach continued. "He had a great catch for the TD, a fine in­ terception, and he caught eight passes and threw a 25 yard one." Bill Hovseth, who missed part of the season because of an injury, was commended for his fine defensive effort. "Bill hit well throughout the game and never got beat running deep. Lee Carpenter has done a great job as guard during the last three ball games. He has been very consistent. Roberts ran well and had many gains." Heimerdinger noted how senior Rick Szumlas would consistently bounce back from hard hits during the game. "On one play Rick caught a pass on the flat and two guys hit him. knocking him back three yards as soon as he caught the ball. But Rick kept on running and got a one yard gain before he was hit hard again. I didn't think he was going to get up, but he bounced right out of the pile ready for the next play"-. The coach cautioned that he didn't have any excuses for the loss, but he did lament over players who have been sidelined during the season. "Injuries hurt us. You can't lose a Kurt Valentin and Rick Shiman and get your best defensive action". "I just hope the players had some fun and that it was a rewarding experience for them even though we didn't win".
