Lakemoor-Lilymoor Area Margaret Karas 385-4934 Be Counted! In an effort to encourage everyone to be counted in the 1980 census, President Richard J. Hyatt of the Village of Lakemoor, has appointed a special Com­ plete Count committee, made up of three residents. Thfc chairperson of the committee is Pacita Morrison, with Othele Brady and Kathleen Kelley, members. "The success of the 1980 census count in Lakemoor is v i t a l l y i m p o r t a n t " , President Hyatt said. "Not only does our community's political representation in the U.S. Congress and in the State Legislature rest on census population totals, but large amounts of federal and state funds are returned to Lakemoor each year based on census statistics. "For example, we have received $5,150 in Federal Revenue Sharing funds, based on census allocation for 1979-80. If everyone is not counted, it means ;^our community will be short­ changed and we will not receive our fair share of these tax funds which come from our residents in the first place '. Census questionnaires will be delivered to each household Friday, March 28. Householders are requested to answer questions and mail them back in the enclosed preaddressed envelopes by Tuesday, April l. If the envelope is not provided, householders are asked to complete the questionnaire and keep it until a census worker visits to pick it up. Chairperson Morrison said committee members will be mailing letters to residents and preparing and posting posters to be placed in the area to endorse public cooperation with the census. The Complete Count committee will remain active until July 1, in order to complete late returns on the census program. Temporary office for the committee is in the village c l e r k ' s o f f i c e i n t h e Municipal building Anyone interested in workfng with the committee is invited to contact Mrs Morrison at the village hall . Monday evenings, 6 to 9 p.m. or call 385-1117. KINDERGARTEN All children who will be five years old by Dec. 1, are required to be registered for kindergarten classes.

YOUTH HONORS Parkland School chorus and band spent Saturday, March 8 at the Round Lake high school in competition with other Junior high schools. Among band players who received a second place rating, were Stephen Mumma, John Nixon, Beth Baker, Donovan Brizzi. Mike Milinac and Suzy Wipper. Chorus took a first place, with Suzy and Debbie Vornkahl among our representatives. Wrestling team members and cheei eaders from McHenry higi school, spent the weekend i t, ently at the high school matches held in Champaign. The students paid their own expenses. Our wrestlers did not win any meets, even with Colette Wipper, one of the cheerleaders, voicing her encouragement. Colette was very impressed by the awards service, with the huge assembly hall in complete darkness, except for lights shining on the strong young athletes as they received recognition for the long hours of practice and pain they had all en­ dured. GET WELLS Brian Blake is managing well with a collarbone brace and a right arm sling. The accident occurred when Brian was sledding three weeks ago. The doctor is very pleased with the healing of the collarbone, so the brace will be off in a few days. J i m H a y e s i s w a l k i n g around with a collar on his neck, and not just to keep it warm. His car was totaled as the result of a rear-end accident March 8. It could have resulted in very serious injury for Jim; thankfully, he is up and around, even though bruised and collared. POLICE DEPARTMENT?

PRIZE PIGEONS Tom Berkowski is a high school student whose hobby is breeding, developing and showing pigeons. Tom became interested several years ago, when a pigeon fancier from Buffalo Grove spent hours with him, ex­ plaining and showing the raising and fun of pigeons. Last year, Tom entered pigeon shows in Oregon and Kankakee, 111., Beaver Dam, Wis., and St. Paul, Minn. His awards included Champion Fantail Blue, O.H.; Y.C. Best Powder Blue; Best J.R. Roller; and Best Sporting. He is looking forward to shows this season starting with Oregon and climaxing with the largest pigeon show in the country, in Louisville, Ky. Tom is very willing to share his knowledge with other young people. He has found that pigeons are a lot of work, as anything of value is, but the raising and showing of these beautiful birds gives a great deal of pleasure. Plus; Tom will be earning enough money for college, by selling Bald Head Rollers, Frill Backs, Fan- tails and Palor Tumblers, aH- pet and show breeds. He also raises runts for table use.? Interested in a fascinating hobby? Tom will be happy to get you started in a pigeon project. LAS VEGAS TIME Peggy and Bill Hen- dricksen, Vickie and John DeStefanis, friend John Bauer and another couple, had a real vacation of seven exciting days in Las Vegas. The weather was coatless, (in the 70's) the en­ tertainment was great, and the games were the same. Vickie and the two Johns were especially happy with the games, as they helped defray expenses. Boulder Dam was examined by Bill and the Johns. Another day, the group went to Oatman, Ariz., to pet the donkeys that are used in the mines. More scenery was viewed and appreciated enroute to Kingman and back. Peggy has been in Vegas a number of items, but this is the first seven day visit. She has decided that is the way to go, as she came back relaxed and rested. One evening she shut her eyes for a short nap, and didn't waken until 4 a.m.! Knowing there were more days and nights, she didn't feel as if she had missed too much. „ The most serious problem faced, was when senior citizen John, couldn't find lost Vickie and her John at tfie airport. The rest of the group left, with the three taking a later plane back to • O'Hare. Now everyone is back to the old routine, telling tall tales to envious listeners about seven ex­ citing days. VALUES Visiting the Auto Show at McCormick Place with vehicles above $80,000, and ,the Boat Show at Arlington Park hall, with boats over $35,000, and seeing a clothes ad in the daily newspaper offering a short strapless . dress for $1,565, leaves one completely overwhelmed and confused. Such exhibitions of wealth, inviting all to join the "play now, pay later or not-at-all" group, makes thinking of people actually starving in this world, indecent. Is this life just to see what "I" can accumulate? There must be a more worthwhile value. COMMUNITY CALENDAR March 19. Lily Lake conservation Club, Inc., open meeting.

MARCH 19.1980 Graduation Changes Announced At MCHS EMERGENCY SERVICES MONTH March has been declared Emergency Services and Preparedness Month in Illinois by Gov. James R. Thompson. In 1979, Illinois experienced more than $100 million in private and public damages due to snow and flooding. The Illinois emergency Services and Disaster agency coordinated the state response effort to more than 1,500 reported incidents, 500 of which.in­ volved hazardous materials. Thompson cited the Illinois emergency Services and Disaster Preparedness Program as a national leader and commended the 80,000 volunteers and 650 local government coor­ dinators who helped to en­ sure our safety during times of disaster. A special graduation committee consisting of administrators, class sponsors, and class officers met during the school year to review the end of the year activities. They developed a plan with some significant changes from what has been traditionally practiced over the past years. The following is a brief overview of the planned g r a d u a t i o n - r e l a t e d a c ­ tivities: The week of May 12, an invitational dinner spon­ sored by the board of education will be held to honor the top academic seniors, National Merit Scholars, and Illinois State Scholars. Parents are welcome to attend. Senior class examinations will take place May 23. On May 27, freshman, sophomore, and junior examinations will take place. Seniors will attend a breakfast in the West campus cafeteria. * An awards presentation will take place in the West c a m p u s a u d i t o r i u m a f t e r breakfast. This will replace the Tribute as it was held traditionally. Again, parents and interested community members are invited to attend. The seniors will take part in graduation exercise practice at McCracken field following the awards presentation. May 28 is the last day of school with make-up examinations for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Graduation exercises will be held that evening at M c C r a c k e n f i e l d . I f i n ­ clement weather exists, the ceremony will be held in the West campus gymnasium. Frozen steaks and chops re­ quire up to one and a half times as long to broil as un­ frozen meat. Frozen meats should be placed at least 4 inches from the source of heat to prevent overbrowning. 1 TAX ' Preparation Make Sure You Pay The Lowest Legal Tax CALL (815)385-4410 Paul A.
