I Lakeland Park & Lakeland Shores Carol Cominsky 385-7246 1 Sweet Treats For Spring Feel LOSS Of \ . Area Resident The residents of Lakeland Park and all of McHenry lost a beloved neighbor March 10, when Clyde Blackwell passed away. We only lived here a few months when Clyde ap­ proached Jami and me in one of the stores and in­ troduced us to the little friends he always carried in his pocket Our first thought was what a strange man; we weren't used to such friendly people stopping us on the street. - t After that first meeting we were hooked and found ourselves keeping an eye out for Mr. Blackwell whenever we were in town. When we learned he was in the hospital we hoped for the best, that he would get well and be back again bringing some joy into other people's lives that he did so well. We are sure going to miss our delightful "puppet man", may he rest in peace. NEW BABY After dealing with a death, we are happy to announce the birth of a new baby in Lakeland Park. Steven and Cynthia King named their first born Michelle Anna. The infant arrived Feb. 28, in McHenry hospital weighing 6 lbs., 6 oz. We send our congratulations to you on your blessed event. GIRL SCOUTS Our Girl Scout Troop 320 had a fantastic time in Elgin, March 7, when they en­ tertained the public with a dance number for Sybaquay Way. At last week's meeting the girls planted tomato seeds in little containers to put in their vegetable gar­ dens this Spring. They also worked on their service project that will be used at Hopi Neighborhood's Fun Fair March 27. This week's meeting was a field trip to a local dance studio. They enjoyed seeing many theatrical costumes and learned how to apply the makeup. This adventure helped them towards ear­ ning another badge. , BIRTHDAY GIRL " Jami Lynn Cominsky is the last of Joel's, and my kids to have a birthday this year. She turned seven years old Saturday, March 13. Her best friend Kristy Gardner came early that day to help her celebrate. Later that day two more school friends, Joyce and Jessica and former neighbor Carol Lacbel arrived for the big party. The afternoon was spent playing games and enjoying the usual cake and ice cream. On Sunday, grandma and grandpa Cserep came bearing gifts and they stayed until aunt Cathy and uncle John Koscher arrived with cousins, Annette, Scott and Joey so we could have another cake and ice cream. The following Tuesday, aunt Sherry and uncle Elroy Flicek came before Jami left for school to give her a beautiful music box to add to her collection. Jami said this was her best birthday ever but she says that every year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY March 24 is the day we send greetings to Michael Linnane and Renee Nickels. Elizabeth Ann Johnson will be 10 years old March 25; and she shares her .day with Steve George, John Mueller and Ann Dawson. Best wishes go to John Licastro Sr. on the 27th. Christine Tiffany, Greg Baotas and A1 De Millier hear the birthday song March 28. A big happy birth­ day goes to Tad Fountaine March 29. The 30th is the day Dorothy Belshaw and Viola Kelly will celebrate. SPRING IS HERE I saw my first robin early this morning, March 18 and tomorrow the temperature is supposed to hit 60 degrees. We even notice some tiny buds on the tree in the front yard. Could this mean Spring is finally here? ASSOCIATION NEWS The LLPPOA had a quorum at the annual general meeting held March 18. Many people enjoyed the cake and coffee provided by the association and many comments were made about the beauty of the community house since the remodeling. There was a discussion on garbage and dissolution of the association. New officers on the board are Lois Kasper, Frank Sweeney and Sharon Schoen. After the association business was completed Pete Kasper, president of the Conservation club, told about rebuilding of the dredge. It is now ready to go. They are planning to build berms on West Beach and dredge the West Beach of Lakeland Park. Pete says three volunteers are needed to run the dredge, and all must be "capable of working it. They would like to hire someone but due to lack of funds they have to rely on volunteer help. There was 14 cubic yards of dead fish from the winter kill but still plenty of fish on the west end of the lake. Dog Show April 3-4 The forty-second annual International Kennel club dog show will attract an estimated 2,500 canine aristocrats from 130 breeds at the International Am­ phitheatre April 3 and 4.

Sporting, Hound, and Toy breeds will be judged Saturday, April 3, with the Working, Terrier, and Non-Sporting breeds Sunday, April 4. A slate of 21 judges from 9 states and Venezuela will select the tops of each breed. Inject Humor In Concert A cappella vocals and humor are interspersed into the performances of Jeff Grosser who performs Thursday, March 25, at McHenry County college.

MlUar-PuWIehar >MiMaii.^airy mi •V- f > A ' ye Adele Froahllch-EdHoc mm NATIONAL NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION SUBSCMPTKM RATIS As winter give way to spring, Illinois travelers have a sweet treat in store. Maple syrup processing operations around Illinois are offering demonstrations, samples and outdoor pan­ cake breakfasts. The maple syrup harvests - which began in mid- February and run through the first weekend of April - are just another example of the diversity of the state's economic development effort called Illinois, Inc. "These homespun events, which offer Illinoisans and other travelers the chance to see a little-known side of the state, tie in perfectly with the Illinois, Inc. theme which is, simply, that Illinois is a good place to work and live," said Lynda Simon who heads Tourism in the Department of Commerce and Com­ munity Affairs (DCCA). Sap from American sugar maple trees begins flowing at Lincoln Memorial Gar­ dens and Nature Center, 2301 E. Lake drive, Springfield, long before February's snows have melted. Ac­ cording to Wayne Schimpff, naturalist at the gardens, as longer, warmer days follow nights with below freezing temperatures, a sugary liquid rises to nourish maple tree buds that will later become flowers and leaves. It is the seaaon's first surge of maple sap that has the highest sugar content and marks the beginning of the short six-week tapping season. Once the sap has begun to rise, spiles or sprouts are inserted into trees and milk jugs are hung to catch the golden substance later boiled-down over fires. Between 35 and 50 gallons of unrefined sap are needed to produce a single gallon of maple syrup. For more information, call 217-529-1111. At Funk's Grove off 1-55 just south of Bloomington, the sugaring process is more streamlined. A power tapper made from a converted chainsaw allows more taps to be made in a day and buckets with metal lids replace milk jugs. A tractor-drawn gathering tank is used to collect the sap, brought to a sap house where it is stored in an un­ derground tank until workers are ready to boil it down into syrup. The sap is cooked in a special gas-fired evaporator; sugar, sand and other debris are filtered out, and the syrup is packaged and sealed. Owned and operated by Stephen Funk, Funk's Grove has been producing maple syrup since 1891 and is perhaps the best known of the three commercial sugar camps in Illinois. On weekends during late February and March, hundreds of visitors observe the process and purchase jugs of the fresh imaple "sirup" - the Funk's family spelling of the liquid. According to Funk, the word spelled with a "y" refers to syrup made by adding sugar to fruit juices. Local residents celebrate Easter by drenching pan­ cakes with the locally produced sirup before sunrise services at a small, nearby Civil-War-era church. Reservations are not required at Funk's Grove, but Funk suggests travelers call ahead since the sugaring operation depends on weather conditions. For more information, call 309- 874-3220. The following are other educational and commerical sugaring operations in Illinois that offer tours and special events: -- Double Horseshoe Farm ; one mile southeast of Lacon, 309-246-8411.
