PAGE 18 - PLA1NPEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1982 Lakemoor-Lilymoor Area Morgoret Koros 385-4934 Neighborhood Watch Program With the high incidence of break- ins, house burnings and harrassment by undisciplined young people, residents of Lakemoor responded to the call for a "Neighborhood Watch Program" under the guidance of Tom Dvorak, Chief of Police of Lakemoor. A meeting was held at the Lakemoor municipal building on Tuesday, Sept. 21, with 19 concerned people at­ tending. The lack of notification of community problems was brought up. On Sunday morning, Sept. 19, at 3:15, a house at £213 Pine Grove was set on" fire by some of the undesirable element that seems to have found a hideout in Lakemoor. Yet others in the community were unaware of the fire. How can residents protect their property and that of neighbors from destruction and the cruel behavior of the punk-type youth? Chief Dvorak asked for community help and in­ volvement. Lakemoor has a budget of $1,600 per year for police protection? County support is minimal,! as Lakemoor is a municipality, and as such is to provide its own police protection. Are the residents of Lakemoor able to afford another tax increase for 0^ r rjrvOVC® oft. "THE HOUSE THAT SERVICE BUILT" 6E6. P. FREVND, INC. 4102 W. CRYSTAL LAKE ROAD, McHENRY, ILL. (>15) *15*41* their own protection? Mr. Dvorak is asking for volunteer help to avoid that cost. Concerned persons are asked to volunteer several hours a week to ride in the squad car with the police chief. Those wishing to do this will be given a training period to learn how to use the radio system in the police car, and what to do to _. to the police officer. If you can help, are qualified, and have several hours per week to volunteer, call 385-1117 or contact Chief Dvorak personally. Mr. Dvorak stressed**ne need of neighborhood involvepfent. At this time, it is not mandatory that a complainant'srjarrfe be made public. If there is^a problem, take down license numbers, names, other in­ formation, and relay this to the village clerk at 385-1117. It will be forwarded to the police chief when he comes to / the office. In case of extreme/ emergency the County Sheriffs office should be called. Conditions will only improve by each person's involvement qnd awareness. Call your neighbor if you see something strange. Get to know those who will turn'on lights and help to chase away intruders. A word of warning to parents in Lakemoor and surrounding areas. Youngsters are going to be prosecuted? Know where your children are and what they are doing. A 13 year old girl was walking the streets of Lakemoor at 2:30 a.m. the other night, a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other. Where is your daughter? Where is your son? Where are you? ONE HUNDRED AND TWO BIRTHDAYS Mrs. Louise Franz celebrated her 102nd birthday on Sept. 19. The year of her birth was 1880. One wonders what our coutnry was like at that time. No hospitals, no rescue squads to call for help, no way of getting assistance via phone or transportation. This dear lady has made it to 1982, and amazed the guests with her memory, Strength, and the joy she had in being where she was. Her daughter, Myldred Rovye of Lakemoor, had asked a small group to be present at the Royal Terrace facility in McHenry, to extend bir­ thday wishes. Her dear friend, Shirley Kively, helped with the arrangements and serving. Myldred sang "That old Irish mother of mine" in a strong dusky voice with her piano ac­ companiment. This song sheet had the owner's signature as "Myldred Franz", so it must be from the early 1920's. Celia Blake added to the musical enjoyment by playing old favorites. Marie Thomas, a family friend for many years who plays professionally, shared Chopin and other music, that sounded beautiful in spite of the older piano. Among guests present were cousins, Mary and Irvin Seuring, beautiful Catherine Weber recovering from the effects of a fall, Helen Schneider who asks Myldred how it feels when one is two weeks older than she is, Mary Behrens from Lilymoor, Vicky Destefanis, Jim Cosgrove and myself. The Suerings have two cousins who are priests. Father Phillip Grib of Loyola in Chicago said a Mass in honor of Mrs. Franz on her birthday. A special lady needs a special tribute. ice cream and doughnut holes, were enjoyed by all the guests. The ladies of Royal Terrace were helpful in setting up and joining in the festivities. Gramma Franz is one of their special charges. What a pleasure to wish this dear, delightful lady a happy birthday. May we meet again for the 103rd party. SURPRISES ARE FOR KIDS All day Saturday, Sept. 4, Herman Albert Kunz kept muttering, "Sur­ prises are for kids" at the thought of the surprise anniversary party son, Albert, and his wife, Anita, had been planning for his forty-fifth wedding anniversary. Albert had not wanted to tell his parents of the gathering in their honor; but Anita insisted they be told the day before. Which was the right way to go, as the senior Kunzes had planned on spending the weekend elsewhere, which would have made the party a complete surprise to all the people attending as the guests of honor would not have been there. Anita almost had "telephone ear" after making the calls inviting over 300 people to the open house on Sun­ day, all done while the visiting senior Kunzes were out of the house. Over 150 friends and relatives signed the guest book which was grandson Michael's special chore. Granddaughter Heidi greeted the guests. The cakes made by Anita and the special anniversary cake made by another family member were devoured with joy. Herman Albert and Emma Kunz thoroughly enjoyed the "surprise" meeting in honor of their anniversary. They had lived here for many of those 45 years, and are now making Florida their official residence, spending summers with family here. Though their anniversary falls on Oct. 23, when they will be back in Florida, they will always remember the surprise that wasn't for kids, but for parents and grandparents. CELEBRATIONS The last day of September finds Bridgett Heald, Helen Freeman and Danny Withrow celebrating their birthdays. Jeffrey Michael Barker, brother of library-user Timmy, will be three years old the same day. October finds Diedre Kent of Lilymoor and Sundae Morrison of Lakemoor adding another year.
