MCCULLOM LAKE Down Miller 365-4901 Toastmasters Charter Time Will Be Closed October 31 Contract For Snowplowing The first board meeting of this month was on Tuesday evening, Oct. •12 and it was a short meeting. A proposal from Atlas Construction for snowplowing was accepted for the 1982-83 season. Atlas stated that they will not be responsible for any road or personal property damage. During plowing season, cars are to be parked 24 inches off the roadway. There will be a road committee meeting, at which time the possible raise of the price of vehicle stickers will be discussed. Not many people are complying with the parking or­ dinance, so much damage is hap­ pening to the roads. In order to keep up with road repairs, the price of stickers may have to be increased. If you are concerned about this matter, I suggest you attend the board meetings. They are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each and every month at 8 p.m. at the beach house. The next board meeting will be Oct. 26. Please plan on attending. CLERK'S HOURS To refresh your memory, the clerk's hours are Wednesday afternoons, starting at 2 p.m. and running through 6:30 p.m. If this is not a convenient day or time, please call 385-2211 and we will set something else up. NEW ARRIVAL Erin Patricia, the first born daughter of Jack and Laura Ryan, made her debut into the world on Wednesday,.Oct. 13, at 8:49 p.m. Erin was the first Ryan child to be born at home. She was eagerly awaited for by big brothers, Nathan, age six and Garrett, age two. Both mother and daughter are feeling fine. Congratulations to all. LADIES OF THE LAKE Thirteen ladies were present for the annual Halloween party. Of the thirteen, there were seven brave souls dressed in costume.

Jerry Boehm, president of the new McHenry Area Toastmasters lub, has announced that charter niem- ps will be closed as of Oct. 31. bers will still be taken after this , but they will not hold charter status. The new club has been'received by its members with great enthusiasm. They feel the need for good com­ munication skills does exist in the McHenry area, and belonging to this Toastmasters club will teach these skills in a non-academic setting, surrounded by supportive people, in an enjoyable atmosphere. There will be training in parliamentary procedure; ex­ temporaneous speaking; prepared speeches, to teach organization and development of a topic; and the evaluation process, which helps one to recognize where improvement can be Gold Rush In City Continues A total of 13% ounces of gold are being given away in McHenry during the McHenry Gold Rush. The value of gold is on the rise. It is currently up 34 percent from the London price of gold at the time McHenry conceived the Gold Rush concept, and has been up as much as 59 percent. Collecting gold has historically been an activity of the wealthy. Today, every McHenry customer and many employees can collect gold - with no investment necessary. "The 1980's may belong to those who put the gold away and forget about it," states Harry Browne, in­ ternationally renowned investment advisor. After a drastic price drop during the past year gold is now hovering at about the price level it made in the content or delivery of a speech. The McHenry Area Toastmasters club has been meeting regularly, twice a month, and welcomes all guests and prospective members. Meetings are held on the second Saturday morning (9 a.m.) of the month for a breakfast at the McHenry Country club, and on the fourth Monday evening at 8 p.m., at the First United Methodist church of McHenry. To obtain further information, call Mrs. Boehm at 385-2884, or Bill Cross, 385-4094, educational vice-president of the club. Governor James Thompson has designated, by proclamation, that Oct. 22 shall be Toastmasters day in the State of Illinois. Interested per­ sons can celebrate by attending the next meeting of the McHenry Area Toastmasters club, Oct. 25. was a year ago, but is 200 percent above it's value five years ago. The 12% ounces of gold being given away during the McHenry Gold Rush are in 6,000 one-gram increments in order to spread the wealth and in­ crease everyone's opportunity to acquire, and collect as much gold as possible - at no investment cost. The McHenry Gold Rush is offering gold to save as an investment or to use as "McHenry money" for many specials that will be offered during the coming months. There are 238,000 prospectors' cards that will be distributed within the total three months of the McHenry Gold Rush, with 6,000 that say "You've struck Gold!" However, there are no losers. The prospector's scratch cards that say "Keep on Digging" have value as well. They are "coupons" for discounts and-or merchandise at many of the participating businesses.

A TEAM WITH CLASS "To the Editor: "It was my pleasure to be among the many McHenry golf team sup­ porters who cheered for them at the state finals in Peoria last weekend. I would like to add my praise and congratulations to all the others they receive and so rightly deserve. "The young men who represented McHenry high school, cur com­ munity, and the McHenry Country club as their home course, did so in a manner that was beyond reproach on or off the course. They were cooperative and well-behaved. They accepted rules and regulations graciously. Their conduct never required discipline. And they were fun to be with. Even under the pressure of competing for first place, they managed to play their rounds without resorting to throwing clubs or using four letter words. To put it in one word, they had 'Class'. "They may hot have come home with the championship trophy for the golf competition, but as far as I am concerned there wasn't a team down at the finals which outranked them. "They are a credit to all of us. I congratulate them and wish them well. j : "Sincerely, "Mrs. Charles Cuda" Traffic Safety Exhibit Secretary of State Jim Edgar has announced that a traveling traffic safety exhibit emphasizing the dangers of drunk driving will be on display at McHenry County college Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 20 and 21. The exhibit, which is scheduled to be displayed at 19 college campuses in coming months, will include short films and brochures with information on the new law and the dangers of drinking and driving. Drink-drive calculators which figure an.in­ dividual's blood alcohol content based on the number of alcoholic drinks consumed and body weight, will be distributed. » "Public education played an im­ portant role in passage of the new drunk driving law/' Edgar said. "This exhibit is an attempt to make younger drivers aware of this critical issue and ultimately reduce the number of traffic accidents deaths on our roadways."' and MEMORIAL FUND An escrow account has been opened at the McHenry State bank as a Memorial of Jeff Novotny to benefit Michael Jeff Novotny. He died following an alleged attack at Johns burg last week. ! McHENRY COLD IS HERE! Strike it rich.. .shop for GOLD IfsFun! It's Easy! It's FREE! McHENRY GOLD FOODS TOTAL DISCOUNT 3705 W.

As a teenager, 1 was wild, ran with the wrofig crowd and was constantly in trouble^nothing serious, just trouble. When I was sev­ enteen, my father physically ejected me from our home and told me never to returii. I took him at his word, got* a job, put myself through cdl- lege and have fashioned a successful life for myself. 11 have an excellent job, a won­ derful family and consider myself a moderately success ful individual. I'have no what happened to my _ _ ers and sisters. But, out of blue, I received a letter my dad. I live almost 2,: miles from the hometowto and have no idea how he was able to reach me. He lives ib a nursing home and he wanp me to come and see him. *1 have mixed feeling*. Foj years, I have considered my­ self as a man without a fam­ ily (other than my wife an? children). I think that my father forced me to make something of my life and ttuft I should thank him for sodd­ ing. But, I don't know how lb react to the idea of having, a parent and brothers and slit­ ters again. Dear Joe: You have always had a family. They did not disap» ,• pear from the face of the eait| because you were separate*! by time and distance. Alj though you were told to do so, you were the one who turned your back and walk­ ed away.
