PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 11,1983 --EARL WALSH So I Hear .Dear Mr. Walsh, Your recent items concerning Snug Harbor and Ma and Pa Schimmel, needless to say caused quite a stir in the Schimmel Family! I have been urged to write to you of some "Memories", such as Pa Schimmel playing music on the bottles in the back of the bar etc. - More important, Ma Schimmel's Family Stylrf Dinners, platters of chicken, bowls^f mashed potatoes, vegetables, etc.1/and need I say, home made pie? HQW many remember the wondrous entertainment, when Ben Thonneson "and his lovely wife Ella thrilled us. Ben played the piano -- no ragtime better! And Ella belted out the songs to give goose pimples. My favorite was "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie". Pa Schmimel had an assortment of headg&r, from a baseball cap to a mortar board to a top hat, which he wore with a swallow tail coat and cane whfen he did the cake walk, as he strutted he sang such songs as "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey?" and "Rufus, Rastus, Johnson Brown". The lovely people who were "Regulars" included Art and Louise Kennebeck and others, whose names I can't recall. Keep up your good reporting of both old and new news, and "Thanks for The Memories". Mrs. Arthur E. Schimmel Dear Mrs. Schimmel: Thanks for your letter and the memories. I forgot there were any Schimmels left around here. Ben Thonneson also played at the Empire Theater before talkies came about. In a western movie, the piano player had to step up the tempo at exciting parts. The present proprietors of Snug Harbor have some old pictures which you would enjoy. They are trying to put together some historical in­ formation on the Harbor. They would be pleased to see you. S.I.H. Arnold Rauen is also going to look up some history from his father's old papers. That reminds me. Some people have BEST CELEBRATION EVER. rfl|lp7lotV CORNED BEEF ft^T AND CABBAGE SERVED FAMILY STYLE NOON TO 10 P.M ST. PATRICK S DAY THURSDAY JOIN OUR SONG FEST WITH FISH FRY SPECIALS! ROAD noted they haven't seen Arnold and I together lately. We still get along. Kinda. He went to Florida for a much needed rest while I stayed home to do the chores. He plans to return home for St. Patrick's Day. We will get out McNamara's Band to welcome him. Wayne Gaylord, who professes to be a staunch White Sox fan, is on cloud nine as he anticipates a trip to Beautiful Wrigley Field for the opening game of the season. Looked at an envelope from the Casual Shoppe and wondered if they were trying to sell me a dress. Found it was a note from Barb Zamastil, enclosing a "Bald Is Beautiful" clipping with the wording - - "God Made Only So Many Perfect Heads, The Rest He Covered With Hair". What do you think of that, you handsome bushy- haired guys? Since hospital patients names are not printed in the newspapers without permission, friends are often in and out before we know of their illness. Saw "Pete" Rothermel last week after his surgery in McHenry Hospital. It was similar to one I survived 50 years ago. Told him he should be good for another 50. I wouldn't have known "Pete" was in and out if it wasn't for Nancy Fike telling of striking up a conversation when .her husband Steve occupied a room next door. I like it better when names are printed, but think hospitals should put stricter time limits on visitations. Long years ago when I was hospitalized in the old West Side Hospital in Chicago, two carloads of relatives from another city came to visit. The room was packed and a good time was had by all. About two o'clock the next morning something went wrong and a con­ sultation of doctors took place. They didn't know I could hear the conversation outside my door. I had no plans for dying, but a young studient nurse cried when she thought she was going to witness a last breath. As it turned out, there was no need to cancel my breakfast. Dear S.I.H., The other day we had a discussion on where Boone Creek began and ended and decided you would be our source of information. As children it was one of our favorite wading places in summer, and animal tracking in winter. It was a beautiful wooded area in those days and like "Old Man River" it still keeps rolling along. Sincerely, Barbara K. Hoeh Dear Barbara: Would you believe? Boone Creek has always been a mystery to me. Not many will remember that it was called Hanly Creek as it rolled through your Whispering Oaks area. I have an old map which shows the name. There was a lot of mud in the creek, but one sandy-gravel swimming hole attracted some of us. It was south of the bridge on Bull Valley Road, east of Curran Road. A little farther north there was a clear spot in the Will Whiting farm where men and boys took bars of soap to take baths. At harvest itme, it was a great spot to wash off the barley beards. There were many streams leading eventually into Boone Creek. Maybe I can put a map. together when time permits. I won't forget.Right now, Barbara, I have to be rolling along just like Boone Creek. S.I.H. Troop 455 Top First Aid Meet Members of Troop 455, McHenry, are shown in action photos from the demonstration floor. The troop won first place in the fifth annual Boy Scout Kishwaukee district first aid meet. EXPO'83 Expo '83, Crystal Lake's own trade fair featuring local businesses is coming. For a three day weekend, March 11-13, Mcenry County college is transformed from a traditional junior college campus to a vibrant exposition hall where the public can see, feel and hear a sample of what happens 365 days a year at area businesses. The Expo doors are open March 11, from 6 to 9 p.m., March 12 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, the 13th, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fifth annual Kishwaukee district Boy Scout First Aid meet is history. But it was a memorable history that final few minutes of the awards presentation created. Troop 455 of McHenry came in first with 250 points. A close second was Troop 347 of Crystal Lake with 246 points and third was Troop 155 of Algonquin with 232 points. Janet Sedlock, Youth Service director of the American Red Cross, had been there most of the evening and was amazed at the work per­ formed by all the Scouts present. Then chairman, Sgt. Pete Corson, of the McHenry County Sheriff's depart­ ment dropped the bombshell. It became so quiet one could hear himself breathing. McHenry county has never before entered a team in the national F.A. meet put on by the American Red Cross Youth Services. Mrs. Sedlock of the American Red Cross is entering the Eagle Patrol of Troop 455 from McHenry and the Viking patrol from Crystal Lake's Troop 347, with Troop 155 Owl Patrol from Algonquin standing by as an alternate to represent the McHenry county chapter at the district meet. This will be held in April at the Maine East high school in DesPlaines. If McHenry county's team is on top they will represent the entire district in the national event. Fourteen patrols of troops entered did an outstanding job demonstrating their talent on the six problems revealed for the first time to judge just minutes before being disclosed to the teams operating. After the first four problems all but the top six patrols were eliminated. The top six performed the fifth and sixth problems. After problem 6 was completed the standing was: first, McHenry Eagle patrol, 250 points; second, Crystal Lake Viking patrol, 246 points; third Algonquin Owl patrol, 232 points; fourth, Lake-in-the-Hills Flying Eagles patrol, 228 points; fifth. Marengo Frontiersman patrol, 220 points; sixth, Crystal Lake Pine Tree patrol, 219 points.

Reversal of the local court judgment stemmed from an appeal by some of the individual shoreline property owners on Crystal Lake, who challenged whether the park district has the legal authority to issue rules and regulations regarding recreational uses of Crystal Lake. The issue began in 1974 when the v homeowners filed & complaint against thf park district seeking relief against the district's rule requiring registration or licensing of any boat before use on Crystal Lake, if the boat owner was a shoreline property owner. The lawsuit also sought judgment establishing the rights of plaintiffs as nearby owners to the waters and bottom of Crystal Lake. The issue of the park district's legal authority to rule and regulate the recreational use of the lake was resolved in favor of the park district in an order entered by Judge Roland Herrmann in 1982. According to the appellate court record, both the property owners and the park district agreed that Crystal Lake is not a meandered lake. A non- meandered lake is presumed to be not navigable and both parties did not dispute that Crystal Lake is not navigable. .•«* - The higher court stated in Illinois, where a lake or pond is not navigable and has never been meandered by the federal government, the purchasers from the government and their grantees own the bed of the lake or pond and are entitled to the exclusive possession of the portions owned by them repectively.

The main difference is the doctor's at­ titude. Is he inclined to be conservative or radical in his decision making? Is he con­ venient to reach? Can you af­ ford his fees? Do you change doctors periodically in order to get another opinion? How you answer should be your guide to the selection of your doctor.
