This would be an excellent time for you to contact me about joining so you can get a sticker for your car and get in some swimming before summer's over. VACATIONERS Natalie and Rochell Krak were feted to a trip to Florida by grandpa Krak and aunt Carol. They flew down to Disneyworld on Tuesday and returned home the following Sunday. While there, they took in the sights at Sea World, where they got to feed fish to the dolphins and at the Lions Safari they took a picture of a giraffe drinking rain water , that accumulated on the roof of their car. / The girls' parents, Tom . and Elke, were miserable the whole time they were gone because it was "just too quiet in the house without them." It has been decided that next vacation they will travel together. Allan and Marilyn Etheridge visited Allan's parents on their farm in Ullin, 111., the first part of July. Their children Mark, Bill and Mary Ellen enjoyed seeing cousins Chris, Annette and Tim'again. They came from Kansas with their parents, Stan and Shiela, for a family reunion. It was so hot, swimming in the pool was like taking a hot bath. While there, the city was having a big holiday celebration and everyone had a good time at the carnival. Annette Koscher has just returned from a week's vacation in Spring Valley, 111., where she stayed with some friends. While there, she enjoyed swimming and learning how to (day tennis. Aftec a week of lessons she thinks she's a real pro. Who knows, maybe we have a future Chris Evert in the family. WEEDSHERE WEEDS THERE And our lake certainly has them. Loads of them that have to be cut before they bloom and seed new weeds. There are so many out in the middle and they keep coming closer. This brings about the question of what to do with them? The McCullom Lake Conservation club has been trying to deal with this problem for years. A few answers are chemicals, but they leave a harmful residue in the lake; there is the White Amur, a grass eating fish that would be wonderful, but it is not allowed in Illinois at this time; and then there is the weed cutter. And with weed cutting there is cleanup. The weed cutter will be back in August and the cutting will be done two days a week. Mr. Raycraft, the club's president, is building a raft to float some of the cut weeds, but it is still a lot easier if homeowners would pick up the weeds on their shoreline. (By the way, they make an excellent mulch in the garden) Big news on the dredge is that it is working again. They did try to clean up the cove but found out that the pipe gets hung in the weeds. The new plan is to start at the north and work south into the weeds. The fish are doing very well and some people have asked what type of fish are in the lake. They are perch, northern pike, bluegill, large mouth bass, black and brown bullheads, channel catfish and red ear sunfish. State Ashing rules apply and only 7V4 horsepower >ufhbtors are allowed on the lake. If you should catch a red ear sunfish please return it to the lake as they eat the snails which do play host to the swimmer's itch. • This is another way the Conservation club is trying to deal with the lake problems naturally instead of chemically. We would like to hear your pros and coos on weed cutting so plan on attending the next meeting Aug. 20 at Lakeland Piu*k community house, 1717 Sunset at 8 p.m. BIRTHDAY BOY Gregory and Diane Blisnik's son Glenn turned 2 years old on July 23. a party was held in his honor for some of his neighborhood friends that day. The guests who joined in the festivities were the Kunzer children, the Kainer children, the Levitz children, the Kielisch children and his sisters, Julie and Linda aqd brother Gregory.

Twice Told Tales | UNSAFE SWIMMING Water samples collected from swimming beaches by the McHenry County Department of Health July 28 and 29 were obtained from several beaches on the Fox river and from some of the lakes in the county. Those beaches at which there have been two consecutive unsatisfactory samples and which the department will be posting as unsafe for swimming include McHenry Shores. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 14, 1990) Eleven members of a robber gang, believed to have terrorized McHenry and Lake counties in Illinois and several points in southern Wisconsin have been arrested. All eleven members, nine men and two women, of the gang, which held up more than twenty- seven filling stations, are in the custody of the Lake county authorities. Little Donald Schaefer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Schaefer, entertained a party of his little schoolmates at his home in honor of his sixth birthday anniversary. A happy afternoon was spent in playing games and a birthday luncheon was served. John Bolger of this city was awarded the $100 in cash given away at the bazaar held for St. Peter's church at Volo.

Mead, 74, a pioneer descendant of McHenry county and one of the most colorful figures in the development of the Rio Grande valley region of southwestern Texas, was fatally wounded by a bandit band who invaded his general store at Santa Margarita, Texas, and shot him. Judge Mead was born a mile west and three miles northwest of McHenry on Oct. 6,1865. His father was a pioneer postmaster in West McHenry. After September there will be no more of this country style of pointing out two blocks in this direction and three in that order to direct a stranger to someone's home in McHenry..

New blueprints of the city have been traced and reconstructed for thi purpose by C.H. Duker am Donald Howard.
