SECTION 2 - PAGE 8~ PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20.1980 Lakeland Park & Lakeland Shores Carol Cominsky 385-7246 Where Has Summer Gone? i It sure is hard to believe that school begins next week. The streets are buz­ zing now from the sounds of skates, skateboards and bikes. All the children are trying to get in as much fun as they can before they have to settle back into the book and studying routine. The next familiar sound we hear will be the humming of the school bus tires. As much as we enjoy having the children home it 'always feels good when summer starts slowing down with its releaxed schedule and we get back to a regular routine. (I can hear those kids booing me now.) We wish all of you success on a new year of learning. STREET PARTY The Lakeland Park picnic turned out to be a success. Even though it was cloudy and drizzling in the morning, some people decided to brave it. By 3 in the af­ ternoon the sun was trying to peek out a little so more people came over to join in the fun. If you were unable to at­ tend the picnic let me remind you of the street dance this Sunday, Aug. 24, at the West Beach. Food will be served at 5 p.m. and you will be able to burn up all those extra calories when the dancing begins at 7. Brats, beer and corn will he available at a very nominal fee. What a fine way to say goodby to summer with dancin' in the street. SPECIAL DELIVERY I received an odd piece of mail last week, a cigar. Have you noticed our mailman has been smiling a little more than usual? Larry and Vicky Winkleman are now proud parents of a girl, born Saturday, Aug. 9, at Sherman hospital.

REUNION TIME 6 The weekend of Aug. 8 saw Wayne and Mary Ann Dettmer going to two reunions. The first one was Friday at an inn in Diamond Lake. This was a meeting of anyone born before 1940 in Diamond Lake. 126 people from all over the United States were there, including Mary Ann's sister June Porter from Billingham, Wash., whom she hasn't seen in three years. This group first got together in 1975 and they pain to have a reunion every 5 years. On Saturday, Aug. 9, the Dettmers were at Lake county forest in Wauconda for their annual family reunion picnic.

Marc is the son of Robert and Shirley and the brother of Steve, Bob, Gail and Jackie. They had a party for him on his special day. Some of his friends who joined in on the fun and games were Charlie, Kevin, Ralph, Kelly and Steve. The next birthday boy is Brian Gaza, son of John and Bonnie. Brian turned 7 on Aug. 8, and his brother Ed saw to it that he received the correct amount of good luck spankings. A nice party was heldju his honor for friends and family. Cousins Katy and Laura McKluckie and Amy and Emily Hutchings were there. Other guests were neighbors Mike Bunting, Scott and Trisha Schuerr, Mary Ellen Etheridge and Chris, Danny and Matthew Sorenson. John and Sharon Gacek's son Jay was 9 years old Aug. 11, but he will have to wait awhile for his big party. A cake and ice cream was served on his day and sister Toni and brother Bobbie helped blow out the candles. Jay received the gift of karate lessons and I heard he thinks that's the greatest. Occupational Therapy Serves Disrupted Lives Parkland Orientatlort Occupational Therapy serves people whose lives have been disrupted by physical injury or illness, developmental and learning problems, social or psychological difficulties, or the aging process. This form of therapy uses purposeful activity to decrease or eliminate disability, in­ crease the individual's in­ dependence and well-being and develop total function to a maximum level for future job training and em­ ployment. Jean Majewski, oc­ cupational therapist, also offers Easter Seal clients an opportunity to identify ap­ propriate adaptive equip* ment best suited for their needs. Equipment such as a GOOD WISHES A very happy birthday to Shannon Sweet, Anny Ar­ thurs and John Arient on Aug. 20. The twenty-first is the special day for Mark Serpe and Edward Nicolai.

Carl Munson of C4ry, suffered a stroke last year. Like many stroke patients, Carl lost the full use of his right side. Through therapy, he has advanced to the point where he can once again operate a car, but because he was once right-handed, he has had to learn to drive with his left hand only. Adaptive equipment, installed by an auto mechanic, and recommended by Easter Seal occupational therapist enables Carl to operate his vehicle with his left hand. A spinner knob on the bottom of the steering wheel Incoming sixth grade students and their parents are urged to attend Parklana's sixth Orientation nig] in the Learning center of Parkland school at 7:90 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. as. Parents and students will grade acquainted be provided with the portunity to see the f a c i l i t i e s , b e c o m e with the grade teachers and othtr parents, and will receive an explanation of the educational program - its goals, materials, and m«jtH*ds enables him to maneuver the car around cornets and into and out of parking spots. This knob is easy to grip and allows the leverage needed to turn the wheel. A shift- lever placed on the left, rather than on the right side of the steering column, allows Carl to move the car from park to drive. * The turn signal, standard on the left side, provides easy access. The only maneuver Carl has to make on the right side of the steering wheel is to turn the car on with the ignition key and this is easily managed by reaching through the openipg of the wheel. Af special foot accelerator, also installed by a mechanic, allows Carl to accelerate with his left foot. The opportunity to drive-' has done much to increase . Carl's self confidence and mobility. To put it in Carl's own words, "I'm sorry to b£ a stroke victim but really glad for the ment so that I can (hive again." 4 For more information on adaptive equipment or oc­ cupational therapy, call the Easter Seal society, 815-338* 1707. 10-6 Sunday 9-9 Daily «•! ctiva while quantities last '•MW# right to limit tMntillM Supreme Qua/^ PENCIL lubricate r mm Starts August 20 Time for an oil change?
