"EARL WALSH' 80 I Hear Reruns and the poor quality of TV programs are enough to turn a fellow to the radio. Plenty of TV guides, but where does a person find listings for radio programs? Storms, floods, tornadoes and droughts make a person happy to live in our area n Trading or selling Rick Reuschel to the Yankees has stirred baseball fans to a frenzy. There is nothing wrong about trading a veteran before he gets over the hill Trouble comes when you don't get enough in return Those blamed Yankees will never give up un can buy^a few World Series Right now the Yankees have replacements on the bench for every situation If they need a right or left handed pinch hitter, they have them If they need a runner, they have one ready to prance out there. And. their bullpen is loaded. The^ should never lose. Having no baseball games to watch throws our schedule way out of whack Thinking back to earlier days When every fan looked forward to a local baseball game on Sunday, reminds me of an incident A very religious old lady was strictly against bail games on Sunday. This lady lost a leg and used the lower end of a crutch strapped somehow to the part of the leg remaining It was back in the 20's hen McHenry streets were that this lady at­ tempted to cross Main St. near our home and the crutch sank deeply into the mud. Hearing a holler for help, I rushed to the rescue and attempted to help her. She would have no part of a young whippersnapper pulling her leg out of the mire -- even if it was the wooden one. She instructed me to get my father to get her out of her predicament My father asted. "What did you do to her? She was squealing like a stuck hog." From the following letter you can see I do not have a corner on Wav Back when memories •4^ June 11,1981 "Dear Karl. "As if our paths don't cross once or twice a week, we can talk in newsprint so others might enjoy our memories and chuckles from years gone by... "No, I don't recall a woolen sock around my neck for a sore throat but, when we visited my grandmother in winter, she always checked to make sure we were wearing our long un­ derwear to stay warm ..her remdy for an earache was warm oil (And we wore "high" shoes, through fifth grade!) "Heaven forbid that you tell the 'Kindly One' but cloves were the remedy for a toothache in those days... "For Swedish coffee, we had a coffee grinder in tbe kitchen and used nothing but ^vhole coffee beans. Put cold water in a procelain pot, some freshly ground coffee and a raw egg on top -- let it simmer until it's the strength you like and pour it through a strainer, add whole cream to your taste and add lump sugar. The old- fashioned Swedes dipped the sugar into the coffee and cream and then ate it like candy "The Swedes put a stick' in the eggnog at holiday time rather than in their coffee More "'Do Yoj/ Remember9',,.. \s "Ice boxes before refrigerators came into existence? Put a sign on the front porch window to tell the ice man you wanted a delivery and how many pounds In summer, all the kids in the neighborhood would run after the ice truck hoping for a chuck of ice... "The Saturday night bath was a ritual - no such thing as a shower in those days 'except from the Lord above) - now our children won't walk out of the house without a shower and shampoo in a nicely tiled enclosure... "Your mother did the marketing every day because the food might spoil if you kept it 'on hand' during the warm weather... "Lemonade from freshly squeezed lemons with a large chuck of ice and lemon slices floating on top for a treat on a hot summer af­ ternoon .. "Earl - as you can tell. I could go on and on about childhood memories, if you want some more for 'remember when', let me know - " M R " Now comes one of the real important days of the year. Father's Day It rates right up there with St Patrick's Day. I.et us make it be known that we are King For A Day WHAT IS A FATHER?-- A father is someone who is forced to endure childbirth without anesthetic Fathers are men who give daughters away to other men who aren't nearly good enough --- so they can have children who are smarter than anybody's. ---Author Unknown PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JUNE It, 1M1 Divot Dolls At MCC Tuesday the 16th brought the first round of the four week Match Play tour­ nament for the ladies at McHenry Country Club In Class A it was Carol Cooney with a bye.

Sully Consago over Kitty Evans, Betty Wavman over Fran Herrmann and Betty Gossell over Alta Gierke Somewhere out there, in spite of the seriousness of this tournament, three women, one with a bye, played a nonchalant game not realizing they were opponents Eye exams are in order for these gals prior to checking next weke's schedule A good amount of action seemed to take place on and around the 8th hole Betty Smith sank a nice 30-foot putt for her par Barb Weber, acting a little holier than thou, skipped over the water to land three feet from the cup And. Cathy Greer was charged with reckless walking when she ran into the bridge support and dumped all her clubs into the creek Her playmates nearly had to pull her out of the water, also It was reported that Irene Kinneman was emulating either a mountain goat or a mountain climber exhibiting her balancing skills descending the ver­ tical slopes of the creek on 17 to retrieve her Top Flite. If the ball was new it was probably worth the risk For the weekly statistics Carol Cooney had low gross of 94 in Class A Low net in the same class was shot by Dee Overton with a 73 while Letty Busscher had low putts of 25. In Class B Kathy Lundquist had low net of 76 and the two Smith girls.

The little extras that bring more golf happiness were Brush Inn Ties Cards Brush Inn posted two victories and moved into, a tie with the Cardinals in the major division of the McHenry youth baseball league The Cardinals, winners of two games last week, share the league lead with Brush Inn. Both teams have records of 6-1 Brian Nutter pitched a three-hitter, propelling the Inn to a victory over the Bluebirds Mike Jones pitched well but was the losing pitcher He gave up only five hits on the day. Bob Piva belted three hits as Brush Inn outslugged the Orioles 17-5 The Falcons moved into contention with two victories over the Ravens A barrage of hitting coupled with the pitching of Kevin Walters led to a 22-3 Falcon win. Matt Roy improved his pitching record to 3-0 and Doug Suchomski had three hits in another win by the team Ted Fontaine helped his own cause with a home run as the Eagles nipped the Owls 7-5 That victory gave the Eagles two on the week. They defeated the Bluebirds 7-6 in another game. Eric. Nordensen's triple with the bases loaded boosted the Owls to their first victory of the year, a 12- 6 triumph over the Condors.
