' »"•' LAKEMOOR-LILYMOOR AREA Margaret Karas 385-4934 Community Watch Is In Progress The Community Watch in formational program scheduled for April 19 was cancelled at the Lakemoor Village Board meeting on April 14. About 12 residents, in cluding myself, were unaware of the cancellation so we, along with deputy John Eisele of the McHenry County Sheriff's association, met in front of the municipal building and listened and shared for an hour in the below freezing night. The importance of each individual's awareness, was the thrust of deputy Eisele's report. When unlawful ac tivity is in progresss, be very, ob servant. Remember the people in volved as to age, sex, attire, activity, time, what kind of vehicle, license number, color, or any identifying features. Call the sheriff's office, giving all the information you have to start the investigation. If the officer can go directly to the area-person in question, the caller may not need to be identified. How are we to protect our own property and that of our neighbors? Watch, notice unusual activity, remember even small details, call the sheriffs office. Another important area was discussed. Many times, burglaries and vandalism are done by local persons. Do not be afraid to call and make a report. The only way destruction and fear of retaliation can be overcome, is by making the authorities aware of who is dong what. There are many of us who are watching our neighborhoods. A word of warning to those who have no respect for private property or who steal from others. Somepne is wat ching. WHATTO DO IN NINE DAYS? Ann Brzezinski answered that question during an exciting trip to the northwest to visit with her daughter and son-in-law, Mary Anne and George Merker of Isaquah, Wash. Here are the highlights of Ann's ex periences. Isaquah is about 25 miles from Seattle, so the Indian museum in Seattle was first on the agenda. Ann was amazed at the giant totem poles, some over two stores high and three feet in diameter, carved on all sides, Visit Our Boutique net made while you wait 1 (Single vision plastic only) Over 1,000 First Quality Metal or £4*4* Plastic Frames SI E Frames * 1 J Metal or Plastic \ Visit Our Boutique Designer Section |£» FREE FRA Ml m WITH PURCHASE • E OF LENSES telling the history of the Indian tribe. Mt. Rainier had only one of the five entryways open to traffic. At the base, cherry trees were in full bloom, while jonquils and the large blossoms of the rhododendrums made the area aware of springtime. Then, after a 20-minute drive, it was as if going into another world. Only the top of the third story of the lodge was visible. Snow plows had opened a roadway leaving banks of 20 to 25 feet of snow. Ann watched the skiers, with nary a thought of joiningthem on the perilous slopes. Three days and two nights were spent in Canada. In Victoria, British Columbia, Ann, George and Mary Anne went through the Parliament building thoroughly captivated with the English accents heard all around. They were unable to enjoy tea and crumpets that are served daily at 4 p.m. at the "Empress", as there were no reservations available. Breakfast was served at the Captain's Palace in a mansion built in 1897. Craigdarroth Castle found Ann walking up to the top turret about five stories up, from where most of Victoria could be seen. At the Aquarium in Vancouver they watched the performing killer whales, which were dubbed "The Rockettes of the Sea" by Ann. The huge pair of white whales in one pool, and the black and white triplets in another pool, were truly amazing with their jumps and dives. The otters, the comedians of the sea, added laughter to the program. Breakfast was en joyed on the thirty-second floor of a hotel, at the revolving restaurant called "Cloud Nine", overlooking much of Vancouver. Back to Seattle to see that town from the Space Needle, the restaurant on the sixty-fourth story of the civic center. Again the revolving panoramic view was breathtaking. After these nine exciting days, Ann returned to her quiet home in Lakemoor to recount her experiences to her daughter and grandchildren,. Many neighbors also shared through Ann, the variety of places to go and the things to see in our Northwest. EXPLOSION CAUSES FIRE On Thursday afternoon, April 21, the Metschke home in Lilymoor caught fire after an explosion in the kitchen. Firemen managed to control the blaze, saving the bedroom areas. No one was in the house at the time of the explosion, so thankfully, there were no injuries. Neighbors and friends are ex tending help to the Metschke family. One of the first to offer assistance was a member of the Freeman family in Lakemoor, who knew what a shat tering experience it is to have a home destroyed by fire. BAKE SALE The newly formed Lakemoor Civic Improvement association, in order to start with some necessary capital, is asking for donations for baked goods to be sold at the bank in McHenry on Elm and Green streets on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Baked goods may be brought to the municipal building Thursday evening, from 7 to 9, or Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This is a good opportunity for community support, and a chance for area bakers to prove their abilities. And all for a good cause. BIRTHDAY RECOGNITION Belated wishes to to Peggy Rupp of Lakemoor whose birthday was April 21.

To make a profit you need them to be high or even higher this year. Last year some things may have happened in your fields that could really affect this year's yields, unless you carefully plan your fertilizer program. 1. High rainfall washed out some nutrients. 2. High yields removed large amounts of nutrients. 3. Fertilizer applications may have been reduced. 4. Visual signs of inadequate nutrition showed up during the growing season. 5. Reduced tillage programs exaggerated fertility problems. So this year your fertilizer program is more im portant than ever before in planning for top yields. Regardless of what happened last year in your fields, we can help you plan for maximum economic yields this yeer. You won't achieve maximum economic yield if you just plan to "get by" on fertilizer. We need to monitor phosphorus and potassium levels closofy. It pays to apply enough P and K to grow profitable yields and to maintain high aoil levels. We also recommend Stabilized Nitrogen. It s a better form of nitrogen. Unlike regular nitrogen, Stabilized Nitrogen is not mobile in the soil. Like P and K, Stabilized Nitrogen is not lost to spring and early summer rains. It remains available in July and August when the corn crop needs over half its total nitrogen to produce maximum bushels at harvest. So see us today. Set profitable yield goals for 1083 and we'll work with you to hislp you reach your goal. pSjMcHENRY fs Marengo McHenry Huntley Woodstock Elkhorn Chemung Zenda
