r«* > ine Public Response To Summer School Program ] "It's a waste of taxpayers' money to allow these facilities to lie useless all summer," says Harvey Ahitow, athletic in­ structor at M?Henry Commun­ ity high school, as he stood beside the west campus's Olym­ pic size swimming pool. Ahitow is one of several teachers who are working for the school's summer recreation program. The program features swim­ ming, tennis, archery, basket­ ball, cheerleading and baton leajvinb w luci.cj /outliers. Sponsored by the board of ed­ ucation, all the courses, with the exception of the basketball clinic, have a small tuition fee. Basketball lessons are given ree of charge through the ser­ vices of Ken Ludwig, high school basketball coach. Ludwig vol­ unteered to work seven weeks without pay for the program. "We need to teach these kids the fundamentals of basket- Bail," Ahitow says of Ludwig1 s work. "McHenry's teams have been hurting because of a lack of early training." Three basketball clinics are held on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. One course is de­ signed for third and fourth grade children; another for fifth and sixth graders; and a third for sev­ enth and eighth grade students. Approximately 500 beys and girls are enrolled in the courses offered this year. An unknown number, of youngsters use the facilities during "fipee periods" when no scheduled activity is held. During the afternoons, both the gymnasium and the swimming pool are open to the public. ss great value in the school's pool. "The lakes and the river here are danger­ ously polluted," he complains. "They also contain broken glass, jagged rocks, scrap metal and deep holes. The only safe public place to swim in this area is our pool." The Red Cross co-sponsors most of the activities in the swimming pool. Graduates from the school's swimming les&ons receive Red Cross certificates. The organization also certifies student® complete th» school's life saving program. A sDecial Red Cross fitness course, the 50-mile swim, is held at the pool. Thursday evenings are re­ served for families who wish to swim together. Saturday eve­ nings are restricted to adult r swimmers. Anyone can dip in­ to the pool on Saturday, Sunday and week day afternoons. Girls participate in the ten­ nis and archjery courses which are held in the mornings. To provide future spirit boosters, the school offers a cheerleading clinic on Wednesday and baton lesson on Saturday. .. _... _ By August, ̂ the recreational program will be finished. The building will remain closed the ertire month to prepare the facilities for the coming school vear. "We've had a very good re­ sponse from the public during this first year," says Ahitow. To keep the community's inter­ est high, the instructor feels that the program must grow. "We must offer more courses each year and improve our pre­ sent. ones. If we continue to develope, our future will be bright." PG/~6 - PIAINDEALER - FR1. JULY 18, 1969 Illinois Hunters Will Have Another Spedol Teal Season CUB COUNTRY-- David and Ann Bolger, children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bolger, are displaying sign "McHenry is Cub Country'^ which was made by David and appeared on television during Monday's game attended by the Bolger family. The Cubs beat the Mets 1-0. / PLAINDEALER PHOTO Earl Walsh SO I HEAR David Broad in to and Ann Bolger (the eet Bolgers) came us Tuesday and un­ folded a large Cub banner "Mc- HENRY IS CUB COUNTRY'". We took a coiqjle pf picture^ then decided to send them to an expert, Wayne Gaylord. Sports Editors thought those Mets werevfor real. At this point they are making believers out erf all of us. Their mother obliged and took the children and sign over to the Plaindealer. See the sport page. Wow'. Tom Bolger had us fooled for years. We thought a fellow bom on Irish Prairie had to be a White Sox fan and a Demo­ crat. A Democrat he is! * . Ed Wittrock saw the game at Wrigley Field Tuesday and brought us some tickets for the 29th to see San Francisco -- and the Cubs. * _1 Ed says it is the ex-Sox players who have made the Mets what they are today -- Weiss, Agee and Martin. They couldn't make it with the Sox. One sees the darndest things. We pulled up in front of.the Casual Shop on Green Street the other night and saw a young boy dash out to pick some­ thing ffom the planter (is that what you call it1?) in front of the store. In a big hurry, he put it in the parking meter. He dashed into a car and the car drove away. Thinking it might be something that would damage the meter, we took down the-*car license number. When we walked up to the me­ ter, we found a lighted cigarette sticking out of the coin slot. We would never have guessed. Now comes Marine-Festival with all its whoop-de-do. Miss America, McHenry* s own queen, sidewalk sale, show on the water, shows on land, mu­ sic, marching, crowds, par­ ade -- and there'll be dan­ cing tonight. It is festival time in McHenry.

One was the seven-run first and the other was an eight-run third. They combined four singles with extra base hits by Jackson, Oef- fling, Reinboldt, and Kilroy to score seven runs. Key hits in the third were doubles by Bob Schaefer and Gene Hester and a two-run homer by Reinboldt. Cicero scored all three of their runs in the third. The big hits were doubles by Olson and Bor- relli. This game was called in the bottom of the fifth because of the fifteen-run rule. Bakery had balanced hitting with Jack­ son and Richie Meyers, each getting three hits and five other players getting two apiece. Six Cicero players had one hit and Borrelli drove in two runs for them. Lakeland 16 - Reids 7. Lakeland bounced back from Sunday's loss to Dee by beat­ ing Reids. Reids took the lead first on back-to-back doubles by John Buehn and Keuchel, follow­ ed by Ken Reicfs single. Lake­ land scored five to wipe out the lead in the bottom of the first, ffits by Wjeingart, Hur- ckes, John Smith, and Janik combined with three infield er­ rors to give Lakeland the big inning. Reids scored single runs in the second, third, and fourth innings, one of these coming on Tom Miller's home run, but Lakeland got seven runs in those three innings to take a .seven run lead. Lakeland add­ ed one in the fifth and three more in the sixth, with the big hits being doubles by Knaack and Morenz. This meant Reids went into the seventh, down by eleven runs. They fought back after two were out, on an er­ ror and hits by Reid and Bud­ dy Smith, but a flyball cut the rally short and gave Lakeland a nine andQtwo record with one game left for them; against Ba­ kery. Weingart had four hits and Hurckes and Smith drove in three runs to lead Lakeland while John Buehn, Reid, and Buddy Smith each had three hits for Reids.

Rutherford, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, announced today. Teal migrate through Illinois early in fall before the regular waterfowl hunting season be­ gins. If a special season was not held, Rutherford said, sportsmen would not have a chance to harvest the birds. But the hunter who takes ad­ vantage of this season has tak­ en on the responsibility of learning to identify a teal.

' Wild Aaimb Art Meant For The WMs - Net Pets mans hip and responsibility of the citizens involved as to whether we can enjoy this priv­ ilege and not destroy a val­ uable wildlife resource," Ruth­ erford said. "Whether we can have open specific seasons will depend on our responsibility and stewardship. "We are determined that fu­ ture years and future citizens shall not be deprived of wild­ life so we ask for full cooper­ ation in the spirit of this test. It will mean education and care­ ful identification by every hunt­ er and outdoors groig). It will carry strict and vigorous law enforcement as part of the plan. And please, let no one expect other than that!" The season will begin Satur­ day, Sept. 6, and end Sunday, Sept. 14. Hunting hours are from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., C.D.T., every day. The daily bag limit is four teal and the possession limit is eight. On/Opening day the possession limit is four. Sportsmen must have a valid Illinois hunting license and a current migratory waterfowl hunting stamp or duck stamp in their possession. A special teal permit is not required. Hunters may take blue- winged, green-winged or cinna­ mon teal only. All other ducks and geese are protected during this season. Anyone who shoots at or kills any other kind of waterfowl will be cited by con­ servation officers. Teal seasons were held in Ill­ inois in 1965, 1966 and 1967. One reason a season was not opened last year was that al­ most half the hunters observed during prior seasons did not distinguish between teal and other waterfowl. Rutherford emphasized that the sportsman must be able to identify the duck he is shooting at before he pulls the trigger. "Every hunter must know a teal on the wing," Rutherford said. "This is his responsibility and anyone who cannot tell a teal from a protected duck had bet­ ter stay home." We have deliberately set shooting hours so that the hun­ ter will have good light con­ ditions to aid him in identi- SPRING FIELD, ILL., July 7 -- Wild animals do not make good pets, ^hey are meant to live in the wild. Every spring or summer well-intentioned persons "a- dopt" baby raccoons, skunks, rabbits, fawns or other wild creatures. William L. Ruther­ ford, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, said that this practice is il­ legal and may be dangerous. People assume that the young animals have been abandoned by their mothers, but this is not true in most cases, Ruth­ erford said. Usually the mother has left her baby for a few moments so that she can feed. "When the animal is young, it's cute," Rutherford said. "But when it grows into an a- dult trouble generally results. Often it bites its human fos­ ter parent. So-called pet deer are a constant cause of con­ cern. A deer raised in cap­ tivity has no fear of humans and when it matures it is large enough to inflict serious injury. A few years ago a central Ill­ inois farmer who kept a tame buck in his barnlot was at­ tacked and killed by the animal. Last year a buck kept in a pen in one of our state parks charged a department employe as be was feeding the animal and injured him severely. "There is always a chance that a. small animal like a baby skunk may be rabid," Ruther- fying ducks," Rutherford con­ tinued. "Mallards, woodies and other protected ducks tend to make their greatest movements to and from feeding areas at sunrise and at sunset. The 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. hunting hours will lessen the chance of a hun­ ter killing an illegal duck, but he still will have to know his bird before he fires." Classes on waterfowl identi­ fication will be conducted by department biologists through­ out the state before the sea­ son begins. During the season technicians will occi^jy blinds to observe hunting activity at areas where ducks are concen­ trated. The department is re­ quired to report on the kill of teal and illegal ducks and on hunter behavior to the federal bureau of sport fisheries and wildlife. This information will be an important factor in de­ ciding whether teal seasons will be held in the future. ford said. "Skunks are notor­ ious as rabies carriers and under no circumstances should anyone try to catch a baby skunk that he sees wandering around during the day. "According to the Illinois Game Code, a person must buy a game breeder's permit before he may legally keep a wild an­ imal or bird," Rutherford ex­ plained. "He must obtain the an­ imal from another licensed dealer; he must not catch one in the woods. "Any person who keeps wild­ life without the required permit may be fined up to $300," Ru­ therford concluded. ilTTlC UA6UC (S/tMiS LITTLE LEAGUE STANDINGS AS OF 7-15-69.
