Sunnyside Estates Don Gerstein Jr. Ph. 385-0248 Much Work Remains To Be Done At Park Work is stilllbeing done on the park. Much Of the work that re­ mains consists, of levelling out a hump in left'field, enlarging center field, and a measuring of the baselines. , | Even the best plans can get mislaid. I had meant this part of the column to be a sort of tribute to those who instigated the work at the park, but time and loss of memory at inoppor­ tune moments caused a delay. Next week ought to bring about better luck. Last week, I wrote an art­ icle concerning Steve Wegner, who had been collecting dona­ tions for the teen dance. Well, it turned out that the Women's Club had discovered that Steve was doing this, and had put a halt to it. True, Steve's in­ tentions were golden; however, music has been offered free of charge. Hence, the money Steve has already collected will be set aside for another time. The Wo­ men's Club refused to take the money, as the organization has fund-raising projects of its own, designed to raise money for affairs such as this teen par­ ty. In fact, one of these fund- raising projects is coming up soon and will be held August 14 and 15. This will be a rummage and bake sale. Any do­ nations will be greatly appre­ ciated. Feel free to call Jo­ anne Eichorn at 385-3552, or Barb Schiavone at 385-8326, if you have any questions. Lefs all turn out for the bake and rummage sale, and help the women out in any way we can. A REMINDER I Though we may have a good amount of people who intend to attend the teen party, which is sponsored by the Sunnyside Estates Women's Club, the number of applications turned in are few. • . If you are one of those who has forgotten to turn in your slip, there is still time if you act quickly. Turn these slips into either Mrs. Barb Schi­ avone, Mrs. Kathy Nieman, or MrS. Joanne Eichorn. If you ' have lost your slip, P m sure you can either make a new one, or else call Mrs. Schiavone at 385- 8326. Again, I must emphasize that haste is the word, as the % mount of food and refresh­ ments must be planned out fully ahead of time. >/ A rock music group is sched­ uled to appear. I would en­ courage everyone to attend, as a good turnout could lead to similar jiffairs in the future. What are you doing July 31? WAY OUT WEST Herb and Don Rose must have had a lot of enjoyment and happy experiences. The duo took a five thousand mile trip, travelling through a total of twelve mid-western and west­ ern states. Even though they busily hopped from state to state, time was found to visit many of the interesting sights which our country abounds. ?• Many miles were spent in the Great Salt Desert, located in Utah. Salt Lake City was also a spot marked on the tour, and a visit was made to .'.the famous Mormon Square, avhich is located in this fair Icity. Reno and Carson City, Ne­ vada, were two more stopovers !for the pair. Virginia City, sight ( of the Comstock Lode, was also ' given a good lookover. A tour was made through the Ponder- osa Ranch, which is the setting of many of the Bonanza tele­ vision shows. Lake Tahoe, hav­ ing an altitude of 6,225 feet above sea level, was also vis­ ited. Herb was very much im­ pressed with the scenery and sights of Oregon, and no won­ der. Crater Lake, found in the above mentioned state, is the deepest lake in the United States, and the fifth deepest in the world. This beautiful body of water lies in the heart of Mount Mazama, an ancient vol­ cano whose destruction many years ago resulted in the for­ mation of a gigantic crater, in which water from rainfall and snowfall accumulated. The lake is 1.983 feet deep, 6milesiong, and 5 miles wide, and has a multi-colored shoreline of la­ va cliffs which rise from 500 to 2,000 feet high. A walk through the Lava River Cave, Ilso in Oregon, gave another in-lcation of the beauty found in the state. A drive up a circuitous one- ray road around a mountain rned into a fun-filled hunt for ich stones and relics as jade, isper, agate, thunder eggs, obsidian. Yep, the west is very lmense, besides being a hot arid country inhabited by aen in spurs and ten-gallon its. What a place for a quick F CELEBRATE! Gladys Kaylor celebrates her iday July 23. Jim Farley's follows on the very next day, July 24. Neil Davis will be nineteen on the same date. Denise Higgins remembers her special day July 25. Steve Kuntz will be sixteen the fol­ lowing day, July 26. July 27 belongs solely to Anna Carl­ son. David Drogosz finishes up our week of birthdays, and will be four years old .July 28. Harold and Marge Palmer will celebrate:::many years of blissful marriage July 26. Happy celebrations to all of you! AND CELEBRATIONS! Connie Hanahan celebrated her tenth birthday with a swim- J ming party. Girls from her class at St. John's school were invited. One of the invitees, Julie Gabriel, was not from Connie's class, but was a good friend who hailed from the far- off city of Philadelphia. The party began in the early evening, and lasted till every­ one was exhausted from swim­ ming in Connie's pool. Cake and pop were served for refreshments. - •/* N Everyone had a lot of fun, even though they did make a lot of noise from voices and splash- ings. It was a celebration that was well-planned, and executed perfectly. SPORTS "A house divided self cannot stand." inst it- Truer words ^were never spoken. This very adage is be­ ginning to be felt by the mem­ bers of the composite Sunnyside Estates-Sunnyside Village Baseball team, as their organ­ ization is now on very shaky ground. Dissent is heard from almost every team member. A minute error, which can hap­ pen to anybody, is never for­ gotten. To sum up the whole issue the players are no long­ er a team. Almost every person is play­ ing for himself, and not for the benefit of the team. If Sunny­ side could get together, Jak- Ana and Johnsburg would have to give way, for we could and would definitely have a stronger team. It has been seen through their past record that Sunny­ side is actually stronger. How­ ever, with all this dissension lately, our team is left in the lurch, and is unable to put up any sort of a decent offense or defense. To cite an example, /Sunny­ side won four of their first five games. During the last seven, they have won only two, and lost five. This shows definite­ ly that the trouble must be rooted out and destroyed, or defeat is inevitable. On brighter topics, Jim Wil­ liams and his Indians clinched the Little League title of Lea­ gue Champions July 14, as Mark D^vis once again pitched one of his fantastic games. Mark gave up only three hits, and struck out a total of twelve batsmen, thus leading his team (• to a 6-0 victory. Tfce Indians re now 8-0 in the win-loss column. "< Kelly Bute, who plays for the Mets in the Babe Ruth League in McHenry, helped his team in a 17-13 victory. Although he did not have much success as start­ ing pitcher because of a sore arm, Kelly helped himself to four hits, one of them a home run which cleared the left field fence by at least thirty feet. John Meyers and Ed Choate, both teammates of Kelly, also helped to spark their team. John had one homer, while Ed help­ ed himself to two of them. For my closing words in the sports section, I would like to say that Scott Stull, a member of the Sunnyside team, asked me to tell everyone out there WED.
