The opportunity to take part in the Olympics began when Pioneer Center officials met with McHenry high school physical education department personnel two years ago to develop a socio-recreational program for the people at Pioneer Center. Ken Swanson and several staff members at the high school agreed to develop a recreational program, and about 10 students-bovs and girls-volunteered to help since Pioneer Center client benefits with personalized help, whether in recreational ac­ tivities or competitive training. "We find this program significant, because we believe developing the social aspects of the personality of our han­ dicapped is a vital as the program of training them in various jobs," said Robert Lambourn. executive director. Lambourn said he was pleased that each of the five who competed in the Olympics received a ribbon for placing in their heats. Several Pioneer Center staff members have helped this program evolve this year, headed by Arlene Purdy Others include Jim McLaughlin and Kris Weisenberger, both assisting coaches. MCHENRY AREA INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE 12 INCH SOFTBALL Morton Chemical handed Swanson Chalet its first loss of the season with an 18-10 vic­ tory.

Bob Freund tripled in Ed Raske and scored on Vic Freund's double while 2 more runs came in due to errors. Morton came back strong with 6 runs on 8 hits in the second and never were headed as they scored 3 runs in each of the next 4 innings. During the third inning Dale Snell, Chalet catcher, was injured during a putout at the plate. In making the fine defensive play, Dale broke an ankle and will be lost for the remainder of the season. Snell had been making important plays at home plate throughout the season and will be missed in the lineup as Swanson's vies for the championship. Nine players hit safely in a 24 hit attack for Morton as J. Sch­ wartz, Dobovich, Weber, Pereidu, Martin, and Palidari hit safely 3 times apiece. Swanson's Ed Raske had 3 hits including a solo homerun in the 4th. Vic Freund doubled and homered while Gary Snell homered twice. Each homerun, interestingly, was hit without a runner on base.

Found that the hostess and her husband (owners) are Plaindealer readers. Ye Olde Plaindealer gets around--And to the nicest people! Thanks, John and Bev, we must see Don and get his version on the Pack. Of course, being a Sox fan, he has to see the Cherrv side. Could we be dreaming? If not, we saw Christmas cards on a sale a couple of weeks ago. It isn't often that we blame officials for the loss of a game in any sport. And, it isn't often we get on the soap box for those Cubs. But, after viewing re­ runs Sunday night, it looks like the Cubs got a couple of lousy decisions. There. We said it- Other Thursday scores in­ cluded The Group's 11-9 victory over Rusty Nail in 8 innings. Hank Miller saved the victory for The Group as he made two fine catches in left field in the last inning. Bud Lytle had a perfect 4 for 4 including a homerun while Norm Liepert had 4 singles in 5 at bats. John Finney provided extra offense with a 2B and two triples and Denny Smith homered and tripled. For the losers Rasmussen hit safely 3 times and Elliot homered in two runs.

Elliot had 5 hits for Rusty Nail in­ cluding a 3 run homer and a 3 run double. Dave Klapperich and Ackermann both had 3 hits while Bob Klapperich doubled twice for the losers. Brake Parts split with the Lakers, winning a close first game 9-8, while dropping the second 17-3. Warren Heir homered for Brake Parts in game one while in game two Danneby and Blackburn hit homeruns for the Lakers. Pat Wirtz I Coast Guard < | News | The public is invited to the formal dedication ceremonies for the new Fox Lake Coast Guard Auxiliary marine radio station which will be held Saturday, August 25th, at the station, 72 N. Route 12, Fox Lake, Illinois. The station will be operated by Division 3 of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and will be used for communication with patrol boats and pleasure boats on the Fox Chain-of- Lakes. According to Ralph t. Schiavon of Park Ridge, Captain of Division 3, the station will be quipped with VHF-FM marine radio as well as AM marine radio to facilitate communication with pleasure boats in the area. Captain Schiavon advised that Dear Mr. Walsh: The 15 yr. old McHenry vs. Barrington all star game was omitted in the Plaindealer. McHenry had to beat Barrington in order to play Crystal Lake for the cham­ pionship. Tom Jacobsen got a grand slam home run for McHenry and deserves a mention in your column. He attributed in many ways (pitching and catching) to help bring back the trophies for McHenry. Dick Rabbitt, the old crystal gazer, gives us a story on the Warrior football team this week. Hope he sees a lot of good signs in his gazing. Now, why didn't you sign your name? Had to cut off your thank you to various people since that is a No-No as a news item. Without time to check back on the story given us, we hope the above will give proper credit. Decided to take a ride out of town--if not out of McHenry County. So we landed at^^a. German Cookin' place named Bill DeVries came in after his team lost that 15-1 game to explain that his pitchers needed the exercise. Told him we thought the outfielders were the ones who got the leg work. Anyhow, Bill has taken up golf for the summer and will take up checkers for the winter. FLASH- HOLD THE PRESS! The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce golf outing will take place on Wednesday of this week at McHenry Country Club. Call pro shop for tee time. Call Barb Gerasch for tickets. Kinda late. Hope we can catch a few who may have missed the date.

Standing with Coach Bill Day are I-r Steve Hurckes, Kerry Decker, Day, Rick Freund, Bob Dobbertin and Bob Staley. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE G A YLORD) Thirty-Eight Candidates Report For Varsity Football By Dick Rabbitt Thirty-eight candidates reported Monday morning to Coach Bill Day and his staff at West campus, in preparation for the coming football season. Practice sessions will be held twice daily, weather per­ mitting, at 8:30 and 3:30. Coach Day is again assisted this year by Ken Swanson, Toby Scott and Ken Ludwig. After a few brief remarks by Coach Day, the boys were put to work going through various drills. Despite the moans and groans, a lot of enthusiasm was shown by the entire squad. Since the I.H.S.A. changed its policy last spring, football practice starts two days earlier than in previous seasons. Beginning in 1974 a state playoff system will determine a state champion in football. This will commence after the regular season To prepare for this, the State Association has put into effect an earlier starting time. This also means that the opening game may be played one week earlier than usual. The North Suburban Con­ ference is starting play on Friday, Sept. J. A nine game schedule will be in effect and all games will be conference games. The Annual Soap Bowl game for McHenry fans only will be played on Friday, August 31 at McCracken field. It was the opinion of many, including this reporter, that the second Friday in September starting date was really a little late. Most squads with the two a day drills were ready to go a week earlier. We'll get a chance to see if we were right or not on Sept. 7 when the Warriors play host to Mundelein high school. Below is listed the names of the boys who reported to the first session. Five are returning j lettermen. They are: Bob* Dobbertin, Rick Freund, Kerry' Decker, Steve Hurckes and Bob J Staley. Others reporting for practice! were: Scott Nimsgern, Ken?
