Holiday Hills Karen Kottke 385-6675 Craft And Flea Market Cancelled It is unfortunate that so much planning has gone into the Holiday Hills Women's Club sponsored Craft and Flea Market, because the group now has to cancel the event. Too few volunteers are available to participate in the actual event. Help was needed to set up tables, man them, and dismantle and clean up afterward. In place of the craft and flea market, the Women's Club will now sponsor a bake sale. The sale will be held at the Market Place Shopping Center on Saturday, June 29. The proceeds from this sale will be used to help finance the club's November bazaar. SWIMMING LESSON REGISTRATION There has been a rather poor response to the swimming lesson registration, which was held last week. The lessons are offered each year to the children of area residents, this year the classes will be expanded to include adult lessons. The training period will be from July 15 through July 26. For further information call Connie Catanzaro at 385-0565 or Sharon Kottke at 385-4160. Registration forms may be completed at Connie's, 2404 Hyde Park. Pleasje register as soon as possible so that these ladies may coordinate the activity. WOMEN'S CLUB MEETING On Wednesday, June 12, the Holiday Hills Women's Club held their monthly meeting at Carol Campbell's. Many topics were discussed, but the primary discussion centered on the November bazaar. This event is hoped to be the club's most successful venture this year. The Ways and Means Committee, Penny Appleyard and Pat Hughes, has begun the groundwork for the club and committees were formed to proceed further. The Women's Club will provide table space for arts and craft hobbyists to present their wares. The club also hopes to have many home made items for display from club members and residents. Although there are many, many talented people in the area, many of us do not fall in that category, therefore the club would like to solicit materials from these residents. Charlee Gueths volunteered her services to instruct interested individuals in the creation of certain crafts. She will conduct the workshops at her home on the corner of Sunset and Lilac street beginning June 26, at 7:30 p.m. The club received a beautiful thank you note from the Sheltered Village for its donation of Easter treats. The Girl Scouts of troop 478, filled baskets with colored candy filled eggs and other goodies and presented them to the residents to brighten their Easter. The club's meetings have been held in Mary Ann Mahon's basement for many years now. The point was made that, as was the case in June, if the meetings cannot be held at Mary Ann's an emergency basement be offered. Colleen Priko offered the use of her home in that event. Thanks to the evening's servers, Sally Carroll and Val Tannert, for their delicious cakes. The July and August Women's Club meetings will be suspended this year. Hope to see a large crowd at the September meeting.

Looks as if I really goofed! My apologies to Gary Connell for reporting that he received an award from Northwestern University. Gary has just completed his freshman year at Loyola University. His Scabbard and Blade award from the ROTC was well deserved and this columnist will not forget his status at Loyola. WELCOME NEW RESIDENT We would like to welcome the Larry Gueths family to our subdivision. Larry and Charlee recently purchased the home on the corner of Sunset and Lilac. Although much of their spare time is spent completing the structure, they still find time for their individual hobbies. The couple have a seven year old daughter, Stacy, and a couple of dogs to keep therrf happy also. Larry is a design consultant for a firm in Mundelein and Charlee is employed as a secretary in Deerfield. Charlee spends much of her spare time with her arts and crafts and studying first aid. Larry, an avid car nut, spends much of his leisure tinkering with sports cars and has a special interest in Models. We hope this family has many enjoyable years in their new home. TEENS VIE FOR BEACH DANCES Several teens in the area have requested permission to hold a dance twice monthly at the beach. This request was presented to the Homeowner's Association and the Women's Club for consideration. The kids have expressed a desire to participate in something other than sitting around all summer. They have agreed to earn the expense money needed for the dance through various activities. They have also solicited the aid of the Women's Club in securing adult chaperones for each dance. Both organizations have approved the plan and hope this plan provides the teens with the much deserved entertainment they desire. ON THE MOVE This subdivision will soon be losing one of its golden rays of sunshine in the form afthe Stackhouse family. Craig is being transferred to Memphis, Tenn., on June 30. Craig and Carolyn have always been among the first to offer their services to the community. We have never seen Carolyn without a smile on her face. Even though we'll all be saddened by their departure, we wish Craig, Carolyn, Ann, and Craig, Jr., the best of everything in their new home. RECEIVE SPORTS AWARDS The Hughes boys have Now, people who die with their boots on may be pedestrians. accumulated quite an assortment of sports awards this year. Tim and Tom just completed their last year at McHenry Junior High. On Tuesday, May 28, Tim Hughes took fourth place in the Tri- County Track Meet, held at the Junior High track. He also placed fifth in the high jump and 440 relay. Tim also received awards in football, track and a sports activity award. Tom received football and sports activity awards. Sixth grader, Eddie Hughes, was awarded citations for basketball, football and sports activity. Good work boys, and best wishes for next year. SUMMER CAMPER We'll be losing Cathy Connell for awhile beginning June 23. Cathy has been nominated to attend the GAA Leadership Camp in Lake Geneva, Wise. This is quite an honor, *since only one representative from each school may attend. The representative is also chosen by fellow classmates, which make this an even greater honor for Cathy. ROADS? For those who attended the meeting on Thursday, June 13, concerning the status of Township road paving, the word on costs was not encouraging. As we all know, prices have spiralled. The bids for county approved road surfacing has just about tripled since the onset of this activity. The study of our subdivision roads shows that many of the roads are so flood prone that the township may not pave them. The road committee wants these factors revealed to residents so they may decide which course to take. In any event I'm sure that all residents are concerned with the road problem and would be grateful for a definite word on its solution. LITTLE LEAGUE STANDINGS As of June 17, the team standings for the Island Lake Little League are as follows: First place - L and M with 6 wins and 1 loss; second - the Braves with 6 wins and 2 losses; third - the Police with 5 wins and 4 losses; fourth - Carpet Discount with 4 wins and 5 losses; fifth - Lions with 3 wins and 5 losses; and sixth - J and L with 2 wins and 7 losses.

PH.- 815-385-0420 Many Wonders Of Stonehedge Are Described (by Hugh Kirk, on his trip to England) A visit to Stonehenge can be extremely fascinating if you appreciate history and care to speculate on how the people of the past could possibly accomplish such wonders without the aid of machines. It would take heavy equipment and the use of steel cables and more just to hoist one of those huge, long blocks of stone up to be placed over the top of two similar rocks standing on end. It is hard to see how they even leaders, Tillie Williams and Marge Connell, for their guidance with these girls during the 73-74 scout year. The troop will be needing leaders for next year. Any interested person may contact Marge Connell at 385-3756 for further information. There is a very large troop in Holiday Hills and they do not want to lose their charter for lack of adult leadership. BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday greetings to my son, Ricky Kottke, and to Jack Connell on June 23; to Debbie Catanzaro on June 24; to Michelle Novak on June 26; and to Abbie Emerson on June 27. ANNIVERSARY Happy anniversary roses to Laurie and Dale Johnson on their special day, June 22.

Over the centuries one of these large top stones has been upset and is partly touching the ground. Upon examination you find that it has been mortised (holes cut out) and when you look up to the top of the huge rocks where it came from you can plainly see the large stone tenons (pegs) that it was over. The great appreciation comes when you And that the entire surface of the rock was cut down to let these tenons protrude as they are all part of the same rock. As though this is not enough to marvel at, you find that these rocks came a long, long way, either from Wales or a similar distance north in England. They are not close to any river and so your wonderment is all the greater. How did they ever get them there? These huge stones form a circle and two other circles of lesser stones form up in great circles outside of these. Well, outside and to the north I believe, is another large stone which I shall call the leader stone. On the longest day of the year the sun comes up directly over the point of this stone when viewed from the center of the circle formed by the rocks, and is seen through the opening between a certain pair of rocks. Each month following, it comes through the space between the next set of rocks in a clockwise direction until on the shortest day of the year it comes through the narrow space between a pair of rocks that seemed at right angle to the first set. After this, the process is reversed until it gets back to the position over die leader stone. I took a number of pictures, of course, and it is interesting to see how small the people are compared to these great "one piece" stones.
