On The Sidelines With Dick Rabbltt The McHenry North Stars are the latest athletic team that is receiving recognition in Northern Illinois. The young hockey team was formed in the winter of 1973-74 in the 16 to 9 year old age group. Coached by Dee Lester this group entered the Lion's Men League in Zion. Competing against such teams as the U.S. Navy from Great Lakes, - the team had a record of 1 win, 10 losses and 1 tie. , Last summer Mr. Lester entered the team in the 16 to 18 age bracket, and the local squad finished second behind Zion. They defeated Woodstock in the summer playoffs 2 games to 0, and lost to Zion 2 games to 1, with the first game going into overtime. The leading scorer on the team was Dave Wickencamp, and the leading goalie in the league was Ken Lester. This winter under coach Jim Williams, the team finished 1st in the first half of the split schedule. Leading scorer was Joe Kuna with 8 goals, Dave Wickencamp had 7 goals. Again the leading goalie in the league was Ken Lester. The team record was 7 wins and 1 loss. The team has been exciting to watch, and have gained experience over the past year. When they started a year ago, none of the boys had ever played organized hockey before. They have a very rugged practice schedule. The boys all pay for ice time at the Zion Arena. There have been times last summer when the only time available for practice was 4:00 a.m. Credit must be given to these lads, that will get up in the wee hours and drive to Zion to practice hockey at 4 a.m. The team plays every Wednesday night at Zion Arena, which is located 2 blocks south of Rt. 173 and 2 blocks west of Sheridan road. So if you are free some Wednesday evening drop over to Zion and watch some of our local boys in action. The roster is made up of the following boys: Dave Wickencamp, Joe Kuna, Rob Butle^ Rich Gilbersteen, Dave Robel, Vic Frick, Bob Schabow, Jim Cemark, Vic Santi, Allen Hill, Ray Boro, Jim Williams, Mike Roberts, Mark Allison, Bruce Henderlong and Ken Lester. With the coming of the New Year I would like to make some wishes for my fellow coaches. That Ken Ludwig reaches his goal of a conference championship, and at least get to the Supersectional. To Marty Sobzcak that he too realizes a conference championship, and that his "Rassling Warriors" continue to improve with each match. Mike Shanahan, more underclassmen to report out for swimming. Ken Swanson that his baseball team beat the Broncos this year, and likewise bring back the big trophy as a conference winner. To Walt Scott some 440 men to help his relay teams, which in turn will help him to win the North Suburban track crown. Gary Gray, a Jimmy Connors for his tennis team. To Coach Chuck Cuda, some subpar golfers so he can win the District Meet. Coach "Hutch" that those sophomores with the 16 and 0 record run faster next season. To Bill Day that he too gets his wish, and puts the first football trophy in the West Campus trophy case. To S.I.H. that he continues the practice of feeding the pigeons in the press box. And to all of you Warrior fans a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. Come in and browse, you'l! get ideas for furnishing your bath and discover many charming gifts. nT % V h * \ P i 3012 VV Rte. 120, McHenry East of New Bridge - Free Parking 385-0048 Mon.-Thurs. 9-5:30.

MATHEWS 6aMiy OF /HOMES/,- Tax Relief For Some Mobile Home Owners State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr.' (R-Crystal Lake), said this week that the double taxation charged mobile home owners this year may actually help those who are eligible for "circuit breaker" property tax relief. Eligible are those over 65 and those disabled according to Social Security, if they earn less than $10,000 a year. Skinner was a primary sponsor of the bill that allowed adding mobile home privilege tax payments to the ground rent mobile home owners pay to determine the figure that is considered the equivalent of the taxes a senior citizen homeowner pays. The, grant program, com­ monly cabled circuit breaker relief, compares one's property taxes (or what the legislature considers equal to taxes for renters and mobile home owners) to one's income. Next year, according to Skinner, if one's taxes are more than 4 percent of one's income, a person has a pretty good chance of getting a rebate. Someone whose income is $3,000 and whose taxes (or 25 percent of annual rent) are $400 will receive a rebate of about $280, for instance. A couple earning $9,000 a year with a $400 tax bill would get a check for $40 to offset their taxes. There're two things that lead to error: a speaker with a loud voice and one with deep emotion. FROM THE FARM 1974 CENSUS - The 1974 Census of Agriculture is being con­ ducted by the Bureau of the Census. The last U.S. farm Census was for 1969. You should receive the questionnaires in early January. HEARING LOSS - Farmers can suffer permanent hearing loss from working with noisy machinery. Accoustical ear muffs, similar to what airline employees wear or properly fitted ear plugs can reduce the possibility of loss. Participants at our December 19 Dairy Day in Woodstock, had the op­ portunity to have their hearing ability tested by the McHenry County Health Department. One half of those that took the screening test had already suffered some permanent loss. They will again offer free testing to those who are in­ terested, at our Jan. 22, 1975 session on Crop Production- Crop Protection. SOIL TEST - You can best utilize your limited fertilizer supply if you base your ap­ plication rates on soil test results. I have interpreted over 1000 soil samples this fall. Give me a call if you need in­ formation on the proper techniques in taking soil samples. PLAN AHEAD - Fertilizer, agriculture chemicals, seed,< machinery, and everything else seems to be in short supply. Plan ahead and order what you need now, rather than waiting until you want it. DAIRY TOPICS - Jim Gruebele, University of Illinois Dairy Marketing Specialist, predicted at our December 19, Dairy Day, that milk prices during 1975 will average somewhat higher than in 1974. Price-support levels will be higher than in 1974, but production cost will also be higher. He expects milk production to decrease more in 1976 than in 1975, and this reduced supply will generate higher prices. Stan Smith and Jim Clark, University of Illinois Dairy Specialists, discussed meeting nutritional needs of higher producing cows and Gary Hatpestad reviewed making use of production records. We have a few copies of the handout material left over from the Dairy Day. Call us if you want a copy. # * * * It's not "un-American" to disagree with others, regard­ less of what positions they occupy. * * • * The fear of competition explains much that happens in business, politics and life in general* PAGE 7 - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY.
