PHOTO BY WAYNE GAYLORD The Village of Holiday Hills C HF.HI IKXiU \n .'<85-3944 RUSKMAin HOL'IV 344-0615 May Wedding For Holiday Hills Couple The early May wedding of Linda Pratt and Roy Lundelius, Jr., both of Holiday Hills, was as beautiful as the day itself as the happy couple exchanged vows before family and friends at the Zion Lutheran church May 7. The lovely bride was escorted down the aisle by proud dad, Winston, who with mom, Lillian, gave their blessing. Linda wore an ivory gown with the traditionally beautiful long train and veil. A Bible was carried with her bouquet of spring flowers. The bride was attended by her matron of honor, Cindy Edwards, bridesmaid, Susan Lundquist, and little sister, Nancy, was her pretty flowergirl. The girls wore long yellow dresses with pastel capes. Spring flowers were used beautifully for headpieces and flower baskets. The happy groom was joined by his brother, Scott, who was best man. Richard Sawish was his attendant and cousin William Theil, the handsome ring bearer. Brother Tom of­ fered his expert services as usher. All the men wore colored tuxedoes. Both mothers chose to wear long dresses: Lillians' turquoise, while Virginia Lundelius wore silver. The reception was held in Island Lake with village families; Boettchers, Longergans, Mahons, Sawischs, Stanchucks and Wegeners enjoying the festivities. Best Wishes to the happy couple and equally proud and happy parents. SCHOOL DAZE Athletics from all corners of McHenry met at Hilltop school on a bright, sunny day as in­ tense competition began for the annual junior Olympics. Children for grades 1-5 vied for top honors and trophies in tough, grueling sports as strength, endurance and skill were put to the test. Holiday Hills boasted three olympians, Leroy Beltz, David Cole and Tommy Cuzman as their parents witnessed the thrill of victory- the agony of defeat. Although none of our com- peitors won any victories, they are now all in training, an­ ticipating next year's games. Our younger sports people were recently recognized as outstanding athletics at a banquet given by Montini school. Don and Katie Gregg and Ron and Dee Wegener looked on with a tremendous sense of pride as their children were honored for their active participation and team spirit in their chosen sports; Diana Gregg, for volleyball, her brother, Keith, for football, basketball, Softball and wrestling ajnd John Wegener, for basketball. Congratulations to all of you. At yet another sports banquet, the fathers and sons of the "Little League of the Lakes" enjoyed a chicken dinner with all the fixins as a prelude to the new baseball season. Holiday Hills was well represented by dads and sons ; Bill and Billy DeWitt, John and Randy Connell, Mr. Hickey and Billy, Ray, Sr. and Ray Hoglund Jr., Jerry and Kevin Reid and Ron and John Wegener. Opening day was highlighted by a parade down the main street and an ex­ ceptional thrill for the boys playing their final season - a ride in the fire truck. With the end of the school year at hand, thoughts of summer fun have been changed into reality for the open classroom at Hilltop school. The kids and their teachers enjoyed a good, old-fashioned picnic at the Lakewood Forest preserve in Wauconda. After a morning of playing ball, jumping rope and nature walks, the kids were treated to a lunch that included hotdogs, potato chips, fresh fruit and roasted marshmellows. Everyone returned tired but full of happy memories. Hang in there, guys, one more week and life will be one big picnic. WE'LL REMEMBER ALWAYS Graduation day is soon to be a fond memory and recollection of years gone by - the future bright ahead. Our congratulations to all the village young people.

HAVE A NICE DAY Frustrated riverboat buffs and other dreamers will have their chance to splash down the Illinois river June 19 when the old time steamboat, the Julia Belle Swain of Peoria, challenges all comers to an unusual race. Prize money is availalbe for any craft entered which lunges across the finish line ahead of the famous 19th century stern wheeler. Just about anything and anybody is eligible for the race, according to Peoria officials who "are coordinating this year's "Steamboat days" festival, as long as the entry is powered by a paddlewheel. And that includes old bath tubs, up­ turned refrigerators, old logs, ironing boards, little yellow inner tubes and motorized margerine containers. Rubber du£ks are welcomed. The one and one-half mile race, which pits challengers against a fully loaded Julia Belle Swain, begins from a standstill at LeToumea Point and ends at Baker bridge in Peoria. Entrance rules state that boats (a big Roy Rogers lunch box will do) must be powered by a paddlewheel mounted at the stern or the side-middle or front. Although manual power is acceptable, to enter a craft with ten horsepower or more one must carry an approved fire extingusiher. - Entrants must also register the name and description of their boat with the Peoria Chamber of Commerce by Wednesday. June 15. Prize money will be presented to winners during the Steamboat days festival. All qualified entrants, no matter how unusual, will receive a trophy-win or lose. The Steamboat days celebration itself begins June 17 and features crafts, food displays, an ethnic fest and a glamourous Miss Steamboat days competition. Riverside glitter also includes an evening dance party where guests can kick up their heels , weave and two-step to the nostalgic refrains of a Glenn Miller era orchestra. Saturday morning there's a twenty-mile foot race and an antique car parade featuring 5(H) automobiles from the 1920's and 1940 s. A hydro-plane race in the afternoon puts a modern edge on the traditional central Illinois event. Country music entertainment and a "blessing of the fleet" serves as prelude to an evening parade of lighted boats arriving from throughout the state. The Julia Belle Swain will race against a challenging sternwheeler-a real one- Sunday. The "Third Annual World Championship Old Tim Piano Playing contest," besides taking three minutes to pronunce, also heralds another unusual competition for weekend travelers in search of something different-or just plain strange. Held May 30, the contest will draw nimble fingers frpm throughout the nation. Each contestant entering the event must play three songs which are fifty or more years old. An added rule says that one of the songs must have a railroad theme. To remind persons of this, the contest is being staged at the Monticello and Sangamon Valley Railway museum-from the tail end of a wooden railroad caboose. To add a little extra flavor to the "Third Annual World Championship Old Time Piano Playing contest" (say that four times while balancing a lemon on each elbow, the star at­ traction will be the champ maestro herself-Joybelle Squibb of Vandalia. While listening to Ms. Squibb's fingers dance across the ivory keys, visitors to the Monticello and Sangamon Railway museum can also take a ride on a steam train which operates from noon until 5 p.m. Piano playoffs begin at 1:30 p m., and admission is free. A railway snack shop operates from an old .wooden passenger coach and offers homemade hamburgers, sloppy joes and refreshments. In addition to relics like the "Little Dumpy" 0-4-0, the museum also boasts a rare 1940 Davenport diesel and dozens of freight and passenger cars. For information about schedules, call: 217-762-9201. The museum is located southwest of Champaign and northeast of Decatur on Rt. 72. Nearby sites worth a visit in the Monticello area include Allerton park, Weldon Springs State park and the Bryant Cottage State memorial. Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas met at the Bryant cottage over a century ago to discuss their plans for the now famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. Coming Events Woodstock's restored Opera house is one attraction to see when visiting that town's "SDringfest" slated for May 28- 29...Lake Decatur is the scene for the "Summer National Boat race" May 29-30...also for the Memorial day weekend is a special schedule of pioneer events and a flea market along a portion of the Spoon River Valley Scenic drive between Sep and Waterford. Fishing enthusiasts who already know about the angling wonders of southern Illinois Collect Handguns In Survival Days Project The National Coalition to Ban Handguns is sponsoring a special handgun turn-in project in four major U.S. metropolitan areas: Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Atlanta. During the wieekend before Memorial day, May 20-22, citizens were asked by members of the clergy in those cities to bring their handguns voluntarily to their places of worship. Local law enforcement officers will then assist in collecting and disposing of the weapons. McHenry area residents who wish to dispose of handguns in their possession may bring ; them to the First United Methodist church at the corner of Main and Center Saturday, might be interested in a new brochure which lists in­ formation on twenty-one southland lakes, including tournament dates and facilities. The free lake guide also give tips on game species and what to expect when you drop a lure or bass plug in the waters surrounding the 240,000 acre Shawnee National forest. Anyone looking for one of those big 14-pound northerns, or hefty bass native to Illinois' southern waterways, write: Gojan Nikolich, Illinois Office of Tourism, 205 W. Wacker drive, Chicago, 111., 60606. All information is free. May 28, between 1 and 3 p.m. A police officer will be present to receive the unwanted hand guns and a receipt will be made if desired for the value of the gun. Four distinguished leaders of the national religipus com­ munity have joined in the call for Survival days: Bishop James K. Mathews, Methodist Bishop of Baltimore and Metropolitan Washington, DC.; Bishop Paul Moore, Episcopal Bishop of New York, Rabbi Benjamin Kreitaman, exective vice- president of the United Synagogue of America; and Bishop Carrol Dozier, Catholic bishop of memphis, Tenn. According to Michael Beard, NCBH executive director: The purpose of Survival days is two­ fold. First, we wish to demonstrate that there is a definite desire among ordinary Americans to stop the rapid proliferation of deadly han­ dguns in our society. Our second and more immediate goal is to save lives by removing these potential in­ struments of death and suf­ fering from as many households as possible. Sadly enough, it is the homeowner, members of his or her family, or his friends who are more likely to be killed or injured by the handgun bought for self protection".
