iSStsS* PRAYERS , AFTER WE EAT! PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14. 1877 Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis * 385-5067 Worthwhile, Educational, Fun And Free The McHenry Shores summer activity program was a great way to pass the summer. For those enrolled in this free program, it was a tremendous happening. AH of those par­ ticipating benefitted greatly from the various arts and crafts taught, the many volleyball and baseball games played, and the homemaking classes offered. This activity program was a free program for the residents of McHenry Shores. Imagine that! Worthwhile, fun, educational and free. No one can beat that combination. Last week saw the end of the ac­ tivities except for the adult volleyball. The Tuesday night volleyball " will continue, weather permitting, for several more weeks. The new full time social athletic director is Roseanne Stowe from Lakemoor She will continue an activity program through the fall. However, the fall activities are not concluded as yet. If you have any suggestions for poss ib le ac t iv i t i e s - - i . e . women's exercise classes, cooking classes, sewing classes, men's recreation classes-call the village hall, 385-5067. Ideally this program will be a reflection of the suggestions presented by the residents. BAKE SALE There will be a bake sale, Saturday, Sept. 10, at the village annex. The proceeds from this bake sale will go entirely to the McHenry Shores library. If you are willing to bake something for this sale, call 385-5067. ARE YOU STOPPING? The recently installed four- way stop signs at Biscayne and Hilltop are being observed, but not everyone is aware of their presence. Many motorists have been seen disregarding these stop signs. The police depart­ ment cautions drivers to watch for children and heed the stop signs which were placed there for both the pedestrian's and driver's protection. Also parents of small children should re-instruct their youngsters on the proper crossing of streets to insure their safety on our roads. BICYCLE SAFETY Operating a bicycle on the village roads is similar to driving a car. Rules and regulations-bicycle safety laws-must be adhered to. Recently another youth from the village was struck by a car while riding a bicycle. To insure proper safety while cycling, be sure to have a light, rearview mirror, and reflectors on your bicycle. Warning tickets will be issued to cyclists riding a bicycle which does not have these three necessary items. BIDS TO BE SOUGHT Two bids will soon be requested for two large projects within the village. These projects concern the seal-coating of some roads, ditching, and the placement of new culverts for proper water drainage. RAFT DISAPPEARS It has been discovered that the raft at the beach has been dislodged from its chains and it is no longer anchored in its place. This raft, costing $200 in material alone, could not have broken loose as a result of a storm, etc. Vandals are responsible for the loss of this valuable item. If anyone on the Fox River spots a redwood- stained raft with styrofoam bottom floating along the river or stuck along the river's edge, please call the McHenry Shores village hall, 385-8500. According to the office of the village president, the village cannot afford to replace this raft. If it is gone, it is gone forever. No replacement raft will be forthcoming. Of course, if anyone has any information concerning those involved in the raft's disappearance, contact the village hall. WINTER HERE? With winter not too far off, be advised by the road depart­ ment that all decorative rocks along the roadway must be removed to enable the snowplow to pass quickly and easily along the roads. DOGSBARKING Barking dogs are again a topic of conversation. This problem is usually remedied by moving the animal indoors thus separating the dog from both the element causing the dog to bark and the neighbors to whom the* barking , is a nuisance. Yelling across empty TURN ONS CUTTERS NEEDED At the next two meetings of the Shoreline club, which meets on the third Thursday * of every month at the village annex, cutters are needed for some of the various items to be sewn for the annual Christmas bazaar. If you are handy with a pair of scissors, come and join the crowd. Refreshments will be served. LOST AND FOUND Yes! there is a lost and found at the village hall. Presently the lost and found includes: a house key, some shirts, an envelope full of wedding pic­ tures (this was found in a book donated tee the library) and assorted other items. Visit the village hall and see if any of the "found" objects could be your "lost" ones. BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday Susie Perez. May your birthday, Aug. 28, be a lot of fun. And Clarence Mueller who has his special day Aug. 29; may you too have a memorab l e b i r t hday . Congratulations. Breaking the golden chain, woman steps boldly toward the sunset and finds freedom-of career, character and costume.

Recognition Given To Youth In Conservation Bonnie Wirfs Speech Clinician For Camp The McHenry County Conservation district recently hosted a buffet dinner for members and the parents of members of its Y.C.C. program. Hie dinner was an occasion for sharing information. Burton Atwood, president of the board of trustees for the Conservation district, outlined the history and purpose of the district. Don Scnellhaass, district land manager, briefly described each conservation area through the use of color slides. Hie main focus of the evening, however, was the program presented by members of the Y.C.C. Under the direction of the supervisors, Beverly Meuch of Woodstock and Dale Ward of Marengo, the Y.C.C. participants discssed their work at the Piscasaw North Conservation area where they spent six weeks rehabilitating the stream, planting trees, constructing stairs, a bridge, and fencing, laying out a nature trail and writing an interpretive field guide. Lisa Krueger of Crystal Lake, told the group of about fiftv-five that the en- lmcntal experience that Semostlmpact on her was a discussion the YCCers had about the Bottle bill. Ms. Krueger urged those present to work for the bill's passage in the future. . • Marilyn Ehlen of McHenry and Ed Landers of Hebron explained what they tike best about the summer's program, while Pat Wroblewski, also from McHenry, listed improvements that could be made in subsequent programs. Chris Hopp of McHenry reported on the •« most worthwhile aspects of the work done at Piscasaw North, and John Perron from Crystal Lake followed with suggestions for further development of the area. After a slide presentation by Meuch and Ward, showing the Y.C.C. in action at Piscasaw North, certificates . of completion were presented to the participants. A special award was given to Jeff Johnston of Huntley for outstanding growth in work output, tool knowledge, environmental awareness and attitude.

Shot* And Stopping The kind of shoes a driver is wearing can affect how quickly he or she can stop a car. Researchers at the Univ­ ersity of Missouri at Rolla hunted up motorists who were used to wearing platform soled shoes sometime and reg. ular footgear at others, and timed their braking ability with each sort The results, reported in the Journal 0/ A m e r i c a n I n s u r a n e e show that platform soles sig­ nificantly reduce stopping time. The average response time was .81 seconds when the driv­ ers had on normal shoes and .91 seconds when they were wearing platforms. That tenth of a second difference translates into slightly more than seven feet difference at 60 miles an hour between the time the driver sees a need to stop and the time the car ac­ tually halts--enough to make the difference between a close call and an accident. Illinois Comptroller Michael J. Bakalis has released figures which indicate that the state finished the month of July with an average daily balance of 194 million. "But the really good news," Bakalis said, "is that the state took in 172 million more than it spent in the month of July. This compares quite favorable with the 822 million deficit we ex­ perienced in July of last year." The comptroller pointed out that the general fund revenues were $91 million higher than July of last year primarily because of the tax acceleration p rog ram wh ich was im­ plemented last October. Bakalis, in his monthly fiscal report for July, also pointed out that the 894 million average daily balance could have been about 822 million higher. "In addition to the general funds, the state ordinarily has some other funds which are readily available for use in paying bills," said Bakalis. "The main source of this money comes from balances in special state funds which could be tran­ sferred. lots doesn't help much. Call the dog's owner and complain to him or her. \ "Secondly, the ad­ ministration could suspend payments to several debt service funds which have ac­ cumulated sufficient earnings to make the required payments " The comptroller pointed out that, "Even without those adjustments, the state can reasonably expect to keep its daily balance above the $100 million level at least until October, when a series of large expenditures may temporarily reduce them to about the 860 level" RATHER LEASE THAN BUY?
