/ PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1177 The Villageeof Holiday Hills CHERI HOGLUND ROSEMARY HOLTZ 385-3944 344-0615 Historical Delaware Chosen For Vacation A gathering of the clan in beautiful downtown Smyrna, Delaware was held recently to honor one of their own. Cathy Beltz proudly introduced her husband, Leroy, and children, Leroy and Heather, during a week-long visit of food, fun and good times. The family also enjoyed brisk refreshing walks along the cool ocean shore, as well as early morning swims. Some highlights of the Beltz's vacation were sightseeing in • our nation's capital, a White House tour (President Carter unfortunately could not meet with them) and the exciting history found at the Smithsonian institute, within whose rooms are contained America's glorious past and present. The long trip home was spent savoring the happy memories with a promise to return to their roots. WISCONSIN SPLENDOR The Saunders, Roger, Bev, Laura and Jill joined three other families and eighteen members of the Methodist Youth group for a three day canoe and camping trip down the Kickapoo river in Wildcat Mountain State park, Wis. The weather was beautiful as the canoes travelled on past unusual rock formations and a hint of fall color in the trees. The six hour trip ended in a picnic lunch that was enjoyed by all. VISITORS TO THE HILLS The DeWitt family enjoyed a short but happy visit with Mim'saunt and uncle Alex and Phyliss Butninski from New Jersey. During their stay they all spent the afternoon at Moraine Hills State park where the changing seasons is becoming more evident each day and enjoyed a delicious lunch on the river. BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES The Holtz family took ad­ vantage of one of the last summer weekends by taking a trip to an amusement park. Debbie and Lori enjoyed the many rides and attractions while little brother Joey got his first chance to touch and feed live baby animals. Rosemary and Bill especially enjoyed the relaxing change of pace, including a picnic lunch. The day came to a happy end as the girls stopped to see Santa himself who promised that he would be making his usual stops in just a few short weeks. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND YOU "Happy Birthday, Heather Feather" read the inscription on Miss Beltz's delicious pink and white cake as the little lady and her friends gathered to celebrate her seventh year. Talented dad Leroy supervised the game playing and provided the background music by doing his famous concertina solo. Nancy Pratt won the old "drop the marble in the ther­ mos" while Debbie Holtz was a double winner as she swept musical chairs and hot potato. Among the many voices that united in song on Heather's special day were: brother Leroy, Nancy Pratt, Debbie Holtz, Jill and Laura Saunders, Eddie Wegener, Stacy Gueths, Kim Middleton, Kristin Johnson, Paulette Canady, Brian Hoven, Alex Van- derlinden and Jason Profitt. Best wishes for many happy days. "Neither rain nor gloom nor dark of night..." was the motto etched in the hearts and minds of six anxious kids looking out the window as the steady downfall never seemed to end. But alas-the gray clouds were swept away, the rain ceased and the sun broke through in a modern miracle. Thus the happy sextet, Scott Fullmer, Cathy and Ray Hoglund, Sue Mahon, Joe Mroz and John Wegener, along with harried oldsters, Ray and Cheri, and tag-alongs, Jill, Kris and Eric, headed for that fabled playground of the midwest to celebrate young Ray's thirteenth year. It was all it is said to be and more with continuous fun. Narry a ride was missed, a show unseen, or taste treat untried during the day long marathon. 'But wait! The celebration goes on, for following day the birthday bo; plus Mike, Scott, Joe John and Billy DeWitt struck terror in the hearts of ten lone pins standing defiantly at the end of a slick, glossy alley with no place to go. Showing no mercy the boys did indeed knock 'em down with birthday lad bowling a high of 121, thanks to the generosity of his friends. The reward for such good work was cake and ice cream with talk of next year's party. SCHOOL DAZE Kelly Wegener and Tim Hughes, two of our promising young citizens^ beat both the odds and tough competition last week as they brought their intense campaigns to a close and awaited the results of the Future Business Leaders of America, pleased with the tally. Tim took the office of president by a landslide and Kelly emerged victorious in the battle for vice-president. Congratulations to both. Montini's seventh and eighth grade flag football team went down to defeat to the Rich­ mond-Burton team in a first game 35-14 loss. John Wegener who plays back for the Montini team did his best to support his mates but it just wasn't good enough to stop the rolling of­ fense. Take hearts guys, the season is just beginning and you'll have better luck next time. The 4 Aces 4-H club is alive and well in Holdiay Hills. A new year opened Sept. 14 at the home of Erna Novak.

HAVE A NICE DAY Travel And Adventure Series Opens Oct. 18 The Kiwanis club of Crystal Lake is presenting its first Travel and Adventure series which will include four nationally known Vadventurers and explorers who are artists in the travelogue field. They appear on such major plat­ forms as National Geographic, Washington, D.C.; Town Hall, New York; Orchestra hall, Chicago; and Town hall, San Francisco. Each is a professional photographer with many years experience in traveling and filming the many beautiful and interesting places around the world. These personally filed, all-color motion pictures are especially popular because the man who shot the picture, appears on the stage, in person, and narrates his film. In ad­ dition to the thrilling motion pictures and the personal narration, many of the travelogues include a musical background and special sound effects for added enjoyment and realism. A season ticket for all four travelogues is offered at a low price for Senior Citizens. The first of the series will be given Tuesday, Oct. 18, in the Crystal Lake high school auditorium, 45 Franklin street, Crystal Lake at 7:30 p.m. Individual and season admission tickets are available at the door.
