DREDGE PICNIC The dredge is on the lake and all events occurred on schedule, due to the great engineers and tremendous efforts of the McCullom Lake Conservation club. The , weather was co operative and provided an almost perfect fall day for the picnic. Mrs. William Buhrman got her feet wet as she walked out in the water to christen the dredge "Miss Dug Out of The Year" with a bottle of champagne. The name "Miss Dug-Out of The Year" was one of the many interesting name entries picked out by a panel of judges. The winner of the "name the dredge" contest was Pat Buhrman who resides in Lakeland Park. There were many nice donated items to help make the auction a success, and auctioneer Herb Heritage did a fantastic job with his many helpers. During a brief intermission in the auction, Dave Hansen held up a beautiful Northern Pike that was caught in our lake recently. The pike weighed in at 14 lbs. and was 39 inches in length. That healthy fish was caught by George Richert who also donated a large bag of some really nice bass that he pulled out of our lake.

Spotlite on Lakeland Park Support Of Human Life And Dignity Oct. 2 through Oct. 8 has been declared Respect Life week in the State of Illinois by the General Assembly. Traditionally, the Pro-Life Movement across the country celebrates Respect Life week during the first week of October. The resolution issued by the State called upon people during this time to "prayerfully consider the sanctity of ail human life whose procreation we are entrusted with by Divine Providence" and designates Respect Life week "for the purpose of assuring a collective appreciation and mobilization of the efforts of social forces in support of human life and dignity." Mrs. Donna Whitefield, chairwoman of McHenry county Citizens for Life says, "We believe the life of each person is sacred, the born and the unborn, the old and the young, tiie healthy and the sick, the gifted and the d i s a d v a n t a g e d v O u r association newsletter for fifteen years. Mrs. Kadisch also belongs to the McHenry Legion Auxiliary, the Order of the Eastern Star, and the* McCullom Lake Conservation club. As to why she is so involved in the community, Mrs Radisch said, "The funniest thing is that I hated clubs. But I was blind for two years and I thought that if I could possibly do something to help someone, it would be worthwhile." Mrs. Radisch has since overcome blindness, through a series of operations, but continues to serve her community. "I'm trying to be helpful when I can," she said "I enjoy being with people. I love people." Her husband passed away about thirteen years ago, but Mrs. Radisch still has quite an army of relatives. She has two daughters, one son, ten grandchildren, and one great grandchild. "I really can't say I have any hobbies," she noted. However, she is presently using any spare moments she has making itenfts for the annual bazaar at the church. "I do a little crocheting and knitting, but I am far from an expert along these lines. "I also enjoy traveling whenever I get a chance," she added. "I try to take trips with the McHenry Senior Citizens club, and also with the Vagabond club of McHenry." For relaxation, Mrs. Radisch enjoys doing crossword puzzles, finding that they make her think. She also enjoys reading. Of course, persons who know her are well aware that Mrs. Radisch can't have a lot of time for crossword puzzles and reading. Few persons have taken a more active role in the community than Lyda Radisch, both in Lakeland Park and in the entire McHenry area. by JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist from the Family Service end Mentil Health Clinic of McHenry County -- Lyda Radisch The community of Lakeland Staff photos by Waykie Gaylord organization will continue in its efforts to bring this message through bring this m home to the people educational efforts." "I use not only all the brains I have, but all I can borrow." -Woodrow Wilson GIGANTIC FABRIC WE'RE CLEARING THEM OUT! Park is unique in that, while it is a part of McHenry, it still maintains somewhat a separate identity. It has its own Property Owners association, its own Women's club, and even its own lake. Lyda Radisch is a resident of Lakeland Park, and she belongs to the Property Owners association and the Women's club. But Mrs. Radisch's contributions to the community extend much further than the borders of Lakeland Park. In her, we find one of the more active women in the entire area, and one who believes totally in community service. Her list of credentials, is impressive. Since moving to McHenry twenty-two years ago, she has been a member of the First United Methodist church. In the church, she has been chairman of the Circle, a religious group, for* about twenty years, secretary of the United Methodist Women, membership secretary of the church, charter member of the Friendship club, and belongs to THEOS (To Help Each Other Smile). Besides her church involvement, she is also a charter member of the McHenry Senior Citizens club, and has served as historian and publicity chairman few more than nine years. She has served on the Social committee. Story series by Jeff Bonato almost *nce the beginning of the club, and played In the infamous "kitchen band", which „ has since been discontinued. Residents of Lakeland Park know her best as treasurer of the Women's club, a position she held for fifteen years. She also handles the publicity for the club, and is really quite adept as a journalist. She was treasurer of the Lakeland Park Property Owners association for eight years, and was editor of the (Editor's note: This is the forty-seventh in a series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health center staff. This article is "Coping - Divorce.") From early childhood (me of the mo6t powerful fears that develop in a person is the threat of loss of love. To a child, the loss of love from an angry parent is the punishment that is most dreaded. Of course the loss of love from a parent seldom becomes reality. In most families the child becomes reassured that his parents do love him. In divorce, however, the threat becomes reality; in many cases either the husband or wife does not want the divorce and is faced with the devastation of loss of love. This facing up to the loss of love becomes the "focal point of trauma in many divorces. It is the reason for most of the a c c u s a t i o n s a n d rationalizations that seem all but inevitable, even in "civilized" divorces. If divorce becomes a reality, the person who did not want the divorce, again is faced with the ultimate punishment of complete and irreversible loss of love. Most people in this position will tend to generalize their particular situation to the point where they are asking themselves whether they are the kind of person that anyone could love. While this process of self- doubt and questioning is normal under " the circumstances, it is one that must be worked through. Ultimately, the end product of this working through is taking the risk of loving and being loved by another person. The risk is great indeed, for it means subjecting oneself to the possibility of rejection again. Fortunately, human beings are also noted for their strengths and most choose to take the risk rather than remain embittered and lonely. The choice to love again must be accompanied by some insight as to what went wrong the first time. A relationship born of desperation is often worse than no relationship at all.
