Anticipation is on the face of McHenry's Connie LeLeux as she prepares to return the ball during her No. 2 singles match Tuesday afternoon against North Chicago. What she didn't anticipate was darkness ruining her exciting match. The McHenry senior lost the McHenry Hosts 8-Team Tennis Meet Saturday McHenry Invitational Tennis tournament will be held this Saturday on the West campus pourts, starting at 10 a.m. ' The tourney, which was washed out last week by rain and cold weather, features several strong teams from the area, including Dundee, which captured its own invitational tournament a couple of weeks ago. ' McHenry finished in a tie for second in the Dundee meet, and head coach Barb Popovich is hopeful her team can do as well or better than it did in the Dundee tourney. Other teams in the McHenry meet include Elgin, Elgin Larkin, Wauconda, Antioch, Jacobs, and Grant. In a tune-up for Saturday, the Warriors toppled North Chicago 3-2 Tuesday afternoon. The victory featured the sparkling comeback win of Lisa Jackson, who rallied from a 6-4 first set loss, to win her No. 1 singles match 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. The one singles victory was all McHenry needed, as both doubles teams recorded wins. The consistent play of Kristi Stanell and Sue Hutchinson at No. 1 doubles continued, as they won their match 6-0, 6-1. At No. 2 doubles, Barb Cuna and Carol Latz were easy 6-0,6- 0 winners. Connie LeLeux, playing No. 2 singles, lost an unusual match when darkness forced a tie­ breaker to be played after the sets were divided at one apiece= LeLeux lost the tie-breaker, and therefore the match even though a complete third set was not played. At No. 3 singles, Prise ilia Kasprzyk was defeated 6-0, 6-1. £ Meet The Athletes Art Bentz (football) Jeff Anderson (football) Tim Oakley (football) This week's group of athletes includes a tight end who enjoys snow-skiing, a lineman who wants to be a police officer, and a halfback who performed throughout the summer in a band at Great America. Art Bentz During this Saturday's football game, unless it is a punting situatioDf don't look over to the McHenry bench and expect to sffe No. 62. That's because Art Bentz is a < two-way performer for the Warrior football team, playing offensive guard as well as the defensive line. The son of Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Bentz of Pistakee Highlands, Art earned a varsity football letter last year, and plans to attend college following graduation next spring. His course of study? Art wants to get into law enforcement, saying that he has been giving it consideration for the last several years. Besides playing football, he enjoys hunting, fishing,...just about all outdoor sports. His father is in the Air Force, meaning that Art has traveled all around the country. He was born in Peurto Rico, and has lived in California. Believe it or not, he says he likes McHenry better than California, although he quickly adds that although he lived in California, he wasn't near the coast and all it ever did was rain. Jeff Anderson A Wonder Lake resident for fifteen years, Jeff is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Anderson. This is his third year of football at McHenry, having played as a freshman at Marian Central. He was the starting tight end last Friday night, and says that he prefers tight end to split end, which he played last year. Why? "I like the contact," he explained. Jeff says he has been snow-skiing since he was in the fourth grade, and also enjoys hunting. Following graduation, he will attend Rockford Community college, studying to become an airline mechanic. He has chosen to become an airline mechanic because he is interested in planes and doesn't want to make the commitment at this time to become a pilot. Tim Oakley Those who visited Great America this summer probably saw quite a bit of Tim Oakley--and didn't even know it. That's because Tim was a member of the Yankee Harbor Drill team, which marched during Mardi Gras weekend nights, and performed near the boat flume during the day. Hie son of Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Oakley, Tim plays the flute in the school band and is also a member of the school chorus. This is his fourth year of football at McHenry, and this year he has played both halfback and wingback. At this time next year, Tim expects to be in college somewhere, studying engineering. He selected that field of study because he likes science and math. :::: | 1 I s I l $ V. i :£ % Local Beer A bill to provide a potentially life-saving tax break for the last small independent brewery in Illinois has been approved by Gov.

FRIEND In Nairobi, Kenya, youngsters averaging twelve years of age and known as "parking boys," roam the streets in bands. Dirty, hungry, and ragged, they are filled with hate because they have never known love. But one man is winning their trust. Father Arnold Grol of the White Fathers saw them as human beings who needed help. The boys, mostly from tribes outside Nairobi, sleep in the streets, in caves or under bushes. They scurry to make a few shillings by finding parking spaces for unwilling motorists. Some are jailed for vagrancy. Father Grol, who had been working among the city's poor and had established three youth centers, saw that reaching the "Parking Boys" wouldn't be so easv. They trusted no one. First he sought contributions of clothing. He told the boys that on a Monday morning clothes would be distributed in Uhuru park. Ragged little bands showed up - their need for love and help showing through the distrust. Next came showers and medical care, with the help of the Red Cross. Then the priest asked them what they wanted. To his surprise, the majority asked for education. He secured teaching volunteers, donations of school' materials, and space for classes. Sixty to eighty boys come regularly to school every morning, but still have to earn money in the streets. And new "parking boys" keep appearing. In meeting immediate needs, the efforts of Father Grol and an assistant are not enough. So a National Committee on Parking Boys, with members from several international organizations, have been formed to help. Father Grol has a goal of ten small communities in which boys will cook, clean, and garden, and be trained in a trade. Three are under way. Love is always a beginning. Is there someone you could help by caring more? This picture came to the Plaindealer sports section from Lit (Miller) Wirch whose father, Joe E. (Bullet Joe) Miller, is shown as one of the players. This is a Johnsburg team of long ago. Can yam help us Identify the players? School Legislation Two education bills, signed by Governor James R. Thompson, will be of special benefit to local school districts, State Superintendent Joseph Cronin, said recently. House Bill 691 permits a school district to use existing taxes, set aside for fire prevention and safety, for energy purposes if they are not needed for the completion of already approved safety projects. "The bill encourages school boards to spend funds on energy conservation measures, to repair boilers and add insulation to save on fuel bills," Cronin said. The second bill, HB 695, allows local districts to use the services of a realtor to sell school buildings it no longer needs. Officer School Conservation Police Offices' examinations will be given at four locations Oct. 21 and 22, to select eight to twelve new recruits for Conservation• Police Officer Training school;' For more information, contact: Illinois Department of Personnel, 500 Stratton office, building, Springfield, 62706. Generic Drugs Calling it "an important initial step toward the lowering of health care costs," Governor James Thompson recently signed HB 1650, the Generic Drug Bill. The legislation authorizes pharmacists to substitute, with the approval & • the person for whom a prescription has been written, a generic name drug of a lower cost for a brand name drug. Sponsors of the bill were Reps. William A. Marovitz, Chicago, and Lee A. Daniels, Elmhurst and Sen. Dawn Netsch, Chicago.
