| McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344-1575 •mission Of 'oper Permit Assures Fine News coming from the Oct. 11 meeting of the village board is that residents are not getting building permits like they should. Anyone building or remodeling in any way should contact either Tom Farrell or Frank Kurth, or get a copy of the McHenry county Building ordinance, which is available at the county courthouse for a nominal fee, and find out if a permit is required. The ordinance states that if you do not obtain a permit when one is needed, you must pay a fine totaling 100 percent of the cost of the permit, plus the permit cost itself. This will be in effect and enforced from here on out in the village, ac­ cording to the board. So, get a permit if you need one. It won't cost that much (you'll be surprised at how little), and it could save you twice that cost. On the lighter side, it was brought up at the board meeting that things seem to get a little slow around here in the cold months, and it might be exciting to do a little something for exercise now and then. One idea was to form an adult volleyball and-or basketball team, to play for fun, or to challenge other local teams. If anyone would be interested in this idea, please contact Gene Huff, and we'll see if we can get this thing off the ground. It sounds like a lot of fun.. WATCH v Look for something new to start at the Moose hall Monday nights beginning Oct. 24. Y'aU be there, and I promise you won't be disappointed. THE END You might notice someone sitting next to Ben Gates from now on as he travels through the village and town. That someone is Vi Gates, his wife, who has recently retired from the work force. Now, Vi is taking life easy, being a lady of leisure for awhile. If you're looking for something to do, Vi, the Beach Gals always could use an extra hand. BEACH GALS Decorating the beach house and spook house for the childrens' Halloween party is set for Friday night, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m.. We need everybody down there helping out, so do your shopping early on Friday afternoon or Saturday mor­ ning, have a pizza sent in, or go out for hamburgers, and be down at the beach house at 7 p.m. See you there. LADIES OF THE LAKE The Ladies of the Lake held their Halloween party Thur­ sday, Oct. 13, in place of their regular meeting. Doughnuts and cider were served, and a few of the ladies came in costume, which made the evening even more fun_ The Ladies' next meeting will be Nov. 10, and anyone in­ terested in joining the Ladies of the Lake is invited to attend.

White Stockings A report from the Illinois State journal of Oct. 29, 1877 included some interesting comments on that year's baseball season, according to the newspaper files of the Illinois State Historical society. "The baseball season of 1877 is in its dotage," the century-old sports page reports. "A few games are still being played as exhibitions, and for the purpose of adding a few dollars more to help the depleted (club) treasuries." The Chicago White Stockings' loss for the season was estimated at $6,000 and the Louisville players had not been paid for three months. "To keep a club on the road costs at least fifty-five dollars a day for railroad fare, hotel expenses, etc. to say nothing of salaries. The public has this season indicated that it will not sup­ port such a costly amusement." The Historical society keeps microfilm files of many Illinois newspapers.
