Lakemoor-Lilvmoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Select Courthouse For Preservation Workshop SECTION 2 - PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. APRIL 12 1«78 Cyclist-Safe Access To Park Village Concern Toni Yerkes called with a serious concern about the danger bicycle riders face. With the 11 miles of bike trails in the Moraine Hills state park in our back yard, many of us would like to use them. The •V entrance to the park is on River road, and there is no way to get there from here in safety. \ Plans are made for the repair of Lily Lake road. How about making one shoulder gravelled like the park trails for the use of the bicyclists? Then the children and adults could save energy by using human energy without being in fear of being run over by traffic. This lack of safe biking areas along roads and highways is the main reason parents are un­ willing to allow their children to use bikes to go anyplace. Even practiced cyclists face danger on any of our road. Perhaps by contacting road supervisors, township, county and state, we could impress safety and conservation needs on our governments. Biking is great, so let's make it safe. CAST TIME Missy Mumma did not have just a sprained ankle as a result of getting her foot caught in the fork of her tricycle as reported. Ten days after the original diagnosis, Missy had more X- rays taken, which showed the ankle broken in three places. She now has a cast on her leg which will be with her for four weeks, but which does not slow her down one bit. At least Missy is young enough not to remember the pain. Mommy Mumma will probably have the cast all decorated with her artisitc painting. What a wall-hanging that would make! NATURE NOTES Everyone along Fox river has plain old Mallards and even some Canadian geese. But we at Lily Lake have "woodducks", which give us lots of en­ joyment. These birds are smaller than the average duck, grey-brown-tan, more like oversize mourning doves. As they fly up to roost in the tree branches 20 to 30 feet above ground level, they resemble sideways helicopters. Their bodies are erect and the wings look like rotors. And there they sit, high in the trees, surveying the countryside and talking to their mates. Haven't even noticed any difference in coloring between the male and female. They must be ahead of the current human unisex culture. Any other reports of amusing, unusual or in­ teresting creatures around? HAPPY DAYS Ray Embrey is celebrating his birthday April 16. We are grateful that this productive gentleman is still active in our community. A young lady, Jennifer Gosell has her day April 17. The following day, Gloria Cassell's mother, Florence Mix, adds another year. Little Marina (Missy) Mumma will be a whole 2 years old April 19. The anniversary couple is Helen and Ed Povidas, who celebrate April 17. May all the days of celebrations be happy times for all. SUN DAY Solar energy and how it can be used for everyone's benefit is the basic subject matter for the country-wide Poster contest that is sponsored locally by the McHenry County Defenders. The contest deadline is Saturday, April 15. Posters may be turned in at the McHenry Nunda library on Lily Lake road. Winners will be announced Sun day, May 3. Ideas to make conservation of our natural resources ex­ citing and fun are needed to remind all of us that using more leaves less.-- NEW MEMBERS Betty and Lloyd Tomlinson had a happy event occur for their memory book. The husbands of two of their daughters were officially ac­ cepted into membership at Faith Presbyterian church at the same service. Gerald Ewig, Shirley's husband, and Mike Hodges, Karen's spouse, completed their instruction sessions and are now members of the growing family at Faith. Lloyd is through with his hospital tests. His activities are limited due to a heart condition, but we're sure he will still be working on his car and doing what he is able to. L.L.L.L. Lu Gravenstuk, publicity chairman, was not at the Ladies League business meeting last Wednesday, because she was not feeling well. After the business of the evening was completed, bunco was played. The prize winners were Anna Brzezinski, Carol Voelke and Connie O'Rourke Sophie Paterson managed to get the booby prize. Everyone also enjoyed the efforts of hostesses Mildred Narcarti and Julia Kraus. LOSS Walter Biehl, a resident of Lakemoor for over 22 years, died April 4 at the Woodstock Residence. He had celebrated his eighty-ninth birthday, so was a neighbor who had lived in two centuries. Sympathy is extended to his family, including four grand­ children and four great grandchildren. GET WELL WISHES Louis Schueler is hoem from the hospital, receiving tender loving care from his dear wife, Lorraine. Carl Stromley is also in need of some of the same. His wife, Jackie, has been with her ill toother, so it has been a difficult time for them. Happy to see that Don Hip- well is no longer hobbling around due to a strained ankle. May good health abound in everyone's home.

Cleanup Crew To Tackle Lake Decay-Debris If you are driving in the area of the lake and wonder what that aroma is, it is the smell of our open lake. The combination of decaying weeds and dead fish makes quite an odor. A cleanup crew will be out trying to tidy up the beaches. If you are interested in giving a hand please contact William Winkel as this will be a two-or-three weekend project. If you were watching the news, pictures of Long Lake were shown with the many, many dead fish floating. Let's hope that what we have is all we get.

Heading for the backyard to put up that antenna for your base unit? Watch out for power lines, good buddy. Most power lines are twenty feet off the ground, but the ones to your house may be as low as 10 feet. So don't take any chances. When installing your CB antenna (or a new TV antenna), avoid putting it "anywhere in the vicinity of any overhead lines. And provide enough space around it to prevent the wind from blowing it into the lines later. If you look up and steer clear, you can look forward to a sweet 10-2.
