That would feed a lot of hungry kids in impoverished countries. The kids of this generation have become entranced with the fast food spots.

Nutritional values nothing to the kids. mean Now some preparing foods cities are that appeal The world has changed so if you can't beat 'em, you join 'em. In our day the kids from rural areas were privileged to bring a lunch to school in a brown bag. If you went home to lunch, you didn't tell your mother what you would eat. You ate what was put in front of you. But, this is today. Yesteryear was when the parents ran the show. Take your pick. Be modern or an old fogey. A few hardy golfers are out on the courses these days. Somebody told them that spring is here. Oh, well - hand warmers, ear muffs and winter jackets help.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD MENS 16" SOFTBALL (Note: This is the first in a series of articles previewing the eight teams in the Men's 16" SoftbaH League.) Winner of the league and playoffs last year and the loser of only one game all season, the Johnsburg Tavern (formerly Hettermann's) is the preseason favorite to repeat as champions of the league. Although two starters are gone from last year's team (Rick Wakitsch and Joe Dehn will be playing for the Old Bridge this year), Johnsburg tavern is expected to be strong enough to retain its hold on first place. Again this year, the former Hettermann's team will be led by the three Bentz brothers. Don Bentz, the oldest brother and one of the better players ever to play in the McHenry league, returns for yet another season although he could be stationed at a different position this year. A shortstop last year, reports indicate that Bentz could be transferred to first base in an effort to keep his bat in the lineup His brother Myron, last year's first baseman and the league's premier defensive first baseman for many seasons, may move to third base this year. The powerful right-handed hitter got off to a fast start in '77 and finished as league's leading hitter. Mark Bentz, the youngest of the trio and who played third base last year, is expected to move to shortstop this year to complete the defensive switch of the brothers. He is a hard hitter with good power to all fields. There is some concern as to whether the former third baseman will be quick enough to handle shortstop. If not, Johnsburg tavern management may decide to return all three to their original positions. Wayne Hiller, all-star short- center fielder a year ago, will again anchor the middle of the infield. Hiller has been a defensive standout since joining the league and is a definite offensive threat as well. Second baseman Ted Freund returns and is expected to rebound from last year's off- year at the plate. Although his batting average slumped, Freund is still con­ sidered one of the better clutch hitters on the club. Bill Oeffling, another holdover from last year's team will again patrol center field. Oeffling may be a step or two slower than in years past, but INOW HEAR THIS!

McHenry 385-9831 his thorough knowledge of other hitters in the league and the ability to get a good jump on the ball make him an excellent center fielder. Pitcher Jim Meyers is the man who makes the team go. A left-handed hitter and leadoff man, Meyers is a good baserunner and if he has a good year Johnsburg tavern will be tough to beat. The remaining outfield positions will be manned by either Phil Oeffling, Jerry Miller or Tom Spasovich. Oeffling started last year in right field, but may move to left to fill the void created by the departure of Dehn. Formerly an infielder, last year was Oeffling's first year as an outfielder and some league observers question if he is experienced enough to move to left field. His left-handed hitting will earn him a place somewhere in the lineup, whether it be infield or outfield. Although used sparingly last year, Miller may crack the starting lineup this year. A strong throwing arm permits him to play any of the outfield positions and he may be used to stengthen the team's outfield defensively. Spasovich was acquired from the Old Bridge where he played outfield last year. A strong hitter for many years, he is expected to play outfield and see some action as catcher. Wayne Frantz will probably open the season as catcher. A teammate of Spasovich's last year, Frantz was a pitcher and will be backup pitcher this year and may even start a game if Meyers is moved to a fielding position. Harry May. who saw action at numerous positions in the infield last year, returns again cast in a supportive role. May is a left-handed hitter whose ability to play different positions is an added benefit. Determining a defensive lineup is one problem facing the team's management. Some players are getting older and slowing down a bit, which may necessitate the defensive realignment. The experienced personnel coupled with a winning tradition established by win­ ning the league championship more than any other team in league history makes the Johnsburg Tavern the preseason favorite to repeat as champions of the league. The only unanswered question is whether or not advancing age will outweigh the experience and tradition.
