STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Golf School For Ladies t •' Comes To McHenry C,C. The Craft-Zavichas Golf school for ladies comes to - McHenry Country club next week. Two professionals are Linda Craft and Penny Zavichas. And what a classy and unique career they have created for themselves. Both ladies were bitten by the "golf bug" rather late in life; Linda picked up her first club at age 26, Penny at 19. Most tour players begin their training at five to eight years of age. So both girls realistically set their goals, knowing that while they might not set the world on fire or become household names, they could hold their own out on tour. And that they did, while touring over five years each, against daily competition with Kathy Whitworth, Mickey Wright, Judy Rankin and JoAnn ear­ ner. It is said that the knowledge gained on the tour can't be bought for a million dollars-- the mental side of the game, the pressure shots, being able to develop and maintain a golf swing that would hold up day after day. Put the knowledge together with a special talent for communicating with students and you have the Golf School for Ladies. This school is the world's first traveling ladies golf school, covering country clubs and resorts all over the United States, Canada and Mexico. Now beginning their sixth year, Linda and Penny have taught over 4,000 ladies, as well as men and juniors, all ages, all handicaps. Linda and Penny are bringing this unique school into the area. The school will be held at McHenry Country club, on the dates of July 6 and 7. Enrollment is full. The school includes in­ struction mi putting, chipping, pitching sand, all irons, woods and uneven lies. It's a full course on "How to cure" that hook, slice, topped shot and loss of distance. The Craft-Zavichas Golf School for Ladies is an exhilarating shot in the arm. It rejuvenates anyone's golf game. About all that is required is a desire to play better golf. Sound idea, ladies and congratulations! Spend Some Of Your... Life Outdoors •V With Colonel Bill Independence day is just around the corner. Falling on Tuesday, it may offer you a four-day weekend. In­ dependence in 1776 was a lot different than that which we enjoy at present. Picnics, parades, speeches, fireworks andu other outdoor en­ tertainment represent today's celebration of the holiday. Independence day has a family connotation that in­ cludes lots of outdoor activity in yards, parks and streets. A by­ product, of course, is that the long weekend allows travel and a short family vacation. There is plenty to do in suburban communities on July 4 and no reason to travel, seeking en­ tertainment. Driving the high­ ways, however, has taken its toll of lives and accidents. This day is annually regarded with concern by highway traffic safety personnel. - You may fortify your wise decision to stay home by considering car operational cost statistics from the A m e f i c t n A u t o m o b i l e association. They state we midwesterners, in con­ sideration of our car prices, taxes, .insurance, depreciation, maintenance and fuel, pay over 19 cents per mile to drive. This assumes a midsized, eight cylinder vehicle...so, that too, is a consideration in favor of a- stay-in-town holdiay. The leisure market is ex­ pected to reach $300 billion in the next seven years. Two income families and the shorter work week bring more people outdoors to enjoy the average leisure time, which now ap­ proaches 123 days annually. That's a third of the year and due partially to longer vacations offered as fringe benefits for employment among 23 million workers who get three or more weeks per year. Fishing takes a lot of folks on pleasure trips, including some 21 million women. These same gals are part of the estimated 58 million overnight campers, a number that has tripled in ten years. Now 47 percent of the population between 15 and 30 camp as part of their leisure enjoyment. Half the campers in their 20's are single and seeking freedom from job pressures. They look upon the outdoors as therapy, because it provides a sense of personal achievement away from overorganized activities. This creates a feeling of independence and self reliance...which brings us right back to July 4, In­ dependence day. Boating is another large outdoor interest that likes Independence. In 1977, nearly SOFTBALL PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JUNE It, INt^ eight million pleasure boats were registered with various agencies. That represents a growth of over 300,000 boats in one year, yet accidents and injuries are down for the same period. Deaths are up slightly over 1976, but down from 1975. It indicates boaters are being more careful and thoughtful of their water rights...and one another. Independence day reminds us of our responsibility to be a good and. thoughtful citizen. On the extra day, you might like to* explore Wheaton's Cantigny, the 500-acre estate of the late Robert McCormick. Ten acres of gardens include groupings of trees, shrubs and flowers. McCormick museum is rich in local history. The first division Museum contains artifacts of this famous Army unit which gave 24,000 lives that we may continue to celebrate Independence day. Entrance is on Winfield road just north of R o o s e v e l t . . F r e e a d - mission...call 668-5161. Listen to Colonel Bill week days with the news at 12:15 and 5:05 on WTAQ.

John Ray Old Bridge Defeats Sunnyside. 9-4 The Old Bridge Softball club got off to a slow start and didn't get rolling the entire game, but still managed to get by Sun­ nyside Inn, 9-4, in Tuesday night's first game. The Bridge, fresh off a tournament win last weekend, was guilty of five errors in the first two innings and allowed Sunnyside to score 4 runs with the help of only one base hit, a triple by Steve Farley. The Bridge scored four times in the first inning, thanks to a single by Doug Freund, an error, a walk to Joe Dehn and singles by Ron Miller and Steve Rohrer. The game moved quickly after the first two innings as the score remained tie at 4-4, until Old Bridge batted in the fifth inning. A single by John Pitzen, a fielder's choice, a walk to Doug Freund, and a two-out, two-run single by Tom Les gave the Bridge the lead for good at 6-4. In the sixth, Rick Wakitsch led off with a walk, Greg Freund followed with a single and Ron Miller hit a base hit to left. Before the play ended, all three runners had scored as alert baserunning by Ron Miller earned Old Bridge another run when he ran in from third base when no one from Sunnyside was covering the plate. Steve Farley with a triple and a double led Sunnyside, who managed only four hits in the contest. The Inn played consistent defense throughout the game, but were plagued as has been the case all season, by a lack of hitting. Old Bridge played probably their poorest game of the season, and still never trailed in the contest. For the Bridge, Ron Miller with 2 hits, 3 RBI's and 2 runs scored paced the attack. Steve Rohrer added two hits for the Bridge, who had only eight hits in the game. Fox Hole Wins Again To Remain in First Fox Hole defeated Cop­ permine, 8-3, in Tuesday's second game, to move ahead of Hautzinger and into first place by themselves, pending the outcome of Thursday night's Hautzinger vs. Johnsburg game. Coppermine opened the game by scoring 2 runs in the first inning. „ Singles by Jim Grabowski and Chuck Marke and an error by Fox Hole center fielder Gary Fairchild gave Coppermine the lead. The lead changed hands quickly, as Fox Hole came back by scoring 4 times in their half of the first and once in the second. In the first, an error, hits by Dick Meyers, Denny Smith and Dave Smith, and two fielder's choices scored four runs, while in the second, Twig Miller singled and sewed on a single by Dick Kazlausky. The score remained 5-2, until the Fox Hole fourth. Tom Janik tripled and scored on a fly out. Gary Fairchild, who appears to be shaking a early season slump, rapped out the first of his two' singles and scored following an error and a ground out, to give Fox Hole a 7-2 lead. Coppermine scored once in the sixth as did Fox Hole and the final score read, Fox Hole 8, Coppermine 3. • Denny Smith paced Fox Hole with a perfect 3 hits in 3 at-bats game. Dave Smith had two hits, as did Steve Lane, Fairchild and Miller. For Coppermine, Jim Grabowski went 2 for 3, with a run scored. Coppermine had only six hits in the game, all singles.

Coppermine Loses Second Game Of The Night Coppermine lost its second game of the night, when it lost to Johnsburg Tavern, 14-6, in the third game Tuesday night. The third game was a make-up game for a game originally scheduled for June 20 that was rained out. Johnsburg moved on top in the first inning, when Jim Meyers who enjoyed a perfect 4 for 4 game stroked a double and scored on a hit by Ted Freund. Two fly balls scored Freund and Johnsburg held a 2-0 lead. Coppermine came back with 3 runs in their half of the first. Consecutive hits by Grabowski, Steve Himplemann, and Tom Cosky and an error by Freund of Johnsburg keyed the inning. Johnsburg tied the game in the third inning after an error, a single by Jim Meyers and a fly out. In the fourth, Johnsburg scored twice to take a 5-3 lead. A single by Don Bentz, a Coppermine error, and a single by Wayne Frantz netted both runs. Coppermine retaliated with a run in their half of the inning after Dan Jamieaon led off with a single.' Singles by Mike Peterson and Dave Oeffling followed to score the run. Johnsburg put the game away in the fifth when they scored 6 runs. Singles by Bill Oeffling, Meyers, Freund, Myron Bentz, and Lloyd Smith, an error, and a double by Frantz put the game on ice. Johnsburg added three more runs in the sixth, when Meyers singled, Freund singled, Phil Oeffling reached on an error, and Don feentz singled. Coppermine scored once in the seventh, but it was too late and Johnsburg won, 14-6. Jim Meyers led Johnsburg with his 4 for 4 day, with 3 runs scored and an RBI. Ted Freund added 3 hits and 3 runs scored, and Don Bentz had 2 hits and 3 RBI's and Frantz 2 hits and 2 RBI's. For Coppermine, Jim Grabowski had 2 hits and 2 runs, and Mike Peterson and Dave Oeffling had 2 hits.

Producers Participate In . \ Farm Storage Space Survey Producers are currently participating in a survey which will help determine the amount of storage space on farms in McHenry county. The survey is being conducted by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS). Jim Lucas, an official of the agency, said the information is needed to determine whether sufficient storage space is available for the 1978 harvest and also for the grain reserve program. Questionnaires requesting storage data have been mailed to all farm operators. "Most farmers have responded favorably to the request, and about 17 percent of them have answered the questions and returned the form." Lucas said. ASCS loaned money to farmers to construct more than half a billion bushels of storage capacity last year. However, there is limited knowledge of how much space existed before, or how much has been built on farms through private finan­ cing, he said. "We are not interested in knowing how many bins any individual farmer has; but we do need to know how many bushels can be stored on the farms," Lucas said. The data is m- ME I, will be used strictly for the; purpose for which it is in­ tended, and any recoil identifying an individual mer will be destroyed, ASCS official said. A large 1978 crop could plRciq: considerable pressure on" storage facilities, particularly in areas where tight storage, conditions existed last fall ? "With this information, we wfll attempt to find out where tbf handling and storage problems, could show up during harvest^'». Commercial facilities are being ) surveyed by ASCS and the Economics, Statistics apd.n Cooperatives service <ESC$ifr, Tax Bi l l Has Passed Senate A "Proposition 13" for Illinois senior citizens is just two steps from enactment. The bill will virtually guarantee that property tax bills for all seniors earning less than $15,000 won't increase unless their income increases. Because of an amendment offered by State Represen­ tatives Cal Skinner, Jr. (R- McHenry County) and Dave Jones (R-Springfield), House Bill 2707 will mean higher real estate tax rebates for the over 400,000 now receiving benefits under the state's Circuit Breaker program. In addition, seniors with household incomes from $10,000 to $15,000 will be eligible for real estate tax relief for the first time. As introduced by Rep. Ed­ mund Kornowicy (D-Chicago), House Bill 2707 would have allowed those who missed applying for Circuit Breaker benefits for 1972-1977 to do so through the end of 1978. As amended, the bill virtually "solves" the problems senior*.: < and the disabled have with sky­ rocketing real estates taxft, according to Skinner. The biU'a i, amendment mandates thpi" Revenue department to rebtfe". all real estate taxes exceeding^, percent of a senior or han­ dicapped citizen's income as long as their income is less then $15,000. At present, rebates art ", limited to those earning taMV* than $10,000and rebates are not/', made for all property taxes over 4 percent of household income, the maximum rebate:-* remains $650, ... 1% Computer Costs Down Computer computations thaj^ cost $3 to perform 25 years ago; can now be done for less thanjjv' penny, in some instances. ° CONTRACTOR'S COWMEN!
