PAGE 4 - PLAINDE ALER - WEDNESDAY. JULY 12,1978 \ Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Lake Beauty Objective Is Nearer Reality The benefit sponsored by Ron Scharff at the PM Pub in Lakemoor July 1, was a huge success in spite of the wet weather Dick Hyatt, Lakemoor president, opened up the municipal building for the auction. Auctioning off the many items donated by local business people were Ron and super-salesman Barry Baker, aided by work-aholic Maggie Dunnagan This resulted in bargains for many people, and assistance for insurance premiums for the Conservation club's dredging effort The club's treasury was doubled due to the hard work and generosity of Ron and Kathy, the donations, and the diligence of many LLCCI members. All you great people who entered into the spirit of the evening, wasn't it good to enjoy and know the results of your fun will go towards a beautiful, useable Lily Lake? Needed now is help with the spoils area Lots of wood has to be downed and disposed of. Ideas and-or muscles are essential. If you have either, contact Jerry Weber or Bruno Karas. If the trees are not removed, the area would not be large enough to receive all the spoils to be dredged from the lake. And there is no other area available, without using ex­ pensive trucking. Fencing for the spoils area is also a must As money, or lack of it, is a most pressing problem, anyone knowing of cheap (like in free* fencing, please call 385-4934 Edye Fitts has donated a luscious blue and white afghan, the proceeds from which will also go to the conservation effort We are on the way, with 50 percent of our monetary goal needed to start operations, accomplished Can't you envision a lake clean enough for swimming, deep enougn for fishing, and large enough for boating^ With concerted, caring cooperation, it can be done FAMILY AFFAIR The Al Ryan family will be having a clan party July 16. at the home built by Al's grand­ parents Members of the family and old neighborhood friends will enjoy a picnic and memory time The Ryan home was one of Lilymoor's original homes, built when this was primarily a summer recreation area. Third generation Al has fond memories of vacations spent swimming and fishing in the Lily Lake that was, and will be again. After grandfather Ryan's gath in 1960, the house was in lip Ryan's name. It was mostly vacant, and was used as a base for Lilymoor events, such as rummage sales. Al and Marilyn moved in in 1970. With lots of planning and hard labor they made it into a delightful home for daughter Kileen, the dog who thinks she is a person, and cat (now deceased), who thought he was a dog Furniture and memorabilia from the house will be auc­ tioned off at the family party, with proceeds going to charity. The Ryans will be leaving us for their new being-built home in Wisconsin, so the old place may soon be the ex-Ryan house The bits and pieces will go to members of the clan for a physical reminder of years gone by. BIRTHDAYS A very relaxed and healthy one is wished for Louis Schueler, husband of Laverne, (br is it Lorraine7) July 13. Theiy celebrated with a trip to Indianapolis Chris Sances, dear Sam's devoted wife, has her day the fourteenth. Will you be sampling some of that delicious red stuff your husband makes? Enjoy each other and your lovely home and yard Heidi Louise Kunz will be a big one year old July 15. Al Ryan also adds one year on the same day. Cindy Minton celebrates on the seventeenth of July. (Is that correct, Rusty?) Happiness is wished for you all. L.L.L.L. The Lily Lake Ladies league had their regular meeting last Wednesday, with their usual entertainment afterward. This evening of games found these winners: ConnieO'Rourke win, Anna Brzezinski place, Sophie Paterson show, and Joan Delatorre last but not least. Joan received the booby prize the last meeting, also Perhaps practice does not make one perfect9 , The hostesses were first prize winner Connie, and Helen Para who had just returned from visiting our fiftieth state. LOSS Rose Mary Blacher, the lady responsible for most real estate sales in Lakemoor since the old Sampson & Sex days, died July 5, in a McHenry nursing home Almost every resident of Lakemoor has a special memory of Rose Mary., Her family consists of three brothers and three sisters, not from our area Rose Mary served us for many of her 73 years, and her expertise and caring will be missed. One of our oldest residents died June 25. Benjamin DeCicco, Sr., spent 87 years in this world. Our sympathy is extended to son Ben. Jr., from Lakemoor. and his other four sons, three daughters, twenty- three grandchildren and great grandchildren. SONGSTRESS Talented teen-age Julie Cassell's ambition is to become a professional singer. Last Sunday, she was the soloist at the 8 and 10:30 services at the Methodist church, singing "Master Designer" from the musical "Tell It Like It Is". Many vocalists started careers in a church setting. With a commitment to Christ, who knows to what success Julie may be led. NEW NEIGHBORS A hello to dudy, Terry and little Wendy Bird on Steuben road. It's good to have the Birds living next door to the Woods! ALOHA Helen and Walter Para had a memorable 15 day vacation in Hawaii. Among the firsts they encountered was the plane flight. This added to the sheer excitement as Helen had never flown before. She was en­ tranced with ail four of the Islands they visited, each one seemingly more beautiful. The lava rock looked like pictures of the moon. Plants were growing amongst the lava, making it more eerie. One of the prettiest flowers seen was the "Silver Sword", which is being planted throughout the islands. There yvas too much to see to go swimming in the ocean but they did walk in the sand. Helen says it was "soft and deep", and gave such a feeling of joy WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ON SALE ITEMS DELLIIQU0RS MERCHANTS OF FINE WINES AND IIQUO BKgkoTWE 4610 W- rte- 120' McHENRY< i l l SALE GOOD WED., JULY 12 thru TUES., JULY 18 ARE FORCED TO AD JUST OUR EVERYDAY POP PRICES AS FOLLOWS: 8-16 OZ.

In Hilo, the sand was actually black. The only objection to Hawaii was the native food. The Paras tasted it, but their response to poi was "phooey". The pineapple, however, was the most delicious they had ever eaten, and they did bring some back with them. Helen's advice to Hawaii travelers is to take along an extra trunk to have room for all the goodies to be. brought back. Among the pictures the Paras have to remember Hawaii, is the welcome they received on arrival. Helen got a lei and kiss from a young man, and Walter got his lei and kiss from a native girl. This gave him the incentive to appreciate the native beauty and beauties. Welcome back and happy memories. Seven days without prayer makes one weak. GOD BLESS McCullom Lake Conservation Club <**4+ WORK OF ART...Joan Delce displays a quilt made by slaves during the Civil War. This quilt and many other pioneer crafts are on display at the Texas State Arts and Crafts Fair in Kerrville. y Theater Group Offers "Barefoot In The Park" McCULLOM LAKE As of the first of June, Mc­ Cullom Lake Conservation club has collected $3789.42 for the dredging project. Bill Scarlett has also received some calls from volunteers for work crews. Both the financial and volunteer support for the dredge project made the work possible. Scarlett may be reached at 385-8154. The dredge is working well and will have two additional operators (now a total of four men) soon. This way the dredge will have four men part of the day each day to facilitate moving pipe and other dredging operations which require more than two men. Some good news is coming from the local fishermen. The dredging project seems to have attracted many fish in that area. Fishermen are reporting legal size Northern being caught on the western side of the lake. Other fish varieties seem plentiful too. With the fishing so good, maybe some of the local cooks could send some recipes that they use for fish or serve with fish to the club's cookbook. The book has seventy recipes now and the deadline for guaran­ teed Christmas delivery is Aug. 10. The last book contained 185 recipes. The price for the book will remain in the same range as last time. Please send your recipes now to Harriet Ham­ mer, 5025 W. Flanders road, McHenry.

PET^-FA/p, GROUP. INC. P.O. BOX 143 McHfNRV Hi MOM 815/385-17/1 What to Do When Your Pet Is Lost Step 1-Call Animal Control, 338-7040, immediately! Visit the next day; a personal visit can mean saving your, pet's life. Then call every oth4r day for 2 weeks or so. Your pet may not be picked up right ajway. Step 2-Run an ad in local papers for at least 2 weeks. Lost and found ads in most papers are usually free. Many people who have taken in a lost or stray animal will keep it in their home and look in the papers to try and find the owner. Step 3-Tell your friends and neighbors to be on the lookout, especially the neighborhood kids. Step 4-Call all area veterinarians to see if anyone has called about finding a pet like yours. Step 5-Call the Sanitary District to see if they picked up a dead animal answering your pet's description. Step 6-Put 3x5 index cards with a description of your pet and your phone number in neighborhood stores, laun- drymats, etc. Step 7-Call both Pet Welfare, 385-1771, and Helping Paws, 459-2641. Be sure to check back in a few days, apd again in a week or two. \ Of all the stray animals that are picked up, 80 percent are destroyed because owners either don't claim them or they don't know where and how to look. Don't just look in your own neighborhood, animals can stray quite far from home. A large dog can travel 30 miles a day. Above all, have a name tag and-or a rabies tag on your pet. dogs and cats both!
