• > PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 21, lf7t GIRL Village ol NcHenry Stores Jude La Francis ^ 385-5067 SCOUTS A typewriter? A portable dentist drill? Does it work? Can I do it? Mark Haggitt, curator of the McHenry County Historical museum answers all the girls' questions with a "yes". Haggitt is giving the Girl Scouts a preview of some of the museum's display for the "Find the Gift in Every Child Festival" sponsored by the Sybaquay Girl Scout council. The event, March 24, is open to all boys and girls in the county. March 24 will be the big day for all children in McHenry and Kane counties. That's the day of the "Find the Gift in Every Child" festival, sponsored by Girl Scouts of the Sybaquay council for all boys and girls in the area. It will be held at the Hemmen's Civic center in downtown Elgin, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free. Pat Frank, chairman, who issued the invitation, urged parents, grandparents and all persons interested in children to see that every boy and girl in the area has a chance to join the fun and experience the thrill of discovering a "gift" or talent he or she might not have known was possessed. "Every child has the gift of hope, of joy and love to give, and it's easy to find, if only one looks," she said, "encouraging the potential gifts, talents and abilities inherent in each child is what Girl Scouting is all about." "Find the Gift in Every Child" festivals are being held all over the United States as a part of the Girl Scout birthday celebration. The sixty-seventh birthday of Girl Scouting was March 12. Children attending the festival will be doing such things as sketching with a professional artists, producing on the spot puppet shows, playing real band instruments, making peanut butter and over 20 other things. v Pigtail League Holds Sign-Up This is the last call for girls interested in joining the Pigtail league for the 1979 season. Saturday, March 31, from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. at the firehouse on Elm street, registration will take place for the Pigtail league. The league will supply each girl with a hat and a shirt; each girl provides her own glove. For more information, call 344-0478. PITCH IN As the snow melts, numerous items can be seen sticking up through the slushy mess. And what a mess it is! Nothing is more unsightly than the collection of old newspapers, plastic wrapped, which are on the ground surrounding various mailboxes. If a neighbor can't get out to clean up his unwanted papers, perhaps you could do the job for him. HELP! HELP! /A volunteer typist is desperately needed by the village of McHenry Shores for Saturday mornings only. There is a 104-page ordinance to be typed. Anyone with typing skills- whether high school student seeking to improve his-her ability or a housewife looking to brush up on her past skills-is welcome. Contact the village hall, 385-8500, and volunteer your services. In the past, the village president has given these volunteers good recommendations for future jobs. VILLAGE BOARD NEWS The village board met Feb. 7, at the village annex. The order of business included the following items: President Lillegard informed the board that the federal snow grant was denied, and it was being ap­ pealed to Washington, D.C. President Lillegard, a com­ missioner on the board of NIPC (Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission), informed the board that on April 4, a hearing will be held on our grant ap­ plication for funding for the McHenry Shores Sewer Project Phase I. NIPC is placing em­ phasis on regional planning of all projects. The first public reading of Ordinance No. 12, vehicle stickers, was read. A copy of this ordinance is available at the village hall for residents' inspection. This ordinance pertains to the raising of fees for vehicle stickers within the village. A lengthy discussion was held on road maintenance. The road commissioner had advised the president that the roads were too soft for the weight of the new truck. Therefore, the pickup should be used to deposit gravel to patching areas. (The roads used by school buses are first priority roads in terms of immediate repair). Trustee Grimes recom­ mended that ditching of snow well off the road and opening of culverts be done, especially in the areas where patching is to be done. President Lillegard reminded the board that village crews were already working on ditching and culvert openings. Further conversation was directed by Trustee Grimes concerning ditching and culvert openings, and President Lillegard requested that Trustee Grimes meet with her and drive through the village to inspect roads and plan action to be taken. Trustee Grimes expressed his opinion that it was the president's job and that he was distressed because of the money which was spent on the roads last fall. President Lillegard reminded him that the road work done in the fall of *78 was authorized by the village board prior to his ap­ pointment to the board, and that no one was farsighted enough to predict the kind of winter which we just ex­ perienced. The meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m. The next meeting of the village board is March 21, 7:30 p.m. at the annex. At this board meeting another new developer will make a presentation concerning a parcel of land for proposed annexation to the village of McHenry Shores.

Jack, Barbara, JaNae, Jennifer, Jared, and Jackilyn will certainly be missed. We wish them much luck in their new home in In­ diana. EXERCISE ANYONE? Contact Linda Panning if you are interested in being an afctive participant in a new exercise, fitness program. After this winter, a new outlook on life must surely accompany a new, healthier body. Remedy for cabin fever- tremendous amount of sun­ shine, goodly portion of warm weather, and the shedding of heavy clothing. Iceberg Facts About 20,000 icebergs are created in the Northern Hem­ isphere each year. Accord­ ing to the National Geographic Society, an estimated 90 percent of those come from glaciers on the west coast of Greenland. Some Arctic icebergs are more than half a mile long and reach 100 feet into the air. A record height reported was 550 feet above sea level -- almost as tall as the Washington Monument.

This tax comment was made when she announced that the Smiling G truck is scheduled to fc>e in McHenry Friday, March 23, to collect clothing and housewares for the Goodwill clients to be used in rehabilitation work adjustment programs. For information call Mrs. Adams. "How does it feel to be disabled? It hurts the heart...- not in the obvious ways you might expect, but in day by day frustrations and disap­ pointments. How difficult, how slow the simple set of putting up her hair becomes for a girl with an impaired arm or hand. How difficult to face strangers whose reactions to you vary from too much sympathy to fear." Facing the world with a physical or mental disability, and adjusting to it, becomes easier with understanding help. That's what disabled people find at your Goodwill In­ dustries. "Your contributions to Goodwill help you with your tax problems and especially aids the handicapped clients to develop their potential to become useful, self-sustaining citizens," Mrs. Adams said. Students Jump Rope To Aid Heart Association Over 50,000 Illinois elementary, junior high and high school students will participate in a Jump Rope-a- Thon to benefit their hearts March 30 and 31 at a large number of schools throughout the state. The students will jump ropes in teams to demonstrate the benefits of rope jumping in building heart and blood vessel health and will raise funds to benefit their local Heart association. Some schools will hold the event on earlier dates. The first annual Jump Rope- a-Thon for Heart is sponsored by the Illinois Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (IAHPER), and is endorsed by the Governor's Council on Health and Fitness, during March, Physical Education and Sports month, IAHPER President Florence Grebner, Ph.D., in announcing the event, the largest of its kind in the nation, said "The em­ phasis in physical education is now on lifetime sports and physical education is now on lifetime sports and physical activities which are more concerned with encouraging general participation than competition." She said "Rope jumping is one of those activities which children used to do for fun alone. Now with the emphasis on maintaining a healthy heart and conditioning the car­ diovascular system, rope jumping can be looked upon in a new light." David W. Morse, M.D., of Champaign, president of the Illinois Heart association, expressed concern for the general lifestyle in the United States. "Our lifestyle is one of the most important factors in the high rate of stroke and heart attack in this country. Car­ diovascular diseases, the nation's number one killer, can begin in childhood. If we en­ courage children to adopt healthful habits early in life, there is a good chance they will maintain the same values as adults," he said. Students at participating schools will form six member teams who will secure pledges for each minute jumped by the team during a maximum three- hour period. Each team member will jump rope until tiring and pass the rope to another team member, repeating the sequence for up to three hours. Team members will collect their pledges after the event and the winning team at each school that turns in con- stributions of $200 or more will win a warm-up suit for each team member. All jumpers who turn in pledges of $20 or more will receive Jump Rope- a-Thon For Heart T-shirts and all students who jump will receive a certificate of ap­ preciation from the Heart association. Information about the event can be obtained from the Illinois Heart association, 1181 North Dirksen Parkway, Springfield, 111., 62708 or by calling toll free 800-252-8511.
