Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Louise Hipwell Attends Class For Library Trustees Louise Hipwell, president of the Board of Trustees of the McHenry Nunda Public Library district, had an ex­ citing, worthwhile five day training session in Springfield. Her adventure began early Sunday morning, March 25. Driving alone was fine until the rain, snow, water and ice become problems. Going through water hubcap deep, and then skidding through six inches of drifted snow, almost made Louise turn back. But after St. Charles, the roads were fine, with only two detours because of the flooding. Then came worry time, as the gas indicator was getting close to "E" and no open stations, as it was Sunday. Finally Louise found one in Springfield, and as she pulled in, the motor quit. Talk about Guardian Angels! Louise found and checked into the Forum 30 hotel, room 903. Tired as she was, she hauled her suit case to the elevator, to room 903, and surprised two gentlemen un­ packing. After a hurried call to the desk, Louise went back downstairs, was given key to room 901, back up the elevator suitcase and all, and finally was able to freshen up alone, for dinner. Classes began Monday at 8 a.m., continuing until 10 p.m. with lunch and dinner breaks. This seminar was the pilot in our country for library trustee training. The purpose was to enable non-professionals to realize their responsibilities and give them the expertise needed to provide the best library service consistent with wise allocation of funds. The select group of thirty trustees will now be in a position to instruct other library board members. The trustees were invited to a reception at the Governor's Mansion with Mrs. Thompson as a gracious hostess. Louise was very impressed with the beauty of the rooms and the lovely decorations. The buffet consisted of a variety of luscious finger food, with not a knife, fork or spoon in sight. Louise also renewed acquaintances with the people met while attending other library seminars in the past. Wednesday was another day of in-depth training. Louise was a part of the evaluation com­ mittee which determined the strengths of the current days program, and helped plan for future training. Classes started at 7:30 Thursday morning, with the session closing after lunch. A mentally and physically exhaused Louise, started home, arriving here safely in spite of the heavy fog in McHenry county. Our library is very fortunate to have Louise Hipwell on our board. Sharing her new found ideas with the other board members will result in a growth in knowledge, and dedication, and better library service for all. CLEANUP TIME Village residents have access to a free garbage dumpster, which will be in front of the municipal building Thursday and Friday, April 12 and 13. It's "Be proud of your community time", the time to beautify the road sides and empty lots, and remove accumulated winter trash. Charles Schmidt, superin­ tendent of public works, will have the dumpster ready and waiting. There has already been some cleanup work done, by some of the area's young people. If residents have larger items to be disposed of, call Charles at 385-2936, and he will provide assistance. Remem­ ber, no charge for a place to put all kinds of trash this Thursday and Friday, for Lakemoorites. BLACKOUT For fifteen hours Thursday and Friday, much of our community was in darkens*. With the extremely high winds and way below freezing tem­ perature, a heatless home was the greatest hardship. Even those of us fortunate to have a gas stove, closed off rooms and made home again a place of "close togetherness". Sur­ prising how electricity really controls our lives. No heat, no water, no cooking, no television, if Com Edison is your main utility. When the motors started humming at 9:15 a.m. Friday, the excitement of frontier existence was over. Candlelight was romantic, wasn't it? LADIES NIGHT The Lily Lake Ladies league met for its regular meeting April 4. After making plans for the installation dinner, which will take place at its next social meeting, they all enjoyed Bunco. Jean Dember won a first prize, with Joan Delatorre and Carol Voelke taking the next two. Julia Krause won the littlest one. Helen Netzel and Connie O'Rourke provided and served the refreshments for the enjoyable evening. PINK AGAIN Gloria and John Casseil have number seven grandchild as of March 29, when Brooke Alyce arrived in Dayton, Tenn. Lynne and John Casseil's first baby weighed in at 6 lbs., 15 oz., and was 20 inches long. Baby, mother and father are all well. Maternal grandparents are Warren and Lorraine Monahan of McHenry. Brooke Alyce also has great grandparents, with Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Mix qualifying for that role. Plans now are for John and Lynne to come here in June, so these will be a happy meeting then. AND NOW BLUE Home from the hospital on April 6 with a brand new son, was Connie Taylor. Father Deadrick was very concerned - bringing baby and mom home during the severe storm Thursday, but all is well. James Arnold, born cm April 1, is already adding to his almost 7 lbs., and to his 19 inches. CELEBRATION TIME Friday the thirteenth will hopefully not be a bad luck time for Grant Delp - and Charles Schmidt, Jr., as this is birthday time for both. Master Charles will reach the ripe old age of five eyars. April 16 is Ray Embrey's day and the seventeenth is Jennifer Gosell's. Helen and Ed Povidas celebrate their anniversary on April 17. May everyone have many happy years to look forward to. . ' CASUALTY Tryouts for Little League baseball can be exciting, and even sometimes dangerous to your health. Troy Foss ended up with a black eye, but being hit by a ball didn't stop him from continuing his playing. With spirit like that, Troy will be a welcome addition to Little League. LAKEMOORNEWS The progress that Lakemoor is making is apparent in the news articles released last week. Several village officials, including president Richard Hyatt, had a nice portrait taken on the completion of the bond financing program for the sewer treatment plant. It's good to see the fruition of the efforts of dedicated people. MORE TALENT Billy Casseil is another of our area's talented youngsters. He is a member of "The Joyful Noises", the first United Methodist church children's choir. This group will be presenting a folk musical "Sam", April 22 at 5 p.m. Billy has also been singing at Junior high, and received a good score in the last competition. His sister Julie, from East campus, also did well with a vocal solo in her latest competition. Friends are invited to the musical to hear "The Joyful Noises" do just that.

Vote For Wieser - Alderman, Ward 3 Tuesday, April 17, \ 979 Polling Place, City Hall Caution Urged In Cancer Warnings "You can't prevent cancer by keeping it out of your mind," declared Ilavern Gregory, educational chairman of the McHenry American Cancer society. "Then there are those who believe that if they do get cancer they are inevitably doomed, so they refuse to think about it. For all these folks, cancer is more likely to be uncontrollable because its early warning signals were ignored," she said. "The American Cancer society urges everyone to practice caution instead of brooding over the possibility of getting cancer," the ACS leader said. "Remembering the word caution is a good way to remember cancer's warning signals because the first letter in each signal spells it out." The seven cancer warning signals are: 1. Change in bowel or bladder habits 2. A sore that does not heal 3. L'nusual bleeding or discharge 4. Thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere 5. Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing 6. Obvious change in wart or mole 7. Nagging cough or hoar­ seness "When one of these con­ ditions appears it is very likely not cancer," Mrs. Gregory emphasized, "but only a doctor can tell if it is malignant or benign. Thus, the life you save may be your own if you prac­ tice CAUTION!" "The five year survival rate for breast cancer is about 85 percent with early diagnosis and prompt treatment but only 56 percent when the disease is detected in later stage. The chances of a colorectal patient living five years or longer with SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. APRIL II, 1979 early diagnosis and prompt treatment is 71 percent but drops to 44 percent with delay." We therefore urge every one to learn and practice CAUTION. It is one of the best ways to finally bring cancer under control," she said. have a nice weekend... Fresh Fruit Delight Fresh fruit such as cantaloupe pieces, green grapes, orange sec­ tions, and sliced banana take on a festive air when served with a spoonful or two of Vanilla Sour Cream Sauce. Gently combine two cups of dairy sour cream with one-half cup of confec­ tioners' sugar and two teaspoons of vanilla. Cover and chill for two hours. For another treat, try the same recipe on fruit flavored gelatin. STAY CALM The McHenry Medical Group announces the association of JOSEPH S.
