There will be a car­ nival with rides and games, booths, foods and drinks.

The entry fees will go toward the prize money for the winning contestants. This parade is open to any youngsters, not just residents of Lakemoor, so let your creativity flow in honor of the sewer connection. NEW MEMBER The Lily Lake Ladies League, last Wednesday night, welcomed Mildred Boyd of McHenry as the newest member of the group. During the business meeting, plans were made for a bake sale to be held on Saturday, June 2 in conjunction with Lakemoor's "Royal Flush Days". Call 385- 8574 if you would like to help the ladies in this endeavor. The winners of the Bunco games played later were Julia Kraus, first, then Helen Netzel, Carol Voelke, and Connie O'Rourke, fourth/ Anna Br- zezinski's good fortune con­ tinued, for she won both the door and Booby prizes. Three prizes in one week makes for lots of excitement for Anna. The hostesses were Connie O'Rourke and Helen Netzel, who provided and served the refreshments which were enjoyed by all the Ladies of the Lake. % TATS OFF Mike Nejedly was the chief in charge of the most recent fund raising in behalf of Lily Lake. He and all the Conservation Club members are ap­ preciative of the great support given by the business com­ munity from McHenry, Johnsburg and locally, and by the good people who added to the Save Lily Lake campaign with their contributions. PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Birthdays, that is. Gone but not forgotten are Otto Witzke's seventy-eighth and Peggy Hendricksen's thirty-ninth, both on the first of May, the day outdoor fun and games started Peggy's husband Bill gifted her with quite a card. Carl Stromley had quite a party on his birthday in April, too. Helen Para celebrated her birthdate on May 2, and May 3 was the special day for Albert Kunz and Kathleen Gosell. Dan Victor's day was May 4, and Richard Polinski's the sixth. Ramona Neeley and Gloria Mayo, two pretty young gals, almost have twin birthdates, Ramona's on the seventy, and Gloria's the day after. „ Jason Leske, MariflrrtKjd Don Leske's first grandchild, wHkbe three years old May 10. Stan Zabroski celebrates on May 12. Richard Hyatt, Lakemoor's hard working president, adds another year on May 15. Hope all the past celebrations were exciting, with those in the future even more so. HONORABLE MENTIONS The West campus honor roll included Tricia Goebel, while East was represented by Carol Martin. There must be others from our area who aren't being recognized. Do come forward and he counted. PaulStarzyk isn't the only talented cake baker and truly sad ations of better y one, ,a decorator around. Carolyn Rasmussen made the cake for her brother-in-law's wedding. She finally devised a frosting recipe that not only tastes good, but looks luscious until it is devoured. DISHONORABLE MENTIONS The Little Store was broken into sometime on Saturday, April 28. Ruth Mormon found that money collected^fw the Lily Lake Conservation club had been stolen. It was not a large amount, but it to think that the dc concerned people environment for eve1 were taken. And it's garbage /disposal time again on the roadsides. Bag fulls are being dumped in empty lots in Liiymoor and elsewhere. That great American ethnic quality of disposing of one's refuse on someone else's property, is again being proven a truth.. Wouldn't it be great to see this dumping in reverse, and have all the trash sucked back to where it came from ? At least we can dream^ of garbage-free roadsides. In the meantime, it seems some of us will continue picking up after the rest of us.

GOD BLESS Arbor Day Ceremony At Edgebrook May 3 Edgebrook school at 701 Green street held a delayed Arbor day ceremony Thursday, May 3, at 2:30 p.m. when a large, 15-foot spruce tree was planted on the front lawn. John Williamson, a fourth grade student, was able to assist his father and brother, who are in the nursery business, in the operation. All 575 students gathered on the front lawn to watch the planting. Fourth grade classmated of John had researched the origion of Arbor day and provided a short explanation to the student body. Real Outdoorsman Down the street there's a real outdoorsman. He commented last week that all he wants is "golf, the great outdoors and a beautiful girl." Then, he added, "and you can keep the golf and the great outdoors." CONSUMER GUIDELINES The Sun Even though only a portion of the sun's energy reaches earth, it is by far the greatest energy resource available to mankind. Every 40 minutes, the sun delivers to the earth's surface as much energy as man uses in a year. In the span of a single year, sunlight falling on the United States represents more energy than the total amount of fossil fuel energy that exists within U.S. boundaries. Scientists are working to harness the sun's energy and we may expect to see many solar-related products in the future. the of your dweNn$ i t With inflation protection from American Family!

The person complained that there were too many motorcycles on the roadways, and that they shouldn't be allowed to even use the highways along with cars and trucks. It should be realized that motorcycles have just as much right to use the roadways as do other vehicles, since motor­ cycles have to have state license plates, drivers have to have special licenses to operate them, and they pay the same taxes on fuel that other vehicles do. However, motorcyclists must realize that they do not own the roadways to the ex­ clusion of other vehicles, and they should observe the same courtesy that they expect car drivers to give them. I've seen people drive their vehicles like they are the only person on the roadway and they expected everyone else to watch out for them and get out of their way, and the same holds true for some bikers I've seen too. Except for a few bikers, I think that a motorcycle rider is a safer and more careful driver than a car driver. Being a motorcycle driver myself, I have to believe this for this reason: most motorcycle ac­ cidents ususally end up with some sort of an injury involved, and because of that, most bikers are considerably more careful when they are on their bikes than when they are in their other vehicles. Our biggest concern is for the other driver and what he is going to do. I have seen vehicles pull out in front of a biker when the driver would never have pulled out in front of another vehicle, or pass a motorcycle so close so as to almost hit the motorcycle. I don't know if the vehicle driver just doesn't realize that he isn't being careful, or what; or he just doesn't realize that the motorcycle has the same rights that he does and he thinks that he will "teach that biker a lesson" but he is creating a potential accident by his actions. On the other side of the fence, I have also seen bikers being just as careless and reckless when they speed down the road coming away from a stop sign or light, or by going between two vehicles that are next to each other to get in front of them, or doing stunts on the road or "wheelies" in heavy traffic. All that I am trying to say to both types of drivers is to exercise a little more care and both of you live to enjoy your trip and do it safely, and show a little respect for each other. All you motorcycle riders should do the same kind of pre- trip check to your bikes as I have suggested to the car drivers, too, because some defects in your motors could be considerably more dangerous than they would be in a car or truck. Before starting up this season, why not go over the bike and check a few simple things, and replace the faults before you take off. Check the tires for wear and tread depth; the chain for tension and check to make sure that it hasn't stretched out too far (if it has, replace it and the two sprockets to be safe); the brake shoes or pads for wear and crystalization; all the cables for the brakes and the clutch and throttle, and so on. And don't forget the most important piece of equipment that you have, your helmet. More heads and lives have been saved by the use of a helmet than you can realize. Also, remember that Illinois state law requires you to wear some sort of eye. protection, such as glasses, goggles, or a helmet shield; and so must your passengers. The complaints are still rolling in about all the stray dogs that are running loose around town and in the sub­ divisions, and the animals going onto other people's property. Remember that if a dog, or cat is caught running loose, it will be turned over to the animal control people in Woodstock, and if the owner is found, there will be a fine given to the owner for allowing the animal to run wild. Also, there is a city ordinance against walking your dogs on city property, such as the parks and other recreational areas, such as Petersen park, the Pearl street park, the Riverside beach, and the open area of Whispering Oaks alongside Front Royal drive and Route 120. You cannot I allow your animals to use these areas of the city for their exercise. Unless your animal is on a leash, it must stay on your own property. Can't we all please make the city a little cleaner place to take a walk. Speaking of a cleaner place to take a walk, how about this for a community cleanup idea. When you are taking your walk, or even driving, take along a garbage bag and when you come across something alongside the road or on the road, pick it up and put it in the garbage bag, and take it home and put it in the trash can. With a little effort, we can all help make McHenry cleaner. Have a nice week! Antennas, Power Lines Make A Dangerous Team A Memphis man and his son had purchased a 60-foot citizens band (CB) radio antenna from a friend and were in the process of putting it up. As the antenna began to fall, they grabbed it. The antenna hit a power line and the two men were killed instantly by 7,200 volts of electricity. Even though CB radios have played key roles in rescue operations, CB antennas have become dangerous in the hands of amateurs. In fact, in 1978 there were more than 100 electrocution deaths from CB antenna ac­ cidents. That makes CB an­ tennas the number-one cause of electrocution in the United States. According to Ordie Hogsett, University of Illinois Extension safety specialist, the major danger comes from antennas striking power lines. He says if you can't avoid putting a CB antenna near power lines, you should contact the power company for in­ structions or have it installed by a professional. Be aware that tree tops may hide power lines, Hogsett says. He also advises that you tie off the antenna so it doesn't hit a power line if it falls. Ah, Nuts!
