THREE POUND BASS CAUGHT Mike Lermer reeled in a three pound bass last week at the Wooded Shores beach. He was spending the night at Ross Ruzicka's home, so after it was weighed, Rich Ruzicka helped clean it and Tiny Ruzicka prepared it for the boys to feast on. . . Mike will have to try again though, because his parents didn't get a chance to see it! I'm sure they heard all the exciting details of the catch and just how good it tasted. Congratulations, Mike.

SECTION 2 - PAGE 3 - PLAINDKAI.ER WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6,1979 by Gerry Johnson Name Johnsburg Girl Scout For National Opportunity WORKWISE Questions and Answers 1. Isn't it illegal for my employer to discriminate • against me because I am pregnant? I have been "acting manager" of my division since the manager became ill. Now that the manager has decided to retire, one of the employees I supervise has been appointed manager. When my employer informed me of the ap­ pointment, he explained, that even though I was the most qualified, I was pregnant and he could not be sure I would be able to continue working until my scheduled maternity leave; nor could he be sure I would return to work after my baby was born. I don't think this is fair. I have worked hard as "acting manager" and have received excellent evaluations. The Fair Employment Practices act prohibits the unfair employment practice of discrimination in employment based on sex, unless the discrimination is based on a "bona fide occupational qualification". If your em­ ployer refused to select you for promotion because he feared your pregnancy could, in the future, render you unable to work, his refusal may not be based on a "bona fide oc­ cupational qualification". If you feel you have been the victim of an unfair employment practice, contact the Fair employment Practice Com­ mission, 179 West Washington, Chicago, 111., 60602, (312 ) 793- 6200 or 3 West Old Capitol Plaza, Meyers Building • 2nd Floor, Springfield, 111., 62701 (217 ) 782-1927. 2.

That's what 76-year-old Jack Corlies says of himself after coming out of retirement and play­ ing a number of engage­ ments in Washington, D.C. Born in Gloversville, New York, a small town just north of Albany, Corlies is the son of a song-and-dance man. "My father was in vaude­ ville," Coflies told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. "He toured with his own quartet.1' While his father was on the road, Corlies lived with his grandmother. He started playing the piano when he was 7 and took lessons until he was 14. "My grandmother got me started," COrlies said. "She sold her organ and got a piano in its place so I could take lessons." By the time he was 14, Corlies had already formed a small band to play at school functions. In high Superintendents Reappointed Last Monday Governor James E. Thompson an­ nounced the reappointments of Richard W. Carlson as Superintendent of the Illinois State Lottery.,_ and Nick Alexander as Superintendent^ the State Fair agency. Both appointments are for two-year terms and require Illinois Senate approval. school, he was the leader of the school orchestra. When his grandfather died in 1921, Corlies put an ad in Billboard Magazine of­ fering his services as an en­ tertainer. "I got offers from groups all over the country," Cor­ lies said. "I finally joined a band in Tampa, Florida. I spent my 21st birthday in Tampa and I've been on the road ever since." In the 30s, after working with various male partners and leading hij^own band, Corlies formed an act with his first wife. "Corlies and Palmer" ended up playing every major U.S. and Cana­ dian city. "When we were playing New York City, someone from a large talent agency saw us and booked us on a European tour," Corlies said. "We ended up playing England, Belgium, Holland, and France." When Corlies and his wife split up in 1940, he continued in show business working alone. For the next 20 years he played clubs all over the country. In 1961 he went to England with his second wife, a British wom­ an, for what was to have been a three month stay. "We ended up staying five years," Corlies said. "I worked as an entertainer but I also opened my own talent agency and booked acts on the Continent. In 1966 he got homesick and returned to this country where he went back on the road again. Then, in 1974, when his wife died, Corlies decided to retire and live with his brother in Syra­ cuse, N.Y. "At first I sat on the front porch in a rocking chair," he said. "But then I got antsy and went to New York to see some shows. When I saw 'Chorus Line' I cried. I just had to get back in harness." Several months ago, Cor­ lies satisfied his urge by fill­ ing an engagement in a Washington, D.C. lounge. Currently "between engage­ ments," a show biz term for unemployment, Corlies is considering several job op­ portunities. "I tried retirement and it's not for me," Corlies said. "I guess I'm just a ham at heart. If I'm not enter­ taining people, I'm not happy." * * * EVERY DAY, approxi­ mately 5,000 Americans turn 65 while 3,600 persons Linda Schmitt of Johnsburg recently received word that she is one of 50 girls from across the United States selected to participate in the Hell Hole Swamp Stomp sponsored by the Caroline Low Country Girl Scout council.

Use window shades, according to research by Illinois Institute of Tech­ nology. It found light colored, opaque shades block out 63 percent of solar heat in sum­ mer, and reduce heat usually lost through a window by 24 to 31 percent. That's four to five times more effective than costlier Venetian blinds and lined drapes. The researchers' savings estimate: Up to 21 cents of your air conditioning dollar, 8 cents of your heating dollar. who are 65 and over die. The result is a net increase in the 65 and over popula­ tion of about 1,400 persons a day or about 500,000 a year. Currently, there are approximately 24 million Americans 65 and over comprising 11 percent of the population. If current population trends continue, by the year 2000 there will be more than 30 million Americans 65 years of age and older.

Wis Construction crews for Community Cablevision, Inc. are making good progress in placing strand on the poles to serve McHenry residents with cable television service. We have placed 15 miles of strand to date, and the next phase will be to lash cable to this strand which will carry a multitude of signals to CATV subscribers. We hope to commence service in late July. The first area served will be the west side of the Fox River, followed by the north­ west section of McHenry, and then the southern section (as indicated on the map) While this aerial construction activity is progressing, the utility companies are also locating their buried service lines, so that our company (CATV) can begin plac g un­ derground cables. This is usually accomplished by a vibrating machine on a tractor that makes a deep slice in the earth and places the cable at the same time. This method of "undergroun- ding" does not effect the sod, and after a rain the cable route is usually indistinguishable. Near a road­ way or sidewalk, the construction method used is a combination of trenching, and utilizing a boring machine to run the cable underneath the surface area. Sod restoration will be done where necessary. We are pleased and encouraged by the enthusiastic responses from residents looking forward to their service as a result of mailings and discussions at the Trade Fair held last month in McHenry. Company personnel will be con­ tacting residents regarding stallation details. in- Nadine Cable Business Administrator community cablevision inc. (815) 344-3150 4910 W. ELM STREET - McHENRY, ILL
