"i'Wi r. : Fund Halting Is Planned For "Saw Lily Lak»" effort The board meeting of the Lily Lake Conservation Club, Inc., last Wednesday, focused on the necessity of bill paying - mainly insurance. One of the injustices of the program is the exorbitant cost of protection, which really has nothing to do with the actual work and end result of dredging Lily Lake. After the initial payments of the three insurance policies needed, treasurer George Kawell told the board that more money would have to be generated in order to keep the conservation effort working. Mitzi and Skipper Gurske iwillingly (?) accepted the challenge of coordinating the L.L.C.C.I.'s Tag Day to be held in McHenry, Saturday, Aug. 11, and to work on a bake sale at the McHenry State bank Aug. 4. Jerry Weber and his dedicated dredge workers will be putting up fencing along Columbus drive to warn people to stay out of the spoils area. Jerry is always in need of extra muscle and manpower. Call 344-1955 to get on the workers' schedule. Roger Barker, Joe DeMarco and Charles Nettles also gave their ideas for community involvement. Accepted was Vickie DeStephano's con­ tribution of the use of her property on Route 120, Lilymoor, for rummage sales on Aug. 18, 19, 25 and 26. Workers and donations will be needed for this effort. 385-4934 is the number to call for rummage information. LAKEMOOR VILLAGE NEWS The village meeting July 26 was very well attended, as many residents were at the municipal hall to hear Com­ mittee reports and ask questions. The board now meets every second Thursday of the month for a business meeting, and the fourth Thursday for reports and open forum. Charles Schmidt, director of public works, has a strong admonition for residents regarding the sewer connection caper. Do not start digging to connect lines from house to the main sewer pipe until the in­ spection has been made and the fee paid. Appointments can be made by calling 385-2936 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. This is also the number to call regarding building permits or complaints about roads. If there is no answer, a message may be left at the village clerk's office, 385- 1117. Anna Brze r in sk i ' s resignation was regretfully accepted. Goldie Withrow is iiow the new sewer clerk. Any residents dissatisfied with restoratiott.work done as a result of damage done from the sewer pipe\construction, are to send letters to the village clerk, Pacita Morrison, as soon as possible. All complaints must be in writing, specifying the address and type of damage. Richard Hyatt, Lakemoor president, will have newslet­ ters made up and delivered when important immediate action is needed on any village problem. This is one way of trying to keep the community informed on matters con­ cerning Lakemoor residents. BIRTHDAYS GONE Last week's birthday list included little Anne Marie Martin, who was a big seven 1 years old on July 25, Rick Foss' birthdate, also. July 26 was the important day for William Martin, Beverly Anderson, Jo Anne Chambers, and favorite husband, Bruno Karas. Former Lilymoorite, Joe Fitts, celebrated on the twenty- seventh, as did Casey Krawczyk, Leroy Lippert and Anthony (Skipper) Gurske, -who is such a help to the Lily Lake dredging operation. 'Terrence Bird, little Wendy Bird's father, had his day the twenty-eighth, and Nancy Stockwell celebrated the twenty-ninth. May you all enjoy good health and appreciation of the beauties of life. BIRTHDAYS TO COME On the first day of August, Heather Hager, the youngest of Jim and Shirley's children, will be having a birthday. August 2 is shared by Nancy Martina and Sherida Dawdy, who will be two years old. Charles Hueckstaedt, Jr. (aka Dutch), has his birthday on Aug. 4, and his nephew, Chris Mumma, celebrates on Aug. 5. Bob Dawdy's day is the sixth; and still another Dawdy, this time Max, has his birthday Aug. 7. August is a busy birthday time for tlie Dawdy family. Also celebrating on the seventh are PRAYERSNEEDED Robert tidwell of Lakemoor, has undergone his second open- heart surgery, and is in critical condition in Illinois Research hospital, Chicago. The Neeley family arte for prayers for his recovery. Visualizing Robert healthy and home with his wife Patty and children Robot and Laurie, will help them îll through this serious, difficult time of pain and separation. GET WELLS Laura Meyer, suffering from a wrist injury that happened at work on June 28, has been having acupuncture treat­ ments, and is now also un­ dergoing therapy. The acupuncture,, administered by a doctor in Woodstock, has been helpful, though Laura's activity is still limited. Scott Meyer and some of the other children who have been swimming in Lily Lake, have been bitten by insects while in the water. Parents should be aware and check youngsters after swimming. Jessica Jones is home from the hospital. And Laverne Schueler is again head-nurse at her home, taking care of Louie. SURPRISE PARTY Rick Foss was the guest of honor at a surprise birthday gathering at his mother and father's home on the twenty- second of July. His wife, Hedie, planned a motor boat ride with her motorcycle instructor and his wife in the afternoon, in order to keep the party plans private. Hedie, Rick, Neil and Sue enjoyed the boat ride through the Chain of Lakes. Their guests placed a beer can on "Beer Can Bridge", somewhat like the initiation of neophytes crossing the Equator. After boating, the two couples went to the senior Foss' home to pick up keys, and surprise! There everyone was, singing "Happy birthday" to Rick. Sons Troy and Mark were under Hedie's mothers' care, so the adults had a great time swimming and enjoying Rick's really-a-surprise party. BAND SEMINAR Michael Kmetz, a student at Montini grade school, is in Whitewater, Wis., attending a five day musical study session at the university. Michael plays the trumpet, and with other youngsters, will receive con­ centrated concert band in­ struction. He will be staying at the dormitory, and will have an exciting tiiqe of making new friends, enjoying new ex­ periences and returning home with a better understanding of music and his instrument. Seminars like this are so valuable to the growth and exposure of students. Michael will have a deeper appreciation of music, which will be an asset to the Montini band in his future life. SENIORSCELEBRATE Helen and Walter Para, Julia Kraus, Mary Boyd and Mildred Nejedly were among those celebrating the second an­ niversary of the "Meet and Eat" group at the Moose hall, Wednesday, July 25. They all enjoyed the good luncheon and the birthday cake and icei cream, served on the decorated tables. Afterward, the fun of talking and sharing with other members of the S.C. made the party one to remember. The "Meet and Eat" program is open to all older and wiser persons. Just reserve your place one day in advance. MORE CYCLING The eleven-mile bicycle trail in Moraine Hills state park was enjoyed and survived through by Diane Kawell, daughter Cari, and friend, Wendy Bird. Cari managed to fall over a branch while running on a little side trip, so first aid had to be administered to a rather bloody leg. They all survived, and had a great time pedaling through the park. G.E.D. GRADUATE Congratulations to Shirley Keller of Lakemoor on com­ pleting her G.E.D. course and graduation. Shirley was worried about passing the examination last Thursday. Daughter Yvonne had no doubts, however, and told her mother afterward, "I knew you would pass"-. Shirley's sister and brother-in-law will help her celebrate with an evening out this week. ° Congra tu l a t i ons aga in , Shirley. It's great to be able to feel good about one's self. KEYSTONE KOPS ala LILY LAKE] Ever try connecting two lengths of hose while the water is running? Ross Curley and Skipper Gurske tried to prove it could be done last week. A 20 foot pipe had to be added on to the pipe line extending into the spoils area from the dredge. Our stalwart heroes decided it could be done while the dredge was pumping. Ross straddled the connecting end of the pipe line, trying to insert the 20' addition, and Skip was the hold­ up man at the other end of the pipe. Every time the pipfe was pushed towards the opening, Ross would get a face full of luscious bottom water and mud.lShnally it was decided that S|ip. standing at a lower level,'ihould support this heavy pipe on his shoulders, to keep it elevated to the height of the existing line. Ross is straddling and ready, Skip is shouldering and ready, and Bill Fritzsche gives the go-ahead sign, and the pipe is inserted. Almost, that is. Skip slipped and fell in the muck, Ross got another face full of black goop, and the on­ lookers howled. Finally, Jerry Weber, operating the dredge, stopped pumping, and the pipe was added with no problem. Skip and Ross are now going to do commercials on what mud baths can do for one's com­ plexion and general health. Only problem ~ how to stand the smell?

GOD BLESS SALE OF CHAMPIONS.^ "The Illinois State fairs have been providing a showcase for the finest in Illinois Agriculture over the years," said Nick Alexander, State. Fair manager. Again in 1979, the State fair carries on in that tradition, presenting the nation's largest livestock show and the Illinois State fair Sale of .Champions. The Sale of Champions will be Tuesday, Aug. 14, a day billed as Agriculture and Farm-City da^. o Fuel Supplies The Illinois Institute of Natural Resources reported last week the gasoline supply situation in Illinois has im­ proved since June with the expected shortfall for July to be 8.5 percent. But the Institute noted also that traffic counts are higher, indicating motorists are weakening in the conservation efforts. The outlook for the rest of the summer is favorable, the In­ stitute said, if drivers exercise the restraint shown in previous months.

That's the day Superkids arrived at Supercamp, located 16 miles northeast of Peoria. Camp Tapawingo, a facility used every year by Girl Scouts, is converted to accommodate children with asthma. Participating are Henry DeHue of Wonder Lake, Debra Graef, Ian Papineau and Timothy Riley, all of McHenry. This year, camp is for 8 days and provides a healthy and happy camping experience outdoors for children with asth­ ma. Asthma is a disease of the lungs, where patients have difficulty breathing without wheezing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, coughing and choking. More than 3 million children have their living activities restricted because of asthma, the most common chronic disease of childhood. Children with asthma require constant medication to control their condition with a physician and R.N.'s on duty 'round the clock. A large therapeutic staff .helps provide a safe and rewarding experience. Children with asthma are encouraged to learn and develop within their limitations. Camp Superkids provides a learning and sharing process. Children learn about the disease and how to cope with it. Family asthma programs and counseling services to asthmatic children and their parents are programs of the Illinois Lung association. •t |JOHN'S| SPORT STOP JOHN'S SPORT STOP YOUR NIKE HEADQUARTERS!
