Lakemoor-Lilymoor Morgoret Koros 385-4934 96th Birthday For Local Lady Ida Legge, who has lived in our community for many years, celebrated her ninety- sixth birthday on Aug. 22. Jo Bartelt, accompanied by Sally Rogers, took the birthday child to our Lilymoor restaurant for a delicious luncheon. A lovely time was had by all. Ida also enjoyed a birthday cake given to her by her niece, Esther. Anbther gift she received was to be taken to the eye doctor by Jo. Ida's vision is a bit impaired by a partial cataract, but otherwise the doctor was very satisfied. Ida, we certainly wish for you another year to be spent happily among friends and family, in good health. And may your ninety-seventy birth­ day be noted in the Lakemoor- Lilymoor column on time! PRAISE THE LORD TIME Healther Mentzer is still a bright-eyed bubbly little girl because her mother, Dottie, knew how to give mouth-to- mouth resuscitation. The traumatic situation started Friday, Aug. 17, when Dottie saw that Heather was not breathing. The rescue squad was called by a visiting neigh­ bor. Dottie remembered what she had been taught as a youngster about helping an unconscious person to breathe, and did just that to her own child. Heather responded and was breathing when the rescue. squad arrived. Heather was rushed to the hospital with six caring splendid people from the squad in attendance. . Heather had a temperature of 105.6, which was soon brought under control. Tests showed no serious problem or damage, and now she is home after a one-week stay at the McHenry hospital. JoAnna, Heather's sister, who hadn't wanted Heather taken to the hospital, was especially joyful on her return, and said thank­ fully, "You brought my Heather home". The help of neighbors and friends and the prayers were deeply ap­ preciated by the Mentzer family. RUMMAGE REMARKS Recycling housewares, clothes, furniture, games, and whatsisses gives quite an in­ sight to human nature. Much was learned at the Lily Lake Conservation club's first Saturday and Sunday sale the eighteenth and nineteenth, the foremost being that Mother Nature is still in control, and the rains came whether we were covered or not. The hard workers included Carolyn and Dale (Muscles) Rasmussen, Betty Kmetz with her bandaged hand, Shirley Hayes, the Library twins, Romona Neeley and Diana Pickett, Marion Vornkahl, Kathy Kelley, Mag Dunnagan and Louise Hipwell. The Gurskes and Webers hauled, and so many others helped when needed. Remarks were: "Oh - dredging Lily Lake? Well, about time you did something about the lake". Who is this "YOU"? and the woman who sent her children to the car with stuffed animals, and when reminded that she hadn't paid for the toys, retorted, "Neither did you." and left with the stolen articles. What an example for those children. The use of the L.L.C.C.I. office headquarters at Peggy and Bill's across the street from the sale was appreciated and enjoyed. It was a tired and bedraggled crew that closed up late Sunday afternoon, but having the following Saturday and Sunday sale to look for­ ward to, gave them strength to say, "Is it really worth the effort?" In order to correct, protect and beautify Lily Lake, members of the Lily Lake Conservation Club think it is. SPECIAL DAYS Aug. 29 is the date that Rick and Hedie Foss hold dear, as it was the date of their marriage. Celebrating on the thirtieth, are Mr. and Mrs. W. Mix. Birthday wishes go to Corey Krawczyk, and John James Nixon who will be 13 years old, on Aug. 30. Another young person to reach teen years is Holly Hager, who becomes an official teenager on Sept. 2. Dick Mum ma celebrates the same day. Sept. 4 is the day for Micklin Kent who will be six, and also for favorite number two daughter, Maribeth, who reaches her majority. May you all receive the blessings promised. LIBRARY STORY The Monster Reading club, the summer reading program at the McHenry Nunda library, culminated with a fun time for the youngsters on Tuesday, Aug. 21. Stephen Mumma received recognition for reading and listing 90 books, with Jose Gonzalez the second most avid reader. Games were played, sweets and drinks enjoyed, and all went home with mementos. The library on Lily Lake road will now be open longer hours. Thursday, 2to 8; Friday, 2 to 7; Saturday 10 to 4; and morning hours will be added to Tuesday's schedule; 10 to 12 and 1 io 6.

STORM DAMAGE Being in an area that is used to high winds from the south­ west, the wind and tain storm from the northeast was a shocker on Aug. 17. Damaged was the piping from the dredge to the spoils area. It was all twisted and battered, with the barrels used as floats loose and many washed on shore. Another delay in the dredging, plus a cut hand for chief operator, Jerry Weber. But Jerry and crew, Dale Rasmussen, Skipper Gurske and Ross Curley are now back in operation, an asking for more helpers. Call 344-1955 for scheduling. FAMILY GATHERING Jo Bartelt had family and friends to her home for a cookout on Aug. 18. among the guests were Mary Ringberg, the Clark family, the Kohler family and Sally Rogers. There were no damp spirits as the family and friends gathered in Jo's yard, garage and house. Past times were relived, and a new set of memories made. FROM MARIBETH "On June 20, I had the good fortune to step on a 707 magic carpet and in eight hours land on my isle of enchantment, England. Lugging an incredible amount of baggage, I joined the rest of my fellow students from the Wheaton College in England summer program, at the Y.M.C.A. Ten days in that great city went by quickly: London is no fairyland, but a busy colorful ancient and modern city. By day we saw literary sights, to accent our studies, and by night took in the West End theaters. Super! "As a group, we went to such places as Warwick Castle, endless cathedrals of exquisite beauty, and every conceivable author's house. Before reaching Oxford for our four week stay, we journeyed to the southwest through the beautiful farmlands of Devon and out to the Cornwall coast, a most breathtaking sight. No one could see those high cliffs and pounding waves and not praise the Creator. "It was back to the books in July, busily studying 17th century authors, Shakespeare and modern British.

Rt. 14 and 176 Crystal Lake, Illinois GABRIEL EQUIPMENT CO. 225 E.Calhoun St. Woodstock, Illinois Blue Ribbon Commission For Educational Study A Blue Ribbon commission and an advisory panel have been set up by the Illinois state board of education to assist them in completing a legislative mandate to study the educational service regions in Illinois. Members of the two groups were announced by Donald F. Muirheid, chairman of the state board of education. "I am pleased," Muirheid said, "that many prominent civic leaders from all areas of the state and from all walks of life, have agreed to assist the board with this legislative assignment. "The legislature's time constraints require quick ac­ tion, and with the help of these volunteers, we will make every effort to complete the thorough, timely study requested by the General Assembly." Anne's college, there was time for walking, and jogging through the parks, shopping, high tea, and worship at the local churches. Finally finals and goodbyes were upon us. Many of us chose to travel before returning home, so that excitement eased some of the pain. "A special friend, Chris Goetschel, stationed with the USAF in London, and I spent much of the last weeks together. We saw Oxford and then backpacked through the lovely North Lakes district and Scotland, hiking arid ex­ periencing the rugged life of * Youth Hostels. I concluded my stay with some dear friends near the base. On Aug. 21, when the wheels of the big jet lifted off English soil, I gave a sigh of contentment and a prayer of gratitude." Maribeth Karas GOD BLESS The study is required by an amendment to House Bill 2420, which the governor signed into law Aug. 3. The new law directs the board "to develop and report legislative recom­ mendations to the General Assembly not later than Feb. 1, 1980." Chairing the Study Com­ mission will be Dr. James Nowlan, * former special assistant for Education to Governor Thompson. Nowlan served two terms, from 1968-72, in the Illinois' House of Representatives, and in 1972, he was the Republican can­ didate for lieutenant governor. Presently, Nowlan is an associate professor with the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs. The commission will receive advice and counsel from a panel whose members are actively engaged in education. The timeline adopted by the board July 26 calls for the commission to report their recommendations to the board in November. The board will hold public hearings around the state in November and December, then take final afrtjon on the recommendation^~in January, 1980. Recommendations approved by the state board of education will then be submitted to the General Assembly to meet the Feb. 1, 1980, deadline.
