Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aid* • Rose Lillegard 344-1984 385-4517 Food Co-op Date Changed. Due to unforeseen cir­ cumstances, the Food Co-op Planning meeting had to be changed to Monday, Oct. 15. The time 7:30 p.m. and the location, village hall annex, stay the same. Please mark this new date on your calendars and cohie to the meeting to find out more about this proposition. ATTENTION • CAR POOLERS! In these times of high gasoline prices, car pooling is definitely the thing to do. There is, however, one aspect of it that many of you seem to have forgotten. The sound of a car horn can carry for blocks, and it is not pleasant to wake up to consistent beeping in front of a neighbor's house. It would be nice if you could agree on another, quieter means of communications between you and your car pool friends. RECUPERATING If you have missed the pleasant voice and face of Chris Foote at the village hall, there is a serious reason for it. Chris WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ION SALE ITEMS was involved in an automobile accident and, due to several injuries, has not been able to return to work. We an want to Wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you back with us very soon! ; BIRTHDAY Happy birthday to Tim Ferbrache who is 19 today. Have a nice day, Tim, and all the best for the coming year! BEARSTORY Our village clerk, Dr. S.A. Larson, is an avid hiker and backpacker. However, this last summer she had an experience that she will remember for a long time and which might deter anyone less determined from camping altogether. While being camped in a wilderness area along the Canadian border, a bear came very close to her tent, stole all her food and vandalized most of the things contained in her back pack. Normally, bears are said to disappear when they hear specific noises, but this par­ ticular bear was obviously a very unusual one and was not deterred by any noise, fire or the presence of Dr. Larson's faithful Doberman friend, Dobie. In spite of such a harrowing experience, she has already plans for another hike/ TRIBUTE For approximately 7 years, Earl Buck was the chief of the McHenry Shores police force. It was a difficult and thankless job, especially during the very early days of this village when there were only 1 or 2 part-time officers and no full-time help at all. Very often it meant an­ swering the police telephone at all hours of day or night, a task in which Mrs. Buck par­ ticipated.' The people of this village would like to express their appreciation to Earl and Maxine Buck for the time spent in helping to make our com­ munityasaferjplaceto live. j TOUR OF HOMES The Ellwood House Cen­ tennial Tour of Homes will be Saturday, Oct. 6, from 10 a.m; to 4 p.m. .Proceeds from the benefit will go to Ellwood House, a national historic site and museum in DeKalb.

IH 4" Attorney General William J. Scott has announced that his Consumer Protection division has started receiving com­ plaints indicating that the "Fall Phony Repair Season" is at hand. Scott said the "season" has opened with reports from Sangamon county and Madison county of rip-offs by traveling gypsters who do false repairs and coatings of asphalt driveways. Subsequent examination indicates jio real repairs are made, and the "asphalt coating" is usually used oil with some thin mixture of other material. Iti one case a Springfield woman paid $1,940 for a phony driveway repair to three men who represented themselves as being the "McDonald Asphalt company" of Springfield. The address used turned out to be a vacant lot. ^ Scott cautioned home owners that similar schemes relating to roof repairs, chimney repairs, foundation work, and other household needs will be coming around. He advised home owners to delay" con­ tracting for work until they are able to verify the local headquarters of a "firm", confirm that the workers are reliable, and establish that the repairs are really needed and are reasonably priced. Scott said that "fly by night" operators usually will try pressure tactics to avoid such safeguards. He cautioned home owners that pressure appeals such as thrieats that an "offer will be withdrawn" or "the price will go up if we have to make an extra trip" or "we can't come back tomorrow" are really tip-offs to rip-offs. Another tip-off, Scott said, is the "low-price pitch"...ten dollars or so to check, or clean something (roof) (furnace) (foundation) (driveway) which then begins to escalate into hundreds of dollars when all sorts of problems are suddenly fabricated. Again, Scott said, the best approach is for the home owner to refuse to become obligated, and to ad­ vise the salesperson that the home owner will call a local firm to do the work, if the repairs are determineid to be necessary. Course For Foodservice The Illinois Department of Public Health, in its new rules and regulations, require that by Jan. 1, 1980, every foodservice operation; i.e. restaurant, fast food, hospital, school, must be under the operational super­ vision of a manager who has received a sanitation cer­ tificate from the state. The Chicago & Illinois Restaurant association announces a course in this area. It will be held at John Evans, 6607 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, Oct. 22, 29 and Nov. 5 from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. The course will include the materials developed by the National Institute for the Foodservice Industry, home study assignments and only three classroom sessions, with a total of 15 hours of classtime. The tuition covers book, materials, and certificates. Pre-registration is preferred, by calling CIRA at 312-372-6200 or registrations at the door may also be accepted. m $ I FB P"£. ® tQ O iq o> a *•0 0) S3 ® 2 QSP&S X £ S- < o & 6 3 5' S tr 3 " 10 H Rt. 47
