J" - •WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16,1#7» Cm' . Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margaret Karas 385-4934 Bad Day Lily Lake SrfT pf a Sept. 30 was a bad day for i three residents of our area. Shawn Hager was hospitalized .at with injuries resulting from an accident involving Shawn on ^piirhis motorcycle and Chuck .0 Neeley in a car. Knowing both boys and their families, and their mechanical backgrounds, makes this a very sad situation. Shawn has had surgery, and many prayers have been said for his recovery. Patrick Epperson also was involved in an accident on the same day on River road, but was not hospitalized. Accidents are always serious, but we are thankful when injuries are minimal. SINCEREST SYMPATHY The sudden death of Mrs. Lucille Gravenstuk was a shock to her family and friends. She had lived with her daughter Irene and Charles Thornton in Lilymoor for 21 years. Lu was an active busy lady, who was always helping others. Her crocheting brought much ctfkrmth and joy to her family, as she was always busy making gifts for a grandchild or great­ grandchild. She had been making little Christmas trees these past months. And Lu's baking skill was well known, as many bake sale participants will remember. Her last raisin cake was donated to the "Tumble Weeds" bakesale in McHenry on Sept. 29. Not to hear Lu's voice on Thursdays to tell of the Lily ce Ladies League activities, II be a sadness for me. Lu was a beautiful lady who lived quietly and was always ready Uf give of herself. The lives of Tlhose who touched hers have [been enriched. Thank you, lLord FIRE RAZES OLD BUILDING An empty building burned the jjr.st day of Septe: ; in Fritzsche Estates. It had become a run-down structure, but in earlier years, it had been the home of the Wagner family, who farmed much of thev; surrounding land now built up with homes and factories. How old tjtie original farm house was, is not known; but the Wagners, with daughters Christine and Eleanor, lived there during and after the late 1920s. Since then, it had been home to several families, the last being the Douglases, who left last month. So another visible link to the past is gone, but not forgotten by many of us. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Sept. 30 was a special day for Larry Wright. He celebrated his 57th birthday with daughter Nancy and her husband Gary and son Ricky, and his son Forrest and wife Sherry. A dinner at the local restaurant was enjoyed by all, including Larry's wife, Fudgie. Af-^ terward, everyone returned to the Wrights home for cake and gifts. Then on to sister Emma and A1 Kunz' home in t^kemoor, to honor Larry's birthday and a farewell to Emma and Al, as they were leaving for Florida for the winter on the same day. Climaxing this exciting birthday, was a visit frofti Larry's other sister Evelyn and husband Lenny, who came out from Chicago with daughter Patsy and her six sons. Everyone had a great time shaking apples from trees and picking berries. A festive family get together, with fun for all and a happy birthday memory for Larry. DAYS OF RECOGNITION j Elsie Berends of Lakemoor, will be starting her 83rd year an Oct. 10. John Cassell celebrates his birthday on Oct. 12, a date that old C.C. made famous. The following day, Ed Povidas celt ates. What do Charles Epp >n, Arden Heald and Robbie Huffman have in common? Their birthdate, Oct. 14. Sue Ingram's day is Oct. 15, wi h Margaret Chambers and Leslee Schmidt sharing Oct. 16. The anniversary couple is Walter and Helen Para, on Oct. 13. They will be celebrating their 39th year as Mr. and Mrs. Para, but are not planning anything special. GET WELLS Otto Witzke is home from the hospital feeling much stronger, and hoping to use some of his delicious apples to make apple sauce. Marion Leske has been doctoring, and will hopefully soon be feeling better. Happy to report that Jackie Stromley is back home from her hospital Nature Group Buys 80 Acres I' VANDALISM The window of an automobile belonging to the Walter Paras daughter was smashed Tuesday night, Oct. 2, by unknown vandals. The car was parked on the street in front of their home in Lakemoor. A heavy object must have been used to do such damage to the car, and as yet the police have no clues. Wanton destruction of others property is a crime that is of concern to every one of us. Again, neighborhood awareness seems to be the answer to prevention and perhaps conviction of these sick people who get their jollies at the expense and pain of others. NEED A COPY? Another service to the community being added by the McHenry Nunda library district on Lily Lake road is a copying machine that reprints all size papers and articles. The machine may be used during hours the library is open: Tuesdays, 10 to 12 and 1 to 6; Thursdays, 2 to 8; Fridays 2 to 7; and Saturdays, 10 to 4. NEWEST RESIDENT Jeffrey Michael Barker made his arrival into the world Sunday, Sept. 30, weighing 7 lbs., 6 oz., and measuring 20 inches long. Mother, Cindy, father, Roger, and brother Timmy are all very happy over the new addition. In fact, Tim said he was "in seventh heaven" when his new brother and mother came home Wednesday, Oct. 3. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Oct. 11 - Lakemoor village meeting, 8 p.m. . The Nature Conservancy has exercised an option tojpurchase the 80-acre Frisch tract, which is directly adjacent to the Hickory Grove Conservation site, just north of Fox River Grove. Once the property has been acquired by Uie. Con­ servancy, it will be offered to the McHenry County Con­ servation district in early 1980. The property is a high priority acquisition for the district, as it seeks to complete its addition to the Hickory Grove Con­ servation site. "We are certainly pleased that we can work with the McHenry County Conservation district on this project," remarked George Covington, chairman of the Illinois Chapter of the Nature Con­ servancy. "While we work with many public agencies, we are most inpressed with the district's program of patural can continue to assist the district in these endeavors." The Conservancy acquisition secures a vital portion of the larger Lyons prairie and marsh complex, which the district is purchasing on its own behalf. ' When all acquisitions aro^ conpleted in 1980, the Hickory Grove site will be over 600 acres, making it the largest' area of the District. The area ~ will secure 2.5 miles of Fox river frontage, and will en­ compass woods and areas for the fragile Lyons prairie and marsh. The prairie and marsh complex has been identified by the Illinois Natural Areas inventory as being high quality and very .. : • p.. v. •* , ' Qfi A^rac .1 i* TV •MM X' '•?; , area acquisition' We hope we Conservancy has been able to important assist us in this project," said Ken Fiske, executive director of the (tfstrict. "Our goal is to secure natural and open areas throughout McHenry county, and the Lyons prairie and marsh has been our top priority, in the Fox River Conservation area. The people of our county will tiow have an opportunity to view' this vestige of our •County's natural heritage/' T h e C o n s e r v a n c y ' s buffer,' acquisition is part 6f its Fox ' River Conservation Union program, a concentration of activity in the four counties of "McHenry, DuPage, Kane and DeKalb.

Handicapped Vet Helps Others A blinded, armless Vietnam era veteran with a phenomenal memoryfor the needs and goals of the patients he helps at the Hines Veterans Administration Medical center has been named one of the ten Outstanding Federal Handicapped Em­ ployees of 1979. He is Hilliard A. Carter, a 38- year-old social work associate who was wounded at Tuy Hoa, Vietnam, as a member of the 101st Airborne Division and who was once a patient at the Blind Rehabilitation center at the hospital where he now works. Carter is a key figure on the hight-turnover alcohol treat­ ment ward to which he is assigned. In addition to the professional services he provides, he is an inspiration to patients who are themselves physically handicapped. Recently he was called to a Chicago area community Oct. 15 - free blood pressure screening, 7-9 p.m. - Lakemoor municipal building. Love isn't love until you give it away.

Carter and the other nine agency-sponsored finalists in the annual award program, will be honored in ceremonies in the nation's capital on Oct. 4. In nominating him, Carter's superiors at Hines cited his dependability and * his "positive, supportive attitude" toward the patients with whom he deals - an attitude "which conveys his respect for them." "Mr. Carter consistently approaches assignments with enthusiasm and confidence, which is encouraging to the staff he works with and patients he interviews," the citation reads. 7 "He is able to deal solemnly with people when the situation demands it, but he is also able to rely on his quick wit and humor in other appropriate situations -with- staff and-- patients despite the massive physical losses with which he must constantly contend." A native of Jacksonville, Fla, Carter entered the Army in 1963 and volunteered for airborne training at Ft. Benning, Ga. he served in"Vietnam from December 1965 until he was wounded in September 1966. He received a bachelor of general studied degree in 1974 from Roosevelt University in Chicago, and a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling and psychology in 1976 from the mim+mrnm• r .rs Pnois Institute, of Technology.
