\ & By Dick Rabbit) All McHenry High School athletic teams are involved In • tournaments this week with the exception of swimming. • Coach Mike Shanahan has decided to give his iwimmers • time off from competition during the holidays. However, i Marty Sobczak will take Us '̂Rassling warriors" to • Rockford to participate in the Boylan tourney. Coach • Vera Peterson girls' basketball team will be at North! Chicago, and Ken Ludwig will take his Warriors to the 12-! team Elgin tourney. The Elgin tourney has been reduced i from a 16-team affair to a 12-team meet For a lot of ! reasons this tournament has not taken hold during the • past several seasons. It is one of the few tourneys in the ! state that has had some financial problems. Poor timing of games could be considered one of the i reasons for this tournament not to get off the ground. With ! Elgin, St. Edward's of Elgin, and Dundee which could be i considered a local school, pairings have not been made to I take advantage of the home crowd which is expected to i make the tourney a financial success. Last year was a prime example. Elgin St. Edward's I played McHenry at 3:30 p.m. and Dundee played the i game prior to the Warriors. I would guess that last year : there were about 150 people in the gym for both games.: Have the local teams play at night, when a larger crowd is expected, especially Airing the week. Elgin also has a lot: of paid worders, in fact too many. Not that I am against: Fishing Derby At Crystal Lake Jan. 13 2L. • • £.*&' 1 Senior Hot Line The Crystal Lake in cooperation with the Crystal Lake Park District, announces their seventh annual ice fishing derby. The contest is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 13 and is the kick-off for Crystal Lake Winterfest. The derby will be held at the west beach area from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be six prizes per hour for the largest fish in six different species, along with a grand prize for each species at the end of the contest. There will be prizes for an ice auger contest scheduled for 1:30 and for the kids contest at 2. 4 Parking is free. Admission nominal. Bait will be available at the gate. Illinois fishing regulations apply. Advance tickets are available at the Crystal Lake Park District office at the main beach during normal working hours. (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. I hear a lot about the Senior Action centers, in Chicago and Springfield, which are operated by Lietuenant Governor Dave O'Neal's office. I wonder if the SAC's are doing a worth­ while job? A. Maybe these facts will help you decide. In 1978, direct compared to 1976, over five /-"questic Warrior Tankers Win First Meet : teing paid for working, but in a situation where you want ; to make money, use some volunteers. I haven't checked wtih Bill Blankenhorn the A.D. at: j McHenry, but would bet that our share of the gate : ; receipts, don't meet expenses. That is one reason the : I Warriors didn't return to the Kankakee tournament It is too bad that McHenry doesn't have housing I ; facilities to host teams from out of the area. If they could : • provide some type of housing, whereby teams would not: i have to travel a great distance, the Warriors could host a i i great tourney. The facilities at West Campus are great.j : we could bring teams in from all parts of the state, and i I'm sure that Warrior fans would support good high sdiool \ basketball. I hope powers above me, will take notice and j give it some thought. Congratulations to Eddie Hughes for his fine performance at' the Harvard Invitational Wrestling Tournament. This meet is one of the finest in this part of the state. The Warrior won the 167 lb. title against real tough competition, and this should give Ed the confidence he needs for future matches. The Warriors finished 10th in i the meet. Going down Memory Lane this week, we take you back i to the McHenry County tourney held at Crystal Lake in : 1964, a mere 25 years ago. The Warriors in a fine display ; of offense defeated Harvard by the score of 83 to 48. The "Old Warrior" Cliff Fulton had his crew flying high ; that night as the Hornets were no match for the Warriors., : Blake with 19 and Jackson with 18 led the Warrior attack. To all of you in Warriorland we wish you a Most Happy ; New Year. McHENRY COUNTY TOURNEY JANUARY, 1954 AT CRYSTAL LAKE Harvard Coach Mike Shanahan's McHenry - High swimmers won their first meet of the year when they defeated Dundee 97-73 at West Campus last week. The Warriors picked up nine first place finishes in defeating the Cardunals. cV Warriors Scorers 200 Medley Relay: 1st., Gregg, Budaj, Weyland and Grom. 200 Freestyle: 1st., Petty. 200 I.M.: 1st., Weyland. 2nd.,.

Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott has an­ nounced that a series of hearings will be held around ,ihe state to obtain public comment on regulations proposed by his office to place controls on "buyers" clubs. . / Scott said his Consumer Protection division has handled about 1,500 com­ plaints in recent years relating to consumer problems with purchases made through the clubs. The clubs are cooperative purchasing associations which attract members with their plans to provide merchandise at reduced prices, based on cooperative volume purchasing. The hearings include Thursday, Jan. 10,11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Room 2000,160 North LaSalle street, Chicago. Interested persons, in­ cluding Club operators, may submit written comments at the hearings or present verbal observations, or both. Complaints handled by Scott's office about the clubs' operators range from non-delivery or ordered items to the closure of club operations in their entirety, resulting in the full loss of rmembership fees. S c o t t ' s p r o p o s e d regulations will define "lifetime" participation, provide a "cooling-off period" for contract can­ c e l l a t i o n , e l i m i n a t e deceptive sales practices and ordering practices, and require the posting of a bond to assure the club'^ financial stability. Scott said the promulgation of the regulations would correct the present situation where hundreds of club members b e c o m e f i n a n c i a l times more senior citizens and the disabled were served by either telephoning and writing the Senior Action centers or contacting our offices in person. For in­ stance, in 1976, 7,700 persons were given assistance, while, in 1978, 40,300 elderly and disabled were helped in finding answers to their questions. In 1977, Lieutenant Governor O'Neal took over operation of the SAC's and 23,500 persons were served that year, over three times more than in 1976. During the first nine months of 1979, the SAC's provided service to 33,800 persons, compared to 33,370 for the first nine months of 1978. The credit for this sharp increase in service to senior citizens and the disabled can be shared with my Senior Action center staff by the many hundreds of people in government on all levels, state, county and local, who are dedicated to helping these people cut through all kinds of bureaucratic red tape. • Q. What is the purpose of the Senior Action Centers and what are the major problems senior citizens and the disabled share? A. The SAC's are not referral services, staff members take down in­ formation from the persons who contact them and make "hostages" of the club, making it difficult for Scott's office to crack down on questionable operations without harming the con­ sumers who have paid for "memberships". anywhere from one to three more telephone calls UKind the answers to their questions. The senior citizen or the disabled person only has to make one telephone call and the SAC staff does the rest and then follows this up by re-contacting the person who initiated the request. In this way, senior . citizens and the disabled get answers to their Questions. The problems which seniors report most frequently to the SAC's in­ clude tax rebates, such as the Circuit Breaker, housing, health, food and nutrition, transportation, and others of a social nature. It is worth noting that the .Senior Action centers are staffed by senior citizens who have developed an expertise in problems confronting the elderly and disabled and therefore, have an appropriate knowledge of the means and available resources to provide an­ swers to .these questions where possible. Write the Senior Action centers at 160 North LaSalle street, Chicago, 111., 60601, or No. 3 West Old Town mall, Springfield, 111., 62701 with questions or concerns about any government agency or programs, or call, statewide: toll free 800-252- 6565. • If you're dieting, don't elimi­ nate the pasta.
