Scouts Of SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH It, • • • Sunnysjkle Area Be t t y Messe r 344 2494 .... . . ! They believe in fun and Just "clowning" around. They're proud of their country and its flag. "Doing things" and "having fun" are two of the things girls look for in Girl Scouting. Through a variety of experiences and adventures, girls increase their understanding of the community, each other and themselves. These pictures show some of the activities of scouting. The Flag ceremony is a means of expressing feelings of friendship and patriotism. The Girl Scout promise asks girls to serve "God, their Country and Mankind". Taking trips to new places, such as the farm, fosters curiosity in the how and why of things. Camping teaches outdoor skills and at the same time gives girls an appreciation of the natural environment. All of McHenry's troops join together during Neighborhood events such as "Nickel Day in the Park" to make new friends and have fun with the "old". Other activities include a Mother-Daughter Fashion show, a Father-Daughter banquet, a booth at McHenry's Trade fair, a Fiesta day float, a summer Day camp, clean-up days at McHenry's parks and collecting food for charitable organizations. Girls from first grade through high school have learned a sense of importance as an individual and as a member of the community from participating in Scouting. Girl Scouting is 68 years old March 12. They (ove animals and learn about their care. M - / They enjoy the outdoors, and especially camping. Urging Snowmobile Safety A rash of snowmobile accidents has claimed the lives of 10 persons so far this year in Illinois, 7 of them in the Chicago area. Besides the record high death toll, 23 persons have been injured in ^accidents. The approach of Spring may keep figures from rising. Apparent overanxiousness to take advantage of this winter's unusually light snowfall has led many snowmobilers to take un­ necessary chances, par­ ticularly in snowmobiling over thin ice, said Con­ servation Police Officer Don Goodwin. Several fatalities were caused by snowmobiles going through the- ice, Goodwin noted,. adding, "This year I can't honestly say there has been a safe time for snowmobiling on some of the larger lakes where stream channels contribute to deceptively thin ice." During 1978 there were only two snowmobile fatalities in the entire state and only one during 1979, according to Illinois Department of Conservation Law Enforcement Division records. State law stipulates that persons involved in accidents causing injury or death must report the ac­ cident to the Department of Conservation within 48 hours. Those involved in accidents causing property damage or minor injury must report within 5 days. The antics of a few amateur "Evel Knievels" on snowmobiles might be amusing if the consequences of their acts weren't so serious. Consider these examplesi__ --A man tries to cross five feet of open water on his "competition" snowmobile, thinking he will be able to skip over the unfrozen section like a stone. Instead he sinks like a stone. Luckily he is uninjured but gets very cold and pays a lot of money to retrieve his snowmobile. -A Lake County man spending an evening out with friends, decides at 2 a.m. to cut across Pistakee Lake on his way home. He goes through the ice and is not seen alive again. -Snowmobile tracks four feet away from open water on the Fox River. Snowmobilers should give open water areas a wide berth and make it their business to know where stream and septic system outflows could contribute to thin ice, Goodwin said. Any snowmobilers out after dark should use extra caution in avoiding open water, thin ice, fences and ravines, he said. -------T--- An unusually large number of snowmobilers this year have either gone through the ice or cruised into open water, he said. Besides being un­ comfortable and dangerous, dunking your snowmobile can be costly. Some marinas charge $150 an hour to retrieve submerged snowmobiles. With repairs, the bill can easily run $500. Another highly risky maneuver is eluding police.. This heightens a snowmobiler's chances of becoming involved in an accident, and can lead to a stiff fine. Fleeing and eluding is a Class "A" misdemeanor. Many of those involved in accidents and arrested are young people who live in the area in which they snowmobile and whose parents allow them to take their machines out any time they wish, Goodwin ob served. Perhaps predictably the increase in serious accidents has come at a time when enrollment in snowmobile safety classes seems on the wane, despite last year's record snowmobile registration of 58,317 and as many as 6,000 new registrations this year. The brightest spot in the picture seems to be the role of snowmobile clubs, which generally supply very few, if Hold Examination For Board Of Review Post An examination will be conducted by the Depart­ ment of Local Government Affairs of the State of Illinois at the McHenry county courthouse, 2200 N. Seminary avenue, (Rt. 47), (Room 203), Woodstock, 111. at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 23, for persons wishing to qualify for appointment as a member of the County Board of Review. Two members are to .be appointed from the majority party in the last county election and one member from the party polling the second highest vote. To be eligible for ap­ pointment, a person must be any. of the outlaws. Goodwin said, noting, "The people who belong to the clubs are usually very organized. They promote safety programs and get people registered. qualified by virtue of ex­ perience and training in the field of property appraisal and property tax ad­ ministration and must pass the examination prepared and administered by the Department of Local Government Affairs to determine his competency to hold such office and be a resident of McHenry county. Application blanks and more information can be obtained at the County board office, courthouse. Room 204, Route 47, Woodstock, 111., (Phone 338- 2040. Extension 221). Hold Meeting Tuesday March 4, was the regular monthly meeting of the village and it was a very productive one. All the members agreed that the Village Ordinance Code book should be written and codified. Work is starting on this time­ -consuming project im­ mediately The main topic of the night was the possibility of getting a village hall built this year. Trustee Bill Mitchell in­ troduced a plan to get a hall started this Spring. That is something that has been talked about for several years, but is closer now to being a reality than ever before. Trustee Mitchell's proposal would allow a hall to be built without any tax burden to the villagers; or floating a bond. He would like to work with the funds we have. The hall would house a meeting room, police department and clerk's office, plus a garage for the squad car. Before the next regular monthly meeting, a meeting of the Village Hall Building commission will be held. General opinions were in favor of this proposal, although thpre was some opposition. Once plans go through the building com­ mission, the village will accept bids on what will be required. The village adopted a floodplain ordinance at this meeting, in accordance with the federai government floodplain specifications. Are you interested in seeing a village hall erected this spring? Feedback on this would be appreciated. Everyone is urged to plan on attending the next meeting. Come and find out what is happening in the village and voice your .opinion. This is your village! The village holds two meetings a month, on the first and third Tuesdays. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, March 18, 8 p.m. at the Johnsburg Junior high. See you there? WOMEN'S CLUB The Pistakee Highland's Women's club has always been a very active group, involved in many charitable projects. But this past month, the ladies had a special meeting that was dedicated to their members; a mass birthday party. At this party, birthdays of all the members were celebrated. Instead of one or two birthdays a month, the ladies hold one big birthday party. Refreshments were served and the ladies were en­ tertained by the Lake County chapter of Barber Shop Singers. Fourteen members of the S.T.E.B.S.Q.S.A. entertained and gave the ladies some of the finer points of barber shop singing. The singers were great and the ladies enjoyed the program, plus the lessons. The group h is from Waukegan, and is giving a concert "Everything is Coming Up Roses" Satur­ day, March 22, 7:30 p.m. at the Libertyville high school. If you are interested in barber shop singing, you might like to go.
