FITZGERALD JOHN O'HAGEN Mrs. Roye Roadman, co-chairman of Rescue *50', Harmony Snowmobile club, awards checks totalling $9,247 to Bob Meyers and Don Bentz of the Johnsburg Rescue squad; Phil Gust and Bob Dooley of McHenry Rescue squad and Dave Popenhagen of the Richmond Rescue squad. Michael Friesen of Johannesburg, South Africa, an AFS exchange student residing this year with the Dan Kinnerk family in McHenry, entertains at presentation program following Rescue *50'. The proceeds, raised in this annual event, were distributed to rescue squads of the area last Sunday. A harvest of money collected in the fifth annual Harmony Rescue '50' Snowmobile marathon was presented to McHenry area rescue squads last Sunday at Crescent Bay Landing. Proceeds raised in donations gathered by snowmobile club members from McHenry and western Lake counties resulted in large checks being received by the volunteer squads. Sharing in the bonanza, the Johnsburg and McHenry rescue units equally benefitted in a split of $8,505 in funds raised by McHenry area snowmobile clubs. The Richmond rescue squad received $742 in funds raised by the Richmond Trailblafcer club for its part in the joint event. Total amount recorded for the 1980 Rescue '50' was $9,247, the highest in its short history. Harmony Snowmobile club, organizers of Rescue '50', hosted the presentation ceremony to over 100 par­ ticipants and guests. Awards were also presented to acknowledge large donations and for extra efforts produced in the fund raising. Jim Wright of McHenry was cited by the squads for earning pledges of $2,050, topping his last year's record $1,500. Also honored for raising high amounts were Skip and Dolores Allen, Walt and Doris Low, and numerous others. After the ceremonies, the audience was entertained with songs by Michael Friesen, AFS student from Johannesburg, South Africa, a very entertaining young man who had never seen snow before his stay in McHenry and who par­ ticipated in Rescue '50'. Taken to Wisconsin one weekend by his sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Kinnerk, to find really deep snow, Michael rode a snowmobile 50 miles to earn his pledges. He was awarded a plaque for coming 10,000 miles as Rescue '50's', most distant entrant. The program concluded with sound movies shown of the 1980 Rescue '50' and last year's event, followed by refreshments. Hampered and postponed due to lack of sufficient snow, the usual snowmobile ride over McHenry county trails was replaced Feb. 10 by a parade of cars, trucks, vans and rescue units through McHenry, Rich­ mond and Hebron on the highways. But again, Rescue '50' was a resounding suc­ cess in spirit and substance, raising, record funds for the paramedics.
