• , \ P*f.F>- PLAINDEALER • TUESDAY, JULY 1. lMt «• » * * > f Now, this is a revoltin' development. I was mifted up on the early deadline for next week. Came a call! We hit ^ the jackpot on words for that song men­ tioned in last Wednesday's issue. First came a phone call from Audis Bowlin -- and what do you know - she sang it for me. Then came a call from Editor "Brenda" saying somebody left an envelope for me and said it wasn't sports. Barbara Zamastil is the girl who sent the following. There is nothing like a little help now and then to keep this column in operation. Here 'tis: I DON'T WANT TO PLAY IN YOUR YARD Once there lived side by side two little maids Used to dress just alike, hair down in braids Blue gingham pinafores, stockings of red Little sunbonnets tied on ^each pretty head , When school was over, secrets they'd tell Whispering arm in arm, down by the well ' One day a quarrel came, hot tears were shed You can't play in our yard But the other said: Chorus: I don't want to play in your yard VTI don't like you anymore You'll be sorry when you see me Sliding down our cellar door You can't holler down our rain barrel You can't climb our apple tree I don't want to play in your yard If you won't be good to me There are a couple of little wrens in our back forty who make more noise than a flock of honking geese. Little, but Oh My! At this time our Sox are winning. But, I don't want to brag lest I have to eat the words before another column comes out. I would never refer to my father as "my old man", but realize now that some make such reference meaning no disrespect. When I was a boy, it was considered cute by some to recite this little ditty: My old man was a great old man. He washed his face in the frying pan. He combed his hair with a wagon wheel -- And died with a toothpick iri his heel. These early deadlines slay me. Short as it is, I have to quit for this lime and turn it in.

STAFF PHOTO-JOEL WAKITSCH Spasojevich Leads Hitters In 16" Softball Third Joel Wakitsch Sports Editor Did you ever wonder why newspaper people write their own columns? There are many reasons of course. There are some jour­ nalists, like Earl Walsh for instance, who have words of wisdom, cheer and reminiscence. He is almost obligated to share it with the public. Then there are other writers, like Adele Froehlich for example, who has so much knowledge and so much to talk about that if she didn't spit some of it out on paper she would catch laryngitis. Oh yes, there are those that have nothing to say, but say it anyway. Fortunately, noone at the Plaindealer fits into that category. In the tradition of the pompous** journalists of the time, I too will be coming your way in column form. Maybe not as often as Earl Walsh or, as candidly as Adele Froehlich, but hopefully as effectively as both of them. TOP DECK Why? I'll be analysing sports. I'm pretty lucky because sports is a very con­ troversial field. With Olympic boycotts, free agents, locker room brawls and Howard Cqsell, sports has to be controversial... even in a small-town setting such as McHenry. Why is the Johnsburg- McHenry rivalry as fierce as that of a Bears-Packers game? Should McHenry High School, (as two separate four-year schools), be able to compete as one team? Should women get as much recognition as men athletes? Is winning all that im­ portant in the Little Leagues? All of the above are issues that I'll be tackling in the coming months. Don't get me wrong. I won't J>e shooting off my mouth'or telling half-truths. What I do hope to*rdo is present both sides of an issue through research and interviews and maybe suggest one or several solutions that seem feasible. The best part t>f my column, however, will be you. After getting complaints from girls who want more sports coverage on our pages and hearing irate mothers claim that I spelled their sons name wrong, It's quite obvious that you sports fans have something to say. If you have an opinion on one of my columns, or want to suggest an issue you wotfld like to discuss, let me know in the form of a letter (no phone calls please) and I'll gladly chew on you suggestions for awhile. You may find your own opinion included in my column. By all means, don't be shy because I won't. If I don't hear from you, I'll be out in the street asking you. If you have something to say, write to: The Third Half Sports Editor McHenry Plaindealer 3812 West Elm St McHenry,Illinois P.S. Beware, I'm a Cubs fan.
