Lakemoor-Lilymoor Area Margaret Karas 385-4934 Renovation Continues i Anyone traveling Lily Lake road this past week has been amazed and probably shocked at the progress the construction company under * the direction of Chuck Dixon has made in redoing the one mile northernmost strip of L>ly Lake road in Nunda township. The road side has been denuded of most trees to make way for the new drainage tiles, and the road itself has been cut down over two feet in many spots, with fill-ins of the valleys to make an almost level street out of a pleasant country road. It has been a hazard to drive, but that does not seem to slow our Lily5 Lake road „ speedsters. The men working on the construction of this new roadway, have done an excellent job. Their working time is really spent working, not as some other road crews and utility company em­ ployees do. Eight hours are spent in using the monstrous machinery, getting the job done as efficiently and quickly as possible. Still questioned, however, is the reason for all this activity. If only LeRoy Geske, Nunda Township Road Commissioner, the coordinator of this job, had been Commissioner of Water Conservation. Then, all the moneys expended for a roadway, that was not asked for, and really was not needed, could have been used for the restoration of Lily Lake, with everyone in the community benefiting from a clean, deep body of water. And probably at less cost. BOOK SALE Want to add to your per­ sonal library? The McHenry Nunda Library is having its annual surplus book sale Nov. 8 and 9. Jim Adams is providing the space in his new building at 1807 W. Route 120 in Kent Acres. Anyone wishing to donate books for the sale may do so : by bringing them to the library on Lily Lake road, telephone 385-3603. Do come to browse and buy on Saturday from 10 to 5 or Sunday from 1 to 5. Proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase needed books for the library. WEDDING Ralph Freeman, son of Lenora Freeman, and Pamela Sobszek, daughter of Theresa and the late Joseph Sobszek of Cary, were married in the United Pentacostal church in Lakemoor on Sunday, Oct. 26. Pamela was given in marriage by her brother Michael, and her sister Michelle was matron of honor. Ronald Freeman was his brother's best man. Pam was lovely in a baby blue gown with white lace trim and white veil. The first ceremony the new Mr. and Mrs. Freeman performed after their wedding was the presen­ tation of a rose to each mother-in-law. As they came back down the aisle, Ralph gave Mrs. Sobszek a rose, and Pamela gave one to Lenora. This was a very touching expression of love and appreciation. Following the ceremony, a reception for about 150 guests was held at Casey's on River road. A fitting climax for a lovely wedding. HALLOWEEN PARTY Robbie Huffman was all wrapped up for the Halloween party he attended last Thursday. Mother Prudence was the designer of the mummy costume in which Robbie was enclosed. Thankfully, Robbie's wrapping were tattered sufficiently so he could enjoy the games and refresh­ ments. The finishing touch for Robbie would have been using Skip Gurske's casket, but perhaps that would have been too realistic. NEW GRANDCHILD Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dorsey are now the proud grandparents of a third granddaughter. Kim Michelle Dorsey was born Oct. 1, weighing in at 7 lbs., 12Vfe oz., at the Memorial hospital in Woodstock. Kim's parents are Michael and Roxanne Dorsey of Pistakee Terrace. The maternal grandmother is Mrs. Donald Freund of McHenry. Happy with their new baby sister are seven-year Kelly Ann and two-year-old Kristy Lee. What a Christmas this family will have this year! SYMPATHY Alyce Kowal of Lakemoor lost her sister, Harriet Weddle, on Oct. 16. She had been ill for two years, but final separation is always painful regardless of how much preparation there is. Alyce and Andy drove to Pontiac, Mich., on Sunday, Oct. 18, for the funeral. It was a long difficult drive for them. They stayed with family in Michigan, returning home on Oct. 23. This will probably be Alyce and Andy's last trip north, making it an even more poignant memory. Our sympathy, dear friends. CONDOLENCES Stephen Wijas, who died Oct. 28, is remembered by many people in our com­ munity. For many years he and his lovely wife Lil, who died 12 years ago, were the proprietors of the Club Lilymoor, now the Long Horn Steak House. Sym­ pathy is extended , to his daughter Arlene, sons Chris and Robert and grand­ children. DOGS MISSING Tasha, a white german shepherd, not yet full grown, female and with very pointed ears, is missing from her fenced-in area by the library on Lily Lake road. Owners, Deadrich and Connie Taylor would ap­ preciate knowing if anyone has seen Tasha as baby James is particularly unhappy about her disap­ pearance. Call 385-6303. Bobo, the female Sheltie who has been missing for several weeks, and was last seen in the Lily Lake road area, has as yet not been returned to the sad owners. A reward has been offered for Bobo's return. Call Helping Paws 1-459-2641 with any information. BIRTHDAY TIME Ronnie Bonesz will be eight years old Nov. 6, the same date as Suzie Coughlin's birthday. Herb Polinski and Shawn Hager share Nov. 7. Another celebration in the James Hager household takes place Nov. 8, Autumn's birthdate. On Nov. 9, Toni Victor of Lilymoor will be receiving birthday wishes. STOLEN Batteries seem to be very popular with the "takers" in Lilymoor. Mitzi Gurske had her car parked on Southside, and thought it wouldn't turn over because of a faulty starter. An automotive examination showed the problem to be - no battery! someone had needed Mitzi's very used, recharged, almost dead battery more than she did. La Verne Schueler had the same problem several months ago. Evidently some persons in the area are having starting problems, and are solving same by stealing batteries from parekd cars. Unbeknownst to the takers, the stolen ones were of very little value. Hopefully, the next ones will be purchased not purloined. At least that way there will be a guarantee.

Rollins The Public Safety com­ mittee of the McHenry county board has requested Chairman, Richard O. Klemm, to proclaim Nov. 16 through Nov. 22 as Winter Preparedness week. Winter storms kill per- sistently-from year to year- by both direct and indirect means. Attributable deaths come from automobile accidents, overexertion, exhaustion and consequent fatal heart attack, exposure and fatal freezing as well as home fires, carbon monoxide poisoning in stalled cars, falls on slippery walks, and electrocution from downed wires. Listen to your local radio station, Weather service radio, or your local television station to keep informed of current forecasts in your area. The terms "watch" and "warning" are used for winter storms, as for other natural hazards. "Watch" means severe winter weather conditions may affect your area. "Warning" means severe winter weather conditions are imminent and immediate actions should be taken to protect life and property. A "blizzard" is the most dangerous of all winter storms. It combines cold air, heavy snow, and strong winds that blow the snow about and may reduce visibility to only a few yards. A "blizzard warning" is issued when the Weather service expects a con­ siderable accumulation of falling and-or blowing snow with winds of 35 mph or greater. A "severe blizzard warning" means that a considerable accumulation of falling and-or blowing snow is expected, with winds , of at least 45 mph and temperatures of 10 degrees or lower. A "heavy snow" warning usually means an expected snowfall of four inches or more in a 12-hour period, or six inches or more in a 24- hour period. "Travelers' Advisories" are issued to indicate that snow, sleet, and freezing rain or drizzle will make driving difficult. "Ice Storm" is the term used to describe freezing rain or drizzle when a substantial glaze layer accumulates. Sidewalks, streets, and highways become extremely hazar­ dous to pedestrians and • motorists; more than 85 percent of ice-storm deaths are traffic related. Keep an adequate supply of heating fuel on hand and use it sparingly as regular supplies may be curtailed by storm conditions. If necessary, conserve fuel by keeping the house cooler than usual, or by "closing off" some rooms tem­ porarily. Stock an emergency supply of food and water. Your supplies should include food that required no cooking or refrigeration and emergency cooking facilities in case of power failure. Beware of possible fire hazards due to overheated coal or oil-burning stoves, fireplaces, heaters, or furnaces. Keep simple tools and equipment needed to fight a fire on hand as fire department help may not be available. Have a flashlight, extra batteries or candles and mdtbhes and a battery- powered radio with extra batteries. The radio will allow you to follow the storm's progress and keep you posted on any emergency information broadcasts by local authorities. Downed power lines can affect not only lights but heating equipment as well. If your furnace is controlled by a thermostat and your electricity is cut off by a storm, the furnace probably would not operate and you would need emergency heat. Some type of 'emergency heating equipment and fuel would allow you to keep at least one room of the house warm enough to be livable. This could be a camp stove with fuel, or a supply of wood or coal if you have .a fireplace. However, be careful using emergency heating equipment-proper ventilation is essential and extra caution must be taken to prevent fire. It yo your home should lose heat, keep water pipes from freezing by wrapping them in insulation made for water pipes, or in layers of old newspaper, lapping the ends and tying them around the pipes. Cover the newspapers with plastic to keep out the moisture. If extremely cold and there is a danger of freezing, let the faucets drip a little. Know where the valve for shutting off the water coming into the house or apartment is located. As a last resort, you may have to shut off the main valve and drain all the pipes to keep them from freezing and bursting. If despite your efforts the pipes do freeze, open faucets wide to allow for expansion of the frozen water. Remove any newspaper that may be around the pipe. Wrap pipes with rags and pour hot water over the rags, with the faucets still open. The chairman has requested McHenry County emergency Services and Disaster agency to make available additional in­ formation on winter safety This information may be obtained at the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency office at 2200 N. Seminary avenue. Woodstock, III., or by telephoning 815-338-6400 Set Film Series The third annual Atodubon Wildlife Film series will be presented in early 1981 at the Woodstock Opera House.
