STAFF PHOTO - CARL MOESCHE EARL WALSH' So I Hear In our paper box at the back door, we found a note and copy of "Bear News". The note wasn't signed, but none other than Marie Corso must be the contributor. Planned to pick out parts of the note, then thought "What the heck!" -- let's print it. Here goes: Earl- We went to Lake Forest again Thursday. There was a tremendous crowd - must have been baseball fans. Not knowing that the strike would end this week, I bought this "Bear News" paper for you thinking that maybe you could study up on football. If the Bear Players don't exactly excite you - turn to Page 19. We stopped at the Hawthorne Shopping Mall alter practice and learned that Wayne King was playing there. Needless to say we hung around and were very glad we did. Wayne King still plays a mean saxophone. There was a large, orderly crowd - no screaming (I wonder why!) One gentleman sitting near us was 88 and still drives from Lake Zurich to Waukegan three times a week to his job. Sure meet some interesting people at these affairs. We left home at 2:00 and got back at 11:00. Enjoyed every minute. With my curiosity aroused, it didn't take long to turn to page 19. The '81 Honey Bears! Reports on the amount of work those Honeys are put through tell us it isn't just good looks that get them in the select 40 chosen from 400. News of the Chicago Bear team of '81 sounds good. The only thing missing is a picture of Marie with George Halas. I don't like strikes unless a White Sox pitcher slip* three of them across on an op­ posing batter. The other kind of strikes are going to be the ruination of our Country. Too many people get hurt. Big people lose big money. Little people lose what little they have. Things are said and done, causing wounds that can never be healed. As for government em­ ployees striking -- if it is against the law, the law should be enforced. Those who think the law is wrong should try to have it repealed. Hunger strikes puzzle me. How can a starved man have strength enough to fight for what he thinks is right? Today (Wednesday) is my 46th birthday. Or, should I call it an anniversary? Forty-six years ago Bacon's Strip bowed out and this column was looking for a name.

P. 385-0420 hard working alderman and considered one of the best in many years by many ob­ servers. Last Sunday the skies opened up and it rained and rained and rained. Now the lawns are greener than we ever saw in August. This must be great for the power mower business. If you have an old clunker, you may have to put it in the scrap heap. That's it 'til we meet again. ^OUTDOOR Atopics by Bob Browttor 'MERCURY OUTDOOR CONSULTANT RAIN AND FISHING Spring rains may eventually cause blooming flowers, but they also bring frustration to fishermen who don't know how to cope with changing weather conditions. At this time of year, rapid changes in water level, temperature and clarity affect fish feeding and movements. Many species of fish, particu­ larly largemouth black bass, are semi-dormant during winter. The first spring rain, flushing warm water into, streams and lakes, causes a change in the activity of these fish. Bass begin feeding to add fat to their bodies in order to sustain them during the upcoming nesting season. Anglers aware of habitat changes that occur with spring rains can use this knowledge to their advantage, say Mercury outboards' fishing experts. The warmer water stimulates the movement of minnows, frogs and other aquatic creatures which are food for bass. And the runoff also flushes insects and worms into the water, creating additional food. Bass then move to these areas to feed. Fish in the warm, often muddy water at the heads of coves and at stream mouths as soon as possible after a heavy rain, usually within an hour or so. Consider, too, the turbidity of the water when choosing lures. Best baits are those which are highly visible or that make noise when retrieved. With "Beat the Champ" having been rained out last week the ladies at McHenry Country club ran the event in with the first round of Club and Class championship on Tuesday, August 4. Being charitable, Carol Cooney the - current champ shot a net 80 to make it relatively easy for a number of the gals to beat her. And, at that, not everyone took advantage of her good nature. Those in Class A who stayed under the net 80 were iBetty Mohan, Letty Busscher, Alvina Yopp, Virginia Turner and Espar Oja. In Class B those holding to the magic number were Gloria Otth, Caroline Harger, LaVerne Harpling and Irene Kinneman. In Class C Trish Sayler, Fran Weyland and Myrt Johnson took advantage of thfe situation. And in Class D Speedy Neuman, Patty Smith, Jackie Victor and Fran Herrmann joined the "champ" group. Perhaps it was the humidity combined with the heat that made for lesss than spectacular golf as the gals jockeyed for lead position in the first of the three-round event. Being a cumulative scoring in both gross and net, tentative leads have been set. In Class A Cooney leads with 94 gross - 80 net, followed by Yopp 95-78 (that with one horrendous 17th hole), Turner 96-78, Busscher 101-76, Mohan 102- 74 and Oja 104-79. In Class B Gloria Otth holds the lead with 102 gross - 72 net, followed by Harger 103-73, Kinneman 104-75, Harpling 106-74 and Evie Castle 110-80. In Class C the lead was taken by Sayler 116-76, then Johnson 116-79, Floss Miller 117-80, Weyland 118-77 and Betty Rode 119-81. Class D's lead has been set by P. Smith 123-71, then Victor 123-75, Neuman 128-70, Herrmann 126-77 and Toots Gerstad 125- 81. With this week's scoring closely spaced, next week's results could show a change in leadership so it should be interesting to follow. Under the weekly events Betty Mohan had low net of 74 in Class A along with having low putts of 28. In Class B Glorious Gloria had low net of 72 and also low putts of 31. In Claas C it was Trish Sayler's 76 that gave her the low net while Jo Ready had low putt* of 32. In Class D Speedy Neuman low netted with 70 while Rita Sevier and Marcie Wakitsch tied for low putts with 82 each. Only one birdie wa* registered • that by Irene Kinneman on number six. Betty Mohan did some elevento holdf par*and then flying out bf the trap on eighteen, nearly holing out by hitting the flagstick - again to hold an easy par. Some first class putting was exhibited by Virginia Turner as she one-putted five holes in a row • nine through thirteen. Rita Sayler and Kitty Evans, playing in the same foursome, acted like twin* a* they each sank, their ap» proaches on number six. As always, some of tlie moaning and groining was caused by those two natural hazards found on just abOut every golf course • trees and water. Fran Weyland found the water playing ten, seventeen and three (that's the first report of water trouble on three). The trees on several of the fairways kept popping up in Betty Rode's way as they did with Jane Weiss. Jane also had her torment with some of the traps. Joanie Buss' golf mates weren't able to keep her on the straight and narrow as she found the creek on eight by way of the tenth fairway. That makes for greater yardage but maybe next week there'll be Happy Golfing! Liz P.S. A nice note - On July 30 and 31 a cotingency from McHenry - Nell Fidler, Alvina Yopp, Lynn Schmidt, Espar Oja, Virginia Turner, Letty Busscher, Floss- O'Connell and Betty Mohan travelled to Cog Hill to participate in the 17th an­ nual Northern Illinois Women's Golf Association tournament where Virginia took third place in the S e c o n d F l i g h t .
