LAKEMOOR-LILYMOOR, AREA Margaret Karas 385-4934 Flooding Core In Lakemoor Areas in Lakemoor are suffering due to the heavy rains this April. School buses are not able to travel all the streets,nor are all gqfbage collections possible. In the event of a fire or medical problem, emergency vehicles would not be able to reach some residents. This problem was brought to the attention of the village board at the April'l4 meeting. Again, there was no definite solution. Residents are asked to contact their congressmen to ask for assistance that may be available. Many people are willing to clean out culverts, dig ditches, or help in any way they can. But there must be direction to ascertain the best way to alleviate this community problem. Also discussed was the blight of the five burned-out homes in Lakemoor, the shells of which are still standing. The legal way to go to clear these properties is to get con­ demnation orders, locate the owners, and place a lien against the property. In the meantime, the remains of these residents who keep up their homes and try for a nice looking community, feel embarrassed to have visitors. The board noted that one of the houses would be taken care of this week, with the cost of demolishing the other four to be included in the budget discussion at the next meeting. The newly formed Lakemoor Civic Improvment Association will meet at the municipal building April 21, at 7 p.m. One way concerned residents can help themselves is through sharing ideas and working together with consistency and dedication in the face of not seeing "touch ac­ complished. It is only with persistence that these seemingly insolvable problems will be at least partially resolved. LIBRARY VOTE Our area residents on April 12, voted for trustees of the McHenry Nunda Library District. The majority also gave their consent to add to the size of the library district. However, voters outside the district decided they would rather be in an unserviced areas as far as library useage was concerned. The library will still be housed in a new building this year without a raise in any taxes. Perhaps there will be a limit in services to those people who are not in the district. Your continued support is ap­ preciated. Your library will provide for the needs the community ex­ presses. Celebrate National Librarv Week by being an active participant in our growing library community. LAKEMOOR ELECTION RESULTS The Lakemoor Village Board will have three new people this term. Pacita (Pat)* Morrison returns to a role in civic duty. Senior citizens will be well represented by Raymond Embrey, with newcomer Richard Frazier providing balance. Alice Owen running unopposed, was elected village clerk. May the village board be open to and listening to the problems of the residents and able to offer constuctive solutions. SPECIAL DAYS On April 21, wishes for peace, strength and acceptance go to Carl Stromley, whose wife Jackie is hospitalized with a heart condition. Marion Arneson celebrates her birth the same date. Pearl Zabroski adds a year on the 23rd. Three candles will be on Brett Alan Willhoit's cake. Parents Nancy and Alan and sister Katie will help in the celebration. George and Edna Garbacz will recognize their wedding anniversary April 22. Wishes for good health also go to Edna who has had several hospital stays recenUy. Michael and Lorene Martin celebrate their an­ niversary April 26. DOG SHOW VISITING AND MOUNTAINS On Feb. 26, Charles and Marguerite .Nettles of Lakemoor had their motor home packed with provisions, and their dogs, for a six-week trip to Arizona. Several dog shows resulted in additional ribbons for their poodles. Visited were Daisy's parents, Vernon and Clara Maynard, former residents of the McHenry area for over 50 years. Of special pleasure were trips to the mountains, leaving an 80 degree Phoenix for a 16 degree mountain four hours later. The Oak Creek Canyon, where the Church of the Holy Cross is carved into the red rock moun­ tainside, is open continuously for meditation and prayer. Part of the pleasure of the mountain areas was the smell of fresh dry air, with the mingling of orange blossoms and other flowering plants. On their return trip, Charles' parents in Decatur were visited. There has been illness, so their \tait was deeply appreciated. Charles and Marguerite came home on Easter, to return to the daily concerns and joys of home, friends and work. Welcome home, we are the richer for your return.
