WONDER LAKE Anne Sowers 653-9549 Sowers Family « On Dells Trip Last week the Wonder Lake news didn't appear because the Sowers family took a mini-vacation to the Wisconsin Dells. The highlight of the trip for the boys was the water slides, other than that they were bored to death. Now, we hear, water slides have opened up in Dundee only a half an how away instead of a three hour drive which would have been twice as nice for them. Chuck and I looked forward to the Dells boat ride, later we decided our pontoon boat was just about the same plus a whole lot cheaper! Hie pool looked inviting until it was discovered that the temperature of the water wasn't much different than the air (hot). Our lake is less crowded too!! The lake water has been warm also, but at least we don't pay for that! All the authentic Indian souvenirs are interesting until you see a little sticker placed somewhere that reads "Made in Hong Kong". Oh well, the change of scenery was nice, but Wonder Lake has just as much to offer. NATIVITY'S SUMMER VACATION SCHOOL Marlene Parquette, coordinator of the Vacation Bible School says, "The message of God's hope through Christ becomes a part of joyful living for le of all ages as they learn of f's promises through the gospel of Luke. Creative learning experiences and activities will help us realize that God calls them to a life of hope and to a life of sharing that hope with others." This will be the theme of Vacation Bible school starting on Aug. 8 and running through Aug. 12 from 9 a.m. - 12 (noon). Children ages 4 years through eighth grade are invited to attend. A small fee is being asked to cover the cost of materials. If you need further information or would like to register, contact Marlene Parquette at 728-0062.

Famous Levi's Shirts...School Classics taining aU our needs, Mrs. Bach showed how to make silk floral corsages and under ho* guidance, they turned out beautifully, and what's more, thanks to our wonderful instructor, we had fun making them! June found our garden club welcoming our president, Mrs. Elaine O'Slakovic, back in our midst after her auto accident, at Mrs. Marge Dugan's, a vary special meeting. Speaking of welcoming back, one of the greatest sights I've enjoyed also, was seeing this column back in print with "Anne Sowers". Wonder Lake is indeed fortunate to have a reporter who always has a smile in her voice, taking information, in a caring and dedicated way. We missed you Anne! Stay well! We postponed our July meeting, in favor of our annual picnic in August, and cooler weather, we hope! Again, anyone interested in gar­ dening, is most cordially invited to attend our meetings. Mrs. B. Alderson, Publicity Chairwoman HAPPY CELEBRATIONS Delores Wines has been busy at it again bringing about celebrations. On June 25, the family all ventured up to the Twin Lakes Nursing home where Delores's mother, Sophie, is a resident. They were there to celebrate the fifty-sixth wedding_anniversaiy of Spphie and John Qvkes. The Dykes were presented a card designed and created by a staff member with all the staff being represented with their signatures. Cake was then enjoyed by the family. Following that celebration, Sophie had a birthday on July 4 marking her seventy-seventh year. In honor of John's eightieth birthday, Delores held an open house attended by about 80 people on Sunday, July 24. Delores must really enjoy a party because all this was done after having foot surgery and hobbling around with a walker. If she ever retires from teaching, she can always go into the catering business. SPECIAL DAYS Happy birthday on Aug. 4 to Jeff Spencer one of the Wonder Lake Ski club's excellent performers.

PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3,1983 > Teen Outdoor Adventures by Kurt Begalka SHAW Statutes In City Library The McHenry Public library now has the current edition of the Illinois Revised Statutes available for use in the library, according to Mrs. Stuart, librarian. This six-volume set includes all laws now in effect in the state. Sub­ jects such as schools, public health and safety, pensions, elections, wildlife, dram shops, public utilities, and wills and trusts are only a small sample of the coverage of these volumes. These books may^ be consulted whenever the library is open. They will not circulate. This set is being placed in the local library by the Northern Illinois Library system, a regional agency which serves 97 libraries in the 12 northern counties. (WMHMA NEWS SHtVtCS About two years ago, the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Associaton (NISRA) began its Teen Outdoor Adventure camp, in cooperation with area park districts, for mentally- handicapped teenagers to participate in environmental projects benefitting both the parks and themselves. This year the McHenry County Conservation District became in­ volved in the program and provided NISRA with a van for transporting youngsters, rangers and plenty of work projects. Eleven mentally- handicapped teens from Barrington, Crystal Lake and Marengo planned and brushed trails, removed debris and painted. The six-week camp began at The Hollows, a 342-acre abandoned gravel mine located between Cary and Crystal Lake. For three weeks, workers cleared debris and spruced up the place. The entrance gate, boardwalk and 21 picnic tables were painted. "The work they did at The Hollows involved getting the group campsite ready," says MCCD Executive Director Ken Fiske. "We planned on opening it a year from now, but because of the work they did, it will be open the second of October." Bill Kaliher, NISRA recreation specialist and teen camp counselor, says the program's objective is to emphasize vocational and em­ ployment skills. In the process, motor coordination and social skills are improved. "We try to build self-esteem and confidence," Kaliher says. "Any kind of activity is a chance to gain a skill." Plenty of time is reserved for ac­ tivities. The afternoons are spent with group activities, such as archery, mini-golf, singing, baseball, canoeing, fishing and games. At Rush creek, fish printing was the order of the day. Fish--preferably dead--are covered with paint and pressed against paper. Other activities included tours of the McHenry County Historical museum in Union, McHenry County Rehabilitation center, Volo Bog and the McHenry locks. During the fourth week, nine teens participated in the "Swim For Heart," held at the Barrington Park district. Kaliher said 300 to 400 people are served by NISRA annually. He finds his work rewarding because the immediate growth of participants is apparent. 'If • ft- ' like I'm not beir£ h" W. i 11 get out of it," Kaliher says. Ti c siri'le on his face and those of the youngsters suggest that won't be anytime soon.
