Hopefully, the motorists will take notice of these signs, plus the 30-mile an hour signs that have already been up. Lakemoor: Appreciation goes to township Road Commissioner, Regner, for being aware of the fact that motorists do not always pay attention to 30 mph signs, and hopefully the new/signs will make them more aware of children in the area. is BEAUTIFICATION "Ringwood Commons" looking good. Residents of Ringwood have noticed the condition of the park due to some good citizens who are taking their time and equipment to keep it that way. Our ap preciation goes to Pat and Ted Malo (whom we have seen) doing their bit, and to anyone else who has taken time to help out in any way whatsoever. Fosses move to California Hefii and Rick Foss, who lived in Lakemoor for quite a few years, left for their new residence in California Sundav May 27. Sons Mark and Troy will stay on with their grand parents in McHenry until the 25th of July, the end of little league season, when they will fly to their new home. This has been a hectic time for Rick and Hedi, with his being away on business, selling their home here, and making all the arrangements in California. Asked if they were going to miss our winters, the response was, "We will be 45 minutes from Big Bear Mountain where there is snow all year for skiing, etc., and thai we can come home to no shoveling snow in our driveway." And 45 minutes in the other direction finds them at the Pacific ocean shore, where swimming and water sports are available all year. We are sad to see the Fosses leave, but happy for the new adventures they will be en joying. ir •• -- Margaret Karas 385-4934 AWARDS Vanessa Urban of Lakemoor received a Top Scholar award from the Kiwanis Club of McHenry on her graduation from Parkland.

VISIT RELATIVES Virginia and Clayton Bruce had a most enjoyable trip to southern Illinois a couple of weeks ago. They attended the convention of Retired Federal Employees at Effingham, 111. and then visited Clayton's sister in Cisne. One of the highlights was being with Clayton's great aunt, Jane Wood, a resident in a rest home in Fairfield and who celebrated her one-hundredth birthday May 17. This was a very happy time for everyone. Naturally, the trip wouldn't be complete without dropping in at the "coffee shop" to visit with old friends and Clayton's brother and nephews, most of whom are employed in the oil fields in the area. . The folks also visited the cemetery where loved ones have been buried. One thing they observed about the countryside, there had been no field work done because of the extremely wet ground from all the rain this spring.
