Mike Nejedly was the instructor in the wood­ working done by the youngsters. All who were under his leadership received awards. Margaret Karas 385-4934 L.L.L.L. The Lily Lake Ladies League had its first get-together of the month at Ann Sosong's home last Wednesday. The winners in the evening's bunco games were Connie O'Rourke first, Sophie Paterson second, and Ann Sosong boobie and special prizes. Connie was hostess, outdoing even herself with a special dessert using pretzels as a crust. Discussed were plans for the annual Christmas party-(yes Christmas is coming!). And Julia Kraus enjoyed sharing her happiness over the way her favorite-for-all-these-many- yearsCubs are playing and winning. Let's all cheer for a pennant! FL., WI.f LAKEMOOR Peggy Gorski of Lakemoor has had a very busy summer. She flew to Tampa, FL. July 27, on a business trip, to take .in­ ventories of several stores which were included in the change of ownership of the company she works for. She spent seven days in various cities, but was also able to enjoy Busch Gardens, a bit of swimming and other sight­ seeing. She was home Thursday the 2nd of August, in time to prepare for a camping trip starting the next day, which included her husband Al, their three sons and two friends. The seven spent three days in Wisconsin, with the first night spent in wet tents as it rained and rained. A good time was had by all, but a tired Peggy was happy to return to her own home and sleep in her own bed. HOW TO KEEP WARM Toni and Joe Yerkes spent a day in Milwaukee Aug. 6. The state fair was fun but it was hot- hot-hot. Joe found a nice spot to relax and met some interesting older folk to reminisce with, while Toni enjoyed (?) the sights, finally having to drip-dry after all the perspiration! Then, on to the Sox-Brewers game, with the Sox winning, due of course to the cheering of Toni and Joe. Leaving the stadium was a bit frustrating, as Joe found himself returning to the place of entry, having made a bit of a miscalculation. But they did make it back to their pleasant cool home, adding a happy hot day to their memory bank. NOISE-DESTRUCTION Noise pollution can be as damaging to people as refuse can be to the environment. Tuesday, at about 3 a.m., the stillness of the moonlit night was destroyed by the antics of some yo-yo on a dirt bike, ac­ celerating through the side streets of Lilymoor and Lakemoor. For over one and a half hours our ears were bombarded by this raucous noise. The sheriff was almost called-or perhaps was by others who were kept awake by this unlawful use of a vehicle on roads. Mailbox destruction time is here again. Carl Stromley's is battered once more, and several others on Lily Lake road look the worse due to vandalism. Are there no better ways to channel energy than in noise and destruction? C&NW steam locomotive at Harvard and Crystal Lake The Chicago and North Western, Steam Locomotive 1385 will again be traveling through the McHenry County area on the 1984 "goodwill tour". On a journey from Freedom, Wis. to Proviso, Illinois, just west of Chicago, the train will make stops in Harvard and Crystal Lake on Sunday, August !19. Approximate arrival times are as follows: Harvard, 1:30 p.m. and Crystal Lake, 2:15 p.m. A true museum piece, the locomotive was built in 1907 by American Locomotive Company at Schenectady, New York, and was one of 275 R-l Class locomotives used on the North Western. The "ten wheeler" locomotives originally handled main line passenger and freight trains at speeds up to 60 mph. As train sizes and weights in­ creased and the larger and more JOHN F.

ELM ST. 344-3252 SttVKK THE WEST IN 3 WEEKS Vickie and Guy Delp, with children Heidi, Grant and Rachael, but minus the dog, traveled 5,500 miles in three weeks, seeing our country all the way to the Pacific and back. Their first stay was in Wiconsin, seeing the sights at the Dells. Then on to Mitchell, SD., the home of the Corn Palace. Vickie was interested in the digs going on in that area, with the discovery of past Indian civilizations. Then on to the Bad Lands and, of course, Wall (or is it Wahl?) Drugs-The largest one. Mount Rushmore was viewed from different angles, always with the amazement of such a tremendous undertaking, carving the heads of our country's leaders in the stone of the mountain. On to Custer's State Park in Battlefield, MT. Seeing buffalo and donkeys was a great thrill for the youngsters. What does any one say about the Grand Tetons but magnificent? The lava covered area in Idaho was very in- teresting-what an awesome time that must have been so many thousands of years ago. Now there is good soil, where the Idaho baking potatoes are grown. The Delps visited former Lakemoor residents Kathy and Patrick Loss, now with nine children! They have built their home in a mountain side near Boise, ID. The Pinea Rivers Rapids are near by, as are the Saw Tooth Mountains. Oregon was the next target area, where relatives awaited our vacationers. Crater Lake, where the Delps romped in the snow, had been formed when a volcano had literally "blown its top", leaving a huge hole that is now filled with turquoise colored water. On the return trip, Yellowstone Park with its bubbling boiling mud pots, and the hot water shot up forming geysers, with the perfumed smell of sulphur, were seen, smelled and marvelled at. Keeping little Rachael under constant surveillance was a necessary chore, but one all members of the family are accustomed to. In Wyoming, the Big Horn Mountains were the largest formations seen. Then it was just traveling back home, with the three-week odyssey now a memory.

BIRTHDAYS PAST Her first year as a teenager will be remembered by Jenny Acred as beginning with a birth­ day party at which she was guest of honor. On Aug. 11, her grandmother, Mrs. Dorothy Atkins of Lakemoor, had a cookout for 20 people, relatives and friends, who came to wish Jenny a happy birthday. Jenny is active in sports and has been on the honor roll in school. She received many lovely gifts at her first teenaged party. May the coming years before adulthood be a special time of growth and pleasure for her and her family. Happy birthday wishes were sent by ESP to Pearl Abernathy, on, Aug. 15, as she was on vacation in Kentucky on her special day. BIRTHDAY PRESENT Billie Nejedly will be wished birthday happiness on Aug. 17 from the special people in her life, husband Mike and children Tracie and Ronnie Bonesz. Nancy Schuft adds a year Aug. 19.

BIRTHDAY, FUTURE John James Nixon will be celebrating an important bir­ thday Aug. 30. It will be his eighteenth year; he will be eligble to vote in our country's elections. His father called to check regarding registration, which can be done at the McHenry Nunda Library. John will be able to vote in the November election after he registers, by using an absentee ballot, as he will not be in Lakemoor at that time. Happy eighteenth, John. This will be an exciting year for you. It will be a good springboard into adulthood, due to the strong foundation given you by your family. GOD BLESS Ringwood: Former residents pay a visit p o w e r f u l l o c o m o t i v e s developed, the R-l locomotives were displaced into branch line, local and yard service, where they remained until the end of the steam operation on the North Western. The train is now on loan from the Mid-Continent Railway Museum. It will be accompanied by its tender, an auxiliary tank car carrying extra water, and an 80-foot streamlined baggage car. There will be one business car accompanying the train, which is an older car that the North Western purchased from the Genessee and Wyoming in 1980. Chicago and North Western uses the train to demonstrate pride in past accomplishments of the railroad, as well as acquainting people with its present modern rail tran­ sportation capabilities. On Friday of last week the former Peggy Betts of Ringwood, with her husband Ron Jacques and daughters Shawn and Michelle, stopped for a short visit, with Lil and Frank Visconti, on their way home to Mountain Home, Ark. They had planned on staying longer, but as vacations go, they just plain ran out of time. They were sorry not to have seen all of their friends and relatives. Next time maybe they will have more time and not have to spend it in the Chicago area looking for parts. Katy Christopher 385-8037 Doris Low 653-9262 CONDOLENCES The community was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Marge Scott, wife of Brad Scott, on Tuesday morning. Our sin­ cere sympathy goes to her family. ORIENTATION An orientation night will be held for students new to John- sburg Junior High on Wed­ nesday, Aug. 22, at 7:30 pm. This meeting is for students and parents of incoming sixth graders and new seventh or eighth graders entering the junior high.

ABOUT TOWN It was a family reunion of the Baker clan that drew Art, Mary and Laura Baker to Strawberry Point, IA. a couple of weeks ago. While the attendance was not as large as some years, everyone had a wonderful visit. The youngest member in attendance was Art's nephew's five-week- old daughter; and Art's mother was the eldest, enjoying every minute of the day. While at Strawberry Point, the folks went over to the Mississippi River to see barges being loaded with grain and then to watch the barges travel through the locks. It was an interesting sight. Mickey and Michelle Daurio had a fun summer with their cousin, Angela Williams of Oak Lawn, visiting them in Ringwood. It started out that Angela would only spend a week but they were enjoying her company so much, she stayed for a month. If you see a little black bunny with long floppy ears hopping around in your yard, give Mickey Daurio a call at 653-9906. Mickey had used his own money to buy the rabbit for his 4-H project and the little critter escaped from his pen this week. SEWING WORK DAY The ladies will be meeting at the home of Doris Low Thur­ sday, Aug. 23, at 10:30 a.m. FULL WEEKEND Frank and Lil Visconti spent this last weekend camping at the Yogi Bear Jellystone park and visiting the Milwaukee Fair. Auntie K.K. (better known as Kathy Noble) decided to come with. Kathy is Frank Jr.'s godmother and most of the younger kids in Ringwood call her Auntie K.K. Frank Jr. brought his friend Mike Lynn, also. The boys had a great time at the campgrounds, catching 41 crayfish, swimming, fishing and entering an ice cream eating contest--which Mike did win. On to Milwaukee Saturday, and it was very interesting and fun. The two will have a lot fb talk about for a long time to come. Besides all of the exhibits and rides and food booths Lil wasn't sure which the boys like best, the truck-Bigfoot, or the steer who had six legs. On Sunday Kathy had to get up early to drive further north to Sheboygan, Wis. to a beautiful state park for more swimming and a picnic with the Fernstrom families, the Reeses and the Jim Shampoos. A good time was had by all for such a full weekend and there were even a few sunburns. CAMPERS Walt and Doris Low went camping at Paradise Park campground at Garden Prairie this past weekend. It was a lovely spot with fishing, sunning and one could go tubing down the Kiswaukee River. The Lows met the Bob Laursens there; they have their trailer on a permanent spot for the summer.
