\ Neighborhood MOWS Ring wood: Old time Methodist camp meeting set at Dig Timber folks put up a tent and the girli Sunday, Aug. 26, there will be no services at the Greenwood or Ringwood churches. Instead members will meet at the Greenwood church at 10 a.m. to travel as a group to Big Timber Campground at Elgin for an old- time Methodist camp meeting.

PARADE WINNER Little Joey Daurio felt pretty proud to win second place for the Most Humorous in the six years and under division of the Fiesta Days children's * bike-trike parade. He impersonated Bozo the Clown, and had decorated his trike all by himself. Congratulations Joey, on the good job you did. Others who participated in the parade from our community Lakemoor/Lflymoon Be sure door-to-door solicitors are legit Area residents are reminded to; be wary of solicitors who kijock on your door, offering various unasked for services. Lakemoor residents report the common pitches are for black topping driveways, selling in­ surance, or cleaning supplies. Be aware of strangers who make promises. Never let one into your home, regardless of the pretext. If they won't leave your yard, tell them you are checking with the Chamber of Commerce to see if they are a reliable business Do not sign any papers, or allow any work to be done, or pay any money until you have called the C.C. or the police department to check their reliability. Margaret Karas 385-4934 There are people who are out to make money and will cheat anyone on the way. They especially find "suckers" among the elderly or those who do not fully understand. FORMER RESIDENT RETURNS The Bittermans lived in Lakemoor for many years while raising their family. Then, Mr. and Mrs Bitterman moved north spending about eight years there and with the death of Mr. Bit­ terman, his wife returned to McHenry where she is now living. It is good to hear from those who have left and then come back. Mrs. Bitterman wants her voter's card, so she will be stopping in at the McHenry Nunda Library, and will see how our library has "come a long way," also., CHECKERS, ANYONE? The checkerboard placed at the farthest table from the entry at the McHenry Nunda Library has been a favorite place of practice these last weeks. The object was to learn strategies to win in the checker tournament to be held Aug. 17. the winners were determined after an hour and a half of competition, with Randy Jones first, Steve Conner second, and Tony Monaghan third. Others in the tournament receiving consolation prizes were Allison, Chad and Tracy Hueckstaedt, Sam Cole, Jayme Isaacson, Phil Marcadante and champion loser, Victor Guevera. The checker board is still set up for games. Bring a partner and play. Chess, anyone? There has been some interest in a chess tournament for both youngsters and adults. When there are enough entrants, a tournament will be held at the library.

OF STATE JIM EDGAR Mopeds, or "motorized pedalcycles, have become a popular and economical form of transportation for many people during the five years they have been on Illinois roads. However, mopeds have a motor, can reach speeds of up to 30 mph, and are potentially dangerous if not used properly. Safety hints: Pedaled like bicycles or ridden like motorcycles, mopeds are subject to all traffic laws and some special regulations. For example, drivers cannot carry passengers unless the moped is designed to carry two persons. These mopeds must have a seat, permanent han­ dgrips and footrests for the passenger. friendship and joy of sharing and growing with each other. There must be tears to provide the nourishment with which the plants of love can grow. GOD BLESS Mickey and Michelle Daurio, Angela Williams', Shawn and Tina Malo.

GOD BLESS Mopeds can be dangerous if they're not used properly Although helmets are not required for either the driver or passenger, wearing them can prevent serious injuries if the moped skids and overturns. For night driving, a moped must have a headlight that emits a white light visible for at least 500 feet. A red reflector on the rear must be visible from 100 to 600 feet when directly in front of the lower beams of another vehicle's headlights. Since a moped is a motor vehicle, both the moped and driver must be licensed. Mopeds have an annual $16 registration fee and a $3 title fee. One license plate is issued that is displayed on the rear. Anyone with a current drivers license may operate a moped.
