State Learns Success Kathleen LaGreca, R.N.. nurse coordinator of the Mobile Intensive Care unit program for McHenry County-Western Lake county, and Jim O'Heir, regional coordinator of Emergency Medical Services for the State of Illinois, presented seminar on "Hew to Develop a Rural MICU Program" in Champaign. The M1CU program of McHenry County-Western Lake county, headquartered at McHenry hospital, is the largest such project in the midwest. The success of the paramedic program of McHenry county and Western Lake county, headquartered at McHenry hospital, was described to fire and safety officials of the state, various couiities and scores of cities, as they met for a "Primary Care Symposium" recently in Champaign. The. two-day seminar, sponsored by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Public Safety foun­ dation, featured a workshop titled "Developing a Rural P a r a m e d i c P r o g r a m , " presented by Kathleen LaGreca, R.N., of McHenry, nurse coordinator of the Mobile ICU program for McHenry county-Western Lake county. She was assisted by James O'Heir, now regional coor­ dinator of Emergency Medical Services for the Illinois Department of Public Health's EMS division. O'Heir, as the original Trauma center director at McHenry hospital (1972-75), had instituted the Basic Life Support program which developed into the present paramedic program. As the largest Mobile ICU program in the midwest, the McHenry county-western Lake county program blankets a 750 square mile .trea with Ad- vanced Life-Support personnel and equipment. The eighteen ambulance companies which compose the MICU network are made up of nationally- registered and • certified E m e r g e n c y M e d i c a l Technicians and advanced ^ E m e r g e n c y M e d i c a l Technicians-11 (paramedics). Of the eighteen companies, sixteen are manned by volunteers who have taken their training at McHenry hospital on their "own time" and have continued their education with service in the Emergency department and Intensive Care unit there. The ambulance services participating in the McHenry county and Western Lake county Mobile ICU program are Cary Fire department Rescue squad, Crystal Lake Emergency Ambulance ser­ vice, Fox Lake Rescue squad, Fox River Grove Rescue squad and Harvard Rescue squad. Also Village of Hebron Rescue squad, Huntley Fire district Ambulance service, Johnsburg Rescue squad, Lakes Region Rescue squad, City of Marengo Rescue squad, McHenry Area Rescue squad and Medical Transportation systems. Also the Nunda Township Rescue squad, Richmond Rescue squad; TEK Am­ bulance service; Wonder Lake Fire Protection district and Woodstock Rescue squad. These ambulance teams, on arriving at the site of an ac­ cident or heart attack, can transmit an EKG of the victim to a physician in the hospital's emergency room. The physician can then speak directly with the squad, receiving further EKGs and giving medication and treat­ ment orders to them. The patient is treated at the site q€ the crisis and is tran­ sported to an appropriate acute-care, full service hospital only when his condition is stable. James H. Mowery, M.D., is medical director of the Mobile Intensive Care program for McHenry county and western Lake comity. *» .<*. -ml- V,,/" In Project Plans * 1 2 4 - 1 Q T .

Persons who think they may qualify for fuel' aid grants should contact their local Community Action agency. It will be the "greening" of McHenry when the Public library holds its first plant exchange during the week of July 11-16.4^1 amateur and die­ hard gardeners are urged to don gloves and grab garden tools and prepare to depart from those plants they would be willing to trade for new ones. Any special cuttings would be welcome, too. Since plants have become increasingly popular in home decorating in the past few years, the library would like to do its leafy share in adding a little green to local homes. The staff adds that if the plant prefers Chopin, the poetry of Keats, and a little nip after dinner, be sure to include these instructions in its container when bringing the plant to the library. To be fair, no plant may be taken from the table unless one brings another in its place, as the plants are not for sale, but are strictly for exchange. Also, if one has any flower pots or plant containers, they will also be exchange items. While at the library, everyone is urged to browse through the gardening section and check out books and pamphlets for the latest tips on turning the yard into the next midwestem tropical paradise. In addition to this new c o m m u n i t y i n v o l v e m e n t li project, the library would also like to start a Patterns 'n Puzzles check-out program. Anyone having clothing or costume patterns that are complete, but no longer useable for the family, and who would like to donate them to the library, would make it possible for librarians to check out these patterns on the same basis as Jx)ok8. Large puzzles would also be available to patrons to check out if they can get enough donations of complete puzzles, in good condition. Finally, if there are some arts-crafts people who would be willing to share their skills on a volunteer basis, the library would also like to sponsor some "Santas-In-September" Craft workshops for those interested in learning how to make some new gifts for Christmas, or just to add to their own repertoire of crafts. Those with talent to make cornhusk dolls, quilted projects, kitchen crafts with wooden spoons or baskets, dried flower arrangements, Christmas dolls or puppets, or any of the popular arts and crafts people are eager to learn, contact Mrs. June Stuart at the McHenry Public library, so that plans can be made for the exchange of ideas and skills in these workshop-type sessions. For and about Teenagers BY PATRICK EDWARD THIS WEEK'S LETTER: I have this problem and I really need help. I like this guy a lot. I'm waiting for him to ask me to ;go with him. But j he never will. I think it's because of my curly hair. A girlfriend told me he doesn't like curly hair. What I is wrong with me? Or is it him? I tried everything I could think of for him to start liking me. What's the problem? OUR REPLY: The problem is think? Do you like your hair curly? If you do, leave it that way. If you don't, change it. The point is, take responsibility for your own actions. You like him, he likes you. The real question is "Do we want to spend some time together?" Make certain you're clear that's what you'd like to do. Share your feelings with jyour friend. Communicate. Find out where he's at by asking. Or you never will.
