Senior Hot Line (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. What are some of the major bills which have been passed by the last session of the General Assembly and are awaiting Governor James R. Thompson's signature? A. The best way to judge that is to look at the results of a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Senior Legislative forum, which represents over 300 senior citizen organizations throughout the state and serves as an advisory group to the Lt. Governor. The executive • committee is urging Governor Thompson to sign eight major bills which drew bi-partisan support. After reviewing over 100 bills, submitted to the legislature, which would benefit the elderly and disabled, the forum's executive committee has recommended signing of: S.B. 309 and 316, sponsored by Senator Richard Daley, Chicago, creating the Nursing Home Reform Care act of 1979; H.B. 2564, sponsored by Rep. Woods Bowman, Chicago, exempting food and prescription medicine from sales, use and service oc­ cupation taxes; S.B. 198, sponsored by Sen. Adeline Geo-Karis, of Zion, and Sen. John Merlo, of Chicago, making it aggravated battery to cause bodily harm to or make insulting physical con­ tact with a person aged 60 or over; H.B. 969, sponsored by Rep. Josephine Oblinger, of Sher­ man, transferring the primary responsibility for the program' of services to prevent premature or unnecessary institutionalization of persons in need of long term care from the Department of Public Aid to the Department on Aging. Other legislation the Forum wants approved by the Governor are H.B. 841, dealing with medical services; H.B. 1334, amending the Downstate Teachers Retirement article; and H.B. 2500, revising the Crime Victims Compensation act. Q. Are there any bills which were stalled in the General Assembly this year and need a lobbying effort by senior citizens and the disabled to be passed next year? A. Yes. The executive committee has recommended that efforts should be made to pass nine other bills which remain alive but .were not passed this year. Seniors and the disabled should contact their legislators now and again next spring concerning the following measures. They are: H.B. 188 and S.B. 140, providing more tax relief for senior citizens and the disabled under the Circuit Breaker program; H.B. 569 and 1408, concerning the Homestead Exemption; H.B. 2021 and 191, pertaining to training programs for nursing home employees and nurse aides; H.B. 1937, creating the Adult Abuse act; H.B. 1183, amending the Reduced Transit Fare act for the Elderly, and H.B. 1265 and 1266, placing certain regulations on the practice of dental medicine. Members of the executive committee are: Connie Maris, Rockford; Aden Wilson, Glen Ellyn; Rev. Nels Bengston, Galesburg; Louis R. Mc­ Donald, Peoria; Nelle Hays, Champaign; Earl D. Meyers, Quincy; Don Berry, Pana; Virgil L. Calvert, E. St. Louis; Hilmer S. Cottingim, Salem; Troy S. Alexander, Norris City; Robert K. ^GustafsQn, Car- terville; Mary Voss, Chicago.

Why are lemons in short supply and higher in price? If you've been asking these questions as you shop in your loc$l market, here's a weather report that will help provide the answers. Freezing weather, followed by a heat wave! Sounds unreasonable, but it's true. Both of these conditions have teamed to cut the current summer and early fall supplies of California-Arizona grown lemons reaching the consumer in local supermarkets. Usually either of these conditions--a freeze or a heat wave-will affect the size, condition and supply of summer lemons. When both occur, as they did this year, the supply of lemons from California and Arizona is decreased dramatically. The freeze of Dec. 7, 1978, followed by a second freeze in late January, 1979, resulted in an approximate 30 percent reduction in the lemon crop forecast for this growing season. The radical reduction of the crop came about because the effects of the freezes were so widespread-all lemon growing areas in California and Arizona were affected by the cold weather. This followed an original forecast for a smaller than usual lemon crop. A further reduction in the size of the lemon crop has been caused by unseasonably hot weather this summer in California. Some downgrading in the quality of fruit has resulted as well, according to Nancy Moore, McHenry county home economist. An° additional problem seriously affecting availability of fresh lemons, as well as other fresh produce coming from western markets, has been the unsettled trucking situation. Fresh lemons will still be available this summer, but not in the supply or at the price desirable for the con­ sumer. Fresh lemons are synonymous with summer menus, adding flavor and appetite appeal to many beverages, desserts, salads, as v/ell as barbecue and fish cookery. To help utilize and enjoy the "whole" lemon...the juice and the peel, here are some fresh lemon aids: ...A lemon yields more juice when left at room temperature and rolled on the counter before squeezing. ...Lemons keep in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for as long as 6 weeks, or at room temperature for about a week. ...Fresh lemon juice has long been a favorite for adding "zip" to salad dressings, vegetables and of course seafoods. But don't forget the peel! Fresh grated lemon peel adds aromatic pleasure to all kinds of baked goods, fruit compotes, dessert and savory sauces. Be sure to grate the peel of a lemon before cutting in half and juicing. Grated peel can be kept in a small plastic bag in the freezer...ready to add aroma and flavor. ...Ice cubes frozen with a twist of lemori peel add flavor to diet beverages and sparkling mineral water. ...Hollowed out lemon shells make attractive serving containers for sherbet, ice cream, tartar sauce, relishes or salad dressings. To make lemon "shell"...cut one-third off end of large lemon Carefully ream out juice; reserve. Scrape shell "clean" with spoon. To make lemon "boats"...cut large lemon in half lengthwise? Juice and scrape clean as above. Scallop or notch lemon shells or boats, if desired. Citrus shells may be made ahead and frozen until ready to use. ...When a recipe calls for the juice of 4 lemon, store the remaining half, wrapped in plastic, in the refrigerator to keep fresh for later use. ...Lemon juice freezes well Keep handy by freezing measured amounts, 1 or 2 tablespoons, into individual ice cubes. Store frozen cubes in plastic bag. thaw and use as- needed. ...For one last stretch...keep your garbage disposal smelling fresh by grinding up the lemon shells when finished squeezing the juice. Even after a successful production on Broadway in the early '70s and the McHenry" County Youth theatre production soon to be presented at the Woodstock Opera House, few people realize that the musical-comedy, Pippin, depicting the life of Charlemagne and his son is historically quite accurate. While Roger O. Hirson and Stephen Schwartz have taken certain liberties with the plot, theatre-goers should find the McHenry County Youth theatre production of Pippin to be an extremely entertaining history lesson loosely based on the life of Charlemagne. Born in 742, Charlemagne, Mike Ferguson of Woodstock, is the son of Pepin the Short and Berthe. While Pepin the Short was excluded from the stage version, Berthe is portrayed by Lorrie Preuss of Woodstock as the energetic grandmother of Pepin the Hunchback, Jim Brown of Spring Gvove. While the stage version of Pippin dispells the myth of Pepin being a hunchback and gives him the slightly stylized spelling of Pippin, the ,. similarities to actual fact do (continue; especially in com­ pleting Pippin's family. Deena Rohrer of Crystal Lake takes on the historically correct role of Fastrad6, a cruel, Cinderella type step­ mother who favors her son, Lewis, Eugene Svoboda of Wonder Lake, more than even her husband, Charlemagne. The nucleus of the cast established, the musical comedy would still not be possible without the assistance of the rest of a talented group of young people. Helping to pave the way for both Pippin and the audience will be Dave Lin- dquist of McHenry in the leading role of "Leading Player". As Pippin's an­ tagonist, he provides the narration, as well as song and dance to help relate Pippin's story. With performances to be held Aug. 16-19 and 24-26 at the Woodstock Opera House, the McHenry County Youth theatre cast would like to invite everyone to help relive the life of Pippin.
