"My husband is 71. He was operated on for an aneurysm in the aorta. As anybody knows who has been made aware of the operation, the bulge in the principal artery of the body is repaired during the operation by insertion of an ac- cordion-like sleeve, shaped like a Y, that is made of Dacron. Now, what I want to know is this: how long will that Dacron sleeve last before it breaks or otherwise endangers the life of my husband?" - Mirabelle G. A. Dr. Mark Kart- chner, one of the country's leading vascular surgeons who has performed hun­ dreds of operations to repair an aneurysm in the aorta, said he believes the dacron sleeve will certainly last out the life of host body. There is no known time limit on dacron's func­ tion in the body. Dacron was used to make the aortic sleeves after some few years of using nylon for the job. The trouble with nylon was that it once-in-a- while laddered as a lady's nylon hose sometimes ladders or "runs" when a thread is broken. That created possible danger of rupture at the repaired spot in the aorta. Before nylon, some doctors tried to repair an aortic aneurysm with silver wire, which was used to bind the aorta at the point of the aneurysm. The repair with silver wire was not acceptable to doctors as permanently effective and they then began to use sleeves of nylon before progressing to dacron. I met a man of 69 in the doctor's office who was there for his annual quick exam. He has been living -- and working - for nine years with the dacron sleeve in place. He expects to live safely and com­ fortably for nine more, at least, he said. Q. "I remember a song that my dad sang when I was a kid, but 1 can recall only part of it. The last part slips my memory. It went like this: "My grandmother She, At the age of 83, Was taken sick and died, And after she was dead, And of course the will was read By a lawyer as we all stood by his side. To my sister it was found She had left a hundred pound; The same unto my brother, I declare. But when it came to me The lawyer said, I see She only left to you her old arm chair. How they tittered, how they scoffed -- "I can't remember the rest, but it told about how the grandmother had sewn most of her fortune into the old arm chair and had asked in the will that the heir should recover it. As she had planned, she discovered the fortune under the old upholstery. The song was passed down from my forebears, who came to the U.S. from England. Is there any place I could write in an attempt to get the missing words?" -- Gene W. A. There is a man in Oregon who has one of the world's largest libraries of old songs and poetry. If Gene will make a request for the missing verse, to Stanley Floyd Kilarr, of 1402 E. Main Street, Klamath Falls, Ore., 97601, he may find it. A fee will be charged. Q. "Now that my husband is past 72 and still working, isn't Social Security sup­ posed to increase his monthly entitlement check? Doesn't SS review all recipients' records once a year? I think my husband is entitled to more now. The government takes the SS tax out of his paycheck each month. What should he do to find out about getting an increase?" - Ada M. A. The Social Security Administration does not, I am certain, review everybody's entitlement each year. It would be impossible and unnecessary. Ada's husband would have to apply for a recomputation of his entitlement. SS will be glad to make it and he may well discover that he is now entitled to larger SS payments. If you have a question on the problems of aging, write to Carl Riblet Jr. at P.O. Box 40757, Tucson, Ariz., 85717. He will try to answer the question in this column. No iden­ tities are revealed. TIPPING The question of how much to tip - bothers many Americans. Most vacationers or diners want to do the right thing. They want to do what is expected in the restaurant they're in, and in the cir­ cumstances, up to a point. Some are intimidated because of a desire to comply with custom. In Europe and in most o t h e r , m o r e bureaucratic countries, tips are added automatically to the bill. This encourages poor service and laziness among waiters and waitresses. The waiter knows he's going to get his ten or fifteen percent and doesn't have much incentive to provide outstanding table service. In America in the last decade a major effort has been made in many restaurants to have all guests accept fifteen percent as the standard percent using in figuring tipping. That has not been accepted " for good reason. In a plush restaurant with high prices, a party of four could order four entrees only and the bill might be a hundred dollars. To give the waiter who brought that food to the table fifteen dollars is sometimes excessive. Common sense is the guide. How much time and effort did the waiter or waitress expend? If service was minimal, or poor, ten percent or even less is enough. If one then gets verbal abuse, the tip should be picked up altogether. Tips for drinks in a lounge before dinner need not be fifteen percent tips. All the waiter or waitress does is bring a tray of drinks. Less than 10 ten per­ cent, or ten percent, is often appropriate. TRIVIA £» "WANDER WITH WINGATE" McHenry County Conservation district trustee, Bill Wingate, will lead an interpretive trail walk at Becks woods Saturday, March 19, at 1 p.m. The "Wander with Wingate", as these walks are popularly called, will look for early spring flowers along the Piscasaw creek. Becks woods is located three miles east of Harvard on Route 173. No pre-registration is required for this free public program. Participants should dress for cool weather and wet ground. Detailed directions to the site or further in­ formation is available from the McHenry County Conservation district office at 815 338-1405 or 815 678- 4431. Problems Plague Lake Dam Repair SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE Financing is not the only problem facing the state-mandated repair of the Wonder Lake dam. The repairs must be completed by Jan. 1, 1988. Jim Gunning, chairman of the Wonder Lake Master Property Owner's Association Dam committee, reported he and fellow committeman Craig Pfannkuche noticed several structural problems when they opened the gates Dec. 29 and 30. An investigation revealed that a 10- by 12-foot chunk of concrete came loose from the bottom of the spillway near the west sluice gate tunnel. The slab rose above the water on 45-degree angle and left a 5-foot hole. Pfan­ nkuche said the concrete was poured there after the 1936-37 flood to prevent the bottom from washing out. With the help of a tractor, the slab was broken in half, packed down and gravel dumped in the hole, Gunning said. Between 50 and 60 tons of gravel and debris were removed from the spillway bed. The operation cost $1,500. The loose chunk either can be broken down and cement grout placed on top or an entirely new slab poured. Gunning could not say what the cost would be. On the concrete wingwall along the west side, there is a hole 4 feet long and 3 to 4 feet deep. On the east side a 2-inch crack runs to the base of the wingwall. Gunning said final repairs will be made this spring during the lake draw down. Although no specific date was set for the draw down, it probably will occur within the next two weeks, following approval by an attorney. The directors agreed the lake would be lowered three feet for a period of three weekends. Gunning said he would like to begin filling the lake by mid-April if possible. According to the Waukesha, Wis., engineering firm of Donohue & Associates, it will take 48 hours to lower the lake three feet if both gates are fully opened; 98 hours if one gate is fully opened. Gunning is reluctant to open both gates full blast because of the damage the extra stress may cause. Instead he proposes opening one gate a foot or two, rather than the full 4 feet. It would take 12 to 14 days to lower the lake and "about a month top to top," Gunning said. Although the draw down would restrict access to water and be "unsightly," Gunning listed several advantages. It would enable beach cleaning, pier and seawall repair and disrupt the hatching of rough fish- carp and buffalo. Gunning is exploring the possibility of commercial fishing to remove these scavenger fish. Carp sells for $.08 to $.30 a pound, and could bring in some needed revenue in the future. Gunning said an estimated 700,000 pounds of carp are in Wonder Lake. Being bottom feeders, these fish help churn up the water with silt, as do power boats. Jack Crawford, chair­ man of the master association lake committee, said his soil testings have shown the lake has risen 8 inches in the past three years. The average depth is now 6 feet, 5 inches. Despite the siltation problem, master President Ed Beard cautioned residents that no sand could be removed from the lake and put back on the beaches during the draw down. The lake is owned by the entire master association and dredging would require a bylaws change. Gunning sought permission from the directors to open the gates periodically on his own, claiming it would remove silt, oxydize the water and reactivate springs in the creek bed by relieving water pressure. But Pfannkuche reiterated the dam committee's decision that' guidelines must be established first, unless under emergency conditions.. "We all think the gates should be operated," Pfanriklche said. "But we want to know a standard." Frank Higgins, director from Wonder Center Property Owners association and dam committeeman, pointed out to even vote on the matter would be against the: bylaws since it wasn't on the agenda. "This is totally out of order," Higgins argued. He said a report by Donahue concluded that opening the sluice gates a few inches would only remove sediment that accumulated in front of the gates. John Brumbaugh, director from Highland Shores Property Owners Inc., added, "I don't have a right to vote on this even if I wanted to." The motion to give Gunning per­ mission to flush the gates was with­ drawn from the floor with his blessing. "I don't want to get stuck with so many guidelines that I can't operate down there," Gunning said. In a related matter, the Wonder Lake Sportsman and Conservation Club donated $100 for the dam. And it volunteered workers and trucks to help clear broken bottles and other debris away from beaches during the draw down. DISHWASHERS When purchasing a dishwasher, it is im­ portant to evaluate specific needs instead of being sold on the most deluxe model. Today's dishwasher is one of the best time- savers in the kitchen. It eliminated the chore of drying dishes, and because water is hotter and the detergent stronger than human ahnds can stand, dishes are clean and more sanitary. Here are a few tips that can help save time and get the most from the dishwasher. ...Encourage all family members to put dirty dishes and glasses from between meal snacks directly into the dishwasher until there is a full load to run. Most 0 families find that cleaning a full load once a day is sufficient. t ...Use a rinse aid additive - liquid if the dishwasher has a dispenser, or solid form, if it doesn't, The rinse aid causes the water to "sheet" off, reducing the possibility of water droplets forming and causing spots on glassware ...Prepare table and cooking ware for the dishwasher as it is removed from the dining area. Before loading dishwasher, empty out liquids and shake off any solid leftovers. No need to scrape or rinse. Keep dinner dishes, salad plates, saucers in separate stacks to more quickly load the machine. ^7 JOIJN L. FREUND FREUND FUNERAL HOMES • WONDER LAKE 7611 HANCOCK DR.
