PAGE 4 - PLAIN!)EAI.ER - FRIDAY, APRIL «t IJ64 general News Take inventory now of garden equipment DEATH Harold H. Breede Harold H. Breede, 67, of New Port Richey, FL, formerly of McHenry, died Thursday, March 29, 1984 in New Port Richey. He was born July 17, 1916 in Des Plainest IL, to Rose and Henry Breede. Mr. Breede had retired from Oak Industries, Crystal Lake; was a WW n Air Force veteran; and belonged to VFW Post 4600, McHenry. Surviving are his wife Marian, in Florida; three sons, Roy, a member of the U.S. Army stationed in Germany, James of Glendale Heights and Donald of Chicago; a daughter Jean Lundquist of Frankfort, IL; a brother Ralph of Presque Isle, WI; a sister Lucille Zoerner of Seminole, FL; 14 grand­ children; and one great­ grandchild. Funeral services were held Monday in Morgan Funeral Home, New Port Richey. Memorials may be made to the McHenry Area Rescue Squad. The gardening season is steadily approaching. Now is a good time to inventory gar­ dening equipment to determine what needs repairs and to obtain additional equipment, rather than waiting until things are needed in the garden and are not available All wooden-handled tools should be inspected for cracks or loose fitting handles and repaired or replaced as needed. Metal parts should be thoroughly cleaned and lightly oiled to prevent rust. Also, many digging or cultivating tools need to be sharpened periodically for maximum effectiveness. It pays to do maintenance work on tools now rather than wasting valuable good weather days later. Practically all gardeners can use more tools; now is a good time to determine additional needs. Regardless of the type of gardening, having several types of shovels available is very helpful. Long-handled, pointed shovels are perhaps the most popular, along with various types of hand trowels. Shorter- handled, scoop-type shovels are very helpful for moving materials or working in tight locations. Most gardeners prefer to have several types of hoes available for cultivation and weeding. The common garden hoe with a 6- inch width is good for common jobs, but a narrower hoe is essential for cultivating in narrow areas, such as between closely-placed plants or around foundations. Additionally, having a cultivating tool with individual fork-like teeth on hand is a must for many gar­ deners. Rakes are another important tool for home gardeners. A metal garden rake is invaluable for fine grading of gardens or lawn areas to be seeded. Homeowners can always use another metal, plastic, or bamboo lawn rate so everybody has a chance to pitch in on the lawn raking chores. The (EXTENSION) People AAAMl Farmer asks, 'Where's the beef?* Some county farmer is probably asking himself, "Where's the beef?" after a steer wandered onto railroad tracks and was struck and killed by a train Monday. According to Woodstock police, the train's engineer, Edward Hupp of Crystal Lake, said the black angus was struck about 9 p.m. Monday when it walked onto the Chicago & North Western tracks about 200 feet west of Illinois 47 in Woodstock. Police say they have not been able to determine the steer's owner. Having a complete line of pruning equipment makes the job much easier and does trees and shrubs a favor. Hand pruners are essential for trimming shoots and small twigs; -the scissor type (shar­ pened blades overlap when cut) generally gives a smoother cut than the anvil type (sharp blade cuts against metal plate). A good pair of long-handled lop­ ping shears is ideal for larger twigs. Finally, a shaJjp pruning saw is essential for cutting branches and limbs. Don't forget about irrigation and spraying equipment. Hoses, nozzles, and sprinklers that leak excessively or that have poor fittings should be repaired or discarded. Most gardeners can probably find a use for another 50 feet of hose. Sprayers should al«n be in good working con­ dition. Home gardeners should have separate sprayers for applying herbicides and in­ secticides rather than spraying all pesticides in one sprayer. Finally, complete all main­ tenance work on , larger equipment now, as oftentimes parts need to be ordered. Mafce sure equipment such as rototillers and lawn mowers are all ready to go by doing routine engine work and sharpening blades (especially lawn mower blades). As many gardeners know, it is extremely frustrating to get any equipment out in the yard to do a chore and find it doesn't work properly. i^PAl ONLY s5" PER TANNING SESSIO EARLY SPRING SPECIAL TANNING SESSION FREE WITH PURCHASE OF 5 SESSIONS I | j I (Offer oood thru 5/31 /84«Limit one per person' * TANFASTIC 0 SU1\TAN PARLOR** (SS 3100 W.

McHenry Whispering Point Center (815)344-1630 The Easter Seal Society for McHenry County is celebrating its thirty-fifth birthday. The year 1984 marks the thirty-fifth one the speech, physical and occupational therapists at Easter Seals have been striving to help the disabled of every age throughout the county. Thirty-five years ago, Easter Seals began by seeing patients in the basement of Clay Street School in Woodstock and moved to their present address, a former boat factory at 708 Washington, Woodstock, in 1953. Today, Easter Seal therapists provide rehabilitative care to patients at the therapy center, in schools, hospitals, nursing homes and private homes throughout the county. In addition to providing a full line of therapy services, Easter Seals is expanding into home 'health wit^ f^^e4J)ome riealth nurses and nurses' aides. The goal of this new service is to provide in-home care to persons unable to leave their homes to receive service and to assist them in functioning as in­ dependently as possible. Home health patients must be McHenry County residents and be referred by a licensed physician. To help maintain quality health services and maintain a sliding scale of fees, many McHenry County residents will be receiving their 1984 Easter Seals. Hie seals are designed to commemorate the fiftieth an­ niversary of the National Easter Seal Society and act as a visible show of support for the disabled and their everyday struggles. "When Easter Seals was founded 50 years ago," Jenny Van Treese, public relations- community education director, stated, "people with disabilities were hidden from view because of their parents' shame or because of public aversion and indifference. Stigmas had been attached to the disabled for hundreds of years." Easter Seals on both a national and local level are continuously working to en­ courage the disabled to par­ ticipate in the mainstream of life to the fullest extent of their abilities. Ongoing public education , programs, " han­ dicapped parking stickers and accessibility studies of public buildings help kefep concerns of the disabled in the public eye. In addition to the therapy and educational services available at Easter Seals, other services include an equipment loan and family counseling and support groups including the Stroke Club and Laryngectomee Club.
