Conservation Till Tour A Conservation Tillage tour of McHenry county will be held Aug. 9 with the bus leaving the McHenry county Farm Bureau parking lot at 10:30 a.m. The tour will feature minimum tillage and no-tillage. The stops include Leonard Schultz, minimum tillage, Bill Cristy, no-till; Mike Rowe, no- till; Pat Fitzgerald, no-till and WIVS radio station, no-till. Minimum tillage and no- tillage leave the residue from the previous crop year on the surface. Minimum tillage allow for a few trips across the field where no-tillage is done without any previous tillage. This year no-till was per­ formed in cornstalks, bean stubble, alfalfa and brome grass sod. No-till is an excellent method of providing erosion control and reducing time, labor and equipment costs. 4-H ROYALTY (Continued from page 1) have helped her establish and solidify friendships. ' Thompson follows his brother's footsteps in some respects-forestry and elec­ tricity. But he has expanded bis efforts to include ornamental horticulture, and in his nine years with the Greenwood Gremlins, Steve has helped call attention to the benefits of 4-H. By the time he was 13 he had been able to expand from county and state projects to national and international programs. "At 17,1 am aware 4-H has a place for everyone, a place that will develop friend­ ship, leadership, responsibility and great memories." He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Thompson. His mother, Charlotte, was the 1953 McHenry County 4-H queen. His aunt, Patricia Hogan Parsley, was the 1959 4- H queen. The maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. John Hogan, Ringwood. Steve will be a senior at Woodstock high school this fall. Shelly will be a freshman at the University of Illinois and plans to live at 4-H House. WINS TALENT CONTEST (Continued from page 1) awarded in the Junior division show. Colin McCormack, 13, Woodstock, won first with a folk dance. The "Shades of Time" band placed second and was led by Peter McCormack. Among members ; Lori Wilson, Stephanie Allen, Stephanie Kowacki and Mark Schmaling, McHenry. The Orphans generated the most applause over a sustained period for their drama-musical version from "Annie". The two numbers included the hit song, "Tomorrow". In the group were Jane Weingart and Jill Schaefer (the ballet standout who won first), McHenry. With students from both Marian and Woodstock in the group, the "Shades of TimeT! also generated considerable audience support. Judging was based 50 percent on en­ tertainment, with talent, stage presence and audience appeal and ability to perform the degree of talent attempted covering the remaining 50 nercent. *. wsar+r " Judges were staff metftbers at McHenry County college. Committee members included Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tammeus, Kenneth Kunzer and Janet Byrnes. Tammeus, who recalled this was the fifteenth annual Talent contest in con­ junction with the fair, said the winners may compete in the Illinois Association of County Fair competition in January as part of the association's annual meeting. TWO CRASHES FOR ^ARD LUCK DRIVER (Continued from page 1) struck them and went home. One cow on Ringwood road did more than $250 damage to two cars in two separate ac­ cidents Sunday night. Carol A. Hunt, 3102 Ringwood road, McHenry, said she was eastbound on Ringwood road at about 45 or 50 mph when she hit one of two cows in the roadway. Ms. Hunt said she saw the cows as she crested a hill and tried to avoid them but was unable to do so. Later that night, Jeffrey D. Raab, Wonder Lake, crested the same hill and struck the same cow, which was dead at the time. \MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) up" - both of these excuses might justify the act to the offending driver but it does little to appease the law abiding drivers Who say, "Enforce the rule or take down the signs". A notation on a recent call asks us to make a plea to the destroyers of mail boxes, especially those belonging to senior citizens, "because I can't get out to fix it". We've made the plea, but the people who destroy mailboxes aren't likely to know, or care, who the property belongs to. And far down on our list of "things we must tend to" is a letter signed "Hopeful". Its contents reveal that it was written by a 12-year-old Johnsburg girl who reminds that there are contests for Miss Peanut and Miss McHenry. "Why can't there be something for kids from 10- 13?" is her question, and she suggests a Miss Peach contest. Why not, indeed! There's something for a good promoter to work on during the waning days of summer. K.A.F.

What is a nursing home? A. Today's nursing homes are professional health care facilities providing long term or extended care to con­ valescents of all ages. The aim is to help these residents- patients care for themselves to the best -of their individual abilities and return to their own homes and communities whenever possible. Q. What types of services and facilities are currently available in Illinois? A. Sheltered Care Facilities provide residents with some supervision and assistance with personal tasks. These residents are mostly ambulatory and are able to take medicines on their own. Intermediate Care Facilities provide basic nursing care for residents-patients with long term illnesses or disabilities who have reached a stable plateau. Skilled Nursing Facilities provide continuous nursing care and observation with frequent medical supervision. These facilities^ are for persons who need the ' type of care and treatment required during the post acute phase of an illness or during reoccurrence of chronic illnesses. Facilities for the Developmenmtally Disabled may either be licensed as skilled, intermediate, or sheltered care. They are oriented toward those persons who are mentally retarded or have cerebral palsy, epilepsy, etc. Homes for the Aged is a descriptive term used by facilities in which the residents are usually private pay. En­ dowment Homes are a type of residential facility usually offering room and board only and not licensed by the state. If additional service above room and board is offered, it must become licensed as a sheltered or nursing care facility. These "homes" usually offer "life care" for an agreed upon en­ dowment to be left to the facility. Q. What about costs? What if I cannot afford this care? A. If you cannot afford a facility's private pay rates, there are three possible government assistance programs. Medicaid is a public assistance program financed by the state and federal governments. Skilled and in­ termediate facilities may receive Medicaid certification. Medicare is a health insurance program administered by the Social Security administration for persons over 65 years of age or under 65 with a disability and who have been hospitalized for a minimum of three days and are placed in a skilled nursing facility by a physician. Sup­ plementary Security Income is a federal program coupled with a state supplement for persons residing in a sheltered care facility. Q. Are there alternatives to these facilities? A. There are various alter­ natives to entering a long term health care facility. Among those to be considered, are adult day care, retirement centers, home health care, homemakers, meals-on-wheels programs, etc. Q. What initial steps should I take before placing a relative or myself in a long term health care facility? A. Don't wait until a time of crisis when the choice must be made quickly. \ Acquaint yourself with the different facilities in your area now and find out how they operate. When the need becomes ob­ vious and warranted, rely on a physician's recommendation regarding the type of care needed.
