Saturday Spring And Wildlife Needing help, these baby raccoons were found out of the nest, thin and crying. A dead mother was found nearby. The McHenry County Con­ servation district's Wildlife Rehabilitation committee would like to remind people that with the coming of spring, many wild animals will be giving birth. Young raccoons rank high on the list of wild animal babies encountered by people, and young raccoons are the most frequently picked up or "adopted" by people. Usually these bright-eyed, frisky youngsters found in the open are in no need of help from humans. When the young raccoons are about eight weeks old, they begin a natural learning process. The adult female begins to introduce them to the world by taking them on foraging trips. During this time, the young practice their hunting and fishing techniques, learn about predators and become acquainted with their surroundings. Man's in­ tervention in a situation such as this is unnecessary and harm­ ful for the young raccoons. Their best chance for sur­ vival in the wild is to learn and experience life under the watchful and protective eyes of their mother. Mother raccoon is probably very near waiting for the two-legged intruders to leave so she can reclaim her adventuresome youngsters. Unfortunately, most people who come upon young raccoons are captivated by the frolic­ some, curious nature of these creatures and want to keep them as pets. But baby rac­ coons do not stay small for long, and as they grow and become stronger, their wild nature surfaces. They can become very destructive and can inflict serious bites. Other considerations are that it is illegal to possess a wild animal or bird without the proper permits from the state or federal governments and that veterinarians cannot treat or vaccinate wild animals unless proper permits are obtained. Illegal possession of protected animals and birds may cost up to $500 in fines. Usually the saddest part of a pet raccoon's life is when it is released back to the wild. Most are taken to the woods and left. The young, inexperienced animals have no idla how to forage for food, establish a territory or cope with predators. The first inclination of this "pet" raccoon is to return to people for food and protection, and if he does, he stands a good chance of being shot or clubbed to death. It is not a pretty story, but it hap­ pens more often than the well- intentioned people like to think. Last fall two charming little raccoons were found foraging in the garbage cans at the Rush Creek Conservation area near Harvard. They immediately approached the cars of visitors and climbed in. Even if these raccoons had been released far from people, the chances are they would have starved to death or been killed by predators Wild mammals and birds have very special dietary needs and require a great deal of care, patience and time to raise them and to train them for release to the wild. If people find a wild creature that is obviously injured or a tiny baby is found out of the nest, they should contact the Wildlife Rehabilitation project's director. Mrs. Sally Joosten, at, 338-3276. The Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education committee was formed to help orphaned and injured wildlife and return them to the wild. They hope to increase public awareness of wildlife and the laws that protect them. They advise people to enjoy wildlife in its natural surroundings, not in their homes. r™""""™™""1™1"1"111™"1™™! Leaal Nottcs I Senior Hot Line j • STATE OF ILLINOIS ) )SS Q Who will be eligible for the new food stamp program? A. To qualify for food stamps, households must meet certain financial and non-financial criteria. The financial criteria includes an income test. Under the new program, the income test will be based on the federal poverty guidelines set by the Office of Management and Budget. These levels are ad­ justed annually to reflect changes in the cost of living. For the period ending April 1978, the income poverty level for a family of four is $5,850 a year. To be eligible for the new program, a household must have a net income that falls below the income poverty level for that size household. Net income is the amount of income a household has after sub­ tracting deductions. Under the previous program, income limits were based on guidelines set by the Secretary of Agriculture. These limits were higher than the federal poverty levels, and they did not apply to people who had no income other than public assistance or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). To apply, persons should contact their county public aid office. A-l HEARING AID REPAIR SERVICE Free Loaners-Complete Service on all Makes Custom Earmolds-30 Day Trial on New Aids.

MAIN 392-4750 The income limits for the new program will apply to everyone. No one will be automatically eligible. Q. What will be deducted from a household total or "gross" monthly income? A. Under the new program, there are three deductions: A. Standard deduction. All households will get to subtract a standard amount. This amount will be adjusted twice a year to reflect changes in the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price index for items other than food. If the new law were currently in effect, the standard deduction would be $60. B. An earned income deduction. Working households will also get to subtract twenty percent from their total monthly earned income. This is to make up for taxes and other mandatory deductions, like Social Security. C. Households will be able to claim a third deduction, if: 1. They have to pay someone to care for a dependent in order for a person in the household to accept a job, continue working, or take a training course leading to a job. 2. They are spending more than fifty percent of their net income, income after all the other deductions have been subtracted, on shelter costs. These households can deduct that portion of their shelter costs that is over fifty percent of their monthly net income.
