Rt. 31, Suite B -A-Thon To Dairy Farmers PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDA Y. JUNE 8,1883 ' «* With dairy surpluses piling up, the Pay*neflt-in-Kind program under criticism from consumers for the amount of money being paid farmers not to produce and prices' paid far­ mers for their products at the break­ even point, or less, farmers may be in a disconsolate mood. Just what their mood is and what thesir views are on key issues i§ the purpose of a Call-A-Thon held in early June by the McHenry County Farm Bureau. "We want to learn what farmers believe are the most urgent issues, and we want to obtain their opinions on what to do about the matters they are most concerned about, " said Bill Olbrich, Chairman of the Farm Bureau's legislative committee. Olbrich, Harvard dairy farmer, also heads the F^rm Bureau's local affairs committee. Members of those two committees are -phoning farmer members*.They have prepared for the inquiry by mailing an announcement of the C^U-A-Thon with five questions. Othfer issues may come up-depending on what the farmer voices as his main issues of cpncern-but the con­ versation will begin around these live questions: 1-How would you solve the dairy surplus problem? 2-How should elementary and secondary schools be funded? 3-What is your greatest concern among issues facing McHenry county residents and how should the issue be addressed? 4rHow can Farm Bureau serve its members better? 5-What can Farm Bureau do to improve the services members? With 330 dairy farmers in McHenry county, the dairy surplus issue is expected to generate a wide range of response. In meetings during the past several months, dairymen have ex­ pressed anger at the government policy to fine farmers . 50 cents for each hundred pounds of milk produced. While courts have halted that assessment so far, most farmers have said thfcy think that's the wrong way to go aboiut reducing the steadily- increasing stockpile of surplus dairy products. Because those responsible for a solution can't agree-farmers, their cooperatives, the many farm organizations, the federal govern­ ment, Congress, for example- new ideas will be welcome during the Call- A-Thon. A national magazine-U.S. News and World Report- recently said the U.S. government will pay out 21 billion dollars in federal subsidies, plus another 6 billion dollars worth of crops through Payment-in~Kind. Continued -- -- -- publicity of this nature without an provided% explanation as to why government involvement in agriculture is needed could generate consumer reaction against farmers. So some farmers may express their concern about how to conteract unfavorable consumer- oriented publicity during the Call-A- Thon conversations. Olbrich said volunteers in each of the 17 townships will make the phone ealls to their neighbors. On the joint committee are Bill Olbrich, Dave Gardner, Rob Richardson, Dick Drendel, Don Luerssen, Ann Hughes, Tim Adams, Elmer Hill, Gary Aavang, Floyd Seeman, Alan Swanson, and Cliff Simons. £- Movement Gains Support Debra Gust, chairman of Art in the Park, to be held in conjunction with Fiesta Days, is shown with one of the paintings submitted for exhibit. /•} . " someone' describes the work of Hospice for McHenry county over the past four months. A $500 donation from the Woodstock Rotary, an association membership that has tripled in the past year and over 50 individuals who have volunteered their time and energy to provide care for hospice families are indications that as ,the community learns of hospice care support continues to grow.

Hospice is a concept of care for people who are terminally ill. The two main goals of hospice care are the relief of pain and other symptoms associated with illness and providing supportive care to and his or her family during the illness and bereavement.

Hospice care is delivered by a team with the patient-family being at the center of the team. They are joined by the patient's physician, a hospice- trained nurse and a trained volunteer. Other members of the team may include specialists such as clergy, a mental health professional, legal counsel or physicial therapist.
