Choose a contemporary or modular sofa in a neutral color to enhance rather than compete with the bold colors in the painting. Dear MoUy MIHIgaa: My living room is long and aarrow. What caa I do to make tiris room appear less like a 1ml? Beth, Austin, TX Dear Beth: The easiest way to square your room is to put dark colors to work for you. Paint the narrow walls a dark' color and the wide walls a light color. The dark walls will seem to leap forward and the light walls will fade back. Another solution is to arrange your furniture in groups, rather than lining chairs and tables up against the walls soldier-fashion. Dear Molly MUUgaa: I have several beaatifa! pieces of to.

Hospice is rewarding work for nurses By Cliff Ward Platnd--tf Honld Www Srrtc* Nurse Joan Bean remembers running a hospital ward of 35 patients one night. One dying patient asked not to be left alone, but the busy nurse, burdened with responsibilities to many patients, didn't have the time to sit and be with the person whose life was quietly ending. Now retired from nursing, Bean today devotes a lot of her time to helping the dying as a volunteer for Hospice for McHenry County. Hospice, which began almost two years ago, is dedicated to relieving pain and other symptoms associated with the terminally ill, as well as providing support for the family of the dying. In the six months since it began providing counseling and other slices, it has aided 27 county residents who have decided that they no longer wish to stay in the hospital and em­ ploy "heroic" medical efforts to combat their diseases. Joan Brown, one of the volunteers who helped start the program, said "We knew it was a good idea." But the -idea, according to volunteers and Hospice for McHenry County Executive Director Jackie Charles, is not a new one. Before the large-scale growth in medical technology in the 1950s and 1960s, most people who died natural deaths did so in their homes, surrounded by family, friends and neighbors. Signaling important in making turns in traffic By Sec. of State Jim Edgar One of the most dangerous situations in everyday chiving occurs when careless motorists move from one traffic lane to another rapidly without signaling. do not swing wide into another f traffic. Safety hints: Always gii turn signal ive the appropriate before changing lanes or when preparing to make a turn. To make a right turn, first check the traffic behind you and onyour Jght. Slow down, signal for the iJ rn and move into the right-hand lane. Then yielz the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles in the intersection. When you make a right turn, of traffic. In addition, a right turn must be completed into the right-hand lane of the street you are entering, The only exception to this rule is for vehicles such as trucks and buses that make a wider turn because sharp turns are impossible. Car drivers should be aware that trucks and buses can use the left-hand lane to turn right, To make a left turn, the left turn lane must be used if one is provided. An adjoining lane may be used if permitted by posted signs or arrows. A left turn may be completed into any lane that is lawfully open to you. Once a turn is completed in either direction, a turn signal is But today, Charles noted, families spread over the country and other factors have often » made dying a lonely event. Hospice tries to excise that loneliness and make death what it truly is - a part of life. However, Brown said, Hospice workers don't advocate simply renouncing th^will to live or the use of drugs or medicine, "What you give up is the technology," she said. "When do we decide to let a person die naturally?" asked Charles, a nursing instructor at Elgin Community College. Although Charles, Bean and Patient Care Coordinator Esther Hackman are, or were, professional nurses, Hospice personnel do not provide medical care. The free Hospice program offers support for the family, such as financial planning and follow-up 'visits during the bereavement period after the death of a loved one. To be eligible, the patient must be a county resident with a prognosis of six months or fewer to live. An attending physician must participate, and the patient must have someone available to help in the home. A Hospice team consists of a trained nurse and the patient's physician, the lay volunteer and specialists, such as clergy, mental health professionals, therapists and legal counsel. Volunteers Brown and Bean, who received a 30-hour training course, said their work is in no sense will ensure that no vehicle is in your blind spot. group counseling. The grant, which will run for seven months, and is planned to serve nearly two hundred Lake County youths, will have its client group referred by local and county juvenile police of­ ficers. . • Initially 10 state areas had been identified for program start up and out of various ap­ plications only Lake County, which received the largest grant, McHenry County, and LaSalle County were awarded grants. Judge Block also stated that the McHenry County grant will be administered by the McHenry County Youth Ser­ vices Bureau. WE TAKE THE GUESS WORK OUT OF TRANSMISSION REPAIR.
