A man, later described as a white male in his early 30s, sud­ denly stepped out from behind some bushes. He grabbed the victim by the throat and said, "Give me your ring." He then took all the woman's jewelry, including two rings, a gold necklace, and gold earrings. The victim told police that the man stood 6-foot-l to 6-foot-2, weighed 210-220 pounds, and had a stocky build with dark hair, beard and a mustache. He was wearing a dark-colored pullover shirt.

Answer softly, but answer quick­ ly. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cycle high.

Copyright 1985 Milligan Syndicate Problems concerning trees make up a large percentage of the horti­ culture calls recently coming into the McHenry County Cooperative Extension Service office.1 It's surprising how many tree problems are not actually caused by disease or insects but by environ­ mental and man-made causes. Careful analysis of individual tree problems usually will reveal the source of an unhealthy tree. Typical symptoms of a problem tree include dieback of the upper or scattered portions of the tree. Over­ all, the foil age may look quite thin. Leaves may be wilting, drying up, and perhaps falling early in the year. Close inspection of leaves on the tree may reveal scorching, a condition where the edges and pos­ sibly areas between the veins are Whereas various diseases can cause these symptoms, many are directly due to the weather or some­ thing happening in the immediate vicinity of the tree. The past two seasons, the weather has caused problems for many trees. The winter of 1983-84 had al­ ternating record cold spells with record warm spells, while the win­ ter of 1984-85 showed record cold. Combined with these winters has been drought during the growing season, especially this year with a very dry, warm spring. Looking carefully at a tree and its surrounding area may provide the answer as to why it isn't growing well. Start by looking at the trunk, es­ pecially light near ground level. Damaged or mireing bark areas, often due to lawn mowers, will lead to the decline of shade trees. Anoth­ er condition known as sunscald or frostcracking may cause problems for smooth-barked trees, such as maples and fruit trees. This may be the cause of splitting or cracking bark areas. Wrap trees in late fall to help prevent this. Recent construction around trees is another common problem which lends to shade tree decline. Fence off the entire root area of trees before working near tress. Con­ struction damage may not show up for three or more years after it occurs. Trees growing along streets, driveways, parking lots and near buildings are under stress, thus commonly appear unhealthy. In ad­ dition to being subject to direct damage from vehicles, these trees often have restricted root systems; receive litUe water; and are subject to excessive road salts, vehicle ex­ haust and heat during the summer months. Finally, consider any chemicals used in the area recently. Trees can be damaged by improperly used herbicides. Remember that some vegetation killers may move slight­ ly from where they were originally applied, so even if the tree was not sprayed direcUy, it can still be harmed. Read and follow all label directions on herbicides to prevent damage to trees. While the numerous problems which effect shade trees cannot be summed iq> in one column, many unhealthy trees can be effectively diagnosed using these ideas.

The greater Chicago area sent 158 people to the camp, which is playing host to 1,360 musicians and artists from around the world. The eight-week camp studies mu­ sic, drama, dance and visual arts. The camp is divided into junior, intermediate and high school divisions. Among the world-famous artists appearing at Interlochen this sum­ mer are Gerry Mulligan, Maxim Shostakovich, Chuck Mangione, Bob James and the Canadian Brass. More than half a million visitors come to Interlochen each summer for the annual Arts Festival. Area residents who participated in the camp follow: Barrington: Andrea Bufka, Inter­ mediate Girls, drama major; John Burkwall, Junior Boys, organ major. . Caiy :$tev«o~Giarico, Intermedi­ ate Boys, tubamajor. Crystal Lake: Michelle Pena, In­ termediate Girls, chorus major. Elgin: Liza Schaffner, High School Girls, piano major. The National Music Camp was founded in 1928 by Joseph Maddy, who wanted a place where mem­ bers of the National High School Orchestra could spend their sum­ mers rehearsing, performing and enjoying the beauty of their surroundings. The camp has grown from 115 campers that first summer. In 1962, the Interlochen Arts Academy was added to offer year-round education in the arts for talented high school students. In addition to the eight-week pro­ gram, 1,500 high school students from Michigan participated in one of four two-week All-State sessions. The camp is built on 1,200 wooded acres located in the northwest cor­ nel* of lower Michigan.

Every year the Lions collect hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyeglasses which haveoutlived their usefulness or are outmoded. The same is true with hearing aids. The eyeglasses are recycled by the Lions and distributed to needy persons throughout the world. The hearing aids are sorted out, refur­ bished and distributed to needy per­ sons here in Illinois through the Lions Used Hearing Aid Bank. Illinois Lions collect about 250,000 pairs of used eyeglasses every year. Volunteers sort and wrap the glass­ es for shipment overseas under a program administered by the Lions of Illinois Foundation, the philan­ thropic arm of the state's more than 700 Lions Clubs. While the eyeglasses go overseas, the hearing aids remain here in Illinois. "New hearing aids are expensive and can cost hundreds of dollars, making it hard for many persons to obtain them, no matter how bad the need;" said Donald Suhr of Bridge- view, state chairman of the Lions Coordinating Committee on Hearing Services. Under the Lions Used Hearing Aid Bank program, hearing aids are refurbished and made available to persons who need them but cannot afford a new aid. Lions Clubs help pay the costs of refurbishing the aid and fitting it to the person. Hearing aids, like eyeglasses, are specially prescribed for the persons needing them. Aids from the Lions Bank are fitted with the help of a medical doctor and an audiologist and other professionals. While not all persons can obtain a hearing aid through the Used Hear­ ing Aid Bank, the Lions have had a success rate of about 80% in supply­ ing aids. "Once the aid is fitted to a per­ son," aid Suhr, "it is that person's responsibility to keep batteries up to date and to handle normal maintenance." Suhr indicated that eyeglasses and hearing aids are always in de­ mand. Persons interested in donat­ ing their old eyeglasses or hearing aids may give them to any member of the local Lions Club or they may drop them off at various collection points. Names of collection points can be obtained from local Lions Clubs. ; Whatever your business, you need to have the right combination of software and peripherals to efficiently use any business computer.
