Those people claim to cart for their pets. I doubt it very much. "Those people should sit in that same car on a hot day. They just don't realize how hot it gets in there. "They say that they love their pfets. If that's love, then I'm glad they don't love me. I personally have seen what a 'hot' car can do to a dog. "A few years back, my children and I were at the Lake County fairgrounds in Grayslake. If you have ever been there, you know what the parking lot is like-no shade anywhere. "Well, there was a big crowd in front of the first aid station and being a nosy female, I went up to see what was happening. Well, there was this very small poodle wrapped up in wet towels. It seems that its owner left the dog in the car with the windows cracked open, and later in the day, when she returned, she found her dog under the seat half dead from heat exhaustion. "She was lucky. Her dog survived. I loudly said that she should be treated the same way she treats her dog. People like this shouldn't have pets. "Well, I could run on and on about this. Personally, I put notes on the cars asking the people to leave their pets at home on hot days. Sure they love to ride, but they don't like to 'cook', and this is what it amounts to.

Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health staff. This article is "Coping - Obsessive Compulsive Behavior") The disorder of obsessive compulsive behavior is ac­ tually two disorders, but because the two are so often associated with each other, they are usually dealt with together. The obsessiveness usually takes the form of unwanted, persistent thoughts which recur on a regular basis. The thoughts may have a relatively innocuous content, such as thinking persistently about some philosophical issue, or the thoughts may be extremely repulsive to the patient, such as recurrent thoughts of the death or mutilation of a family member. The fear generated by these thoughts may be in­ tense, although the thoughts never lead to any violently aggressive behavior. Compulsiveness is an enactment of some repetitive action repeatedly. At times, the compulsive act may interfere drastically with a person's functioning. One of the most common types of compulsive behavior is hand washing. The patient may spend Jiterally hours during the day washing his hands again and again. Other forms of obsessiveness include compulsive checking to see if a job is done correctly, such as checking to see if the door is locked three or four or more times before going to bed. Obsessiveness and com­ pulsiveness seem to have in common a general feeling of anxiety. Usually there is an element of guilt for some imagined or real event. The ritualistic thoughts and actions are an attempt to alleviate the uncomfortable feelings. The rituals do partly alleviate these feelings, but the patient soon finds that the rituals become more intricate and time con­ suming. . • Study Water Pollution In Kishwaukee River Refreshments, pop and hot dogs will be available throughout the day.

Results of more than a year of research on water pollution in the Kishwaukee river and its tributaries were aired at a public meeting in Algonquin recently. Local government leaders, environmentalists, farmers and other citizens concerned about the Kishwaukee river, Coon and Piscasaw creeks and other streams attended. fhe meeting began at 7:30 p.m. in the Algonquin Village hall, and was co-sponsored by committees from Kane and McHenry counties that have been helping the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) build an areawide clean water plan. Representatives from NIPC explained research results which indicate that parts of the Kishwaukee basin sirfi^from high concentrations of am­ monia, low oxygen levels and other water quality problems. The Kishwaukee river and its tributaries drain more than 400 square miles in western McHenry county and northern Kane county. The Kishwaukee basin is one of a dozen major drainage systems that will be covered by the areawide clean water plan to be completed by NIPC by May of 1978. All sources of water pollution, including local sewage treatment plants, in­ dustries and stormwater runoff from urban, suburban and agricultural areas, were ad­ dressed. The purpose of the meeting was to explain the apparent problems in the Kishwaukee and get local suggestions on possible solutions. During July NIPC will use guidance from area residents to develop a proposed water quality plan for t^§ Kish­ waukee. Computer systems developed by NIPC will be used to evaluate the effects on water quality that could be expected if the proposed plan were implemented. Local officials and citizens will be asked to help NIPC evaluate economic, social and political impacts that could be Kindness has never yet done anyone serious harm. of McHenry 2 MILES NORTH ON RTE. 31 385-8808 COMPLETE MENU and DEEP DISH PIZZA (CARRY-OUTS) ENTERTAINMENT 7 NIGHTS A WEEK!

If the first proposal proves to be inadequate, a second plan for the Kishwaukee would be developed, tested and evaluated, again with the participation of local officials and other citizens from the Kishwaukee area. By the end of summer NIPC hopes to have a "preferred"' plan selected for the basin. Such a plan not only would have satisfactory impacts on water quality but would be acceptable to residents of the basin from economic, social and political standpoints. A similar process will begin in July with respect to water quality problems in the Fox river system. Citizens com­ mittees from McHenry and Kane counties, along With in­ terested residents of the counties, also will be involved in planning for Fox River water quality. sCo-chairmen of the McHenry county Local Steering com­ mittee for clean water planning are Raymond Bangert. mayor of Algonquin and Ervin Walters. McHenry county board member. The Kan6 county Local Steering com­ mittee is chaired by Philip Elfstrom. chairman of the Kane county board. Citizens who would like more information on the clean water planning efforts in the two counties should call John Nagy, (815) 338-2040 in McHenry county.
