SECTION 2 - PAGE 12 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8,1984 Health Department offers tips to beat summer's heat Orientation set for hospice volunteers If the last week or two is any indication, we will be having a considerable amount of heat over the balance of the summer. The McHenry County Depart­ ment of Health wishes to remind you of information which has been shared during past sum- ^mers regarding a few 'precautionary measures which "we all should take when the • 'temperature rises. V If it is necessary to be out in the sun, wear sunglasses and use suntan lotion to protect your skin from sunburn if possible. If ' you do get a sunburn, apply burn * 'ointment or cold cream to -relieve the pain in mild cases, but in severe cases involving blisters or extensive burns, seek medical attention. Heat exhaustion usually is caused by hard physical effort in extreme heat. Therefore, to prevent heat exhaustion, try to put off any hard physical effort until the cooler time of the day. A person suffering from heat exhaustion normally has a pale face, cold and clammy skin, heavy perspiration and shallow breathing. Anyone suffering from heat exhaustion should loosen their clothing and seek medical help immediately. Sunstroke, which is caused by over exposure to the sun or heat, differs from heat exhaustion in that the victim's face will be red and dry, the skin will be hot and the person will have a high temperature. Breathing may be slow and noisy and in extreme rases the victim may lose consciousness. If a person has lost consciousness, he or she should be placed on their back in the shade with their head slightly raised, clothing should be loosened and the person should be sponged with alcohol or lukewarm water while awaiting medical help. Unless absolutely necessary, during the extreme heat all persons should remain inside in an air-conditioned building or in the shade where a breeze can be felt. All hard physical effort should be avoided in the ex­ treme heat and large portions of water should be taken to makeup for body fluids lost through perspiration. In­ dividuals with heart conditions or respiratory conditions should be especially careful to avoid physical effort and to remain cool If you are concerned about your condition and its relationship to the hot weather, you should contact your physician for additional hints as to weathering the extreme heat. Orientation for persons in­ terested in becoming volunteers for Hospice for McHenry County will be held Thursday, August 16, from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. at M.C.C. in Crystal Lake. A discussion of hospice care, an overview and dates of training sessions, expectations of volunteers and a hospice film will be shared. For further information, call the hospice office at 338-5450 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. State police keeping eye on unmanned tollbooth violators ,, Motorists traveling the Illinois : Tollway have been getting back to the old trend of failing to pay their tolls at the 11 unmanned toll plazas on the tollway system. Captain Hugh S. McGinley, commander of District 15, stated, "It has been almost a year since we have vigorously enforced the law against cheaters at these unmanned plazas. It seems that if a squad is not in the area, the motorists don't pay." r J There are eleven toll plazas on ,l"the 258-mile long Illinois < Tollroad System that do not have collectors at them. I 4 * I1 " Motorists are left to their honesty to pay the toll. These plazas are located on entrance and exit ramps between the main plazas. While traffic is up five percent for the first four months of 1984 compared to the 1983, tolls at the unmanned plazas have dropped seven percent. Captain McGinley warns, "The fine if you are convicted for toll evasion is $50. That's 125 times the 40-cent toll you didn't pay. So in the long run, dishonesty will pay, $50, that is. State troopers will be watching these unmanned toll plazas and issuing arrest tickets, not warnings."
