- * w w BY JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist . MM (ran KM Family Scntet and Mortal Htattk Clinic of McHmij County. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping - Adolescent Rebellion.") Children struggle with the issue of dependence and in­ dependence without most parents taking particular notice. At adolescence, however, the issue is im­ possible for anyone to ignore. Suddenly, the usually happy, agreeable child becomes an argumentative, sullen tyrant, who seems to derive endless pleasure in seeing how many ways he or she can defy the parents. Perhaps this testing and behavior lasts for weeks and then the adolescent reverts back to the cooperative, happy child. Just as quickly, however, the behavior changes again. Parents at these times often wonder what they have done wrong to raise such an im­ possible child. The answer is not particularly what the parents are doing, but what they represent. To adolescents, the parents are the ultimate symbol of this struggle with dependeitc^sand independence. Adolescents^ars in a transition stage between adulthood and childhood. At times they feel dependent and hate it; at other times they feel independent and are afraid of this. The struggle SECTION 2 - PAGE S - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JULY 13,1»7» is enormous and unlike any struggle the child has ever experienced. I have talked with parents who, in anticipation of the child's ambivalent feelings,' have tried to accept and un­ derstand everything that the child is going through. They are somewhat puzzled when the adolescent reacts with even more stubbornness and defiance. What is evident is that the adolescent does not want to be understood by the object of his or her defiance. The parents represent dependence, the source of the struggle. The child needs to feel that the independence being sought after is justifiable. For the parents, there is hope; adolescence is a tem­ porary affliction. The cure is adulthood, when the person becomes fully independent and can once again be close to the parents.

(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) New State EPA Livestock • o ,, Regulations Now In Effect Operators of livestock feedlots are under \new regulations administered V by the Illinois Environmental Protection agency since June 30. The regulations, mandated by the Illinois Pollution Control board, are designed to curb livestock waste reaching lakes and streams. Prior to the board's adoption of the regulations, the Illinois EPA investigated problems caused by livestock facilities only on a complaint basis. The exceptions were annual in­ spections of facilities operating under an NPDES (National P o l l u t a n t D i s c h a r g e Elimination System program of the USEPA), or where a fish kill occurred or where there was evidence of other gross water quality violation, ac­ cording to James F. Frank, agriculture advisor for the IEPA. Currently there are about 30 feedlot facilities operating under a NPDES permit, based primarily on the number of animal units maintained and PARENTHOOD GUIDEBOOK By Nancy Moore Thurmond (author, Mother's Medicine, Pub. by Wm. Morrow, N.Y.) •Children and mothers gravitate to the kitchen as the focal point of family living. By taking a few extra minutes, following safety precautions, and using patience, mother can have an assistant chef or chore girl--just what you always wanted. In addition to having the satisfaction of having helped _you, children will gain self- esteem, and confidence. When you let them help, you're telling them they're impor­ tant. Children can do simple chores such as setting the table even at the age of two. They can clear nonbreakable china from the table. Have extra-sized sponges and rags for them to clean up drips and spills. Each task should have only a few steps, ^such as taking peas out of a pod, snapping the ends off beans, tearing lettuce, etc. Explain why each step is taken. Little ones can sift flour, crack eggs, peel hard-boiled eggs, pack food in a cup, shell nuts and even check on your measurements. They can peel boiled potatoes and take corn off the cob--with their fingers. They can make their own lemonade and pop corn-su­ pervised. Peanut butter, one of the best sources of econo­ mical protein, is ideal for kid­ die cooks. Let them spread it. For a nutritional snack, let them take the pit out of a prune or date and fill it with peanut butter. Why not give your child the chance to make sandwiches by himself? All he needs is two pieces of bread and the fillings, and if using leftover meats, this is teaching him food shouldn't be wasted. In these summer months, let your children make rainbow coolers for outside eating by putting juice in freezer trays. i • • * • Criticism springs from two sources--intelligent disapproval and emotional reaction. * * * • Our idea of a pleasant life is to have more in­ come than expense, and littte or no work to do. because the facility has a discharge. The new regulations identify a feedlot as any lot maintaining animals a total of 45 days within any 12-month period. Multiple lots under common ownership will be classed as one operation. Other criteria identify those feedlots that must come into immediate compliance. The IEPA is preparing for a gradual in­ crease in the number of facilities which will require an NPDES permit. The new regulations eventually will affect all animal-feeding operations, whether or not they are required to obtain a permit, says Frank. Feedlot operations have been the largest single source of water pollution associated with the handling of livestock waste, Frank indicated. The lots have been a continuing source of odor complaints, according to the Public Affairs office of Illinois EPA. The new regulations affect the selection of site for any new feedlot, control of odor, handling of waste, and the discharge of any effluent from open feeding floors, overflowing lagoons or manure pits that might reach a body of water. Currently there are six specialists in livestock waste management throughout the regional office of IEPA. This staff will be augmented by new personnel who will work ex­ clusively in explaining the new regulations, making site in­ spections and providing sur­ veillance and documenting compliance. Information concerning^ the new regulations, inchiding what the regulations will require for all facilities and whether an operation im­ mediately comes under the requirements, may be obtained from any office of the Illinois Environmental Protection agency. An IEPA office is located at 4302 N. Main, Rock- ford. Headquarters of IEPA are at 2200 Churchill Road, Springfield, 111., 62706. 3 GENERATIONS LOSE 100 POUNDjS EACH Credit Conway Diet institute This mother, grandmother and great grand­ mother, although unrelated, have each lost 100 pounds or more while following the Ideal 1000 Calorie Diet and attending the weekly In­ sight Seminars conducted by the Conway Diet Institute.
