Box 205 * Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 •(815)459-2641 X By Mary Nelson On March 26, at 6:05 p.m.^ Helping Paws made the Channel 7 T V. Newscast. It„ was a first for HP and a.very revealing experience for me. If I had the opportunity to be interviewed again, I would know what not to do. From the minute they walked into our home, they were obviously very com­ petent to take charge. It was interesting to watch as they set up the lights and positioned myself and reporter. Diane Lawson. I was told that they were just checking out their lighting and sourid equipment. What I didn't know, "was that the questions Diane was asking were not just a run through but, in fact, was the real thing. Of course this little deception was done to make me feel relaxed and it did work. However, I kept wanting to finish a sentence in order to make a point. This never happened. Diane had the lead all of the way and she didn't even know at first to whom she was speaking. She had no idea that I was SENIOR CITIZENS Skilled Nursing Home Insurance AFTER YOU GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, THEN WHAT? When you're in the hospital because of an accident or sickness your main concern is getting better, BUT--once your condition does improve, if the hospital is crowded, you may be asked to leave before you're completely back on your feet!!!You may still need help--you may still need nursing, therapy, supervision of a doctor. THE ONLY ANSWER AT THAT POINT IS A SKILLED NURSING HOME. Yes, there now is protection, far beyond what MEDICARE gives you, that you can have for such expenses. For more information, with NO OBLIGATION on how you can have this protection, call or write: PITTS INSURANCE AGENCY P.O.

When I finally told her that it was Helping Paws, I requested that she make sure that the name] was right. Even though I saw her write it down, on the screen at air time there it was..."Mc Henry County Humane Society". , I felt terribly depressed when I saw that. HP needs all the name publicity it can get in order to be effective. The oppotunity may never present itself again. I also told her to please make sure that the reward we are offering of $500 for the arrest and conviction of. the cat castrator in Lake in the Hills, was attributed publically to the joint efforts of HP, a local business* Anti Cruelty Society and the Illinois State Federation of Humane Societies. This was never mentioned. The other important point I wanted her to make public was that although cooperation is not coming from law enforcement of­ ficials. it is coming from Jack Rehorst and the Animal Control Center. I have called him on several occasions about more LITH resident con­ cerns, and he has in­ vestigated that very day. That is the ultimate in cooperation. He further gives me a report on his findings.

He has had the report on the in­ vestigation by the LITH Police, since Feb. 27. I hope to hear fronHiim «oon. I don't expect to be privy to confidential information but I am committed to tell . the public what is hap­ pening; The meeting on the 29th of February at the LITH PO. A. building made it clear that you want to know and that you care. HP has in its hands, a document "written and researched by one of our readers which may, if it became law, eliminate almost completely the problems of pet abuse within our state. This may sound too good to be true, but a committee will be formed to check it out further. By eliminating pet abuse I mean eliminate the following: pet euthanasia duejto over population; pet indescriminate breeding, cruelty and neglect, waste of tax dollars and on and on. The special interest groups usually offended by pet laws, would be, in fact, over-joyed , such groups as breeders (licensed and reliable); Animal Control; Humane Societies; veterinarians and the general concerned public. To do all of this, it is quite a law but simple to enact and rewardingly simple to en­ force. Anyone interested in helping check this program out and getting it ready for submission, please contact president, Gary Boettcher, 312-639-2881. All interested parties are most welcome. We feel confident that HP , itsi readers and contributors, will one day be able to help our county and state by aiding them in the correction and curing of one of society 's greatest inhumanities....pet abuse. The adoption fee includes the cost of the spay or neuter surgery from a vet of HP's choice or a deduction from the cost of the surgery by a Vetof-your choice.

Phone 385-2131 x V Spring is officially here now, and everyone is putting away the snowblower and shovel, arid getting out the shorts and bicycles for another Summer's fun. Here are a few tips for things you should check on your bike before starting off, and a few others for proper use of your bike for a safe Sum­ mer's riding. • On the bike itself: check the tires for proper inflation, thread depth, and any cracks in the sides of the tire. You'll want to be sure that the tires will not go flat while you are riding and run the possibility of losing control. Check the nuts and bolts on the seat and handlebars to insure that neither will slip or move while you are riding and adjust the seat height so that your feet rest easily on the pedals and not pushing with your toes. Also check the chain for proper tension, and oil it enough so that it will not Musical Theatre break from rust or wear. Find, the master link and make sure all the pieces of it are there. For accessories: make sure the horn or bell still works; that you have an operating headlight, visable for 500 feet or so; a chain guar^, properly installed and secure; and enough reflectors front and back that are not broken to enable others to see you properly. There are reflectors that attach to the spokes so that you can be seen at night from the side, which is also a good idea. Most new bikes purchased have these already installed, and they are excellent. Now, about riding: the question is asked most is an­ swered here. Ride on the right side of the road, WITH the traffic flow, not AGAINST it. When you ride on the street, you are a vehicle, and this is not England, so you ride just like any other Vehicle, on the right side, close to the curb. Avoid, if you can, very t>usy streets, and ride only under your own power ; no hitching rides on moving vehicles. Ride single file when with others, one bike length or more behind the leader or bike in front of you, with both hands on the handlebars. If you are on the street, you must obey all the laws pertaining to any other vehicle, which means signaling your turns, yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians, and above all, stop at all "STOP" signs! You don't drive a car through a stop sign for fear of getting hit broadside, not to mention a ticket; what makes it OK to do it on a bicycle? The same laws apply, as do the same fines. (Yes Elizabeth, you can get a ticket on a bicycle!!). Please be careful, and check out your bikes for a safe, fun summer. Li'l Abner Comes To Life Perhaps one of the best known and best loved locations anywhere in the entire United States of America is a mythical town somewhere in the South known simply as Dogpatch, U.S.A. In this small town, some of the best-loved characters ever to grace the comics were created and lived out their lives over the 43-year period that A1 Capp presented them to an adoring public. Of course, this refers to the Yokums - Mammy, Pappy and Li'l Abner - and all of their zany friends and family. Dogpatch, of course, can only exist in the minds of its creator and its fans. Where else in the entire world is there a special day in which anv bachelor, caught by any lady before sundown, has to marry that lady (except for ladies over a 100, who are entitled to any boy they want)? Where else in the entire United States is there a place that only can grow one crop - turnips? Where else is there Dogpatch ham - and no matter how much of it you chewed off, you could sleep peacefully, for by morning it would have restored itself? All of these things occur only in Dogpatch. Dogpatch and all of the Li'l Abner creations were the result of the fertile mind of the versatile A1 Capp, who kept the American public in stitches following all of the antics of Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae and all of the beloved characters of Dogpatch. The Woodstock Musical Theatre company is presenting a reminiscent romp through the annals of Dogpatch when it presents the play "Li'l Abner" at the Woodstock Opera House for three consecutive weekends opening April 11 and closing April 26. The audience will meet the characters they have followed for years in the comic strip which its creator, A1 Capp (who died just a few months ago) considered to be the closest family he ever had. Curtain times will be at 8:30 for the Friday and Saturday evening per­ formances, and at 6 for the Sunday matinees. There are special student and senior citizen rates for all Friday and Sunday performances. Group rates are also available. For further in­ formation and ticket reservations, call the Woodstock Opera House box office. Music-Dance For Students The Chicago Opera theater performed a reduced ver­ sion of Rossini's opera, "The Barber of Seville", Tuesday, April 1, at Woodstock Opera House.
