PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. JULY 2S, 1177 McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farreil • i 344-1575 -t.j Parental Responsibility Ordinance OK'd At the village board meeting held Tuesday, July 12, the very important new Parental Responsibility ordinance was approved by the board. The ordinance states that parents will be held responsible for unlawful acts performed by their children. Compensation will be made by parents for vandalism committed by their children. This ordinance Will be enforced, it will not just sit on the books, and this may be what the village needs. y' Another matter brought up at Tuesday's meeting is that of dogs running at large through the village and, especially, in the lake and around the beach area. I have had numerous phone calls about this problem, also, so it is becoming a big pain to many villagers. The dogs go swynminjun the lake, leaving behind diif; fleas, dog hair, and other unmentionable baddies. If your dog is one of the many offenders, please refrain from allowing him to swim in McCullom Lake. If you want him to stay cool on these hot days, keep him in the air conditioned house, or buy him his own pool. We don't need any more problems with our lake. WE'RE SHORT Someone has recently "borrowed" a table and five chairs from the beach house without telling Gene Huff, or anyone else. If you want to borrow tables and chairs for some reason, please contact Gene, as he is responsible for the beach house and its belongings. Do not go in and take them out for any reason without clearing it with Gene first. He's a really easy guy to get along with, and he would be happy to let you use them for any good reason, but you must clear it with him first. As for the table and Ave chairs that are now missing, please return them at your earliest convenience. No questions will be asked. The Beach Gals used their hard earned money to purchase these tables and chairs for village functions at the beach house, and it is not fair that one person should deprive the whole village of the pleasure of using them. BOATING RULES Gene Huff has asked me to print the McCullom Lake boating rules for all villagers, so that those with boats will know what to do with them. 1) Boats must have Illinois registration numbers and be in appropriate place on boat. Illinois boating laws apply on McCullom Lake. ' 2) All boats using launch site must be registered with the village clerk. Her hours, at the beach house, are Wednesday, 12 to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A fee will be charged for the registration number. This registration number will be placed in the outside front of the boat, along with the Illinois numbers. 3) McCullom Lake residents will be allowed no more than two boat permits. 4) Non-residents will not be issued a boat permit. 5) Ten boats will be allowed to be left at the launch site, at a cost per boat. Boats found at launch site, not being recorded as having a permit to be left there, will be towed away at the owner's expense. No respon­ sibility for theft or damage will be assumed by the village of McCullom Lake. 6) Boat more than fourteen feet in length, with more than seven horsepower, will not be allowed on the ltrice. 7) There will be no parking on road to or at launch site. A V minimum time will beallowed to unload equipment and return vehicle and trailer to parking lot. 8) Boats left at launch site must be removed by Oct. 31, 1977. After this date, remaining boats will be removed by the village at the owner's expense. Have a safe and fcft boating GET WELL SOON Carrie Kurth of Parkview avenue is in Woodstock hospital, and I'm sure that any wishes you might like to send would be appreciated. We hope she'll be back in tip-top Shape in no time at all. SUMMER FUN The Raycraft family has really been on the move lately, having lots of summer fun. Sunday, July 10, found them with the Guy Ambrose family of Johnsburg, attending a rodeao. All the kids, especially the boys, loved the bucking broncos, the ropers with their tricks, and the rodeo clowns. On Monday, July 11, Jackie, Joe and Bob Raycraft, along with Sandv Ambrose and Linda Jenny andVal, journeyed up to Gurnee to the large amusement park located there. They had lots of fun, even though they got rained on and then fried by the sun. Bob has grown considerably since last year, and was big enough to go on all the white- knuckle rides, which delighted him, but made Jackie slightly ill.

PUPPIES AND KITTENS ARE CUTE The proliferation of pet animals, dogs and cats, con­ tinues endlessly and hopelessly. Anyone doubting this should check with any humane society operating a shelter, or even those who do not have a shelter. Check with the local municipal or county pound. Statistically, throughout the United States, 70 to 80 percent of all animals turned in to humane shelters or picked up by municipal pounds must be destroyed because there are not enough homes for these animals. Fifty percent of the stray animals are never claimed by their owners. Whether these unwanted animals are "euthanized" by the use of decompression chambers, gas chambers or are individually injected with an overdose of barbituates, the result is the same, they are destroyed. Of the remaining 20 to 30 percent, approximately half are adopted into good homes by responsible owners. Whose fault is all this needless destruction of helpless creatures. They did not ask to be born in the first place. They did not ask to be taken to a shelter or pound. They do not ask to be killed. I have yet to hear of an animal who on its own walked into a pound or shelter, jumped up on the table and waited for the needle or sat in the decompression chamber and waited for the button to be pushed. If anyone knows of a case, I'd like to hear of it. All too often the people who voluntarily accept the responsibility for "eutanizing" homeless, unwanted pets, and those whose job it is to "euthanize" the overabun­ dance of dogs and cats are labeled as cold-hearted killers. Again, I haven't yet met a single person who 01 joyed the grizzly task. Does anyone think it is easy to hold a dog who is wagging its tail and perhaps licking the hand that holds it or a cat that it purring up a storm while being held to make sure that the needle goes in properly and death is as painless as possible? In the last two months we received almost daily calls from people who say, "This is our pet's first litter. It was an accident. Can you come and take the litter since we are unable to find homes for them?" In almost every instance we hear, "the puppies (or kittens) were so cute. We're glad the children had the opportunity to see the whelping. But now they are getting so big and they are really a messy nuisance. We want to get rid of them now." On a couple of occasions we've heard, "My husband said to get rid of them today before he comes home." And, "You must take the litter today because we are moving at the end of the week." Others have said, "Our dog just had another litter. We want you to find homes for them and the mother dog, too, because we are tired of her constantly getting pregnant. We don't want to have them put to sleep because we love animals, but spaying is so expensive." Yes spaying is expensive. It is cheaper to get rid of the lot. We have offered low-cost spaying to some people and have been told that the dog "is not worth $25." Not a single person has told us of having tried to work out a payment plan with their veterinarian for spaying and being turned down. Five or $10 a month (the price of 3 lbs., of coffee or a couple six-packs of beverages, saved ih a special account or cookie jar or paid in advance to the veterinarian will in a short time pay for even the most expensive $50 or $60 spay operation. Not a single person has taken the trouble of looking in the Yellow Pages under veterinarians to com­ pare prices for spaying, some are as low as $35, which is what we pay. Not a single person has told me of contacting a humane society for a low-cost or sub­ sidized spaying and being turned down. All humane societies have some kind of spay program. We cannot guarantee homes, much less good ones, for the whole litter and the mother. We can guarantee to help. In turn, we need your guarantee to help us help. We need donations to our spay fund, which is running a little low. We need help to drive dogs and cats to be spayed and neutered. Before you label anyone a cold-hearted killer, be sure you know all the facts. Above all. be sure that you have done everything in your powerto help. For the most part the pets available for adoption this week are the same as they were for last week. Some haajbeen listed as long as three months. What is to happen to them? .
