PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 15, 1978 Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 Emberwood West Welcomed As Village Annex The regular monthly meeting of the village of Sunnyside was held Tuesday .March 7. The Board of Trustees voted to have the emblem displayed on our vehicle stickers as the official village emblem. It's also proudly displayed on the Mitchell silo. 4017 Wilmot road. ^)n the sticker is the motto: Recreation, Friendship and Growth. And on this note, we welcome into the village, Emberwood West. This new subdivision was annexed into the village at the Tuesday meeting. Lake Dawnwood across from the Johnsburg high school is also a subdivision of the village. Keep your eyes on Sunnyside, the fastest growing community in the area. March 1 was the deadline for villagers to have vehicle stickers posted on the cars. Violators are now subject to an imposed fine. - VILLAGE LOSS By now most residents of the village know that our squad car burned Thursday, March 2. A few short minutes after Sgt. Boike had gone on duty the interior of the squad car burst into flames. Fortunately Sgt. Boike was out of the car while it was warming up. We could have a real tragedy along with the loss of the car. The exact cause of the fire has not been determined, but a short or faulty wiring is believed to be the cause. Ad­ justers from the insurance company were out the following morning. The village is already looking for a new car and will FROM OUR SPRING 3.32 ' ttt i <55% |""nnnnnnk t^ttt f?nn tnnn httl fttt i ftttj t t t t l •act en jnnn fnnn a*3 fnnn J [nnnf Jnnnf [nnnf '3<3d, -ssssss JSSSSSSS Issssf )SSI\ Issss 3SSSSSSS afiiSSSSl ;sssi JSSSSSSS) ssssssss asssss, JAAAAAAT JAAAAAAI lajuul&AAfl JAAAil^AAn IAAAI^AAAI [\AAA/***AAA-1 Jt^AAAAAAAAi] \AAA* I^AAAl JLLLLI ILLLLI JLLL] ILLL] |LLL] .LLLJ JLLLII ILLLJ JLLL] ILLLLLLLI [LLLLLT.T.I jaaa faaacl (aaa;[ faaa, 'aaaaaaaJ fiSsa E-E'-f.fi EEf.'fl & r* r It's "National Classified Ad Week" MARCH 20th thru 24th So we're making this special offer: PlaceTour classified ad in the urKFNRY PLAINDEALER on Wednesday and Friday and we will put the san"e ^" ® McHENRY County Citizen where it will be seen " 34,000 ADDITIONAL FAMILIES utm im-LV The McHenry Plaindealer 3812 W.

The Pistakee Highlands Women's club is sponsoring an Easter Egg hunt Saturday, March 25, at 10 a.m. All the area children are invited to participate. SNOW SCULPTURE Due to the weather con­ ditions, judging of the Snow Sculpture contest held by the Pistakee Highlands community association has once again been postponed. Because of the cold weather the snow is too dry and artists are unable to pursue their art. It's hoped the slight warming trend of the past week will remedy the situation and thus give the sculpturers a chance to do their creative handiwork. Good luck to you all. BIRTHDAYS This week's birthday greetings go to Ann Gamperl who has her special day March 15. Esther Schneider has her day March 17. And Lorenda Duell does her celebrating March 18.

Jr. YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories First Aid For Cuts and Bites Cats and dogs instinctively treat their own cuts and scratches by licking them clean. But a little extra first aid from the pet owner is still needed to prevent unsightly scars and infections. To properly clean the wound, flush it with warm water or peroxide to remove splinters and other debris. If you use a disinfectant, choose one that is not a phenol derivative (these compounds are especially toxic to cats). The package label will tell you if the product contains phenol. Once the wound is clean, there's no need for a bandage unless the bleeding is per­ sistent. If the bleeding does continue-injuries to the foot pads and ears will bleed the most since these areas are filled with \ numerous blood vessels-apply pressure with a clean cloth held over the wound. After the clot forms you can have your veterinarian decide whether stitches are needed. Bleeding noses and paws commonly result from a pet's attempt to retrieve a discarded food can. Prevention is easier than treatment, so push empty tins deep into your kitchen wastebasket and keep trash cans tightly covered outside. If you have a household accident, keep all pets confined until the last scrap of glass has been picked up. Bites are more trouble than cuts since they usually create more than one wound. Dog bites may produce as many as four separate tooth marks that can be as much as 3 inches apart. These bites also damage tissue several inches from the actual tooth mark when the skin is torn loose from un­ derlying muscles. In such cases, your veterinarian will flush the opening and bind it. Healing usually takes a few days. o Coriservation News lcCullom Lake) (About McCullonlLake) Auction \ The auction, co-spopsored by the McCullom Lake Con­ servation club Sunday, March 5, was well attended. The bidding was lively, and as a result the dredge fund will receive a badly needed boost. The Conservatiota club ap­ preciates the interest, donations and attendance. Shop And Share Reminder Tuesday and Wednesday, March 21 and 22, is Shop and Share days for the Con­ servation club, at a local food, chain. If you have not been contacted, or given an iden­ tification card yet and wish to participate, please contact Mrs. Charles (Joyce) Larson. All proceeds go to the dredge fund. Winter Kill According to the state fishery biologist, many lakes in nor­ theastern Illinois will ex­ perience some degree of winter kill. McCullom Lake is one of the lakes affected. Due to the long period of frozen water, and heavy snow cover, all area lakes are expected to have winter kill in varying degrees. The biologist explains the heavy snow has blocked sunlight from plants, which produce oxygen for the fish during the winter months. If dissolved oxygen levels fall below three P.P.M. it usually means trouble for the fish population. Another contributing factor to winter kill is pollution with organic matter. Some lakes with depth of 10-12 feet are in trouble this year. The last testing on McCullom Lake showed dissolved oxygen level of 1.4 P.P.M. Dredge Plans While members of the Mc­ Cullom Lake Conservation club have been busy this winter with fish derby, auctions, Shop and Share, cookbooks, and various other fund raising events. Another member, has been equally busy laying out plans for the dredging program. Ed Hammer is busy with pencil, paper, and drawings for this year's dredging, when the weather cooperates and the ice melts. Persons who have not yet paid 1977 pledges, or are new residents who may no£_>have received a pledge notice, please contact the club's treasurer, Mrs. Ed (Harriet)Hammer. Interesting Article About an interesting person, and loyal Conservation club member, Elmer Thorp of McCullom Lake, appeared in a local paper this week. Elmer is always there to help the club, the Conservation club offers congratulations, and hopes you enjoy a lot more of those golden years. Symposium A symposium on small lakes management will be held Saturday, April 29, at Lake County college in Grayslake. Persons interested in attending this symposium, can obtain more information by calling Bill Winkel. Please Attend The March meeting of the Conservation club this Thur­ sday, March 16, at the Mc­ Cullom Lake beach house. Mrs. Audis Bowlin 385-8910 Montini Aids Recycling Saturday, March 18, from 9 a.m. to 5p.m. is the time set for McHenry's monthly third- Saturday recycling drive held at the Market Place parking lot. The eighth grade class members from Montini Middle school will be providing the labor the day of the drive and will be working along with the McHenry County Defenders to see that citizens' properly prepared newspapers, bottles, cans and aluminum are moved along in the second step of the recycling process. For those not yet involved in recycling who would like to help community groups by doing so; for those who would like to help the environment by decreasing the amount of trash that ends in landfills through the county; and for those in outlying areas who would like to cut down on the amount of throw-away materials they must pay to have someone remove-here are a few guidelines to follows. 1-Newspapers should be tied securely in both directions in bundles that can be handled easily by the workers. Free rope is on hand at each of the Memorial Hospital Offers Scholarships drives for any family wanting to take some. 2-Clear, green, or brown glass bottles should be clean and have any plastic or metal removed.. 3-All-steel cans, such as those vegetables come in, should be washed, have labels removed, ends cut off and tucked inside, and flattened to save space. 4-All-aluminum products, such as TV dinner trays, siding scraps, and all-aluminum beverage cans should be clean and flattened as much as possible. Most pop and beer cans are not all-aluminum nor all-steel, and consequently cannot be recycled because of their bi­ metal quality. These must be disposed of through the usual trash disposal. Rather than buying beverages in non- reusable containers, the, McHenry County Defenders( encourages use of returnables. The per ounce cost is much less and environment benefits from this action. Those with large quantities of prepared material to be picked up should call Montini Middle school or Mrs. Wm (Alice) Ho wens tine. The Scholarship committee of the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County announces that nursing and paramedical scholarships are now available to McHenry county residents. The scholarships are based on good character references, scholastic achievement and financial need. The applicant must also have been accepted by an accredited school in his or her particular health field. Seventy-eight scholarships have been awarded since the program was started in 1951. In addition to helping people who wish to further their education, this program has been helpful in supplying Memorial hospital with well trained personnel as the recipient of a financial award agrees to return to Memorial hospital for one year of employment, at the then current ^ages, upon com­ pletion of his or her medical training. Applications for these scholarships, which must be returned by May 1, may be procured through any of the McHenry county high schools, through the nursing offfice at Memorial hospital in Wood­ stock, or by writing Mrs. Harold Schmidt, PO Box 701, Woodstock. Obviously cat bites make less of an "impression" than dog bites. But they are no less dangerous. Cats inflict deep punctures that close up rapidly and trap infection-causing bacteria under the skin. A neglected cat bite may become an abscess (a pocket of in­ fection under the skin) and will need to be drained. Your veterinarian may use an­ tibiotics to control the bacterial infections associated with puncture wounds. Having a young male cat neutered will lessen its tendencies to roam and fight, and thus help prevent bite wounds. If a wound won't heal because your pet irritates it, you may have to use an Elizabethan collar-a large circle of heavy cardboard or other stiff material that fits over the pet's head and prevents it from turning and reaching the injury. If the pet removes bandages with repeated scratching, you can wrap the foot on that side with cotton batting and gauze until the wound heals. Pets in pain may in­ stinctively bite anyone trying to fsERVICENEWsl Major Kaiser Is Army Staff College Student MAJ. DENNIS KAISER Major Dennis A. Kaiser, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton F. Kaiser, 4006 Hillcrest, McHenry, recently arrived in Norfolk, Va., where he will be a student at the Armed Forces Staff college. The student body includes officers of all U.S. armed services, civilian represen­ tatives from U.S. government agencies and officers from five allied nations. The Staff college, operated under the direct supervision of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prepares mid-career officers for assignment to joint and combined commands, attache and advisory duty to foreign nations and defense management positions. Students study joint and c o m b i n e d p l a n n i n g , organization and operations, defense management, data processing, communicative arts and the social, economic and political aspects of national strategy. Maj. Kaiser entered the Army in December of 1965 and received his commission through an officer candidate school. The officer received an M.S degree in business ad­ ministration in 1975 from New York Institute of Technology, Long Island. His wife, Dorette, is with him in Virginia. Local Youth Choses Naval Tour Of Duty Dion J. Morin, son of Robert and Shirley Elder of 3008 S. Riverside drive, McHenry, has reported for recruit training with the U.S. Navy at Recruit Training center, Great Lakes. ^SHis enlistment began last month when he joined the seas service under the Delayed Entry program, which gives an enlistee up to 12 months to report for active duty. Upon completion of "boot camp," Dion will begin his schooling in the Aviation Maintenance administration field. I EDUCATIONAL >, I administer aid, especially if the antiseptic stings or if the wound is aggravated by movement. So even if your pet is normally good-natured, it is wise to apply some sort of mouth tie or muzzle before treating a sore spot. Dr. Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. Advertising is the art of persuading someone that what you have to sell is worth more to him than his money. • • • • The person who drinks his first cocktail never sees himself as a probable alcoholic, but it has hap­ pened before. j College Honors j DEAN'S LIST Keith R.

CONSUMER GUIDELINES If your home is heated by steam, check your boiler periodically. There's a glass gauge mounted outside the boiler and the water in the vertical tube shows the water level in the boiler. It should be half way up the tube. Dirt inside the glass tube indicates boiler water is dirty and needs attention.
