Volunteers Sworn In As Auxiliary Deputies Nineteen volunteers were recently sworn in as auxiliary deputy sheriffs of McHenry county by Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell. This took place after the graduation of an advanced police training course of 150 hours. The course, which began in November, included in­ structions in police procedures, law, accident investigation, traffic stops and arrests, firearms training and q u a l i f i c a t i o n , j u v e n i l e procedures, drug enforcement, self-defense, riot control and radio procedures. Sheriff Tyrrell in addressing the graduates, impressed upon them their importance as an addition in his department. He stated that programs like this have been most successful in other parts of the coutnry. Ross Kitchen, chairman of the McHenry county board's Public Safety committee, explained the function of his committee and the fact that they are the liaison for the sheriff and the Emergency Services & Disaster depart­ m e n t s . H e n o t e d t h e i m ­ portance of the volunteers' efforts and the appreciaiton of the county board for their dedication. The featured speaker was A l e x a n d e r M a c A r t h u r , chairman of the McHenry county Sheriff's Merit com­ mission, who outlined the responsibility of this board. He stated that although the commission has no direct control of the auxiliary deputies, they do have an in­ terest in them and are very pleased with their addition to the department. John J. Shay, director of the McHenry county Emergency Services & Disaster agency (MCESDA), acted as coor­ dinator for the graduation. He stated that this program was in the best interest of good emergency planning and that their department administers the program for the Sheriff. If a disaster occurs in McHenry county, sufficient help must be available to recover as soon as possible and the first and probably most important need is for an adequate police,said Shay. He said his department functions as coordinator for the program handling all the ad­ ministrative duties. Whenever this division is activated, they are under the direct super- viison of the sheriff's depart­ ment. He noted that thirty-five people who were in the auxiliary program are now employed full or part time by police departments and three are full time deputy sheriffs in •> McHenry county. Captain Robert Crabtree, who administers the program within the sheriff's department explained how the auxiliary deputies not only ride in county squads, but also assist the sheriff's department in jail control, guarding hospitalized prisoners and at various civic events such as the County fair, Algonquin Founders days, McHenry Marine festival, etc. During the past year these dedicated volunteers donated 9732 work hours driving a total of 57,187 miles to these details. If any man or woman is in­ terested in joining or needs additional information they may contact the MCESDA office at Woodstock. Among those taking the oath of office as McHenry county auxiliary deputy sheriffs were Shirley Hosie, William K o l l e n k a r k , R a y m o n d Kuemmel and James Ladd, all of McHenry. YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Shedding Hair One of the more common questions asked of a veterinarian is "why does my dog (or cat) shed so much?" The answer is that pets and other animals shed hair in response to certain factors in their environment, primarily temperature changes and the amount of light they're exposed to. When cats and dogs were basically outdoor animals, they shed twice a year. In the spring, the heavy winter hair dropped out to make way for a lighter summer coat. In fall, this light coat made way for a coarser, thicker winter coat. The change was completed in three to four weeks. For pets that live indoors, shedding becomes a year-round activity. Lack of exercise, indoor heating and the extra hours of artificial daylight combine to produce a steady, sometimes annoying hair loss. Shedding is a natural process. There is little you can do to control it except to keep your pet well-groomed. Grooming equipment varies according to the type of coat your pet has. A fine comb is good for shorthaired dogs. A comb with widely-spaced teeth is better for long-haired breeds. You also need a brush: one with short bristles if you have a short or medium-haired dog and longer bristles for a long­ haired dog. Basic grooming work is done with the comb. It helps to remove loose hair, small twigs and other debris, and is useful in unraveling knots and snarls. When the pet is thoroughly combed, you are ready to use the brush. Brushing should supplement but not replace combing since brush bristles often do not reach the undercoat on long­ haired pets. For a smooth and fluffy coat, brush in the direction you want the hair to lie. Proper cat grooming is somewhat different. A long­ haired cat is groomed primarily with the brush and finished with the comb to fluff the fur. Short-haired cats need only a short brushing, followed by gentle petting. The oil from your own skin will smooth the fur and add to the coat's sheen. Depite your good intentions, you pet may refuse to cooperate with grooming. If possible, start grooming your pet while it is young to avoid irksome obedience problems later. You can teach an older pet to tolerate grooming by doing only a small section at a time and being careful not to puii the skin. In the beginning you may need a friend to restrain the pet if it persists in wriggling away. Shedding is routine, but excessive hair loss can be the symptom of an underlying problem. Excessive bathing with strong soap dries the skin and the hair and will cause abnormal shedding. Dogs also lose hair from thyroid gland problems, allergies and high fevers. Some pregnant females, particularly long-haired pets, lose hair when they are fed inadequate diets following delivery of their offspring. Diets that are adequate for a normal adult pet do not always provide adequate nutrition for a nursing mother. She may need more protein and fat until the young are weaned. If you think your pet is losing too much hair, check with your veterinarian. Excessive shedding, especially when the skin is also irritated, is not normal. Your pet deserves the benefit of professional medical attention. 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. have a nice weekend. brighten something mmmmrnm The McHenry Plaindealer ry I Established 1075 3012 West Elm Street Phone 3SS-0170 McHenry, Illinois 40050 Published Every Wednesday 4 Friday at McHenry, Second Class Postaga Paid at McHenry.

Today's young people are flocking to schools and recreation opportunities in record numbers. You can gain valuable knowledge and ex­ perience unique leisure activities without spending a fortune. Many educational programs are now offered free or at a very- low cost. Short courses, public projects, documenteries. edu­ cational television and more are available to everyone--includ­ ing young adults. Reduce your educational ex­ p e n s e s b y u t i l i z i n g l i b r a r y facilities whenever available. At- tendl public instead of private schoWs and in-state versus out-of- state colleges. By saving in advance, you can avoid burdensome credit encum- berances upon entering college. If you must borrow, seek low in­ terest-type loans Take advan­ tage of the numerous work-study programs offered by most universities. On-the-job training is another method of upgrading your skills Stick with accredited colleges and avoid dealing with unknown schools As far as recreation is con­ cerned. take advantage of "mini- trips" and one-day adventures as a way of alleviating boredom Perhaps you can even combine a part-time job with travel to an in­ teresting area--me job helping to finance the travel Most importantly, take advan­ tage of the recreational outlets in your own community. Many are free or low-cost.
