& HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois*0014 •(815)4592641 Alcoholism Awareness This lovely, gentle, female, possible Toy Collie mix, does tricks, is obedient and loving, and needs a per­ manent home. Please call 385-9123. By Mary Nelson As the director of Helping aws I am most happy to announce to concerned readers that Thursday morning, May 1, Officer Swanson of the Lake in the Hills Police department came to my home and presented a document stating that the Lake in the Hills cat burner has been prosecuted by the state's attorney and was indeed convicted. Helping Paws is grfeteful to the Lake in the Hills police for being considerate enough to let HP know what happend and HP appreciates the state's attorney for the success of his efforts. HP's own personal ob­ servation and investigation leads to believe that the cat who was castrated was also a victim of this young man. Not having witnesses however, HP can only assume. The public is also to be commended for showing , concern by attending the February meeting. This concern proved that "just a cat" isn't an attitude that can be tolerated. A total of $637.89 was realized from the bazaar and bake sale. It may seem like a lot of money but it onlyjagftr for three weeks' expenses. Broken down like that, it is plain to see how difficult it is for HP to save for that much needed shelter. Carol Roth and Linda Hanson of Crystal Lake typed up name labels for HP's for thcoming newsletter. More are coming from Cary's Sue Royal and McHepry's Ellie Rusin. Out-going membership chairman Linda Bolisenga of Crystal Lake hied the position for four years and did a terrific job. The new membership chairman is Pat Partipil of Crystal Lake. She can be seen at local restaurants gathering up collection cans each week and faithfully bringing them to the treasurer who accepts them with glee. Many calls are coming into the office about rftother cats and kittens. It seems that there is an abundance this year, even though from last November through the end of March, there was nothing. HP heeds more foster homes. Call Patti Cane, chairman, for further information at 459-6523. The many folks who volunteered to help Helping Paws and were never called were not forgotten. It is simply because the right job may not have come up. Until HP's shelter dream is .realized, there is no direct work with animals other than foster homes. Helping in the office is almost impossible, for the work is so very complex it would take three months of constant, everyday 10 to 4 hours, to learn what it is all about.

ALCOHOLISM : ^ AWARENESS My first two articles dealt with the beliefs that to be happy or satisfied with yourself, you "must be accepted, liked, or even loved by most of the people in your life", or that "it is awful and terrible when people and events are not the way you would very much like them to be". In this article I would like to go into the belief that "I should be thoroughly competent , adequate and achieving in all possible respects if I am to consider myself wor­ thwhile." If you hold this belief you may be doing two,things: (l) you itiay rate yourself as worthless when you are not better than others, and (2) you may equate your worth as a person with the success of your performances. If you believe this, what frequently follows are feelings of anxiety. , depression and guilt. To cope with these feelings Inany people try to feel better through drinking, alcohol abuse, and sometimes even alcohol addiction. Rather than use alcohol as a way of coping with these feelings, what you might consider doing is examining closely your belief in the need for you to be perfect. Why must yon be as perfect as you,think you should.be? Who taught you your present high expectations of your­ self? Can you learn to accept yourself as never being more or less than a fallible human being who makes mistakes and is not perfect? This is not to mean that we should not do our best or have high standards to strive forr but rather to understand that frequently our goals become so important that we destroy ourselves trying to reach them. Not only do we destroy ourselves, but often our marriages, our children, friends, and anything else in our way. In these three articles I , have tried to show how certain irrational beliefs not only can lead to feelings such, as depression, anger, guilt and anxiety, but can also lead to a growing depen­ dence on alcohol as a way of coping with these feelings. By trying to change these beliefs in the direction of more acceptance of our­ selves and others with lew damandingness, hopefully, coping through alcohol use will be an alternative used less frequently than at present. If you are interested „in a speaker on alcohol and-or other drug use, please call 815-338-4750 and ask for Jackie Mansholt, If you or someone you know has a problem with drinking, please call the Mental Health Crisis Line for more information or help.

For its second special Sunday program of the season, the McHenry County Historical museum in Union plans something out of the ordinary. Sunday, May ll the museum will feature two malemutes who will go through obedience routines working as a brace. Their owner Lawrence E. Danner, a member of the Forest City Dog Training club and the Midwest Sled Dog club, will present Danner's Princess Chinook and Danner's Seago Queen, C.D. Recently both dogs were entered in pulling contests at the Chicago Kennel club one- day meet, where Princess pulled 1,500 pounds for 16 feet and Seago pulled 2,100 pounds for 10 feet. They also competed in the Midwest Sled Dog club two-day meet sponsored by the Rockford Park board. Here Seago pul led 1,500 pounds and Princess, 1,300. The dogs won trophies in both events. In the Chicago meet they were pulling for the first time indoors on mats. Danner will be working the dogs on the lawn outside the museum during museum hours 1:30 to 4:30 p'm. Parking is plentiful. The program promises to be enter ta ining, and Historical society volunteers will 'be on hand to guide vis i tors through the museum. Admission to the museum is free to members with cards.
