BURN OUT » "THERE IS NO MAGIC ANSWER" (Continued from page 1) have expectations about what you should be doing," Jadin noted. People experiencing this type of shock may become rigid and com­ pulsive - doing everything by the book, spending less time with the students, taking work home, and taking work- related classes at night. "That's the problem, but what do we do about it?" Jadin asked. The psychologist urged the teachers to realize that stress comes not only from "they" but also from "I." "If you just go for the external sources of stress, you'll miss the boat because about 60 percent of the stress is internal," Jadin said. He said that supervisors can both be causes and cures of stress. The supervisor can cause stress through messages and innuendos which suggest that the person cannot take the heat, or, the "I went through mine, you go through yours" attitude. The supervisor can also help the person deal with stress by adequately preparing them for the job. "Competent people have less stress, so train them for the job," Jadin said. "Prepare the new person for burn-out. There will be a day when you'll want to walk into the classroom, set fire to it, turn around and walk home." "Prepare to deal closely with others," he advised, "especially with troublesome kids and parents and prepare to support co-workers who are going through burn-out." There is an attitude that develops among co-workers that the employee who burns out is "less competent, less professional, less, less, less," Jadin said. This, he pointed out, only compounds the problems. Jadin suggested that the teachers develop an attitude of "detached concern." "I call it the 'light bulb' theory," Jadin said. 41A light bulb is very in­ volved in what we do, but it is still way up there, a little detached and ob­ jective." „ "Just appreciate the other person," Jadin added. "You don't have to like them or even agree with them. You don't have to be a friend, pal or buddy to every kid; if they could learn from friends, they wouldn't need you." Secondly, he said, know what burn­ out is and recognize it, predict it and deal with it. ¥ j A third suggestion concerned "genuineness." Jadin noted that people burn-out faster if they are wearing a physical or mental uniform that regulates and molds them. "To the extent possible, be yourself," Jadin said. "Do your job in your own inimitable style. If you're a clown, be a clown; if you're a grump, be a grump. You can hate each other, but work together." Lastly, and most important, he said, separate work from home. "Work is work and home is home and never the twain shall meet," Jadin said. "If you must take a briefcase home, leave it locked in the car." After work, he said, you should do something different, what Jadin referred to as a decompression routine. "I'm a motorcycle nut and by the time I ride 35 miles home on my Harley, work is way behind," Jadin said. "Gilligan's Island is great in the winter when I can't ride my motorcycle." "Whatever ritual works - running, cooking, etc. - use it," he suggested. He also advised finding a "social- professional support group" to help with the frustrations of the job. These people, he said, must do similar work, not be in competition with you, and should offer constructive criticism. "Gripe sessions are the worst thing you can do," he commented. The psychologist noted that there is a close relationship between physical and mental health and advised "going a little crazy" with physical exercise. "Do it until you're exhausted," he said. "Good violent physical exercise does the same thing for you that a vacation does. Learning to relax is perhaps the most important part of dealing with burn­ out, Jadin noted. "Relaxation is a skill that must be learned," he said. "It is the ability to do nothing without feeling guilty. Do something for the sake of doing it, not because others want you to." "Relaxation," he said, "requires practice. At least a half-hour each day."

Total rainfall for the month was 9.42 inches as compared with 5.3 inches for August 1980. Annual rainfall also is up about 2Vi inches. Recorded rainfall since Jan. 1 is 28.50 inches, compared to 26.26 inches from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31,1980. The additional rainfall has generated more mosquito'and flooding problems than usual, Valentine said, and he predicted the rain might cause a delay in harvesting the county's corn crop. Valentine said rainfall over the weekend amounted to .85 inches in the McHenry area and .40 inches in Woodstock. However, these totals are lower than the worst storms of the summer in June and in laid-August. A near record heavy rail 14 in the county, power outages, interrupt service and flash flc reported at 3.12 inches jf 2.8 inches in Woodst was topped, however,^ 14, when 3.5 inches fel Stan Jozwiak, manager of the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. office in Woodstock, said increased rainfall usually means increased problems in telephone ser­ vice due to wet cables. discovered that someone had taken the CB radio from her auto. james O'Grady, of 4115 East drive, Wonder Lake, called the police to repbrt the theft of a lawnmower and two chairs from his residence. Two chairs, a portable television and several bottles of liquor were taken from a summer home at 517 Mineral Springs, McHenry, belonging to Nor­ man Pestka, of Park Ridge. A thief stole a tape player, radio and tape player, two speakers, a clock radio, a grandmother clock, a toaster and six silver dollars from the home of Linda Vidovich, of 2820 Cherry drive, Wonder Lake.

Joke 11 feU Aug. scattered storm oodstock About 30 customers in 21 areas of the county were affected this weekend, he added, but tfie worst problems occurred during the mil-August storm. Due to that storm, about 1,200 telephone customers in the Burton's bridge area were without service for several hours when water seeped into an underground cable. Ron Russell, district manager for Commonwealth Edison Co., reported no interruptions to service this weekend and added the worst problems this year occurred during a storm in April. Russell said Com Ed services are more affected by lightning and high winds. Several thousand county residents were affected when tornado conditions swept through the area April 3. Service to some 9,000 customers was in­ terrupted for about 21 hours due to downed power wires. In incidents scattered throughout the county, wires were brought down by high winds and falling tree limbs. As August drew to a close, however, the news for county farmers was not so ba<jpT according to Brian Sager, agricultural adviser with the McHenry County Cooperative Extensive service. Sager said the condition of McHenry county farms is better than those at other farms around the state. Heavy rain fell in the early planting season and shortly thereafter, but did not leave TAX DEADLINE Taxpayers are reminded that the deadline for paying the second in­ stallment on real estate taxes is Friday, Sept. 4U after which there will be a penalty.

Sager added cool and damp con­ ditions did contribute to an increase in problems with the disease condition known as blight, but overall, he said the weather is not expected to cause "any real detriment" to the corn crop.
