PAGE 14 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY PROBLEMS PLAGUE PRENATAL CARE COUNTY PROGRAM (Continued from pag* 1) (hey could get advice and assistance. She noted that Woodstock's School District 200 is also involved in their program. She would hope to hire this position a professional person knowledgeable in what is available in the ar&a. Mrs.y Richard (Tina) Gorski, representative of Birthright, said there was a need for such a program. She said her experience was that some doctors are willing to see girls referred to them by Birthright and accept reduced fees or perhaps a payment plan. Some doctors even donated their services on certain individual cases, but she acknowledged it is "a lot of hard work to locate doctors willing to par­ ticipate." Mrs. Gorski added later that Bir­ thright found no doctor in McHenry county willing to deliver * babies for them, and that they wouldn't accept reduced fees or other arrangements. This meant that in some cases births were accomplished when the mother walked in to the emergency room while in labor and a doctor was assigned to care for her. The mother apparently had no prenatal care and the doctor was completely unfamiliar with his patient. She noted that these doctors were usually interns or medical students from Chicago area hospitals. Ms. Hanson quoted statistics ac­ cumulated by the health department from birth certificates during the past year. She said 72 Jaabies were born to teens and 116 to single parents; and 85 had four or less visits to the doctor before delivery. This included 17 home deliveries. € Ms. Marsh displayed statistics she had acquired that indicated lack of prenatal care increased the possibility of death of the fetus by 10 times, and the chance of premature birth by three times. With premature births it cost an average of $5,000 to add each pound to bring the baby to a JANUARY 21,1983 viaDie state ot development in the intensive care units. Pesce said the hospital had decided to participate in the program because it could see the health department was not as equipped at its headquarters for such service as the hospital would be. He reaffirmed his belief that they would get doctor support. Lou Anne Majewski, assistant chairman of the County board, said the county was supportive of the program and hoped the health department would administer it if the grant is received. She added that the County could not aid in the doctor's insurance problem. Ms. Hanson said her department had not set a start-up date. "We can't hire any personnel until we know what we have in the grant," she com­ mented. The Reverend Hal Lemert of the Woodstock Presbyterian church said his concern with aiding young mothers is the loss of continuity in the wisdom of child rearing which in normal situations is passed down from mother to daughter with the support of the family. "With the estrangement from the family influence and the young mothers' lack of innate knowledge, where does the learning take place?" he asked. J EDC BOOSTS BUSINESS\ (Continued from page 1) 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27, in the courthouse board room. The program will include a showing of the new EDC videotape. "The Quality of Life in McHenry County." Presentations will be given on the Small Business Administration's 503 lending program and 7A loan guaranty program. Attorney G. William Hubbard II will explain the 503, who is eligible and how it works. Basically, the SBA underwrites up to 40 percent of a project, a local bank lends up to 50 percent, and the businessman con­ tributes 10 percent. To qualify, a loan must promise a beneficial impact on the community such as new job creation or job retention. It was through a 303 loan that Starline Products Inc. was purchased by new owners last September, thereby retaining 100 jobs in Harvard. The Greater Metropolitan Chicago Development Corp., certified by SBA, issued $>2 million to the buyers. EDC has already presented similar meetings before the Boone-McHenry County Bankers association and a gathering of savings and loan officers. All persons involved or interested in industrial development are invited Jan. 27. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' ' (Continued from page 1) taxing benefits of recipients who have certain incomes. An independent business organization has taken exception to higher taxes on self-employed workers. The postal workers union complains about having to join the system. Wouldn't vou think that any time you get President Reagan and House Speaker "Tip" O'Neill to agree on anything that the public would hop right on the band wagon? Well, they haven't, and if opening arguments against the all-or-nothing package are to be taken seriously, it's going to be a tug-of-war. We can't blame folks for having their doubts about our government leaders. But neither can we blame those leaders for wringing their hands in despair. Government handouts through the years have made us greedy. It isn't easy to give when we're in the hafeit of getting, and it is this that presents a problem with the Social Security proposal. But come on, folks, let's help the mending process in Washington. Wouldn't it be worth our support just to see the President and the House Speaker on the same side? This is an opportunty that may never be ours again. KAF Bomb Threat Made At Locab Business A local McHenry business, Eby- p-own, was the subject of a bomb threat called into the Elgin office Wednesday, Jan. 12. » McHenry police said they received word of the threat from the Elgin Police department that a bomb set in the McHenry business would go off in the late afternoon.
