Meet Dorothy Ogilvie (Lady On-The-Go) Tuesday, Sept. 19, was Dorothy Ogilvie day in McHenry -- if not officially, at least for the part she played in three separate/ activities. First of these was at McHenry hospital, where she officiated at the dedication of the hospital as a Local Trauma center, in­ corporating the modern facilities of the hospital as part of the state-wide network of thirty-seven centers that comprise the Illinois Trauma Care system. > Her second visit was to the McHenry County Association for the Retarded facilities at Pioneer center, McCullom Lake. Lastly, Mrs. Ogilvie, wife of Illinois' Governor Richard Ogilvie, was guest of honor at the McHenry Township Republican Women's club luncheon, held in Richmond. The services available at the McHenry County Association for the Retarded's two facilities move into the limelight, basking the glow surrounding a visit to Pioneer center by Mrs. Ogilvie, Tuesday. Mrs. Ogilvie has been interested in problems relating to the mentally handicapped for sometime, and during the past year she has visited almost 100 facilities for the retarded in Illinois. Louis Aiello, immediate past president, and Robert Lam­ bourn, executive director, gave her a report on the history of the organization and how services have expanded significantly since its founding in 1956. , t Lambourn said the organization received a major boost when county citizens passed a mental health tax referendum to help raise funds locally in behalf of the mentaUy and physically handicapped in 1967. The board emphasized vocational rehabilitation as a major need and launched this service to adults through the Pioneer center program. Today fifty-one are in this training, and Mrs. Ogilvie toured the facilities escorted by Paul Wong, workshop director. Among services instituted by the McHenry County Association for the Retarded are efforts to provide continual services for the handicapped, on a 24-hour basis if needed. Major step was the introduction in 1970 of a Day Care program for children, the severely profoundly handicapped, 3-16 years old, explained Lambourn. The board is expanding this service and today has nineteen children in the very young age range. Mrs. Ogilvie was familiar with the 0-3 year-old program Lambourn said the boapiUftstriving to develop. Staff members will work with medial people and move toward diagnosing children who are nof normal at birth. One purpose of this early diagnosis is to avoidrlassifying the child in his early years as a specific type of-hamdicap, said Lambourn. In her travels around the state Mrs. Ogilvie said the youngest she had heard any Day Care working with was two years of age. She] inquired whether Pioneer center was able to obtain enough work for the clients, and Wong said they had been able to keep (busy because of many understanding, cooperative businesses who have confidence in the ability of the people at Pioneer Center. "We could use more work, though," he observed. After her tour, Mrs. Ogilvie told staff and board members that this was the best facility for the retarded she has seen in her tour around Illinois. This high praise obviously lifted the spirits of those who have worked earnestly for so many years with the handicapped As Mrs. Ogilvie was prepared to depart, Sandra Shepard, one of the clients, presented Mrs. Ogilvie a natural bark plaque decorated with dried flowers and made by the people at the Pioneer center.
