PAGF 24 PI A'^OfcAlER WFDNFSDAY MAN 1 t 1977 D uli mots A Dream Becomes Reality For Area Senior Citizens Lakeland Park and Lakeland Shores Sharon Gacek 385-3777 Sue Warren 385-4668 Anne Moore 385-6448 After months of planning, hard work, and many prayers, the McHenry Senior Citizen Walk-In center is now a reality. The center, located in the Moose lodge building on Rt 120 east of the Fox river, opened Monday, May 2. One hundred and forty-seven persons visited the center on opening day. including several representatives from walk-in centers throughout the county. McHenry"Mayor Joseph Stanek was on hand, and it was the city's $4,500 allocation in revenue-sharing funds which allowed the center to open. Since funding from the McHenry Township board has not been forthcoming, the center will be open only three days a week. Hours are from noon until 4 p.m. on Monday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday. The center is available for all senior citizens who want to get out of their homes to visit, play cards, or just be in a friendly atmosphere. The senior citizens are planning on having numerous lecturers and instructors in the center, teaching various crafts and hobbies. An unnamed senior citizen explained that there is "a wealth of talent among us, and this center affords us the chance to share our experiences and knowledge with each other." Each day that the center is open there will be a host or hostess who will greet each visitor, and is responsible for the care and light maintenance of the Moose hall. Marilyn Hamilton and Ted Eltoft will alternate weeks as the center's official "greeter." Also on hand at the official opening was Marge Jones, who works for the McHenry County Senior Citizens society. All of the persons present Monday expressed the sentiment that Ms. Jones was responsible for the center coming into being. Besides the opening of the center, more good news came through the possibility of transportation being offered to and from the center for the senior citizens who need it The senior citizens are presently working with the First Baptist church of McHenry in hopes of utilizing the church bus for transportation. Routes and times for the bus service are still to be worked out, but with the possibility of transportation one of the major problems facing the walk-in center would be alleviated. Shown above with Mayor Joseph Stanek, are members of the Senior Citizens Walk-In Center committee which worked countless hours toward the concept of a walk-in center for McHenry area senior citizens.

She wore a beautiful pink and green flowered print dress that was given to her by her grandmother. Her brothers Jay and Bobby helped Antoinette open her many gifts. Toni was thrilled to play with her cousins Vanessa Puchalski, Michael, Tracy, and Matthew Gacek, Allison Gersch, and friends Kevin, Brian, and Suzi Moore. Neighborhood friends who dropped in later were Randi Tollifson, Allison Winkel, Jay Arthurs, and Debbi Rathmann. Other relatives who attended were Grandparents, Robert and Irene De Silva, Edmund and Dorothy Kurowski, God­ parents, Donna Desilva, Donald and Rita Gacek, Uncle Dennis Kurowski, Aunt and Uncle Mitsu and Robin Gersch, Great Aunts Virginia Mydlowski and Nora DeSilva, cousin Patricia Mydlowski, Ed and Anna Puchalski and good friends Steve and Anne Moon^ Great Aunt Nora also celebrated her birthday with Antoinette and the birthday song was sung twice for them. Dad and Mom, John and Sharon, were very happy when the day was over, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCHELL Rochell Krok celebrated her tenth birthday recently and we heard that everyone had a real good time. Mom and Dad, Elke and Tom, enjoyed watching the girls play balloon toss and hot potato and many other games. The girls who attended the party and enjoyed the Raggedy Ann cake were Sherry Stutz, Nanine Horyn, Amy Cepulis and of course, Rochell's sister, Natalie. Rochell was surprised at her many gifts and there were lots of ooh's and aah's with each gift. We are sure you had a happy day. Rochell, and a wonderful beginning to your tenth year. BOWLERS BANQUET A few Lakeland Park women attended the banquet given for the Kaffeeklatsch league bowlers. Each gal received a miniature bowling pin with her name and her high game marked on the pin. And then there was her record of her bowling scores of the year, and some of them were better forgotten forever. Area women who attended were Mary Lou Pautz, Maureen Johnson, Ceciela S e r r i t e l l a , M a r y Breckschneider, Barb Klein, Charlene Tiffany, Anne Moore and Sharon Gacek. It was a very enjoyable evening. PET FOUND A student at Parkland school was followed Friday by a cute puppy dog. The golden colored female puppy, who is ap­ proximately three months old, is staying as a temporary guest at the^ome of Bruce and Sue Warren on Bonner drive. Please telephone Sue if this is your pet. • BYTHEWAY... While we are on the subject of dogs, ever notice how our once quiet subdivision has become so noisy at night. Folks should try to keep their pets from barking to enable us all to get a good night's rest. CANDLE OCCASIONS Mara Beth Blum will have four candles on her special cake May 11 and May 12 will be special for Douglas Arthurs and Ruthann Sturm. Doug will also turn four years old. May 15 is Michael Johnson's birthday and May 16 is very special for Lyda Radisch and Italia Mazzoni. #••••••«•••••••••••••••••••••% ! V.A. NEWS i EDITOR'S NOTE: Following are representative questions answered daily by VA coun­ selors. Full information is available at any VA office. Q - I am attending school full time and receiving VA educational benefits that in­ clude an additional amount for my spouse and three children under age 18. I have a daughter, 19, attending college/ Am I entitled to additional benefits for this child? A - Additional educational benefits are payable for a child over age 18 while a veteran is in training half time or better, and the child remains in school and unmarried until age 23. A ~ My husband is a World War II veteran who added the total disability income rider to his National Service Life In­ surance policy. He has been totally disabled for about five years and has since received $100 each month. How will that affect the face value of his basic policy? A ~ It will have no effect. Benefits received under the disability rider will not decrease the face value of the NSLI policy. Q - Does confinement awaiting trial affect pension payments from the Veterans administration? A ~ No, neither does a con­ viction with a suspended sentence. Pension is only af­ fected after the 61st day of imprisonment following con­ viction. Consumer Tip Whenever a landlord who is required by written or verbal lease agreement to pay for water, electric, or gas service, neglects to do so, and a tenant is faced with service shutoff as a result, the tenant may pay the utility bill directly to the company and subtract this amount from the rent. The Illinois Commerce commission (ICC), which regulates public utilities in Illinois, recently reminded consumers of this provision of the state's Lan­ dlord and Tenant law. Utility customers can obtain more information about this provision from the ICC at 527 E. Capitol avenue, Springfield 62706.
