Present Concert At Church &rwm w PAGE 21 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2*. Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 THE POWELL FAMILY The Powell family, a gospel singing group from Champaign, will be presenting a concert at First Baptist church, 509 N. Front street, McHenry, Sunday afternoon, Oct. 2, at 2 p.m. "The First Baptist Church fellowship is happy to offer to McHenry citizens this opportunity to hear and enjoy good gospel singing by a group that has much talent and close harmony as a family group," observed C. Edw. Erb, Jr., chairman of Deacons. "I believe God has given the Powells something to say and the Spirit of God breathing into their songs and music is what makes the Powells great in presenting their songs in such a pleasant and dynamic way," Erb concluded. The group has recorded a number of albums and is booked well in advance. They all have full time jobs and use their weekends to share the Gospel in song. They are returning to McHenry by popular demand after presenting a concert at First Baptist church about a year ago. The public is invited to attend. There is no admission charge. Senior Hot Line (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. A friend of mine told me that Governor Thompson has signed some legislation recently to benefit senior citizens. What is that legislation? A. The governor has signed bills in a number of areas. He has signed legislation raising the benefit level of the state's circuit breaker tax relief program which will provide an increase of up to $150 more a year in circuit breaker payments to persons over age 65, or who are disabled with income of less than $10,000. The first increase will be paid in calendar year 1978, based upon r977*ta* bills. The legislation provides a one-year period in which those entitled to circuit breaker benefits may apply for them. In addition, the legislation will exempt circuit breaker income for eligibility determinations by the Illinois Department of Public Aid. Under the previous ad­ ministration, public aid caseworkers were instructed to count circuit breaker grants in determining eligibility for welfare payments. Since March, the policy has been reversed. Governor Thompson has also signed three other bills to assist seniors. House Bill No. 1191 is designed to rectify un­ scrupulous practices of some Medicare Supplement In­ surance agents. It requires insurance companies to change some of their policies and advertisements, with policy approval to be made by the Illinois Department of In­ surance. The legislation also sets minimum standards to be met before an accident and health insurance policy can be represented as a Medicare supplement. The second bill, House Bill No. 2183, changes the date for filing homestead property tax exemption claims from January 1 to May 1, which permits filing in warm weather, rather than in mid­ winter. The third bill, Senate Bill No. 231, designates the third Sunday in May of each year as Senior Citizens day in Illinois.

CCD Teachers Installed At Sunday Mass On Catechetical Sunday CCD teachers were installed at the 10 a.m. Mass at Christ the King church.

This two-year accreditation, which covers from 1977 to 1979, is the result of an on-site survey made by field representatives of the Joint commission's Hospital Accreditation program The commission's granting of accreditation demonstrates that McHenry Hospital operates according to standards set by the JCAH. The standards, published as the Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, set forth optimal achievable goals of excellence against which a facility can measure itself and be measured by the Joint com­ mission's survey. McHenry hospital is one of approximately 4,800 general hospitals in the United States that have earned either one- year-or two-year accreditation. There are about 7,150 hospitals in the nation The Joint commission's accreditation surveys are voluntary. It is not legally necessary for a hospital to be accredited, but health care facilities have sought ac­ creditation because ..it represents a benchmark of quality that is higher than governmental licensure alone. The chief aim of the ac­ creditation program is to help hospitals in their pursuit of excellence and thereby provide a higher quality of care to patients. The program also seeks to recognize, and to identify for the public, those facilities which^ meet its standards. The Joint commission be­ gan in 1918 under the auspices of the American College of Surgeons. It was incorporated in 1951 with the support of its p r e s e n t m e m b e r organizations: the American College of surgeons, the American College of Physicians, the American Hospital association, and the American Medical association. Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis 385-5067 Insurance Senate Bill 1102, recently signed by Governor James Thompson, outlaws the practice of insurance firms refusing to provide h o m e o w n e r s p r o t e c t i o n because of geographic location of the property (redlining). "I think," Thompson said, "it is clear that the. General assembly and I are both committed to continue working toward elimination of redlining wherever it exists." Sponsors of the legislation were Senators J o h n M e r l o , C h i c a g o , a n d James Rupp, Decatur. Referendum To Be Guest Speaker Topic There will be a guest speaker at the Oct. 5 meeting of the village board of trustees. The speaker will be^ a represen­ tative from School District 156 who will discuss the proposed referendum. This is certainly a worthwhile topic, and all those who attend will surely find the evening informative and enlightening. Mark your calendars now.
