DECEMBER 14. 1977 With the football season winding down and the bowl games highlighting the up­ coming holiday season, for many this means large household gatherings such as brunches, parties and get- togethers. Unfortunately, a victory celebration can end up as a court case. Beware of the dangers of house parties and the in­ dividual's liability of ex­ posures. If a guest is injured, a lawsuit may be instigated. If an owner of one of the nation's 65-70 million dogs and cats, it's not difficult to imagine a guest being bitten or scrat­ ched. To make matters worse, strong drinks have a way of convincing a guest that he is an animal's best friend or an acrobat capable of intricate stunts. The point is, if a guest is injured in the home and the homeowner found responsible, he may be required to make him "whole" again-that is, pay for his injuries, replace any lost income and sometimes even compensate him for his pain and suffering. The homeowners insurance policy -also available to per­ sons renting apartments- provides insurance protection for the home owner or tenant who is found legally liable for a person's injuries or damage to his property. In addition to paying damage awards up to the limits provided in a policy (usually $25,000), the policy provides the home owner's legal defense if he is sued. Also, the policy pays an injured person's medical bills, usually up to $500 or $1,000, regardless of who was at fault for the in­ jury. Above all, if one is a frequent partygiver, observe these rules: Lock up or restrain all pets before the party starts. Don't have to apologize saying, "He's usually a friendly dog" to a badly bitten ex-friend as he phones his lawyer. Always provide good food- and plenty of it--at a party. Alcohol on an empty stomach, or mixed with spicy appetizers is asking for trouble. A non-drinking bartender can be helpful. He can try to d i s c o u r a g e o v e r z e a l o u s drinkers or water down their drinks as the party wears along. Have a coffee pot ready to sober up friends who are driving home. Make the last part of an evening a dance contest, a card or word game-any form of entertainment which can lengthen the time between "one for the road" and the actual key in the ignition. After all, that's what the holiday season is for, to live! 65 Over 1976 What Just One Person Can Do Traffic Fatalities Up This lovely female Shepherd is 1ft years old.

BAird, has announced the latest figures which indicate that during the month of November, 1977, 148 persons died from injuries sustained from traffic accidents on Illinois highways. A breakdown of the counties shows that in November of last year, Lake county had eight fatalities ; McHenry county had none, DuPage county had eight; Kane county had six and DeKalb county had none. For November of this year, Lake county had ten fatalities; McHenry county had two; DuPage county had nine; Kane county had six and DeKalb county had none. One thousand nine hundred fifty-six persons have been killed in the entire state since Jan. 1 of this year. There were 1,891 persons killed during the same period last year, showing an increase of sixty-five over last year. District 2, which covers Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties, reports 303 persons have been killed in these counties since Jan. 1 of this year. There were 251 persons killed during the same period last year, showing an increase of fifty-two fatalities this year over last year's figure in the five county areas. The Illinois state police advises that since winter is here, drivers should have their cars tuned up, anti-freeze checked and make sure tires are good enough to travel on ice and snow. .

PHOTO BY ROBERTA CAUGER Speaking Of Disabled PtTCOLUMN BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY 12-7-12.14 Therapy (By Bill Kiser, of Winston- Salem, NC., and 1976 Han­ dicapped American of the Year). Many handicapped people today are asking, "When does the therapy end?" As a person with a very severe cerebral palsy involvement, different forms of therapy have been, and still are, an important part of my life. I've been through the gamut of physiotherapy, and occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and com­ prehensive rehabilitation. Each has given me some benefits. None has been a panacea. Many disabled people, especially the developmentally disabled, have compared therapy with education. Tlierapy was supposed to be a preparation for a better life. We often thought that when we completed our therapy we ; would begin to live like other people. This may be the case for some handicapped people, but for others of us it is a fallacy. Not only do we require therapy to accomplish any new goals, but it is often essential to maintain our present level of functioning. t As more severely han­ dicapped people attempt to find employment, live in­ dependently, and function with their communities, they are finding that the need for rehabilitation services never ceases. Fortunately, there seems to be a growing realization on the part of many professional and lay leaders that the severely handicapped need follow-up services if they are to reach and maintain their maximum potential. Many of us find ourselves in a Seat dilemma because of this. i the one hand we are forced to admit that we need many types of therapy and on the other hand we resent what could be called the " t h e r a p e u t i c " o u t l o o k / o f others. We often have difficulty dealing with the fact that when we need others to help us, it can create problems in establishing normal, healthy relationships. This is often apparent in family situations. If a handicapped person has been dependent on those around him for a long -period of time, it is difficult, if not impossible, for these people to see him as an eqpal human being. My own work with rehabilitation publications is very rewarding, but I do not know whether the people I am working with see me as patient or co-worker. The fact that I often need their professional help does nothing to ease this prcmem. I sometimes want to write about the sex life of the African ant in order to escape from the therapeutic context. It would be easy to blame this entire problem on the non- handicapped. This is not wholly justified. Recently when I sought professional advice on this very problem. I realized to my astonishment that by 12-14-12-16 seeking help I was reinforcing the very problem that I was trying to solve. In our attempts to improve ourselves and gain a greater independence, we sometimes find ourselves developing a greater depen­ dency on others. * *.•.. 4a If we who are handicapped * require certain forms of therapy, does this mean we are inferior? This is the crux of the dilemma. If our need for > therapy and other types of services does denote in­ feriority, we have little hope of gaining equal citizenship. It became evident during the recent White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals that disabled people do not feel that their need for special services should take away any of their rights as citizens. When society learns to value interdependence more than independence for everyone, the handicapped will have a far greater chance of a rewarding life. Today most people are dependent on their plumbers, TV repairmen, and auto mechanics-and think nothing of it. Barbers and beauticians provide necessary services without creating any stigma for their clients. Receiving or­ dinary medical care does not cast the average citizen in a dependent role. Why, then, should needing therapeutic assistance lower the image of a handicapped person? Handicapped people should not feel inferior for their need of continuing therapy and special services. JU such ser­ vices enable them to be productive individuals, their status and rights should not be impaired in any way. True, therapy may never end for many severely handicapped people. Neither will education end for many so-called normal people.. The same way that the dependency of the young child on a kindergarten teacher must come to an end as the student matures, so must the depen­ dency model of the therapeutic relationship come to an end. Such a model does more than degrade handicapped people. It also deprives those who work with-and for-them* of the satisfaction of helping fellow human beings achieve their full potential. J College Honors | COLLEGE WHO'S WHO Edmond Taveirne of Ingleside, a student of North Central college, has been selected for the 1977-78 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and College" which includes the country's most outstanding campus leaders. He is the of Mr. and Mrs. Fd«uyid Taveirne of 510 W. Big Hollow road, Ingleside. The Genius "Dad, it says here that a certain man was a financial genius. What does that mean?" "That he could earn money faster than his family could spend it." Control Project The Illinois Environmental Protection agency (IEPA) has applied to the federal EPA for a demonstration project to show effects of water pollution control measures on agricultural lands. Two Illinois sites are being considered by IEPA for the project: Lake Pittsfield in Pike county and Lake Paradise in Coles county. Both lakes are used for recreation and public water supplies, and receive runoff from agricultural land. The project would be managed by local Soil and Water Con­ servation districts. Farmers are encouraged to participate through a high percentage cost- sharing program. Details are available through the Illinois EPA, 2200 Churchill road, Springfield, 62706. Fred M. Rogers, Television Personality What can television do for the family? According to TV host Fred M. Rogers of "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood," it can "be an integrative force in the family rather than a divisive one," and he is doing his best to show how. Known for his straight talk and gentle manner, the TV veteran - also an ordained Presbyterian minister - has focused on the individual worth of each child; "On each program I always say, 'You've made this a special day just by your being you." W i t h 4 6 0 " N e i g h b o r h o o d " programs still running for pre­ schoolers, Mr. Rogers has done a series for handicapped children called "I am. I will." and another' series called "Let's Talk About..." which is aimed at providing help for the stressful times in family life. Still again, for older people, he has completed segments of what he hopes will be a new series called "Old Friends, New Friends,", in which the combined interests of young and old people will be explored. Always a critic of the medium in which he works, he says, "Children should learn that when we disagree with somebody we try to work it out • not shoot it out." Fred Rogers goes on to point out that the final responsibility rests with parents: "Parents buy a television set and put it in the middle of the living room like any other piece of furniture - like a table, a stove, a chiar. How are the children to know the parents don't condone everything on the set?" Parents continually write to Fred Rogers to ask him the best way to build positive attitudes and sound values in their children. His answer? "You live them/] Vegetable Care , Don't refrigerate eggplant, rutabagas, hard-rind squashes and sweet potatoes; they should be stored at 60 degrees. If these vegetables must be kept at room temperature, use them within a week. IT'S GIVE THEM THE BEST.
