Looking Up In The World. . . Handicapped Awareness Week Cathy Seufert, Public Health Nurse, used the wheelchair ramp at the Woodstock post office as part of Awn reness week with helper Eileen Hanson, director of Nursling for McHenry County Department of Health. ; In support of the Easter • Seal Society for McHenry bounty National Han- , dicapped Awareness week, the McHenry County Comprehensive Mental Health Service system held a con­ sciousness raising and awareness workshop for systems staff. Co-directors of the event, Sally Fyfe con­ sultation and education coordinator for Youth Service Bureau1, for McHenry County, and Jackie Manscholt, con­ sultation and education coordinator for family Service and Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County, atsked selected member:;' to spend half a day lin a wheelchair doing their daily routines as well as assigned tasks. Par­ ticipants were separated into teams consisting of one person in a wheelchair and one person as assistant. Participating teams were Jackie Hitter, physical therapist, and Charles Gavin, resident, both from Woodstock Residence; Jackie Manscholt and Robert Martins, executive director, both with Family Service and Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County; Carol Hunt, administrative assistant, McHenry County Mental Health board with Tom Engle, program director, Youth Service Bureau; and Eileen Hanson, director of Nursing, McHenry County Department of Health, with Cathy Seufert, public health nurse. The day began in the offices of the participants. Most of the offices were fairly inaccessible. Says Dennis Smith, "Things just aren't made for people in wheelchairs." Others reported that desks were impossible to get at, file drawers and pencil sharpeners were placed too high. A general feeling all had was ex­ pressed by Robert Martins, "I had to look up to talk to everyone; I felt small and it wasn't a good feeling". To allow the par­ ticipants an opportunity to experience daily life activities, assigned tasks included shopping trips. Tom Engle observed, "Even if a wheelchair could get into a store, most of the stores have barriers and that makes shopping difficult." Noted were shopping carts and displays left in centers of aisles, and items placed out of reach. Eileen Hanson, who assisted Cathy Seufert, expressed concern over crossing streets. Because most curbs are not depressed it is necessary for the wheelchair user to go along the sidewalk until a driveway is found, exit into the street, cross in mid-block, and wheel along the street until another driveway is found. "I would hate to think of a wheelchair user having to cross the streets alone," said Ms. Hansen. "People in cars were courteous and waited for us to cross, but most drivers don't expect to see a person in a wheelchair crossing the street." Another observation of awareness, participants revealed that people were considerate of the wheelchair users, but Cathy Seufert noted that when a man held the doors at the post office for her, he never looked directly at her. The assistants said that many shopkeepers spoke to them rather than to the person in the wheelchair. Participating staff members gained a greater insight and ap­ preciation of the acute difficulties involved in performing even the simplest tasks. They grew in appreciation and un­ derstanding of the han­ dicapped and realize how much knowledge, foresight and patience the handicapped must possess to live their daily lives. Judge Vacancy Told Acting Chief Judge Harry D. Strouse, Jr., of the 19th Judicial circuit announces that as a result of the elec­ tion of Associate Judge William D.
