PAGE 22 - PLAINDEALER FUNDING PLAGUES MENTAL HEALTH % (Continued from page I) • the extended TLF where some of the dischargees are housed pending their absorption into the community. The enrollment is now reaching 65, up • from the 40 formerly considered the capacity, Campbell noted. He added that an expanded day treatment program would provide I structural support fo r the clients on an outpatient basis, perhaps by being open evenings. They would need three more personnel, Campbell said; a psychiatric R.N. and two more staff ' people. Smith said there might be some funds from lapsed proposals or unused from the Elgin project, but there was still the problem of ongoing funding. ' Smith went on to discuss the impact of serving the chronically mental ill, which in mental health jargon are characterized as long term con­ sumers. He reminded the board that these do not make up the only population being served in the county; other persons had various neuroses that could be just as painful. Smith warned of a potential cutback in funding at the state level, up to 8 percent. But, he continued, they should try to preserve essential programs for the county. Most of the agencies are claiming they need more funding, he said. With the prospect of reduced resources, they should look to preserve the best of what they have. Smith noted that the P & M board *had looked at the TLF and the workshops and reminded them that the clients needed a place to work and activities. But, he pointed out, clients leaving the hospital environment must have their basic need? met first; a place to sleep and live and food and clothing. Smith observed that at the state level they are beginning to see that placing people from hospitals in the community is an expensive program that seems to be serving fewer people using morl dollars. Smith added that McHenry county seems to be the only area where tnental health people are succeeding in meeting the needs of the displaced people in the Elgin project through housing and measures such as the expanded day treatment program. -And there is an implied threat to cancel the Elgin project if the local communities do not make it work. Smith said this probably means selective cuts in the program, but the state could dump the whole project. The state Bureau of the Budget sees only the figures resulting from the project, according to Smith, and it looks like costs per patient in the community situation are increasing perhaps up to 10 times in the other areas of the state where programs are not in place. In the end, Smith con- eluded, it comes down to politics. "We WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 15, 1982 need the support of legislators to succeed." Jan Marsh, chairman of the P & M board, pointed out that the board as a group does not know what funds might be available for the special requests and this could affect their recom­ mendations to the Mental Health (708) board which acts on the requests. , Could the staff furnish this in­ formation? Smith said the staff usually didn't know either, but the final decision was for the 708 board. He said that available funding came from various sources and at different times through the year and could not always be predicted. DEDICATE GATES AT DAM (Continued from page 1) ¥r pick up the association's tab. But an estimated $1,200 iriiegal fees s p e n t s e t t l i n g t h e ; d i s t r i c t question must be *«tten by the association, according to WliMPOA President Ed Beard, \ Indian Ridge and Highland Shores subdivision sued... the master association in August. The suit alledged that a vote held on Dec. 13, 1981, was invalid. The final tally read 40-37 against forming a park district to help fund repairs on the Wonder Lake dam. Although the suit was dismissed, in September Andy Mizurkiewicz, president of Lookout Point, suggested a committee be formed to verify the tapes. Association Secretary Craig Pfannkuchesaid the record showed 71 available votes at the beginning of the meeting, not the 77 recorded. Second Vice President John Gallo and Mizurkiewicz investigated and reported that the tapes prove there were only 71 votes, 52 delegates and 19 proxies. Regardless, the measure was still defeated, 36-35. "It was an honest mistake on the roll call," Gallo said. "It was not something strange to the park district vote." He and Mizurkiewicz requested better organization and cooler heads to avoid the problem in the future. "It would be good for all of us to try to be a little more professional at these meetings," Gallo said. PRESENT CITY BYPASS PLANS (Continued from pago 1) Singing Santa Santa Claus raises his baton to direct a group of children in a Christmas carol after his arrival in the Pearl street park Saturday. He is surrounded by just a small segment of the crowed that gathered to extend greetings to the popular Santa on his entrance to the city to officially open the holiday season. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Santa will oj^ce again take time out of his busy^clfiedule to visit McHenry, when he parades through town Saturday, Dfec. 18. At 12:30 p.m. he will take off from the Market Place and travel down Route 120 to Crystal Lake road, then east on Main street, north on Green, over to Riverside drive, and up to Pearl, where he will end his journey at his holiday hut in Pearl street park. Mrs. Santa will accompany the jolly old saint, and children can visit with them until 3 p.m. The big, red-suited man will be led by reindeers named Gary Snell, Randy Meyer, Jim Steinbach, and Don Freund. The popular skate exchange will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. again, giving residents an opportunity to trade in winter sports gear for dif­ ferent sizes or items. At 3, Santa will draw the winning names for gift certificates from the Gold Rush cards that have been compiled through local businesses, and then will take his sleigh and head for city hall. Fran Olsen, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, noted the overwhelming public response to the Toys for Tots campaign that brought a total of three truckloads of toys this Christmas. She added that if anyone knows of families in need of these items for Christmas, the £hajfnt office should be contacted portunities, siderations. and (4) Other con- The first point covered relieving congestion, providing access to the hospital, improving east-west travel to and from Woodstock and en­ couraging economic development. The third point covered concern for socio-economic-political obstacles such as homes, businesses, gravel parks, churches and schools. "We don't want to have to knock down or isolate these existing properties," he said. "I can't possibly talk about building a roadway without addressing the environmental effects - (minimizing) air pollution and noise," he continued. He indicated that another meeting would take place in several months when a "collection of routes deemed feasible" would be presented.

The house is cheery but not overdone; the food is gourmet, but you didn't forget the traditional favorites; your husband has promised to take just enough of the cocktail to be pleasant to the most obnoxious guest, but not enough to become inebriated. Everything is just perfect - except for one thing. No one remembered to order good weather and the flakes arrive at such a furious pace that only your closest neighbors can make it from there to here. Only Murphy wQuld understand your disappointment. He's been in the same predicament more than once. Now just one more law which is most applicable to young children and new fathers at Christmas time. It is Murphy's Fifteenth Law which states: If you tinker with anything long enough, it will break. Enough said when Dad has his turn at the electric train or the new video game. Possibly more than anyone else, Dads have a way of fixing things only to be joined by Junior in seeing them fall apart. If nothing changes, this will be the same wonderful, predictable Christmas as all that have gone before.
