To expand .their services Turning Point's board •is proposing for the coming year to 'provide 800 days of crisis shelter to about 100 women in 20 "safe homes", .establish three women's support groups, two men's support groups and three children's support groups to meet weekly; provide a 24-hour family stress line (manned by 30 volunteers); provide advocacy * services with trained volunteers; a • 'Parents Anonymous weekly meeting; -continuing training for all volunteers; and an ongoing community education program about the Domestic Violence act for court and police personnel. Financial Counseling, operational since July 1,1982, aims to expand its * service to the mentally ill, develop- " mentally disabled, and substance abusers to aid in reducing their debts and tensions related to financial troubles. For this they are asking '$10,000 out of a total $40,528 budget. 'The service's other main sources of • funds are from United Way and fees ' from clients creditors. The presenters •conceded that their main problem is to obtain accreditation and insurance by the National Consumer Credit Counseling foundation, which would ^enable the service to increase its • revenue for debt management. The '708 board staff recommended con­ tinued mental health funding con­ tingent upon receipt of the ap­ propriate accreditation. The Prairie State Legal Services, Inc. (for providing non-criminal legal assistance to persons within certain income criteria) is asking for $8,417 for continued service to the disability population. The program was first funded by 708 during the 1982-83 fiscal year and has been most effective in helping disabled persons who were denied social security benefits due to a change in federal policy. The representatives noted that the program has demonstrated its cost effectiveness. They said one suc­ cessful appeal would save the costs of local funds expended to support a person who lost his disability income, and there were eight successful ap­ peals. The Prairie State fund, also by federal statute, must help fund local Bar pro bono (for the public good) programs and the McHenry Bar association receives $3,000 from Prairie State. To avoid conflict with the bar association, Prairie State is limiting its activities to landlord vs. tenant cases, financial appeals through Social Security and Public Aid and some domestic violence situations. The 708 staff recommended continued funding, noting that if the disabled population was not served, it could P and M board members found in their reviewing of local agencies' problems and concerns that fiscal uncertainty and inadequate funding topped the list for almost all of them. Pioneer Center (whose original and main mission is programs for the developmentally disabled) board members and officials noted that their organization was at capacity in some programs with waiting lists. They also face the decline of services in the face of increasing need. Pioneer Center people indicated satisfaction with their program management and relations with the 708 Board and pointed out their development of day treatment programs and groups homes for people displaced by the Elgin (hospital population reduction) project. Most needed, they indicated, are expansions of existing programs for the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill people involving residential facilities and day treat­ ment. Also among their unmet needs are adequate counseling and outreach programs. The future will require comprehensive drug and alcohol abuse treatment programs as other agencies also noted. One of their most serious problems is to develop a program to handle persons with a dual diagnosis of developmental disability and mental illness. New initiatives include improved case Coordination (with other agencies), a drop-in center (Family Focus), and an early intervention program to identify and help infants with developmental disabilities. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pog* 1) peers as leaders in their fields. There would be no lawyers; there wouldn't certainly be paper shufflers. And there would be no self-proclaimed public health experts whose published work consists of writing press releases quoting themselves. The idea behind the panel is to eliminate, as far as possible, much of the guesswork all of us face every day. Poor scientific data might make public policy decisions the subject of laughs, except that the topic isn't funny. How many remember the decision to ban, and then not to ban, sacc­ harin? The decision to ban, and then not to ban, nitrites? And there was the charge that America is in the midst of a cancer epidemic, while in fact rates are falling. There was also the decision by one government agency to ban for­ maldehyde home insulation because it might cause cancer, while another government agency says there is no evidence that is so. The list goes on and on, and we're all a part of it. Almost daily there are reports from one group or another about the dangers we face from the time the' alarm clock awakens us until we settle in for the night's sleep. In fact, they could well be responsible for some folks having to count sheep into the hundreds before entering the Land of Nod. Taking even some of the guesswork out of the tales we hear would tend to reduce hysteria. Some of us might prefer Mr. Spock to lead us through troubled times, but in his absence the proposed science panel might be a satisfactory substitute.

Irish Trace Roots June 9 People interested in tracing their roots back to Ireland won't want to miss hearing Brian Donovan, guest speaker for the McHenry County Geneological society, talking on "Irish Ancestry".

He also belongs to the Irish Genealogical Research society, and journeyed to Ireland in 1979 where he spent a month doing research.

Babysitter Admits She Saw Youth ' . , *' Ir • In Nlpperslnk SHAW MEDIA NCWS SCRVKX McHenry County Sheriff's police said a teen-age babysitter has ad­ mitted she saw her 5-year-old charge, Mathew Palya, for whom police and volunteers made extensive searches, go under the water of Nippersink creek last week. "It would have saved lis a lot of time and work if we'd known the facts earlier," said Chief Deputy Sheriff George Hendle. For tour days, hundreds of police and volunteers searched for James Mathew Palya, Spring Grove, through brush, woods, the countryside and water without results. His body was recovered from the creek Sun­ day. Hendle said no charges will be placed against the 16-year-old girl. "There's nothing criminal here," he said. The juvenile told police the youngster disappeared May 24 from the bank of the creek while she waded in the water. A helicopter, horses and search dogs were pressed into service, in addition to about 30 participating agencies, for an intensive search of a two-mile area near the boy's home. "It's unfortunate the girl did not pdmit at first that she saw the boy go under the water," Hendle said. He added that investigators discovered the facts when the juvenile girl was given a lie detector test. Hendle said the sheriffs depart­ ment investigation of the incident is closed. _________ JAIL REPORT Rosemary Azzaro, McHenry county clerk, announced that the Illinois Department of Corrections has completed its annual inspection report for the McHenry county jail and the results are available for public review in the office of the county clerk, Court House, Room 202, 2200 North Seminary avenue, Woodstock. ______ MEDICAL INFORMATION CARD If you're knocked unconscious in an accident, who will speak for you when you can't?
