gyaeneral^^™ News Health board balks at requested budget cuts By Kirk Birginal Jirgin Shaw Free Press News Service The McHenry Couqty Mental Health Board has. refused to go along with the count board's request to make additional budget cuts, saying its proposed spending plan was the soundest in years. According to Lou Anne Majewski, the county board representative for the mental health board, the county board told her to ask mental health boad members to trim the county, tax-funded portion of their projected $1.3 million budget an additional 60 percent without starting World War m." ; \ The mentalNhealth board unanimously rejected that request based on the fact that the ' 84 budget will not increase next year's tax levy. The total mental health lew tor 1984 is to be about $1.32 million, according to the board's tentative budget request. I see nothing wrong with our ijudget as long as we don't raise Saturday recycling site is only a temporary location Saturday, Oct. 15, the McHenry County Defenders will conduct their regular recycling drive at its temporary location - the parking lot of McHenry Community High School West Campus, 4724 West Crystal Lake Road, McHenry. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Defenders and the Lincoln Cloverleafs 4-H Club of Johnsburg will be on hand to help unload cars, sort glass, load trucks, crush cans, and, generally make the drive go smoothly. v Both clubs urge readers to bring their recyclables to the drive, the sale of which helps them finance their activities. Items which will help them include: newspapers with no magazines or junk mail included, glass containers with all metal and plastic removed, "tin" cans which have been flattened, used motor oil, brown paper bags and cardboard tied into manageable bundles, and alumiftum scrap of all kinds. In addition, the Defenders will pay for 100 percent aluminum cans - 28 cents per pound if the cans are crushed and clean, with a bonus of 2 cents per pound for lots of more than 100 pounds. A new and permanent location for recycling drives has been selected. Beginning November 5, recycling will be held in the parking lot between the McHenry Plaindealer (3812 West Elm Street, McHenry) and the old Jewel-Osco store (not to be confused with the new Jewel store). the levy," board member Paul Fidler of Mchenry said. Additionally, Dennis Smith, itive director of the mental 1th agency, said the spending jroposal was "the soundest let" he had seen in at least eight years. He i "" " PRIME RETAIL LOCATION JOIN JEWEL/OSCO 8 WAGS McHENRY SHOPPING CENTER (RTE. 120 & INDUSTRIAL DRIVE)' SPACES LEFT! CALL (312)420-8512 full commission paid said that the funds for the Pioneer Center and the Family Services and Community Mental Health Center, which together account for 67.2 percent of the proposed budget "have not gotten such small increases in eight or nine years." If we cut them, they'll have less than last year," Smith said. "Last year we were asked to cut the budget and we felt like we could and we did. I'm afraid this might set some kind of precedent" The additional money in the tentative mental health budget this year has come from a new program called Turning Point, which deals with drug abuse, Smith said. This program, he said, has been targeted by the county board as a high priority and is scheduled at this point to receive approximately $30,000. Board member Dirk Vocthorn said that requests by agencies funded by the 708 board have already been cut by $250,000 and that administrative expenses have been reduced about $10,000, or 8.5. percent. In other matters, the board agreed to recommend to the Health Systems Agency for Kane, Lake and McHenry counties that Memorial Hospital in Woodstock be allowed to set up an alcohol-detoxification center. McHenry County currently has no detox center and patients requiring these facilities are sent to hospitals in Waukegan, Voetberg said. The recommendation came from a committee appointed last month to review requests for the board's endorsement. Those submitting requests in addition to Memorial were McHenry Hospital, LovelftOn in H3gin and a private venture in Woodstock by an area physician. The mental health board's recommendation is used by the Cary-based HSA to make its e recommendation to state officiuls, who are responsible for the final approval. Memorial Hospital was given the nod because it has the physical facilities already and it suDmitted a certificate of need to HSA for an alcohol-detox center. According to Fidler, chairman of the review committee, Memorial would charge about $170 a day per patient, although the figure does not include various ancillary costs. The hospital is planning on using 10 beds for the first year of the center's operation, transferring 10 beds a year thereafter, Fidler said. He said that surveys have shown that free-standing detox centers are generally less costly than hospital centers in the long run. But a free-standing operation proposed as a private facility by a physician may not be set up for a long time yet, he added. In addition, Memorial has said it will take patients on a need basis not on an ability to pay basis, which the physician did not agree to, Fidler said. ALUMINUM CANS !! LAST MINUTE PRICE INCREASE!

According to Elliott, "It struck out of the blue. I was having a permanent when I was overcome by a horrible headache. When I awoke, I was in th£ hospital asking questions and talking to people...but no one could understand me." Lewandowski, 3Vi, the son of Dianne and Martin Lewandowski, became a patient in Easter Seals' Child Development program when he was only a few months old. According to Mrs. Lewandowski, "in the beginning, we knew Kenny had problems, but it wasn't until a lew months later that Cerebral Palsy was definitely diagnosed."
