By Kirk Blrginal Plaindealer-Herald News Service Members of the McHenry County Senior Citizens Council want to increase the op­ portunities for the elderly to participate in activities of various senior citizens groups countywide. The effort to present seniors with a wider array of activites and information is part of a large scale reorganization aimed at broadening the ser­ vices available to local senior citizens, senior council Executive Director John Yerly, a Crystal Lake City Councilman, said last week. To help the elderly take ad­ vantage of activities of seniors' groups throughout the county, Yerly said "in the spirit of harmony," he wants to improve communications between the various groups. Yerly's goal is for the county organization to take on the role of an "information transfer agency." He views the council serving as a clearinghouse through which local clubs and other formalized groups in­ volving the elderly can share and promote their offerings with others. "We're trying to become an information arm," he said, tying seniors into what is going on countywide. Yerly took over as interim director of the county seniors council last February and was appointed permanent director in July. The council had suffered a series of setbacks, including a $50,000 cutback in federal grant funding, that forced some changes in its operations. The council had to move from its headquarters on Illinois Street in Crystal Lake to the Crystal Lake Plaza on U.S. 14. Yerly said the council is sound financially, due in part to the efforts of the council's previous director, Crystal Lake businessman Dan Malone. In addition to becoming a storehouse of information for local groups to tap, the agency is planning to broaden its social service -functions, Yerly said. Seniors may be unaware they qualify for various income tax incentives and other benefits under state and federal urograms for the elderly, he said. Yerly's third goal under a tentative reorganization plan is to extend the time elderly people can remain in their homes. To do this, the elderly must have the ability to travel and provide their own meals, Yerly said. To implement this goal, the council is continuing its tran­ sportation Service with two mini-vans. Yerly said the ser- adjunct to the Transportation paratransit bus vice is an Regional Authority's service. Seniors travelling across municipal or township borders in McHenry County are in­ convenienced when they have to transfer from one local Dial-A- Ride system to another, Yerly said. Moreover, he said, the council's transportation and other services tend to be more sensitive to the needs of seniors. DlV'f DAS ION,-.;.
