Page 9 - PLAINDEALER-HER ALD, FRIDAY. MARCH 15,1985 4 MOLLY MILLIGAN Your Home Decorator Court settlement won't hike county taxes Pats\ Milligan Synriicolr Dear Molly Milligan: We love our big old home, with its roomy bathroom aad its old-fashioned bathtub. The problem is that the tub is badly worn. Can the finish on our porcelain tub be repaired? ' Steve and Donna, Algonquin, IL Dear Steve & Donna: Your old tub isn't washed up yet. You can purchase a porcelain repair kit at your local hardware store. The oil paint in the kit can be tinted to match any color. But this is temporary and for minor repairs. If you want your tub to look like new again, have it refinished. Bathmasters* will refinish porcelain, china, baked enamel, tile, fiberglass or acrylic with a secret process that bonds a new finish to your original fixture. It shines like porcelain, won't yellow, resists stains and chips and there are over 1000 dazzling colors from which to choose. But the best thing about Bathmasters9 Process is that it costs less than one half the price of a new tub, installed. Dear Molly Milligan: Our kitchen has been remodeled and we replaced the metal cabinets with beautiful wooden ones. What can we do with the leftover metal cabinets? I Mac & Linda, Bangor, ME Dear Mac & Linda: Put those metal cabinets to good use by installing them in the garage to hold tools and lawn equipment. Or place them in the basement for additional storage in a work corner. If you are really short on closet space, use them in the laundry room, sewing room, or child's room. Paint to match the decor or go wild with bright colors and decals. Dear MoHy Milligan: I have rust stains in my bathroom sink. I know this is not a decorating problem, but can you help me? Gail, Elgin, IL Dear Gail: Sometimes lemon and salt will remove rust marks. Make it into a paste, apply, let stand for a few minutes, then rinse. If this doesn't work, there are several rust removers you can buy. I prefer Iron Out® because it can be used on many kinds of surfaces, even white fabric. As with any chemical, read and follow directions on package before using. Dear Molly Milligan: I have a squeak in my hardwood floor. How can I get rid of this annoyance? Bobby, St. Louis Dear Bobby: A carpenter friend of mine suggests that you rub a thin bar of soap in the noisy crack to quiet the squeak. Dear Molly Milligan: I set a hot pan on my Formica counter top and it left a burn ring. Can it be removed? Peg, Austin, TX Dear Peg: I don't think so. But you can strategically place a wooden cutting board over the burn. Or, stick a bath applique over the problem area and then artistically place a few more on the counter top to give a "decorated look." If you have a question for Your Home Decorator, send it along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Molly Milligan, P.O. Box 14, Dundee, IL 60118. Allow four weeks for a reply. Journals to publish articles by Youth Service staffers A $20 million settlement in a long-running dispute between counties and local government might mean higher taxes in some counties, an attorney in the case says. The settlement will have no effect on McHenry County taxes, however, because, since the dispute, the amount owed to local governments has been placed in an escrow account, according to county Treasurer Gary Verdung. A Sangamon County judge Monday ordered the first payments on the settlement, which represents interest that counties earned on taxes they collected for school districts, city governments and other taxing bodies. In May 1983, the state Supreme Court ruled that counties may not keep the in­ terest on local tax money. Last October, the high court said counties must repay interest they earned on local taxes since the date of the earlier ruling. Circuit Judge Simon Fried­ man told seven counties to pay local taxing bodies a total of $1.2 million. Orders affecting 91 other counties are expected within a few weeks, said Thomas Kelty, an attorney representing the local taxing bodies. Verdung said that McHenry County is waiting for the court order before paying the $701,000 it owes in interest payments. He said that the interest will be paid on monies collected from May 1983 through November 1984. "I see no problem with the court decision. We've been expecting it for a long time. I have complied with all the requirements and have sub­ mitted all detailed accounting to the Sangamon County Circuit Court," Verdung said. He explained that having to put the interest aside for these interest payments has no significant affect on the tax­ payers. "Frankly though, this has lowered our cash reserves, but the accounting is in excellent shape." Attorney Kenneth Boyle, who represented county govern­ ments in the case, said some counties, primarily in southern Illinois, would have to raise taxes to pay the settlement. "There will be a number of counties that will either have to levy a tax to come up with the money or issue bonds," Boyle said. "The taxpayer is going to pay more." • • However, he noted that the Supreme Court decision was considered a victory for tax­ payers. Local taxing bodies had argued that counties should repay interest retroactive to 1976, which would have cost the counties $170 million and resulted in more widespread tax increases, Boyle said. Kelty said some local taxing bodies might be able to cut taxes temporarily after receiving the interest payment, but said such abatements would depend on the fiscal situation of a given government unit. The Supreme Court rulings came in a lawsuit filed against DuPage County by the Wood Dale Library District. However, the payments ordered Monday stemmed from similar lawsuit filed against 98 other counties and consolidated in Sangamon County. Settlements in the DuPage County lawsuit and similar actions against Cook, Will and Lake counties have .been delayed while accountants determine how much interest the counties owe, Kelty said. Boyle said Cook County's set­ tlement alone could reach $35 million. DAR essay award winner to be honored at brunch Staff members of the McHenry County Youth Service Bureau will have their articles published in professional journals. Arnold Woodruff, clinical supervisor, and Tom Engle, associate director, will have their article "Systemic Thinking, and Agency Development w Using Circular Thinking to Turn the Corner" published in a forth­ coming edition of the "Journal of Strategic and Systemic Therapy." The article, part of a special edition of the quarterly journal, correlates the kinds of thinking processes involved in performing therapy using a strategic, problem solving approach with the kinds of problem solution needed to govern the day-to-day operation of a community-based agency. Maryann Smith, a counselor at YSB and the lead therapist in the agency's Runaway Treat­ ment Program, will have her article "In Search of the Healthv Family" published in the premiere edition of the research journal "Wellness Per­ spectives." The article, based on some of the work Smith did during her graduate work at Northern Illinois University, outlines the factors that characterize the healthy family attf bow the tectqrp relate to the overall wellness ̂ of Ml family members. Steve Hunter, Michele Weiner-Davis and Arnold Woodruff will become the editors of a column in the "Underground Railroad," a publication of the Brief Family Therapy Center of Milwaukee, WI. The column will solicit case examples describing successful treatment techniques using a strategic therapy model from therapists throughout the United States and several foreign countries. In addition, the lead article in the series will be a case example from the work of Hunter and Woodruff. The Kiswaukee Trail Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, has been notified by Mrs. James White, state chairman of the American History Month Committee, that Melissa Vayo, a student at Johnsburg Junior High School, has won first place on the seventh grade level for the State of Illinois, for her essay on the Statue of Liberty. Melissa, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Vayo of McHenry, won first place with her essay on the chapter level, competing with essayists from other schools in McHenry County. » Her essay then won first place in the division competition, against other essayists sponsored by DAR Chapters in northeastern Illinois. By becoming the first place winner in the competition among the five divisions in Illinois, Melissa's essay has now been submitted to the DAR National American History Month Chairman, where it will be in competition with the winning essays from the other states. The national winners will be announced in April at the DAR Continental Congress in Washington, D.C., where each will receive a gold medal and a check for $100. The local resident will be honored for her first place in the state at the Youth Awards Brunch on Sunday, March 17, at the Illinois State Conference, held at the Chicago O'Hara Marriott, where she will receive a certificate of award, an American History silver medal, and a cash prize.
