MARCH 20,1985 administration Museum director to speak at Creative Living series EKE ihinT:ri>n BAUSCH &LOMB The idea of a $20,000 per-year superintendent to administer the county's $15,000 annual Bogardus (veterans) fund ap­ parently irks the chairman of a county board committee. Dick Meyers, chairman of the McHenry County Board's Legislative and Public Affairs Committee, met recently with officers of the newly-formed McHenry County Veterans Affairs Committee. According to Meyers, establishment of a VAC provides for the ap­ pointment of a superintendent at a fixed salary to run the day-to­ day operations of the com­ mission and to administer the Bogardus fund. In past years, the fund has been administered by the county, which appropriates $15,000 for the fund each year. Meyers noted that barely $8,000 of that fund is used in any one year. He indicated that, during a meeting in Woodstock last year, the groundwork for ad­ ministration of the Bogardus fund was laid. "I really believed that, at that meeting, we had put to rest any ideas about establishing a veterans commission, 'though a few members of area veterans groups were still promoting the idea," Meyers said. "I really feel the veterans groups pulled the carpet right out from under us when, a couple of months ago, they announced formation of the commission, without ever giving us the courtesy of their action to come," he added. He explained that, under current law, any two veterans posts in the county can get together and form a Veterans Affairs Commission. The commission then appoints a superintendent and any em­ ployees the superintendent thinks are necessary. These salaries are to be paid by the county board, which also must supply free office space and provide money for stationary and supplies. Ed Buckley of Woodstock, a member of the commission, indicated Wednesday that the Bogardus fund was a thing of the past.' "All veterans, especially the Vietnam veterans, will benefit from the commission," Buckley said. "By the time we get through with this Veterans Commission, I think we are going to be talking about a $300,000 to $500,000 operation," Meyers said. "Add health and accident insurance, plus other benefits, to this amount, and you're talking a big bundle of money," he said. Meyers said he would like to see the veterans groups dissolve the commission "and start over again in good faith, like they should have done in the first place. The idea of doing something like this behind our backs just doesn't set well," he said. • The committee chairman said he has asked the officers of the commission to present its operating budget to Us com­ mittee by June 12. Buckley is working on the preparation of that budget. Meyers said he hopes that, in the future, there will be con­ tinuous and open dialogue between his committee and the commission. "We sure don't need any more tricks or fast plays," Meyers said, adding that "All of us on the committee want to see that any veteran in need of help gets it. But we want the veteran to get the benefit, not a high- salaried superintendent... while the veteran gets what is left ... that's not right either 4 Hie bottom line is that we have a system that is working now, where the Bogardus funds are concerned. We really don't need a Veterans Affairs Com­ mission at this time... we should begin again, but with enough confidence and trust on both sides tbat we resolve any problems, if they exist, together on a cooperative basis," Meyet £. Leland Webber, chairman of the field Foundation of Illinois, will speak to the Woodstock Fine Arts Association Creative Living audience Thursday, March 21.
