Year of the Dragon Daily 2.4:30,7.9:30 Veterans can receive scholarship The McHenry county College Fi­ nancial Aid Office recently received notice that the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs has changed the eligibility requirements for the Illinois Veterans' Scholarship. The need for a veteran to have at least one day of active service prior to May 7,1975 has been deleted and reimbursement of some fees re­ stored. Basically SB230 returns eli­ gibility requirements for the schol­ arship to the original criteria. Governor James Thompson signed the bill on August 11,1965. It took effect immediately. It is not retroactive. • * , W<tettfls fa Veter­ ans' Scholarships or to apply for the scholarship, cortact one of the Illi­ nois Department of Veterans' Af­ fairs Field Offices.

The appointment was announced recently by Janis Gomien, execu­ tive director of the Illinois Alcohol­ ism Counselor Certification Board (IACCB). Gomien said the IACCB believes "the profession of addic­ tions counseling, like other profes­ sions, needs to address the issue of the impaired professional and should establish an assistance program." The new board met for the first time recently and is being incorpo­ rated as a separate not-for-profit corporation. Kajdan, an' alcoholism program director for 10 years, is certified at the senior level as an alcoholism counselor. He has been director of the First Step Center at Memorial Hospital since he helped organize the program 13 months ago. "Alcoholism is a disease that is only arrested-a person is not cured," he said. "I agree there is a need for this new counselor assis­ tance program. There is a higher rate of alcoholism and emotional problems among professional alco­ holism counselors than the general population. This new board will pro­ vide a confidential service to the community to help the impaired professional alcoholism counselor. If a counselor has a problem, he can't function effectively in his job." The program announced by Go­ mien is the first of its kind in the United States, Kajdan believes.! Funding will be provided by dona-' tions from private foundations and corporations. Memorial Hospital is working with companies to establish an ef-. fective employee assistance pro-' gram regarding problems related to alcoholism and drug abuse. "This is an increasingly larger area of assistance provided by the! hospital," Kajdan pointed out.: "Persons wishing further informa­ tion are invited to call Memorial" Hospital-338-2500." First aid class slated A two-session first aid class is scheduled for 6-10 p.m. Sept. 3 and 5 at Saint Joseph Hospital, 77 N. Air- lite St., in Elgin. The class will inlcude basic first aid for any emergency -- minor or major.

Real- 'feing this long-term trend, the Gov­ ernor has made a firm commitment 'to providing in-home services -- services which in many cases re­ duce the cost of health care and "allow seniors to live in the comfort "iflnd dignity of their own home. Of the department's $150 million FY86 budget, more than $97 million :will be spent this year on in-home Services. This represents a nearly -60-percent increase over similar Services in last year's budget. Moreover, the Aging Department's Aotal budget is increasing by more than 40 percent this year, including a 64-percent increase in general revalue funds. The department's Community Care Program provides numerous services to the elderly, including housekeeping, homemaker and adult day care services. With the increased funding, the department will be able to expand its current caseload of 22,000 clients to more than 30,000 by the end of FY86. Also included in the budget is $400,000 for the purchase of mobile equipment and transportation funds needed by Area Agencies on Aging to deliver meals to shut-in seniors. Nearly 9,000 in-home meals are de­ livered daily under this federal pro­ gram, which is funded under the Older Americans Act. An additional 22,000 meals are delivered to group sites each day. More than 30,000 seniors receive daily meals each year, and over 400,000 participate in other commu- nity-based services provided through the department. All told, the department should receive about $42 million in federal funds this year, nearly the same amount received in Fiscal 1965. This money will be spend for nutritional programs and for community social services -- such as transportation, recreation, legal services and counseling. Part of the state budget will be used to provide support programs for victims of Alzheimer's Disease, an incurable brain disorder that re­ sults in memory loss and personal­ ity changes. Victims will be served through adult day care and respite care, and more family support groups will be formed. There are more than 50 adult day care centers in Illinois. These cen­ ters -- which will receive $3.3 mil­ lion under the FY86 budget -- pro­ vide many seniors with their only opportunity for regular social inter­ action. By providing transportation to and from adult day care centers, the department is filling an impor­ tant need in the day-to-day lives of hundreds of seniors. Assessing the needs of senior citi­ zens is not an easy task. To this end the state operates 61 Case Coordina­ tion Units, which evaluate on an individual basis the needs of se­ niors, and attempt to provide the necessary services -- services which are often supplied by one of 160 private vendors in the state. All persons young and old feel the need to lead a productive life. Se­ niors are particulary susceptible to feelings of low self-worth. In an attempt to provide a productive and stable environment, the DoA has earmarked $500,000 to a variety of programs, including the Senior Em­ ployment Specialist Program, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program and the Foster Grandparents Program. The Department of Aging was created in 1973 for the purpose of improving the quality of life for Illinois' elderly citizens. The depart­ ment's budget has grown dramati­ cally in recent years, reflecting the increased older population. Heartland Back to school Dear Molly Milligan: I am a total sweater buff. Not only do I knit sweaters but I collect them as well. This fall I will be a freshman at the state university where my best friend and I will share a small dorm room with tiny closets. Where can I safely store my prized possessions with such limited space? Peggie Carpentersville, IL Dear Peggie: Garbage cans painted bright colors (yellow, blue) are great for storing bulky items. Use one for storing your sweaters and the other as a clothes hamper. Here's another scoop, and it's practically free. Pyramid several 3-gallon ice cream con­ tainers (the 31 flavors kind). All you do is place two bricks on the , .flwr to the $tyd cartoRfc&om rolling, then stack as maqy com > tainers as you'll ngep. Cover the inside and outside with Contact paper or leftover wallpaper. Roll sweaters, cords, sweats, towels and tuck into the canisters. Dear Molly Milligan: My son will be a freshman in college in September. At home he never picked up his room. I would Just shut his bedroom door and walk away. Now he'll be on his own. What can I do to encourge him to at least make his bed? Ellen Austin, TX Dear Ellen: It only takes ten seconds to throw a big poufy quilt over unmade sheets and a quilt won't wrinkle when lounged upon. Another solution is to sew a zipper around a quilt and turn it into a bed top sleeping bag. Easy to sew, easy to make in the morning, easy to roll up and stash in the closet or under the bed. That's about all a mother can do. At school he must make it on his own. Dear Molly Milligan: Our four-year-old daughter starts nursery school this fall. We both work, so we want her to be as independent as possible and that includes dressing herself for school. The top drawers of her chest are difficult for her to reach. What simple provisions can we make so she can dress herself? Linda and Tracy St. Louis Dear Linda and Tracy: You can lay your daughter's clothes out the night before school. This will save changing her closet and drawers around. Or you can hang a clothes bar low in her closet which she can easily reach. Rearrange her drawers so everyday items such as socks, blouses, slacks underwear are in the bottom drawers, with the clothes that are worn less often stored in the top drawers. Coordinated outfits should be folded or hung together so she can select a complete outfit. Adjustable shelves placed low to the ground is another way to store folded items. As she grows you can raise the closet bar, change the drawers and adjust the shelves.
