Nelson said a man walking on a county road discovered the body sprawled in a creek bed. Nelson said the body was barefoot, clad in overalls and a light-colored blouse and had a bracelet on the left arm. Indianapolis Police Sgt. Joe E. St. John said the clothing on the body matched that described by friends who last saw Mrs. Wilson, the mother of two young children. Golden said the body was lying face down in about three inches of water. “It appeared it had been rolled or thrown down the ravine, judging from what appeared to be broken weeds,” said Golden.

Indiana State Farm Indiana State Farm inmate Gordon Eugene Cowin, 29, formerly of Edinburg, was recaptured in the Cloverdale school complex Monday morning after he escaped from the Putnamville facility Sunday morning. He was reported missing between 8-9 a.m. Sunday from a barn located south of the Farm complex, state police reported.

Napoli, 18, 32 Edgelea Drive, Greencastle. Napoli was eastbound on Seminary Street, delivering food for Delaney’s, police said. The driver said she looked down at the floorboard and the next thing she knew she had struck something. A GTE pole was not damaged, although some lines were down, police said.

Fair queen

senior years of high school. This fall, she hopes to attend Indiana University to major in education. ALTHOUGH HER participation in the Fair Queen contest is a first-ever event, Miss Bode has had experience as a child participating in beauty contests. While residing in Virginia, she was a member of the Virginia Twirlettes, a special dance group. Like the several other contestants vying for the title of Putnam County Fair Queen, Miss Bode feels it would be an honor to represent the area. “A lot of people look forward to the fair,” she began. “It’s just not for the people who put on the shows, but it is something that everyone can find something to go and see. It’s something that the 4-H kids work for all year and something they look forward to.” MISS BODE HAS had a taste of 4-H activities as a former member and takes special enjoyment in seeing the animals displayed at the fair. “I like the animals a lot,” the contestant said. “But for me, my favorite is the horses. I like horses an awful lot and have ridden them starting when I was two months old.” An employee of Long John Silver’s in Greencastle, she lists her hobbies as horseback riding, water skiing, swimming and golf.

Miss Bode feels the most important quality the Putnam County Fair Queen should possess is the ability to get along with people. And, she adds, to be familiar with the 4-H program. NOT ONLY WILL appearing in the Fair Queen contest be exciting in itself, but Miss Bode notes family and friends intend to make the event even more special. Her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Nichols, will arrive from Oklahoma to witness the pageant. Also her parents’ fellow Friendly Squares dancers plan to collectively show their support by appearing as a green-shirted cheering section for Miss Bode. In describing herself, Miss Bode said she is always aware of other people’s feelings. “I care a lot about what other people are doing, what they think and how their relationships with other people are going,” she points out. She carries that caring attitude one step further, using that as one theme for offering advice to persons younger than herself. “You have to be a friend to somebody else first,” Miss Bode explains. “IF YOU GIVE happiness to someone else, you will get that happiness back,” she adds “And no matter how difficult things may get, they do get better.”

Other persons may be eligible therefore contact the Putnam County Welfare Department for more information. Medicaid is a joint federal and state medical program administered by the County Department of Public Welfare for persons age 65 or over or permanently and totally disabled, or blind, with income and resources low enough to meet eligibility requirements. THE MAXIMUM MONTHLY allowable income for Senior Citizens living in their own home is $325 for a single person or S4BB for a couple as of January 1985. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is not counted toward these limits. For other sources of income, a total of $15.50 is not counted. A senior citizen with income exceeding $325 can be eligible if his/her medical expenses are very high. To satisfy this provision, called “spend down,” an applicant’s average monthly medical expenses must be greater than the amount that his/her income exceeds the income limit. The spend down is complicated, therefore it is advisable to contact the Putnam County Welfare Department for specific information. A Medicaid recipient can own his/her own home. The program places a preferred claim against the recipient’s estate only for the amount of benefits provided the person after age 65. This claim cannot be enforced if the property is

of $96 will be awarded to each teacher who completes all phases of the workshop. Over the summer, six workshops have been scheduled. Three will be offered at the CLC’s Terre Haute site and three will be offered in Bloomington. Summer workshop dates for the Terre Haute site began Monday and continue through Wednesday, with July 10-12 and Aug. also slated. Workshop dates for the Bloomington site are July 29-31, July 31, Aug. 1-2 and Aug. 7-9.

necessary for the support of the surviving spouse. This means that when the recipient dies, the Welfare Department will reclaim from the estate the money spend by Medicaid, but only if there is no surviving spouse. A SURVIVING SPOUSE who receives no Medicaid benefits can continue living in their home and the Welfare Department has no legal claim to the home when the recipient died. Under some circumstances a single person needing Medicaid nursing home benefits may be required at the time of application to agree to sell or rent his/her home. The resource limit allowed (savings, cash, etc.) is $1,500 for a single person or $2,250 for a couple. Life insurance with a face value of $1,400 or less is not counted as a resource. If the face value of all life insurance is greater than $1,400 it may count toward these resource limits. Indiana law allows a person to have funds set aside for burial purposes if the money is placed in a pre-paid irrevocable burial trust. Such funds in the irrevocable burial trust count toward the $1,400 life insurance limit. Medicaid will provide $350 for the funeral director and S4OO for cemetery ex penses for the burial of a recipient provided his/her family can’t raise more than $750 themselves. AN APPLICANT MUST not have transferred property (cash, land, etc.) so that his/her resources would be lower than the above limits. If you transfer property and you receive the fair market value of the property, you will not be penalized. If you do not receive fair market compensation, you will not be eligible for Medicaid if the property is valued at $12,000 or less and the transfer took place within the last 24 months before applying for Medicaid; or if the property is valued at $12,000 and the transfer took place within the previous five years. Exemption to these rules is sometimes made. Contact the Putnam County Welfare Department for details as the rules are very complicated. Senior citizens in nursing homes can have larger monthly incomes and still be eligible for Medicaid (income must always be less than allowable nursing home costs) due to their high medical expenses, as long as their resources do not exceed $1,500. A nursing home patient with no remaining Medicare or private insurance must use his/her own resources until these resources are less than $1,500. A Medicaid recipient in a nursing home is allowed to keep $28.50 of his/her income per month for personal expenses with the remainder of his/her income applied toward the cost of the nursing care. IF THE SPOUSE AT home has little or no income of his/her own and is financially dependent on the spouse in the nursing home, then the spouse at home is only allowed $325 per month, regardless of his/her actual living expenses. Medicaid will pay the cost of nursing care that is not covered by the recipient’s own income or resources, or that of his/her spouse. Medicaid is not limited to skilled care as is Medicare but will also cover intermediate care in a licensed nursing home. A person entering a nursing home will be asked to undergo a “pre-admission” process to determine whether he/she needs to be in a nursing home or remain living at home. A person refusing this preadmission process will not be eligible for Medicaid payment for nursing home costs for one year after entering the nursing home. There are fewer “gaps” in Medicaid coverage than in Medicare. Medicaid recipients should not be billed for charges that Medicaid will not pay. If need be, contact the Fhitnam County Welfare Department for details of how to apply for Medicaid and details of applicable procedures. IF THE SENIOR Center staff can be of assistance, phone 653-8606 or 653-3011.
