Southside group successfully gets Metro back into Beechcrest

Rev. Rilda LaVelle, United Southside Community Organization (USCO) Commissioner and President of the Brookside Tenant Council, 1840 South Perkins, announced a successful conclusion to a month long effort to get Metro Route #3 back into Beechcrest Square shopping center located at the corner of Raymond and Sherman Streets. Rev. LaVelle explained that the bus service into the center was critical to Brookside residents, many of whom are elderly or handicapped. “Most of the residents," she said, “are on low income budgets, don’t have cars, and cannot afford to pay for rides to those who do. We need Metro service into Beechcrest Square.” The controversy began April 8, 1978, when Ernst/Eaton Associates the new management of Beechcrest Square ordered the buses out. Accordint to J.W. Ernst, Jr., president of the firm, repairing the damage to the parking lot caused by heavy truck and bus traffic cost the owners over $10,000 in the past two years.

(The owners are Beechcrest Properties, Inc., formed by three executive officers of AFNB). USCO had invited Ernst to a meeting of Brookside residents and neighbors to work out a solution to the problem, but he refused to attend the meeting. Another meeting Ernst set up with the group he postponed. Finally on May 12, Rev. LaVelle led a delegation of twenty Brookside residents to Ernst’s office at 5987 East 71st Street. In the meeting at Ernst’s office, Rev. LaVelle presented a petition signed by nearly 50 Metro riders seeking restoration of service into Beechcrest Squre. She also presented photographs of heavy grain trucks which were still travel ling and parking in the shopping center’s lots. After hearing the petitions of the residents and seeing the evidence, Ernst agreed to work out a new Metro path into Beechcrest. Dennis McCrossen, scheduling and route supervisor for the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corp., which runs Metro, agreed to place a

new shelter on the site as well. Service is scheduled to return Friday May 26. “Residents of Brookside Courts and other in our neighborhood look forward to getting Metro Service back into Beechcrest Square soon. If it hadn't been for the persistent concern of the neighborhood and the help of USCO we’d probably still be walking all the way down there to get our groceries. I want to thank all those involved.” said Rev. LaVelle.

Mayor William H. Hudnut last week announced major changes in the schedule of trash collection routes in the Indianapolis Solid Waste District. The Mayor said the changes will affect 80 percent of the 100,000 Solid Waste District customers serviced by Cityowned equipment. He said customers serviced by private contractors will not be affected. The Mayor said the solid waste district is being divided into five geographic areas and that each area will have its trash collected one day per week. Schedule changes will go into effect June 5th. All persons who will experience a schedule change will be notified by the Department of Public Works in the next two weeks. DPW employees will be distributing flyers to the homes of all 80,000 people who will be affeced explaining the

changes.

Mayor Hudnut said the City is changing its collection procedures in the hopes that the new schedule will provide more efficiency and better management of the collection operation. In the past, collection trucks have been scattered throughout the Solid Waste District. When a truck broke down, or there was some other difficulty, repairs were not easily made. Many times, the area that was supposed to be collected that particular day was not, because there were no other collection trucks in the

Ten depression danger signals released by Mental Health Assn.

WASHINGTONTen “Depression Danger Signals” has been released by the Mental Health Association in an effort to bring about a better understanding of the most common and perhaps oldest of mental disorders. The Association emphasizes that many of these signals can be predictable reactions to disappointments, loss or stress. It is only when they persist or are aggravated by one’s lack of ability to “bounce back” that the onset of depression should be considered. When that happens, one should seek professional help. Several of these symptoms are usually present. They are interconnected so that one feeling or mood may lead to another. The ten symptoms to be on the lookout for are: -A general feeling of hopelessness and despair that pervades all of one’s life. -An inability to concentrate, making reading, writing, and conversation difficult. Making decisions is particularly difficult, since the depressed person may be feeling very insecure and have paranoidlike reactions to other people and circumstances. -A change, usually a decrease, in physical activities, such as eating, sleeping and sexual activity. Early morning awakening is the most common sleep distrubance. -A loss of self-esteem which brings on continual questioning of one’s worth. Feelings of failure, whether real or imagined, can contribute to a loss of self-esteem. -Withdrawal from others to avoid possible rejection, even though there may be no basis for the fear. Withdrawal brings mi loneliness and reinforces the feeling of lack of worth. -Threats or attempts to commit suicide which are seen as a way out of a hostile environment and a belief that one’s life is hopeless and worthless. -Suspicious and very sensitive to words and actkms of others brought about by a

general lack of trust of others. -Misdirected anger, general irritability, and difficulty in handling most feelings. The perceived feelings of worthlessness produces general anger directed toward oneself. -Guilt feelings when a person assumes he is wrong or responsible for the unhappiness of others. --Extreme dependency on others, which brings on feelings of helplessness and then additional inner-directed anger. Depression is caused by a reaction to a change in one’s life. The reaction may manifest itself as a change in body chemistry and the connection to the life event may be obscure. Other times the depression may be obviously connected to a change in one’s life. The Mental Health Association is a nationwide, voluntary, non-prevention of mental illness and the improved care and treatment of the mentally ill. CHARLES R. EDWARDS Services for Charles R.

The Mayor noted that during the transition period there will probably be some confusion as citizens adjust to the new schedule. But he said once the program is underway, the benefits should become more obvious to everyone. Shortcuts to successful trash /garbage pick-up are: -All refuse must be placed, at the curb or alley line, in proper containers, by 7:00 a.m. on collection day. The pick-up limit, of bags, bundles and/or containers is ten per week, at each residence unless the Department of Public Works has authorized a deviation from this provision. -Metal or plastic containers may not be less than 5 gallons, nor larger than 30 gallon capacity. All reusuable containers should have adquate handles (The Sanitary District will not be responsible for breakage of plastic bags or containers.) -Plastic refuse bags of 3-mil thickness or heavier, and paper refuse bags, approved by the

Is U.S. educational system meeting full needs of youth

DENVER“The U.S. school system is under tremendous pressure to meet the social, emotional and educational needs of students," says Anne Mitchell, “and school personnel are under pressure to satisfy these needs in the face of such critical issues as mandated desegregation, aduevment of minimal competency and educational rights for handicapped children.” Mitchell, who is a school social worker with the Jefferson County Schools in Colorado, said, “These demands, coupled with the social disorganisation in this country that often places students in environments that foster discontent and violence, is taking its toll of our nation’s youth.

“Evidence of a continued high incidence of irregular and non-attendance, school failure, violence and vandalism and the failure of many students to achieve minimal competencies that enable them to function effectively and with economic independence, reflects grave deficiencies in our educational system,” she said. “Over the last decade, the role of school social workers has broadened to include not only the provision of direct services to students and their families, but advocacy for change in the educational system and the {Hanning of alternative solutions to problems,” Mitchell said.
