Cardinal Center receives grant

Jean Merritt, state director of Indiana Rehabilitation Services, announced that Cardinal Center has been awarded a grant in the amount of $21,250 for the development of a supported employment program effective January 1 through December 31, 1987. The supported employment program involves highly-structured job placement, individual job site training after placement, and systematic methods for assuring job retention. The grant stipulates that a minimum of 12 clients with severe disabilities be placed in supported employment; that they receive commensurate pay for meaningful work and work at least 20 hours per week. “Every member of ademocratic society has an inherent right to the opportunity to become self-sufficient and to contribute to society,” said Merritt. “Indiana Rehabilitation Services is pleased to announce the commitment of grant monies for the supported employment effort. Toward this end, we have award-

ed grants to 26 rehabilitation facilities in Indiana. These grants have been awarded to provide the special services necessary to assure that persons with disabilities are offered opportunities to equal those awarded to non-disabled persons.” Nine of these grants were funded jointly by Indiana Rehabilitation Services, the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Education and the Indiana Office of Occupational Development to serve persons with developmental disabilities. Supported employment is designed to serve those persons who, by the nature of their vocational handicap, require the availability of intense and ongoing job-related training services, advocacy on their behalf with employers and co-workers to facilitate integration into the work force, and follow-up while employed. In addition to requiring placement of at least 12 clients with severe disabilities, rehabilitation facilities are required to develop

a program of public education and public relations. To accomplish this, they will work closely with existing support groups for persons with disabilities and representatives from the business community, or develop these groups if they are not present. These groups are to be actively involved in all aspects of plan development. Further, rehabilitation facilities will develop a plan to

deal with barriers to successful placement; develop cooperative agreements with all community agencies involved with persons with disabilities; and develop a plan for a long-term follow-up of clients. In awarding the grants, Merritt said, “It is our hope that these funds will make an effective and lasting change on the service delivery system.”

Pelikan has assisted people in various health related fields since high school — handicapped children, health care agencies and as an EMT — bringing Kenney over eight years of experience. She received her certification as an active director from Indiana Vocational Technical College. She is enthusiastically working on activities for seniors and feels she has much to offer in this area.

Glue a small poinsettia or holly sprig on the very top of the lid. Bread treats are always special. Save the moist, quick breads for the gifts that will be mailed. Since yeast breads lose their freshness sooner, use these for closer neighbors. In mailing cookies, the moist ones such as bar cookies, fruitfdied chews, or thick squares stay fresher longer than the thin sugar cookies. If mailing them far, wrap each cookie separately or back to back in pairs.

Darned preachers, the worst

By J. ROSS RICHEY Guest Writer

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Rev. Richey is a retired blind minister. He was pastor at St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church, Syracuse, and United Methodist Church at Leesburg before moving to Elkhart.) In the late 60s or early 70s. the R.R.R.R.R.R.R. canoe trip was still being led on the Tippecanoe River. We had been at this a very short time and felt quite successful to have attracted our largest group ever — 16 of us — ministers and laymen. As has been true in each of our annual trips, the campfire fellowship has drawn a lot of praise. Our night together there, around the campfire, had been both enriching and enlightening. Wide and varying theological concepts and faiths were expressed, explained, and even dramatized with gestures at the invitation of others. In light of this, it now becomes necessary for me to mention just one of these experiences so that you may better understand the punch line.' Lycurgus Starkey was with us as a canoeist that year. We understand that “Curg,” as he was called, had been a professor in a theological school on the west coast before coming to our first church in Fort Wayne. As we moved around the group, expressing various activities in which we were engaged in our churches, our friend, Glenn Campton, shared with us the fact that he was having a healing ministry ! ’ This did not come as a surprise to most of us, for we knew that this was a part of Glenn’s ministry. Since, however, we were exchanging serious thoughts, it seemed only appropriate that “Curg” should ask more pertinent questions about the healing ministry.’ Glenn was happy to accommodate and to the enjoyment and the enlightenment of each one of us, he spoke glowingly about his ministry of healing. Then someone asked about the mechanics of it — "What do you physically do?” (It must be noted ' here that Russ Dawson, one of our ministers, and one of our canoeing group there that evening, had become ill. His illness had gone unnoticed by all of us and he simply and quietly slipped away to his own tent and went to sleep. Consequently he had not witnessed the demonstration! ’) The whole evening was given over to interesting and challenging, but never argumentative, discussion. It was a wonderful evening! After a good night’s rest, we arose, started the fire, breakfast was prepared (diced ham and eggs scrambled together), breakfast finished, clean-up was completed, and we were breaking camp, preparing to cruise on down river. As Russ was beginning to

November weather report Lores Steury. Goshen College weather observer, presents the following report at the end of November 1986: The normal average temperature in November is 40.1 degrees.

The average accumulated precipitation from January 1-December 1 is 31.28 inches, and in 1986 there has been 34.04 inches — 2.76 inches above normal. The average amount of snow for November is 3.26 inches, but in November 1986, there have been 7.6 inches. What can we expect from December? The average temperature is 28.6 degrees.

dismantle his tent, he called to me and said, "Ross, I’m sick and I’m going home and get toe doctor!” We were, indeed sorry to learn of Russ's not feeling well but felt that this was very likely a wise decision. The one “stopper” to this whole thing was that Glenn had heard the conversation, for he was working at the preparation of his own tent for continuing the • cruise, and he was no more than 10 feet away and could not help hearing Russ’s comment about sickness. Glenn arose immediately from his task, came to Russ, and said, “Did I hear you say that you are sick?” And Russ said, “I surely am sick and I’m going home just as soon as I can get my things together and get there.” Glenn, knowing that he had explained this process of healing just the previous night around our campfire, found it incredible that a preacher would be going home to the doctor and said, “Why don’t you let me give you a treatment?” This mystified Russ, for remember, he had already gone to bed before the discussion followed by the demonstration of the previous

Applying for Social Security retirement benefits is not complicated or time consuming. In many instances, applications can be taken by telephone. Whether you decide to apply for your benefits by telephone or in person you can help speed the process by gathering the necessary documents and mailing them to your local Social Security office with your application or bringing them with you if you visit the office.

evening. In light of this, he asked, “What do you mean, a treatment?” Glenn was amused, but patient, as he thought he was ’reminding' Russ of the discussion of the previous evening. It was then that all of us became painfully aware that we had not missed Russ around the campfire. After all, there was still a crowd — and no one was counting. Glenn simply wanted to place his hands on Russ’s head and pray that God would heal him. But Russ was so intent on getting home and to his doctor that he said simply, “Naw, Glenn, I’d be happy for you to pray for me and if you want to you can stay right here and pray for me all day. It’s OK by me — but I’m headed home to my doctor! ” Glenn excused himself, returned to his unfinished task of rolling up his tent, and as he knelt down on the ground to do so, he was heard to say, “Darned preachers, they ’re the worst.! ” (Incidentally, Russ did have a case of pneumonia. Personally, I’m happy that he went home, received medical help, and got well.)

as well as review the court administration. Representatives of delegations from Kosciusko County are invited to offer brief testimony to the commissioners during the meeting. The Judicial Study Commission requests that such testimony be limited to five minutes each by the representatives.

need include; • Social Security number and original or certified copy of birth certificate or baptismal record for you and members of your family who are also applying for benefits. • Form W-2 for last tax year, or, if you’re seif employed, a copy of last year’s tax return and proof of filing that return (a cancelled check, for example). • A marriage certificate and, if you are now divorced and you were married for 10 years, a divorce decree if you are applying for benefits as a husband or wife. You should also be prepared to provide the following information on your application: • An estimate of your earnings this year and, if you plan to continue working, next year. • Dates of any military and railroad service. In some situations, other documents or information may be needed, but those listed here will be enough in most cases. The amount of your Social Security benefit depends on the number of years you worked and how much you earned in your lifetime. A worker retiring at age 65 this year who has always had maximum earningswill receive a current benefit of $760 a month; a maximum earner retiring at age 62 this year will receive a monthly benefit of $630. A steady worker with average earnings during his or her lifetime who retired at age 65 in 1986 can expect an initial monthly benefit of about $576 a month; an average earner retiring at age 62 this year will receive a benefit of approximately $482 month. And a steady worker with low earnings who retired at age 65 this year will get about S3BO a month; the age 62 low-earner retiring this year will receive about $320 a month. If you’re undecided about your retirement plans and are at least age 60 you can get an immediate estimate of your benefits simply by visiting any Social Security office. In most cases, a Social Security employee will be able to provide that information on the spot. Or if you prefer, you can call your local office and ask them to send you a Form SSA-7004 (“Request for Statement of Earnings’’). Complete the form, write “benefit estimate ’ at the top of the form, and mail it to the Social Security Administration. Within six weeks after that form is received by Social Security, you will get a history of your Social Security earnings along with a benefit estimate. This service is provided as a public service without charge. Whatever your retirement plans are. the people at Social Security are there to help you decide and respond to any questions or concerns you may have.
