Special month is over —
Tough Love helps year around
i By CARLA GAFF | Staff Writer Though the month of October has fallen from the calendar for 1987, many persons will continue to remember the special meetings which were encouraged nation-wide by the National Tough Love Organization. The Wawasee Tough Love Group sponsored a number of speakers during October, with Dick Dunn perhaps traveling the furthest to be with the group. Dunn is assistant director of the Renaissance-Center in Elkhart. He explained to the group that the center is very different from what many people imagine it to be and talked about persons with chemical dependencies. “We don’t ask anyone to buy a pig-in-a-poke,” he said. “They have control over their own lives and there are no locks on the F-W 1 . El A PROGRAM THAT WORKS — Dick Dunn of the Elkhart Renaissance-Center recently spoke to the Wawasee Tough Love group, explaining to the group’s members the many facets the center has and how it can help them and their dependent child. He stated the center has an 81.7 percent success standing with persons who have been recovering at least six months. (Photo by Carla Gaff) No end in sight And speaking of wrapping packages, Richard Sipe used to snap out a “Bah, humbug” every time he lost the end of a roll of transparent tape. He’d scratch and scrabble and eventually pick it loose. But now this Winchester, Indiana, native saves time, temper, and fingernails: He takes a little plastic clip from a see-through bag of bread and sticks it on the end of the tape when he’s finished with it. His bread may be stale, but his tape is accessible.

every aspect of putting your own personal history on tape, video tapes or with the written word. It is beautifully done with a bright red cover and contains clever apropos drawings throughout. “In Search of Your German Roots” by Angus Baxter, who has written several books about European research, is another paperbook It is 119 pages that carry you from beginning search, records in Germany, churches, archives, Germans in Canada and the United States and even the construction of a family tree. More information and prices can he obtained from Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1001 North Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202-3897. Some things not to consider for Christmas gifts are the everpresent “your family history” for $29.85 or a similar price. These are not your family history; they are listings (usually outdated) of names from telephone books, etc. Any genealogical information is so generalized that it could apply to any family, there is one now using your own maiden name for her maiden name. It is a fictitious person. A number are sending notices now. As soon as the government closes one down, another one or possible the same one appears under a different name and maybe in another state. Ask any friend who is involved in genealogy. He or she will advise you not only to throw the ad away, but if you have paid and ordered one and have not written in it, to return it for money back.

We don’t believe in twisting arms; each person has got to want to be here. ” He related the fact that at one time it was believed only those who came on their own free will could be helped, but that is an idea that is wrong. He continued, “All persons come to the center under the gun in some way.” The center boast an 81.7 percent success rate with persons who have been out for at least six months. Os the 18.3 percent who have relapsed, the majority are not considered to be steady users. “Chemical dependency can happen to anyone if they use a mood altering drug long enough,” explained Dunn. “It doesn’t mean you’re a bad per-
W/C's goaf: To help with nutrition during critical stages of development
ißy JOAN PAULEY Guest Feature Writer “Mother, may I have some formula, please?” A rather unusual request, right? Most children have stopped drinking formula long before they know how to politely ask for it. For three years, Barak had been drinking soy formula. Some friends knew his parents were struggling to afford it (along with his other specialized needs) and suggested they talk with the people at the WIC office in Warsaw about getting formula for him. WIC (Women, Infant and Children) is a federal program monitored by the state board of health. Those are the cold, hard facts. The rest of the story is that the WIC office in Warsaw is administered by kind, helpful individuals. Who is eligible for help from the WIC program? First, you must fit the category. WIC is designed to help pregnant women, infants, nursing mothers, post partum teens and children up to the age of five years. Secondly, you must live within a WIC service area. Thirdly, to be eligible for the WIC program, you must meet income guidelines; and fourth, have a nutritional need. Carol Auer is the senior ' member of the staff in the War/ saw office. Carol said all counties in the state of Indiana are currently serviced by a WIC program. Not all counties operate their own offices — some are serviced by other counties. For example, Carol and most of the rest of the staff in the Warsaw office come from the Elkhart office once a week. Susan Harmon

son, but simply that you've got a disease.” Continuing, he noted persons who live with chemically dependent persons are affected just as they would be if they were living with someone suffering from cancer. Everyone involved plays a part and needs to learn how he or she is affected and how he or she affects the dependent person. “Treatment centers don’t have magical wands,” concluded Dunn, “but they can work.” The Wawasee Tough Love group meets every Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Lakeland Youth Center. Although the group has only been around a little over three years, it has attempted to start satellite programs in Warsaw, South Whitley, and Angola.
is the only Kosciusko County resident working in the Warsaw WIC office, and she, too, is employed by the Elkhart County office. Besides the paid staff, there is one volunteer whose services come through the Mennonite Volunteer Service Program in Elkhart. This is how the WIC works. Based on their nutritional needs, participants are given vouchers which are redeemable at designated grocery stores. These vouchers are for specific foods which are designed to nutritiously improve the participant’s diet. Individual nutritional counseling is available. WIC is not an allaround health care service. It does help with health needs which are diet- and nutrition-related. Examples of women and children who are helped include persons with .anemia, overweight and underweight individuals, pregnant and breast-feeding women, pregnant women with dietrelated health problems and small infants and children. Carol Auer stated, “We do a lot of referring.” Nutritionists refer to local doctors, Well Child Health Services, and the SELF Program among other agencies and individuals. WlC’s target area is the “nutritional” needs of pregnant and new mothers, infants and young children. / WIC has various “packages” available, based on .the needs of the peix6n. For example, an infant package could look like this for one month: 32 ounces of baby cereal, 35 cans of formula, 32 servings of juice.

The group is an anonymous self-help group for parents and guardians only; adolescents and children are excluded. Members are involved in a type of group therapy in which they discuss things they have gone through because of their children being chemically dependent. They may suggest things that have worked for them to others; however, they do not advocate that chemically dependent persons can be cured, but rather that they can be treated and can be a recovering person for the rest of their lives ift they so chose. Anyone wishing for more information about the group may call Tom Prickett at 457-5422 or Sandy Cobbum at 457-5422.
A package for children and pregnant or breast-feeding women would include items from this list: milk, cheese, eggs, cereal, juice, dried beans or peas and peanut butter. There are some restrictions, of course. Formula mifet be purchased in specified sizes and be iron fortified. Juice must be 100 percent fruit juice and 100 percent of the RDA of vitamin C. Cereal must have at least 45 percent of the RDA of iron. A nutritionist will work with each participant to find the package most appropriate to his particular needs. For example, Barak is now three years old. He is still allergic to the milk, cheese, peanut butter and eggs, which are part of the young child’s package. The nutritionist gave him an infant package which will help supply the formula he still needs. .... Barak’s mother found Carol and the rest of the staffin the Warsaw WIC office not only knowledgeable, but clear, courteous and helpful. Starting November 17, the Warsaw WIC office will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week. Until then, the full staff is available Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Susan Harmon is available at the office on Thursday mornings from 9-11 a.m. for voucher pick-up.

Students visit KCH
Recently, Leesburg third grade students-paid a visit to Kosciusko Community Hospital, which has ‘adopted’ the elementary as part of Warsaw Community Schools’ Adopt-A-School program. Here are a few of the student’s thoughts about the trip: “Our group saw some x-rays of bodies. We looked into the microscope and we saw some blood cells. We went in an elevator. I want to go there again. It was fun.'' — Tyler Charlton. “The Kosciusko Community Hospital is a place for people who are sick. If they are sick, the people there will help them. I’m glad there’s a hospital! Alot of people would be sick without one! I liked the hospital! I liked the walking machine and the X-rays.” — Carrie Beth Allen. “Today my class went to the Kosciusko Community Hospital. I liked where the cold blood was I also like the X-ray and the babies too. The neat part though was the blood cells. I liked to watch Olivia using the walking machine.” — Jessica Moore.
