Senior Housing Report Issued

The third and final article in a series of available housing for senior citizens in Steuben County has been issued by the Steuben Area Agency on Aging.

This month's "Second Season" publication presents three facilities in the Wayland area, two in Wayland proper and another in Atlanta.

The Pragle Home on 4 East Ave. in Wayland provides a home for women only. According to Anita Pragle, there is a capacity of? four. Currently, however, there are no vacancies.

Iva Lathrop is the contact person for West Naples Manor at 114 W. Naples St. in Wayland. The manor has a capacity for 11 people, 10 women and one man. There is no present vacancy.

The other facility, the Belanger Home at 9 Main St. in Atlanta, is also currently occupied. Capacity there is for four.

The Agency stresses that the ar­ticles "have only included informa­tion resulting from our research."

"It is possible we may have missed other available housing. If so, it was not intentional and if you know of any, please let us know."

The Agency has announced that the RSVP senior volunteer program has recently begun expansion in the Cohocton and Wayland areas.

For several years the program has been affiliated with the Agency on Ag­ing office at the Wayland Senior

)

Center. Volunteers have assisted in the Agency office, made telephone reassurance calls to homebound seniors, transported older people to doctors, for therapy and shopping and have participated in a monthly sewing group making pads and bandages for the American Cancer Society, lap robes for cancer patients, veterans and infirmary residents.

The RSVP expansion will include Noyes Memorial Hospital's Meals on Wheels P r o g r a m . Volunteer-schedulers are Catherine Shanley of Cohocton and Kay Baldwin of Wayland. A training program is being planned.

Other new stations in the Northern Steuben area include the Cohocton Reading Center where volunteers assist the librarian with circulation of books, filing, shelving, etc.; and the Northwest Steuben Youth Services utilizing a RSVP volunteer to help operate a Rent-a-Kid Program.

RSVP is also working with the Agency on Aging and Project Reach to coordinate senior citizen transpor­tation needs in the northern part of the county, using RSVP volunteer drivers. I

Designs for a 1982 Christmas Card Cover Contest are now being sought by RSVP. Entries must be submitted by Mar. 31. The winning design will be selected by the Advisory Council. Cards will be printed by Services Unlimited.

Kuhl Lashes Governor's Proposal

Assemblyman John Kuhl of Ham-mondsport who represents the area encompassing Wayland has criticized Governor Carey for his proposed state budget because it fails to provide ade­quate aid to localities.

Kuhl noted that the Governor has again recommended that the state revenue sharing program be frozen at $800 million. This is $79 million less than localities actually received in 1979. If the Governor's proposal stands, the increased real property taxes experienced by localities because of this freeze will continue, the legislator said.

Additionally, the Governor has recommended elimination of the $79 million special aid program allocated last year when all municipalities ex­cept New York City were eligible.

"At a time when he presents a state budget which reflects an eight per cent increase over last year's, the Governor expects local governments to survive on less," Kuhl said. The assemblyman also stressed that the taxpayer should be wary of the Gover­nor's proposed takeover by the state of a portion of local Medicaid and Home Relief costs. Over a five-year period, such costs would be reduced from 25 per cent to 10 per cent for Medicaid, while locally, Home Relief costs would be reduced from 50 per cent to 25 per cent.

"While superficially such a takeover is attractive, there can be little doubt that it would benefit New York City to the detriment of the balance of the state. It has been deter­mined that a state takeover of Medicaid would result in the city pay­ing only 53 cents for every full dollar of benefit. Contrast this with Steuben County having to pay $2.40 for every dollar of benefit from a state assump­tion and the Governor's favoritism toward New York City becomes ob­vious," Kuhl concluded. *

School District interested in learning sign language in a 10-week adult education program may register for the class at the school. Dawn Robin­son will be the instructor.

Classes already in session include both Men's and Women's Physical Fitness — classes are conducted every Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. J-and Family Swim every Monday from 7 to 9 p.m.

The fitness and swim classes will be

the fitness program and 75 cents for the swim classes.

Also offered on Thursdays starting at 7 p.m. are classes on classical and modem dance with Joe Elliott in­structing.

Additional information may be ob­tained by calling the school.

Those interested in a Genealogy and Family History course should also contact the school for additional in-formation.

Tractor Safety Classes Planned

Tractor certification classes are scheduled again this spring for 14- and 15-year-olds by the Steuben County 4-H program. j

States law requires certification for all those under 16 years of age who plan to drive or ride a tractor. In­terested youth should contact the 4-H office in Bath for further information. Membership in 4-H is not a require­ment for class enrollment, according to John Post, county 4-H agent.

Wayland Collegian Gains Dean's List

William D. Costello, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Costello of Wayland, has been named to the Dean's List at High Point College, N.C., for the fall semester.

To qualify for the Dean's List, a stu­dent must complete 12 semester hours of course work with a 3.5 grade average out of a possible 4.0.

Dean Wood Earns Honor at College

Academic achievement during the fall semester has brought Dean's List honors for Dean Wood at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood of Wayland RD 2 and is a sophomore majoring in religion and philosophy. A 3.3 grade point average is required for the honor.

It wasn't an unexpected announce­ment but the official word that the Moore-Cottrell Subscription Agency office in North Cohocton will be closed creates an economic impact the area can ill afford. Upwards of 160 employes will be affected by the shut­down.

The decision to "phase down" operations at the agency as announc­ed last week at an employee meeting by James Stephens, president of Ebsco Subscription Services, the Alabama firm which purchased the facility from Cadence Industries Corp. of West Caldwell, N.J. He said the plant will be closed completely in four to six months with some layoffs to begin in the near future.

Ebsco has offered to give Moore-bttrell employes first consideration

or any job openings at other company ffices in California, New Jersey, Col-rado, Texas and Illinois. Most bservers believe few will take ad­

vantage of this opportunity because of family situations. Those who do take other positions will keep their seniori­ty rights and in some cases, moving allowances will be provided.

The closing will hit hard at the economy of the area as it had an an­nual payroll of about $1.6 million. Moore-Cottrell also paid about $4,500 in Steuben County taxes and about $9,000 in town taxes last year.

The closing had been anticpated by most people but the official announce­ment still brought shock waves, especially for those working at the firm which operated in North Cohoc­ton for the past 70 years.

Ted DeVoe, supervisor in Cohocton, said he is hoping — and will work for — some other company to take over the Moore-Cottrell plant. He said he is arranging for a meeting of state, jlocal, federal and industrial develop­ment officials to discuss the situation. The State Department of Commerce

is also offering assistance in con­tacting other companies of the facilities in North Cohocton.

Hourly employes who remain with the company until their positions are terminated will receive a week of severance pay for each full year of their employment. Workers on salary will get two weeks pay for each full year of employment. Unemployment benefits also will be available.

In a letter to employes, Stephens ex­plained Ebsco decided to close the Moore-Cottrell office because "there exists insufficient differences and ad­vantages to justify the maintenance of duplicate facilities as compared with our regional offices around the coun­try."

• It continued "It is the desire of both

Cadence and Ebsco to handle the pro­cess ofcyour separation from the com­pany with as much aid to you as we can provide."
