Houston
Program
Saves $$
Department of Family
and Children Services
Director, Kathryn
Harris, announces that
$20,846.54 in County, State
and Federal monies have
been saved over a ten
month period due to the
County Commissioners
and State Legislators
implementing the
Homemaker Program in
Houston County. The
purposes of this program
are: (1) to provide care
for clients living in their
homes to prevent the
need of unnecessary
placement in a nursing
home or foster care
home; and (2) to enable
individuals living in
nursing homes or foster
care homes to return to
their own home.
The seventy-eight (78)
clients who received
homemaker services
during this ten month
period would have had to
be placed in a nursing
home or foster care home
prior to the im
plementation of this
program. These out of
home placements would
have cost a total
amount of $57,895.84.
Instead, it cost $37,049.30
to maintain these
seventy-eight clients in
their own home. This
amount is the total of the
Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) benefits,
$17,892.80 and-or Aid to
Families with Dependent
Children (AFDC)
benefits, $4,215.00
received by these clients
and salary and travel of
three Homemaker Aides,
$14,941.50 over the ten
month period. The
monies saved shows that
in-home care can be
provided to clients by the
Homemaker Aides at a
cost significantly lower
than the care of these
individuals in an in
stitutional setting or
foster care setting.

The program is

society and proceeds will
be used to support the
premiums offered to
exhibitors at the 1978

The special Easter
program will also feature

f Report To
The People
From Your State Representative
LARRY WALKER
Annual differences
over the budget this year
have not materialized
and the General
Assembly swings into its
final working days with
Conference Committee
agreement on a $2.4
billion spending plan.
The result does not
include an expensive
expansion of the State's
alcohol treatment
program, but does
promise to upgrade
salaries of state em
ployees currently earning
less than SIO,OOO.
And, probably
nowhere in the state's
legislative history has so
much been done for
teachers down the win
ding road to retirement.
Not only does the budget
for FY 79 include a .04
increase in the present
1.80 retirement benefit
multiplier factor, also
teachers will average
only their highest 2
consecutive years salary
rather than the highest
consecutive 5 years now
being multiplied to
determine benefits.
This formula means a
substantial increase in
pension checks when
funds become available
in the future.
But, while teachers
have more to look for
ward to as a result of
legislation enacted this
session, convicted
shoplifters will find
themselves looking
square into the face of
stiffer penalties. Con
versely, with shoplifting
defined as a specific
crime other than theft by
taking and penalties
clearly expressed, retail
merchants are headed for
a reduction in loss due to
shoplifting ... which, in
country and western
music entertainers
"Bonnie and Clyde".
Five separate Easter
Egg Hunts are scheduled.
Prizes to be presented
include two-one hundred
dollar bills, two-fifty
dollar bills, two-twenty
dollar bills, four-ten
dollar bills, twelve-five
dollar bills, twenty three-
Easter Egg Baskets,
fifty-silver dollars, two
turn, should create
savings that can be
passed on to the con
sumer.
