THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Projects for Aged, Retarded
(Continued from Page 1)
Jewish Family Service's
experimental group resi-
dence project will provide
for the rental of four three-
bedroom units, meals and
many other services for 12
senior adults. The object is
to enable a group of people,
who might otherwise re-
quire some sort of in-
stitutionalization, to re-
main in the community in a
family setting. A monthly
fee will be charged when the
full costs are determined.
The family concept serves
to remove the sense of isola-
tion that many elderly feel.
Residents will be supportive
of each other and provide
A

able on an ongoing basis.
The two projects deal-
ing with the mentally
handicapped were re-
viewed and presented for
approval by the Jewish
Welfare Federation's
Community Services Di-
vision subcommittee on
the mentally retarded,
under the chairmanship
of Byron B. Gerson.
One grant will fund staff
time for the Association for
the Jewish Retarded to
place and supervise 30 re-
tarded adults in their own
apartments. These persons
who are believed to be capa-
ble of independent living
,within the Jewish commu-
nity already earn of receive
sufficient funds for living
expenses. The aim of the
program is to help them be-
co-me self-sufficient with the
aid of supervisory person-
nel'. The demonstration
project is for two years.

The Hillel Foundation
grant continued the pro-
gram to recruit and train
students and other campus
personnel for positions in
Jewish summer camps,
especially Tamarack.
It is anticipated that sev-
eral projects will qualify for
government funding to as-
sure continuity-of opera-
tions, following completion
of the UJC-financed pilot
phases.
JVS's outreach program
will seek to identify the
vocational, medical, social
service and housing needs of
mentally impaired persons
— both retarded and men-
tally ill — living in isolation
from the mainstream of the
Jewish community.
Additionally, clients will
be referred to available
services and provided with
advocacy services where
needed. Follow-up will be
provided on the results of
these referrals.

Corps involves 40 senior

Haverim Home Residents
Camping Out This Summer
By, the end of this sum-
mer, six residents of
Haverim Home for the
Jewish Retarded will be
savvy in the arts of tent
pitching and cooking out.
Thanks to a $5,500 grant
from the Detroit-Wayne
County Community Mental
Health Board, the Associa-
tion for the Jewish Retarded
has been able to arrange six
camping weekends for the
residents of the Evergreen
Rd. residence, as well as
single weekend outings for
an additional 12 retarded
persons from the commu-
nity. _
Accompanied by AJR re-
lief staffers Tom and Sherri
Schamante and Lynne
Wolinski, participants have
already spent two weekends
-at campsites in the met-
ropolitan area.
AJR Executive Direc- -
for Joyce Keller said that
such opportunities have
been limited in the past,
especially for those who
have been in-
stitutionalized or living
-
with elderly parents. Un-
like a formal camp set-
ting, this program em-
phasizes individual in-
struction and involve-
ment — a "do it yourself'
growth experience.
By learning such skills as
campfire safety, hiking,
fishing and boating, the re-
tarded persons learn self-
confidence and a greater
appreciation of the out-
doors.
The grant covers all ex-
penses for the summer
camping program, includ-
ing camper rental, staff,
food, recreation and
supplies.
Mrs. Schamante reported
that their first experience
was positive, both for the
campers and their
neighbors at the campsite.
"Everyone was very nice to
us. They even showed .us
how to 'bake' pies in a frying
pan.
Now our group really
feels expert about camping;
they're looking forward to
the next campsite."
Technological Improvements Shown
at Air Force Day Celebration
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
rael celebrated Air Force
Day with a demonstration
of the latest combat
technology and the pre-
sentation of wings to a new
crop of pilots at ceremonies
attended by Defense Minis-
ter Ezer Weizman and Air
Force Commander Gen.
David Ivri at a base in the
south of the country. Some
of that equipment was put
through its paces.
The Cobra helicopter
demonstrated its maneu-
verability as an anti-tank
weapon. The American-
built Hawkeye early warn-
ing and spotter plane which
has already seen action in
the skies over Lebanon, de-
tected "enemy" aircraft at a
range of 260 miles and
flashed the information to
interceptor planes. Forma-
tions of French-made Fouga
Magestere training planes,
American F-15 fighters and
the Israel-made Kfir inter-
ceptors flew in formations
forming a giant Star of
David.
Israel's Navy also had
something to celebrate. Its
newest missile boat was
launched at the Israel Ship-
yards on Haifa Bay. The
.
craft, which will carry a
crew of 45 officers and men
and the latest improved
Gabriel surface-to-surface
missiles, has a cruising
range of 3,000 nautical
miles. -
