College Hospital wants to use this area for new acute care facility.LICH Expansion...Continued fro m Page 3BY DAN ICOLARIThe President%u2019s economic advisors can make all the fiscal projections they want to, but when you%u2019re old %u2014 and poor %u2014 and living on a fixed income, rosy statistics just can%u2019t dispel that empty feeling in your belly.Recognizing the disastrous effect an inflationary spiral has on the aging population, Heights and Hill Community Council has initiated a discount program for senior citizens in these communities. Twenty-six local merchants have responded enthusiastically to the Council%u2019s appeal and are now granting an average 10 percent discount on goods and services pirchased by people 65 years of age and older.

Its thrust is a departure from the conventional %u201ccenter%u201d concept, where services and assistance are disseminated at one location. Instead, the Council favors a scatter-site approach which reaches people where they are. Thus the Council and its member organizations are involved in a range of programs in health, education, recreation and security now in effect at various locations in the area.Maximum input and participation from older people are actively sought; obviously this maximizes the program%u2019s inpact, but just as important, it provides for greater participation of senior citizens in the affairs of their own communities.knew it had been translated into a formal proposal until nearly two months after the proposal had been submitted. %u201cWhat they did at these meetings is read an outline of the plan with little opportunity for the community to offer rebuttle,%u201d said Alice VanBolt, President of the Cobble Hill Association.A more important issue mentioned by these representatives, was the hospital%u2019s claim of community support for the plan. %u201cAll the community groups I know are still working on position papers on the hew proposal,%u201d Ms. VanBolt said. %u201cWe%u2019re going very carefully over the present plan, and what we didn%u2019t like in October, we don%u2019t like in March.%u201d The introduction to the LICH proposal submitted th the State read, %u201cthe hospital feels assured that this plan has the support of virtually all the hospital%u2019s neighbors.%u201d %u201cBut they came out with this statement before anyone knew of the actualproposal,%u201d added Sayegh.These differences are primarily about presentation. The more critical and substantive ones concern the particulars of the LICH modernization plan%u2019s impact on the community. Both the community and the hospital representatives have called for a reconciliation of the problems that still face them, and on this their respective comments are nearly mirror images. %u201cThere are certain outstanding issues which must be solved,%u201d says Wingate, %u201cThese can be solved through reasoned discussion with community leaders.%u201d %u201cNobody%u2019s against the hospital,%u201d adds Sayegh, %u201cHopefully we will come to some solution in the near future.%u201dIn the meantime, the Comprehensive Health Planning another meeting between com- & munity leaders and the hospital.

The Division settled on Captain George Peters, who, they believe will bring a %u201cnew look%u201d to the precinct. The 76thPrecinct is notable for its diversity, including the residential communities of Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and Boerum Hill, as well as the industrial belt along the Gowanus Canal.Captain Peters comes to the 76th after a brief assignment as executive officer at the 71st in Crown Heights. Peters, who spent some time on assignment with the Federal Task Force on Narcotics, was described by Butcher as %u201cthe kind of man who takes on a challenge.%u201d He said that Brooklyn South officeals are %u201cvery pleased%u201d with getting a man of his caliber for the 76th.The announcement came as a particular surprise to Frank Verderame, the President of the 76th Precinct Council. %u201cButcherBEFORE YOU FILE THATTAX RETURN: STOP by fora chat.
