Martin Proclaim:® Sunday-“National Grandparents Day” Raleigh-Governor James' G. Martin has proclaimed Sunday, Sep tember 7, 1986, as NationalGrand parents Day in North Carolina. In his proclamation the Governor stated that “North Carolina is pleased to have the opportunity to honor our grandparents for their wisdom, love, hard work, experi ence, and the special contributions to make to families and communi ties. These contributions have greatly added to the growth and development of North Carolina.” Human Resources Secretary Phillip J. Kirk, Jr., Joined the Governor in urging North Carolin ians to respect and honor their grandparents during this special observance. He pointed out that many grand parents stay active and independent by taking part in volunteer and community projects. “Grandpar ents not only strengthen family and community life, they also help bridge the generation gap by creat ing greater understanding and friendship among young people," Kirk noted. “Their special gift of commitment and caring results in special services and care to disabled children and school students." Elaine Stoops, Assistant Secretary for Aging, explained that there are currently two programs operated by the N.C. Division of Aging that actively involve grandparents. They are the FosterGrandparent and Intergenerational programs She said that there are currently four Faster Grandparent Projects in North Carolina serving 1500 child ren. They are the Western Carolina Center for the mentally retarded in Morganton, one of the original Fos ter Grandparent Projects in the ‘United States; the Caswell Center for the mentally retarded in Kins ton; the New River Mental Health Center in Boone; and the WAGES < Action Group for Economic Solven cy ) in Goldsboro. The N. <J. Division of Aging sponsors and reviews the projects, all of which are funded by the federal agencyACTION Stoops added that the children in the Foster Grand parent Project are 21 years of age or under, in need of remedial care and training, and are referred to die program by mental hdalth professionals. The grandparents must be 60 years of age or older and in reasonable good health. They work four hours a day, five days a week, and receive a stipend of $3.20 an hour, a hot meal, and annual medial check-ups “The strength of the Foster Grandparent project is that it meets the needs of both generations so successfully," she emphasized. “The children give unconditional love to the older volunteers, which enriches their lives, and gives them a good reason for living. In return, the older adults give the children education, recreation, and technical skills, but most importantly they give love and caring.” In the Intergeneratlonal Program, third grade students from Dur ham's Parkwood Elementary School adopted “grandparents” from the local Methodist Retirement Home. The grandparents work with the children in preparing school lessons as well as reading and talking together. This special [»«f «m brings children and older adults together in a spirit of learning, caring, and friendship. It will serve as a successful model far other Intergeneratlonal programs in North Carolina’s public school system this fall. Stoops also said that grandparents in North Carolina enjoy legal visita tion rights with their grandchildren. - Rib-Eye Steaks^ Choice <#|AA Western Beef V Lb. W — ’ ■ ' -.
