Increasingly Pay

I by Mary Lou w. ~otion Budget Costs

Years of concern over htnv ~ostly the Community C~.:nter op­

. erat10ns might be. how much 1 ~mild be offset by incoming rev­- enues and how l?ig a bite taxpay­. ers would get should ease some~

what with the first full y~ar of real numbers, This year's budget (1996-97) ~micip:.Hed revenues to cover 53 percent of costs - that percentage is coming in some­what better at 60. wiih reasonable expect.ation of continued improve-ment. .

Anotbet"lmponant city facility, the Aquatic· and Fitne~s Center's revenues have srabilized at about

· 87 or 88 percent of paying for its operating costs. Before the fit­·ness center opened in 1993, the pools took in revenues of 60 to 65 percent of expenses.

At the Recreation Department Budget worksession on April 23. some members of the Greenbelt City Co1-1ncil asked whether simi­Jai- kirids of figures could re de­veloped for the city's other facili-­ties -the Youth Center, Sj>ri·nghill Lake Recreation Cen­ter, and Scl!Jom Hills Park. Staff responded that such figures could be wOfked up, but that it mlght be difficult to identify which fa­cility should gel the credit fctr ac­tivities that aren •t clearly associ­ated with a building. Self-sup­porting programs- pay for their di­rect costs and some overhead througp fees and can be placed ~nyw,.ere there is space. Tradi­tionally the. accounting for all lhese progr.uns appeared together

.n a s.:parate account. Last year some of thcst:. pro­

grams were moved to the newl v ~pcned Community Center taking with them, for accounting pur­poses.- the :.t's~ociated fee". The Aquatic and Filne's C'c'ntcr likt·­wise includes in its :IL"I.:ounh lhL· fees for classes and the u:-.e (If tb

facilities. In the other centers. sclf-~up­

portin'g revenues are not used to offset operating expenses of the buildings. Also, the Springhill Lake Recreation Center is small, with no space in which to put special activities that 'might bring in added revenues. In· a similar situation. Schrom Hills Park also does not bring in much revenue.

Budge-t "Expenditures in lhe Recreation

and Parks budget, which account<; for 23 percent of the total city operafing budget. would increase 4.4 percent over last year to· $3.158,600 in the fiscal year 1997-98 (FY 98) budget proposed by City Manager Michael P. McLaughlin. Major accounts in­clude the Aquatic and Fitness Center ($747 ,000), the Commu­nity Center ($539,400), and Ad­ministration ($379,500). The dis­cussion of e~penditu~s for Parks ($690,600) was included in the Public Works workseSsion.

Whi.le no changes -in staff po­sitions are budgeted, significant personnel changes over the past several years will continue as Cathy Salgado, Community Cen­ter supervisor. has announced her departure for a job elsewhe¢.

Firemen Seek City Aid For Station & Equipment

b, James Giese Two iS.S:ues were debated but

not resolved irl CitY. Cou"ncil's l?udget worksession with the rep­resentatives of the Greenbelt Vol­unteer Fire Department on May I. First, how. much should the

-city spend in support of a service that is the assigned responsibility of the county? And second. how much should the _city do lo pro­tect its investment in a city bulid­.ing "that i-tih need of rcp;1irs and renovation, when it is leased to the Fire pepanment which j,. re­sponsible for it.'-i maintenance?

For more than five years. th-e city has been sclting usic.le the yield of a one cent tax lq\ y m its Repla-cement f\.md to he u ..;cd to

help supplement other monic" for lhe purchase of fire equipm~. City Manager MicJ1"adl McLaughlin h~s included such a set aside in this year's budget, $52,800. This set aside began after the city modified the firehouse lease to prohibit the building"'s use ·fo·r casino gam­bling.

Keeping its equipment in. top condition and up-to-date is the fi.-st priority of the Greenbelt Fire

Department, -according to its president. Jay Remcnick. There­fore, none or the $150,000 that will be in Replacement Fund Re· serves should be used for other Fire Department purposes. nor should on-hand funds for equip­rnent replaceme_nt of the depclrt­ment be used. Rcmenick told lhc· councti that Engine 351, a 1989 American Eagle truck and appa­ratu<i, will be ten years old in 19Y9 and -;hould be replaced he­fore :!002. Tha[ is anticipated to -.:o-.t S350 to S40(J thousand.

The department ha-. a further problem in that the t;ounty ha~ not honored ih commitmc~Jt in a thrce-wav deal for the fin;.m;.:t:d purcha~e .of Engine 352, the debt on which wa<, to be repaid over 5 years with fund" received fmm the state, the county and depart­mental funds. The <;Ounty com­mitment was made by then County . Executive Parris Glendening in his last year in of­fice, b!-lt County Executive Wayfle !Curry, faced with major budget ~hortfalls, has not come up with funds to meet the pay-

The Community Center has become a focal. point for commu­nity activities this year, Salgado wrote. Many Greenbelt groups use the ffieeting roorra::: This she noted, has been a good marketing tool, as many individuals return to rent space.

A Tree Falls On Ridge Road

by Kerana Todorov An oak lree split and fell on

Ridge Road uphill from Mishkan Torah between 5 <md 7 couns of Ridge Road, 'Tue5day May 6, at I: 15 p.m. Abo!Jt 2.:000 customers lost electricity for more than an hour. Isaac Robimon, who fives nearb)r. said he heard three or four ''cannon shots."

''There were four loud bangs," said Janet Parker. "Then the an­swering machine beeped. ·the lights. went out, .and we went up to the former Tree Farm next to the 8 Court of RHJge to deter­rninc what had h;~ppened. A large tree had cr:1t ked ·and f.allcn over the power I ill~·- blocking 1he mner lane of Rid~~: Road. Pepco and A ... plundh ltree removers) were- on the joh within -half an hour. A call 1<-ttt:r to GHI resulted m the tree ~.:hippe-r finishing the joh. So~ln the c/e. ... tricny wa~ ba<:k on. foo~j \va.., -;afe and dinner wa-; cooking-.''

New ... Revicv.- 'itaffers wrote article.., by hand with piCnty of light from tht: tall windows once the shades were raised to the top. The generator for the Community Center roared to life outside those windows, stitunding lilc.e a tank. but providing lighted hallways in the building.

Annual Meeting, Elections Of GHI Set for May 15

b\' :\-ian-· ::\1oicn The a~nual ~meeting of the­

membership of Green hell Homes, Inc. (GJII) will be held next Thursd;-~y, ~lay 15 at 7;30 p.m. at the Greenbelt Community Center. This yeJr the members v.ill he electing five board members as Wc:ll as all three memtx-r" of the ' Audit Committee and all mem­bers of the Nominations ~nd Elections Committee. In addi­tion, there are two general issues to be decided on: the first is a proposed bylaws change for deal­ing with loans and investments that was tabled at the 1996 an-· nual meeting; and the other in­volves a request to-loan money to the Greenbelt Development Cor­poration. a GHl subsi·diary.

Voting will be held at the re­cess of the annual meeting on Thursday evening and on Friday, May· 16, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Community Cenler ..

Elections Five GHI board n1em'bers are

completing their terms on the board -Bill Phelan, Ray Stevens, Nat Shinderman, Betty Deitch, and Keith Jahoda. ·Phelan, Stevens. and Shindennan have 1ndicated that they will not seek reelection. Deitch and Jahoda are seeking reelection. Three additional members have filed to run for the board of di­rectors - Julia Eichhorst, Steve Harpe£, and Sue Ready. Mem­bers can still file to run for the board or audit committee through May 8. All members running for the board have experience in various aspects of GHI's commit­tees as well ·as other activities. Biographies of aJI running for GHI offices are found elsewhere in this issue of the paper.

All three positions on the au­dit committee are elected on an annual basis. Two of the three current members - Deborah Cooley and Kathleen Weber -are seeking reelection. In addi­tion two other members have

· filed to date - L. Patricia

Adci<lidc and Andrcv.- Ll'vin There arc curn.·nlly four mem­

bers running for the Noi-mnatum~ and Ele-ctions Committee. tht• only elected Gll[ comrntttec. Th~y arc Sheila Alpers. Ch;trlt:~ Braun. Judith Gnld~;tcin. and Rohcrt Snyder. AIJ four an.· i.:ur­

rent members of the c.:ommlltc~..~.

Bylaws Change At last year's annual meeting,

a petition proposed ch;:mging the bylaw<> dealing with loans and in­vestments. The bYlaws c~rrently restrict investlng tu government­backed securities. The petitiOn sought to allow investing in mu­tual funds that were wholl~ ha ... cd on government securities. After discussion, the membership voted to table the petition to allow the board to look into the issue fur­ther and to bring it back at thi:-; year's meeting. The current hoard is in agreement that mem­bers adopt more flexible language with regard to investment of re­placement reser.ve funds. The board is submitting a substitute motion which would give the board "authority to invest the funds of the Corporation, e"xercis­ing sound judgmenr and con"sult­ing with independent profession­als as appropriate." Both the 1996 motion and the substitute motion will be discussed at the annual meeting.

Loan to GDC Greenbelt Development Corpo­

ration (GOC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GHI, owns and op­erates 60 apartments along with 52 garages located on Partway Road. GDC recently requested a loan from GHI to rehabilitate six apanments, install a new roof on some buildings, and to repair the heating system. The GHI bylaws ind1cale that the loaning of GHI funds for use in thi~ manner must have the 'PriOr approval of the membership. Thus it is being brought to the memOCrship at the annual meeting.

ing trash pick up: . the "backdoor" collection of refuse from GHI trash closets is very efficient. Ttlis is due to the geograpliicaJ layout of tl].e courts.

Quick Response This is a follow-up leuer re­

g-arding my letter you printed two weeks ago regarding the rock­napping behind Plateau Place. The man who took the rocks wrote to me apologizing pro­fusely, and placed each of the rocks back. -_in their respective p-laces on the trail. It turns out that he really does like these rocks. which I mistakenly thought were igneous rocks. They are actually sedimentary rocks known as ironstone. I am humble-d b,. this man "s conscience and his swift actions to rectify the rOck­napping. \\'e all make mistakes. but how many or us compensate

for them in a timely manner. if at all? I for one would appreciate • an opportunity to conSult with this man about woodlands issues. I know you read the NewS Re­view, please contact me again.

No Public Health Hazards Found in. BARC Cleanup

Gypsy Moth Spraying Canceled in Greenbelt;; by Betsy Likowski

by Elaine Skolnik malerial such as tree limbs and Spraying to kill gn;sy moth catcrpii.lars will not be done this year in any part of Greenbelt. State workers were in Greenbelt on April 28 and 29 looking for an infestation of gypsy moths and did not find enough caterpillar activity

to warrant spraying . The original plan was to spray

several· hundred acres in Greenbelt and n~arby communities with Dimilin. in late April or early May as a preventive measure. The level of gypsy moth egg masses was very high in parts of Greenbelt Park. Since young gypsy moth caterpillars can float up to a mile on the wind, there was -concern of possible infestation outside of the park. •'Tile potential for blow-in was very high," said Linda Scott, Administrative Spe­cialist, Forest Pest Management Division of the Maryland Depan­ment of Agriculture.

bers in New Carrollton and that community will be sprayed. The other three communities slated to be sprayed - Greenbelt. Berwyn Heights and College Park - will not be sprayed~ Green belt Park

003, at 10300 Baltimore AVe. in Behsv.ille. Comments should be sent to Kim Kaplan, information staff. ARS, USDA. Room 448, 6303 Ivy Lane. Greenbelt. MD 20770. For additional informa­tion; call Kaplan at 30-l-344-2446.

Background Acc<?rding to Kaplan. in No­

vember 1995 the Agency for ToxiC ·substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted a review of BARC and determined that potential environmental con­tamination posed "'no imminent threat to human health. •· Follow­ing ATSDR's site visit. the U.S.

. Environmental Protection Agency {EPA) requested that surf;;1ce de- · bris be removed from parts of the Odell tract. EPA noted that the purpo:.c of the action was "to eliminate any physical or chemi­cal hazard potentially posed by the material found ·at the site," which it described as a he;Ivily fore!'tcd ar'ea wilh traces of "a network of accesS roads."

.At pre.scnt, materials removed will ·be analysed. Bast:d on the

·results, USDA's subsidiary agency. the _Agricultur~d Rcscurch Service (ARS). in con!>ultation with EPA, will determine whether additional action is· needed, Kaplan said.

In the meantime the EPA is fi­nalizing a Fedenl Facilities Agreement that establishes tPc le­gal framework for dealing with cleanup 2ctivities at BARC. In-

;"cluded are guidelines for reports. timetables, approvals, priorities and penalties. Meetings between EPA and BARC representatives have spa~ned many years. · To comply with EPA regula­

tions, ARS in 1991 conducted an inspection of its 6,600-acre BARC site to identify locations thaf might be environmentall_y contamiriated. Of 44 sites of possible concern. 16 required fur­ther study. Because of this as­:<>:c<;;-;menl. EPA, on ~by 31. l91J-l. placed BARC "as a V..·holc'" on

: the N<~libn;d Priorilic-" Lt.,t for Hazardous \Vastes r:-.:PL).

Accordinf! to the Fcdcr:.li Reg­ister ;.tt the lime. ""The td.:ntlfic.t­tion of :1 site for the ~PL i-.. In­tended prim~mly to guid~ EP.-\ for determining ""hich ~ite-.. v ... tr­rant further inve~tiga(ton to as~c-;s the nature ~md extent of public health, and environmental need!'." Thev would also recommend re­medial action If it should he rc­q'mred.

· An April 1994 BARC repon ri(llt!'d that "The listing ton the NPLi was based on conlamma­tion. identified by ARS in a four­

. acre stte where· bindegrad;1hlc

concern require more extensive examination of soil. groundwater and surface water and which ar­eas were merely 4Sed for normal agricultural practices and present ~o .threat to the environment."'

tor for gypsy moths for the next couple of months. The caterpillars can· onlv blow around in the first couple ~f weeks in their life. This year they h~tched out in mid-April.

Citizens who see gypsy ~ths are encouraged to call t~sw,te

ments. Fire Chief Gene Davi.s speculated that part of the prob­lem is that the money •·just isn't there." In Greenbelt's case, the fire department has been paying the cOunty's share of the debt. Remenick said that another de­partment with. the same deal has had to default on its loan pay­ment.

. · Fire House Last year. the department

brought to the council·~ attention the condition of the fir'Chouse A· long list of needed m~1inten~1nce and improvement items was given ·to the council. \\'Uiiam Stratton, a focal architect. pro~ vided the city with a cost esti­mate for the work to ht: dnnt:­$250,000. Since then, the city and county cooperated in repav­ing the parking lot and driveway, reducing the cost of remaining work to be done by SSO,OOO. The department has accomplished a· few of the other smaiiC'r items as weJL

Remenick feels ·that some of the estimates may be high, others low. Overall, he thinks that to do all the remaining work will co,c;t $150,000 to $175,000, give or take $25,000. The top three pri­ority items are renovation of the bunkrooms ($40-$50.000: accord­ing to Remenick), the control room. with equipment moderniza­tion and ~ conditioning added_ (about $20,000) and repainting (about $9.000). · The only assistance the county has agreed 'to provide is the fur­nishing of paint and other con­struction materials. It expects the volunteer members to do the painting. Sirililarly, the county expects the-volunteers to do the bunkroom.' renovations, but will furnish construction materials.

..... · Bunkrooms Remenick caUed the architect's

eStimates: for the bunkhouse low. He wan~ to rep1ace the beds and redesign .the rooms to be attrac-tive to Fire Training Students at the Unive(Sityr of ·Maryland. who _would serve. as volunteers while

· living at the firehouse. To this enQ, an important need is a direct tie-in to the University computer system. Also. better female quar- . ters are needed. Boardmember Ed Hughes of-t~ department told cOuncil that while volunteers had done the w'>rk in the past. this time there was a need for skilled people to do the job.

McLauglin told the council that Governor Parris Glendening intends to budget $2.7 million over the next five years for fire departments. of which Grecnbeh would get $85,000. ·rn addition. Curry has pledged $16.000 over the next two years. The-;e rev­criues were pledged 10 make up for the loss of income from cq-sino gambling, which will no longer bC permitted after this _month. This would bring to Greenbelt $117,000 for use eiihcr to buy equipment or renovate buiJdi_ngs. However. Remenick n~ted that ,~he Governor's com­mitment extended beyond h1s preSent terin of office and that the legisJature had to approve each year's allocation as part of the annual J?udget.

What to Do? What to do about the prob~

lem? Council decided it should take the initiative. and bring the m~uter to the attention of County Councilmembcr Audrey Scott. with the hope that she could find some ·more money for the Ocpnrt-.menr. · · · Mayor Antoinette Bram asked

if the Replacement und monies should be used to inance the bui_lding costs. Co ncilmember Thomas White felt that this wasn "t a gqod idea-once you use city funi:Js to pay for some·

~ling for wliich others are obli­:ltcd. they will back off from oing it themselves. But

Couhcilmember Rodney Roberts ' pointed out that the firehouse wac; a city building. and that 'the cit)t should see that it is properly maintained. \Vhite rebuued that the ci_ty would he assuming a re­sponsihility it h:1!-.n't had before­the fire service is a c.:ounty scr- · vice.

Remenick noted a difference. "I don't know of any other fire department that hac; a building owned b)· !he municipality," he s::tid. Councilmember Ed Putens supponcd Roberts and urged hav­ing the' renovation work done qoickly. ..We have people living there and I'm ashamed." he said.

Remcnick opposed using the Replaci::ment Fund monies, be­cause he felt those funds would be needed for the replacement of Engine )52. Bram said she was hoping lhat. t):le state would re­place those : fund!i . Councilmeinber DaVis suggested that the depanment get a loan for the ·renovation work .. possibly from the city. Roberts suggested using the $}50,000 budgete.d for renovations at Roosevelt Center. ''I'm not comfortable with _spend­ing those funds," he said.

Remenkk suggested increasing the c1ty's contribution to the yield of a two-cent lax rate, compa­rable to that done by the City of

.Laurel for its depanment. Davis was willing to discuss the idea. but made it clear she was not saying how she would decide on it, "one way or the other."

The Gree~belt New Year was a partnership with volunteers and sQm·e staff assistance. Space was prOvided for public workshops Spons~red by Co-op and to the police department for workshops and seminars.

Unmet Needs Salgado. expressed concern

about ·whether current weekend and evening· staffing of one person is adequate at the Community Center. Adding a second person during those times would cost $12.000. She also noted the need

' fOr replacing the 1937 metal frame windows in the building for a cost 9f $350,000. The windows leak, causing interior damage, and some are difficult to close, causing secu­rity concerns.

Rentals Much discussion centered on

the need for further refining poli- · cies governing rental of space in the building for private parties. Noise is one concern. Following a teen birthday with a live band, the s·taff determined that live. bands shoul_d only be permitted for large comm·unity activities. ·

1\vo incidents were more seiious. Both involved abusive ~ent of staff. · ·

The incident the first week the Center opened, involving only one person, was the worst. In the in­cident several weeks agq. a group went ahead with their plan to hold a large party even though they did not receive a pennit. They had only applied one day in advance. Salgado told council the experi­ence was .. overwhelming.... The people she spofe with were .. ..,_ gry and verbally abusive." but she felt safer because she had called in the police to back her up. Staff needs I 0 .working days in order to approve a permit to use a facility. They must determine what the in­tended use is and whether it is ap­propriate.

Aquatic & Fitness Center The department's- largest facil­

ity in tenns of annual. costs, per­sonnel numbers and public use is tlle Aquati~. & Fitnq:ss Center with its indoor and outdoor pools and fitness center. Some 211,300 people wjU have used one pr all during this fiscal year, or on~:;third of the ·people participating Jn .all of Greenbelt's recreation· 'pro­grams. Total expenditufes arc proposed to increase 4.8 percent to $747.000. Of that 88 percent or $645,200 will be paid fpr through the sale of passes. daily. admis­sions, rentals, classes, and other itCms. The remainder comes from geneml city "revenueS. A ~ percent increase is proposed for passes, but no change is expected fOr daily aqmissions. One change in expensds is the need to raise the lowest pay for part-time work to

Supervisor George Rogala ex­plained to cmmcil that' the percent­age of expenditures paid by in­~ome probably won't increase jn the future. To do so would rb­quire crowding during peak hours, raising fees significantly (to ov~­comc those who might ~rop out with any increase) and/or attract­ing more non-residents who pay more per service.

Councilmember Ed Putens asked Rogala to dec~e slightly what residents pay and increase what nonresidents are charged. Bram agreed there "should be a noticeable difference." Councilmember Rodney Roberts stated flatly that the facility is "ex­tremely cheap."

Rogala is proud of his place, "It's homey, .nice-looking, open. People tour here from all over the country." He says all the pools being built today are using the same roOf design.

Unmet Needs Rogala particularly wants a

new computer and to get included in the department's "RecTrak" system of registration for classes now in use throughout th~ rest of the recreation department. Consis~ tent reporting and accounling is also done through RecTrak.

Youth Center The Youth Center houses the

administrative staff and its own programs Wld, open gym and game area. The building was used by over 80,000 people this year. The fourth phase of building renova­tio~ is curreiHiy in progress.

Good Deed Funds The city accounts for 12 differ­

ent funds where the .money is given to the city for specific uses by vari­ous parties. Inciuded are two tiny funds that have helped pay for as­sistance for people in need. One is caljed the Good Samaritan Fund. and most of its rhonies come from area churChes. The purpose of the fund is to. provide assistance to roadside travelers who get stuck in Greenbelt. This may be buying a tankful of gas to help the travelers reach their destlnation or buying some food at a grocery stor~. The travelers are screened to avoid deadbeats and no funds are given

directly to the people in need. Pur­chases can be authorized by mem­bers of tbe police department or. local clergymen. The budget for · the coming year for this fund is $600.

Tile: other good deed fund is the Emergency Assistance fund. It re­ceives donatio.ns from various in~ dividuals and groups. The money is primarily administered by a vol­unteer who is dedicated to helping out Greenbelt families in need. The philosOphy is that it is much more difficult to restore a family to suit~ able housing if they become home­less than it is to provide n~eded as· sistance to prevent an eviction from happening. Councilmember Tho­mas White noted that this fund was getting low - only $295 was ex­pected to remain at the end of the year. Putens suggested that the fund needed greater publicity rn order to raise more contributions.

One of the Jal"ger· funds in this group of agency funds is the drug . and evidence fund, which accounts for the monies and properties con­fiscated from drug raids and busts . This year $40,000 will be trans~ ferred to thC:: General Fund to help pay for public safety expenses.

Greenbelt's Senior Citizens

GIVES Senior- Services Help to Solve Problems

by Dorothy Sucher (Editor's Note: This arricle is

om.• in a series the News Review is pub./ishing in May to celehrale Older Americans Month.) .

·Less than two years old, the Greenbelt lntergenerational Vol'-"­teer Exchange Service, usually re­ferred to as GIVES, is one of Greenbelt's n"ewest organizations. Founded after a Period of study by the Senior Citizens Advisory Com­mittee and with the blessing of the Greenbelt City Council, GIVES is trying to develop a pool of volun­teers to provide assjstance to homebound seniors and the dis­.Jhled so that they can remain inde­~ndent. in their own homes. The (.:ity provides office .space in the Community Center, as well as photocopying.

"My sister and I realized we were· having trouble dealing \\'ith my _moiher's aging," t:x­plai·ned Pat Unger, one of the founders- of· GIVES. who was prc!'ident last year. "We couldn'r seem to find needed ~ervice~ .. I'm a teacher and Ill)

Sis.ter is a librarian, and \\C fig­ured .. that if we were finding this process difficult, other families must real1y be having m..1.jor:- problems."

Time Dollars Modeled after the commu­

·1 , mty volunteer pools and "care , J creJit'' banks that have <iprung ~5 up in other parts of the country. ~ GIVES ~s a cooperative 1n

·'' which caregivers receive a care ~ credit or a certain number of · "time dollars" for each hour

. ~-~ givea t-o.. the care receivers. The caregiVers may use these credits to receive services thein­selves, save them for future· use. or donale them to others or to the bank. N~ actual money

changes hands. Many kinds of services can

be exchanged. Janet Parker, the current president of GIVES, explained: "We know there are people who need help. but re­sist signing up because they say ·there· is nothing they can do for anyone else. But there's always something they· can do - sew on a button, telephone a shut~in who is having a birth­day, cook. a meal that someone else could deliver.

"One of our participants has a wheelc:hair-accessihle van. His wife i~ an invalid J.nd can't get ou~ of bed, so· when we need him to tr:ms.port Someone, another GIVES memhcr goes over and sits with his wife."

GIVES volunteers have helped out v. ith yard work, laundrY, visits to docwrs. and buying .. and wr;:tpping Christmas gifts. t:sually. women are p;tired up with \\"omen and men with men. Volunteers arc not pe-rmitted to give medication, lift people. or provide services that require a licensed profes­sionaL In the c<tsc of needs beyond GIVES' ~..:apacity, refer­rals may be made to ~ocial ser­vice agencies.

'-1ore Helpers than Clients Initially. 40 volunteer~

signed up, and the list has now reached 150. The main prob­lem of the riew organization seems to be how to match up helpers with those who could use a 1ittle assistance. GIVES. has tried advertising, with sparse -results. Members of the group have given talks to orga­nizations· <md <tl Green Ridge 1-Iou~e (Greenbelt's apartment house for the elderly). which resuited in some referrals.

said Parker. But in the words of founder

, t Unger, "As the city of Greenbelt looks, fOrward to ct.:l­Qbrating its 60tti anniversary in hne of 1997. the Board and rhembcrs of GIVES hope "ro be <ible to point to the established ifltergenerational cx~.:hange ser­Vice as one of the most com­forting features of life in the ~i-ty for the senior population."

Irene has lived Jn

Greenbelt for 39 years and has su children. She ha~ an amicable relationship with her husband. Richard (also a Greenhclter), although the two have been separated for 13 years. '"'He's a loner:· she says. "Not a people person like me. So after a while I just went off and did my own

thing. You only live once." Irene has retired from her

jOb as a word processor at the Agriculture Departrrient, and is often to be seen these days at the Greenbelt "Community Center. where she works three days a week as a city em­ployee. On Monday, \Voednes­day, and Friday mornings she babysits with the kids whose mothers are leaping about in the aerobics class across the hall. At other times she helps out with lhe Food and Friend­ship program or sits in as manager in the office of

, GJVES (Greenbelt · Intergenerational Volunteer .Exchange). ' A former I st Class Petty Officer in the Navy, Irene met her husband while the two we're in the servi<.:e, where she served three and a half ve.trs. She said proudly thal her name will he on the new me­morial to women in the scr­vir.;c that will be dcd1catr.:d tn Arlington in October. An­other distinction 1s that she· was profiled in "Prince George's Women of Achieve­ment" a feW year.s ago.

She commented with a twinkle, "When we first moved here, my husband thought I wouldn't like Greenbelt. Then he said he couldn't get .me out of here." She chuckled. "Three
