ed on the revenue sources of the Area
Agency on Aging and its subcontract-
ors. Fifty-nine percent of the funds
came from federal sources, 5 percent
from non-federal and public cash, 2
percent from state general revenue,
and 34 percent from program income
(contributions from program partici-
pants). The importance of the contri-
butions from program participants,
whose contributions stay in their
respective counties was stressed; with-
out these contributions many pro-
grams would have to drastically re-
duce their services. Kollar summariz-
ed his remarks by saying, "The
Northeast Missouri Area Agency on
Aging is providing an essential and
quality service to the citizens of
northeast Missouri."
As a supplement to the audit, the
NEMO AAA presented its first annual
report to the Board of Directors, This
report summarizes all the programs
funded through the Area Agency on
Aging in fiscal year 1985..
Additional reports were given by
Gene Corbett, Nutrition Director;
Mar|ha Wadlin, Executive Director;
Carmaleta Williams, Pike County
Coordinator; Chris Waldmier, Home-
care of Mid-Missouri. Cindy O'Laugh-
fin, OATS Area Director announced the
appointment of Don Erter as new
director for Oats, Inc. Becky
Mansfield, Information-Special Pro-
jects Director, presented the five
priority bills chosen by the Silver
Haired Legislature at its Oct. 15-17
meeting. These bills were: first)
establish a presidential primary,
second) increase funding levels for
In-Home services, third) redefine
eligibility requirements for Medicaid
assistance, Fourth) create a Resident-
ial Utility Consumer Advocate, and
Fifth) revise Missouri's statutory lien
law.
Special recognition was given by
Martha Wadlin, Executive Director, to
two senior centers for outstanding
programs during the first quarter of
the new fiscal year. Diane Hendrix,
director of the Monroe City Senior
Center, was recognized for her efforts
in increasing the participation in the
nutrition program for that area. Mary
Pyles, County Coordinator for Schuyler
County, was recognized for implement-
ing the second meal-a-day program as
a regular part of her nutrition
program.,
The next meeting of the Northeast

Danforth supports effort
to protect food stamps
U.S. Senator Jack banforth (R-MO)
is supporting an effort t protect food
stamp benefits in households that
receive federal assistance with their
heating bills. Danforth and seven
colleagues are canvassing the Senate
for votes to preserve food stamp
benefit levels threatened by cuts to
offset aid with home heating bills.
"It would be unconscmnable to force
a choice of 'heat or eat' on the poorest
Americans," Danforth said. "congress
established the energy assistance
program in 1980 with the clear
intention that energy assistance would
not be counted against benefits under
other federal programs. Our amend-
ment to preserve food stamp benefits
would reaffirm this intent.
"Under the pending bills, states with
the coldest winters would suffer the
greatest reductions in benefits. It is
not reasonable to expect states with
the coldest winters to carry significant
reductions in the nation's basic
nutrition program-during a season
when adequate nutrition is especially
critical to good health."
Under pending budget and farm
legislation, food stamp benefits would
be cut an average of $14.70 per month
nationwide in households that receive
aid with heating bills under the Low
income Home Energy Assistance
Program. An estimated 5.5 million
households would lose benefits nation-
wide.
In Missouri, the bill opposed by
Danforth would bring an average
monthly cut of $16.80 in more than
88,000 households, by estimate of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. The maximum reduction in
benefits would be $28.80 per month.
Joining Danforth in seeking support
for an amendment to preserve existing
benefits were Senators Tom Eagleton
(D-Mo.I. Robert Stafford R-Vt.i, John
Heinz R- Pa.L Alfonse D'Amato
(R-N. y.;, Edward Kennedy (D-Me.),
John Glenn tD-Oh) and Patrick

The Northeast Missouri Health
Council recently awarded a $212,105
federal grant for the continued funding
of the Rural Health Initiative project,
which partially supports the KCOM
Rural Health Clinics.
The grant will contribute towards
the total project cost of $731,048.
Funding for the remainder of the
project will be provided by National
Medical Enterprises, which is contri-"
buting $219,000, and by patient fees
collected from rural clinic visits.
The major emphasis of the project;
according to Phi|lip E. Messner, Ed.
D., RHI director, is the addition of
licensed osteopathic physicians to the
clinic's staff. Until last July the clinics
were staffed solely by student doctors
under the supervision of KCOM
faculty. Physicians who are currently
providing health care at the clinics are
Will Chamberlain, D.O., Wyconda;
Margaret Wilson, D.O., Green Castle;
Wayne Hawkins, D.O., assistant
medical director of the rural clinic
program. Bucklin and Browning;
Richard Mercer, D.O., associate
professor of pediatrics, Glenwood and
Downing; and Janise Denton, D.O.,
who is at the Brashear Clinic uder the
direction of Marlene Wagner, D.O.,
assistant profeaor of general practice
and RHI medical director.
Patty John, assistant RHI project
director, said the communities have
been very receptive to the new
physicians. She said the communities
finally have a physician who they can
call "their doctor." Having a full-time
physician also gives continuity for the
patients. "Before the changes in the
RHI project," said Johns, "the clinic's
staff changed every four months where
as now patients e, aa visit the clinic and
see an esteopathie dtor they know
and who is acquainted with their
medical history."
The licensed physicians also provide
the opportunity to track certain
conditions and diseases. This prevent-
ive technique of tracking allows the
physician to prescribe a treatment for
such conditions as smoking, alcohol-
ism, nutrition and hypertension and
then follow the patients progress over
a certain period of time.
Another change created by the RHI
project is the addition of a sliding fee
scale for the billing and collecting of
rural clinic fees, Dr. Memmer said the
fee can be seen as a mechanism that
allows the clinic to reduce the cost of
health care for the patients.

stamp benefits in households that
receive federal assistance with their
heating bills. Danforth and seven
colleagues are canvassing the Senate
for votes to preserve food stamp
benefit levels threatened by cuts to
offset aid with home heating bills.
"It would be unconscmnable to force
a choice of 'heat or eat' on the poorest
Americans," Danforth said. "congress
established the energy assistance
program in 1980 with the clear
intention that energy assistance would
not be counted against benefits under
other federal programs. Our amend-
ment to preserve food stamp benefits
would reaffirm this intent.
"Under the pending bills, states with
the coldest winters would suffer the
greatest reductions in benefits. It is
not reasonable to expect states with
the coldest winters to carry significant
reductions in the nation's basic
nutrition program-during a season
when adequate nutrition is especially
critical to good health."
Under pending budget and farm
legislation, food stamp benefits would
be cut an average of $14.70 per month
nationwide in households that receive
aid with heating bills under the Low
income Home Energy Assistance
Program. An estimated 5.5 million
households would lose benefits nation-
wide.
In Missouri, the bill opposed by
Danforth would bring an average
monthly cut of $16.80 in more than
88,000 households, by estimate of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. The maximum reduction in
benefits would be $28.80 per month.
Joining Danforth in seeking support
for an amendment to preserve existing
benefits were Senators Tom Eagleton
(D-Mo.I. Robert Stafford R-Vt.i, John
Heinz R- Pa.L Alfonse D'Amato
(R-N. y.;, Edward Kennedy (D-Me.),
John Glenn tD-Oh) and Patrick

The Northeast Missouri Health
Council recently awarded a $212,105
federal grant for the continued funding
of the Rural Health Initiative project,
which partially supports the KCOM
Rural Health Clinics.
The grant will contribute towards
the total project cost of $731,048.
Funding for the remainder of the
project will be provided by National
Medical Enterprises, which is contri-"
buting $219,000, and by patient fees
collected from rural clinic visits.
The major emphasis of the project;
according to Phi|lip E. Messner, Ed.
D., RHI director, is the addition of
licensed osteopathic physicians to the
clinic's staff. Until last July the clinics
were staffed solely by student doctors
under the supervision of KCOM
faculty. Physicians who are currently
providing health care at the clinics are
Will Chamberlain, D.O., Wyconda;
Margaret Wilson, D.O., Green Castle;
Wayne Hawkins, D.O., assistant
medical director of the rural clinic
program. Bucklin and Browning;
Richard Mercer, D.O., associate
professor of pediatrics, Glenwood and
Downing; and Janise Denton, D.O.,
who is at the Brashear Clinic uder the
direction of Marlene Wagner, D.O.,
assistant profeaor of general practice
and RHI medical director.
Patty John, assistant RHI project
director, said the communities have
been very receptive to the new
physicians. She said the communities
finally have a physician who they can
call "their doctor." Having a full-time
physician also gives continuity for the
patients. "Before the changes in the
RHI project," said Johns, "the clinic's
staff changed every four months where
as now patients e, aa visit the clinic and
see an esteopathie dtor they know
and who is acquainted with their
medical history."
The licensed physicians also provide
the opportunity to track certain
conditions and diseases. This prevent-
ive technique of tracking allows the
physician to prescribe a treatment for
such conditions as smoking, alcohol-
ism, nutrition and hypertension and
then follow the patients progress over
a certain period of time.
Another change created by the RHI
project is the addition of a sliding fee
scale for the billing and collecting of
rural clinic fees, Dr. Memmer said the
fee can be seen as a mechanism that
allows the clinic to reduce the cost of
health care for the patients.
