Wood Sculpture Fritz Bollbach, an immigrant from Germany, lost his vision years ago. He has a lot to lose with his sight, for he was a professional wood carver and cabinet maker. But he decided he had a lot to gain, and realized that he must keep working, so he built his home and a complete woodworking shop where he not only does his fine wood sculptury work but also tutors other handicapped persons to use the shops machinery. As a chess champion, Bollbach includes his love for the game with concern for the blind and one of his specialties is chess sets designed to enable the blind to play, along with a variety of other woodpieces. lf Photography Photographs by Curtis E.

This question was bandied about during Tuesdays county commission meeting. It was left unanswered for at least a week with Commissioner Malcolm C. Young to investigate the situation more fully and make a recommendation to his fellow officials. Mabel Yourt, representing the county council on aging, proposed that the county seek a grant to provide congregate (group) meals for its elderly. She said some $120,000 for this purpose has been set aside for rural counties at the state level. And it probably will go to two or three counties. Box Elder stands at. the head of the parade because it has completed a plan. However, application for a grant must be made prior to Nov. 15 with the grant period to cover a three-yea- r period. Already Served Mrs. Yourt said congregate meals already are being served to senior citizens once a week in Brigham City and Tremonton. She described the new program as one which would simply enlarge on the existing service. She said it would cost the county nothing. Commissioner Young said the grant would not be received unless the county appointed a director and I dont think we can get into a director on a county level. He conceded, however, that there is a real problem among the elderly in that they dont get adequate nutrition. Id recommend going ahead if we could director to take care of the get a part-tim- e nutrition program. If theyll let us hire some one like Mrs. Yourt then Im willing to go along, he states. , The grant would take care of a directors salary. Is Willing Mrs. Yourt said she was willing to become the director. She noted that weekly meals are now being served to from 70 to 150 persons each Friday at the Brigham City Community center under the senior citizens program. She stated further that the past year's survey of needs of the elderly in Box Elder county showed that 287 persons would be interested in congregate meals. Commissioner John Holgren said he didnt know enough about the proposed program to make a decision. Chairman Don Chase said It seems like everytime they want to give us money, it has to be decided next week, a crash program. These things need to be investigated and I don't think we can handle them as fast as they throw them at us. We dont have a budget for this. Theres nothing in the budget to hire a director. $375; Portage, $408; Snow ville, $493; Tremonton, $7,913; Willard, $2,960, and Yost, $144. A steering committee of the countys project on independent living has proposed that money from this source be used to purchase and renovate the Golden Spike motel in Brigham City as intermediate housing for the elderly. It is proceding to become a corporation and fill out the necessary form to utilize these funds - and others if not used by other counties - for the housing project. The motel purchase price has been set at $125,000 with another $25,000 projected to pay for renovation. Fifteen units would be established with partial service provided to the elderly occupants. Monthly rental would depend on how much state assistance is received. Some of the funds may have to come from a conventional bank loan, a spokesman explained. In total some $3 million in revenue sharing funds were earmarked state-wid- e for low income housing assistance. non-prof- In a related matter, it was noted that by action of the recent special session of the state legislature, that some $79,665 has e been allocated to Box Elder county for housing assistance.
