PROMOTING PROGRAMS TO HELP THE HOMELESS PERSONS
Big Timber Graphics 12 East Main St. East Dundee IL. 60118
Will sell space for ads, this we hope will pay for the printing cost of the paper.
A percentage will go into a fund to help our fellow residents.
Trinity News is a paper that shows that we need to get things done, and the keys to obtain it. The homeless people have the solution to their problems. But have failed to get the tools to obtain it. With this paper we hope that lots of homeless people will get a fresh start, to get their lives on the right path.
And a little help from the Churches (GODS COMMUNITY)
Then A little help from the people (WORKING COMMUNITY)
The problems will at least start to end. With GODS help...
In July of 1997 the Elgin P.A.D.S., under the Directorship of Karen Blatt, was in the midst of seeking a new site location since they lost their extended lease at the Salvation Army. She met much opposition from the community residents on the Southeast side of Elgin. She deemed this particular building the perfect facility for the 1997-1998 winter months. This area was already overly stressed with houses, businesses, apartment buildings and industry. Some Elginites were highly compassionate when it came to understanding that the homeless need a place to receive assistance, however the overwhelming "word" was that they did not want this shelter in "their" neighborhood.
Above and beyond the resistance from the neighborhood associations, Elgin P.A.D.S. had to receive approval from the "Conditional Use Zoning Board" since the desired site was within the confines of an industrial complex and would be utilized for human occupancy. The attempt failed. The next step was to approach the Elgin City Council who turned down the proposed shelter, leaving the homeless without a local refuge from the impending cold winter months.
Although there are six "soup kitchens" within the walls of local churches, they are not zoned to accommodate showers nor sleeping quarters for the indigent sufferers. Elgin P.A.D.S., did, however, manage to facilitate opening the doors for twenty over-night quests. Their average guest total was sixty-five unduplicated guests, per night, in previous years. Now they are only able to assist less than one-third of this number that is not even close to the multitudes that are still experiencing the cold, heartless streets.
It is very difficult for those who are compassionate to refuse entry to even one guest. At the time they P.A.D.S. had the Salvation Army site, due to occupancy restrictions, they had to turn people away. In our world of high-technology, industrial advancement and extended education, one would wonder why we still have not learned to accommodate our poor to the utmost.
When the homeless are turned away due to over-crowding of a site, some of them pray to be found by the police who will buy them a bus ticket, sending them to Rockford homeless shelters. These locations are also overly populated. Continued next month.

This month Something different By Joyce
Hello: I thought that I would Do something different, a poem that I had found.
IF I KNEW By Unknown
Whisper in there ear,
Tell them that you love them,
And you'll always hold them Dear.
For tomorrow is promised no one,
Young and old alike,
And today may be your last chance,
To hold your loved one Tight.
Thank You,
With Love Joyce

POEMS OF THE STREET
Poem # 1
FRIENDSHIP OR RELATIONSHIP
It truly feels good that in life,
One can seek and sometimes wonder.
I met this young lady and she,
Seems to touch me in a way none has in such a very long time.
I can't say that it's in her look,
Or even in her smile,
But it's there all awhile.
I would like to call her Dear Love.
But that would not be right.
For she may not wish to be,
Part of this.
So I'll move slow not to play
That he man role.
For this I'm not.
I'll just be me.
Perhaps she'll like what she sees.
To have a base of
Understanding to build on.
Whether it be a friendship
Or relationship.
This we must keep open and see.
And in wonder I'll see.
Keep it open to understand and be.
Poem #2
SO FAR AWAY:
You asked me to tell you.
The things I love about you.
So if you are ready.
Kick off your shoes as I began.
I love the way you touch my shoulder.
As I set in the chair.
The way you hold me close,
When I feel sad.
I love the way you don't answer my questions.
That gets me so upset.
I love the way you get angry,
But the quiet treatment will pass.
I love the way you look at me.
As in a sleep.
I love the way you look at me.
After that wink you dread.
I love the way you touch me.
In that special way.
I love your arms about me.
Every single day.
I love the way you say.
I miss you!
It's been a nice day.
But right now I miss you.
And you seem so very far away!
