COMMUNITY FEATURE
Shalom House II to be dedicated
By Ina Horwitz
What is dedication? It can
imply devotion to a specific
cause, work or duty. It can
involve earnest service and affection to those in need. It can
demonstrate one's intrinsic
values in performing a unique
purpose.
Shalom House I and II are
examples of true dedication.
The formal dedication of
Shalom House II will be held
on June 14 at the Wexner Heritage Village Annual Meeting.
But the purest sense of dedication, which focuses on the
uniqueness of each individual,
has been an ongoing experience since the first Shalom
House opened in February,
1987, on the Heritage Village
campus.
The 14 developmentally disabled adult residents who live
there have their own interests
and skills and are encouraged
to reach their maximum potential.
A primary goal is to enable
persons to be self-sufficient, to
live in the community on their
own. In the event they can't
reach this goal, they are assisted toward achieving the highest level of cultural and spiritual living they can, according
to Shalom House Director
Betty Tieman.
This same philosophy and
dedication will continue when
eight new individuals soon become residents of Shalom
House II, located at Haddon
Road and College Avenue.
Residents are scheduled to
move in around June 15, once
licensure and certification procedures are completed, said
Tieman. Shalom House I is licensed by the Ohio Depart
ment of Mental Retardation
and Developmental Disabilities, certified by the Ohio Department of Human Services, It
receives Medicaid funding.
However, private contributions are always welcomed and
needed as well as help of any
kind from the community, stated Shalom House treasurer for
1992-93, Herbert Glimcher,
who has played a major role in
the building of both homes.
"Shalom House II is the natural outgrowth of continued
care Heritage Village has established," said new Heritage
President Sanford Goldston,
who will be officially installed
at the annua! meeting. "Until
the first residence was built, the
needs of those who develop-
mentally could use assistance in
completion of daily living tasks
and continued educational programming were not adequately
being taken care of. The demand is greater than people
realize and continues to exist."
Glimcher said there are
over 1,000 people in Franklin
County alone who have a need
for a residential facility of this
nature.  "These  homes are
non-sectarian, and we hope to
have more built in the future
to help these individuals and
particularly to secure peace-
of-mind for their families," he
said.
Heritage Executive Vice-
President Gerald N. Cohn
noted that from his visits to
other partsof the country. Columbus seemed to be clearly
the only Jewish community of
this size to meet this need.
Also, according to Tieman,
both Shalom Houses are the
only facilities in the Central
