It takes weeks or months for them to accept new things. Our patient treatment is vital to their well-being, yet this support link is being threatened." A paratransit rider, Dorothy Hoppe of Hammond, said, "I'm begging that you increase the point system (for paratransit projects) so we can get more money to run the service. We live in a high concentration of elderly and handicapped who are trying to get to hospitals and care facilities." The planning commission was criticized by the Lake County Equal Opportunity Commission for not reviewing the method of providing operating funds for the LCEOC and the Tradewinds Rehabilitation Center. A spokesman for Tradewinds said the allocation was fair. The Gary Public Transportation Corp.

requested funding for the proposed bus route connecting the downtown areas of Hammond, East Chicago and Gary. A spokesman said such projects could be funded from money set aside for improving air quality and relieving traffic congestion. "This process was unusual and was brought about by changes in the federal legislation," said NIRPC Deputy Director Dan Gardner. "The most telling thing was the time constraints we were under." Gardner said the point formula for rating projects will be reviewed and an effort will be made to make the planning process more inclusive and fan-to everybody. No matter how fair the formula is, there isn't enough money for all the needs, he said.

"I think we'll see a real push for people to use this connection, and over time it will be used heavily." About 200 people attended the ceremonies, which included a look at the new South Shore cars, the first of 17 the district is receiving from Sumitomo of America.

Dennis Faulkenberg, INDOT deputy commissioner for inter-modal transportation, said the new terminal is one of the first in the country with access to all modes of travel. "It's a good feeling that Indiana has one of the first," he said. "The potential is great. It makes South Bend and Indiana an alternative for the Chicago work force. Indiana is a great place to live and work, and now it is easier to get to." Now that the station project is done in South Bend, Hanas said the district will turn its attention to the major station renovations in Hammond and East Chicago and to other improvements that will reduce the travel times.

"It will depend on funding, but we would like to start as soon as possible," he said. "We will work with Metra to improve speeds and make sure commuters have the times from Northwest Indiana to Chicago that we know can compete with and beat the auto travel times." able, so the Bushes decided to build a retirement home on the lot two doors down from the Fitch home. When Fitch sold them the 33-foot-wide lot, he gave them an option to buy an additional 4,320 square feet, which they will do, he said. Fitch described the house he will rent to the Bushes as "substantial," but just a "regular house." The two-bedroom, clapboard home has an appraised tax value of $367,200. nation's highest 1930.

The smart people in Northwest Indiana are going to be heading east to find their fame, fortune and cheaper flights. "Fve always felt there was a real market in Northwest Indiana for our aviation services if we could let the people know we were here and if there was an easy way to get here," John Schal-liol, Michiana Regional Airport director said Friday following the opening of the airport's new South Shore commuter train terminal.

The $1.8 million terminal, which will replace the South Shore's Bendix terminal near the airport, will enable people to take the train directly to the airport terminal and directly to their flight. "I'm just thrilled," Schalliol said. "This is the culmination of 18 years of work, disappointment and raised expectations. We now are a true transportation center. If we market it properly, I see people who are going east taking the train to the airport." "From our point of view, this will be the third Chicago airport," said St.

Joseph County Council President Phillip Barkley, a NICTD board member. "This is the second largest in Indiana. In the past, all the thinking was from South Bend to Chicago. Now it will be from the state line to South Bend." Schalliol said the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District, which owns and operates the South Shore, is changing its train schedules to match the airline schedules to make it even more convenient. "I'm a firm believer that the service will grow," Schalliol said.

"It won't happen overnight, but we're willing to work at it. Also, St. Joseph County will be sending a lot more people into Chicago." NICTD General Manager Gerald lianas said that with the new terminal offers Northwest Indiana residents now have a viable alternative to driving to Midway or O'Hare airports in Chicago.

By PHIL WIELAND Times Staff Writer HIGHLAND About a dozen operators of transit services for the elderly and disabled on Friday protested the proposal for spending Northwest Indiana's share of the federal transportation funds for 1993. The public hearing on the Transportation Improvement Plan for Lake, Porter and La-Porte counties was held at the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission office. The plan lists priorities for funding for both transit and highway projects for the coming year. The commission is expected to approve the plan Wednesday. Spokesmen for the Porter County Association for Retarded Citizens, Tri-City Mental Health and the Lake County Association for the Retarded said the lack of funding for paratransit services could mean they will no longer be able to operate.

The biggest concern was the ability to replace vans with high mileage. One complained that the larger public transit operators, which also receive money from fares, received both operating funds and funds for buying new equipment. Carolyn Keegan of PCARC said her group was not a part of the committee that decided how the funding was to be spent and didn't have a voice in approving the point system that was developed to rate projects as objectively as possible by the commission. The mother of an autistic man who receives PCARC transportation said she was worried that her son and the 250 others who regularly ride the agency's vans would not be able to get to jobs or other locations. Dee Bennett, a driver for Tri-City, said, "The majority of our clients cannot drive due to medication or illness.
