1.n ekyleonsdyAgs 7 94- Another successful W.O.W. program at Clarke ôut gôome informati'on (just IlTe Roy would do - exactly like Roy would do) and the- questions running through my head weren't, I.what shail I ask", etc. they were t'oh my God I hope there's film in this camera and the batteries work." Up the street I go looking oh so professional, line up the shot, looks good, click, picture number 1. Now l'Il move over for a real good close-up, good, here we go, click, W R O N G, my fear camne true, nothing is happening. Great Roy's flot here Helen MacDonald needs the camera to take pictures, Carol-Ann needs it ta take vIctures at th, Horticultural Show and the Derry Day Parade, and it's flot WORKING! Monday morning arrives, development day. The girls have ail these write-ups for the pîctures they took and hoped tumned out. Elaine cornes into the office, guess what Chris your picture turned out. Great - picture no write up, just my luck. With the help of some of the downtown folkc, Elaîne was able to find out a contact for information. Hurry back Roy, this is too much pressure[ - Chris Time flices when you are having fun! The Worid of Work (W.O.W.) program that was running at Clarke High School again this summer is coming to an end. This program offered students 14-16 years of age, who may flot otherwise be able te find employment, the opportunity to get a job and earn sorme money over the summer. It aise offered training of job employability skills, field trips to places like Canada's Wonderland, special guest speakers, and much, much more. Mr. Mike Tait and Mrs. Jennifer Kearns would like to congratulate ail of the students by Roy Forrester "Sa ItHappens A gain!" It was almost a year and a haif ago that I prepared copy for "From Around Home" column in a hospital room on the 13th floor of St. Michaei's Hospital, Toronto. Neyer did 1 think it would happen again. The fact is yeu cannot predict the future for here I am, pea te paper, at Prince Edward County Hospital, Picton, writing another such article but this ime only on the second floor above street level. Sunday night and 1 have already spent four aad a haif days >of my heiidays la hespital. 1I have te say it has been peaceful, restfui, meals brought te the bedside, casual snacks and a back massage just before lights eut. The friendly atmosphere now brings Roy rather than Mr. Fnrrester. _Iwouid think by new you realize l'mn la a good mental and physicai condition, or at least wel enough, te enjey the good parts of this episode of my life. This isn't what I had planned for my holidays. -IL was te leave Orono Wednesday, 6 a.m., making deliveries te Bowmanville, Newcastle, Port Hope and then on te the Lake on the Mountain te spend some few heurs with Jim and Nancy, play nine heles of that- successfully completed the course. Ahl of them worked very hard and showed much improvement in various areas throughout the summer. On top of other benefits, the students will be awarded with 2 credits towards their high school degree for thcir efforts. Also, Mike and Jennifer would like to thank the local businesses that gave much ime and effort when taking these young peopleý on. Jungle Cat World, OLCO Service Station (Hlwy. # 115), Sit 'N Sip Coffee and Donuts, Newcastle IGA, Port of Newcastle Marina, Sheli Service Station (Heavy Haulers), golf with grandsons Jamie and Billy and then perhaps some sailing in the Wright's Albacere on the Lake on the Mountain. Late aftemnoon 1 would leave for Frontenac Park for four days of canoeing and camping. Then a return te Orono. Time of arrivai at the lake was right on schedule and the grandsons were waiting with their yard sale golf clubs. This wouid be the second time this year for this trio of duffers. But frst a checkwas madeof the sail boat and as everything seemed ship shape it was off te the golf course. Completing the first ef aine things began te happen. A stight pain down the right side ef the throat and the, upper part of the chest and a need te gasp for air. Sitting on the beach it was obvieus I wouid net'be playing more golf., Talked the beys inte continuing their play, and I would rest for awhile and go back te the car. That return was a long haif mile. Resting for ten minutes in the car I drove te the hospital ne more than three te four minutes away. Walking into the emergency it was packed with waiting patients. As ail had been registered I was taken for registration of credentials and problem. With this cempleted, 1 Canadian Tire, Edna Thompson's Day Care, and Ace Submarine al deserve a great deal of credit and thanks for their participation in this prograre. It was another very successful summer and will al wrap up with a final banquet for the students, parents, and' employers. Thanks again to al who were invoived!

The next hour was spent in preparing and inserting-a tube through the body wali up under the inside of the nib cage te the right lung cavity. As I understand taking the air out of this area of the body cavity will aliow the lung te f111 out again and hopefuliy repair itself. At this point ail I could think of "What have 1 done te deserve this." It was almost comical - work 51 weeks for a one week holiday and.... this is it?" What we do look for in life are experiences se I chalk this down as one, perhaps as interesting as the canoe trip would have been. More about this next week. About the kids - they phened home iooking fer grampa - Nancy phoned the hospital te fmnd him - a surprise. While the boss is away! 1Weii with Roy starting out te take holidays and ending up in hospital, you couid almost feel, something back here at the office was about te happen, and it did! It was beautiful Thursday morning, Donna was leaving the office te go home for lunch and motioned te me te come outside.
