M w~WeeW~Y Tfimesi W-Clnesday, July 9. 1997 -a' FROM AROUND HOME News from F KENDAL COLUMN byRy oretr Memorial Hospital C\ E by Phyllis Lowery In July of 1969 Neil Armstrong as lie stepped onto the surface of the moon said "One Small Step For Mani - One Giant Step For Mankind." 0f course to-day wlth the week-end anrival of the American robot-controlled- souped-up Mlcrowave on planet Mars the 1969 incident bas been out-gunned and out-dated. The out-gunning and out- dating is a matter of progress and a matter of life. We al share in the experlences. Stepplng off the steps of the Orono Brandi of the CIBO last week I could well have sald "One Small Step for the CIBO, One Giant Step for Roy-. I amn now- a carrier of a CIBC -Convenlence Card. A step In progress, so they say. Ail the wonders of the Automated Banking Machine is now at my finger tips and at any hour of the day or niglit. It was not my intention to step into the era of present- day technology. Rather it was a matter of necessity to at least carry the card. One Srnall Step for Roy. Having gone this far what lingers for me ti the future? Free Poetry Contest Open to Area Residents A cellular phione? If I'm ever going to reacli the pinnacle of a Baby Boomer thue cellular Is a must. Why I cari drive ail over the country and still keep i con- tact wltli ail my frlends. Wouldn't they enjoy that. There's Forrester again. But I must say it does look somewliat ridiculous and 1 have to wonder liow you dial, a requIrement i need of two hands. Have noted a lady weeding the flower garden witli-the plione to lier ear whlle anoth- er was a one-arm pai.nter. How did we get along in the past wlthout, the cellular phione. The ultimate of course Is carrying the cellular -in one hand and bottled water ti the other. This bottled-water thlng is really catching on. I neyer knew that so many people and even young people suffered from drouglit. There Is certain- ly a bigli thlrst factor within the Canadian population. At Karen Kaln's 'last fling' at the Hummingblrd Theatre a small bottle of water straiglit from France was selling for $2.50 and was selling well. It is best I forget about these wlde-world of wonders. It amounts to more baggage, a heavier load. It is back to visit the liuman tellers corne Friday. 1My venture Into the future is over. New physicians in" the area Two family physicians and one obstetrician/gynecologist will be establishing new prac- tices in the area, and will be affiliated wltli Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville.

Referrals to Dr. Caccia can be made starting in September througli a farn- ily Physician. She completed lier resi- dency at the University of Toronto, -and lias extensive obstetrical experience, a spe- cial, interest in adolescent gynecology, and infertlllty. She is fully laparoscopically trained (laparoscopy is abdominal surgery), witli vaginal surgery as well. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science witli five years of researchi prior to attending medical scliool. It lias been a couple of weeks since my last colurm, Summer is officially liere but this mornlng the temperature feels more like early Spring. I don't have mucli to report, and now that Churcli Services are being held at only one Churcli on the Sundays during July and August and are also at an earlier hour it Is not the eas- lest thing for me to attend. The last 2 Sundays we had Christenings i our faxnily at other Churclies. Next Sunday the Service wlll be at Kendal on the l3tli, at Newtonvllle on the 2th, 27tli Kendal. In August on the 3rd Newtonvllle, lOth Kendal, 1 7tli Shiloli, 24th Newtonville and 3l1st Kendal. Ail Services will start at 9:30 a.m. The Saturday Breakfast group are continuing to meet at 6:30 a.m. at Kendal, thiÊs group lias not missed a Saturday since November 1995..From what I have gatli- ered tliey have many lively discussions as they study Books of the Bible. This is hot just a Bible study-group, they also talk over ideas of how to make the Churcli better. It was from their plans that the Nursery and the re-modelmng of the kitchen was done and tliey did most of the work. The choir was also brouglit back to life from these meet- ings. The wliole feeling of entliusiasm from them lias had a great effect on the rest of the congregation. You do not have to be a member of Kendal Church to attend these Saturday morning breakfasts, if you are inter- ested, Just corne out at 6:30 a.m, they would welcome more members.. I will not be writing a regu- lar column evexy week over the summner but hope to start back in September when everything gets back to nor- mal but before I sign off remember MILES TO MANI- TO BA, well we didn't quite make it ail the way there, but we did make it to Kenora 1165 miles, that means that the Congregatuon of Kendal United Church were able to send $1165.00, to help out the flood victlms. Have a good summer, stay healthy, ta]k to you in the fall. P.
