MOSPORT OPENS - There should be loads of action around and on the track at Mosport Park this weekend when the first of a number of sports car events will be held. This one which will be run on Monday, May 23rd is appropriately labelled the Victoria Day Sprints. by Carolyn Hepburn A person living on his own often runs the risk of having no one around in an emergency. Should that person fall or simply require assistance of any kind, it can be difficult to get outside outside help. The Lifeline System which will be installed shortly at Memorial Hospital, Hospital, Bowmanville, will change all that. The Bowmanville Lions and Lioness Lioness Clubs have pledged $30,000 towards towards the purchase of 25 home units for the system, as well as the base station station and computer to be installed at the hospital. The premise of the project is very simple. A small pendant-sized box is worn around the neck on a chain or around the wrist with a strap. If and when a person needs help they simply press the button on the necklace. That will immediately activate the home unit attached to the telephone and the Emergency Response Center will be called. The hospital will then contact one of three available "helpers" - prechosen prechosen people with access to the client's home - to go to the residence and check on the occupant. If it is a false alarm the home monitor is simply simply reset. If it is more serious, the respondent respondent contacts the hospital and the appropriate help can be sent. In the case that a person cannot manage to activate the system by the pendant, then a timer on the home unit will alert the hospital and the emergency response procedure will begin. Lifeline will offer great independence independence to people who might otherwise have to remain in a hospital or nursing nursing home. Sonia Peczeniuk, Memorial Hospital's Hospital's Director of Nursing, explained in an interview last week that the growing population of older residents in the Town of Newcastle is making, greater demands on the local health care system. She notes that the Town of Newcastle has a greater than average average number of people over the age of 65. "Lifeline is a confidence builder," explained Ms. Peczeniuk.
