Newcastle Library Will be Renovated With the Fall Comes Apple Cider Season , ~-.fi ■ b A birthday party was held at the Bowmanville Lions Lions Centre on September 13 to celebrate two years of having the Lifeline service available in the Town of Newcastle. The Bowmanville Lions Club and the Lioness Lioness Club initiated the program and were instrumental in getting the service going here. They also provide all the funding for the service. The celebration was held for volunteers, Lifeline subscribers and their responders. responders. Cutting the cake are, from the left: Norma Lewis, past Lioness Club president; Richard Elston, Memorial Memorial Hospital Bowmanville president; Margaret VanDu- sen, Lifeline program manager; and Don Marsden, chairman of Lifeline for the Lions Club. by Andrea Adair Imagine what it would be like to be elderly or disabled,, living alone and fearful of having some physical accident accident with no one there to help you. For 50 seniors utilizing the Lifeline service, that fear has been eliminated. Margaret VanDusen, director director of Social Services and Lifeline program manager at Memorial Hospital Bowmanville Bowmanville says Lifeline is "allowing- "allowing- people who have problems to stay in the community community longer, rather than going into institutional care. $ Since the program began ' two years ago, 32 emergencies emergencies have been recorded. In each case, Mrs. VanDusen said, the emèrgency would have been worse without the lifeline. "People might not have been able to notify someone that they were having diffif. culties," she said. ; 1 i Here's how the -program works: Subscribers receive a Lifeline unit. (It costs $21 for an initial installation charge and either $21.50 or $26.50 a month rental depending depending on whether it is a regular model or a voice home communicator.) The unit includes a waterproof button that can be worn on a chain around the neck. 1 When' the person presses the button, it transmits a signal to the communicator in the home. The communicator communicator automatically dials the number for the Lifeline response response centre. At ' the response centre, the subscriber number and a file on the subscriber come up on a computer screen and those at the centre will either either call the subscriber or a responder to determine the problem. A responder, Mrs. VanDusen VanDusen said, is a friend, relative relative or neighbour who will go to help the subscriber in an emergency situation. The subscriber and the responder will make the decision decision on whether they want further emergency help. With the voice communicator, communicator, the patient can indicate indicate that decision directly to the response centre. Mrs. VanDusen said a subscriber need only use the service once to make it worthwhile. She mentioned one woman woman who decided she didn't need the service any longer, and quit. Alter much coaxing from her family and physician she reinstalled it and two weeks later was in a situation situation where she was unable to breathe. She pushed the lifeline button and received help. The woman states that "Lifeline saved my life." All the funding for pur chasing the units, which cost approximately $800 each, as well as funding for the response centre, ana the- Lifetrack computer came the Bowmanville Lions and Lioness Lioness clubs. At the present time, 50 people are using the service. The program manager said the program emerged at the initiation of the Lions and Lioness Club who felt people in the community would benefit from something something like this. She stressed it was a collaborative collaborative effort between the club, the hospital and other community representatives. 4? * division or 7i irai Ontario iscT^j Siding, Soffits, Fascia, Capping .
