First nurses' reunion won't be the last From page six and Shirley Foster, organizers of the reunion were more than pleased with the excellent response. An incredible spread of nursing memorabilia, the best many had ever seen, will remain on display until the end of this week. The Royal Doulton figurine "My Love" was won by Jan Jancowski, a nurse at the hospital and Jenny Barter, a former nurse, won the commemorative book "Stitches . Scugog Citizen -- Wednesday, May 24, 1995 -- 7 a in Time" donated by Hospital Administrator, Dave Brown. Donated by Rae Robson, Chief Nursing Officer, the lap afghan was won by Wayne Moore, son- in-law of June Carnochan, also a nurse at the hospital. Coming the longest distance, PPHS murder mystery dinner The landscaping around the new recreational complex will be a lot greener thanks to the efforts of several Administrative Studies students in Mrs. Black's class at Port Perry High School. The students are co-ordinating a community fundraiser in the form of a Murder Mystery dinner in the school's cafeteria on June 2, starting at 6:30 p.m. The students promise it will be a night of entertainment, involving participation from the audience, as they become sleuths to determine who the murderer is in a drama/comedy written and performed by the senior drama students. Dressed in their costumes, the actors will mingle with the dinner guests throughout supper, offering clues as to the real murderer. A semi-formal affair, dinner consists of chicken with a special sauce and sweet 'n sour meatballs. Complete with green beans almandine, rice pilaf, tossed salad, tea, coffee and assorted cakes. At $20.00 per ticket, they can be purchased at the PPHS office, Jayson Callan Music Ltd. (formerly Irwin Smith Music) or any of the committee members. The student hope to donate $1,000. towards the landscaping at the new complex. ( 1) ONTARIO COMPUTER FAIR Over 50 exhibitors offering savings & selection In computers, software, peripherals.

Lynn Myrfield, a former nurse now residing in BC, was awarded a walking cane with her name engraved on a brass plate. Plans are to have the cane passed on to the person coming the longest distance at the next _ reunion. And the oldest and youngest were honoured as well. Arvella Phoenix, now 88 years old, was thrilled to be able to make it to the reunion and was awarded the commemorative book "Stitches In Time". Among the many pieces of memorabilia she loaned were her 1928 class picture, nursing pin and cap and her graduation picture. The youngest nurse on staff, Sue Dickson, was awarded a Precious Moments doll. In a chapter of the book "Stitches In Time", it tells of a senior medical staff member who dubbed the nurses, in fun, as "the ol' biscuits". "We've had a lot of laughs about the name over the years and there's still mention often of the 'ol biscuits" amongst the staff" Mrs. Foster said. It's hoped another reunion of the "ol biscuits" will be held again in another five to ten years.

SPORTS EYE INJURIES With the recent eye injury to Eric Lindros of the Flyers, | feel that more awareness among players and parents is required. 90% of sports eye injuries could be prevented with proper eye protection. Baseball and basketball have the highest incidence of sports eye injuries (each between 3000 - 4000 injuries per year in the USA) due to a lack of mandatory eye protection ulations. n Canada over the past 10 years, 700 eye injuries have resulted from racquet sports such as squash, racquetball and tennis - 30 have resulted in blindness. In racquetball, the ball travels between 85 - 110 mph and is responsible for 90% of racquetball injuries. In China, badminton is a popular sport, and is one of the leading causes of eye Injury. rts which involve fast moving balls, birdies or pucks have the potential for more serious, blinding eye injuries; basketball eye injuries sare usually less serious and typically involve fingernail scratches of the eye's surface which are only potentially vision damaging. Since 1972 there have been 285 recorded cases of Canadian hockey players losing sight in one eye. These are usually kids on frozen ponds, old-timers or talented junior players. When you suddenly become blind in one eye, you may be able to see clearly with the other eye, but in sports more is required than just clear vision. Co! vision that are lost are peripheral vision, or) ability, 'depth perception and the ability to accurately judge distance of moving targets. These deficits will seriously impair athletic ability. As well, an NHL bylaw prohibits one-eyed players from entering the league. Most athletes are serious about their training, but few take into account the role vision plays in their overal ( performance. They react immediately w When they pull a muscle, yet take their eyesight for g that eye protection be used in a 'sports to avoid risking your v vision, ose who have suffered eye injuries should have thoi rough eye assessment of the internal and external eye, and of the eye muscles as well. Because the emphasis Is on eye care rather than Just eyewear!
