ap LAS Ae rm SLI "e. TW TA 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., September 26, 1979 Observe Nurses Week in Ont. (From page 3) As a school nurse, she coun- sels students about their stress-related problems such as neck pain, lack of sleep, and feeling 'uptight'. As a pre-natal teacher, she pre- pares expectant mothers and fathers for childbirth and family life. As a clinician, she can give advice about many 'catching' diseases, including VD. As a home visitor she can counsel a family who may be heading for trouble, whether it ha: do with money, diet, 86x,' drugs or illness. And, as an advisor, she can tell mothers what 'needles' their children need - and where and when to get them. letters Thanks for assistance Dear Sir: Camp Scugog is owned and operated by the United Church of Canada. It offers vacations to youngsters and adults who have not had much opportunity to explore the out-of-doors for any length of time. During our 1979 season, which has now ended, we had several canoe outtrips beginning on Lake Scugog and journeying as far as Seagrave on the Nonquon and as far as McLaren Creek near Cambray, by way of Scugog River and Sturgeon Lake. As well as canoeing trips, we have had walking excur- sions in the area visiting parks and a nearby farm. Throughout the entire summer we have been greeted kindly by the residents we have come in contact with and have been most pleased and touched by the thoughtfulness which has been extended towards us by the residents in the area. We wish to extend our deepest' appreciation to all those who played a part in aiding Camp Scugog this past summer. God bless you all. In Christian Camping, Wendy Sturgeon Director 1979 A public health nurse works pretty much on her own, although a lot of her work is done in concert with other community services, such as Children's Aid, Home Care and Meals on Wheels. PHN's work in hospitals and doc- tors' offices, too, and pass on observations and recommen- dations to their team back at the local Health Unit (their headquarters) about the need to follow up on a patient if, for any reason, that patient needs her services in the home. Most of the work of a PHN comes from referrals from other agencies or relatives of an older person or families with health problems. A caseload (each nurse handles anywhere from 20 to 60 'cases') may consist of a selection of people of all ages, each with a unique problem that affects his or her own life or the lives of others. As university- trained Registered Nurses, PHNs have the knowledge and' experience to deal with a wide range of problems that may not be serious enough-to put a person in hospital but are of great concern to families and individuals. More to the point, though, is the part they play in the prevention of illness - sadly, this part of their work goes largely unnoticed. Because she is so essential to the community well-being, it might be thought that the PHN is highly noticeable as she goes about her work. The opposite is true - the fact that she doesn't wear a uniform, combined with a pleasant, easy-going manner, means that the PHN can come and go prac- tically unnoticed, like a friend dropping by. come to think of it, many PHNs look upon their patients as friends - and the feeling is mutual. Perhaps that is why they are so good at their jobs. John Rose hired as YMCA co-ordinator The Durham YMCA has appointed John Rose as full- time program co-ordina- tor for the Townships of Scugog, Brock and Ux- bridge. Mr. Rose, who will be set- ting up an office in Port Perry, said last week that he has plans to expand the YM- CA programs already in operation such as nursery and pre-school and crafts. He also hopes that other programs can be added such as recreation for teens, ath- letic leadership classes and fitness courses. Mr. Rose was formerly with the Community YMCA in Fort Erie, Ontario. lense and then return. (From page 5) obvious that the lense was not going to be found, so I returned to the table and unfolded my sad story to the guys. Having pity on my state, they both took their turns in the washroom looking for the lense, with no luck. So after dinner, I decided to drive back to Port Perry, get my spare This all sounded quite easy, except when I started to drive home, I had this weird picture appear before me. The glare from the street and car lights in front of me, combined chotterbox with clear vision from one eye and impaired vision from the other made it very difficult to estimate distance and speed. Well to make a long story short, I drove home with one eye open and the other closed. And if you have never tried to wink for twenty minutes you should try it. Every muscle in your head tries to pry that eye back open, and although they weren't successful, by the time I got home I had the most powerful and sore eyelids in town. | But the story has a happy ending. I was successful in making it home, replaced the lense and headed off to Oshawa for a great evening of entertainment.
