May 5, 1982 -- 17 Crisis Centre plans series of workshops The Scugog Crisis Centre is working with a Secretary of State Grant to organize three public information nights, to discuss the in- crease in violent crimes. Tamarah Ross-Petrie of Port Perry has been hired by the centre to organize and facilitate the three separate workshops. Each will begin "at 8:00 pm. and refresh- ments and a break have been planned. "Due to the in- tensity of the topics under discussion and in light of the physcological impact of the films being shown, a break is felt to be very necessary." she said. The first workshop is scheduled for Monday, May 10 at the Uxpool Building. "Our first topic is Rape- Sexual Assault, and our aim is to cover the-broad area and all facits encompassed by the term Sexual Assault." says Ms. Ross-Petrie. The keynote speaker Jeannette Ross of the Crisis Centre, will talk about public attitudes towards the highly contraversial issue. The film is a NFB production 'A 00000000880 000880080000080080880008800008808000800800. Scream from Silence" and there will also be a dis- cussion of victim rights, current and proposed law changes and how to lessen the likelyhood of being a victim yourself. According to Ms. Ross- Petrie, the film was_ chosen with the intention of trying to make the people more aware of the violence of the crime and the intense trauma of the woman violated. The second workshop entitled 'Battered Women' has as the keynote speaker Trudy Don from Interval House in Toronto, and includes the film 'Loved, Honoured and Bruised." This evening is geared towards offering women alternatives to mental and physical abuse and what can be done about it. The topic of the third and final workshop is "Incest." The keynote address will be given by Wenda Woodman from Peterborough Rape Relief and the film is "Incest, the Victim Nobody Believes."

Rape was twenty years ago says Ms. Ross-Petrie. 'People tend to close their eyes to the problem and hope that it will go away." The option to have the workshops in Uxbridge was because of the response that the Scugog Crisis Centre has always been in that area. According to Ms. Ross- Petrie, the community seems to be more willing to discuss the issues and has shown more interest in the speaking and public aware- ness programmes presented in the past. When asked what the main objectives were in staging the three evenings around such controversial subjects, Ms. Ross-Petrie said, "Our aim is to further enlighten the professional community and to create greater aware- ness in the general public." "I personally would like to see a great attendance at each of the three seminars. We have done a great deal of advertising and spent a lot of time and energy to make these three evenings a learning experience for the community. People have a responsibility not only to themselves, but to their children. I myself want and do take an active part in making the community safe and free of these problems for my child." Only through increased public awareness do we have hope. For the dates and times of the above workshop, see elsewhere in the paper.

Nursing Week starts May 10 Nurses perform one of the most essential roles in society ... They are there when people are born, when crisis strike and when they die. That's why they want to set aside one week in the year to remind the public of our continuing contribution to the community, explained Mrs. Cecylia Barr, Regis- tered Nurse of Local 164 of the Ontario Nurse's Associa- tion. This year Nurse's Week is May 10-15. The theme of "Nursing Is ..."" highlights the enormous scope of nursing. Often people only think about nurses in a hos- pital situation. But nurses also make a vital contribu- tion in public health units, in clinics, homes for aged and nursing homes, said Mrs. Barr. They're no longer re- stricted to a cap and uniform. Nurses are in skidoo suits in northern outposts and in military uniforms in foreign countries. During Nurse's Week, there are a variety of oppor- tunities for the public to meet and talk to nurses about their profession and it's role in the local comm- unity: planned exhibits are a Blood Pressure and Weight Clinic at Dowsons Red and White- Mon.-Tues., 10-12 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.; Wed., Thurs., Fri. 10-12 a.m. and 6-8 pm. -- a poster contest at R.H.
