Home Care expands to Wingham
As of December 1, two co-ordina-
tors from the Huron County Home
Care Program will be working out
of the Wingham Office of the
Huron County Health Unit at 348
Josephine Street, Wingham.
Joanne Jasper, Director of Home
Care, said the move was made to
provide better service for clients in
the north of the county. “Huron
County is a large geographic area
to serve,” she says, ‘and we
believe by locating Darlene Bogie
and Laurie Swan in the Wingham
Health Unit office this will make
our programs and co-ordinators
more responsive to our con
sumers.” Jasper also commented
that several of the Home Care
physiotherapists and speech path
ologists have been working out of
the Wingham office since it opened
last Spring.
Darlene Bogie, R.P.Dt., B.A.Sc.,
is a registered dietitian who has
been with the Home Care Program
for two and a half years and will
now be the Co-ordinator for Howick
and Turnberry Townships. In addi
tion, Darlene provides nutrition
services for the whole Home Care
Program in Huron County. Darlene
believes that “moving to the
Wingham office will ease accessi
bility to the excellent array of
programs and services available for
clients in North Huron.”

Jacques Brel has created 25 spell
binding songs that bounce back
and forth across that familiar thin
line between laughter and tears.
The songs, written and originally
sung in French by Jacques Brel, a
Belgian-born troubadour, were
gathered togather and translated to
English by Eric Blau and Mort
Shuman to create a musical on
stage. Each song is a drama in
itself, aimed always at the heart,
expressing life and love, truth and
beauty, nobility and hypocrisy,
aging and living.
Jacques Brel was bom in Bel
gium in 1929. In the 1960’s, he
became the leading chansonnier or
Laurie Swan R.N. will be familiar
to many people as she has 11 years
of experience working in various
communities in Huron County, six
years as a community nurse, two
years with Veterans Affairs and
two years as a Home Care Co
ordinator. She will be serving
clients in Wingham as well as East

“troubadour pop” singer and
song-writer of France, the author of
nearly 300 soul-searching songs.
He gave two concerts (in French) in
New York, one in 1965 and the
other in 1967, which, due to an
unsuspected underground of ad
mirers who had been collecting his
French-made records, were sold
out in advance. Marlene Dietrich
called Brel “the greatest singer in
the world”. In 1969 he gave up
performing to concentrate on song
writing and that same year he
returned to New York to see on
stage what his friends and Ameri
can adaptors had done with his
material. He was delighted with
their effort. His work remains
impassioned and powerful, capable
of stirring an audience almost to a
frenzy.

“There is a wealth of services
available to meet the needs of the
public,” Laurie says. “As co-ordi-
nators, we act as liaison between
Home Care and these community
services, which results in improved
care for existing and future
clients.”
