Pinecrest will celebrate
15th anniversary
In the month of May, Pinecrest Manor
will be celebrating its 15th anniversary in
conjunction with Canada Health Day. This
is an annual nation-wide health promotion,
co-sponsored by the Canadian Hospital
Association and The Canadian Public°
Health Association. This year's theme is
"Health Promotion : Get Involved -
Volunteer".
Plan to come and help celebrate these
two occasions at open house May 13, 2 - 4
p.m.
There will be Mothers' Day flowers, tup-
perware display, tours, information and
lots of pictures from the past. Tea and
snacks will be served.
The residents, management and staff
extend sympathy to the families of Bob
Reid and Kelso MacNay.
Those celebrating birthdays in May are
Jessie Kirkland 79, Irene Huston 88, Vicky
Jones 89 and Becky Elliott 98.
This month Silverts Clothing was at
Pinecrest with their spring line of
fashions. Many residents enjoyed a day of
shopping.
The residents enjoyed the fellowship and
programs from the Chalmers Church
ladies who also brought the people who
celebrated a birthday in April a gift; the
Penticostal Church; Salvation Army and
the Lucknow Christian Reformed ladies,
who played bingo with them.
The annual dessert and card party was
held by the Eastern Star. This along with
our regular visits from Elmer Umbach,
Isabelle Shepherd, Thomasina Kelly, Ilene
Nesbitt, Marion Gamble and the shcool
children that visit regularly to sing or visit
their adopted grandprent, helps to keep
our residents in touch with the community.
The goal of Pinecrest is to have more
one-on-one volunteers to visit or go for
walks with the residents as they miss this
kind of friendship.
If you have a free hour a week and are
interested in volunteering please call
528-2820.
Pinecrest welcomes three new residents
to their family - Alice Proctor, Alex
Hackett and Alec MacKay.

How is AIDS transmitted?
This month I want to talk aobut how
AIDS is spread/transmitted. To date AIDS
has been spread in four known ways.
These are:
1. Intimate sexual activity with an infected
individual.
2. Sharing of contaminated IV drug
needles/syringes.
3. From infected mother to infant (before
or at birth, or during breastfeeding).
4. Through transfusion of infected blood or
infected blood products. (This is no longer
an avenue of great risk here in Canda
since, as of November 1, 1955, the Cana-
dian Red Cross screens all potential
donors and tests all donated blood).
The AID'S virus, HIV, has been isolated
in several body fluids. Semen, vaginal
secretions and blood are the funds which
seem to readily transmit the virus. 'The
other body fluids have not been linked to
the spread of HIV.
In order for the tans virus to be effec-
tively ,trapignitted from,the infected in-
dividual to anotherperson, the virus must
find its way out of the body of the infected
individual and into the :bloctrnasn of the
other r ,person. AIDS is not highly con -

tagious...it is not spread through casual
contact.
In Canada/Ontario, AIDS is primarily a
sexually transmitted disease, otherwise
called a "STD".
Just how does the HIV get into another
person's bloodstream via sexual
intercourse?
The lining of the mouth, vagina and/or
anus may have fresh microscopic breaks
that go unnoticed. These fresh breaks may
serveas a portof entry for the HIV. These
breaks may bleed; again often unnoticed,
thus °transmission may go either way.
