Community care workers
deserve recognition
To the Editor,
The week of Oct. 9-15 is
Community Care Worker Week, a
time to recognize the impact of com-
munity care workers.
"Research demonstrates that home
and community care programs help
to reduce overall system costs;
improve health outcomes; and pro-
vide care that people prefer in appro-
priate settings," says the Canadian
Home Care Association.
Personal Support Workers (PSWs)
assist clients of all ages and diag-
noses to remain in their homes by
providing a broad range of support
services, such as personal care, home
maintenance, meal preparation,
caregiver relief and palliative care.
Home and community care is vital
to the success and sustainability of
our health care system, and commu-
nity care workers are dedicated to
providing effective, high quality care
to help clients remain where they
most frequently wish to be - in their
own homes.

Blyth concert w
To the Editor,
When I was a child my mother
took me to many concerts ,and
recitals. I have been forever
grateful for the love of classical
music that was instilled in me.
If you love music, you should
know about the inspiring concert
coming to Blyth Memorial Hall on
Wednesday, Nov. 2 when violinist
Scott St. John and pianist Jamie
Parker perform familiar classics
by Mozart, and Beethoven.
ill be inspiring
This summer I travelled to hear
Parker and the Gryphon Trio dur-
ing the Kincardine Summer
Music Festival. He's the lively
pianist performing with St. John
and he shouldn't be missed. To
have him playing in Blyth will be
a thrill for anyone who enjoys
good classical music and an inspi-
ration to all aspiring musicians.

Oktoberfest is about
more than the beer
The band
stands on
stage dressed
in their
ridiculous
looking
lederhosen,
socks up to
their knees,
with a big
feather sticking out of their dif-
ferent coloured hats.
The band leader, polka king
Walter Ostanek, belts out a song
we've already heard 10 times
throughout the night, and at the
end looks out to the full arena
and screams, "Oktoberfest is
wunderbar."
This past Friday, I returned
home to Kitchener, to take part in
Oktoberfest, an event I promise
you, lives up to its slogan of being
the great Bavarian Festival.
This was my fourth year taking
part in the festivities, and this

year I think I
realized why, at
least in
Kitchener, it
has such an
overwhelming
appeal.
Being a
young adult
myself, you're
probably thinking I enjoy it
because of all the drinking that
goes on, but that's not the case.
Not even the fact that I have
German background makes me
feel compelled to dish out the $15
for a ticket, and an amount I'm
not prepared to tell you, on beer.
I realized, maybe now more
than before because I've left
Kitchener, Oktoberfest is a night
with all my friends, along with
many more faces I haven't seen in
years.
Almost every step I took, I was
