A barbecue planned for 2nd floor ladies was cancell- ed due to the weather_ It is hard to believe that summer is passing by so quickly, and before long, we will be slipp- ing into the fall months. Van rides were on the agenda for Wednesday and some men residents had an outing in the morning. In the afternoon, the ladies went for a tour around the coun- tryside and stopped off at Bellview Farms, Goderich. While there, they were treated to apples and peaches through the courtesy of the Bell family. On Monday, the weather t dampened the spirits r somewhat and outdoor ac- c tivity was cancelled. But t Tuesday everything was go- d ing well, and the ladies from 2nd floor enjoyed their n barbecue of hamburgs and hot dogs. Thursday afternoon was the scene of a successful yard sale, held on the lawn in front of the building here. Thanks to all those people, who kindly donated the many articles on display.

The Bible study was given by Mrs. Prouty. Friday afternoon, the ladies on Ground Centre gathered around the piano and listened to music provid- ed by Frank Bissett. We also had the pleasure of hearing Miss Greta Laramie play the piano. Greta is a new resi- dent and was for some years, a music teacher. Though she is blind now, she still enjoys playing the piano. To round out the day, bingo was held and some of the ladies took part in ceramic class. Sunday morning worship on August 28 was held in the Huronview auditorium.

(Frank Philips photo ) Palliative Care officially recognized as a service BY CONNIE OSBORN Palliative Care — the ac- tive compassionate care of the terminally ill and long term disabled, which always existed at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, officially became a recognized service at the hospital in March 1982. A program was developed to supplement the already ex- isting quality of care that the patient is receiving from health care professionals. While palliative care pro- grams are important, it is the people that make it work. It involves all who work in the hospital from the kitchen staff and dietitian to the ad- ministrator and the board, Doctors, nurses and volunteers have a bigger job than just providing medical care. They spend time and energy helping the patient and family with the emo- tional trauma that accom- panies a terminal illness. The free, hospital-based, service is a department of the hospital and has a two pronged thrust: education and service. There is on-going educa- tion for staff and volunteers as well as public education through the media and by speaking engagemerits. A palliative care Library has been developed and includes books, cassettes, resource files and pamphlets. The first year of service assisted 40 families with the help of six trained volunteers. They actively gave support to patients and families in their homes totalling over 200 hours of home visiting. In organizing and im- plementing the service, over 3000 volunteered hours were given by both professionals and volunteers. This figure involves co-ordination, meetings, training, speaking engagements, publicity and in-hospital visiting. While the quantity of time volunteered is important, the focus is on the quality of time spent with the patient and family. Volunteers come from all walks of life and bring an amazing array of gifts that complement the core profes- sional team. The service at- tracts both men and women. Their role is not to replace staff or family but to give emotional and physical sup- port when needed. They are of special value when the pa- tient has no family nearby. Their primary goal is the establishment of a relation- ship of friendship with the patient and family. There are presently ten ac- tive volunteers and a third training program will begin on September 20th at 7:00 p.m. in the hospital Board room. The course will run one evening a week for eight weeks and will conclude on November 8. The workshops are assisted by medical and other personnel and will focus on the various aspects of palliative care, including pain control and patient comfort, staff stress, grief and bereavement and childrens' concept of death. Hospital staff and communi- Making pickles is not dif- ficult. It's a matter of follpw- iris a' teSted'.' edipe, using fresh fruits ,and vegetables, a fresh supply of pungent spices and commercial vinegars, says Monica Beau- mont, foods and nutrition specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, rural organizations and ser- vices branch. Whatever you do, never alter a ; pickle recipe. The preserving agents used in the pickling process — vinegar, salt and sugar — are there, in a specific quan- tity, to prolong the keeping time of the product. They prevent the growth of spoilage organisms. Perfect pickles need prime ingredients which must be transferred quickly from the garden to the pickling solu- ty workers in this field are most welcome to attehd. Anyone from the im- mediate vicinity to whom this rewarding type of work might appeal is asked to con- tact the co-ordinator, Connie Osborn at 524-7184. Aral die F CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1983—PAGE U ti n says run 'k driver action neede Last weekend, you and your fancily were gett packed and ready to fight lave traffic back from the cot- tage. It was a hot summer day. Did you pour yourself another cool drink for the road? A friend was at one of your backyard barbecues. You were a bit worried. You knew he was too drunk to drive home safely, but he said he'd be all right. id you try to stop him? The Addiction Research Foundation wants the public to "THINK ABOUT IT" — to THINK ABOUT drinking and driving problems. And to take action i to reduce them. As part of the "THINK ABOUT IT" campaign, the Foundation has distributed public ' service an- nouncements to radio sta- tions throughout Ontario featuring lifestyle vignettes similar to the ones above. They were created to trigger awareness of the impact alcohol can have on every- day events — events such as driving, boating, swimming and barbecues — where too much alcohol can spoil the fun. Summer vs. Christmas In an earlier news release (July 22, 1983), the Founda- tion pointed out that the sum- mer is a more dangerous time for drinking and driv- ing than the winter. And yet, the public may still think that drinking and driving hazards are higher around the Christmas season. But, the latest statistics from the Metropolitan Toronto Police support the Foundation's earlier staterhent. In 28 days of July of this year, there were 147 alcohol- related accidents in Metro Toronto alone as compared to 28 days of December, 1982, when there were 100. That's about a 50 percent increase during the summer. Serious crashes increase substantially during the summer (June to September) for all of Qn- tario. And, alcohol is fre- quently involved in these serious crashes. Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications (MTC) data for 1981 show that only 9 percent of all crashes (ie. fatal, per- sonal injury and property damage accidents) are alcohol-related while 30 per- cent of all fatal crashes are alcohol-related. This is significant because the more serious the crash, the more likely alcohol is involved. The Labor Day weekend, which for many people is the last chance to enjoy the sum- mer season, is particularly dangerous. According to the latest MTC (1981) figures for all of Ontario, the Labor Day weekend had the most fatalities and injuries (45) of all long weekends. That's about one traffice injury or death every 13/4 hours. Reducing the Risk Despite the risks, there are ways to reduce the chance of being involved in an alcohol-related crash. Drinking alcohol -free beverages is one way. Another good rule to remember, if you are drink- ing alcohol and have to drive, is to limit yourself to less than one standard drink per hour. That is the time re- quired for the average per- son to overcome the effects of the alcohol since that's how long it takes the body (liver primarily) to get rid of the alcohol and its effects. And don't take one for the road. Remember, food will delay the full impact of alcohol. But, be aware that the delay may mean that the full impact of the alcohol reaches its peak when a per- son gets into a car to drive. Allow enough time to become sober after the last drink — that is, more than one hour per standard drink. Prepare Perfect Pickles tion. The fruits may be slightly underlripe, bat.the vegetables 'should be ully ripe.' Never use fruits or vegetables that show evidence of mold. To prepare the fruits and vegetables, wash them carefully with a soft brush under cold running water. Soaking the produce results in a loss of flavor and nutrients. Fresh spices are impor- tant; spices may lose some flavor after being opened. Vinegar is important for its flavor and eserving; qualities. A h nlepije. vinegar may not have the needed acid strength to preserve, therefore, it is im- portant to use commercial vinegar in the quantity recommended. Light-colored pickles such as onions and cauliflower re- quire white vinegar, whereas darker pickles such as relishes are better with cider vinegar for that special flavor. Also, combining alcohol with antihistamines ( cold, cough and allergy remedies), marijuana, tran- quillizers, barbiturates, or "sleeping pills" can inten- sify the effects of these drugs to a dangerous degree. The use of alcohol alone, or in combination with any of the above drugs, impairs one's - ability to drive an automobile or boat, operate machinery, swim and per- form other similar ac- tivities. (If in doubt about the effects of combining alcohol with another drug ask your doctor or phar- macist ).
