Caregivers support group forming•
BY DAVID SCOTT
Expositor Staff
Caring for the caregiver. That was
the message of the Caregiver's
Support Program held Feb. 10 at
the Woman's Resource Centre in
Seaforth. Caregivers are people who
look after loved ones with health
problems. Public Health Nurse
Sandra Feltz, with the Huron
County Health Unit, hosted the
discussion which included a view-
ing of the National Film Board
video "When the Day Comes"
which portrayed four women
caregivers.
One in 10 Canadians is currently
65 or over. By the year 2025, one
in five will be over 65. And by
2030, one in three people will be
over 65, said Sandra Feltz.
According to the video, two out
of three women will take care Of a
loved one with health problems in
their life. (The majority of
caregivers are female). As early as
18 months after looking after some-
one, the personal health of the
caregiver can break down. Along
with the strain on physical health,
grief, guilt, frustration and resent-
ment may also be experienced.
People who have not been
caregivers do not know what it's
like, said one of the four women in
"When the Day Comes." Caring for
a loved one with health problems
can range from daily visits to
around the clock attention.
Beat the winter blues
Ken and Leona McDonald greeted
those who attended Duff's United
Church on Feb. 20. Rev. Banks
announced the next session of the
Bible Study is called 'The Beloved
Disciple'. The Money Jar for the
Latin American Project had been
passed around earlier and Rev.
Banks reminded everyone that next
week it will cost t5 cents per hour
of T.V. watching. If everyone is
like our family I know it will bring
a few quarters.
JoAnn McDonald and son Scott
together read the Lenten Liturgy
and Scott unlit one of the purple
candles in the Lenten triad. Jim
McDonald was scripture reader.
Ken McDonald celebrated 65
years of living Feb. 11 at his
birthday party put on by his wife,
Leona. Ken said he had a great
time visiting with his friends and
said his next big celebration will be
at his 85th birthday party.
Neil and Marie McGavin travelled
to Barrie, Ont. to attend the
Plowman's Association Convention.
They took with them Marie and
Francis Hicknell (Marie is secretary
for the Huron Plowman's Assoc.)_
and Sharon Kelly who is Huron
County Queen of the Furrow.
March 1 will be the date for the
next Country Luncheon and
afternoon card games. The Walton
United Church Women will be
serving a Hot Roast Beef lunch
starting at 11:30 - 12:30 with the
card games beginning at 1 p.m.
The U.C.W. will also be hosting
a community friendship coffee
morning March 2 starting at 9:15 at
the church. There will be baby-
sitting provided and ladies are
asked to bring a plain t -shirt or
Walton

887-6860
blouse for doing non -sewing
applique. There will also be a short
video called "How to talk so kids
will listen."
It has been a long winter for
many and the winter blues tend to
hit most of us at one time or
another. But it is important to try to
keep a positive attitude like this
young fellow I'm going to tell you
about.
A little boy was overheard
talking to himself as he strutted
through the backyard. Baseball
cap in place, toting ball and bat.
He was heard to say, "I'm the
greatest hitter in the world."
Then he tossed the ball into the
air, swung at it and missed.
"Strike One!" Undaunted he
picked up the ball, threw it into
the air and said to
himself..."I'm the greatest
baseball hitter ever," and he
swung at the ball again. And
again he missed. "Strike two!"
He paused a moment to
examine his bat and ball
carefully. Then a third time he
threw the ball into the air. "I'm
the greatest hitter who ever
lived," he said. He swung the
bat hard again, missed a third
time. He cried out, "Wow!
Strike three! What a Pitcher!
I'm the greatest pitcher in the
World!"
Think Positive and hate a good
week. -

Despite the difficulties, caregivers
beieve they're doing an important
job of preserving the quality of life
for the people they love.
When extra support is needed
(Home Care, nurses, etc.), just
having people in and out of the
house everyday is stressful.
"I try not to have as my onl
conversation my husband's illness,"
said one of the caregivers on the
video.
"It's important to just get out of
the house," said Public Health
Nurse Sandra Feltz. "Sometimes
you don't think of yourself."
Yvonne Kitchen, Nursing
Coordinator at Seaforth Community
Hospital; Louise Sloan, Home Care
Coordinator, and the Huron County
Health Unit are collaborating to
establish a "Caring with Confi-
dence" program in the Seaforth
area.
The first meeting of the
caregiver's support group is Thurs-
day, Mar. 3 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at
the Seaforth Community Hospital
boardroom. There's no cost to
attend the meeting. The program
usually runs eight weeks with 16
possible themes for sessions. Any-
one who is looking after a Loved
one with a health problem is wel-
come.
To register, call the Huron County
Health Unit at 1-800-265-5184.

Guitar playing enjoyed
by Maplewood residents
I was very happy to play my
guitar at Maplewood Manor,
Seaforth, last Wednesday! I was
welcomed by Karen McDonald,
Manager, Deb Dillon, and all the
Staff and Residents (who sang
along with me in a happy prepara-
tion for Valentine's Day!) I had an
enjoyable meeting with John Jacobs
(Vicar at St. Peter's Lutheran
Church Brodhagen). It was a real
thrill to accompany Ed Andrews on
my guitar (as he sang), and also tosing along with him! Thank you allfor such an enjoyable afternoon!
Ted Doyle is recovering in
Seaforth Community Hospital. We
all miss you, Ted, and hope you are
home soon. I (Dorothy) especially
miss my favourite euchre partner!
