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 by Patty Banks 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. - Happy Citizens guest speaker talks about life in Newfoundland The Seaforth Happy Citizens Club held their regular monthly meeting at the Legion on Thursday, Feb. 2.

NOK 1 WO 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.
