Community Care Volunteers Told Elderly RqieMr Than Food a hle From NursingHoe By Maureen Corkery It is not enough for the elder- ly in nursing homes to be well- fed and dlean, Helen Munroe, activation consultant with the Ministry of Health told Com- munity Care volunteers Thursday. 1They must have some mean- ig in their lives and a sense of self -worth. "Without these things, people just vegetate," she said. Promote Independence Nursing homes in Ontario today, she explained, are getting away from mere custodial care of their resi- dents, and are promoting opportunities for them to do things for themselves. "Just about everything that is now put into a modemn nursing home is there ta promote independence and make life meaningful for its occupants. " ,There are approximately 400 nursing homes in Ontario, said Mrs. Munroe and although their distribution is fairly widespread, "they tend to be lustered in urban communities". Bed capacity ranges from 19 to over 300. The majority of people in nursing homes are those who have lived in the community and can no longer manage by themselves in their own homes or wîth their families, Most are elderly. Ail nursing homes are licensed under the provincial Nursing Homes Act which is currently under review. It goverfis such things as fire safety, construction standards, accommodation charges, bedroom sizes, drug administration, etc. S>aturday5 Op-enfinç CanadianE Tracter ai Regularly Special$II BiI's Lam SALES an Glen Rae Dalry Bi Hel en Munroe, activation consultant with the provincial Ministry of Hcalth spoke to Community Care volunteers Thursday about the quality of life in nursing homes. Over Protective? Mrs. Munroe observed that society "tends to look at old people as those who need a lot of care. We tend to be overprotective. We think we're being kind. Overhelpful- ness is flot particularly kind, she said.

" Nursing home residents "don't need to be totally dependent on staff for every- thing. They can do things for themselves", s&id Mrs. Munroe but it is of ten difficuit for the nursing staff to accept thîs. Many of these old people, she explained, have, been brought up on a strong work ethîc. Once they are in a nursing home many feel they are not being productive and are no longer needed by society or their families. "This is a very traumatie experience. These people have to feel somebody needs them. RuIes Relaxed In recognition of these basic human requirements, there is a growing change of attitude and a relaxation of once stringent rules in Ontario's nursing homes. Routines such as ýmeals and baths are not as rigid. Residents are given choices and allowed to make deci- sions. Some homes have resident volunteers who help make beds, shine shoes and do general work around the home. Mrs. Munroe told volunteers that in some homes she has even seen pets. "They are things people can love and give attention to." Staff is becoming more sensitive to residents' psycho- emotional needs, said Munroe, and is learning to direct those needs. The Scott's Colonels Novice Toros again earned their way into the finals of a local tournament, only to lose out in the final game of the day. In Cobourg on the past weekend, the Colonels met the very strong team from Whitby in the first game, and were able to come away with a very well deserved 3-1 victory. Scoring for the Toros were Eric Janssens, Brad Carnegie, and Gareth Stone with John Begg picking up a well deserved assist. Burke Lush was out- standing in the nets for Bowmanville and earned him- self the outstanding goalie of the game award. The second game of the day was a very close one as well, this time against the host Cobourg team. Again we got outstanding goal tending, this time from Darrin Bunker, who only allowed one goal in the game and the Colonels were able to take a 2-1 victory. Chris Hall not only scored both Bowmanville goals, but was awarded the outstanding player of the game award. Assistîng on Chris Hall's goals were Gareth Stone and Brad Carnegie. The final game of the day for the championship was against another very strong team, the Ajax squad. Although again we got out- standing goaltending, we were unable to score ourselves, and were defeated 4-0. The fatigue of the day appeared to show in this final game, although al] players put everything they had into it. Special congrat- ulations to John Begg, Assist- ant Captain of the Scott's Colonels, who was voted the outstanding defenceman of the tournament, and also to Burke Lush who received the vote as the top goalie for the tournament. Plan W( Spinneri*'ý There has been of late a rebirth in interest in we aving and spinning, both as a craft and'as an art. Fibres are spun into yarns, yarns woven into çloth to be fashioned into clothing for household use: covers, draperies, rugs, cushions and much more! Colorful yarns and different textures form the basis for tapestries and artistic wall coverings. With this interest cornes the necessity to exchange ideas and skills with other weavers and spinners and from this need, the "Spinners and Weavers Guild" of Newcastle was formed. Its membership consists of ail age groups and its enthusiasm, fellowship and accomplishments are impres- sive indeed. As a part of growth in weaving and spinning skills, workshops are planned. The Visual Arts Centre of New- castle, located on Simpson Avenue in Bowmanville is instrumental in hosting these workshops, which are open to anyone with an interest and desire to study this ancient and fascinating craft. rwkshop For sAnd'Weavers Two' renowned Master weavers, members of the Guild of Canadian Weavers and on the staff of the Haliburton School of Fine Arts, Mrs. Dini Moes of Peterborough and Mrs. Mala Kennard of Toronto, will be in residence at the Visual Arts Centre at the end of April and beginning of May. The programs will, range from the designing, planning and weav- ing of a fashion apparel to the study of weaving teachniques, design, color and texture of fibres. Lectures and demon- strations of work seen on Wàkter Froanulk's Ti slides will help to develop the student's critical and conceptual senses. These programs, are made possible through the support of the Ontario Arts Council and the Town of Newcastle and its membership.
