STAY polos IN MENORY Each year in Canada, car crash- es kill more than 70 children un- der the age of five and injure an- other 4,000. Tragically, the correct use of ap- proved child safety seats could prevent most of those deaths and Although it’s been mandatory in British Columbia since 1985 for parents to buckle their children into safety seats before taking them for a ride, studies indicate that more than half of these seats are used incorrectly. That’s why ICBC is co-sponsor- ing a free child safety seat check from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 10 at the Castleaird Plaza. Trained volunteers will check the safety seat in your car to see whether it’s been properly in- stalled. They will also show you how to use the seats, correctly so that your child receives the greatest degree of protection. For example, the seat’s harness system must fit snugly.over the child. If more than two fingers can fit between the harness system and the youngster, then it’s too loose and the child could be seri- ously injured in the case of a crash. The safety check is sponsored by ICBC, the Central Kootenay Public Health Unit, and the RCMP. Prizes for the event have been donated by True Valu Hardware, West’s Department Store, Von’s T- Shirt Shop, the Book Shop, Partys R Us and The Picture Place. Super Valu and the Plaza Bak- ery are providing refreshments.

Considering a rest home? B-C. REGISTERED NURSES ASSOCIATION Suppose you have found a place for an elderly relative in a residential facility, but she is unhappy, with very lit- tle to do each day, left alone for many hours. You are dissatisfied and worried about the level of care. What should you do? First, nurses recommend you raise your concerns with the staff or managers of that particular facility. Ask about the Residents’ Council which may involve family members as well as a representative from the facili- ty. This forum provides an ide- al opportunity to raise gener- al issues face to face. Ifthis does not resolve your concern, enlist the help of your public health unit. Ask for the Continuing Care Case manager who liais- es with that facility. He or she may be a nurse, a social work- er, or other health care profes- sional and can act as a re- source for you on questions of care level or choice of place- ment. All British Columbia care facilities must be licensed un- der either the hospital act or the Community Care Facili- ties Act. These acts govern the phys- ical and the health care stan- dards at the facilities, includ- ing the structure of the build- ings, fire precautions, quality of the food, staff, activities programming and so on. A phone call from you, your public health nurse or any other involved person to the Vancouver office at 660-4444 will begin an investigative process, if warranted. Depending on the problem, the case manager or the li- censing officer may decide to act on your behalf and ask for an assessment of the facility by a quality assurance consul- tant. Seven consultants work ‘throughout the province un- der a Quality Assurance Pro- gram put in place by the B.C. Ministry of Health. It’s refreshing — to hear such strong support for doctors. 66 The Government should... enter into fair negotiations with its physicians. If we were to form government, we would take that type of approach to the bargaining table. 33 MOE-SIHOTA MLA Esquimalt Port Renfrew Leo Phillip Bosse On Tuesday, May 5, 1992, Leo Phillip Bosse of Castlegar passed away suddenly at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham, Wash., at the age of 68 years.
