CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, November 23, 1978 Pre-school Program at Hobbit Hill ol at Special Needs Children Sha on Hobbit Hill Release Castlegar is fortunate to have an excellent special needs program available for pre. school childre: Located at “the Hobbit Hill Centre for Children at 749 First Ave. N., the program has u Special Needs License for 10 children, plus six other children aged three to five who attend nursery school sessions held morning and afternoon two days per week. Children enrolled in the special needs program have problems such as delays in development, speech difficul- ties, behavior problems and physical or mental handicaps. All special needs children at- tend nursery school with other children two days per week. The program is staffed by two full-time and one part-time licensed pre-school teachers who have additional training and experience with special needs children, In addition, there is a regular volunteer and, occasionally, a child care worker. __ If Middle-Aged or Older - You Can Diet to Live Longer . It’s never too late to start ubing your diet to help combat aging processes, a prominent physiologist says. ‘Food can make a dif- ference" in slowing down aging ini the mid years and even later, declared Dr. Ruth B. Weg, agsociate professor at the An- drus Gerontology Center at the University of Southern Cali- fornia. Dr. Weg said there is increasing evidence that in ife aging may be retarded iet that skimps on animal fat,salt and refined sugar, and h in lean protein, whole gtalns, fruits and vegetables. :s7Bhe pointed out that while many middle-aged and older people consume a lot of calories, thy: don’t eat enough of the fodd$ necessary to keep them really healthy. ‘<2Consequently, Dr. Weg said; they suffer “subclinical malnutrition,” which is stow in developing and without obvious symptoms, “But it can contribute to lowered resistance and many of the symptoms that we have assumed were inevitable with aging,” she explained. The researcher disputes the idea that older people don't need to be as careful with their diet as growing young people. In fact, she feels, it may be the other way around. For example, Dr. Weg said, the tastes of older people change, and frequently they begin to crave sweets, increas ing the risk of diabetes, obesity, hypertension and atherosclero- sis (fatty deposits in the arteries). Equally ‘serious, she said, is when food starts tasting bland to older people and they begin to use more and more salt, raising the potential for serious kidney problems. « Watkins Dealerships NOW AVAILABLE . pices * Extracts « Food Products . Cleaners « Dr. Weg recommends us- ing no more than five grams of salt a day. She suggests garlic, lemon juice and onions as extremely palatable salt sub- stitutes. To maintain health and help retard the aging process, Dr. Weg said, an older person's daily diet should include the following: e A serving of whole grain cereal, bread or macaroni pro- duct with each meal. @ Two glasses of skim milk or its equivalent, such as low fat yogurt, milk shake, pudding, custard, cheese or creamed soup with low fat content, e Two servings of high quality protein sources, such as lean beef, lamb, fish, eggs, poultry. e Two servings of fruit, preferably fresh, including one which is rich in vitamin C, such as orange or grapefruit... . e Two servings of vege- tables, one a leafy, dark green type. « Up to eight glasses of liquids, including water. Dr. Lillian Troll, a geronto- logist and chairman of the psy- chology department at Uni- versity College, Rutgers Uni- versity, described Dr. Weg as The staff works ‘closely with professionals from both public and mental health ser- vices and from Selkirk College. Specialists involved include the public health nurse, a speech therapist, an audiologist and a physiotherapist. After thorough assess- ment, an individual program is established for cach’ special needs child. These individual programs are then fit into the group program. The staff be- lieves that it is of utmost importance that special needs children,be a part of the com- munity and its activities, The goals of the nursery school are to provide oppor- tunities for children to socialize with others of their age and to learn appropriate social skills; to develop fine and gross motor skills; to provide a stimulating learning environment ae ae child through Reading News is a Private Affair This newspaper will be read out loud today by one half of every married couple in this area, The other half of every married couple would like to stuff this newspaper into every opening of their faces. , Teall it the E.

The children attend the centre all or part of every day, according lo cach one’s parti- cular needs.

The following are pre- liminary figures on communi- cable diseases as reported by provinces to Statistics Canada: Diphtheria: Diphtheria toxoid came into use in the 1920s and the incidence of the potentially serious disease declined dra- matically in subsequent years. However, over 100 cases have been reported in Canada in each of the past two years, with 131 cases recorded in i977. Most cases occurred among unimmunized individuals. Rubella: (German Measles) Rubella vaccine was li- eensed in Canada in 1969 and most provincial programs pro- vide for immunization for all children at one ai of age, with i CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, November 23, 1978 Statistics Canada Figures On Communicable Diseases - children, In 1977, 2,241 cases were reported, and about 20 eases of congenital rubella, Measles: ° Although a measles vac- cine has been available since 1964 coverage of all susceptible children is still not complete.

Plans Reading Centre New Denver Women's In- stitute is conducting a study to determine if it can sponsor a Reading Centre which will take the place of the present library, but be run in much the same way. The study has come about asa result of the changes in the library systems, which are now under the ministry of rec- Browned Libby's Red Kidney Spaghetti reation and conservation throughout the province. At a recent monthly meet- ing of the New Denver W.I., members felt that the institute could be eligible for grants to rent books and would, as well, ask for assistance from the village commissioners. Their hope is that the Reading Centre would eventually become a Public Library Association. Miss Mary Leask, assistant director of the Library De- velopment Commission in Vic- toria, was in the district re- cently and met with institute members Mrs. R. Nunn and Mrs, J. A. Greer. She relayed some valuable information to the ladies, including the pro- cedure for obtaining grants for books. Members feel that more personnel to assist in the library will have to be an important consideration, but they are hoping for a successful future for the library services in their district — an area which covers Silverton to Hills. In other business, a dona- tion was sent to the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver for the comfort of the patients. Mem- bers have also made colorful serviettes which will be for- warded to the Queen Alexan- dria Hospital in Victoria. Mrs. T: W. Clarke will pack general i ion pro- grams. National figures on eases are not available, One death was reported in 1976. Poliomyelitis: The last major epidemic of polio occurred in 1959 with 1887 paralytic cases reported. The success of the vaccination pro- gram is evident in that less than five cases have been reported annually over the past decade, During the summer of 1978 nine cases were diagnosed in Canada, all in individuals who had refused immunization on religious grounds. e Whooping Cough: In 1934, two years before whooping cough vaccine was introduced, there were 20,000 cases reported and 876 deaths. On the basis of births alone, Canada needs an active, comprehensive immunization program. In 1976 there were 359,987 births, and the esti- mated figure for 1977 is 360,- 340, Dull Saws; Tools, etc?
