Take time to feel the loss

From the day we're born we begin to lose something

All of life is Loss. From the
day we are born we begin to lose

Poison Prevention Week is coming up on March 19. It’s a time to raise
‘awareness of the causes of poisoning in the home, Look at your home
from a child's point of view and see if the cleansers, medications ‘and other
potential poisons are safely out of reach. It could save a life.

Those tiny button batteries used in calculators and Watches can present.a
poison risk'to young children. Be sure to dispose of them safely.

When using those effervescent tablets like calcium, Vitamin C or Alka
Selzer, allow the bubbles to cease before drinking. No more bubbles
means the tablet is fully dissolved which will enhance absorption,

By the way, Alka-Selzer is mainly A.S.A. and Sodium Bicarbonate. So if you
shouldn't have any A.S.A. or take in too much sodium, you probably
shouldn't use Alka-Selzer.Check with our pharmacists If you're unsure.

become compounded. Like a tiny

it’s like a giant boulder sitting on

depression that won't go away.

Strangely enough, the only way
to end the depression is to face the
losses head on. This means pain
and.grief. We run from pain.

We take pills to avoid pain, we
fill our lives so full that pain has no
room to come in. We cover it with
alcohol, sex, and other addictions.

run and depression settles in. Life
is dull, boring, and we are sad
deep inside.

Because we cling to posses-
sions, ideas
and people we
experience
losses very
deeply. The
problem is not
the loss; it is
the attachment
to the lost
Object. We
simply won't
let it go.

The story of Jan, the wife of
Dave Dravecky the pitcher for
the San Francisco Giants who
lost his arm to cancer, is a won-
derful example of the healing that
comes from grieving.

Jan succumbed to a severe
depression after dealing with the
loss of her husband's health, Her
father died in this same period
of time.

Jan remembers saying to her-
self as she stood by his grave, “I
don’t have time for this.” No time
to grieve. Finally Jan could not
cope with the depression and
sought help.

In counselling, she discovered
that it was normal to feel what she
was feeling in light of all of her
losses. She let herself grieve, not

only for her husband but for her
parents who were both now gone.
One day, sitting all alone, they
camie to mind and the tears began to
flow. Instead of

“getting busy”

she let the pain ™

surface and in
her own words,
“the tears came
from the tips of
my toes to the
top of my head. I
sobbed—it was
so cleansing.”

The grieving process does not
run smoothly. It is a cycle of
denial, refusing to accept the loss.
I have said to myself in these past
years of change, ‘This is what is,
Wilma, accept it.”

Then there is anger at the
unfairness of life. We stamp our
feet like a spoiled child and say
“no”. Then depression or hope-
lessness sets in. The cycle contin-
ues until acceptance of the loss
emerge with the realization that
one can survive!

In all of this we need support
and good friends, we don’t need
to face this pain all alone. It's OK
to ask for help. It gives us hope to
realize that others have felt as we
do and come through it. There is
life after loss.

Believe me, I know.

NEC life skills
workshop set

The West Kootenay National
Exhibition Centre will offer a
workshop and demonstration
teaching self-sufficient lifeskills
on Sunday from 12 - 4:30 p.m.

Rick Bivar, a 20 year flint
napper who takes special interest
in indigenous technologies, will
demonstrate fire making, and
flint napping.

He will also teach participants

how to use local plants to make
twine—a fibre used to produce
necessities such as a basket, bow
string, or snare.

Flint napping is a miilion-year-
old technology used by our
human ancestors from every part
of the world. The stone is chipped
to make cutting implements such
as an arrowhead or axe.

The skill of making fire, or an
ax, is fundamental to the sur-
vival of a human being isolated
from modern day conve-
niences—a highly useful skill
for people travelling through
wilderness areas.

Moms and Babes will be host
ing a spring session group start-
ing today at the Tender Care
building at 767 11th Avenue in
Castlegar at 10 a.m.

It’s been two years since the
group's inceptions when a group
of five local women got together
to discuss how to help meet the
heeds of new moms.

After several gallons of coffee
and much discussion Moms and
Babes was formed with the sup-
port of the Kootenay Columbia
Child Care Society.

Since then the group has orga-
nized five sessions, each 10

Program in second year

share common concerns and
explore topics of interest relating
to child care

Over the last two yéars over 40
women have utilized the sessions
for socializing, information shar-
ing and, most of all, a:scheduled
morning away from home

Some of the original alumni,
such as Katrina Edwards, are still
involved in helping provide those
same opportunities to newer
members of the group.

Edwards has taken on the role
of coordinator of the program
and is responsible for contacting
speakers, taking registration fees
and attending the sessions.

Julia Stockhausen, a pre-natal
instructor, has been credited for

weeks long which f d guest
speakers, videos and snacks.

The friendly and informal
atmosphere provides a comfort-
able setting in which moms can

tc-be.

Registration is $15 which will
be collected at the first session

Diagnosis
key to LD

Submitted

Hans Christian Anderson had
it; he could not write, so he dic-
tated his stories.

Albert Einstein had it; he
had difficulty with mathemat-
ics and numbers.

These individuals, each a
genius in his own field, had a
ke i isabi and re
to attain the highest achieve-
ments in his field by compensat-
ing and making the ‘most of his
abilities, rather than focusing’ on
the disabilities.

Bruce Jenner, Cher, Jackie
Stewart and Henry Winkler all
have a learning disability.

Today, it is estimated that one
in 10 Canadians suffer from a
learning disability ranging from
mild to severe. This complex
group of disorders is caused by a
dysfunction of the central ner-
vous system which results in
inaccurate information being
received throughout the senses,
much like a bad telephone con-
nection or a fuzzy photograph.

Youngsters with LD are some-
times labelled lazy, unmotivated,
and losers.

Many of these children will
fail in school unless their disabil-
ities are discovered early and
diagnosed properly.

Proper diagnosis will help the
child receive assistance in edu-
cation, medical, psychological
and social services. With this
help, they will develop their
strengths and potential. ‘

Adults with LD frequently
have difficulty in one or more of
the following areas: reading
comprehension, spelling, written
expression, math computation,
and problem solving.

These disabilities can make it
difficult for individuals to find or
keep a job, or to be promoted to a
level that reflects their capabilities.

The Learning Disabilities
Association (LDA) is a non-
profit organization dedicated to
advance the education, employ-
ment, social development, legal
rights and general well-being of
people with learning disabilities.

Learning Disabilities Month is
March. For more information on
LD, there will be a display for
the month of March at the
Castlegar and District Public
Library or call Castlegar Chapter
president Bernice Beckstead.
