Page 2 The Gazette W ednesday, September 13,1989 Adult daycare on its way by Shelley Bandura There'll soon be no need for individuals requiring consistent medical attention to be admitted to hospital in Didsbury. By mid-October, Hospital Administrator Brian Popp says they should have their Adult Day Care Program in full swing. The idea for the program, Popp says, came from a gradual On August 15 - 17, 1989, Alberta Public Safety Services (APSS) conducted a three-day Municipal Disaster Services Program Management Course for officials and volunteers from towns, villages and municipal districts across Alberta. The municipal leaders (course participants) learn the basics of how their communities can better prepare to face emergencies. Right to left: Rodney Gair, Banff; Stu Black, APSS Training Officer; Carol Ringheim, Olds. committee to draw up agreement Agricultural Society, would mean a loss of tax dollars. Erickson objected to having the rural life forced on her and the others along 54th and the south side of Olds. If 1 wanted to live near a barn I would have built a house in the country. I chose to live in town. Erickson said the South Olds Citizens' Group is made up of 50 - 60 people. That's more than every other house, she said. To appease the Town of Olds. members of the South Olds Citizens' Group and the Olds Agricultural Society, Town Manager Ron Hilton asked for the committee to meet before the second and third reading of the rezoning bylaw to make sure all know what is going on. Coun. Glenn Elmer. Town Manager Ron Hilton, Lorna Erickson of the South Olds Citizens' Group and the executive of the Olds Agricultural Society are to meet soon to draw up the agreement. Councillors are hoping that the agreement will be the basis of a 20 year projection of what the Olds Agricultural Society plans to do. Police Profit In the Huauaga Valley of Peru, corruption fostered by the cocaine trade is so profitable that police pay to be assigned there. limber up for winter by Shelley Bandura If you put off getting in shape this summer, the fitness center at Olds College is one sure way to get back on track. Whether it's hockey, skiing, or snowshoeing in your plans, there's little doubt regular workout programs, like those listed in the College's Fitness Services objectives, will be able to get you back in shape and help you stay that way. Jeff BeU, who oversees the fitness centre and acts as the College's equipment centre manager, says over the nine years he's been there, the fitness fever has definitely grown. The evidence can be easily seen from the registration in the centre's sign-in book alone. I think probably close to 15,000 people per year sign in our log book about 300 members of the community held memberships with us last year too. Among those using the estimated 70,000 worth of equipment. Bell says a growing percentage are women. It's changing, I would think that we're just about 40 percent women now to 60 percent men. Most of them are around the ages of 18 to 35 years, but we even have a couple of retired people using the centre here too. The attraction? Besides having a wide selection of up-to-date equipment, all cardholders are eligible to access a variety of drop-in activities, specialized weight training instruction and two fitness evaluations per year. A variety of badminton, basketball and volleyball events are available to get involved in on a drop-in basis at various slotted hours throughout the week. Any card holder, whether it be staff, student or town resident is encouraged to participate. Fitness testing, one of Bell's specialties, comes highly recommended as an essential element of guaging fitness progress. We follow a Canadian Standardized testing procedure which takes into account cardiovascular capabilities, body fat consumption, muscle strength and flexibility and two muscle endurance tests. Similar tests in Calgary, Bell says, could cost anywhere from 35 to 50 alone. Calgary glorifies their systems, though, by using a computerized read-out for the results. By far the . most popular attraction, however, would have to be the weight room itself. The light, airy facility located on the second floor of the students' residence provides a wide .range of equipment. While the sight of Nautilus, Universal, Hydra-gym bars and pullies may be a little intimidating at first, Bell says qualified fitness representatives are always on hand to ease the transaction. BeU believes weight lifting can be made adaptable to just about anyone. We provide an individualized program designed to get people interested in the different aspects of weight training .we show them how to adjust the equipment properly for their size and use, teach them about safety measures, and about frequency and intensity. Although the CoUege has had weight-Ufting facilities available for numerous years, it has increase in demand from the community. Many elderly people in need of regular medication dosages and meals, it was discovered, are having a difficult time obtaining it either because family members had to work during the day or simply don't have time. This hopefully will save them being admitted to hospital, Popp says. I guess you could call it a form of only been recently that specialized space and equipment have been made accessible. We've had a weight training centre at the campus now for about 20 years, but they've been in the basement in these kind of small, dark and dingy rooms. Five years ago, we were lucky enough to get this space we're in now. Along with having natural lighting, the room once allocated as a library, is able to offer better ventilation and higher ceiling. Back then, it was referred to as the Wellness Centre, but because of component changes over the years, BeU explained, the title had to be renamed the Fitness Centre. When we first moved up here, we tried to incorporate the college nurse, student councillor and Physical Education representatives, but that's changed over the years, and now we're just the Fitness Centre it's really the most popular component. With so many choices to make at the Fitness Ceiitre this winter, finding excuses not to get involved may be more difficult than getting in shape. OLDS EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES is now accepting applications for the position of STAFF PROGRAM COORINDATOR Applicants should be: interested in part time work, familiar with ECS goals and philosophy, a self motivating, organized individual. Please submit your resume, prior to: Sept 30, 1989 to: Olds ECS Box 1315. Olds. Alberta TOM 1P0 37-2K health maintenance. So far, Popp hasn't put a price tag on service said to accommodate anywhere from five to 15 people. We're looking at charging a fee for this maybe in the future, but only if the individual would be staying for meals all the time. Right now, it'U just go through their regular health care. According to Popp, underlying costs of the program, for now, will be taken out of Hospital Board coffers until government funding in the neigh borhood of (66,000 is accepted. Initially the program won't be that expensive to operate anyways. We'll be using one of our own RN's to look after it. We did, however, make a point of asking Nancy Betkowski about funding possibilities when she did her tour here. A decision by the Minister of Health about the project, he added, isn't expected until a later date. Once implemented, the program will be one of few in place in Alber ta hospitals. It's probably the first of its kind in the province. Some of the cities may have a number of places offering similar programs through their own facilities, though. Anyone intereated in the Adult Day Can Program is encouraged to attend the open house September 22, 2 p.m. at the 5-0 Club.
