 Though helmets are now common place for children riding bikes, playing hockey, doing in line skating and with avid discussion of their use for snowmobiles and ATVs, another sport is also changing its rules in that regard. A U of Calgary study in 2007 found that those horseback riding have the same risks of head trauma after a fall as those who play rugby, and a higher risk than those who race cars, play football or ski. As a result the Alberta 4-H club has decided this month to require rookie horseback riders and anyone born after 2000 to wear helmets.  2700 young Albertans compete in 4-H each year.  The British Columbia and Ontario 4-H clubs already have such legislation in place.

Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy

Police say a special transmitter bracelet helped to save the day for a seven-year-old girl who wandered away from home along Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy shoreline. RCMP and search and rescue personnel responded to the report of the missing autistic child near Margaretsville around 4:30 p.m. Friday. Luckily, the girl was wearing the radio wrist transmitter, which sent out tracking signals in the heavily wooded area.

Const. Paul Landry of the RCMP’s Middleton detachment said the transmissions led searchers trained by Project Lifesaver in the right direction. Landry said they found the girl near a stream around 6:15 p.m. and she appeared to be fine. “We had a general idea where she may be … but she wasn’t found when the mother looked in a few spots,” Landry said in an interviewn Saturday. “So we knew that she had this bracelet and we got in contact with ground search and rescue, who had the capability to track her. Once they came out they actually found her in probably 20 or 25 minutes from the time they opened up their antenna and started searching.”

The Project Lifesaver website said the non-profit organization equips and trains search and rescue agencies to find people who wander. The organization said the technology is especially useful in cases involving those with autism or Alzheimer’s disease. Landry said local search and rescue teams are keen to let people know about the technology and how it works, “so that other jurisdictions will come on board to start using it.”

He said it could be useful in a number of circumstances. “For us a lot of times, when we’re conducting a search … sometimes people, whatever their condition is, young or old, they’re scared of hearing people coming through the woods and they’ll run away from you.”

NOW YOU KNOW

 (Dorothy M.)

Why do men’s clothes have buttons on the right while women’s clothes have buttons on the left?
A: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid’s right!  And that’s where women’s buttons have remained since.
 
Q: Why do ships and aircraft use ‘mayday’ as their call for help?
A: This comes from the French word m’aidez -meaning ‘help me’ — and is pronounced, approximately, ‘mayday.’
 
Q: Why are zero scores in tennis called ‘love’?
A: In France , where tennis became popular, round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called
l’oeuf,’ which is French for ‘egg.’ When tennis was introduced in the US ,  Americans (mis)pronounced it
 ’love.’
 
Q. Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify kisses?
A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.
 
Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called ‘passing the buck’?
A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing,he would ‘pass the buck’ to the next player.
 
Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?
A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously.  When a guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host’s glass with his own.
 

Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be ‘in the limelight’?

A:Invented in 1825,limelight was used in lighthouses and theatres by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre,a performer ‘in the limelight’ was the centre of attention.
 

Q: Why is someone who is feeling great ‘on cloud nine’?
A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.
 
Q: In golf, where did the term ‘Caddie’ come from?
A. When Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl,Louis, King of France , learned that she loved the Scots game ‘golf.’ So he had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned  (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced  ‘ca-day’ and the Scots changed it into ‘caddie.
 

Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called ‘pygg’. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as ‘pygg banks.’ When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a container that resembled a pig. And it caught on.
 
Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches (milling), while pennies and nickels do not?
A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren’t notched because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave.

So there !  Now you know !

The House of Commons Finance Committee has submitted to parliament its 152 page report of recommendations for the upcoming budget. The committee in the past has reported to a minority government but this year, reporting to a government in majority position, its recommendations are more likely to take effect. Among its recommendations are

-providing the tax option of income splitting to all households once the budget is balanced

-doubling the $5000 per year tax-free savings account limit

-eliminating the deficit in four years, and doing this by limiting new spending commitments and keeping transfers to the provinces at the current level only

-reviewing public sector pensions

Alzheimer’s Patient Reunited with Family Thanks to Project Lifesaver
CHATHAM COUNTY, GA —

Project Lifesaver is being credited with helping authorities reunite an Alzheimer’s patient with her family. Deputies were dispatched at 2:17 Wednesday afternoon from the elderly woman’s daughter who said her mother had walked away from their home in the 1800 block of East Gwinnett Street.

Nearly two dozen Street Operations deputies responded along with the Chatham County Mosquito Control helicopter to search for the woman. Once in the air, CCSO Sgt. James Moore and pilot Scott Yekel were able to determine that the 82 year old was in the Strathmore Estates neighborhood.

By 2:48 deputies located her in the 2200 block of Iowa Street. The woman, whose name was not released, was returned to her family. Officials say this was the first recovery of a Project Lifesaver client in Chatham County since its launch in the county in 2009.

Project Lifesaver is also used to help find patients with dementia, Autism and Down Syndrome.

Better than paper towels:  COFFEE FILTERS
(Robert S.)

Who knew!  And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for $1.00, even the large ones.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome…  Coffee filters are lint-free so they’ll leave windows sparkling.

3.  Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

4.  Filter broken cork from wine.  If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5.  Protect a cast-iron skillet.  Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6.  Apply shoe polish.  Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7.  Recycle frying oil.  After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8.  Weigh chopped foods.  Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9.  Hold tacos.  Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10.  Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot.  Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11.  Prevent a Popsicle from dripping.  Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12.  Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows?  Use strips of coffee filters..

13.  Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them..  It soaks out all the grease.

14.  Keep in the bathroom.  They make great “razor nick fixers.”

15.  As a sewing backing.  Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliquéing soft fabrics.

16.  Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odours.
17.  Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.

18.  Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.

19.  Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.

20.  Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.  Saves on having extra bowls to wash.

21.  Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.

22.  Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.

23.  Use them to sprout seeds.  Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds
inside, fold it and place it into a zip-lock plastic bag until they sprout.

24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers.  Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book.

25.  Use as a disposable “snack bowl” for popcorn, chips, etc.

OH YEAH ~ THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS TOO!

 The government of Saskatchewan has embarked on an innovative way to fund seniors’ care, to cut down on costs of institutional settings and to permit seniors to live in the care location and style they prefer. The “Saskatchewan Direct Client Funding Program’ funds the care itself and lets the client choose who provides it. There is in essence the option of a family member being paid to provide care, up to $3000 a month as income replacement. The amount helps match money saved by not having to provide nursing home care and ensures good care because of early enough intervention.  The money can be spent on groceries, salary of caregiver or any other care expense but not on travel or illicit drugs.

The system is already in operation as a pilot project and there is less bureaucracy than in earlier funding arrangements.  Researchers are fining there is easier transition also from one style of care and back if necessary because money flows with the client.  A case manager closely monitors the first month of the care and then watches for later signs of any problems.  The goal of enhanced quality of life has already been achieved by some clients who praise the government for setting up a plan that attends to the client’s priorities and lets them face end of life issues based on their own values.

Guelph senior safe and sound after being reported missing

GUELPH — City police have located a missing Guelph man, 80. The man, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, was last seen leaving his residence Thursday morning. He was found shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Metcalfe Street and Winston Crescent, in good condition, and taken home after a police search and calls from two individuals.

That was a relief to the police service. “The evening was getting colder, which caused us great concern,” Sgt. Doug Pflug stated in a release.He reminded residents of Project Lifesaver, launched earlier this month. It helps keep track of people suffering cognitive impairment, through transmitters they wear on bracelets that provides their location information.

Information is available through Victim Services Wellington, 519-824-1212, ext. 205.

 Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has announced that he would like to limit the number of parents and grandparents of immigrants who come to Canada to join their family.  Canada gets 400,000 applications for permanent residency annually and 38,000 are usually from family members of those already here.  NDP MP Don Davies has suggested that Ottawa have more family members come in, maybe 289,000 to 336,000 a year. However Kenney says that immigration is not a solution to labor shortage and that many of the newcomers are seniors. He also says that while 20% of immigrants are economic immigrants, the rest are their spouses and sponsored family members (clearly he seems to think that only earners are welcome. I think earners are more productive and happier if with their family and that caregivers who come save government money by  providing their own support network for eldercare and childcare.-editor)

Right now if people aged 18-54 want to come to Canada they must prove there are competent in either English or French. The written test is a multiple-choice quiz but it has recently come under fire.  The Harper government has proposed that the tests should also assess ability to speak and listen in the target language, so government will require results of more stringent tests, proof of completion of a language training course, or proof of secondary or post-second year education in English or French.  Immigration lawyer Max Berger says however that the changes are not needed and will create a unnecessary burden on economic immigrants.

PROJECT LIFESAVER UNVIELS NEW TECHNOLOGY

AT ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Wristband Transmitter Design Triples the Effective Range for Recoveries

Stuart, FL: The Project Lifesaver’s 2011 Annual Conference was recently held in Palm Beach Shores, Florida where Project Lifesaver Founder and CEO Gene Saunders introduced a redesigned direction finding system that increases the effective range for searches by as much as three hundred percent. The new system has been jointly-developed by Project Lifesaver over the last year with Marshall Radio Telemetry of North Salt Lake, Utah and is scheduled for deployment to Project Lifesaver Member Agencies by the end of 2011.

Robert Bagley from Marshall Radio explained how the new equipment would overcome and eliminate persistent problems encountered over many years with existing radio tracking gear. In addition to the increased range, the new wristband transmitters have double the battery life (60 days), are completely waterproof, shockproof, and are temperature compensated to ensure the signal does not drift when moving from indoor to outdoor situations. Other upgraded features include a smaller water-resistant tracking receiver with greater sensitive and coverage for outdoor searches and custom frequencies for transmitters that can be ordered by the Member Agency.

The number of Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s is growing dramatically. At the same time, leading authorities are alarmed at what they have now termed an epidemic of autistic children. Both of these “At Risk” groups have wandering tendencies. Project Lifesaver International is the premier organization nation-wide providing law enforcement and first responders with the training and technology to quickly find individuals with cognitive disorders who tend to wander. Following the signal from a small transmitter placed on the patient, first responders from “Member Agencies” who have been trained and certified by Project Lifesaver quickly track to the location of the wanderer. Recovery times for individuals in the Project Lifesaver program averages 30 minutes, compared to nine hours for individuals without the tracking system. To date Project Lifesaver’s success rate is 100%. Unfortunately, that cannot be said for individuals without the tracking system or with other less reliable systems.

Radio direction searching is the simplest, yet the most consistent method for locating lost individuals in any possible setting, outperforming Global Positioning System (GPS) technology because of Radio direction technology’s ability to find wanderers inside buildings, parking garages and other enclosed places blocked from satellite view.

 Stamford Police record first documented Project Lifesaver rescue in the state
STAMFORD — When a loved one is missing, time is of the utmost importance, which is why Project Lifesaver
 International is such an important tool, says Stamford Police Officer Wayne Macuirzynski. “When it is zero
 degrees outside and someone you love goes missing, that is not the best scenario,” Macuirzynski. “Finding them as quickly as possible is what you want to do, so having the equipment to do that is crucial.”

For the past two years, the Stamford Police Department has been participating in Project Lifesaver International, an organization whose mission is to quickly locate and rescue missing adults and children who wander due to Alzheimer’s disease, autism, Down syndrome, dementia and other related cognitive conditions. Last week, the Stamford Police  Department made Project Lifesaver’s first documented rescue in Connecticut, according to police. Stamford Police Officer Greg Rackozy, the officer who made the rescue, said Project Lifesaver is the reason why he found the missing Stamford resident in under 10 minutes.

“This was an elderly resident who has Alzheimer’s disease and has gone missing before,” said Rackozy. “The other time we had to find him, the department had around 15 officers out there looking for him for almost two hours. But since his family signed him up for Project Lifesaver, we only needed two officers and found him in under 10 minutes.

It’s a great program.”Rackozy said clients enrolled in the program wear a personalized wristband that has an unique tracking signal. The tracking signal is given to the family of the client, . . . the police dispatch center and the officer assigned to the client.

When the client goes missing, a specially trained search and rescue team from the police department searches the area with a mobile tracking system, Rackozy said.

Stamford Police Officer Jen Lynch said the search and rescue team is also specially trained to deal with the behaviors associated with the cognitive conditions that Project Lifesaver clients have.”A lot of the time, an elderly client will try to go to where they grew up,” Lynch said. “And because there is one individual officer assigned to each client, the officer becomes familiar with the client’s past and patterns of where they might wander. So, if they know where they grew up, that is a place that they might start looking for a missing client. Rackozy said many police departments around the country are already participating in?Project Lifesaver, and the goal is to have as many police departments as possible enrolled in the program.

According to the Project Lifesaver International website, the organization has more than 1,200 participating agencies across the U.S., Canada and Australia, and it has performed 2,439 searches in the last 11 years with no serious injuries or fatalities reported.

“We really hope that more police departments will start using this program — especially ones in the area,” Rackozy said. “That way, if we have a client who wanders as far as the town next to us, we can give that police department the client’s tracking signal and they can help us locate that person.”

To qualify for social assistance in Ontario you need to meet certain criteria and to qualify for disability  benefits, even stricter rules.  Applicants are means-tested, and only considered disabled if their illness is  continuous, recurrent or expected to last over 12 months and if their illness makes them unable to function at  home or do paid work.  Parveen Anwari, aged 34, wanted to be considered disabled.  She has frequent episodes of  migraines, heartburn, depression, is barely literate and does not have significant financial support from any  source.  She is a mother of four young children.     Her doctor confirmed his opinion that it is unrealistic to  expect her to do paid work given her four children. The Social Benefits Tribunal awarded her disability but the  case has been appealed.  Three judges have now ruled she is not entitled to benefits.  The editorial boards of   the nation have now also expressed their view.  One agreed with the court ruling saying that the benefits are  not intended to those ‘who won’t work’ but to those not capable of working.  - I have to say that I do not agree  with the judges. A mother of four children is working. It is very patriarchal to say that someone maintaining the  lives and well-being of four others is refusing to be useful to society. I sometimes wonder when we treat women  medically as troubled for not buying in to society’s contempt for them, if we are being fair. Anyone would be  depressed and stressed if they were in dire poverty and the state told them to leave their kids -editor.

Detroit Free Press

Jackson Kastner was known around Monroe as his mama’s little duckling. The autistic 4-year-old followed Melissa  Kastner everywhere she went. But on March 27, after unloading groceries, Kastner turned and saw that Jackson was  gone. Less than three hours later, authorities recovered his body from the Raisin River. Like others with autism, he had wandered away.

The problem of wandering is getting more attention as autism diagnoses increase and the number of people living  with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia continues to grow, said experts. Between 2000 and 2025, the greater  Michigan chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association says, the number of people in the state age 65 and older with  Alzheimer’s disease will jump 12%, from 170,000 to 190,000.

Several tracking devices, such as radio wristbands, have cropped up in recent years, touted as offering peace of  mind for parents like Kastner and people like Doris Gunter who care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or  dementia. The Detroiter’s 71-year-old father, L.J. Blevins, left their backyard in July and is still missing.  The devices promise a quick and safe return of a loved one who has wandered away. Kastner said a tracking device  could have saved Jackson’s life. “If I would have known about some device that would have tracked him, I would  have used it,” she said. “I would take out a loan to do it.”

GPS, radio add tracking tech to find wanderers. After multiple searches for autistic children and senior citizens  who had wandered away, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and the County Council on Aging in 2008 held a  fund-raiser to raise the roughly $3,900 needed to bring in Project Lifesaver’s radio wristbands to the county.

“Wandering is a medical issue, not a mental issue,” said Lori McIlwain, executive director of the National  Autism Association, who is trying to get insurance companies to cover the devices. Children with autism who  wander, she said, are drawn to water for the rhythmic sound or the enveloping feeling of being in the water.  Drowning is a leading cause of death in people with autism. In March, 4-year-old Jackson Kastner of Monroe  wandered away from his mother. His body was found a few  hours later in the Raisin River. The boy had autism.

About 60% of people with Alzheimer’s disease wander, Melanie Semaan, family services manager for the Alzheimer’s  Association — Greater Michigan Chapter in Southfield, said. The organization coordinates with the MedicAlert  Foundation for a GPS-based device called Comfort Zone, about the size of a pager. She said they are looking for  people to try it. “Confusion, disorientation and memory loss goes along with the illness,” Semaan said. Elderly  wanderers usually take off for a location deep in their long-term memory — an old residence or a favorite park,  for example.

“If you or I were lost, we’d find our way. But they get more and more confused,” Semaan said. L.J. Blevins, 71,  of Detroit left his daughter Doris Gunter’s backyard July 16 and has not been seen since. “I miss my dad,” she  said. “I think about him every day and wonder where he might be.”

Comfort Zone and other GPS devices let caregivers set a range that a wanderer can travel — the backyard, for  instance. McIlwain calls it geofencing. Once the person leaves that perimeter, a text message alerts the  caregiver, said Ramesh Srinivasan, a senior vice president at MedicAlert. The caregiver can call police if  necessary. “It’s peace of mind (for caregivers) because they aren’t there all the time,” Srinivasan said. But  McIlwain said she is wary of GPS devices. They are newer, she said, and don’t yet have the reliability record of  radio devices like Project Lifesaver and LoJack’s SafetyNet

Cass County Sheriff’s Capt. Lyndon Parrish said once the department received Project Lifesaver equipment, every  deputy was trained in tracking the bracelets, which beep on a specific frequency. When the department is called  about a missing person who wears a bracelet, deputies put on headphones, tune to the person’s frequency and  begin the search, listening for the beep. Parrish said nine to 12 people in the county have bracelets. Project  Lifesaver Chief of Operations Tommy Carter said the program has rescued about 2,400 people. The company’s  recovery rate, he said, is 100%.

“The average search time is about 30 minutes,” Carter said. About 14 agencies in the state use Project Lifesaver,  though none in southeast Michigan. The expense can be an issue. Average startup costs for communities looking at  Project Lifesaver are about $3,900, Carter said. Comfort Zone costs a family about $200 for the device, and  between $20 and $50 for the monthly monitoring by MedicAlert.

Many people are concerned about the negative effect of advertising on young children and laws have been passed to restrict advertising to that group. However Joel Bakan has written “Childhood Under Siege” outlying even more areas where he feels that children are victims of an ‘undeclared war’ waged by corporations. He cites several examples

1. -video games and online entertainment that manipulate a child’s love of excitement and need for company, in order just to sell games

2. -marketers that sell sex clothing and gadgets, pornography and sex chat to the underaged

3. -viewing of violence on TV. He estimates that 90% of 4-6 year olds watch TV two hours a day and that tweens watch it 8 hours a day.

4. -companies manipulating doctors into diagnosing more illnesses of a mental nature and manipulating pharmacists into selling medications to treat them, selling psychotropics to children whose brains are still   developing

5. -corporations using child labor especially in agriculture

6. -corporations adding strong chemicals and pollutants to products with the result that the leading cause of childhood hospital admissions now is asthma

7. -charter schools operating at a profit and yet still being subsidized by tax dollars

8. -corporations advertising to young children urging them to nag parents to make purchases.

Psychoanalyst Dr. Elisabeth Young-Bruehl of Toronto says that the dichotomy that Bakan observes - good parents/ bad corporations - is a fantasy and overly simplistic. She is more optimistic about policy makers
 and legislators trying to protect children.

Project Lifesaver Lives Up to Name
Nova Scotia Aug 3rd, 2011

NOTE: The following is an op-ed piece by Justice Minister Ross Landry.

——————————————————————————–

The rescue of an autistic child who was lost near Margaretsville, Annapolis Co., last Friday is a cause for
 rejoicing for her family, and Nova Scotians.

A seven-year-old girl, who had wandered away, was found quickly and unharmed. A wristwatch-sized transmitter bracelet led rescuers to her in only 17 minutes. This is the first time the device has played a role in a Nova Scotia rescue and I’d like to remind all Nova Scotians of the story behind its launch. I’d like to encourage Nova Scotians who need it to make use of this little lifesaver. We all remember James Delorey. The seven-year-old Cape Bretoner died from hypothermia in December 2009 after wandering away from home.

Ron Arenburg was a search and rescue volunteer living outside Kentville. He had already discussed with his dad, who had Alzheimer’s disease, what might be done to help find people whose illnesses cause them to wander. Ron and Nancy Arenburg discovered Project Lifesaver, a U.S. organization that markets a Canadian-made device. The Project Lifesaver kit includes a wrist-band transmitter whose constant radio signals, unique to each sender, can be picked up by a receiver. Vehicle-mounted and hand-held antennas can be used to scan an area to locate a missing person.

The Arenburgs formed the non-profit Project Lifesaver Association in Nova Scotia, which is supported by volunteers and the province. A number of search and rescue units and the RCMP are interested in the device and the Valley Ground Search and Rescue Unit raised money to buy and test the equipment. The Arenburgs and volunteers joined with and the Emergency Management Office to apply for development and training funds from the federal government. The $273,000 federal grant of will help equip and train ground search and rescue units. Fortunately two of the units that have been trained, Valley GSAR and Annapolis, responded last Friday when the girl went missing.

I encourage more families to explore Project Lifesaver. If someone in your family or someone you know has autism or Alzheimer’s disease, look into this device. It can help protect them and save your family a lot of heartache. I would also like to express our gratitude to the non-profit organizations and volunteers who work tirelessly to help others. It’s a great example of the compassion of Nova Scotians and they help make this province safer for everyone.

Bracelet answer to ordeal

Family makes plans following man’s safe return
 
When Kady Forde’s father, Glen, 61, went missing Sunday, it was the first time he had wandered away from the family home. Living with Alzheimer’s disease, Mr. Forde left the front porch of his Richmond Hill house, near Lake Wilcox, and remained missing until he was found by police last night, wandering along Toronto’s Gerrard Street, more than 30 kilometres away. Before her father was returned home with no recollection of the overnight walkabout that sent his family and friends into a panic, Ms Forde said she had never heard of Project Lifesaver. Now, it is something she plans to remember and a program in which her father will be enrolled right away.

Part of Mr. Forde’s police description was that he was wearing an Alzheimer identification bracelet, engraved
 with personal information and symptoms.In the near future, Mr. Forde will receive a new bracelet, which will
 be equipped with a tracking device, under the project lifesaver program. Now that Mr. Forde is officially prone to wander, he will be moved to the top of the project’s list, his daughter said. “I had never heard of Project Lifesaver before this,” Ms Forde said this morning. “From the time my dad disappeared, compared to the state of him now, you can see how much he has deteriorated over the 30 hours he was gone. Getting this bracelet is Step 1 in our new approach to his state,” Ms Forde added.

Mr. Forde was taken to hospital before returning home. Tests showed no severe physical trauma. Ms Forde said her father has no recollection of his ordeal. Despite having no money when he left the house, family and friends speculated he may have travelled by bus, considering he is a former TTC driver and is still familiar with bus routes. If Mr. Forde had been outfitted with a Project Lifesaver bracelet, he may have been found sooner. The average recovery time of an individual wearing a bracelet is 30 minutes, according to York Regional Police. The bracelets are offered through the York Regional Police, in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Society of York Region and Autism Society of Ontario.

Families pay an initial $300 at the time of enrolment, which covers the cost of the bracelet, followed by
 additional monthly fees of $10 for the replacement of the battery and bracelet when needed. Project Lifesaver is also available to people living with autism, Down’s syndrome and some other conditions. The
 bracelet’s tracking range is about 1.5 km. With her father, safe and at home, Ms Forde, expressed gratitude to her neighbours, police, media and strangers, who were on the lookout or spreading the word that her father was missing. “Because people were sending e-mails and putting up posters with his picture, we got our dad back. To all those who helped, I can’t thank them enough,” Ms Forde said

When seniors are no longer able to live at home because of special care needs, they have many options for institutional settings but many are very costly.  In most provinces government subsidizes the medical care though not necessarily room and board of seniors’ facilities.  In Calgary in 2003 the Colonel Belcher Care Center set up a 175 bed nursing home to be owned and operated by Carewest. It also had 175 seniors’ apartments to be owned and operated by Apex Lifestyle Communities, with some provision for assisted living suites.  The land for the center was leased for 60 years from the province.  However shortly after the center was set up, Chartwell bought Apex’s interest.  The P-3 contract providing public and private funding to be blended has developed a few snags.  Chartwell announced in June 2011 that it would renovate some of its apartments, evict the seniors paying under $1600 a month and now ask $2200 or more from new tenants.  29 seniors some of them war vets, were suddenly without a place to stay and the United Nurses of Alberta joined the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees objecting to the move and alerting to the danger that government was not protecting seniors and was turning too much to the private sector for housing them.  Guy Smith of AUPE said proper investment in publicly owned and operated facilities would provide a much more stable and secure housing solution.  In a similar move Sunnyhill Wellness Center relocated seven residents from its building recently so it could use the space for professional offices. Rande Allison whose 92 year old dad has been affected said that seniors “are being shoveled around so some operator can charge more money”.  Richard Noonan, chief operating officer of Chartwell however defended such moves saying private companies like his are obliged to get the most profit for their shareholders.  In mid July, due to public pressure, Chartwell changed its mind and a reprieve was granted as the province negotiated with the center a new 3 year deal . The evicted seniors can stay.

16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.

17. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio .
“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I’ve
ever written.
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
 
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion.
Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come…
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.”

Ontario and BC are the only two Canadian provinces that routinely test the hearing of babies but the Canadian Pediatric Society would like to have such testing more universal. Dr. Hema Patel says that a screening program would be very useful since hearing loss is a common congenital disorder , affecting 5 of every 1000 newborns. Earlier testing methods however have been found to be sometimes inaccurate so new strategies are also being promoted.  In traditional testing a bell is rung or horn tooted and then the newborn is watched to determine reaction. However if the child sees the bell or horn it is not clear the reaction is to the auditory or the visual.  New methods show whether the baby technically heard the sound in one of two ways: -putting a probe outside the ear and sending tones into the ear, creating echoes. If there is no echo it means there are no sensory hair cells on the cochlea so there is hearing impairment, -taping 3 electrodes on the baby’s head and putting headphones on the baby. Clicking sounds are sent along the wire to the headphones and the electrodes register if the brain heard the sound. The waves can be shown on a
 printout.

Project Lifesaver
The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office offers a FREE service for county residents who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, autism, or other conditions that make them likely to wander away from caregivers, or who have difficulties communicating with rescuers. Project Lifesaver bracelets can help rescuers find a loved one who has wandered away.

To participate in the Project Lifesaver program, the prospective client must:* Live within Brunswick County * Be diagnosed by a certified physician as having Alzheimer’s disease, other dementia disorders, autism, Down’s syndrome, or similar disorders. * Be known to wander away from caregiver.

Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Project Lifesaver team will give participants a plastic bracelet containing a waterproof radio transmitter. Each participant’s transmitter is assigned a radio frequency that is unique both to them and to their geographical area of the county. The bracelets may be worn on the client’s wrist or ankle.

If the client goes missing the caregiver should call 911 immediately. The Brunswick County Sheriff’s office will respond with a trained team to start a search along with other emergency resources.

We cannot predict when a loved one will become lost, however we can prpare.
