Heriuge House is getting a (vx lifL Our facility is in die process of being painted inside and out The new colors, blue and mauve, brighten eve­rything jtf. We will be going widi an old wesffiieme in our dining room and are busy looking for rustic articles and pictures to display. The halls will each be decorated with a picture theme of its own so resi(knts can see change and also help diem identify dieir hall by that given dieme. We will be quite busy this mondi and next piitting diis together and invite ideas, pKtures or display donations. 1 will fiU you in on our pcture diemes as soon as diey are decided in case you have a pKture on that subject you want to donate.

Our residents enjoyed bingo called by Bob Chapman, Bible Study widi Rev. Stewart, a movie widi soda and popcorn and some new picture and word games diis week. Exercise is a good way to start the day and we start ours each morning at 9:00. Our exer­cise group grows daily. We always have fun at our activities and encour­age lots of talk and laughter.

Worship service was conducted by Rev. David Mann of First Baptist Church diis past Sunday. Our resi­dents look forward to and attend wor­ship services eagerly.

Our residents and staff welcome Emil Janak back after a hospital stay. He is doing well and kx}king forward to getting back in exercise group and

his domino games. I am still looking for volunteers for

oar facility. Keep in mind if you do volunteer you choose your days, your time to come and go. I will be here to assist you in any way I can also.

Adnumtrators news: It is no secret to residents at Heri­

tage House that activity professionals are a part of life's treasures. That is why they along with employees plan to pay tribute to our activity director on National Activity Professional Day, Jan. 25.

Our activity director, Gladys Owens, has one of the most important jobs in our facility. She works so hard each day to reach out to our residents to enrich their lives.

Activity professionals (io more than serve cookies and call bingo, a common misconception. Planning therapeutic and meaningful activities is critical to the quality of life of our residents, but their responsibilities extend far beyond these duties. They devote a significant amount of time with responsibilities like identifying the recreational and leisure interests of the residents, developing program schedules that reflect resident inter­ests and enhance outreach efforts, serving as a liaison with senior citiun's groups, and 6tganiung the efforts of our volunteers. As bng-urm care professionals, they contribute a

great deal to the quality of Itfe our residents enjoy.

We at Heritage House would like to thank Gladys for the amount of "caring" she does each day. She is relatively new; however, she has al­ready endeared herself lo everyone.

If you should need a caring but efficient nursing home for a loved one, please ^nsider Heritage House. Not only is it local, your loved one will be near to hislher friends and family, but more significantly he/she will receive care from trained professionals who truly love their profession and demon­strate this through their actions.

TWO TYPES OF ANESTHESIA Anesthesia, which means loss of

sensation', may either be general or local. In general anesthesia the patient la made unconscious t)y gas that he inhales or t>y sul>stances introduced into his bloodstream and transported to Ms brain For the most part, general anesltiesia in dentistry has oome to be reserved almost exclusively for serious problems best treated in a hospital. These problems include severely im­pacted wisdom teeth and fractured jaws, as wel as minor treatment in pa-ientt with a dread of dental procedures

With ejioeplions such as these, local •nesttieeia is nam Ihe general rule in

dental treatment that would othenvise cause pain the dentist chooses an in­jection site with the smalest number of pain nerves He slowly injects the local anesthetic since rapid injection would stretch the surrounding flssuee and thus inflict pain After allowing sufficient time for the anesthetic to infltrate, he is then able to complete his worV with little or no discomfort for the patient.

Catholic School Week; Open House, Jan. 30,6:30-8 p.m.

This year's dieme is: A Kaleido­scope of People; Cadiolic School Week is a time for teachers, students and parents to celebrate our school, and to let die whole community know what a great place diis is to learn.

In many a Christian church, the perfect kaleidoscope shines down upon die faidiful in die form of die rose window. With its colors unfolding and flowering outward, when the sun shines through, the rose window is a symbol of die eye of God. Only through this one perfect eye and widi this one perfect light is our darkness dispelled. And only by sharing this perfect light can we create a world as perfect, harmonious and pleasing to God as diis God's eye is pleasing to us.

Cadiolic Schools do the same

Cadio­lic School parents, students and teach­ers make dwse schools what they are. In so doing, diey become a beautiful vision to behold, a people proclaiming diat Jesus is Lord. This is die faidi of the Church. This is our faith. This Catholic Schools Week is a time to be proud to profess it!

So, please don't forget to made your calendars to come by to visit us on Jan. 30,1991 from 6:30-8 p.m.

Again, dianks to all die people who make SL Mary's like a beaultful rose kaleidoscope.

Facts On Jan. 20, 1961, John Kennedy

became president of die United States and made a special speech. In it he said, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." What could you do for your country? Maybe die best thing you could do would be to live a good Christian life — and pray diat all Americans will help their country by reaching out to help each other.

Take time to pray As our days go by widi the War

widi Iraq, let us take time to pray for each and everyone here and over diere.

Medicine IVansfer from Nursing Mothers

Studies show diat certain medicines are capable of passing from preg­nant women to their unborn children. If. during pregnancy, dicie is die possibilty of mcdicauon toxicity to die fetus, such medicines should be avoided. Another area ofconcem is widi die potential transfer of medicine from modiers to breest-fed infants.

^^(xantingtothc Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs,the cotKcntn-lion of a particular medicine in breast milk depends on many factors - the concentration in die modier's Wood and characteristics of die medicine, such as its fat solubility and the degree to which it is bound to blood plasma protein and milk protein. Anodier factor is die time of breast-feeding. If die medicine must be taken routinely, it should be taken shortly after breast-feeding. This allows as much time as possible for the medicine lo clear the mother's blood and allows for a lower concentration at die time of die next feeding.

The Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs also indicates diat a^Hrin and other salicylates shoukl be used widi caution by nursing modien. Certain prescription drugs ideally shoukl be avoided during breast-feed­ing. There are always exceptions, however, based on die bealdi <r?n(|itton of die expectant modier.
