TERRACE — Consider-
ing the weather and road
reports urging motorists
to stay off the roads unless
absolutely necessary, the
open house for Northwest
Community College turn-
ed out successful.

John Noonan, director
of adult education and
chairman of the open

house committee, stated
nearly 2,000 people came
to see the facilities. ‘‘We
had a lot ‘of surprised peo-
ple,’"’ commented Noo-
nan. ‘“‘The parents of the
students weren't all aware
that their children could
get their first two years of
university education with-
out having to go south.”
Noonan added that they

had received a_ large
number of positive com-
ments regarding the col-
lege.

Some of the most popu-
lar areas that attracted the

visitors were the telecon- .

ferencing system, lab
demonstrations and the
computer lab. ‘‘There was
a great deal of interest
shown in the adult basic
education program,’’ said
Noonan. Shop facilities
were also a high point of
interest for the public.

A Chinese lunch served
by Gary Baker, Geoff
Harris and Dr. Val George
and prepared by the food
service division with some
help from the students, at-
tracted over 250 people
from the general public
alone; the Italian dinner

later in the day was equal-

ly successful. ‘'I must say
again in this area we were
extremely pleased, con-
sidering the weather con-
ditions that people had to
drive through to come and
be part of our open house.
Cafeteria displays and
cake decorating sculpture
were very popular. The
VIP reception was suc-
cessfully hosted by college
president board chairman
Bill Hutchinson.

“*As an institution, the

‘college is very pleased with
_the efforts the staff has

put in to make the open
house the overall success
that it was. We would
like to also thank the
public for their interest
in Northwest Community
College,”” John Noonan
said. —~

Electric pump sought
for Mills Memorial

TERRACE —Demand for
a new breast pump at
Mills Memorial has caused
a. search for funding in
order to purchase a $2,200
electric pump system.

The pump will be used
by mothers who wish to
breastfeed their children,
and for some reason or
another encounter dif-
ficulties in doing so. The
machine will help meet the
needs of infants and their
mothers who come to the
hospital from all over the
Northwest.

Local family. practi-
tioner Dr. Loni Almas
says that an electric breast
pump is necessary for use
by mothérs experiencing
specific breastfeeding pro-
blems. Included are
mothers of premature
babies or infants unable to

nurse because of illness or |

other reasons, and
mothers with problems.
Almas adds such a pump
will provide a quick, effi-
cient alternative to the
more time consuming,
sometimes less effective
means of manually ex-
pressing milk.

Grace Hospital, Van-
couver’s acclaimed bir-
thing hospital, has three
such pumps available for
use by patients with
another two on order.
Since last spring women in
Terrace have had access to
two electric pumps on a
rental basis from Shop-
pers Drug Mart. An older
version electric pump

belonging to the Terrace

. Breastfeeding Support .

Group has been
periodically loaned to the
hospital over the past
seven years.

Now a joint committee
of physicians and
members of the Terrace
Breastfeeding Support
Group is attempting to ac-
quire funding for the
hospital’s own pump as
soon as possible. A
previous project under-
taken by a variety of local
supporters and the
hospital involved the pur-
chase of birthing beds.
That project was par-
ticularly successful and it
is hoped that the fund
raising on a smaller scale
for the breast pump goes
as well.

According to Pamela
Straker, International
Board Certified Lactation
Consultant and counsell-
ing coordinator for the
breastfeeding group, peo-
ple in this area are very
supportive of projects that

provide better services to:

the community.

An “Electric Breast
Pump Fund’’ account has
been established at the
Bank of Novia Scotia to
receive donations.
Already there are several
generous contributions by
local physicians and other
supporters towards the

- goal. Any contribution is

appreciated, possibly

many smaller donations.
adding up quickly to reach’

the required total.

In working with local
physicians to acquire an
electric breast pump for
Mill’s Memorial the
breastfeeding group con-
tinues in it’s role of pro-

viding support, informa- |

tion and encouragement
for mother’s choosing to
breastfeed in this area.
The group’s five person
executive coordinates
such activities as well as
organizing monthly
meetings at the hospital
where attendance varies
from approximately 10 to
30 mothers, babies and
sometimes fathers, depen-
ding on discussion topics.

According to both
Straker and Almas there
are many health advan-
tages to breastfeeding.
“It’s the special qualities
of a mother’s milk that
make the difference,’’
Almas said, ‘‘and those
qualities cannot be totally
duplicated. Even the
manufacturers of for-
mulas admit that their

products are ‘breast milk |

substitutes’”’. The addition
of a modern electric breast
pump to the equipment at
Mill’s Memorial will pro-
vide further support for
women choosing this im-
portent first means of
nourishing their babies.
All contributions are
welcomed and may be

made directly at the Bank.
