Adrian Backus, Singer & Songwriter New York, NY Singer and songwriter Adrian Backus, a resident of Waltham, Mass., recently became an affiliate of Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI). A writer of gospel music, Backus teaches his compositions to local choirs and is just beginning his first year as a practising L lawyer. He is a native of Edenton, N.C. Backus became interested ■ in music at the age of nine. After being teased by a brother that he couldn’t sing gospel, Backus joined the local church choir and discovered that gospel was more to his liking than popular music. Once he discovered gospel, Backus also found an outlet for his songyyriting. “I bear the song in mybaad Uhwwoßds and myself singing it. I only play the drums, so I have someone else write down the notes to what I’ve sung. Then I can teach it to the local choirs.” His composition “I’ll Accept Christ in My Life,” will be included on a soon - to-be - released album from the New Temple Singers of Cambridge, Mass. “Music is my message to people,” says Backus. “I write about everyday topics that anyone can relate too.” He hopes that eventually his songs will be heard during the services of such well known preachers as Oral Roberts and Billy Graham. With this signing, Backus becomes a member of the world’s largest music licensing organization. BMI, which represents nearly 65,000 writer and publisher affiliates, offers a repertoire of over 1,000,000 songs and musical compositions to all public users of music, such as radio and TV stations, nightclubs, sports arenas, hotels, motels and others. By law, these music users must pay a fee to publicly perform BMI licensed works. The fees, collected by BMI, are distributed to affiliated writers (and publishers) whose music has been performed, with only a minor percentage subtracted by BMI for operating expenses. BMI is proud to list Adrian Backus as a member of its growing family and looks forward to a long association with him. Backus is a former resident of Edenton. He recently moved to Waltham. His family however, still lives in Edenton.

Lifeline Can Help By Ernest Messer - (IJ ‘ RALEIGH-Many elderly and handicapped people who choose to live alone are often anxious about an emergency occurring in their homes, such as an accident, fire, or burglary. Lifeline, a personal emergency response program, offers security and peace of mind. It provides reassurance that help is available when needed. Three elements are in volved in Lifeline: com munications equipment in the home, an emergency response system at the hospital, and “responders” or people who are called in an emergency. When an emergency occurs, an older person simply pushes an electronic button that is connected to his home telephone. A wireless unit can also be attached to clothing if the person is outdoors. This electronic button activates the emergency response system in the hospital. Trained personnel then pull the patient’s chart and immediately telephone his home to find what type of assistance is needed. If there is no answer, a relative, neighbor, or friend listed on the patient’s chart is telephoned to check on his condition and call for emergency help, if it is required. The Lifeline unit has a timer which can be reset every 12 or 24 hours. The timer is automatically reset every time the telephone is used. If the unit is not reset, the hospital will call the client to see if there is a problem. Once a month, a volunteer telephones clients to check on them, updates the response card, and insures that the unit is working correctly. An estimated 3,000 elderly and disabled people are currently equipped with Lifelines. Costs vary ac cording to communities; however, the cost is minimal (usually only a service charge of ap proximately $10). According to a study by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, people who are equipped with Lifelines have been able to live alone-as op posed to moving in with their family or entering nursing homes-for a longer period than would have been possible otherwise. It has also been estimated that each dollar spent on Lifeline represents a potential savings of $7.19 in long-term institutional care costs. More valuable than dollars, however, is the peace of mind to patients and families in knowing that help is close at hand. 24 Hr. Service Rwfrlg.
