Kiwanis Discuss Hospice Program By H.C. JACKSON 1 Chowan County has one of the highest incidences of cancer in 1 North Carolina. Kay Whedbee, 1 R.N., explained how the Volunteer ' Hospice Program benefits ter- 1 minally ill patients and their 1 families, at the April 15 Kiwanis 1 breakfast meeting. During the < Middle Ages, the word “hospice” 1 meant “shelter”, the purpose be- 1 ing to assist the family and the ' patient. Mrs. Whedbee is coordinator for the five-county Albemarle Home 1 Health Care-Hospice Program, 1 which includes Chowan County. 1 Kiwanians were told the program 1 supports the family and terminal- 1 ly ill patients in such a way that ; the person can die in his or her 1 home. 1 The program originated in Lon- I don in 1967 and reached the United States in 1974. Since 1983, local ter- 1 minally ill people have benefited I by the program. Hospice volunteers work under 1 strict supervision of the doctor 1 and Home Care registration 1 nurses. Only those who complete 1 training, under the Health Depart ment sponsor program, are asked 1 to assist in situations of terminal’ ■ illness. I COA Announces Local Honor Students Seven Chowan County residents were among 109 College of The Albemarle students who earned scholastic averages meriting the inclusion of their names on the Dean’s List at the end of the Winter Quarter. Normal L. Nor fleet, COA dean of instruction, released the names of the honor students. The list represents nine percent of the overall winter enrollment of 1,226 curriculum students at the community college. Chowan scholars comprised 6,4 percent of those qualifying for the recognition. Norfleet explained that in order to become eligible, students must complete a minimum of 12 quarter-hours of course work with a 3.5 grade point average, and have no grade below “C.” The highest possible GPA attainable is a 4.0, he said. Chowan residents recognised for their academic excellence in cluded William Earl Bridges, Georgianna Eason, Nancy Gail Hendee, Mary Kay Peele, Dina Richmond, Carrie Twine, and Crystal Stallings Ware. During their year of overseas study, recipients are provided a Rotarian counselor who is available whenever needed. Scholars often speak at Rotary clubs and before other groups in the country they visit. Counselors also are named to work with the students prior to their departure for overseas study. The Rotary Foundation, which is funded by contributions by Rotarians around the world, pro vides over 900 scholarships for overseas study each year. Emergency Funding Grant Approved The Executive Committee of Northeastern North Carolina romorrow has approved an emergency funding grant of $1,000 ror the Perquimans-Chowan Part lers With Youth Program.
