Hospital To Host Bloodmobile Stop The Brunswick Hospital and the American Red Cross are looking for volunteers willing to give the "gift of life"? blood. Those ages 17 to 75 are eligible to give blood when the bloodmobile sets up its donor station at the hospital lobby on Monday July 10. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donors must also weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. They cannot have had hepatitis, cancer or heart disease, or have been exposed to AIDS. Hospital spokesman Frances W. Fowler said that during and after a holiday such as Independence Day a severe strain is placed on blood banks. Forest Service Offers Help The North Carolina Forest Service says many tracts of forest lands are not managed properly because their owners don't know how to do it pro perly and don't take advantage of the agency's free services. The service provides forest management examinations and pest control checks at no charge. Given a short while, the service will write up a management plan that includes recommendations from experienced personnel. It will sketch a map show ing different timber types and ages, explaining the prescriptions for each. In many cases, a news release in dicated. the plan may be compromis ed to meet the landowner's specific needs. In mature stands of trees that need cutting or younger stands of trees that may need to be selectively cut, the service may recommend hiring a consulting forester to help the lan downer get the most for his timber. For those who wish to sell on their own, a list of timber buyers is available. Specific problems such as insects or diseases in a stand may be pointed out and treatment recommendations made. Many landowners, said the service, allow timber to be harvested too soon or allow beetles to greatly damage stands before contacting the Forest Service. To request a woodland examina tion or for more information, contact the N.C. Forest Service office, 253-5297. Miller Caison is the county ranger. STAFF PHOTO RAHN ADAVS NEW HEALTH EDUCATOR Jennifer Kye (left) talks with Public Health Nurse Nancy Lengett at the Brunswick County Health Department. Health Educators Also Have A Lot To Learn BY RAHN ADAMS Jennifer Kye has been out of college for seven mon ths now, but her education as the Brunswick County Health Department's new health educator has just begun. The 23-year-old Supply native started her new job June 5, after former health educator Joanne Caldwell resigned to enter medical school. And according to Ms. Kye, the past four weeks have been a learning ex perience. "It's going to be a lot of work, but I've wanted a job that will keep me busy and let me work with the people oi Brunswick County," she said. The attractive blonde? who, by the way, was runner up in the 1987 Miss Brunswick County Pageant? is no stranger to hard work and challenges, though. A 1984 graduate of West Brunswick High School, Ms. Kye served as battalion commander of the school's JROTC program and was homecoming queen her senior year. She also worked as a bus driver. After high school, she attended Brunswick Technical College for one year, then transferred to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and worked at a Wilm ington department store to put herself through college. She graduated last December, with a degree in sociology. During her college career, she was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, which was involved in communi ty projects such as an AIDS awareness week sponsored by Lower Cape Fear Hospice. She also volunteered at Wilmington's Hospitality House, a facility that helps families of patients at New Hanover Memorial Hospital. When it came to putting her experience to work, she turned to her home county. "I knew I wanted to come back to Brunswick County when I finished school,-' Ms. Kye said, "and this seemed like an excellent opportunity to do so." Although she was already familiar with Brunswick County when she accepted the health educator post, she said she wasn't aware of the wide range of services that local residents receive from the health department. "Until I went through the orientation, I didn't realize that the health department covered so many areas," she said, referring to the animal control, sewage disposal, and food and lodging programs, in particular. Her training so far has included becoming familiariz ed with the different programs within the health depart ment. For example, she spent one day with Animal Con trol Supervisor Zelma Babson and another with a sanitarian supervisor who introduced her to septic tank inspections and site evaluations. Also, she has been trained to counsel participants in the department's HIV testing program and is being train ed to work in the family planning and obstetrics clinics. "It's not going to be the same old thing every day," she said of her new position. "People ask me if I'm tired of my job yet, and I say, 'No, I love it.' " Once her training is completed, one of her basic duties also will be to serve as a contact person for the department, working with local businesses and com munity groups in various health-related programs. "Tell them where I am," she said. "Tell them to con tact me and put me to work." OPENING SATURDAY! BEACH BARGAINS GALORE. Sand Chairs...$795 n I I A?

CHRIS MOSHOURES OPTOMETRIST THE BEST FIT FOR SAFETY GLASSES I! you need safety glasses on the job, you should get the best possible lit to proteel you from hazards as well as to insure that you will be seeing as sharply and clearly as possible. Your eye doc tor will first give you a thorough vision examination, checking for sources of eye irritation and other problems. He will also check your visual acuity, eye coordination and muscle func tion. In recommending the best safety glasses for your needs, your eye doctor will want to know your working distance on the job. Are you working with objects at close distances? Does your work also involve distance viewing of 20 feet or more? You may need safety glasses that cor rect for vision both close up and at a distance. The position of the tasks you perform must also be considered. If your closeup work is above eye level, for example, the pre scription for that portion of your lens should be in the upper por tion. * * * * In the interest of better vision from the officc of: Brunswick Vision Care Chris Moshoures, O.I).
