Community Local health professionals go back to school CHAPEL HILL? During World War II, 24-year-old Navy pilot Ralph Boatman flew regular noontime bombing runs through heavy antiair craft fire over Japan and could han dle just about any plane the Navy had. Many' s the day his B-24 Liber ator landed on Iwo Jima after a raid with flak and debris holes in the fuse lage. But today, he says, somebody would have to be nuts to go flying with him. "Everything's changed, and I haven't flown for years," says Boat man who now has a Ph.D. and is di rector of continuing education in health sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "I wouldn't know enough about comput era, navigation, instrument and high altitude flying or the jets themselves without going hack for a lot of re training." Similarly, he says, people risk their health when doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and other health professionals don't keep up with evolving treatments and tech nology. Who'd want to be treated by a doctor, for example, who'd learned nothing since graduating from medi cal school in 1960? Last year, Boatman and his col leagues at UNC helped 16,513 North Carolinians from every corner of the state return to the classroom to sharpen their health-care skills, in crease their knowledge and, some times, get better jobs.

Holmes Students Win For the second straight year, driver training students of Tyronne Spellman at John A. Holmes have ad vanced to the state finals in student driving competition. This year, two of Speliman's stu dents walked off with awards in the competition held at Garner, N.C. on April 24-26. Capturing fourth place was Charles Cross, 16, a sophomore, who received $200 and a trophy. Win ning an eighth place was Eric Hayes who was presented a trophy. They competed with 17 other students from across the state. The driving meet was sponsored by the N.C. Driver Traffic Safety Edu cation Association and the N.C. De partment of Transportation. The con testants were all top drivers from their areas. Events included on-street driving; a speech on specific topics such as the new state seat belt law; and a written test on driving laws. Judges for the event include state highway patrol officers and driver education teachers that had no students entered in the competition. Spellman said of his students, "I appreciate the hard work these kids put into preparation for this compet ititon." He said that his students had earned a total of $1,375 in cash and scholarships from area, district and state driving meets. SUMMER CLEARANCE f And I REMODELING SALE All Summer Merchandise ON SALE ?

"Continuing education has become the fastest growing segment of higher education and will assume in creasing importance in the years ahead as more and more and more adults go back to school for training or just for pleasure," Boatman says. "Judging from the amount of money that industry is putting into it, contro lling education is really big business now." Last year, UNC offered 866 courses that involved 10,160.5 instructional hours for health practitioners, he said. That translates into 197,229 hours of contact between health fac ulty and individual students and doesn't include instruction in educa tion, law, government or any other discipline. Since some people attended more than one course, there was a total of 28,569 participations in the health classes. "It's noteworthy that of the 866 courses we conducted last year, 600 of them were offered in the practi tioners' own communities." Three major factors, two positive and one negative, contributed to the courses being held off campus. "A lot of health professionals can't afford to be away from their prac tices for days or weeks at a stretch," the educator said. "For that reason, we try to arrange training as near as possible to where they live and work." Recipes for squash Two squash casserole recipes for your abundant supply! COOK'S mm By tONA WOWERTON , CAPTAIN WAFER SQUASH CASSEROLE 36 Captain Wafers (approx.) see "Note" below 1 medium onion, chopped 1 small bell pepper, chopped 3 eggs 8 oz. mild cheddar cheese, grated 1 pint yelow squash, pre-cooked (2 cups) 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. black pepper 1 dash garlic (optional) 3 tablespoons flour cup cream 2 tablespoons butter or margarine Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small mixing bowl combine onions, bell peppers, squash and eggs, blend ing well. Set mixture aside. In an other small mixing bowl, blend flour, cream, salt, black pepper and garlic until you have a semi-thick batter. In a deep casserole dish, make a double row of Captain Wafer crackers on the bottom; add some butter. Next add a 2-inch layer of the squash mixture; then add a 1-inch layer of grated Cheddar cheese. Repeat process until all ingredients are used. Pour batter on top of casserole and spread butter on top. Crush remaining wafers and add on top of casserole before bak ing. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bub bly and top is golden brown. Note: Captain Wafers may be sub stituted by using Kitz or Tuc crack ers. but Captain Wafers give this cas serole the best flavor. Captain Wafers are a registered trademark of the Lance Co. ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE (SQUASH) 4 to 6 medium-sized zucchini squash 1 teaspoon salt Vk cups shredded cheddar cheese ' 3 tablespoons flour 3 eggs, well beaten 1 tablespoon margarine Vfe of large onion chopped Shred enough of the unpeeled zuc chini to make 4 '<2 to 5 cups, lightly packed into the cup. Put in a bowl and mix with salt. Let stand Vfe hour, then mash out liquid and ddrain. Combine zucchini, cheese, flour, on ion and eggs. Stir until well blended. Put in 1 '-2-quart casserole dish that has been well greased. Put marga rine on top and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until custard is set. Makes 8 servings. In addition, UNC is headquarters for North Carolina's Area Health Ed ucation Center program which was specifically designed some 14 years ago to spread health education throughout the state. Today, AHEC centers are located in Asheville, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Greenville, Raleigh, Tarboro, Wil-. mington and Winston-Salem. "More than 73,800 health profes sionals attended lectures, consulta tion clinics, workshops and confer ences at the regional centers last year," Boatman said. The negative reason is that there simply isn't enough classroom space on the UNC campus to meet the growing demand for continuing edu cation, he said, especially during the academic year when regular classes are being held. Courses range from pain manage ment, cancer treatments and com puter literacy to building one's ca reer and how not to get sued. Boatman said. They can be as short as one hour for a doctor who wants to learn what to look for a particular when examin ing a healthy young athlete or as long as 295 hours for the nurse who's plan ning to re-enter the profession after raising a family. Pharmacists can study almost any thing from the latest drugs to main taining cash flow in the pharmacy business. Dentists learn, among other things, how to better handle time, stress, employees, patients and the new dental sealants. e?otis/G. *, v r $0^ I S J y.'scv; Mary people believe that we owe the comfort of the rocking chair to Benjamin Franklin.
