ONCE OVER LIGHTLY  
Emphasis in the Bulletins is generally on the services which  
FNS provides, and various aspects of patient care. There is a
constant overtone of training of nurses as practitioners and
midwives, and, although there are frequent allusions to the . _
community to whom we owe so much, very seldom do we include
reports of significant community activities. This issue is by no
means complete in its coverage nor could we truthfully say that  
the vignettes presented are the "top ten" but they are very r»
representative of the way life is lived. They are meant as a tribute  
to our friends and neighbors without whom the Frontier Nursing  
Service has no meaning, and we shall hope to add to this tribute in l
the future. l
Three articles describe aspects of activities in the county  
education system: the interest in gardening is emphasized in the
V account of the Hayes Lewis School Greenhouse; the activities A
of the high school students exploring Health Careers is written  
by one of the explorers; the importance of Leslie County Sports it
and some of the team accomplishments are reviewed. The §
participation of the community in the management of Frontier i
Nursing Service is indicated in the report of the Advisory ‘
Committee, in the notes identifying our county members of the ’
Board of Governors, and in the reports from two of the district  
center committees. Areas of voluntary activities -— which mean a .
_ lot of hard work — are described in the articles on the Humane
Society, the Volunteer Fire Department, the County Clean- __ ,_
up and the Rescue Authority.
This is a neighborhood of strong personalities who have broad p
concerns which they pursue with vigor. y'.,

  In accepting this responsibility, the members were very
  courageous because we had not had this type of committee before.
at Members have helped define the functions of the committee and,
fi in addition to regular monthly meetings, have had emergency
  meetings to consider budget problems and special meetings to
*?F· consider school health programs. They have contributed un-
‘ A stintingly of their time and energy and are deserving of enormous
thanks from staff and Governors.
· As an illustration of one of their new functions, and
t willingness to assume increased responsibility, the Advisory
Committee has agreed to be the responsible local board in
administering a federal grant in support of a special school health
4 program, which they were asked to do on behalf of the Board of
A Governors should this grant be awarded.

  Traditionally, students in the Frontier School of Midwifery
_ and Family Nursing have had the privilege of choosing the kind
A A of graduation they wanted to have and of planning the service.
l¢*’ The April 1979 Class requested the pleasure of our company at the
; First Baptist Church in Hyden, Kentucky, on the evening of
Friday, April 27.
‘ This most recent graduating class was just a bit special. Of the
six graduates, three were born in Kentucky and one of the
i graduates, Arlene Day Bowling, was the first Leslie County nurse
` to enter the School. The other two Kentuckians were Susan Willis,
V whose parents live in Louisville, and Doris Wall, whose family
live in Stanford. Paulette Hunt from Oklahoma, Sue Keilman
from Washington State, and Sister Roberta Naegele, who has
worked in Kentucky for some years, completed the class roll.

Paulette Hunt welcomed the guests, introduced her _
classmates, and spoke briefly of the education program the
students had just completed, emphasizing the appreciation of the it
students for their patients, a number of whom were in the  
audience that filled the church. Two faculty members, Cynthia i
Kaufman and Sister Dorothy Dalton, had been asked by the il
students to say a few words and present the diplomas. The
beautiful flowers that decorated the sanctuary and a special .
program of music presented by Paul Kelly at the piano and by
violinists Coleman Willis and Mike Hildebrand, playing one of
Bartok’s Roumanian Dances, Beethoven’s "Ode to J oy" and the
first movement of his Sonata in E Flat, and the beginning of a
Bach Sonata, added much to this joyous occasion.
Following the ceremony, the graduate family nurse-midwives
were guests of honor at a reception at the home of Arlene’s
parents-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Gene D. Bowling, Sr., of Hyden. It
was a lovely party with more music, dancing and a delicious
buffet supper.
Some weeks later, and some miles away, another graduation of
importance to FNS took place when Cathy Carr and Ann Shaw
received master’s degrees from the University of Kentucky. Cathy
and Ann had taken Family Nursing IA and IB in the Frontier
School of Midwifery and Family Nursing and had then gone to the
University for certain core courses, such as statistics and research
and an extra clinical, leading to the master’s degree. When Dr.
Marion McKenna, Dean of the College of Nursing, introduced the
graduating class, she prefaced her introduction by pointing out 4-
that this class included two women who had had the major
portion of their master’s level training at FNS in this affiliated
program, and said that Ann and Cathy were the first products of ° v
this dual training. Dean McKenna expressed the pleasure of the
University at this affiliation and we echo her enthusiasm. Cathy
and Ann are continuing their midwifery education at FNS.

LESLIE COUNTY RESCUE AUTHORITY
For many years Mr. Dwayne Walker operated the Walker ,3,
Ambulance Service in Leslie County. Although it was a non- "
conforming service, Mr. Walker did an excellent job of responding  
to emergency calls within the county and making emergency ,=
transports to tertiary care facilities outside Leslie County. Mr.
Walker discontinued his service when an ambulance service from
Letcher County began operation in the area. This operated for a
short period until it was ruled illegal in the county and asked to
discontinue its services.
For the last two months, Leslie County has not had an
ambulance service, resulting in many serious transport dif-
ficulties with traffic accidents as well as for emergency patients
needing transfer from the hospital to tertiary care facilities. The
hospital and other people in the county have improvised to meet
these emergency situations; for example, the hospital has had to
use unequipped vans or station wagons to make required I
transfers. Ambulance services in Perry and Clay Counties have
been reluctant to serve Leslie County patients, even in life and
death situations, unless the people could pay cash at the time.
There is now a solution to our problem. The Leslie County
Fiscal Court has filed a Certificate of Need with the Department of I
Human Resources to operate a conforming service called the
Leslie County Rescue Authority. The Rescue Authority operation
will be conducted out of the Leslie County Emergency Operation J_
Center which is now being constructed in Hyden. It is hoped that ‘
an emergency medical technician (EMT) class will be started in _~
June 1979, and many of the personnel connected with the Rescue tk,
Authority will be trained as EMTs. This staff will have the use of
two conforming emergency vehicles to be used in transporting
emergency cases to the hospital and on to tertiary care facilities as
necessary. The rescue service will function primarily in Leslie
County and is expected to make approximately 1,460 runs per
year. It is anticipated that the Rescue Authority will be in full
operation by September 1979.
The Frontier Nursing Service is pleased that the Leslie County _
Fiscal Court has submitted the Certificate of Need to operate the

 QUARTERLY Burtimn is
Leslie County Rescue Authority and has decided to accept this
, great responsibility. The Frontier Nursing Service will be glad to
provide support to the Leslie County Rescue Authority because
fi the service is so desperately needed within the county.

PROGRESS
The Community Health Center
By Georgia Ledford
"Progress" is a happy and going-forward word for almost all of
us, or it should be. However, with some "progress" there can be a
bit of a "I wish it didn’t have to be" feeling. We want to keep things
as we are used to them, to keep places — and all that goes with
those places — the same. Probably most of you readers will know
that this is in reference to the closing of the Flat Creek Center and,
in the near future, the closing of the Red Bird and Bob Fork (Betty
Lester Clinic) Centers. I, for one, can identify with Flat Creek as I
grew up with it and this would be the feeling, I’m sure, of most
everyone at the other centers. The feeling of wanting to keep these
lovely places as they were is a strong factor but you gradually and
. painfully begin to think positively and push toward "progress" —
in this case the birth and building of a new center. This new center
— The Community Health Center at Big Creek — will serve all of
our people from the three districts that know this unique and
rJ_ wonderful Service and those that eventually will learn to take
I advantage of our well-trained nurses.
is Now let’s move our thoughts more directly to the progress that
‘~ qi has been and is being made. Land has been purchased; blue prints
. are drawn for remodelling, and adding to the existing building;
some funds have been raised; there have been several gifts of
money and lots of good cooperation from the community and the
committee. This is a joint operation between FNS and the
community. Let’s hope we will get this venture under way as soon
as possible so as to be able to continue to serve our fellow persons.
We appreciate your help—financial, supportive and prayerful.

l The Leslie County Volunteer Fire Department was organized
cy some three years ago by a small group of men and women who
recognized the acute need and were totally committed to fulfilling
 ‘ that need in Leslie County. For most ofthe first two years the only
¤—g thing that kept them going was faith, hope and a small amount of
charity! They had no fire truck — almost no equipment of any
kind. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Chief Harold Kemper,
Sr., interest was sustained and training continued through
lectures offered by the Hazard Vocational School and occasional
demonstrations with equipment belonging to others.
Then came the great day when a second hand fire truck, with
500 gallon capacity and the capability of pumping directly from a
nearby creek or river, was acquired. Mr. Kemper bought the truck
himself — with his own money — another example of faith.
Eventually he could be repaid from donations received, from a

  
raffle, from a benefit performance given by the Coal Country
Grass. Each volunteer bought his or her own hat and businesses
in the community contributed the coat, pants and boots to i
complete the uniform. Some equipment for fighting forest and •‘
br·ush fires was contributed by the Forestry Service who also Q
provided instruction in controlling such blazes. Additional train- g,
ing was provided at a two day fire school in London, Kentucky,
and by Chief Kemper who passed on to his department the
information and skills he had learned in the many workshops he
attended.
Now the department has two trucks, one in Hyden where Co-
Captains Harvey Chappell and L. B. Stacy assist Chief Kemper,
and one in Wooton where six members of the department work
under the direction of Captain Ralph Vanover.
Chief Kemper has added to his duties the direction of the
Disaster and Emergency Services for the county and the
Volunteer Fire Department is now operating as the Leslie County  
Fire and Rescue Squad. Six members of the squad have already
been certified in CPR and the unit has been recognized by the ’

State Fire Marshal’s Office as an official Volunteer Fire Depart-
 . ment.
 , Plans for the future include the formation of a Junior Fire
F Department at the Leslie County High School to enable interested
{ juniors and seniors to receive basic fire and rescue training in
preparation for the day when these young people are of legal age
G to participate in all of the activities of the fire and rescue squad.
Z Also badly needed is a siren to alert volunteers when a fire or
emergency occurs.
