Fred Gilliam, Gary Baker, G & M Recycling; Dr. James Bohlen, DDS, lake associations and environmentalist groups; Gerald Romine, county health department; and Dan Swab, county health department. On the recycling and transfer station study group are a representative from Hoosier Waste Systems; Pat Ragan, City of Warsaw; Deb Wiggins, Warsaw Chamber of Commerce; Larry Teghtmeyer; and Bob Weaver, county health department. Cupp stated the emphasis of each group should be to gather information in its area and report findings to the committee. He hopes to have a viable approach on solid waste disposal ready to present to the county commissioners and the pqblic by Labor Day. > “We don’t want panic, but also don’t want apathy,” stated Cupp. “ His statement that roadside dumping is on the increase in the county was heartily agreed to by Commissioner Gilliam. The group discussed landfill volumes and concerns and Ransbottom estimated he now takes in an average of 500 cubic yards of compacted solids each day. He estimated this will go to 650 cubic yards this summer. The problem of old tire storage, specifically steel-belted tires, was discussed and Baker told of a St. Louis operation that grinds tires to recycle material and California plants that burn tires to create electrical power. Baker said he is taking tires, from Ohio, Michigan and Indiana and has approximately 6 million tires stored. He said he has been checking into burning for disposal for the last three years. After discussion on many aspects of solid waste disposal, it was decided that Cupp should contact the state to see if someone can come to Warsaw to discuss the subject with several committee members. The committee will also work toward establishing a program to encourage county residents to report those they see dumping trash along county roads. Cupp said, “We all have to pay for having it cleaned up.”

Open house held by obstetrics department
Throughout the hospital’s existence, Goshen Hospital has been involved in the childbirth experience of the community. The Obstetrics Department has seen many changes during these years, ranging from the type of birth experience available, to improvements in family involvement during the hospital stay. Women used to be separated from their families upon admission. There was little education to prepare them for the birth and many were not awake during the delivery of their babies. Husbands are now encouraged to be involved throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum (after delivery). Prenatal education classes are continually offered by the Goshen.Hospital Education Department in cooperation with the OB DepartState Bank of Syracuse to close for Good Friday Customers of The State Bank of Syracuse need to be aware that all branches of the bank will be closing at 1 p.m. Friday, April 1, in observance of Good Friday, according to Jim Caskey, bank president. , , , The main bank' slnd alTjpranctfes will operate tmddr ridtmal hours on Saturday, April 2, 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

ment. The classes prepare the couple to experience a more natural birth with little or no medication used. Family involvement after birth has also seen many changes. Twenty years ago, mothers sometimes only saw their babies at feeding times. No one else was ever allowed to hold the baby as the babies were to be in the nursery during visiting hours. Today, parents are encouraged • to bond with their babies immediately following birth and to experience/provide as much of the. baby’s care as is possible. Twenty-four hour care by the mother is also available with the pediatrician’s approval. Fathers may visit throughout the day and evening hours. During these times, they are allowed to hold the baby. Friends and other family members are able to visit Mom during general visiting hours in the morning and evening. This is an improvement over the years when only one visiting time was available for everyone to try and visit, with no special interaction between the family and new baby possible.

Although the hospital has opened up the experience to other significant people, there is still a need to provide a protected environment for the mothers and new babies. They still fight the battle against infection and must provide as safe an environment as possible for the baby. The walls of the reception room had many interesting charts that documented the development of the OB unit. In 1967, 884 infants were born at Goshen Hospital. The first year with over 1,000 births was 1970, with 1,122. In 1977, there were 1,191 births; in 1987, 1,274 births. Copies of newspaper articles about births and OB staff members were also attractively displayed. But the photos of many babies are what drew the most attention! Goshen Hospital’s Obstetrics. Unit is continually incorporating innovative ideas and progressive medical and nursing care. The goal is to provide the best and safest care possible for mother, child and family as they continue to serve firsthand in the growth of the community.
