Humana would like you
to meet someone special,
Steven A. Issenberg, M.D.,
Ear/Nose/Throat
specialist.
We are pleased to welcome
Steven A. Issenberg, M.D.,
to the medical staff of Hu-
mane Hospital - Greenbrier
Valley. Dr. Issenberg, his
wife Marilyn, and their two
children, Felicia and Rachel,
recently moved to the
Greenbrier Valley from
Rhode Island where he was
in practice for fifteen years,
Dr. Issenberg is now estab-
lishing a solo, private prac-
tice of Ear/Nose/Throat at
Greyrock Professional Park,
Davis Stuart Road in Fairlea.
Members of the Executive Com-
mitte of Concerned Nurses of West
Virginia (CNWV) met for February
with Twyla Wallace RN presiding.
Catherine Relihan RN, Chairman
of the Legislative Committee, re-
ported on a bill in the WV Legisla-
ture which would allow school
nurses to receive credit for their
nursing experience instead of only
education-related experience. It was
also reported that letters have been
sent to the newly appointed mem-
bers of the state legislature inform-
ing them of the concerns of CNWV
as an organization of registered
nurses and licensed practical nurses
from all over the state.
Mrs Wallace informed the com-
mittee that Senator Byrd had replied
to letters seeking funds for all four
levels of nursing education instead
of only college programs. The de-
tailed information verified that fed-
eral funds are available to all pro-
grams as well as to individuals seek-
ing financial aid for nursing educa-
tion. This information was made
available by Mrs Wallace to hig'h-
school counselors at Greenbrier
East and Greenbrier West, as well
as to other agencies which might
benefit.
A letter was read from the Louisi-
ana Association of Diploma Regis-
tered Nursed to the Federation for
Accessible Nursing Education and
Licensure (FANEL), of which Twyla
Wallace is president. The letter
seeks support to prevent the pas-
sage of a bill in Louisiana which
would close vocational schools for
LPNs. Despite the nursing shortage,

I've seen:
"He only stayed a little while, but
if ~ close my eyes, I can see treat
snowman with his knitted nat, and
his mustache, and my mother mak-
ing his ears, and my brother tnrcw-
ing snowballs.., against the wall of
our house."
The third book. Katy and the'Big
Snow by Virg nia Lee Burton,
Houghton Mifflin Co.. 1943. may be
remembered by some of you par-
ents and grandparents. It's a fasci-
nating book to pore over after the
lively story of "Katy," the caterpillar
tractor, has been read. The ~l}ustra-
t~ons are beautifully detailed and full
of information about what goes on in
a small city or town, as welt as about
trucks, bulldozers, etc. It doesn't
matter that the book was written 43
years ago; the information is stlll
pertinent and captivating for children
of all ages.
Something To Do
After it has snowed why not go
outdoors with your children and
build a snowman, or a snow woman,
or a snow animal? Pack some snow
into a lump or ball about a foot
across. Then roll it. As it roils, it will
pick up layers of snow that will make
it grow bigger and bigger. Soon you
may need several people to help roll
it.
When it is big enough to satisfy-
you, you can shape Jt any way you.
want. You can rol other smaller
balls of snow to add to it. Listen to.
your children's ideas and use your
imagination, too.
. Something To Make
On a cold winter night, pour
some fruit juice =nto an ice cube tray.
Let your child put a popsicle stick or
tinkertoy stick into each compart-
ment of the tray. Before the child
goes to bed, set the tray outside, on
a porch or windowsill. In the morning
there will be a tray full of popsicles.
ready to eat.
Making The Most Of A Snowfall
There are those of us who hope
it will snow and there are those who
hope it won't, But almost all children
are thrilled by snow; within just a few
hours it completely transforms the
outdoor world.
While the snowflakes are falling,
children enjoy watching them whirl
and drift down. They like to feel the
feathery softness of the flakes on
their faces when they go outside.
They enjoy making tracks in the
snow with their boots, and when the
snow is deep they like to walk or run
along the paths that grown-ups have
shoveled.
In snowy weather, it's usually too
cold to stay outdoors very long.
While keeping warm indoors, you
can read books about snow to your
children that may increase their
understanding and pleasure.
Here are three that I especially
recommend.
The first is The Snowy Day by
Ezra Jack Keates, Viking Press,
1962. It tells of a little boy who
wakes up to find that snow has
fallen during the night. "It covered
everything as far as he could see.
After breakfast he put on his snow-
suit and ran outside."
It goes on to tell of his playing in
the snow, with beautiful, simple illus-
trations. This book is appealing to
children even as young as 1-1/2 to 2
years old, as well as to 3-, 4- and 5-
year-aids.
The second book, for children
age 3 to 6, is Yesterday's Snowman
by Gall Mack, illustrated by Erik Ble-
gvad, Pantheon Books, 1979. In it, a
young girl recollects the day she
helped build a snowman at nightfall
with her mother and brother.
The illustrations give a sense of
the family's appreciation of one an-
other as well as the excitement and
fun of playing in the snow. And it
treats the melting of the snowman in
a better way than any other book
