uncaring politicians, drunk drivers, religion, politics, in- adequate day care or poor-quality television are a tiny selection of the things that bug people. This week, In- quiting Reporter takes to the local streets to search for the answer to that ever-present question:

IT’S a question to which everybody has an answer: what bugs you? Some folks say the answer is as simple as ‘‘the government’? or ‘“‘high taxes.’’ For the host of varied issues that make up day-to-day life, there exists just as long a list of the items that annoy people. Rude peopie,

really bugs you?

resident passes away

WELL KNOWN North Vancouver figure Mrs. Mary Scott Leevers died April 30, after a year long battle with cancer. Leevers died peacefully at Lions Gate Hospital.

She was pre-deceased by her husband Bob Leevers in 1978. Bob was a founder of the West Vancouver Barbarians and Capilano Rugby Clubs.

Leevers was very active on the North Shore. She was an executive of Branch 60 of the Royal Canadian Legion, on the Board of Directors of the Act I Sacie- ty and was also an active participant with Silver Har- bour Manor, the Mature Women’s Network and the Capilano Rugby Club.

Leevers was a member of the WAAF in her native England during World War II and was always involv-

ed in the annual Ex-Servicewomen’s reunions.

Many North Shore businesses will remember Leevers from her long-time career as an occupational environment inspector for the provincial government.

A memorial service was held Monday at St. Christopher’s Church in West Vancouver, and was attended by approximately 200 friends and relatives.

Mary Scott Leevers is survived by her four children Michael, Jeremy, Ann and John, daughters-in-law Diedre and Roberta, grandchildren Sophie and Emily, sister Janet Knox and mother Mrs. Angela Skill- ington, both of England.

The family has asked that donations be made to either the Cancer Agency or the Lions Gate Hospice Society.

Nursing concept turns technical

Fron: page 9

Apart from patient care, ad- ministrative nurses develop health care policies and procedures, supervise and support nurses, teach in colleges and universities and help re,earch safe, effective and cost-efficient health care.

Because nurses are with patients 24 hours per day, they usually have the best perspective on judging pa- tients’ response to treatment and the progress of their recovery,

Registered nurses also assess and - interpret symptoms and plan care suited to both a patient’s condition and the patient himself.

Roop, who graduated from the Vancouver General Hospital’s three-year registered nurses pro- gram in 1960, said the whole con- cept of nursing is far more technical than it has ever been in the past.

‘“‘Nurses are now being recognized for the education they have to offer rather than just being a source of cheap labor,’’ Roop said. ‘‘In the past we couldn't even take a patient’s blood pressure.”’

Roop said registered nurses now perform such procedures as in- travenous feeding operations.
