Nu-Vision Camp Concludes with Baptisms
by Shirley Burton

Blind “isms” surrounded us: rocking back and forth, to and fro; thumbs stuck into sockets where eyes should have been; staccato cries into the morning sunshine; slaps to the sides of their heads. At something they especially liked, the rocking became more violent and the smiles broader.
During the Camp Council
Robert won a day at the command mike during one of the weekly You-Asked-for-lt Auctions where Nu-Vision campers auctioned off "Gold Nuggets" secured for performance and achievements throughout the camp.
when blind Ben Newsome described heaven and its promise of new bodies, there were shouts of happiness throughout the bowl at Camp Wawona. It was a great new promise for those at Nu-Vision, a three-week session for campers who

who were not only blind (totally or legally) but also had at least one other disability.
Third among Christian Record camps for the blind held within the Pacific Union in 1976, Nu-Vision was the second at Camp Wawona. (The other was in Hawaii.)
All campers were present to concentrate their energies on developing their abilities, according to Nu-Vision Director Eddie Yarmac, a trained and experienced therapeutic recreationist. “Isms,” he says, develop from bodies yearning to be used but hearing they are disabled.
Although 67 registered, a few were graduated early. However, 47 completed the entire training of encampment where the philosophy was to ignore disabilities. Only two were Adventists.
Nearly every camper completed the beginner’s swimming course—or at least got into the water. Even Steve—blind, deaf, dumb, and cerebral palsied— was ecstatic in the water where Bill Moors was in charge. A Pacific Union College student, Bill holds Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Trainer certificates—including for the handicapped. Moreover, his experience stretches over 15 years.

Wawona staffers Jim McMurry, Modesto and PUC, and DeeAnn Beckett, Modesto and Loma Linda, were boys’ and girls’ directors.
And Nu-Vision staffers, who were ratioed one to two with campers, were expected to complete a special course in adaptive camping. A recreational therapy practicum, the physical education course was developed by Union College for the Christian Record Braille Foundation.

Other high lights of the camp given to promote new vision for the “whole man” at Nu-Vision were archery, horseback riding, waterskiing, a camp radio station, and the confidence course.
The latter is an obstacle trail finished by a sighted person in one hour. Taking about twice as long for a blind person, the trail concludes with the “Spider Web”—a 12x30-foot net of heavy rope is stretched between trees six feet above the ground.
Ron was the only one to learn the workings of a bicycle and, with his Counselor Dan Klyn completed a 50-mile ride through Yosemite.
Concluding the encampment were the baptisms of three adult campers. Patricia Ann and Robert Lee Funderburk

'Retired' Couple To Serve a Year in Formosa
Retirement may mean relaxation to some, but not for Russell and Genevieve Emmerson of Angwin, California. The “retired” couple has agreed to spend a year in the Republic of China helping construct facilities for an Adventist college.
“I call myself a ‘building consultant,’ ” Mr. Emmerson muses. “I spent 1946-1951 in the Far Eastern Division as a builder and returned in 1973 to help begin the new college at Taichung.”
Mr. Emmerson will be in charge of constructing a new food service building, an administration building for the college and academy, two dormitories for the academy, one dormitory for the college, and six new houses for the faculty.
“In fact, we’ll be living an

INSPIRATION Says
"This earth is the place of preparation for heaven. The time spent here is the Christian's winter. Here the chilly winds of affliction blow upon us, and the waves of trouble roll against us. But in the near future when Christ comes, sorrow and sighing will be forever ended. Then will be the Christian summer." Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 988
one of the houses I built last time I was there,” Mr. Emmerson adds.
Mrs. Emmerson is a retired school teacher, but doesn’t expect to be doing much teaching while she’s in Taiwan.
Neither consider learning the local dialect or even the Chinese language as necessary for their task. Mr. Emmerson explains: “There are so many dialects used in the area around Taichung, one never has time to learn them all. Besides, most of the people I will be working with speak English anyway.”
The new college became necessary when the administration was forced to sell the college in Taipei because of crowded conditions. The college bought 120 acres near Sun Moon Lake, complete with 7,000 orange trees. The new campus is large enough to raise edible bamboo and pears and is away from the influence of the city.
When it was decided to move the academy from the highlands to the new campus as well, construction needs became evident.
The college follows a policy of building with available cash and not taking out loans. That is why construction is just being completed.
Mr. Emmerson retired in 1966, after teaching at La Sierra College 15 years and at Walla Walla College 20 years. Mrs. Emmerson has a son, Allen Fisher, who teaches flying at Monterey Bay Academy.
The Emmersons plan on leaving as soon as their visas arrive.

WMMC Helps Students Prepare for Health Careers
The White Memorial Medical Center has been affiliated with Loma Linda University in related health * care clinical programs since 1918.
At present, the department of medical education has approximately 100 students in graduate medical education programs, including externs, interns, residents and fellows. With its highly qualified instructors and attending physicians, sophisticated equipment and departments, GME has attracted the attention of the community and surgical patients are referred to the Medical Center for care and treatment.
Being a major referral center, various community educational centers have requested that their nursing students be affiliated with the Medical Center for clinical experience. Some of the religiously-oriented schools desire their students to have a similar church-related nursing experience.
Such affiliation contracts now in effect number 14. Programs range from nurses aide to Master’s degree. Between 240 and 300 students per month attend the patients at the Medical Center. Thirty-two full-time faculty members from these

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1976
Leoni Meadows Update
The next Leoni Meadows Offering will be received in all the churches in Northern on October 30. Below is a progress report.
• SALE OF PINECREST CAMP
Now that Pinecrest Camp has been sold to the American Baptist Convention (buildings only—we did not own the land), there is only one direction to go—forward! It is planned that the new owners will have possession by fall, 1977, and part of Northern's youth camps will again be at Leoni Meadows next summer.
•	ROAD
This is the number one priority. The Leoni Meadows Development Committee has an agreement from the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors on widening and improving Cal-dor Road. The county is securing the easement and property acquisitions needed before this road can be improved with chipped stone. A bypass road around the camp will eliminate the public road that now goes through it.
•	WATER SUPPLY
On the hilltop overlooking the meadow two large water tanks now stand. Water from the well is pumped into these tanks through about 2,000 feet of water line and provides for needs at the ranch house, the washroom in the camper area and at the edge of the meadow for summer camp use. A recent gift valued at more than $1,500, 35 lengths of 14-inch pipe, is now on the property.
•	ENGINEERING
Robert C. Walther of Santa Rosa has been engaged to handle all facets of design involved in bringing electrical energy and telephone service to Leoni Meadows. A formal application to the Forest Service has been made to cross their land with underground cables for electricity and telephone.
•	DAM
The engineering on the dam is complete. As soon as an agreement can be reached regarding the quantity of water release to one neighbor, construction will begin on the dam. Completion is planned by the summer of 1978.
•	DINING HALL, CABINS, RANGER HOUSE, MAINTENANCE BUILDING, BARN, HORSE CORRAL
These are all needed by next summer for the youth camping program. Plans are drawn on some of these facilities and construction will begin as soon as clearance is received on the road.
•	FUNDING
As of September 30, 1976, $82,214.85 has been given by the churches in Northern. The One Per Cent Plan is taking hold, and the faithfulness of church members is greatly appreciated. Regular support will hasten the realization of the Leoni Meadows Retreat.
Class Prepares Expectant Parents for Childbirth
The next prenatal class for expectant parents at St. Helena Hospital and Health Center begins Monday, October 25 at 7 p.m.
“The old-fashioned method of holding the baby by the heels and spanking to begin life is history now,” said Eliza Stevens, supervisor of St. Helena Hospital’s obstetrics unit and instructor of the Health Center’s Prepared Childbirth class.
“There are many benefits
rarm for today

from these prenatal classes for the expectant parents, as well as for the obstetrics unit. The mother does much better, labor is shorter and very litle medication, if any, is required. This allows for a quicker recovery, and the baby is better prepared to assume life on its own,” said Mrs. Stevens.
Designed to provide parents-to-be with information about pregnancy, childbirth and care of the newborn, the course also teaches expectant mothers exercises in proper breathing, muscle control and posture.
An emphasis is also placed on the expectant father’s role in childbirth. “The nice thing about this training,” said Mrs. Stevens, “is that we keep the family together. We consider the father as being pregnant, too. It really helps in developing the family concept.”
The expectant father is trained to work with his wife, helping her maintain proper breathing throughout the childbirth process. “The husbands
really enjoy the experience and often comment, ‘I wouldn’t have missed this for anything!’” said Mrs. Stevens.
St. Helena Hospital and Health Center sponsors five prenatal classes a year. Since the program began in January, 1964, 720 couples have taken the course, which meets Mondays for seven weeks.
Interested couples may register by calling (707) 963-3611, ext. 485. For information regarding this or future classes, call the above number or write Francis Webber, Health Center Programs, St. Helena Hospital and Health Center, Deer Park, CA 94576.

Vans Are Dedicated for Service
Two vans built for Mara-natha Flights Incorporated were dedicated during a special service October 9 at the Fresno Central church.
It took Paul Sanders, a Central member, more than a year to build these two vans. Sanders and Alfred Paulson of Oregon financed this gigantic project.
The kitchen van is 37 feet long and will feed up to 200 people a full-course meal at the Maranatha projects. The tool and equipment van is 32 feet long and will carry the much-needed tools for each project. These vans can also be used as needed for disasters and emergencies.
Open house was held after the dedicatory service. A large crowd was ushered through the kitchen van, complete with
marking class and picture-tours through the British Isles, Europe, and the Bible lands.
Hillcrest Pastor Howard Welklin is coordinating arrangements for the Seminar.

Child Evangelism
Child evangelism continues to grow in Hawaii as Vacation Bible Schools have been completed. Hawaii set a new record with 21 Vacation Bible Schools conducted from 20 churches throughout the islands. Enrollment hit a new high with 1,317 boys and girls and a non-Ad-ventist attendance of 881.
Sheila Otsuka led the VBS at Lanai.
Hawaiian Mission’s Sabbath School Department has initiated the new child evangelism calendar which specifies conducting one VBS and two Neighborhood Bible Clubs per year. Several churches are endeavoring to follow the new calendar of events to include Easter and Christmas parties.
Presently 11 Neighborhood Bible Clubs are being actively attended by non-Adventist children. The largest NBC is being conducted by Diane Degeraty at the Kailua church. Her assistants are Lily Shimabukuro and Cynthia Driver. Highest attendance was 45 with three non-Adventist mothers helping.
Also in its second year, the VBS slide narration program concluded the final graduation services.
Reports from all the islands were excellent. Honolulu Central Church on Oahu had the largest VBS attendance with 337 children. Kailua Church had the largest follow-up program with four Neighborhood Bible Clubs. A Christmas party is already being planned.
Sally Aton reported, “We felt the high light of our entire Diamond Head program was at the close of our Sabbath 11 o’clock graduation service. Pastor Munson gave his talk while the VBS staff and children formed a circle of love with joined hands, enclosing the con-legation. We sang, ‘Are You Ready for Jesus to Come?’ to
First-quarter Sabbath school workshops are coming!

close.” Five Bible studies were started after graduation.
On the big island of Hawaii, three Vacation Bible Schools were conducted. VBS leader Paul Kravig reports a 67 per cent non-Adventist attendance, 60 per cent higher than last year. Assistant Pastor Kenneth
Friesen was in charge of the advertising campaign. Several hundred balloons were filled with helium and passed out in the shopping center and neighborhoods where there were large numbers of children. One has enrolled in Hilo’s church school.
Lilah Meier reports that Kona has two Neighborhood Bible Clubs being organized with good enrollments. Honokaa is also planning for a Neighborhood Bible Club.
From Maui, VBS leader Neila Autenrieth reported one Neighborhood Bible Club being organized. Several enrolled and are interested in Bible studies. One enrolled in church school.
On Kauai, two Vacation Bible Schools were held. Nancy Vera Cruz led out at Lawai Valley and Paz Valdez at Kapaa. Almost 100 children enrolled; several are now attending church as a result.
On both of the islands of Molokai and Lanai, Sheila Otsuka led out in Vacation Bible School. VBS was held for the first time in history on the Pineapple Island of Lanai. Lanai’s is not the largest by any means, but 11 children attended. Assistants on Lanai were Carolyn Farris of Kailua and Audrey Botti of Hermiston, Oregon.
We congratulate Sheila for her pioneering efforts. With a good follow-up visitation program, four non-Adventist chil-

Violet Liston of Wahiawa Church reported a total enrollment of 103 with seven attending Sabbath school regularly. Thirteen non-members were sent to JMV camp by the Wahiawa members.
Iwalani Fuller of Waianea Church reported an attendance of 72. Fifty enrolled in Sabbath school, six Bible studies were started and 10 parents were interested.
Overall, 100 enrolled in Sabbath school, two new Branch Sabbath Schools were started, seven Neighborhood Bible Clubs were organized with 180 attending, 21 enrolled in church schools, 40 in summer camps, 23 joined Pathfinders, and 33 new Bible studies are the results of our 1976 child evangelism outreach program.
As God blesses these results, many souls will be won.

Las Vegas Members Involved in Soul Winning
Las Vegas church members have been involved in several soul-winning activities in recent months.
Pastor Ken Wilber is conducting many Bible studies regularly. He also has provided an active program for the youth, including a campout on the Colorado River. With the help of Walter Christiansen, MD, he has held a number of successful Five-Day Plans.
A big vote of thanks goes to Valerie Young and her husband, Lynn, for leading out in the Vacation Bible School. Attendance reached 86 one night. Live animals were provided for the
Sunnyside VBS Held by Price
A little church in Sunnyside, Utah was recently the scene of much activity. There are no Seventh-day Adventists in Sunnyside, but 68 non-Adventist (and two Seventh-day Adventist) children participated in a Vacation Bible School.
Lynn Larson led the Bible school under Florence Eckright and her assistant, Pauline Garner. Pastor and Mrs. Camer led the junior division, Mrs. Eckright the primary, and Mrs. Larson and Teresa Eckright the kindergarten. Karen and Joyce Eckright directed the music, told nature stories, and directed craft activities. Mmes. Keele and Carr from Price assisted with the crafts and the refreshments.
Mrs. Eckright visited the homes of children who did not attend the closing program and delivered the crafts and certif-
Prophetic Guidance
VOP Lessons Are Offered Free
The Voice of Prophecy renders an outstanding service by providing the Prophetic Guidance Correspondence Course free of charge. All one has to do is to write to Box 55, Los Angeles, CA 90053, and request this course by name.
The first lessons will be sent immediately. Those taking the course will find that it helps both old and new members to
nature talk each evening. Pastor Wilber gave the Bible stories and Nadine Lee had charge of crafts. Graduation services were held Sabbath morning.
Calvin and Lucille Harkey supported the program by providing transportation for 26 youngsters through the week.
The program resulted in at least one Bible study and influenced one young person to enroll in Las Vegas Junior Academy.
Mr. and Mrs. Jess Bennett have led out in a program of personal witnessing for the last several months. Showing the film The Family of God helped
icates. In one Catholic home where the materials were delivered, the parents and grandparents said the little girl had learned many things that even they didn’t know about the Bible during the VBS.
At another home, where Bible studies had been refused, when visited with the crafts, she was asked, “Just what do Seventh-day Adventists believe?” The parents have since made an appointment for Bible studies in their home.
The mission school in Sunnyside, taught by Mrs. Eckright, has doubled in attendance. At present, 27 are enrolled—from pre-school to grade two. Others are requesting admittance for their children, many from Catholic and Mormon homes.

have a proper appreciation for the Spirit of Prophecy in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Faced with the challenge of turning history around and being the last generation, we should be grateful that the Adventist Church has been given the Spirit of Prophecy. No one person has influenced the denomination more than Ellen G. White. Her writings deserve the careful and systematic study of every committed Christian.
New members should take advantage of this service offered by The Voice of Prophecy.
Why not enroll for this course today? You will be richly blessed as you pursue these lessons.

generate enthusiasm for the project and got it off to a good start.
Some members had never before visited door to door, but after their first Sabbath afternoon they were so enthusiastic they preferred to go alone rather than just go along with someone else. Soon over 30 were participating. As a result several contacts were visiting the church on Sabbath, and one family is now taking Bible studies.
Vacation is over now and the program is being reorganized. Plans have been laid for an evangelistic program during the winter months.

Offering To Be Taken for Campground Improvements
A campground offering will be taken October 30 for needed improvements at Camp Yava-pines. Some of the most urgent needs are for additional cabins, additional trailer parking space, warehouse and maintenance building, additional facilities and equipment for summer camp, and electrical rewiring in certain areas.
We would like to raise at least $25,000 by camp meeting time. Progress on these and other needed improvements will be directly proportionate to funds available.
Please give a liberal offering on October 30, and make a commitment of continuing support so as much as possible can be done before camp meeting next July.

"Submission" To Theme Religious Emphasis Week
San Francisco radio evangelist Elder Dick Jewett from the Central California Conference will speak on “Adventures in Submission” during the Fall Week of Religious Emphasis November 1-6.
For the past several years, Jewett has hosted the radio talk show “On Line with Dick Jewett” in Rochester, New York. In San Francisco he is currently hosting a similar talk show entitled “The Problem Line with Dick Jewett” on KEST. He plans to go on the University of San Francisco’s radio station, KUSF, with the same program in mid-Novem-ber.
He also writes a newspaper column, “Dick Jewett on Call,” dealing with teen problems, for

six Bay Area neighborhood newspapers.
In addition to his radio and newspaper ministry, Jewett manages the Lifeguard Problem Clinic, a 24-hour crisis counseling and hotline center in Daly City.
Jewett explains the week’s theme this way. “I see it as a series or spiritual training course on how to bridge the church layman and secular man and his varied problems.”
The inter-city evangelist plans to extend the training course idea to Bay Area churches and combine the spiritual emphasis with lectures by medical and social service agency personnel early next year.
Morning and evening meetings and weekend services will be held in the PUC Sanctuary at the following times. Mornings: 9 o’clock Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 9:30
Overseas Stholarships Awarded
Pacific Union College sisters, Carolyn and Beverly Wesner, have been awarded overseas scholarships from The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International for the 1977-78 academic year.
Carolyn, a 1976 home economics graduate, and Beverly, a sophomore music/French major, were chosen from 34 applicants for the five scholarship awards available in the Rotary district that covers most of northern California. They are from Orangevale.
Beverly will study at the Conservatory of Music in Ge-
Throughout the day, students will learn about financial aid for the coming year from Financial Aids Officer James Manley and take a walking tour of the campus, emphasizing the historical aspects of the 95-year-old college.
In other sessions, Counseling Center Director Eleanor Spoor and Freshman Advising Coordinator Garth Thompson will talk on “But I Don’t Know What I Want To Be” and Campus Chaplain Ted Wick will present the topic “Christ and the College Student.”
In order to have a better understanding of how a college class operates, visitors will also have the option of attending four mini-classes in Communication, English, History and Religion.

In the afternoon, visiting students will be able to visit residence halls, inquire about employment and acquaint themselves with other areas of interest on the campus. A football game between the college freshmen and academy seniors is also planned.
According to Igler, the College Day Program is the first phase of an overall orientation and introduction plan for students interested in attending PUC.
The final phase of orientation for students, says Igler, is the two-day Freshman Orientation Program in late September prior to fall quarter registration.
Igler and Aaen emphasize that the November 8 College Day Program is open to other college-age students not currently attending academies. Pastors or church members knowing of students who would like to attend should contact the PUC Admissions and Records Office at (707) 965-6336.

Nu-Vision Camp
(two of six who attended from Seattle, Washington) were the first. A day later they were joined by Dennis Holter, editor of a music magazine for the blind, as well as an Associated Press and radio reporter.
Patricia concentrated her individual study on a cooking honor so she could “feed Robert properly.” They were the only married couple in attendance—she with a hearing loss and he (a former athlete who had thought of suicide) with muscular dystrophy.
Speaking before his baptism, Dennis said, “We are all children of God—no longer are we campers, counselors, or staff members. We are God’s children. This experience is worth any other day that I will spend.”
Later he indicated what Nu-Vision meant to him. “Being baptized means I am drawing closer to God and closer to Nu-Vision. It was a necessary thing for me. I want to see this work grow—not only here but all over the world.”
Highlighting water activity was a specially-designed and -constructed waterboggan. Literally unsinkable, the waterboggan was the gift of church members primarily in Northern California.
Retired Naomi Rogers of Hayward, California, served as camp nurse, and Delmar Mock, MD, of Patagonia, Arizona and Gordon Anderson, MD, were the physicians for a week each.
Nu-Vision “firsts” were numerous. It was the first three-week camp held by the Foundation; the first camp for the blind with other disabilities; the first camp where campers could earn Pathfinder Honors for their achievements; and the first camp to be followed by a baptism.
Nancy Stroud, a counselor from Ceres, wrote a song specially for Nu-Vision.
Soneone else set to music the words of Helen Keller: “They took away what should have been my eyes,
But I remembered Milton’s Paradise.
They took away what should have been my ears,
But Beethoven came and wiped away my tears.
They took away what should have been my tongue,
But I have talked with God since I was young.
He would not let them take away my soul;
Possessing that, I still possess the whole.”
Another camper sang daily, “I’m going higher some day.”
Though funds for camping are solicited from all faiths by Christian Record representatives, in a marked way Nu-Vision was benefitted by a variety of gifts from the family in the Pacific Union Conference. And the Church’s own outreach to the blind, the nearly 80-year-old Christian Record, thanks each participant.
