8 Hawaii Tribune-Herald, Wednesday, January 221975 Caught In A 'Catch-22' Predicament ilemma Of A Midwife Xf I in childbirth, which deal with diet, exercises and preparation for birth during the pre-natal stages of pregnancy and care of the infant after birth. She says that like any other physical activity, a woman must prepare herself before the event takes place. Comparing the birth process to body surfing, she explained that the mother either can be annihilated by the crashing wave, or ride it out with finesse. The Hawaiian representative of the International Childbirth Education Association, Mrs. Sims said that while the group does not encourage home deliveries, members respect the right of people to have their babies at home if they so desire.

Mrs. Sims is trained in the Lamaze method of natural childbirth, has done extensive individual research on the subject of childbirth, received four months of training from a Danish midwife last year, and attended pre-nursing classes at Hilo Community College and Hilo College last semester. "The classes have only made me realize more that you don't need to be a registered nurse to be a midwife, but should be trained specifically in midwifery," she explained. Mrs. Sims said she applied for a spot as a volunteer obstetrical aide at Kona Hospital, in order to obtain the required training for the State's midwifery license, but said her application was denied.

She feels if she is licensed it will make for a closer working relationship with local doctors, who will respect her ability to diagnose an emergency and Netherlands with 11.4, while the United States has 18.5, according to statistics compiled in 1972 and listed in a special report by the International Childbirth Education Association. "Most countries above the United States on the list use midwives or nurses trained as midwives," Mrs. Sims said. She is caught in a "Catch-22" predicament whereby she cannot work in Hawaii hospitals without a midwifery license, and cannot obtain the license without hospital training. "It is an obvious example of a cultural lag," she said.

"We have a community where people have babies at home whether I exist or not. "With so few doctors in this rural area, we need to utilize people in the community." Mrs. Sims teaches classes will handle it accordingly when she phones for assistance. What midwives can provide, is what busy doctors cannot, Mrs. Sims said, and that is emotional support not only in the pre-natal stages of pregnancy, but during the entire process of birth.

Doctors, with their hectic schedules, are not able to fully devote themselves to each couple during the birth of their child, she said. Mrs. Sims feels that when a couple is going to have a baby it is a "pregnant couple" and not just the woman who is pregnant. Until recently, she explained, Big Island hospitals did not see this way and only in the last couple of months have husbands been allowed in the delivery room. She feels it makes a tremendous difference to the woman emotionally to have By Leigh Critchlow- Kona, K'n, Kohala Correspondent NAPOOPOO While 98 per cent of the world's babies are born at home, 98 per cent of the births in the United States each year take place in hospitals.

"Yet we have a high fetal and maternal mortality rate," explained Barbara Sims, the Kona woman who faces a day in court and charges of practicing midwifery without a license. The United States is outranked by 14 countries on the list of countries having the lowest incidence of infant deaths per 1,000 live births, she said. Topping the list are Sweden with 10.8 and the Tribunc-Htrald Photo By Ltiah Crttctilow 1 sustaining support during the birth from the husband and from either a doctor or a midwife. Mrs. Sims said she has applied for the program in registered nursing offered in Hilo, if that is the only way she can obtain her Hawaii midwifery license.

UHH Seeking 39 The only formal midwifery training in the United States, she said, is offered on a master's degree level following completion of bachelor's and R.N. degree programs. No such program is offered in Hawaii.

"In a lot of countries the midwives handle most of the Budget fiscal year to $514,000 in the proposed budget for the 1975-76 fiscal year. Hawaii Community College library funds have been raised from $155,000 to $220,000 for the same budgeting periods. PROJECTS The UHH will also ask the Legislature to increase the operating budget for the 1976-77 fiscal year to $6,502,000.

The bill calls for the ut mediate creation of a four-county coastal zone commission and a State commission to regulate development, within 1,000 yards of the shore. The bill also requires the completion of a master plan for shorelines by 1979. Sponsors of the House bill are vice speaker Richard Garcia and Rep.

Russell Blair, both Democrats. "Shorelines are the most sensitive lands, and the most valuable to all the people," Blair said. The bill is the brainchild of the. Council of Presidents, an organization of 25 presidents of. community councils.

The council's chairman, Olin Pendleton, said the shoreline act would not stop all development, but would regulate uses and heights, and provide for public access to shorelines. The bill also would ban development of the makai side of shoreline highways. Blair said that the proposed commissions would not control urbanized shoreline areas. He said the bill's principal aim is to protect undeveloped regions. Comprehensive Audit Of PLC Legislative Auditor Clinton Tanimura has promised legislators that they will start receiving what he called "the most comprehensive examination yet undertaken of a public utilities program of any jurisdiction in the United States" in late February or early March.

Tanimura's timetable came in a letter to State Sen. John Leopold, who had questioned the delay in delivery of the audit which was requested by the State Senate in 1972. Tanimura said that when the audit began in late 1972, "it became increasingly apparent that we were moving into a quagmire and that ordinary auditing perspective and audit metholodogy would not He cited as one of the key problems the complexity and scope of the PUC's jurisdiction and operations and the volume of materials that had to be examined.

CurtW Here is a brief look at some of the bills introduced in the State Legislature Tuesday: THE STATE'S voters would be granted the powers of initiative and referendum under a pair of bills introduced by Republican Rep. John Carroll. The referendum bill would allow voters to say "yes" or "no" to any bill passed by the Legislature. Petitions for referendum would require signatures from 10 per cent of the voters who cast ballots in the previous gubernatorial election. Thus, nearly 25,000 signatures would be needed to force a referendum.

Carroll's initiative proposal would allow voters to propose legislation, and then vote whether to accept or reject it. Initiative petitions would require nearly 100,000 signatures. Carroll also offered a bill for the recall of elected officials. Petitions would need 50,000 signatures. A BILL introduced by Republican Rep.

Donna Dceda would require union service fees to be listed separately on individual payroll statements. The bill would also forbid the service fees for non-union members from exceeding the fees paid by union members. REPUBLICAN Rep. John has proposed appropriating $50,000 for a study of the endangered green sea turtle. The study would include an inventory of the turtle population and the development of a program to protect the species.

FAILING businesses would have to give three years' notice of their intention to shut down under a bill introduced by Democratic Rep. Kenneth Lee. The bill would apply to all businesses employing 50 or more persons, and to any curtailment of business which would affect 10 per cent or more of the employes. REPUBLICAN Rep. Richard Sutton has proposed the creation of a nine-member council to nominate judges.

council would select three candidates for a Supreme Court or Circuit Court vacancy and the governor would choose -one to nominate to the Senate. The governor could reject all three names and receive a second list of three but would then be forced to choose among the six names. Sutton's bill would also forbid judges from resigning before the end of their full term to run for office. Judges would not be allowed to contribute or otherwise participate in a political campaign. The bill, for example, would have prevented former Circuit Judge Nelson Doi from resigning to run for lieutenant governor.

REPUBLICAN Rep. John Medeiros wants to abolish the Junior Police Officer program. His bill would put the chief of police in charge of traffic control near schools. Special adult dfficers would be trained and deputized for the jobs. UNrVERSITYof Hawaii students from the Neighbor Islands would benefit from two bills introduced by Republican Rep.
