Children are very special, yet
very vulnerable. Recognizing this,
the Victims Resource Center took
steps to enable children to protect
themselves from unwanted touches,
tional programs, recognized on pro-
fessional as well as lay levels, were
developed at the Center. The pro-
grams were recognized by the Eco-
nomic Development Council and
given the Pocono Northeast Com-
munity Award, and are distributed
statewide as a model for program-
ming throughout Pennsylvania.
The VRC’s “Child Safety Pro-
gram’ enables children to become
assertive when dealing with those
who would attempt to touch a child
in a way that is harmful. It’s now
well documented that teaching a
child to stay away from strangers is
not sufficient to protect them from
sexual abuse. It is now fact that
children are victimized most fre-
quently by family, relative or
friend. Programs aid children in
learning ways to say ¢‘No’’ even to
an adult, developing support lines in
areas besides family, such as a
teacher, school nurse, etc. and in
recognizing the need to “tell.” ‘No’
- “Go” - “Tell” can be the three
most important words in a child
vocabulary. :
The educational programs, funded
by Luzerne County Children and
Plaque received
Program that focuses on concepts of
good touch-bad touch, assertiveness
and the. identification of support
systems. In Jr. High, the programs
expand on the touch concept and
discuss acquaintance rape. The high
school program focuses on non-
stranger rape-abuse and child
safety.
Companion programs that expand
on these issues for parents and
those who work with children now
available at the VRC. A “Touch
Continuum Program” that enables
adults to identify and utilize accept-
able touches with children will soon
be offered by the VRC.
The Center, a United Way
Agency, recognizes the fact that
Child Sexual Abuse is on the rise. In
Luzerne County, the Center saw a
four percent increase in Child
Sexual Abuse last year. The VRC
year 1984-85, 59 percent of these
clients were under 18 years of age.
During the 1984-85 year VRC’s
specially trained speakers
presented over 200 programs fo
school children in local schools, this
year over 300 programs are sched-
uled.

programs, call the Victims
Research Center, 823-0765 and ask

Sheila McAllister has brought
electrolysis to the Back Mountain.
The slender, dark-haired young
Dallas resident opened her business
in the Professinal Building, Route
309, Dallas, in mid-December.
Sheila, who developed an interest
in electrolysis, the only safe and
permanent method of removing
superfluous or abnormal hair
growth, when she realized the
number of men and women seeking
a solution that would free them
from the daily effort of maintaining
a hair-free look on their face, legs
and body.
Originally planning to study in
Boston, when Sheila moved from
New Hampshire to the Back Moun-
tain with her husband and family,
she found a licensed school locally
and enrolled in the 300-hour course.
She completed the course and
became a licensed electrologist,
Nov. 1, and after spending a great
deal of time looking for just the
right location finally opened her
business in the Professional Build-
ing.
A native of Georgia, Sheila and
her husband lived in Kingston for
approximately two and a half years,
then moved to New Hampshire for a
short time. When Sheila’s husband
was transferred to the local area,
they came to the Back Mountain
with their daughter, April, aged 8%,
and son, Daniel, 29 months.
Sheila said she finds the profes-
sion very rewarding since she can
see the successful results, both psy-
chologically and physically, of the
treatments.
“There are a lot of people with
superfluous hair, who would like to
have it permanently and safely
removed,” she said. “Every person
differs and what is normal for some
is abnormal for others.”
Sheila takes a personal interest in
each patron and treatments last
from 15 minutes to an hour depend-
ing on the tolerance level of the
patron, density of the hair and the
area where it is.
A
She offers a free consultation
during which Sheila explains the
process of hair growth, what to
expect during a treatment, answers
questions relative to the electrolysis
and gives a brief treatment. Sheila
offers the latter so the patrons may
have some idea what electrolysis is
like and so that she better under-
stands the patrons reactions.
Although electrolysis is primarily
a cosmetic method, it also plays a
psychological and physical role in
making the person with an over-
abundance of hair feel better when
the hair is permanently removed.
Electrolysis remains the only
method of hair removal approved
by the Food and Drug Administra-
tion. Statistics, according to Sheila,
show that eight out of every 10
women have unwanted hair. So do
many men, although they do not
take advantage of the method as
readily as most women.
The process is also tax deductible
under the medical category by the
I.R.S. and is the only method of hair
removal accepted by the American
Medical Association.
Not only is Sheila a licensed
electrologist but since she is a
member of the Pennsylvania
Society of Electrologists and the
American Electrolysis Association
she is entitled to attend seminars,
workshops and symposiums where
she continues to-receive advanced
education.
Since Sheila has a personal con-
cern for each patron, her schedule
is by appointment only. In order to
treat each patron effectively, she
works about 30 hours weekly. Some
require more attention and time
than others.
Interested persons may call for an
appointment at 675-8563, Monday
through Friday from 9 am. to 7
p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. fo
noon. Appointments for consulta-
tions are confidential and conducted
in the privacy of Sheila McAllister’s
office. The time spent to discuss
electrolysis and its advantages may
be the beginning of a patron’s com-
mitment that should have been
made long ago.
