Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1986-11-05, Page 7ILuucklIZOW Sentinel, Wednesday, November 5, 1905—IPage Many special prograrns planned at Day Centre y Pam Williams The Day Centre for the Homebound con- tinues to provide social and recreational day programs for older adults in northern Huron and southern Bruce Counties. This local day centre belongs to the OACA(Older Adults Centres Association of Ontario). The associations annual con- ference will be on November 13 and 14 in Orillia. There is a large network of Day Centres across Ontario including such places as Ottawa, `Toronto, Barrie, Woodstock, St. Marys, Hamilton, and our two local centres, Clinton and Wingham. Day programs for older adults are becoming more pops alar as our population ages and home support services become equally important to help senior citizens stay as independent as possible - in their own homes. Special programs at the centre this month include a continuation of our in- tergenerational programing.. The tern "intergenerational programing" is defin- ed by Kathy Durst of the Waterloo Adult Recreation Centre when she published her provincial government booklet on the same topic. "Intergenerational programs help dispel the myth that the older population is a homogeneous group of dependent, sick and senile persons and that all younger persons are wasteful, irresponsible and disrespectful." Educational and recreational prgrams have traditionally separated the young and the old. To change this situation, the Grade 11 Family Studies class at F.E. Madill Secondary School are -studying a unit on aging and. they were guests at the Centre to discuss how the teenage lifestyle has changed over the years. Topics includ- ed school, dating, family life and marriage. The results of this program might, be concluded by saying that, although some things have changed, senior citizens and teenagers still have a great deal in .common. ' This month, four students from Mrs. Lang's senior class at Sacred Heart Elementary School in Wingham will be volunteering at the Centre to learn more about one of their community programs. Thank -you to everyone who supported our fund-raising efforts' and purchased ' cookies from our volunteers, participants and staff. A special thank -you to the Young , Peoples Group at the Brussels Mennonite Fellowship Church who boosted our cam- paign.by combining efforts with "eir own fund-raising. The Day Centre is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of representatives from the community. A reminder to our board members that the next regular monthly meeting is on Mon- day, November 17 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Please note the time change. A safety seminar for seniors will be held. in St. Thomas on Thursday, November 0 and senior citizens representing this area will be ccompanying Bob Wittig, Wingham's C i'ef of Police, to the meeting. •For results of this seminar and crime prevention for seniors', please call 357-1445 and we will pass on any new information. A workshop focussing on the needs of the community will be held in Clinton on Thursday, November 20. Gaps and overlaps in services wil be discussed and more informnation will be published in the near future regarding the workshop. The Day Centre's Annual Craft and Bake Sale will be held on Thursday, November 27 from 3, p.m. to 7 p.m. Handicrafts and delicious homemade baking will be the features for the sale. If you didn't participate in the Mystery bus trip in October, you're probably wondering where was our final destina- tion. Our local tour included a look at the beautiful colors of Turnberry and Culross Townships, a stop at the local creamery in Teeswater, a delicious meal at a local restaurant in Teeswater and a chance to purchase apples, cider, etc. at an apple or, chard near Brussels. The bus trip was organized to prove that we don't have to travel out.of.the area to enjoy the autumn colors and terrific food. We tend not to ap- preciate our own community until we leave the area. One last thought to leave you with is PLEASE CLIP AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE SPECIAL from the Ontario Governments' boo et on Intergenerational Programing. "The magnitude and scope of recrea- tional programs have changed rapidly over the last 25 years. The older person to- day has little in common with his or her counterpart in 1958, Today's older person is healthier, possesses a higher level of education and is more economically independent." 1986-87 LUCKNOW ARENA ICE SCHEDULE Hunters urged to donate big game hides The Wingham of the Wingham distict of the Ministry of Natural Resources is again encouraging successful moose, deer and bear hunters to donate their hides of their big game this fail The collection depot will operate at the Wingham District Office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday until December 9.
