FARM AND MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE We hqve the Experience and i Drainage Tubing Specializing in: □ Farm and Municipal Drainage □ Open Trench or Plow Method □ Backhoe Service □ Clay & Plastic Tile Installations For quality and service call WAYNE COOK R.R. 2, Zurich 519-236-7390 PARKER & PARKER Limited continued from page 1 services - particularly transporta­ tion. "It seems that not all seniors are aware of all the services," she said. "There were a lot of questions about Wheels Away which is a transportation service from accessi­ ble door to accessible door and is subsidized by municipalities." Fred Uhler, Grey township's deputy-reeve said "there's a real lack of communication between organizations as to who offers transportation services." He supports the idea of a com­ munity bulletin board where orga­ nizations and volunteer drivers could state where they'll offer rides to and when. Some other concerns raised at the meeting included the lack of church services at Maple Villa. Some seniors felt the churches, perhaps using a lay person, could offer spir­ itual nurturing at other times besides Sundays. The subject of accessibility was also brought up. According to Ms. Lawton, the only accessible build­ ing in the Brussels community are the community centre, Thrift Shop, EMA post office the United Church Basement and the Mennonite Church. "Seniors felt there should be more encouragement to provide accessibility," said Ms. Lawton. According to the survey, 30-36 per cent of-the 56 respondants also use or need home maintenance, 13 per cent are interested in caregiver relief and 20 per cent in living alone support. Now that Town and Country Homemakers has a better idea of what seniors and physically dis­ abled feel they need in the commu­ nity, they're planning to look at options to develop a wide range of home support services in the area, said Ms. Lawton. "Our agency is particularly inter­ ested in working with others who see a need for an advisory commit­ tee, services that support people socially and emotionally and pro­ grams and activities that include a hot meal," she said. So far, two people have expressed an interest in forming an advisory committee to address seniors concerns. One thing the group would look into would be an accessible loca­ tion for a drop-in and ways to fund rent and heat costs. Until these new needs are met, seniors and the physically disabled can continue to make use of ser­ vices provided by the Town and Country Homemakers which is a private, non-profit, charitable orga­ nization operated by a volunteer board of directors drawn from throughout Huron County. The agency offers home help, homemakers, visitors, telephone reassurance and a volunteer trans- portation/escort service.

Those who would like to offer more input or support are welcome to call Joan Stamper at 357-3222.
