In order to keep seniors healthy and out of hospital for as long as possible, the centre will possibly include mult-purpose rooms for music and dancing and walking trails. "The centre is wanting to promote fitness. A lot of seniors might want to walk but have to do so along. gravel roads and highways. That's why we want to build safe exercise areas," says Anderson. Part of Anderson's job will also be identifying potential partners to help finance the project. The recent Running for Excellence campaign, based on Dr. Carolin Shepherd, Faye Murray and Lynn Devereaux running in this year's Boston Marathon, raised close to $30,000 towards the seniors' centre. And. while Anderson says it's too soon yet to say how much the seniors' centre will cost. there are "millions more to raise." "The money raised so far by the community was overwhelming and a great start." she says.

ONss atalsble b natal latebraers alit My pkrdkl O RA leek PO But 2003. 01101e, OWE 1.8J 51'4 councillors about restricting any kind of farming in a rural municipality. "I ask for discussion and actidn on infringement upon privacy by commercial worm picking on fields that .border on homes," said John Schroeder in a letter to council. He owns a home on Ethel Line in Grey Ward and was at council's July 3 meeting to ask for their help. He was concerned about having a large group of workers outside his property in the middle of the night fearing some might break into the home or vandalize the property. One of his suggestions was to restrict commercial worm picking to no closer than 1,000 feet of a private residence. "How do you suggest we enforce it?" asked McKillop Coun. Sharon McClure. Seasonal workers, including immigrants on work visas, are hired to pick worms on farm properties leased to the companies. Schroeder also suggested limiting the size of fields in which worm picking could be done to reduce the number of employees in the work crews. The discussion sparked debate about a municipality restricting the rights of a farmer to make money by such actions as limiting the size of fields or how much of the fields could he used. Brussels 'Coun. Joe Seili said he wasn't about to support any •kind of restrictions when it is those farmers making their living off the' land that spend money .in the communities and help keep the businesses alive. McClure did not think Schroeder's concerns were valid. She did not believe a worm picker would have the time or interest in breaking into someone's home when they are busy working to receive a substantial pay check. It would 1101 he feasible for a picker to break into a home because there would not he opportunity to transport anything stolen. But Schroeder asked about the rights of private citizens. He was concerned rural councillors were siding with farmers hut was surprised to learn Seili was a home owner. not a farmer and then received input from Seaforth Coun. Dick Burgess. another •urhan resident who also did not believe worn pickers were a threat.. Mayor Lin Steftler suggested administration could check with Huron County planning to see whether or not there were any kind of guidelines that might help Schroeder or give council an idea of whether or not there was ..nything it could do. Tour will be scary without gimmicks... He is excited about the idea and said it will be a good chance to get more local people interested in the house again. Many have toured the home several times and Rea said they think they know all they can about the historical home. He hopes.to surprise them with some new stories. "I think it will be an interesting experience and will draw people back to the house," he said. Plans are still tentative for how the house will operate but he hopes to have bo'oklcts to distribute containing versions nil the ghost stories he expects to hear in the next few weeks. Anyone with stories to share can contact Rea at the house at 522-0413.- - '(Watch for our October 31 issue for stories exploring the ghost of Van Esmond House.)
