organizer Patti Shapton.
Shapton, of RR 1 Exeter,
has been hired for the sum-
mer under a new Hensall pro-
gram to promote recreation
in the village.
Shapton noted the new
arena was built about three
years ago, and other than
weekend use, such as wed-
dings or receptions in the
community centre, it sees lit-
tle summer use.
The arena floor area is us-
ed for the fair and fiddler's
contest, but also is little used
in the summer.
There is also a soccer pitch
at the arena grounds which
Shapton says was put In about
seven years ago. There is yet
to be an organized league for
the sport in Hensel].
The first part of Shapton's
job was tohelp organize a
recreation committee. A com-
munity meeting was held and
seven interested people have
formed the committee.

Now much wood would
a woodchuck chuck if
he could save 80% on
his oil bill?
He could, too, if he had o Surefire wood add-
on or oil -wood combination furnace. He hasn't,
because he doesn't need one. He hibernates.
If you aren't going to hibernate, and if you have
a wood suppply, consider installing a Surefire.
You'll make good wages chucking wood.
Maybe even better than growing five dollar
corn in a three dollar market

Another plan is to run bingo
games in the hall.
In co-ordination with the
Hensall Legion, it is planned
to run a bingo Thursday, June

donating the facilities for the
first two nights to test the
response to bingo games.
Shapton will be heading the
Hensel' summer playground
program as well.
Shapton pointed out there
are a variety of recreational
facilities available in the
area.
The arena has office space
available which could be us-
ed for macrame or other
crafts classes. Space could
also be made available at the
public school.
Shapton said she had con-
tacted the school and found
they would be willing to allow
use of the gymnasium and
audio-visual equipment.
• The Hensall seniors' group
have shuffleboard courts and
these may be made available
for community recreation.
Programs planned for the
fall will be run by the rec
committee. Shapton noted
now was the time to organize
fall programs and gather par-
ticipants later.. •
Rather than compete
against drive-ins in the area
the committee will wait until
the fall to look into getting
movies to be shown.
Plans for a co-ed volleyball
league will also wait until fall,
but a co-ed baseball league is
planned for the summer.
The committee is also look-
ing into renting roller skates.

A lot of people want so see
recreation in the village more
organized Shapton said and
she feels the rec committee
will help get people more
involved.
The only thing holding back
a soccer league is the need for
a willing. coach. Shapton
noted Exeter soccer teams
were willing to compete
against Hensall players.
Certain programs may face
competition from other
regional facilities as well.
Shapton pointed out that
with the high school nearby,
Exeter was the place to go for
roller skating.
"If the parents have to
drive the kids", Shapton said,
they are more likely to say
"walk" if roller skating was
available in the village.
Shapton will graduate this
June from the recreation
leadership program of Con-
estoga College.. The two-year
program offers a variety of
courses on everything from
administration • to
programming.
Her courses also included
facilitiy design, programs for
special populations such as
disabled persons, and even
grant applications, which
may assist organizing groups.

WHAT SHOULD 1 LOOK FOR IN A
NURSING HOME?
People often tell. us about their experiences
with nursing homes. We have some very fine
ones in our area and there'are just some of the
things to look for in choosing a nursing home.
• 1. Consult first with your doctor as to the par-
ticular type and amount of care required.
2. Visit the facility yourself, alone.
3. Does the home provide all the services your
doctor requires?
4. If the patient is dependent on a provincial
or private insurance plan, does the nursing
home participate?
5. Who is the "house" doctor? Is he available
on staff : or on-call 24 hours? How many
registered nurses?
6. Are emergency patient transfers to 0
hospital provided for?
- 'How far away is it?
7. What is the exact total monthly charge
covered and what is and is NOT covered.
Be sure to discuss with the patient's doctor
other special services he may require --special
diet, exercise, personal attention, etc.
