Seniors month at Queensway
Senior Citizens Month is now under-
way here at Queensway. This past
week we held our Grand Opening
Celebration of Seniors Month. Mary

about Seniors month and all of the
special events we will be having to
celebrate. Everyone is very excited
about our upcoming Bowl-a-rama on
June 19, and Strawberry Social on
June 26.
To show everyone just how talented
. and special our residents are, we ask -
'ed a few of them to be our entertain-
ment for our Opening Celebration.
Lloyd McDougal whistled a tune for
us and Theodore Gray played the
piano while Lorne Johnston accom-
panied him on the violin. We had a
wonderful time and ended our
celebration off with a sing -song after
Carol Gascho and Lorne Johnston got
us in the singing mood with their duet
"The Gay Cabellero."
This past week was filled with
many fun activities for our ents.
On Monday, June 2, the nursi g home
residents held a welcoming party for

Times -Advocate, Juno 11, 1966
Tenants promised support
An eight- delegation attend-
ed the r June meeting of Hen-
sall council to present a petition from
the tenants of the Elizabeth Court
Apartments asking council's support
in opposing the proposal by owner
Don Crich to turn the 36 -unit building
into condominiums. All tenants, ex-
cept one who is in hospital, had sign-
ed the petition.
Dorothy Kipfer said she was con-
tent to remain a tenant, but did not
want to buy her unit. Among the com-
plaints mentioned by other delegates
were lack of soundproofing, no in-
dividual heat controls in the apart-
ments, smelly, undersized garbage
bins, no security in the building, and
no improvements for a long time.
A letter sent to all tenants had
quoted a sale price of 844,000 per unit.
One woman said many of the
tenants had sold their homes to get rid
of the responsibility of ownership, and
did not want to own their apartments
now.
Jack Davis Holdings, acting as
agent for the owner, has scheduled
two meetings with the tenants, to be
held in the community centre on June
19 and 15.
The first is to discuss proposed im-
provements and details of the pur-
chase plan. A professional con-
diminium manager will attend the se-
cond to answer questions.
Reeve Jim Robinson assured the
delegation they had council's upport.
He advised them to all come out to the
two meetings and raise the issues
they had brought before council.
Councillors indicated their intention
of also attending the meeting.
Jim Bozzato came to the session to
get council's reaction to tentative
plans for a ranch -style 10 to 16 unit
motel on his property at the northeast
corner of Highway 4 and King St.,
with access on King. He also wanted
to know what grants would be
available for the project.
Clerk Betty Oke advised him to con-
tact the provincial ministry of
tourism and recreation. If they ap-
prove the plan, they can recommend
assistance through the Ontario
Development Corporation.
Bozzato said if the project goes
through, he will hire "local hammers
and nails and keep business in town,
no outside contractors."
Councillors agreed a motel would
be an asset to the village. They
assured Bozzato of their willingness
to help, and wished him luck.
Works superintendent John Baker
reported he is awaiting to hear again
from Ross Jackson of the MTC with
an engineer's report and a price
estimate before doing anything more
to get King St. resurfaced from the
post office to Highway 4. He is work-
ing on,theElizabeth St. sidewalk from
Ij ghway 84 to George Beer's corner,
and next on the list is Queen from the
nursing home to Wellington, and from
Brock to Elizabeth, on the north side.
Councillor Butch Hoffman inform-
ed council that a knocked -down 12 by
15 foot construction shed he and
Baker had taken to the landfill site to
be erected and used for the dum, at-
tendant had been stolen.
Amor( from the BIA said a tourist
booth staffed by SWOTA will be set up
in the Village Walk for 10'weeks this
summer. The BIA has cancelled plans
for a chicken barbecue in conjunction
with the Fiddlers' Contest because of
high costa and minimal potential
profit. •
