Cloggers entertain
residents of Villa
EXETER - March at the Exeter Villa was muffin month. along with
armchair travels to Ireland. St. Patrick's activities were a highlight. A
group of young cloggers delighted the residents. They included Amy
Shapton, Meagan Parker, Jennifer Veal, Sarah Miller, Maggie Miller and
Steven Veal.
Music, always a popular activity, was presented by Eugene Hartman and
Ann Raehurn; the Christian Reformed Choir; Jack Wilds and friends; the
Fellowship Singers; Ivan Norris and band; and Marlene Mathers, Eric
Kints and Bill Rowe.
The morning of March 7 was made bright for the residents with a visit
from the Grade 7/8 of Precious Blood School. Each student spent time
with his or her adopted grandparents.
Legion Ladies pingo, pet visits with Fran and Alan Johnson, and after-
noon tea all contributed to a very busy schedule.
A pleasant and much enjoyed activity is the group reading of the news-
paper. Mary Holtzman faithfully arrives on Friday morning to read the
Times Advocate. Activities director Nancy Tweddle read the Free Press
each weekday morning.
A Mother's Day tea and bake sale will be held at the Villa on Saturday,

Seniors busy at Keenagers Korner
AILSA CRAIG - Believe it or
not, spring is just around the cor-
ner! The winter has been kind to us.
Only two activity days were missed
at the Craigwiel Day Centre for
Seniors because of the weather this
year. Sure there were some cold
days, but what would winter be
without some of those?
We started off our year talking
about some goals. Even though
there was one smart person who felt
at our age we were even foolish to
buy green bananas, most of us
agreed that some goals give life a
lot more interest. Here at the Day
Centre, everyone is quite happy to
help anyone who has set the goal of
keeping interest alive, or of learning
new things, or getting to know nes'
people. Speaking of new, - we have
had quite a few new people join our
happy family, and have also had'
some new guests and entertainers'
in. One of our seniors brought her
daughter to visit us. A retired senior
herself, she lives in British Colum-
bia and had come to visit her moth-
er for a while. She felt right at
home, and pitched in to help with
the craft of the day.
Lawrence Craven brought us a
delightful few hours when he came
to show us some of his woodcraft.
If you haven't seen all of the inter-
esting and extra handy gadgets he
makes, you should visit his booth
at some of the local craft shows. He
went home with orders for some
items that had caught our fancy and
left us with memories of many
more.
We do all kinds of things with our g'
day, from talking about our puppy A
loves, to brag about our families to 0
tossing hearts around, but our soup k
and sandwich days are always a
popular treat. Of course on some of
those cold crisp days, the smell of A
dressed in yellows and whites. We
played summer games, had picnic
unches on checked table cloths
and generally cheered things up
onsiderably.
Fred and Eva Van der Heide and
Cliff Statchell hrought some days
of music and motion. We had some
up dancing to the tunes. A few
ays later, we had visitors from the
far westerly regions of the prov-
nce. Willi and Rodi Longenecker
from south of Kenora included us
n their itinerary as they travel
hrough the winter months visiting
senitirs, with their gift of music.
Rapdy Wilson also brought his
uitar, his wife and little Amber to
help us sing hymns one day. Now
anice Karr has consented to visit
monthly with one of her trusty pia-
ists, so we will have a hymn sing
n the second Thursday of each
month. .
Evelyn has been back to show
more slides. Most recently of San
Francisco and Brandon, Missouri
nd another day she took us to Ire -
and and Wales. The only problem
we had with her slide shows, is that
t made us wish we could actually
go there too.
Peter Twynstra was able to find
some pictures of a place Eveiyn
as never been. He showed some
ace to face pictures of sharks, oc-
opus and other under water life
hat fascinated us. Between Evelyn
nd Peter we have been many

homemade soup as we entered the
Day Centre was extra inviting. We
try to match the food to the theme
of the day at times. So on Ground
Hog Day we did; - we had ground
hog in the form of sausage!
February can sometimes get a lit-
tle long as we await warmer days,
so after a cloudy stretch, we had
"Uncrate the Sun" day. We came

how much benefit it has hrought

Each visit Donna Waterman
makes is like a little gold nugget
these days. Her most recent topics
have been "Planning for the Fu-
ture," • "Care of the Skin' and
"Making the most of Grandparent-
ing.,. With the tentacles of govern-
ment cutbacks reaching out into
just about every program, these
visits are coming to an end.

Andy Dixon was back to share
some more poetry and music
which was thoroughly enjoyed. On
the day we brought old and new
post -cards to shpw each other, Vi-
ola Hendy brought some of her
collection of over 1,000 to delight
of everyone. Post-cardsare rela-
tively easy to store and transport,
and they come from all corners of
the earth.
February 29 was a big day. After
eight years of operation, we cele-
brated our second anniversary.
