HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-09-28, Page 11sh By Wendy Somerville On September 26, a cheque for $100 by the S.S. Number Four Community Club was donated to a community pro- ject designed to provide creative play equipment for Goderich Township child: en. The project's label is PEP, or Playground Equipment Project. It began last May with a group of interested parents and a playground, with what they considered, hazardous ?play equipment for their children. Carol Wammes, project president, said that the group started because they wanted more facilities for Hohnesville Public School and the community. "I approached the school principal about our ideas and he was very excited about the whole thing," said Carol. The group thought that at first the idea of designing better equipment would en- tail permission from the Board of Education, a number of parents with ham- mers and nails and a little in- genuity. "Boy, did our eyes ever open when we realized just what we were in for," com- mented Mrs. Wammes. PEP is a community pro- ject, that, with the help of the Township Council and the Recreation Committee has been meeting, researching and planning since last spr- ing. Over 100 hours have gone into PEP already. Sam Bradshaw, a parent in the community, has decid- ed to design the equipment for the project. Mr. Brad - la -oun shaw is an arctutect with the - ministry of agriculture, and he estimated that the cost of the project will run at about $15,000. There will be two units, a junior unit for children from the ages of three to eight, and a senior side for children from the ages of nine and up. The group said that the on- ly equipment available to the community now, is the small amount of original equip- ment at Holmesville Public School. They said that this equipment is 20 years old, worn out, and is being taken down piece by piece for safe- ty reasons. According to a PEP fact sheet, 259 children at the Holmesville school spend up to two hours a day, 180 days a year on the playground (over 75,000 play -hours per year) . The sheet also said that "during the 150th celebrations, frequent events will be centred at the Community Hall, near the playground." "Travellers and township residents are using the facilities on Highway 8 more each year and would have easy access to the play cen- tres." Mrs. Wammes said that it is important for people to realize "we are really stress- ing that it is a community project not just a school pro- ject." She also said that the school was chosen because it desperately needs the equip- ment, it is centrally located, many tournaments are held there and it is large. PEP applied through Win- tario and will receive more than 33 per cent of the actual cost to build the equipment. The remainder will be received through canvassing to start on October 4, and through donations from organizations like the S.S. Number Four Community Club. The project said that the equipment may appear ex- pensive because creative play equipment is built to last, and is carefully design- ed to handle large numbers of children at the same time, with over 15 different ac- tivities per centre. If the equipment was pur- chased through a manufac- turer, the two play centres would cost $30,000 and that is unassembled. "By using skilled volunteers in careful planning and design, PEP will provide the centres, assembled, for half this amount," said the group. Apart from donations and canvassing, the group is also planning two dances. The first dance will be held on November 4, at the Goderich Township Hall and tickets are $10 a couple. The second dance will be in the new year on March 31 at the same location for the same price. "We are hoping that with all the parents in Goderich Township we can get enough to turn out for the dances," said Mrs. Wammes. PEP feel that creative play equipment challenges, develops and entertains children and Mrs. Wammes is pleased with its progress. "Everything seems to be falling together," she said. Hunting 100 years ago Mrs. Elva Metcalfe in- troduced Mr. Blake Evans from the ministry of natural resources as the speaker of the evening, to the Bayfield Historical Society on Mon- day evening. His outline of the game laws, which originally came into effect 206 years before confedera- tion was most interestingly presented. An example, ir' the year 1888 deer licenses for hunting were introduced for non-resident hunters. Non-residents were defined as those who were over three miles from home! 22 licenses were sold. By 1972 the Department of Lands and Forest was form- ed as a separate ministry. It now has 235 enforcement of- ficers, nine regions each with a supervisor and having the authority of police and there are 49 districts.Locally we have the Wingham office. Huron County is conduc- ting a pilot project on rabies research to control this world wide disease. Dr. Grove Shepherd thank- ed the speaker and the presi- dent Mr. Ed Oddleifson in- vited the members to enjoy refreshments provided by Mrs. Flo Youmatoff and Mrs. Jean Oakes. Among the committee reports Miss Dorothy Cox made special mention of the gift from Mrs. Fred Mid- dleton of her grandfather's Gaelic Bible. Ever youngs pick officers The Ever Young Club open ed their winter meetings with a potluck sup- per for 42 members and one visitor.
