Spring's in the air
By Gloria Workman
Spring is steadily approaching, along
with programs for month of March at the
Day Centre for the Homebound in
Wingham. During the first week in March
the seniors went bowling at the Wingham
Bowling Lanes. Bowling is an excellent
way to get some exercise. There is lots of"
action involved that you would not get
from everyday activity.
We will be beginning our ceramics pro-
gram this month. Last year we bought a
ceramic kiln to enhance the craft portion
of our program. We had the kiln installed
during the recent renovations that took
place at the armouries. During March we
will begin by pouring our own molds from
which our ceramic masterpieces will
emerge. We are going to start from the
beginning and go through the whole
process.
now
of the renovations, they are
now complete. Through a combined effort
between the Town of Wingham and New
Horizons Committee, comprised of
members from the Happy Gang Senior
Citizens Club and the Day Centre for the
Homebound, the walls of the armouries
have been drywalled and painted. A new
heating system, lights, glass doors, chairs
and a new sound system have been added
to improve the condition of the building
which is more suited to older adults. We
are very pleased with the results.
On March 9th we are planning a trip to
Maple Keys Sugar Bush (near
Molesworth) that is governed by the
Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.
The staff have some special activities to
celebrate the "Luck of the Irish" for the
day that is named after a fellow by the
name of St. Patrick. Everyone is asked to
dress appropriately for the occasion. We
will see so much green that week that we
will "dream green."
In completion of all our hard work and
enjoyment during our, stationery bicycle
riding and exercising to Florida, we are
going to do some sightseeing from our
armchairs. Rev. Rae Grant of the
Wingham United Church is going to show
us some slides (March 22-24) he took dur-
ing a trip to the sunshine State. We have
two people that have already made it to St.
Petersburg and are basking in the sun un-
til the rest of us arrive.
Our next foot clinics are March 16th and
March 31st. Please call 357-1440 for • an
appointment.
We have many volunteers who assist
with the operation of the Day Centre. One
dedicated group are the drivers, who bring
the seniors to and from the program. We
need another person from the Lucknow
area to join our fleet of drivers on an occa-
sional basis. Drivers are reimbursed for
mileage. Please give us a call if you are in-
terested, at 357-1440. '
In celebration of Easter we are prepar-
ing some special activities during the last
week in March. We will have more details
at a later date.
Something to think about! Dr. Joseph
Levy from the Dept. of Recreation at the
University of Waterloo states in a booklet
entitiled "Time to Live", that "Growing
older should not be viewed as a time to
"disengage" and withdraw from life.
Retirement can be a period of reaching out
to new objectives and pleasures. It can be
our chance to energetically involve
ourselves with mankind. It can also mean
being left with the ultimate search of fin-
ding ourselves, our relationship to others
and our connection to the universe."
