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."
