(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Early this year, a wagon was pushed into the woodworking shop at the Bluewater Centre for the •Developmentally Handicapped. It con- sistedof four wheels and some rusty looking hardware With a platform perched on top. The question was put to supervisor of the shop, Fritz Basler: Could he and the residents make something of this wagon? Well, Mr. Basler didn't have any plans for 'the reconstruction of such a wagon and although he had never worked on ° anything like it before, he decided to take it onas a special project for the. residents he teaches. Four weeks later, the platform with four wheels was transformed into a beautiful oke show wagon of simple solid design complete with chrome handrails and a padded seat. The total cost for its reconstruction was $614 (this included new tires). The cost was un- derwritten by the Cen- tre's volunteer association • - Mr. Basler . calls the show wagon "an original". and estimates that it could now be valued at approximately $2,500. Although it hasn't made its debut yet, the wagon will be drawn by four white ponies in eight to ten parades around the county this year. •It will. also be on display during special ,days at. the Centre. Entering the wagon in parades in various communities is good public relations for the Centre, explains Bill Gregg, facility director. "It makes people aware of the Centre. It tells them we're here and that we're also interested in the progress of their towns," he says. The wagon also serves another. •purpose --to ride in it during parade is socially stimulating for the residents. Everybody loves a parader,The residents are Hiway' asking w'hen's the next .parade? Can we go?," says Mr. Gregg. The reconstruction of the wagon provided many hours of enjoyment, enthusiasm and pride on the part of the six to eight residents who had a hand in transforming it. The 'project generated much interest with everyone at the Centre and it was a labor of love right from the start. Mr. Basler explains that the. project also helped keep the residents Turn to page 14A e Brock and Gerald, two residents at the Bluewater Centre, work in the Centre's woodworking shop under the supervision of Fritz Basler and Lyle Brown, Here, they take some measurements on lawn furniture.
