Dorothy and Ken showed slides last Wed nesday, taken on three differen 4, trips to the west. Many of the seniors had been to some of the locations, which meant there was a lot to talk about. Bob Wittig, Wingham's Chief of Polices led discussion on elderly abuse, something which is seldom talked about but does happen. Yes, it does happen in,small towns, as well. As ---P - Will stated in last week's article, "Elderly abuse is any action which causes harm to, or neglect of, an older person. It can be physical, psychological and -or financial abuse." Chief Wittig's message to seniors was, "If you or someone you know is being taken advantage of, whether it be physically, psychologically or financially, don't be afraid to call your local police department or the local health unit for some ,help," Seniors, especially those who live in rural communities, have been conditioned to deal with their own problems but sometimes it is necessary for a third party to step in and protect an individual (in this case, an elderly person) from harm. Chief Wittig also suggested that if an overly aggressive salesperson does make his way into your home of and won't leave when you ask, it is d advised that you call a friend or family member to come and help you get rid of him or her'. Don't sign anything without the advice of - someone you trust, especially if it is t for .someone who comes to your door with a sales pitch. The next foot clinic will be held Wednesday, Jan. 27, from 1 to 3 p.me at the Wingham Armouries. Please call 357-1440 _to .._make_ an ap- _ pointnient. This week we are going to assist those of Scottish descent celebrate the birthday of the. famous Robbie Burris. We thought about s vin haggis this week but once we veyed the wishes of the seniors, we decided against it. Jim Lawrie of Blyth will be here on Tuesday in full dress (I assume) to sing some "ole" favorites of the Scottish. We will enjoy some quizzes on the Scottish and Robbie Burns as well. Just to keep you up to date on our trip to Florida via exercise: one gentleman has made his way to Florida already. The rest of us are trailing in and around Detroit and through the state of Ohio. I have seen more people riding exercise bikes in the last week than ever before. Keep it up! "Don't take it easy. Remember, age places no barrier on your at- titude toward fitness.
