Day Centre N�ws
By Rita Rice
Now that'the summer days
are drawing to a close and
September is here, the
seniors are beginning to get
started with some fall pro-
gram planning. -
The centre has been
operating on a normal,
regular schedule all sum-
mer, but with many of the
seniors having family
reunions and travelling,
attendance has been un-
stable.
Last Thursday a group of
about 35 from the centre
attended the Blyth Summer
Festival matinee per-
formance of "He Won't
Come In From The Barn".
The play dramatically
illustrated the troubles of the
modern farmer and his
escape when he decided to
remain in his barn, free from
the forces of modern rural
life.
Since many of the seniors
who attended were retired
farmers, each one could
clearly pick out the con-
notations. The set was made
up of two cows, several pigs
m a setting depicting the
interior of 'a barn.
Nbxt year, it is hopeful
that a group from the centre
pan attend each play at the
festival. We are fortunate to
have live theatre in the area.
Sometime in November we
hope to hold a small sale: A
significant amount of crafts
were left after the May sale
and many items are ex-
cellent Christmas gift ideas.
The next project will be
dried arrangements.
The next foot clinic will be
held Wednesday, Sept. 16
from 1:30 p:in..to 3:30 p.m. at
the Armouries. If you're
planning on attending the
clinic operated by the Huron
County Health Unit, place a
call to the centre in order to
tell the technicians how
many to expect.
The Wingham and Area
Day Centre for the
Homebound has been
operating in the Wingham
Armouries for ap-
proximately two and a half
years. It opened in the spring
of 1979. For any newcomers
to the area, or people who
have just started to read this
column, the centre operates
a social and a recreational
program for people who are
homebound which, at
present, are mainly senior
citizens.
Because of a poor tran-
sportation system to enable
area seniors to attend ac-
tivities, the centre gives the
senior the opportunity to
meet with others and par-
ticipate in leisure activities.
The term "homebound"
has many definitions. For
some people their physical
state does not permit them to
go to evening functions or
trips out of their immediate
area. Since many do not
drive a car anymore their
social and recreational life is
hampered: Since we operate
a unique transportation
system, that problem is
eliminated.
The area covered by the
centre includes the town of
Wingham, the villages of
Lucknow, - Teeswater,
Belgrave, Ethel, Gorrie,
Wroxeter, Fordwich,
Bluevale, Whitechurch and
Brussels. The townships of
Turnberry, Grey, Morris and
East and West Wawanosh
are serviced as well. Parts of
Bruce County are covered
also.
A full day program is
operated every Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
Activities consist of
recreational programs such
as ., sing songs,- .. exercise
sessions, guest speakers,
movies, crafts and ' social
games such as cards, pool
and floor and table --shuf-
fleboard. Organized bus
trips are held occasionally as
are other programs that
come up periodically.
For anyone who is won-
dering how to get started at
the centre, someone usually
refers a person„ to me and
then I contact the person and
arrange to meet with him or
her to discuss the program
and explain what we're
doing.
When the centre first
opened, many of the area
doctors and nursing com-
munity agents gave
referrals and although this is
. still happening,_ other
referrals are coming from
friends, family and neigh-
bors and our own volunteers.
If you know of anyone in
your area who could benefit
from the centre, please call
357-1440.

Roy McKay to coach Jr. 'D'
Hockey enthusiasts in

to cheer this 1981-82 season:
The Howick Optimist Club
is sponsoring a Junior" D
team in the Ontario Hockey
Association's Group 4 loop.
Group 4 will include teams
from Stayner, Wiarton,
Markdale, Grand Valley and
Southampton as well as
Howick.
Coach of the new Howick
entry will be Roy McKay. A
former arena manager at
Howick, Mr. McKay' coached
the Harriston Intermediates
last season.
The first practice for the
new team will be held at the
Wingham arena on Monday,
Sept. 21 at 8:30 p.m. The
Howick Optimist Jr. D team
willbe' allowed to draw
players within a 25 -mile
radius of the Howick arena.
. Most home games for the
Howick Jr. D team will be
held at the Howick Com-
munity Arena on Sunday
afternoon at 2 p.m. and most
.away 'games will be played
OPP will step up
Labor Day patrols
Provincial police will be
using every available patrol
unit this Labor • Day'
weekend, says OPP Com-
minssioner H. H. Graham.
The patrol units will be '
marked and unmarked cars
and motorcycles. Many of
the cars will be equipped
with radar and operate in
areas which have a high
accident rate.
During . the !Labor Day
weekend last year, nine
persons were killed in ac-
cidents investigated by the.
OPP and 636 persons were
injured.
According to Commission-
er Graham; the .OPP is
committed to reducing the
number of People killed and
injured through effective
enforcement patrols.
Some of the causes of
serious accidents in Ontario
are excessive speed, unsafe
lane changes and following
too close. Instructions have
gone out to the 190 OPP
detachments to ensure all
`members of the force
.operating during this period
do their . utmost to - check
these traffic violations.
Motorists are reminder
that the law in Ontario'
requires them to buckle up
their seat belts. It has been
proven that the use of seat
belts reduces deaths and
,serious injuries, the com-
missioner said,
"We will have every radar
unit out in our cars," says
Commissioner Graham.
"The public should know
that they'll be used in un-
marked cars as well as the
familiar black and white
cruisets."
The, OPP. urges drivers to
be patient in the heavy
traffic .expected during this
summer's last long weekend.
With a little more caution
and courtesy, the number of
traffic deaths and accidents
can be reduced.
