The "Volunteer Recogni- tion Night" gave special notice to the 171 people from this community who volunteer their time and_ efforts in a variety of ways' for Community Care. .Chairperson Marion Larmer and co-ordinator Elizabeth Fulford both said - that Community Care could not continue to function without the work done by the volunteers. ° "The work done by the men and women who take the time to help their neighbours is very important," said Mrs. Fulford. Community Care's annual report shows that the number of volunteers serving the organization now stands at 171, up from 159 a year ago. 'During the past 12 months, the volunteers contributed 2450 hours of direct service and an additional 1041 hours of work in the Corhmunity Care office on North Street in Port Perry. The volunteer work, which is aimed mostly at the elderly or the handicapped, includes a wide variety of jobs; everything from Meal on Wheels, transportation for medical appointments, home' repairs and main- tenance, errands, phone calls, security checks and the all important visiting at home with the elderly. Aside from the Meals on Wheels program which delivered 2557 meals in the last- 12 months, transpor- tation was the most widely used service and the volunteers logged a total of 15,000 miles last year. Scugog Community Care is Report says north Durham gets virtually no industry New industrial develop- ment 'in Durham Region appears to be by-passing the three northern Townships of. Scugog, Brock and Uxbridge. A detailed report. from Durham Region's industrial development and promotion department says that new and expanded industry in the Region increased by 50 per cent in 1980 over the previous year, but virtually none of this growth took place in the three northern Townships. - The report states-that in permits about 940,000 square feet of new structures and 736,000 square feet of expansions to existing industry. However, there was no new industry or expansions Budget (From page 1) 7 $214,000 in the 1980 budget. "We have tried to be - realistic with the budget, and one of our aims was to see that we don't run another deficit this year," said councillor Wolters. In raddition to not budgeting for the fire hall, councillor Wolters said that other cuts include part of the for community He also said the budget will probably mean that. prime time -ice rental Port Perry and Blackstock will have to be increased. He said one item not cut from the budget was the request for $7500 from the" Museum Board. "We didn't have much choice there. If we cut the budget, the museum would not be able to pay for a full-time . curator," said councillor Wolters. In talking about - the budget, councillor Wolters said it is time Scugog and the other rural municipalities try to get some action from the provincial government to reduce their share of the Regional budget increases. The tax hike for Regional purposes this year in Scugog will be about 18 per cent, while Oshawa's share will be about 11 per cent. "there is something wrong with the system, and it needs to be changed," said councillor Wolters. Meanwhile, the full Scugog council will debate the local draft budget at its next regular meeting April 13th. in Scugog last year, and the picture in Uxbridge and Brock was just about as bleak. Brock Township reg- istered a single 15,600 square foot addition and St. Lawrence Starch built a new 10,300 square foot building in Uxbridge. Oshawa, Whitby ana Pickering were the areas in Durham where . thé major new and expanded industrial' activity took place, with a few exceptions in Ajax and Newcastle. The report says that the Region's industrial »-promotion staff spent considerable time in 1980 dealing with the problems of plant closings such as Houdaille in Oshawa and Firestone in Whitby, and 'on many projects that did not end favourably for Durham." The Region owns ang manages two industrial parks, one in Whitby with 45 acres, of which 18.5 are serviced; and the other in Sunderland with 20 acres serviced with municipal water and paved road. The Whitby park has a total of 26 acres ursold, including 12 serviced acres. The only land sold in the Sunderland Park has been to the Regional police force for construction of a new police building last year. - PORT PERRY STAR -- Community care salutes 171 volunteers now in its fourth y operation, and in her report to the annual meeting, Mrs. Larmer said the objective of service to the elderly, the handicapped and those with special needs "has been actively pursued." One new program under- way since January in co-operation with the Durham Health Unit provides foot care twice a month for senior citizens. In addition to providing transportation, delivering meals, maintenance, Communi Care co-ordinates volunteer program to assist people who have exper- ienced mental stress. Guest speaker at the annual meeting was Dr. Claude Vipond of Oshawa, a specialist in rehabilitative medicine. Dr. Vipond paid tribute to the work done by volunteers in numerous community organizations, and he noted that 1981 has been designated by the United - Nations as the International Year of the Disabled to focus "attention on the disabled and their problems. In an interesting address to the meeting, Dr. Vipond outlined some of the work being done in the field of rehabilitative medicine for victims of strokes and crippling accidents. He said the purpose of this kind-of medicine is to help these people as much, as posible adjust to. their circum- stances. ) He noted that advance- - ments in medical science in general have been enormous home repair and in the past 26 years, wiping out almost totally such diseases as small-pox in this country and controlling others like tuberculosis. He said that the advance- ments are saving the lives of stroke, heart attack and severe accident victims who 20 years ago probably would not have survived. The fact that they are surviving is presenting new medical problems, he said especially . in- the field of rehabilitation. A new advisory board for the coming year was named at the meeting last week.
