Their second defeat was by a much wider margin to White Oaks who exhibited far more experience and size. The Bearcats Senior teams season got off to an unfortunate start as they have lost their head coach from last year due to illness, after only two practices. Courageously they took to the floor with coaching direction being shared by Cory Tennier, a senior on the boys team and the co-captain of the girls team, Erica Mills. At Bateman on Tuesday they were defeated 38- 26 with Mills netting 13 points for Acton, includ- ing 5 of 7 from the free throw line. On Thursdays loss to White Oaks 30-22 , Er- ica Mills had 14 points and four other players shared the balance of the scoring. Well we have all caught our breath after the Fall Fair and the Seniors Information Showcase. I understand from Joanne Bissonnette partici- pating at the Acton Fall Fair was a lot of work, and the weather wasnt too co- opera- tive. Hopefully, they felt all the hard work was a worth while way of getting the mes- sage out that we might be 55 or over but still lead interest- ing and active lives. Even those members who arent quite as physically active still manage to enjoy the activities at the Centre. Thanks, Joanne and, all your helpers, for a great job well done. The Seniors Information Showcase was well attended with 100 people visiting the 34 booths which represented many different services. They covered healthy eat- ing, with delicious frozen meals for those unable to still cook for themselves, to residential homes for those who need a little more help looking after themselves, plus various help needs in- cluding hearing, mobility, health, exercise, even to the final needs of people. The Acton Seniors Centre jointly hosted the event with the Georgetown Seniors Cen- tre and Links2Care. It was a lot of work, but worthwhile thanks to the planning of Terri Forbes, Sherry Mitchell and Wendy Krever. Mayor Rick Bonnette managed to find time in his busy schedule to pop in and check things out. The Acton Seniors Centre also provided a delicious lunch in our adjoining Centre thanks to Lennora and her crew, and board members were there also, giving infor- mation to interested seniors and their friends. Jane McAllister our pro- gram chairperson asked me to pass on this message. That time of year has arrived and we all get them! I mean coughs and colds. Help is here. Noreen the pharmacist from Sobeys will be giving a presentation on the subject. Please come out and get some information and help on Tuesday, Oct 2 at 2p.m. Thinking of the flu season, dont forget the Flu Clinic on Wednesday, Oct 24 from 1-7p.m. in the Community Centre.
