the HERALD Seniors Wednesday August Old gophers and young gophers can benefit from exercise By FLORENCE WILKINSON Herald Special Just before we left on an ex tended tour of Western Canada this past June I was listening to a program in which a senior researcher was suggesting that rolling down hills was good for a seniors health Apparently when he and his wife were out walking they became quite tired and had this long hill to go down He remembered that as a child he had often rolled down hills just for the fun of it His wife agreed to go along with him in rolling down that particular hill He explained that after the in ltial dizziness had disappeared both he and his wife commented on what a feeling of well being had come over them as a result of their exploits This was what led him to decide to do ting within this area He describ ed how the experiments took place Seniors residence soon a reality The Profit Housing Corporation will officially declare the stan of construction of the Dave Coti Senior s Residence in Georgetown with a ground breaking ceremony this Friday Construction for this project located at 169 and Mam Street Georgetown will begin in September and is expected to be completed by September 1992 This 80unit complex given the goahead by the Ministry of Housing in July will cost million Construction for the project will be done by Afford Georgetown Ltd The seniors complex named after former Georgetown Holy Cross priest Father Dave Coti still on the board of directors for the Holco Profit Housing Corporation will include two separate wings with four units being handicap accessible There will be one room apartments and 8 two bedroom apart ments Each unit will a kitchen area with stove and fridge as well as a living room There will be a lounge area for

that many people have already inquired about the complex The ground breaking ceremony for this development will begin at 30 a m Special guests at this ceremony will include North Halton MPP Noel Duignan Father Dave Coti and Halton Regional Chairman Peter When we got to the West and began to see gophers along the highways I connected the spring antics of gophers with the ex of the scientist Not one gopher stood in the middle of the lane of traffic to get twirled around during these days m June These must have been young gophers which were not in need of the twirling exercise for in the spnng when the gophers first emerge from their winter hiding it is quite common for them to stand so that a car can go over them and twirl them around and around I wonder what it is in the nature of a beast or a human which en courages it to indulge in this exer cise Whatever it is it seems to be a need for young people and old gophers Perhaps the senior scientist has found out that exer uses which are good for old gophers are also good for old peo ple Have you done any rolling or twirling lately Groups Starting in the Fall Golden Circle First and third Tuesdays Sept 3 St Andrew s United Church
