6The Canadian Statesman, Bûwuianvllle, August 29, 1979 Section Two Rotariana Learn About Comm unit y Care Servic'es Two volunteers from Community Care for Seniors were on band at the weekly meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club on August 23 to give the Rotarians an insight into the services they and the other Community Care volunteers provide to the seniors of the Town of Newcastle. The hard-working volunteers are Barbara Wellman (centre left) and Kathy Grundy (centre right). They were introduced to the club by Rotarian Merriil Brown (right) and thanked for their presentation to the club by Rotarian Rex Walters. By.IiWeekes The disadvantage0'ofgrow- ing old may ilot bes as great thanks to the efforts of Community Care for Seniors, a volunteer organization which started operation in the Town of Newcastle i October of 1977. With the slogan "Help us heip our seniors," the aim of the organization is to allow seniors the chance to remain in their homes rather than have to move to a nursing home or similar type of institution., There's a long iist of services which Community Care provide to the seniors of this area, and the Bowman- ville Rotary club was made aware of the extent of that ist when two volunteers from the Town of Newcastle branch of Community Care spoke at the club's weekly meeting on August 23. Barbara Wellman and Kathy Grundy, who were introduced by Merrili Bnown, gave the Rotarians a good insight into exactly what Community Cane does for seniors of oun anea and how they go about doing it. One of the services Com- munity Cane provides is a transportation service whene, for a small fee, seniors can get rides to the doctor, the dentist or the grocery store. Some seniors require a ride to a ther apist on a weekly basis. A visiting service is aiso pnovided where volunteens visit the seniors in their home on a regulan basis. This visiting service may alsobe in the form of a telephone cal where the volunteers, on thein own time, phone the seniors and have a good old chit chat. Yard work is another thing Community Cane offers to the 294 seniors who are on their list. Mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, painting, removing snow or just making some minor repairs to something around the house is done. Community Cane volunteers wili also do mending or light housework for the seniors. A volunteer will go into the senio's home for maybe an hour or an houn and a haîf weekiy to do dusting and vacuuming. Community Cane for Seniors has an office at 19 Temperance St. which is open from 9 to 12 and 1 to 4, Monday to Friday. This office also serves as a drop-in centre whene seniors can go in and have a cup of coffee on read' the newsnaDer., Thene's also a library service whene talking books are availabie to those with impaired vision on whene volunteens will make a trip to the public library to pick up and netunn books. The Community Care volunteers will even do ..ernands such as weekly shopping for the seniors.. Thene is aiso an income tax service where Rev. Tom Smith, a memben of the board of Community Cane, has been filling out the incomfe tax fonms of seniors for no charge. Community Cane even provides a senior sitting service where seniors who are being looked after by a memben of their family will be kept company when that family membens needs to go out. A small fee for some of these services is changed to the seniors. This money goes to the volunteer who provides the senvice and that volunteen may choose to donate that money to a fund for those who find they cannot afford to pay for wonk done for them by Community Cane, Community Cane is funded by the Ontario Government but the money gnanted to them is not enough to cover their costs. As a resuit, they have had to rua several fund raising activities in order to pay the bis. One such activity was a tea and bake sale held at the museum in June which Kathy and Barb were glad to report was a great success with oven 100 seniors in attendance. Community Cane has also received grants from the Town of Newcastle but these have not been on a negulan basis. Although> money is a concern forý the group, what they nealiy need is more volunteers. At present, there are oniy 169 volunteers- to service the constantly grow- ing number of seniors who feel a need for assistance. This may seem like a large number but Banb recailed a case where she had to make 18 phone calîs before she could contact someone who could take a gentleman to hospital. She pointed out that the summer is the worst time for Community Cane to get help. Rotanian Rex Waltens thanked Barbara Wellman and Kathy Gnundy for making the Rotarians aware, of the beneficial services they are providing the seniors of this area. Uninvited Guest Attends Swim Meet An uninvited guest at the recent swim meet at Memorial Park was this stray dog. Animal control officer Joanne Bromley made repeated attempts, as shown, to catch the animal after it had bitten one of the swim competitors. Another unconfirmed bite was also reported, however, only one young lady was taken to hospital for a tetanus shot. The dog had apparently been running at large for some time as his main interest appeared to be rummaging food from competitor's lunch bag left on the ground. The mixed breed, black-and tan maie, was ultimately subdued by the animal control officer and placed in Suarantine for a two week observation perioci. Accorcling to Miss Bromley, the og bears no identification and to date no person has claimed him. success. Also we would be.
