14 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, July 20,1994 Seniors' Programs Expected in Fall From Page 1 It is of some concern that other groups are interested in utilizing the building." He wanted to know if the building building could be "designated as an interim interim Seniors Centre and that discussion discussion continue towards the establishment of a permanent Older Adult Centre for Clarington residents." residents." Welsh had previously noted to councillors that funding from the Elderly Person Centre Act could be affected if there is to be joint use of the building. Sissons noted to councillors the committee has not been approached by the Clarington Youth Committee regarding the idea of sharing space. When asked about ' this again, Welsh asked the councillors "Is that the seniors' responsibility or the community's?" At the end of the councillors' MRP Expresses Thanks For Opportunity to Keep questions, Mayor Diane Hamre asked Sissons and Welsh a number of questions to reiterate a couple of details that she thought some of the councillors might have missed. Welsh told Mayor Hamre that if the centre was mixed use "with youths the funding will not be available." available." A telephone survey indicates that 90% of respondents are in favour of a seniors'centre Mayor Hamre also noted while the Clarington Youth Committee has only approached the council over the past couple of months, the Clarington Community Action Committee (the former name of the volunteer committee) has been working toward their goal since 1988, six years ago. She mentioned that the Youth Committee's appearance coincided with the announcement of the availability availability of infrastructure funding. Historically, the seniors' committee committee has been in the limelight longer. In 1993, Ciarington Council was given the results of a Feasibility Study which looked into the idea of a municipal seniors' centre. Among the findings of the study were population expectations over the next seven years. In 2001, more than 13,000 Clarington residents will be age 55 or older. In a telephone survey, it was discovered discovered that 90 per cent of the respondents respondents were in favour of a seniors' seniors' centre. Also, within the study it is noted, that a centre should have at least 14.3 square feet per senior. With a projected initial membership of 500 people, the total requirement of floor space would top 7,100 square feet. Councillor Mary Novak noted at the end of the delegation's time that the Bowmanvillc Fire Hall "hasn't been designated yet" as a future seniors' seniors' centre. Constituents Informed Visitors Enjoy Summer Tea at Bowmanville Museum Lois Cochrane and Irla Living, of Bowmanville, enjoyed the first summer tea at the Bowmanville Museum Friday afternoon, July 15. Both were enthusiastic about the idea and hoped it would continue. Dear Editor of the Canadian Statesman: 1 want to take this opportunity, during the summer recess of the Legislature, Legislature, to thank you for printing my weekly Report from Queen's Park. I am very grateful for the opportunity you give me on a regular basis every week to keep the constituents of D.urham East informed of everything that happens at Queen's Park, and more. My colleagues at the Ontario Legislature, Legislature, from all three parties, wish they had the opportunities afforded me through your generosity. Most live in ridings that have a daily paper where the opportunity to let people know about Ontario politics takes second or third" place in importance to other news items. Others get some opportunity, but mostly with limited readership. The people who read your newspaper on a weekly basis and I, am very fortunate. I have attached to my letter a composite composite report of all the issues I have debated on behalf of the constituents from December 1990 through until: June 1994. The first three pages refer to my committee involvement. These usually sat for anywhere from one week to six weeks. Since my participation participation in those debates was ongoing they can only be understood by reading reading the full report of the particular committee. The following nine pages (after the first three) lists the date and subject subject which I took part in debate or in the fomt of a statement. Feel free to use any of them to make comment as you sec fit. Finally, I want to advise you, that since my election as the Member of Durham East I have never missed one day of duly, cither on the House or on Committee. I have attended every' Tuesday Caucus Meeting. I only wish I could share with you what I have said in that forum, especially especially when I didn't agree with legislation legislation passed before us for approval. That would make for some great columns! columns! Again, thank you very much. Kind Regards, Gord Reader Passes Along Memories Of Garnet Rickard Dear John: Yes, I too have missed The Canadian Canadian Statesman and herb l am back. It would be nice to sec you also, John. I was very sorry to hear of Garnet Rickard's passing. I happened to be in my home town Orono, on June 26lh. Garnet and I wrestled all one afternoon recess, at Bowmanville High one time years ago - it was a draw. Good memories are important to us 1 believe, at our age; perhaps they help a little in our search for excellence. excellence. Best wishes to you and the Canadian Canadian Statesman.
