« / 6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, June 5,1996 Your Guide To: Health, Hobbies and Entertainment Visual Arts Centre is a "Cultural Treasure" by Lorraine Manfredo Thirty years ago, it was a hang-out for hippies. A century before that, it was a busy grist mill. Today, the renovated Cream of Barley Mill building serves the community as art gallery, art studio and heritage site as the Visual Arts Centre. It's Clarington's cultural treasure, says Administrator Margaret Rodgers, She was at the Bowmanvillc Rotary Club last Thursday to fri Pet of the Week This week's feature kittens are special - they all have extra toes!

Perhaps best known are the Kids at the Mill summer art camps. Designed for kids between the pges of 4 and 13, the July and August sessions expose children to the special talents of a wide variety of artists. Camps offer kids an opportunity to try everything from painting to pottery and drama. The bright and spacious second second floor studio is the best in Durham Region and that's no empty boast, says Rodgers. "We can make more mess here than you can make in a gallery of a school." Activities range from "traditional" "traditional" to a little more off-the- wall. She recalls one group of youngsters dancing barefoot in paint to make the most marvelous marvelous footprint mural. This year, the Kids at the Mill summer program includes Botany and Bugs, Construction Camp, Crafts from, around the World, a Time Machine camp and more. The annual Everything Under the Sun Festival is another major attraction with entertainment, sculpture, storytelling, storytelling, lots, of food and a festival festival atmosphere set on the picturesque picturesque crcekside setting. This year's Festival is scheduled for Saturday, August 10. And the year-round adult art courses Fill a gap in an area deprived of fine arts education, adds Rodgers. There is no post-secondary fine arts education from Scarborough to Kingston, Rodgers points out. Some of the adult courses include: life drawing, photography, photography, vvatercolor painting, pottery, pottery, felt making, and a pinhole camera workshop. The VAC also hosts occasional occasional lecturers, film exhibits and plays. The programs generally pay for themselves, adds Rodgers, but the VAC still counts on grants from the Ontario Arts Council, community sponsors, and the Municipality of Clarington, which provides close to forty percent of the centre's $110,000 annual budget. budget. "We see public funding as a disappearing resource," Rodgers says. For that reason, the Visual Arts Centre now welcomes donations to an endowment fund which should continue to grow in value. Revenue is also generated through art rental. This is a very attractive tax deduction, and an ideal way for homeowners or businesses to enhance their surroundings surroundings with a changing selection of art. Rodgers hopes to be able to finance a staircase soon to the 1 gorgeous third floor of the old mill. It is currently being used as a storage attic, but the space might be used as another working working area with its big bright windows. windows. There's always something new at the Visual Arts Centre. Exhibits change monthly.

Director Rehabilitation Consultant "Ik Emotioni Impact ©fa « i (6(H) (lib) I In our training as Chiropractors, Doctors and Therapists, we spend considerable time on the physical impact of a motorvehicle accident (M.V.A.). It is also very important to consider the emotional impact as well, in order for the patient's successful recovery. recovery. When giving your case history, all the physical symptoms symptoms will be noted but you also need to be aware of the emotional symptoms, which are similar to those experienced experienced after a profound loss. Sometimes the patient is not even aware this is what is happening to them. After an M.V.A., our sense of security and safety in the world is lost. Our nervous systems can be traumatized. Some of the emotions that surface are anger, guilt, denial, fear and depression. It is important to first be aware this is happening and be encouraged to focus on how you are improving rather than what you are unable to do. In the event of injury, the most important time for rehabilitation is at the onset of pain. Research supports more successful outcomes with early treatment. Sometimes pain does not surface for 1 - 2 weeks after an M.V.A. Again, immediate treatment, physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage will reduce rehabilitation time and costs and alleviates pain before it becomes chronic. The attitude of "It will work itself out" is not very smart because it usually works itself into chronic pain which is much more difficult to treat. It is essential to eliminate any negative emotions which may limit the healing process and prevent full recovery. A physchotherapy referral is sometimes necessary in more extreme or chronic cases where new behaviour patterns patterns and pain management are required. In any personal injury it is important to seek early treatment with a health care team that can start a complete rehabilitation program and help you on your road to recovery.
