Residents on Mary Street, Josephine Street and Union Avenue sent a petition to the re- gion last year asking that wa- termains be installed in their neighborhood. According to a Durham Re- gion works committee report, the project received approval on June 12, 1991. The property owners who were affected by this work were advised of the Whole Baby Black Forest Ham (Honey ham) Dinner Rolls 99 ¢ dozen frontage charges and had a 21- day period in which to object to the project and/or the cost.

Second, the quality (taste and smell) of town water is poor compared to the quality of water coming from our wells. "Please note that the owner that did the original survey is no longer living on this street," the letter continued. "It seems ironic that we may now have to pay for something that he insti- gated and that most of us do not wish." The works committee report states that at the time of the original petition, seven of the 13 property owners were in fa- vor of the work. Four of those who were in favor of the project in 1990 have now indicated op- - position to the watermain con- struction. In addition, one oth- er property, where the owner was previously in favor, has changed ownership and the new owner is opposed. The cost of the project was es- timated at $151,000 of which $28,700 was to be raised through the imposition of front- age charges on the property owners.

Mr. Grierson has been a vol- unteer driver for Scugog Com- munity Care for 12 years. Drivers for Community Care drive clients to appointments mainly in the Scugog area. "We drive the clients to doc- tors appointments, to do their grocery shoping and any other errands the client may need to take care of, " Mr. Grierson said. Occasionally drivers will take a client to Oshawa, Whit- by or Toronto but only for medi- cal purposes, he added. Mr. Grierson was the first chairman of Community Care and is a chartered member. He has also served on the board in many different capacities. The drivers for the associa- - tion each have their own sched- ule of when they are available to drive. Mr. Grierson drives an average of twice a week, as he is a crossing guard for a local school and his appointments are scheduled around this time. Clients call and book a driver through the Community Care office where clients are as- signed a driver who is available at that time. Drivers can volunteer their services to fit in with their own personal schedule. "You get to know some of your clients. If they are going to the doctor's office or grocery store you know they will be an hour or more, so I drop them off and tell them when I will be back," Mr. Grierson said. "In the time in between, I can run some of my own er- rands while I am waiting to pick them up," he added. Drivers do not always have the same clients time after time, but if a client requests a certain driver the office will ac- comodate them if the driver's schedule permits, he said. Mr. Grierson enjoys his work J ' ' ' } ' ) ' ' ' } ' ' ' ' ' ) ' ' H ' ' ' ' ) H ' ' 1 at Community Care. "I enjoyed working with Liz (Fulford, for- mer Community Care admin- strator, and I enjoy working with Dorothy now (Imperial, current administrator), he said. Many drivers volunteer for different reasons. It is obvious Mr. Grierson enjoys helping people and meeting his clients. I am kind of piling up cred- its, I may need the help some- day, he added. Being a volunteer driver for Roy Grierson Community Care is not a full- time job but rather a job for anyone with a few hours to spare each week. Community Care is always looking for more drivers. Driv- ers are the hardest positions to fill, Mrs. Imperial said. The most urgent need for drivers is in the winter months. A lot of people do not like to drive in the spow, and we also lose a lot of our senior drivers in the winter when they go south, Mr. Grierson said. The only requirements a po- tential driver must have is that he/she be able to spare as little or as much time as they can in a week to drive clients. Some drivers can only drive one afternoon a week, but that is all that is needed. \ AAI OANA BE DD GJ AE = VAN CE BD JSS rdoiol RicYsTol al = dgeTe] FRESH APPLES AI El BRE Fe FY ANRC Ge IR A FARR TS | PRIS TAS 30 § 15 Financial and Business P Corporations - Farms - Small Business SN SER lanning Income Tax - Planning and Preparation
