the tribune thursday may 4 1j78 5 retirement the fourth quarter by leslie holbrook- last chance to enter and i as you age adjust and adapt that is a key factor for insuring satisfying senior years f- whether you are retired expect to retire at 49 or plan to continue ranunerative work past that age you should change in sensible fashion as you move along lifes coodnuum i do not mean that as the years mount up you need to don sombre attire there is nothing wrong with flamboyant gordon sinclair haberdashery if obannon stretches common sense dear sir bliss obannons view and teaching that junk food is the reason for mans deeper problems problems such as listlessness confusion and disrespect for authority and law and order really cannot be taken seriously not even with a grain of salt j who would argue against the fact that we all can physically react to various kinds of food and drink and often do if i should drink five cups of coffee in a row it wouldnt be long before the caffeine in the coffee would j stimulate and quicken the metabolism i now thats common sense but miss obannon stretches common sense into a realm which has no logical nor biblical i foundation to stand upon in one of her recent articles miss obannon mentioned she thought herself to be a christian now a christian by very i definition is someone that has irrevocably j chosen to pattern their life and teaching to the jc life and teaching of jesus christ my concern however is that kathleens views on health through right eating and exercise is a popular eastern philosophy and practise and is found i especially obvious in such groups as the hare l krishnas and various buddhist sects but is never endorsed by the clear teachings of l christ on this subject which can be found in matthew 1510 and mark 71423 of the new testament miss obannons position is very familiar to me as i once managed a successful health food business in toronto eight years ago there came a time in my experience with dispensing health foods vitamins and most frequently advice to the many who came 4 seeking relief from their problem when i began feeling hypocritical and could not shake this feeling of hypocrisy growing within me because it centered in my conscience and there was no way i was going to murder my conscience though sorry to say some have and try even today i was feeling hypocritical because my service to these people amounted really to giving a bandaid to someone with a heart condition jesus christ taught that true purity and health begins in the heart which is theseat of the thoughts and affections of a human being some are very good at polishing the outside of the cup so that it appears to be clean to everyone watching but if the inside of that cup is still dirty then has that cup really changed health foods yoga fitness programs all have some benefit to the outside of a persons i being the physical may receive some f benefit from these things but please miss obannon dont feed us the untruth that inner purity of heart mind and character comes through eating right foods q also because i frankly cant swallow that respectfully stojan ninkovic stouffville yard sale kinette club

come later away back in 1961 a vs conference on the aging set out the rights of senior citizens on the one hand and the obligations of the aging on the other today we bear much about the rights of seniors freedom from want affordable housing suited to the needs of later years the right to live independently and to die with dignity and this is all to the good not so frequently do we consider the obligations of oldsters and of those approaching senior status that 1961 conference decided that these were our obligations plan ahead for ultimate retirement but resolve to remain active alert capable self- supporting and useful so long as health and cir cumstances permit learn and apply sound principles of physical and mental health seek and develop avenues of service in the years after retirement make available the benefits of your ex perience and knowledge make yourself adaptable to the changes added years will bring maintain relationships with family neighbours and friends 6 make you a respected and valued counsellor throughout your life these obligations emphasize the need for and value of adapting to changing conditions of striking a sane balance between what you used to do and what you are capable of accomplishing as you grow older if you do not adapt as the years pass you are headed for a stressful time indeed and stress can do terrible things to you by adjusting in sensible fashion as birthdays go by you will avoid the damage that can be done to you both physically and mentally if you fight change as you age you must doug wilson adjust to people as well as to events and new situations there is a tendency as we grow older to more readily take offence at what family relatives or friends may do or say if you feel you are slighted let it pass your anger can be much more harmful to you than the slight or over sight- that caused it inohio they have an adult education course to teach older people to relax in this age of tension the teacher says he is semiretired and a quasiexpert on doing nothing- i dont go for that doing nothing bit but learning to live with stressfull situations is important retirement itself is considered the tenth most stressful event in your life plan for it if it still lies ahead if you are already into it roll with the punches but dont throw in the towel t send your questions and comments to stouffville tribune

country club wnswin regio nal councillo r slams unwise pro ject dear sir granted your readers do not recognize the name councillor doug wilson of durham region but i still feel it imperative to communicate with the people in your area on matters which affect them nearly all the politicians at regional level claim the region has been a harmful ex perience for their par ticular section of the region it would seem our main concern must be are we harming the individuals in the region more specifically the homeowners a common practice at regional council is that a local represen tative will support ex penditures for another area on the basis of being able to get support for similar undertakings in his own area in many cases some of these projects are not required the cost should not be spent and the debt should not be incurred these matters are quite often overlooked by the politician in his en- deavour to thump his chest and tell his con stituents what he has done for his area this form of disorganized and impractical spending is what has caused excess debt in durham region in turn it will in the future increase your taxes a good indication of folly of this nature is the manner in which at nine million dollar water project grandview reservoir 1 was forced into the oshawa area and it is now found to be totally unnecessary again an example the 17 million dollar works depot for the oshawa- whitby area was also forced into this area in both these cases the oshawa delegates and the whitby delegates with the exception of one in each case voted against these projects in effect they were forced into the area by outside politicians who were not overly concerned with the pros and cons and the needs of the area the ultimate debt however over ten million dollars must be paid by all citizens of durham region your selves included this means your taxes are increased by over one million dollars per year for interest costs only i think you will agree with me that this is extremely poor management and we in the oshawa area would ask for greater co operation in the future to overcome this debting i write this letter as a means of urging you to prevail more strongly on your local representative at durham region to cut down spending in every way possible i feel these are troubled times are hardly the times to play political games at the expense of the taxpayers of durham region 1 wish to thank you mr editor for the op portunity of airing my views on this matter yours very truly doug wilson durham regional councillor fresh pork 1 picnic shoulder roasts lb fresh
