"To avoid this, the city’s roll upon relocation would have to shift from the present passive support to a more active support involving considerable expense," says the work- shop’s submission. Hayward said workshop members will continue to solicit community support and support from other Potters' groups across the country. The petition will be presented to the mayor sometime before the June 5 meeting when council will consider the plan. fi Hayward added, over the years the WPW has made four additions, interior renovations and installed a $35,000 gas kiln, as it raised the money. Should WPW have to move, expensive renovations would be necessary to any facility to accommodate the equipment, ventilation and electrical needs. In a submission to council, regarding the master plan, the WPW suggests the costs of moving and additional expenses incurred "eould lead to the demise of the WPW as it exists today" in the eventuality that memberships costs would have to rise and the number of members would drop. “Tn “mu "..u. aL- ALL .. _ Shirley Meadows, a Kitchener scooter user. is one 1etttPaiition.t.mrinjeiauGiiiiii"iiiiiiii"i; t1rer,ur..ethnehiaGtrtiiGirirGii"iiiGii' caught without a source of public tramportation. The coalition is meeting May 18, at 7 pm. at the Waterloo Motor Inn and University of Waterloo engineering professor Greg McNeice will be talking to the group about possible harnesses. Meadows said that scooter users are not coming out to support the coalition although they face the possibility of losing a source of transportation. _ "The handicapped are scared to open their mouths because they think they're going to lose their privileges," said Meadows. "I think we've sat back and people you mention (this issue) to say 'Oh, that's too bad. What are you going to do.' They never say what can we do. They don't want to help."
