man on
the road
again

GLEN WOTTEN is finally on
the road.

After more than one year of try-
ing to get a medically endorsed
scooter, Wotten got his wish ful-
filled last month.

“I do like it. I'm just trying it
out and getting used to it,” said
Wotten.

The 47-year-old North
Vancouver man with mental chal-
lenges has a degenerating bone dis-
ease which makes walking diffi-
cult.

The Social Services Ministry
denied his request and appeals for a
scooter three times last year.

A ministry official stated
Wotten’s medically essential need
to have a scooter was not con-
firmed. He could walk and use pub-
lic transportation.

Wotten relied heavily on a cane
and estimated that he could walk
less than two blocks. He has a heart

condition and becomes short of"

breath tackling steep sidewalks
near his home.

Wotten’s bank, Hongkong Bank
of Canada on Lonsdale Avenue,
donated $400 toward the repair of a
donated scooter. Local residents
donated about $700 in Wotten's
name to the North Shore Association
for the Mentally Handicapped
(NSAMH). He also received donat-
ed scooter accessories.

Armed with $1,185 worth of
donations, a NSAMH representa-
tive approached the ministry one
more time. Social Services agreed
to kick in the rest of the cost.
