Wednésda^ MdV-12i' kOQ4 Orono Wefekly -Tlrhés à Funding Continued from page 2 is an article written by Jean Christie--President of Som- merset West Community Health Centre in Ottawa. She states that there are more than 100 Ontario communities that are waiting for a CHC and that the chronic under funding of these programs has forced 80% of existing CHCs to close their doors to new patients. In another article, Gary ' O'Conner (former Executive Director of AOHC) states that CHCs are experiencing experiencing three month waiting lists, cancellation of programs, programs, and high turnover of staff due to chronic under- funding. This under-funding is reflected in the fact that the last new CHC to receive aop- proval and funding was in 1999. No new CHCs have been established since then. I cannot pass judgement on the justification for this chronic under-funding but merely state that it does exist as a major barrier. In view of the lack of funding funding for this model--no matter how wonderful in pinciple, I can understand why so many other communities have decided to organize their own medical facility without government government help. Other communities communities like Brighton, Campbellford and Lakefield have decided not to wait indefinitely for a government handout. I ask the people of Orono and area, how long do they want to wait? Tino Montopoli B.Sc.

Audit Continued from front Reed is listed as a director and the President of Cougs Investments Ltd. and is also listed to be a director and General Manger of Lawrence Glen Holding Limited. According to Ward, the contributions contributions made by these two corporations of $750 each were a clear violation because the two corporations are "associated." In order to determine whether there were reasonable grounds to support Ward's allegation, council had to determine whether Cougs Investments Ltd and Lawrence Len Holding Limited were 'associated' for the purposes of the Municipal Elections Act. While Mr. George Reed is a director of both Cougs Investments Ltd and aol Lawrence Glen Holdings Limited, five other individuals individuals are shown in the Corporation Profile Report to be directors of Cougs and two other individuals are shown to directors of Lawrence Glen Holdings, according to the report written by Municipal Clerk Patti Barrie. She concluded concluded in her report to council that the two companies do not fit the definition of 'Associated' for the purpose of the Income Tax Act, and therefore the Municipal Elections Act. Mayor Mutton having declared his pecuniary interest in the matter left the meeting and handed the chair to Councillor Jim Schell. In a recorded vote, councillors unanimously rejected Ward's request for the audit.
