"Scugog"s Community Newspaper of Choice" +e ~~ fr. € - N Nh PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 28, 2000 - 3 Six months into job, hospital official resigns After less than six months on the job, Roy Manuel, the Chief Operating Officer for the Port Perry and Uxbridge hospitals, has tendered his resignation. Lakeridge Health Corp. CEO Brian Lemon announced last week that Mr. Manuel had submit- ted his resignation. "It is with regret that | have accepted the resig- nation of Roy Manuel, COO of (Lakeridge Health) Uxbridge and Port Perry sites," said Mr. Lemon last Thursday (Nov. 23). "Roy submitted his res- ignation to me today, and it is effective Dec. 15, 2000." Mr. Manuel had only just joined the Lakeridge Health team in July. He was to look after the day- to-day operations at the sites in Port Perry and Uxbridge. He came to Durham with extensive experience in health care administra- tion, after years of work in his home-province of Newfoundland. In a short statement, Mr. Manuel said he is departing Lakeridge Health Corp. for personal reasons. " have enjoyed my Manuel stay at Lakeridge Health. It is a great organization. This decision was very difficult to make and | am resigning for personal rea- sons only," he said in the press release. "I wish everyone at Lakeridge Health well, and am certain that you will continue to provide great health care services to the communities you serve.' Mr. Lemon said Chris Kooy will become the act- ing Chief Operating Officer at Port Perry, and continue as COO at the Bowmanville hospital. Garth Johns, Lakeridge Health's Corporate Director of Human Resources, will assume the COO position at the Uxbridge site.

Superintendent Jack Massie presented a report to the Durham District School Board ear- lier this month. The new rating system scores the schools in areas of clean- liness, condition, com- fort, access and partner- ships with other schools. The system gave a score out of four, with four being excellent and the scale descending to good, satisfactory and poor. Principals at each school conducted the rat- ing and reported figures to the board. Cartwright Central Public school rated in at 3.1 (good) and Cartwright High School - a mainte- nance headache for the board because of the age of the building and the high number of portables on the site - still man- aged a 2.3 (good) rating. Port Perry schools S.A. Cawker, R.H. Cornish and Port Perry High School all rated their facilities as satisfactory, while Prince Albert Public School rated at 2.8 for a level of good. Greenbank and Epsom Public Schools rated themselves as good, although the final tallies for these two schools were still listed as incomplete. Mr. Massie said the report will be submitted regularly to the board from now on. in 3k FREE GIFT WRAPPING CIDER AND GOODIES ON Sale ends Dec. 12, 2000 THE WEEKENDS BR@CK'S [78 Queen MIRA Port Pern NE UORS- 521 [elf ~~ ; Kids 168 - selected Women's 100% cotton tops by Fe XE de © 20; selected Men's & Women's sweaters x 20 selected Kid's Sleepwear & Robes cr 207 Men's & Women's and Kid's Slippers | I PN PIPPI Sa eee
