OTHER ~.MOD A TE RIA LS SOKING WEST BOWMANVILLE Ontario Hydro made a presentation to Newcastle Council Monday night. A delegation of six representa- tives from Hydro described different aspects of the pro- posed Darlington Generating Station to the west of St. Mary's Cement and south of Hwy 401, and the need for establishing a liaison commit- tee between them and the town in order to establish how the community can use condi- tions created by the plant. It was indicated that the town could maintain a park near the proposed plant and could make use of water that is 20 degrees warmer. Couneillor Kirk Entwisle read a motion passed by council at an earier date to the effect that the town could not support any proposai for the plant until public meetings were held and a public referendum was held. Council- !or Entwisle asked if Onfario Hydro would hold a publie referendum. He was not given a direct reply so he asked the question again. The question was asked a third time by Couneillor Ken Lyal 1who was informed by a Ontario Hydro spokesman that it was not the policy of the company and it had not been done before. Council then permitted Bill Beaton of Pollution Probe, Toronto f0 give a brief as t why . any approvals for the proposed plant or 500 kv corridor should be deferred at this time. To a question of cost of the proposed Darlington generat- ing station, an Ontario Hydro, spokesman said it would cost $12 billion in 1974 dollars, but it would not be constructed until 1976 and it would then cost $3 billion. Mayor Garnet Rickard commented that the municipal tax assessment at 12 percent, would make the taxes levied from the plant greater than the assessment for the enfire municipaiify. To a statement made by Mr. Beaton of Pollution Probe that the Ontario Energy Board had not given approval f0 fhe plant, he was told that final approval had not been given, but Ontario Hydro had appro- val in principle. Two interesting points about the proposed stafion are thaf if will be set on an elevation lower than can be seen from Hwy. 401 and will involve projecting the shorelne out into the lake at that point. Council held their original position of no support until public meetings and a public referendum were held. More on this story in Next week's Canadian Statesman. IL New Supt.L At a special meeting of the Four Courty R.C.S.S. Board, held Nov. 28th, Peter Roach, former Assistant Superinten- dent of the Peterborough - Victoria - Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Edu- cation, was designaed as Superintendent of that same board to replace Fraser Hogle. Mr. Hogle's resignation would be in effecf Dec. 31, 1974, while Mr. Roach's as- cendnecyf the position will be effective Jan. 1, 1975." Guests Tour (From Page-One) which wil burn constantly when the weather improves. The entrance way resembles a Spanishacloister with wite stucco arches leading f0 the sumptuous red and black foyer. Mrs. Beaucage, combining business with her hobby, did all of the interior decoration. The decorating tbrougbouf 1 tends f0 theheavy Spanish look with flame-proof red velvet curtains and black vinyl couches. MinistFry of Health regula- tions require that 60 percent of nursing home beds be of a ward type. But at Strathaven "wards" only have four beds. In addition, there are senai private and private rooms, some equipped wifh private baths. The Beaucages have even included a large room designed f0 afford a couple maximum privacy. Every room has an individ- ual temperature confrol and TV. andtelephone outlets for the residenf's convenience. The batbrooms have al been specially designed for different disabilities. Tbey al have "telephone showers" andt aps with confrols that allow one to choose a tempera- ture and then lock the position to avoid any temperature variation. An elaborafe air condition- ing system changes the air every three minutes through- out the entire building. A back-up generator has been installed to avoid any disruptions if there is a hydro black-out. The entire building is equipped with an intercom system which keeps nurses and administrators constantly in touch with each other. The ultra-modern kitchen is equipped to serve special diets for residents. Menus are made up in advance and strict regulations are followed re- garding the amount of protein, etc., served. Used dishes never re-enter the kitchen but are washed and sterilized before returning to the food preparation area. This com- pletely eliminates the possibil- ity of bacterial contamination. Mrs. Beaucage explained that ber philosophy of nursing home care is to keep the residents active and busy To this end they have an Activi- ties Director who, with two assistants runs a daily exer- cise therapy session, a Tues- day night bingo game, a sing song, and a weekly evening of films. With the new arts and crafts room, a regular pro- gram for handicrafts can now be instituted. Weekly non-denominational church services are held by Rev. T. Smith of Newcastle United Church. Other minis- ters and priests visit occasion ally to conduct services. Medical care is of course of paramount importance in a nursing home. Individual doc- tors visit monthly or quarterly and two house doctors are also retained. Mr. Beaucage ex- s lained thafthey have a close iaison with the hospital and serious problems are immedi- ately taken f0 the hospital. Medications are adminis- trated on the blister system. Each resident has a card wbich lists bis requirement s. Ifhe is receiving pils the correct dosage is sealed righf on the samne card. Ail the nurse bas f0 do is punch them out. Apparently tins is a great' Dime-saver. Durham College nursing students get some of their clinical experience at Strat haven so there is a classroom and a conference room built into the new building for their convenience. At present, Strathaven is licensed to accomodate 120 people. If, in the future, the Beaucages are able to get a larger licence, a third storey can easily be added to the building. Mr. Beaucage is quite detnite aibo the ee or expanded facilities. "There is a shortage of nursing home beds in Ontario . . .Every nursing home has a waiting list." He explains that the government is reluctant to license additional facilities because, under the Extended Care, the government inust pay $1050 per day for each resident of a nursing home. Mr. Beaucage charges that the Davis government is working with out-dated statis tics which suggest that only three per thousand people over 65 need nursinguhome care. Mr. Beaucage suspects that this figure should be doubled. To qualify for nursing home care, an individual must get a doctor's certificate stating that he needs at ieast 112 hours per day of nursing care. There is no age specification. Although nursing homes are all privately owned they have rates fnxed by the Ontario government. Despite differ- ences in the quality of' facilities, the prices must remain at government levels. Thus any Ontario resident over 65 can afford to go to any nursing home he chooses, providing he can get in. For example, ward bed costs are set at $17.50 per day. The resident must cover $7 per day of this fee from his pension. Mr. Beaucage ex- plained that the pensions just cover the resident's expenses. In the case of wealthier residents they may opt for semi-private or a private room. At present the law requires all nursing homes to partici- pate in the extended care provincial scheme, but Mr. Beaucage, who has been vice-president of the Nursing Home Association, hopes that this will soon be changed. He agrees with the Nursing Home Association which advocates that nursing home owners should be allowed to work a little more freely within go- vernment guidelhnes and mini- mum standards. We wish the Beaucages good fortune with their new enter- prise and hope both they and their residents will be very happy in their lovely new surroundngs Mrs. Reisier (From Paqe One) for a total of 2,079. The third candidate George Sneyd of Port Hope, polled 1,180 votes in Port Hope and 420 votes in Hope for a total of 1,600.Only two candidates could be elected so Mr. Sneyd was out of the running.

On the actual date Nov. 27th the family hosted a dinner at the ýFlying Dutchman, Bow manville, when about 35 guests were resent. Toasts were proposed and music was provided by Mrs. T.
