The estimated cost for the rapid transit extension from Pickering to Oshawa is ap- proximately $162 million. Some observers say Ontario 's money troubles could in- terfere with the starting date because of the lack of funds needed. But Snow says hie is confident the province will come up with the mroney.

Thought for the Week "Better to Wear Out (han Io Rust Out." Richard O'Donnell, New ONHA Presldent, Predicts Decade of Change Richard O'Donnell, Vice- President of Operations, Bestview Health Care Cen- tres, Mississauga is the new president of the Ontario Nur- sing Home Association. As president-elect, he assumed the presidency at the close of the ONHA's 23rd Annual Meeting and Convention held at the Constellation Hotel, Toronto, September 14 -16. He predicts a decade of change as we enter the second decade of the Ontario Ex- tended Health Care Program. The program, introduced by the Ontario Government in 1972, has now been running for ten years using the same funding formula for nursing home care and specifying nursing service requirements for residents. "The next ten years are go- ing to see enormous change occurring. The key issue which must be faced by the Ontario Ministry of Health and our Association is the future role of nursing homes in the provision of care, and a more realistic funding method recognizes the level of services required for long term care residents, " he said. "Future negotiations bet- ween the Association and the Ontario Ministry of Health will be based on the two task forces established to review the Touche-Ross report," he said. The task force groups are expected to report their findings early in 1983. The Touche Ross study - 'Report on Nursing Homes and -a Fair and Equitable Funding Miethodology' - was funded by the ONHA. The first task force is stu- dying the present and future role of nursing homes; to evaluate the part private nur- sing homes will play in the delivery of care within the continuum of care in On- tario. This group is chaired by Don Stevens of London, Ontario, a former president of the ONHA. Task force members include: Gary Chat- field, Extendicare Ltd., Toronto; Muriel Krizanc, Krizanc Consulting Services, Port Perry; John Maynard, Vice-President of Diversicare Corporation, Mississauga and J-P Paquette, a former president of the ONHA,. owner-administrator, Plea- sant Rest Nursing Home, L'Orignal. The second task force will study the financial implica- tions of the report of the Role and Evaluation by Don Steven's group. This task force is headed by Alex Jarlette, a former president of the ONHA, owner of The Villa Community Care Cen- tre, Midland. Dr. Charles Birkett, President of Diver- sicare Corporation, Mississauga; George Docher- ty of Blenheim Nursing Home,_ Blenheim; Trim Gib- son of Carveth Care Centre, Gananoque, and John iRozema of Trillium Villa, Sarnia, are members. "Once our recommenda- tions are finalized, they will be forwarded to the Ontario Ministry of Health," said Mr. O'Donnell. "As we enter a new decade of the Extended Care Program it is an oppor- tune time to re-evaluate the system. It is appropriate to study the value of level of care funding.'" During the next ten years, he sees care getting away fromt the strong caring aspect. Nursing homes will be fostering the attitude of well- being and prevention. Already, long term care facilities have utilized the concept of activation which enables residents to remain active for as long as possible. The nursing home field has a potential role to play in out- reach, to assist people to re- main in the community for as long as possible. "As far as the economy is concerned, this, may not ap- pear to be an opportune time tg talk about a new funding system. There is neyer an op- portune tîmne - but it is time to re-evaluate home care, ser- vices and funding,-' he said. T erri by Vic Garrod A person I know who from work neyer stops, Is Terri my friend at the local bake and gift shop, Quite often when shopping l'Il stop in for awhile For a wee chat with Terri, and see her tender smifle. Well I'm diabetic yet like a baby with new "Bootees", When 1 meet up with Terri, and ail of her goodies, Well her help are.aIl pleasant and firmn as a log, Terri lias also four sons and a dog. Her sausage rolîs are deiicious and sure nice to savour 0f course ecd time that 1 eat them my blood sugar does waiver, Apple strudel, bran muffins, puff pastry is really quite nice, For me each six months is enough to suffice, Her bread and her rolis A-One But that's no surprise, Also tea biscuits, cookies and tender meat pies, Date squares, donuts, tur- novers, and sweet ginger- 1bread, I try my best to avoid but once in a while lose my head. Pumpkin Pies and such in the window each day, Tom takes my by the armn and leads me away, Oh those tarts and those cakes, and I've heard people say Yocushould see the ones she makes, for weddings and bir- thdays. These sweet goodies I've mentioned along with mnany others, Takes me away back, makes me think of my Mothers, Turning out treats, 1 hope she keeps repeating, StOI the sweetest of all is her friendly greeting.
