2-Orono Weekly Times,_Wednesday, Jannary 18, 1984 Second Class Mail Regstration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the offi ce of Publicatioln Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor Worthy of Support The Memorial Hospital Foundation group presented a look into the future as to health care and services that are proposed for the community hospial in the Town of Newcastle. The Foundation presented a $5.4 million plan to counicil in which development of an addition to the present hospital along with massive renovations are proposed as well as keeping abreast of new health services for the area. It does appear and there is total confidence at the hospitai board level that the province will fund 55 per- cent of the total cost on the proviso that the community, in one form or another, accept their responsibility to the tune of $2.4 million dollars. T-he Hospital Foundation has accepted the responsibility to raise $L.8 million of which $1.25 million is already available. The Foundation accepts the challenge to canvas the commiunity for the remaining $550,000 which is a sizeable target for the group. It is an indication that the Board is prepared to carry their part of the responsibility. The counicil of the Town of Newcastle hias been asked for $600,000 of which it hias been suggested $400,000 corne through way of the Hydro Impact fund. This seemis a reasonabie request on part of the Foundation and is, indeed, in keeping with somne action of counicil where they have established they were prepared to support a Bowmanviile arena to the tune of twenty-five percent of the cost. The Foundation is ask- ing the Town for twenty-five percent of the public sector portion of the hospital expansion plan. The support of the community is ail-important to this venture by the Hospital Board in that this support must first be forthcomîng before the province enters the picture with its $3 million. As to using Hydro impact funds it appears logical and would have, in our opinion, greater significance to this community than some of the funds already spent from 'the impact fund. Council can quickly place the bail back into the hands of the Hospital Foundcation by giving quick ap- proval to the proposaI and as well being support ive of' tile financial request mnade of them, Weil wishi the venture well and have nio doubts that it will be one of great achievemrent. No end to streetlight issue fitbas been repoted t hat a formier piroposai [roni the Town of Newcastle that ail taxpayers accept respon- sibiiity in financing 30 percent of ail street lighting ini the Town had rural taxpayers in ant uproar. That bigthe case the by-lawý, passed by counicil January 9th setting forth their niew policy and warants should almnosi create a riot. If accepting responsibilily lfor 30 percent wý,as un- palatable - how about 100 percent as is the case in the new by-law and the warrants so open-ended that Street lights couid almnost be placed anywhere in the comminuni- ty according to policy. The cost ofl'installat ion wouild be from the general account thilus spreading ýYcost 10 everyone whether or nlot they benefited. And the word is there is still thought of' bringing ail street lighting under one umibrella which really is another issue. There is rio doubi we are going to hear more about street lighting in tie Town of Newcastle - and wveli we should. Counicil bias still to gel the issue unider con- trol. And we might mention thiat street lighting cosis in Orono in 1983 rose by 69 per-cent ov'er that of' 1982 which, in itself, is unacceptable inIi hisý day, and age. $5.4 million proposai for Memorial (Continued fromn page 1) radio-ology services~, physiotherapy services, and occupational therapy ser- vices. The second floor will be entirely assigned to the ex- pansion of the long term care facility that will provide for 30 in-patient beds with ap- propriate support services of dailv living programis. Renovations will affect 80 percent of the present struc- ture in order to upgrade and expand services at Memorial. Cowan stated new pro- grams would bc introduced as day hospital, occupational therapy and appropriate clinics for services of family counselling, an aIl- encompassing obstetrical or maternity program, or- thopaedic clînics, dîabetic clinics, respiratory technology and short terra psychiatric assessment and evaluation clinics. Other services will be ex- tended aiong with intensive care services and maternity Kendal, News Waterlng thse Plants 1 watered ail the plants today, Picked off dead leaves and yellowed vines, Stirred up thse Iard earth wit h a fork, Breaking the pieces with the fines, Stood them in water in the sink So root and branch could have a drink.

Cowan said the cost of the proposai has been estimated at $5.4 million in 1984-85 dollars. He stated that agree- ment had been reached with the Ministry of Health to pro- vide $3 million but that this was on the provision that $2.4 million was raised locally. Cowan stated that the Ministry had agreed to a 55 percent share for the province and a 45 percent share for the local community. Cowan fur- ther stated that in a short period of tirne the Province would be moving to a 50-50 split for such expansions. The chairman informed council memrbers that the Hospital Board would receive $500,000 from fire insurance proceeds and that the Hospital Foundation already had available $750,000. He indicated that the Founda- tian was determined to maise $550,000 through a fund rais- ing campaign. The above amouints stated zero Fahrenheit. 1 amn told there was more people out to church and the church was warm. Let us hope the January thaw comes next weekend January 22nd, for that is our congregational meeting. Bring sandwiches and cookies, which will be en- joyed after church followed by the business meeting. Al are welcome. Mrs. Jean Curtis is now convalescing at home and returning to hospital certain days for therapy. Glad to hear that Rev. A. Tizzard is also making steady progress. The first meeting of the year for Kendal United Church Women was held January 9th at the home of Mrs. E. Foster with five ladies present. Mrs. D. Youngman opened the meeting with a poem, "The New Year's Message" followed by the hymn, "My Faîth Looks Up To Thee". Mrs. E. Foster read Ex. 31:18, Jer. 31:31,34, Ex. 3:20. Then Mrs. Youngman read a story, "Jesus Means Life For The Poor". It was the story of a lady waiting for a bus in the early morning on the southern most plain of Nepal. She saw two figures ap- proaching raising a cloud of dust,, one was small, one was taîl. The one was quite oid and stooped with age. Holding ber arm was her young companion, perfect of stature, with the proud grace of the women of Tibet. When they reached the tea shop the old lady sat down on the tea shop's shaded porch while the young one entered the shop. A moment later I heard a crash, turned, and quickly took in the situation. The hands of the young woman were still waving at the tabie's edge. On her face was fright. 1 could see that she was blind. Fromn this story the author compares Jesus ta the old womnan. Phil. 2.v.6-8. Yet Jesus is also the one who calîs us to remember the poor and work with them. ,The financial report was given by Mrs. L. Downes, our new treasurer. Mrs. A. Tizzard assisted ber in filling out the financial report to be sent in ta the Presbyterial. The minutes were read and approved. Moved by Mrs. E. Faster, sec. by Mrs. A. Tiz- zard that we give $25.00 ta Cowan total $1 .8 million of the $2.4 million expected from the community. He sug- gested that the Town of Newcastle be responsible for 25 percent of the required local commitrnent amaunting to $600,000. 0f this amount the chairmran recornmended that $400,000 corne from the Darlington Hydro Generating Station impact fund with the remainiztg $200,000 to be generated through normal grant struc- tures within the municipality. The $600,000 grant fromn the Town was suggested could be paid over a three year period based on 50 per- cent in the first year, 30 per- cent in the second year and 20 percent in the third year. In making this suggestion Cowan pointed out that 80 percent of the cost of con- struction is expected to occur in the first 18 months of con- struction.
