Projects Given Go-Ahead Tom Cowan, Chairman of the District Health Council, announced today the priorities for hospital projects recommended recommended to the Minister of Health, the Honourable Keith Norton. Top priority for major construction construction is the expansion of the Ajax - Pickering Hospital, previously recommended by the District Health Council in 1981. The number one project for operating dollars is a $1.4 million 40 bed Regional General Rehabilitation Program, Program, located at Oshawa General Hospital. "Weareone of the few districts in the Province without a recognized General Rehabilitation Program"' Program"' said Mr. Cowan. "Statistically speaking, we are short some 170 hospital beds in the Region, most of which are for chronic care and rehabilitation" he continued. Currently, stroke patients and severe fractures treated at Oshawa General Hospital often have to remain in active treatment or chronic care beds for four weeks to three months, which ties up these beds for both acute medical - surgical patients and those requiring continuous long term care. "The Rehabilitation Program Program will serve residents from across the Region of Durham and will complement the reactivation program being developed at the Dr. J. 0. Ruddy Hospital in Whitby" said Mr. Cowan. "We hope the Minister will agree with the need for this program and give us his approval soon" he continued. The program was first recommended by the District Health Council in 1980. * " Other , programs recommended recommended for funding by the District Health Council are: Diabetic Day Care Program for Uxbridge, Port Perry and Bowmanville; Respirology Service for the Region; Upgrading of the Emergency Emergency Department at Oshawa General Hospital; A Regional Palliative Care Program and a Unit Dose System for Medication distribution distribution at Oshawa General Hospital. Total Cost of those programs programs is $600,000. Spring Planting Time, Time to Dig in New Plants. Now is the time to start planting your new evergreens and trees, rose bushes and all hardy outdoor material. Most Garden Centres are bursting at the seams with fresh new plant material, and what a crop it is this year. The fresh, new evergreens that have just arrived from the growers are probably the best crop produced produced for the last 10 years. Most plants such as evergreens, evergreens, trees and shrubs are potted or wrapped with a burlap bag to keep the roots intact, surrounded by the soil in which they were grown, making the transition from the nursery to your home as easy as possible without the roots drying out. The areas where you are going to plant fresh plants should be thoroughly prepared before planting. As the old saying goes, you should never put a ten dollar tree in a 10 cent hole. How true this is, especially with the type of so called soil left behind by the builders. Check the soil carefully, see if you can dig it up with a spade or shovel. If you have problems getting the shovel into the soil, it is likely clay which is no good for growing any plants. In this case, the best thing is to remove the clay entirely from the planting area to a depth of at least a foot and then fill back in with fresh topsoil mixed with peatmoss peatmoss and manure. If the soil appears to be nice and fluffy and of a dark texture then all you will need to do is add a liberal amount of. peatmoss and manure, then thoroughly mix it through the soil. This will give you water retention and also add valuable plant food to the soil, so that the new plants will quickly adapt to their new growing conditions. MERVYN B. KELLY Law Office General Practice The s Federal Building (Post Office) 2nd Floor - Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3A0 Telephone 623-4444 When the new plants come, check them for moisture. If they appear dry give them a good shot of water, this will make it easier to remove them from the pot. The next step is to dig the hole twice the size of the root ball or the size of the pot, then place the soil on the side and if you missed putting peatmoss and manure through the soil, now is the time to add this to the pile of soil and mix thoroughly, giving you a good mix to start the plant. Next, place a layer of this mixture at the bottom of the hole, set in the new plant, then in the case of the paper pots, take a knife and slice the side of the pot, then carefully remove the top part of the pot, and leave the bottom, which will rot within a year. In the case of a burlap ball, loosen the top of the burlap and tuck it in to the bottom, which will also rot quickly. Never leave the burlap or pot on, since this will dry out the roots. The next step is to fill the hole about half way with soil and tamp in firmly, then take the garden hose and fill the hole with water. This will make the ball of roots moist and also the area around the plant. This will also take out the air around the freshly planted trees. After the water has drained, then add a transplanting transplanting solution with a low nitrogen fertilizer, but a high phosphorus content, this will get the roots started quickly, and then watch them grow... 1 grow... Things to do This Week Still time to gét the birches done with Cygon 2E. Fertilize lawns with a high nitrogen fertilizer. If crabgrass is showing, use a fertilizer with crabgrass control, or spray with Betesan, which is a crabgrass crabgrass preventer. It's time to uncover the roses, and prune them back to five inches, except climbers, just trim the long ends. Onions can be set out in the garden, if the soil is dry. Early potatoes can now be planted, again if the soil is dry. Until next week, happy gardening. Four members of the W.
