4th Bowmanville Beavers Swim Up to Wolf Cubs Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. June 18,1986 3 Luck Follows Hospital's Board of Directors Hopes Building Will Start Soon Double Winner Of Lottario If you are one of those people who has never won anything in your life before, Auther Aves seems to be the man to go to in order to get some advice. A double winner in the Lottario draw, Mr, Aves from Ajax seems to have a great deal of luck. The first draw Mr. Aves won was in March of 1981, and as a second prize winner, winner, he came away with over $17,000. On June 7 of this year, Mr. Aves again was a second prize winner in another Lottario draw. This time the prize was over $11,000. Whether it is luck, skill, or timing that helps people like Mr, Aves become winners, winners, there are sure to be a lot of people out there who wish that they possessed some of the talent it takes to become a one time winner--not winner--not to mention twice!

"There is no good, current information information about the problems of daycare...about the daycare centres, private babysitters, babysitters, or the parents using them." Another main project this year will be to access the issue of affordable housing, primarily for renters. Are there enough decent places available for low to middle income renters? Where are the dwellings located? Are they affordable? These are all questions Susan and the 25 member board at the SPC will have to investigate closely before before presenting their final recommendations to local or federal officials. "Most people don't realize the amount of work that the SPC does," said Miss Fletcher. "That's because because the process between identifying the problem and solving it is really really really long -- it's hard to see what we do." Auberge House, a home for battered wives, is a perfect perfect example. The problem was identified in 1978, the project was completed just this year. "The results are slow but they are definitely there!" Other successful ventures include the Oshawa Men's Hostile Services, the establishment establishment of a distress centre, the expansion of Big Brothers into Oshawa, and the opening of Info Oshawa. Funding for these programs programs and more comes from the Social Planning Council's Council's main supporter, The United Way. "About 95 percent percent of our income comes from The United Way," Susan explained. "We get other revenues for special projects from government grants." But money isn't the major thrust behind the organization. organization. It's volunteer workers, dedicated staff members, and public input --the SPC can't better the situation without first being made aware that a problem exists. ■ i "I strongly encourage people to phone us and let us know what's happening in their area," said the native native of Toronto.

The Board of Directors gathered for its annual meeting at the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital to discuss plans for the expansion of the hospital, to by Stephanie Chapman Sometime in the next few months, the Board of Directors Directors of Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, hopes to see some concrete evidence that the expansion plans for the hospital are underway.

Mr. Locke said this would be done in preparation for the main construction.

The Board members have also been busy negotiating with town councillors con-, cerning the upgrading of storm sewers on Prince Street which will accommodate accommodate the run-off from the redeveloped redeveloped site. - "Our years of planning and negotiating will soon bear fruit.

Hospital Treasurer Says Finances Good Despite Constraints The Hospital Board of Directors Directors was told that financially, financially, the Memorial Hospital Hospital in Bowmanville has managed to keep its head above water this year. Gordon Willis, who is the Treasurer on the Hospital Board of Directors said, "The hospital 1 has completed completed a relatively successful successful year despite rising costs and the financial constraints constraints imposed by the Ministry of Health." The operating revenues showed an increase of 4.8 per cent over the 84/85 period, while increases in the operating expenses for the same year also occurred. occurred. The 6.3 increase was due to several varying factors. factors. To begin with, the insurance insurance coverage carried by the hospital were partially responsible for the decrease decrease in the operating surplus this year. Liability insurance increased by approximately approximately 600 per cent and the hospital was only able to obtain 70 per cent of the liability coverage that was in existence in the pre-* vious years. "This coverage has been subsequently increased for the 86/87 year to the levels we thought were desirable," desirable," said Mr. Willis. Yet another expense was the 15 per cent increase in the medical and surgical supplies, and the 14.6 per cent increase in the drug supplies. For the 86/87 fiscal year the Province of Ontario has indicated that funding will be at a level of four per cent' above that of the 85/86 year. However, should settlements settlements on union contracts exceed that percentage, and with the costs of supplies and expenses continuing continuing to increase, it becomes becomes more difficult to anticipate a balanced budget. "It also then becomes very difficult for the hospital hospital to accumulate funds for the replacement of equipment equipment and furnishings for the future," said Mr. Willis. It is apparent thatthe hospital hospital will have to look for support from the community community and from the Foundation Foundation for these capital additions additions as a result. take place soon after the tenders are opened June 12. The $7.5 million project will hopefully be underway underway by about November. Board. "This portion of the project will take three to four months to complete. In the interim, more detailed drawings and programming will take place to pave the way for a building start about November." Although the projected cost for the building expansion expansion has risen from $5.8 million million to $7.5 million, the increase increase was to be expected. Due to the fact that the original original estimate was made over two years ago, inflation has accounted for a large part of the increase. As well, it will cost approximately approximately $1 million to take full advantage of the proposed proposed basement area. "A full basement area will provide for a totally new dietary/cafeteria department department along with greatly needed employee facilities and record filing space," said Mr. Elston. Although the building project has taken months of planning and still no physical physical signs of progress have been made, the Board of Directors, Directors, as well as everyone involved with the expansion expansion project, is anxious to see the beginning of their plans being implemented.
