< 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 28,1987 Local Health Care Campus to be Developed N.D.P. Nomination From Page One The latest contemporary health delivery system, through the implementation implementation of programs with facilities facilities that will take the form of a health care campus, has been announced by Memorial Memorial Hospital in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. Ease of accessibility and evaluation of needs will be the focus of this central central community convenience. convenience. However, few North American communities have seen this convenient, full service concept extended extended to the health care field where comprehensive facilities and services geared to local needs and resources are available in one complex that deals with the full life cycle from birth to old age. Locally, the Town's community community hospital is about to become an exception to the traditional health service presentation model. Indeed, Indeed, the health care campus campus envisaged by the hospital's hospital's Board of Directors will be a pace-setter in this regard. regard. A three-year plan - to run concurrent with the hospital's hospital's existing expansion project - will ultimately transform the facility into a comprehensive health care campus that will provide a continuum of multi-level care programs that will meet both health and social needs of the area residents. In order to develop an initial initial solid foundation from which the proposed campus complex may grow and flourish, the acquisition of a local existing nursing home (South Haven Nurs- i ing Home in Newcastle) consisting of 60 extended health care beds, has been finalized. Neither the hospital nor the hospital's Foundation has purchased the nursing home, but rather a separate incorporated non-profit organization organization composed of a directorate of community volunteers has made the purchase. It is expected that the facility will be self supporting financially with capital resource provided under normal business arrangements arrangements with the Royal Bank of Canada. Richard Elston, executive executive director of Memorial Hospital Bowmanville, made it abundantly clear that there has not been nor will there be, funding provided for this new com- Mayor's Letter Suggests Alternate Plan for Arena January 7, 1987 Letter to the Citizens of the Town of Newcastle Subject: Bowmanville Arena Project Dear Citizens: As you may be aware, the Town has approved a new arena to replace the old Bowmanville Arena which is in desperate disrepair. Although I support a new facility, I also believe that in the planning process, it is the responsibility of Council to always strive to get the very best value of our tax dollars. In this particular instance, instance, our Council has deliberately deliberately rejected an opportunity opportunity to save the taxpayers taxpayers more than One Million Million Dollars. As one Councillor Councillor put it, after the meeting, meeting, "What's another million million here or there?" Attached is the report iwhich I presented-to Council Council as part of the debate. I ask that you take the time to review it so that you may decide for yourself as to whether or not you agree with me, that Option #2 is a wiser choice. As background information, information, I wish to emphasize that the proposed arena would be exactly the same at both sites. Also it has. been rumoured that the de- 'veloper who has ; volunteered volunteered to donate this property, property, is seeking other "favours." , This is absolutely absolutely false. I thank you in advance for taking the time to review this brief and I encourage you to call me personally, if you have any concerns. It is important that the citizens of our Town are kept informed1 informed 1 of all the true facts in such important matters. Let your representatives know how you feel. Yours very truly, John Winters The following report was prepared by Mayor Winters on the subject of the two ' arena locations considered by Newcastle council: Bowmanville Arena Project Project After many months of wrestling with the decision as to the components and the location of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Arena, Mr. Kotseff should be congratulated for his initiative in taking charge of the program and in a relatively short period of time orchestrating a report report with which council could make a more informed informed and responsible decision. decision. This new information reveals reveals that all the prior reports reports which had been presented presented to council were substantially substantially inaccurate in terms of cost estimates, and I believe that this was one of the prime factors contributing contributing to the prolonged debate over this project. Schedule A indicates that the cost of a twin pad arena is approximately $1.7 million million dollars more than originally originally reported. If we are to stay within the original estimate it now appears appears that the project would afford a single pad arena with a community hall. It is also apparent that there is a cost differential of over $1.1 million between the two site options. The significantly significantly lower cost at the Martin Rd. and Baseline site coupled with future operating cost savings makes this option a very reasonable alternative. The fact that the town has already already acquired the Hwy. #2 & 57 site should not have any impact on council's decision decision as the purchase price would most probably be redeemed redeemed if the property were resold. Under the current conditions conditions it does not appear that a twin pad arena is warranted.: warranted.: This 1 is basically confirmedfby both the culture culture and recreational master master plan and the arena feasibility feasibility study. Presently we have one arena for every 8000 people. The average generally required is one arena for every 20,000 people. The highest growth area in the town is in Cour- tice with anticipated population population rising to approximately approximately 25,000 people. Based on these statistics and the geographic distinction of the Courtice area it is most probable that the size of the community will eventually call for a community recreational recreational facility of its own. The attached schedules are two possible options of how council might choose to spend the $4,957,900 on behalf behalf of the taxpayers. J. Winters Mayor Option 1 Schedule 1 Highway #2 & 57 Location Location • One Single Pad Arena & Community Hall $4,957,900. Council Chose This Option Option Recorded Vote: Yea plex that is hospital-generated hospital-generated or funding provided by The Foundation for hospital hospital redevelopment. Financially Financially speaking, it will be completely independent from the earlier campaign of raising funds earmarked for the expansion of our existing hospital facility. With the completion of the already approved expansion expansion and renovation program for the hospital, it will be well equipped to meet the needs of active treatment requirements of patients through its birthing birthing suites, Emergency Departments; Departments; routine surgery and many additional support support programs, including Physiotherapy, Occupational Occupational Therapy; Diabetic Education; Day Clinics for Orthopaedics; Urology; E.N.T. and Psychiatry plus various assessment and evaluation'programs. The planned free-standing free-standing addition which will introduce introduce the multi-level care concept, will place considerable considerable emphasis and focus on the care and comfort of the elderly. To independently support support the need for the concept, concept, a Feasibility Study was conducted by Stevenson, Stevenson, Kellogg, Ernst and Whinney - the results of which identified a positive, geographic growth in our service area, specifically in the aged population. In addition addition to the demographic support document, a further study by the same consultants resulted in an area survey indicating the local need and support for the multi-level concept. As a result, a significant component of the full care campus complex is the independent independent construction of up to 100 bed nursing home for extended health care needs along with the integration integration of up to 100 mini apartments for semi-independent semi-independent seniors referred to as "enriched housing" units. This unique, multi- floored complex will be constructed just east of the present hospital and will be linked by an enclosed passageway passageway to the hospital to provide for a total integra tion of the various care requirements. requirements. Hospital Executive Director, R.E. Elston, says that virtually all support services required required by seniors will be available available on campus. The marked increase in the number of services to be provided and the enhancement enhancement of health and health related programs for residents residents of this area, will be a great advantage to the attraction attraction of further population population growth. A further asset to the community will be the creation of additional jobs and employment that will have a positive spin-off to the economic base of the Town. The initial hospital expansion expansion project to provide for additional beds and support support services is slated to begin construction in June of this year. The multi-care complex plan to develop the health care campus is planned to begin one year later. The two projects will hopefully come to simultaneous completion completion in the latter part of 1989. program was another plank in the NDP platform as outlined by the candidate. candidate. She called for a public auto insurance plan which would allow profits to be returned to the drivers of the province rather than going to private companies. She stated that a 21-year-old male Ontario driver may be paying eight times more premiums under a private insurance program than he would pay under a public plan. She also reminded the audience that New Democrats would require companies to justify major lay-offs and closings before a tribunal. And there would be fully portable pensions pensions as well as other benefits such as re-training programs for all Ontario Ontario workers. "I think the people in this are have illustrated that if we work together we can build a community that is exciting exciting and is fair," Mrs. Wilbur said. And she told her supporters that she is confident of victory in Durham East when the next election occurs. She also vowed to serve the riding in a full-time capacity.

Councillor Diane Hamre said 'people selling property should never make those claims, since rezoning ap plications can always be submitted. "We live in a democratic country and every single property owner has the right to apply for a rezoning," she said. At the same time, Mayor John Winters Winters maintained that Bowmanville does appear to have enough convenience convenience stores. "I think what we're doing is we're changing the name of this town to Jug City," he said. From Page One spread, but leave only a small pool which could be removed by the emergency response team. He reminded council that Ontario Hydro has been transporting radioactive radioactive goods since 1962. He said the company has 2.5 million km. of transportation transportation experience and only three accidents. "In no case was there a failure of any of the packages holding the material material or was there any release," Mr. Carter said. He said similar results could be expected expected with the transportation of low level tritiated waste. Mr. Carter went on to dispute allegations allegations that Hydro is only separating the tritium from the heavy v/ater in order to sell it for nuclear weapons. Tritium is a radioactive isotope formed through the creation of additional additional hydrogen molecules in the CANDU reactors. It is a key component component in nuclear weapons and DNA spokespeople charge it is in great de mand because of its short 12.5 year half-life. Mrs. Elston estimates tritium sells for $15 million/kg. Mr. Carter argued Hydro had always always planned to remove the tritium before there were discussions of sales. He said they wanted it separated separated from the heavy water because it's dangerous to the workers at Pickering Pickering and Bruce and because Hydro wants to reuse the heavy water. He said Darlington has the facilities facilities to store the tritium in a solid form for 150 years and that Hydro's board of directors has made no decision on possible sales. In the event they choose to sell, Mr. Carter said Hydro would only sell to countries belonging to the non-proliferation non-proliferation treaty. He said the primary use would be in technology designed to try and harness fusion energy from the sun. "Certainly, our tritium will never end up in military apparatus," he said. <g> HITACHI JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE HTA-A35 Stereo System • HTA-A35 combined AMP/Tunore HT-7Turntablo • DW220 double cassetlo deck • HSP-4045 "Tower" speaker • LAC-2600 cablnol M.S.L. $929,95 Sale $729.95 10-YEAR WARRANTY Store-Wide Sale at Bowmanville Audio-Vision 20 King St. W. 623-2312 "Bowmanvllle's Complete Electronics Store" Fire Occurrence Call Sheet January 21, 1987 19:03 hrs.
