This piece of new equipment was not found in the old department. Marg Trotman believes the community's money was well spent on the updated physiotherapy department at Memorial Hospital. "They needed the extra room," said Trotman, an outpatient outpatient at the department. Last week was Physiotherapy Physiotherapy Week at the hospital. hospital. It is a week designed to highlight the duties of the department and to recognize its role in a patient's recovery. recovery. The job of the physiotherapist physiotherapist at Memorial has been made less difficult thanks to the expansion and upgrading upgrading the department has seen with the opening of the east wing. Carol Richards, one of the therapists, said the separate waiting room area is better for staff and patients because because those waiting can't see others being treated. "The cramped space we had before made it difficult to move," she said, noting that therapists can work faster now because they have room. "The gym area also allows allows for better exercise routines routines than we could have before, before, which is important for treatment," she said. Madeleine Reed, another therapist, noted the department department is larger and affords more privacy for patients. "Patients have their own individual cubicles with an intercom to contact the front desk," she said, noting the old department didn't have that feature. The extra space and upgraded upgraded equipment means the therapists can treat patients patients more effectively, she 'noted. . *.*. And the area is closer to the main lobby. "Often people with crutches come straight from the parking lot to here," Reed said. Thanks for Help WithTax Forms Dear Mr. James: I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. Peter Hobb C.A., Will Bakker C.A., and Craig Smith C.A. for the gift of their time and expertise to staff our income tax clinic for seniors on March 14th. Peter Hobb deserves special recognition as he has been working with us for the past several years, to provide this much needed service annually. For those seniors in the community who still have not gotten their income tax done, help is still available. They should call the Community Care office at 623-2261 and arrangements can be made to have a trained volunteer come to their home. Again, many thanks to Peter, Will and Craig, as well as our regular Community Care volunteers for making these services available. Yours sincerely, Roxy Barnes Administrator Spring is a good time to Re-Tire at JAMIESON TIRE P155/80R13 $45 9 ° P165/80R13 $4Q30 P175/80R13 $51 85 P185/80R13 $5440 P185/75R14 *56 95 P195/75R14 *59 50 P205/75R14 $52 05 P215/75R14 $5460 P205/75R15 *65 45 P215/75R15 in CO CO CD P225/75R15 $73 95 P235/75R15 $7735 DAYTONA THOROBRED All Season - While Wall 5 YR.

As a patient, Trotman was very happy about the expanded department/' "They needed the extra room," she concluded. Mr. Prime Minister, In a letter to me dated November 21, 1990, I was assured by the former Min- Wildlife Fund Asks for More Help in 1991 Dear Editor: Last summer, many member papers of the Ontario Ontario Community Newspaper Association provided valuable valuable help for World Wildlife Fund's efforts to recruit signatures signatures to the Canadian Wilderness Chapter. That support was deeply appreciated appreciated by all of us at WWF. I am writing to ask your help once again. As you are no doubt aware, April 22nd is Earth Day. The attached press release release provides information on how Canadians can use the Earth Day weekend (April 20-22) to undertake, "wilderness crusades," thereby raising funds and awareness for the protection of Canadian wilderness, through the Endangered Spaces campaign. I very much hope that you will tie able to run this release or an article based on it in an up- - coming issue of your paper. A wilderness crusade is a personal challenge -- jogging, jogging, bicycling, baking, knitting knitting -- almost any hobby or activity can qualify. Once the challenge is defined, wilderness crusaders can secure secure financial pledges for their effort from family, friends, and colleagues. All funds raised will support the work of the Endangered Spaces campaign. Launched in 1989, the campaign is designed designed to ensure that a network network of protected wilderness areas is established across Canada by the year 2000 -- before it's too late. WWF has a member of other initiatives planned for the Earth Day weekend -- including the CN TOWER/ Earth Day climb on Sunday, ister of State for housing, Alan Red way, that "a supply of adequate and affordable housing is a matter of deep concern to me and to the government." Three months later, the Finance Minister, Michael Wilson, announced in his budget that "the 15 percent reduction in planned funds for new social housing, announced announced in last year's budget budget as part of the Expenditure Expenditure Control Plan, will be continued through 1995-96." One estimate of this spending cut is that social housing will be chopped by $411 million over the next five years. If you think of this in terms of the number of people who will not be adequately adequately housed because of this action, the impact is staggering. It is disappointing disappointing that your government pays only lip service to a fundamental internationally recognized (by Canada itself) itself) human right: the right to adequate housing. The Finance Minister's budget measure demonstrates demonstrates clearly to me and my colleagues in the Durham Regional Access to Permanent Permanent Housing Committee, a definite lack of "deep concern" concern" on the part of your government about adequate and affordable housing. The non-profit and cooperative cooperative housing provided by social housing programs is vital to the supply of housing housing that is adequate and affordable affordable to a large segment of the Canadian population. We suggest that a replacement replacement not be named for Mr. Redway as Minister of State for Housing since your government does not have a commitment to social housing housing or housing issues in gen eral. You should use the money which would not be spent on the salaries of the Minister and his entourage to put back some of the funds cut from social housing. housing. We suggest as well that if you are looking for places .to cut in "social housing" (housing (housing paid for by the taxpayers of Canada) you need look no further than 24 Sussex Drive and Stornaway.

Sincerely, Pegi Dover Vice-President, 1 ■ Communications Dear Editor: A CASE FOR GOVERNMENTAL GOVERNMENTAL AUTOMOTIVE INSURANCE REVIEW: The Insurance industry talks of 8 to 10% increases. My wife and I had our premium premium increase nearly 400% after Allstate Insurance cancelled cancelled our standard policy. Reason Given: Too Many Claims. Catch 22: Insurers keep records for six years and insist insist that they be notified of every incident or your policy may be cancelled. Our experience experience suggest if you do notify notify the insurer, the policy will be cancelled. Is Allstate different from other insurers? I don't know, but probably hot. We were honest with our insurers and notified them of everything everything from a "Biggie", where we were at fault, windshield breakage, even a parking lot incident where not a cent was paid out. Every one was recorded. Our "Biggie" Total was under $3,000. The six year grand total paid out was about $4,500, while, for two vehicles, we paid well over $7,000 in premiums. Honesty, and the resultant resultant cancellation, earned us an entrance to the "High Risk" category where this one year's premium is more than the total amount paid out in six years. We have no tickets at all but other insurers insurers now look at the computerized computerized record and refuse us a standard policy. Even with no more claims that will continue continue for severe} years.. i' È; sî SÜSI Hi The N.D.P. government has promised changes. I want to give them incentive to seriously review industry practices. I know many others have received similar treatment and I believe it to be unfair. This industry is very powerful; powerful; one man can not change it. I am appealing to your readers for help. Does any reader have an Auto Insurance Insurance horror story to tell? Or want to voice an objection of their own? Or Just want to add their name' to the list to demand changes? I will take anything you wish to the government? I need your help.
