ARM yobs "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, April 4, 2000-13 Request sent to committee By John B. McClelland Port Perry Star The Community Memorial Hospital Foundation is asking for a financial contribution from the township again this year. Foundations reps Gail Kerry and Cindy Lister made the request last week. They are look- ing for council to dupli- cate the $5,000 the municipality contributed in 1999. Mrs. Kerry said the foundation has plans to spend some $377,000 for new equipment over two years. The provincial government makes no contribution to equip- ment purchases. 'She told council that if the township agrees to the request for $5,000, the money would be ear- marked for a new "trau- ma stretcher" for the emergency department. One reason why the equipment has such a hefty price tag is a spe- cial design to allow a Hospital seeks 55,000 grant from township patient to be x-rayed while on the stretcher. Mrs. Kerry told coun- cillors that the Lakeridge Hospital in Port Perry enjoys a very high approval rating from patients. The amount of surgery done at the hos- pital continues to rise, and visits to the emer- gency department are up 11 per cent this year over 1999, she said. With council wrestling with a possible 4.9 per cent tax hike this spring, the request was referred to budget discussions. However, the delega- tion was very well received, with several councillors commenting that the local hospital is among the finest of its size anywhere in Ontario. "As one who has spent a lot of time (in the hospital) as a patient, | really hope we can find that $5,000," said Ward 2 rep Ken Carruthers. a i Lever rerIVYIVYYYYYY ¢ My Country Bungalow ¢ v $v FOLK ART CLASSES ¢ OPEN HOUSE & REGISTRATION Sat., April 8, 10:00am - 3:00pm Sun., April 9, 10:00am - 1:00pm €¢¢¢¢eeeeee Beginners & Experienced Painters LESSONS & SUPPLIES AVAILABLE Ww Call Leslie at (905) 985-0546 10521 Old Simcoe Rd., RR2 Port Perry Ww €¢¢€¢ee VYVVVVVVVIVIVIVIIVIVIIVIIIVIIIIY 54 295 VINYL SIDING T-3 white per sq.

The collaborative cam- paign, entitled "Breathing Space, Community Partners for Smoke Free Homes," was created by the Regions of Durham, Halton, Hamilton, Peel, York and Toronto health departments. The campaign's goal is to increase awareness about the seriousness of second-hand smoke as a health issue and to encourage people to take action health.
