Bruce to use reject heat for greenhouse project BY BEV CLARK There was no discussion at county council on June 13 when -a motion was passed unanimously in favour of the use of reject heat from Bruce Nuclear Power Development for the Kincardine greenhouse project. The motion, made by Kincardine Reeve Floyd Weick and seconded by Kincardine Township Reeve Alvin Thompson, read, "That this council support in principle the use of reject heat from BNPD for agricultural purposes and agricultural .related industries." -- A presentation on the greenhouse project was made to Bruce County Council at its summer session in Sauble Beach Monday and Tuesday. Monday, Ian MacNaughton of . Kitchener, planning consultant . for the town of Kincardine, told council the Kincardine project was practical and feasible. "It has major implications for both Bruce County and Ontario." Peter Szego, project co-ordinator for the provincial ministry of energy, told council the project relies on the positive initiative from Bruce County. Mr. Szego said his job is to find an applicable method of financing and controlling the greenhouse project. "The government feels this project should be financed by the private sector: It wants. to protect the initiative of private individuals," he said. He said rising energy costs have created concern for the greenhouse industry in Leamington. "Acre heating costs have tripled . in 10 years," he said. If ,the Kincardine project becomes a reality, greenhouse operators could save $8000 per year to heat 1 an acre of greenhouse instead of paying $30,000 a year the operators are paying now in the Leamington area. Don Haycock of Conestoga Rovers, the engineering firm who did the feasibility study on the project, told council his firm has established that the concept of using waste heat from BNPD is a practical one. In Leamington, 99 percent of the produce grown in greenhouses are cucumbers and tomatoes,. The place to start here is also cucumbersand tomatoes, he said. Mr. Haycock also said the transportation for produce from Leamington to major commercial markets is about the, same distance as from the proposed greenhouse sites. "About 55 people for 20 acres of greenhouse would be employed," he said. The construction timetable would be about 12 to 18 months before heat would be available at the BNPD boundary. • ' "Only five to seven percent of the greenhouse operators in Leamington are full time growers now because of high energy costs. It appears inevitable that if Ontario does not do something we will be importing 100 per cent of our tomatoes because there will be no local growers left." Mr. Haycock also told council about the possibilities of fish farming in the area. "A provincial hatchery would only employ about 15 people but the economic benefits are vast for the Lake Huron Georgian Bay region," he said. Warm moderator water from BNPD would encourage rapid growth of fish. "We could have upgraded recreational fishing in the area as well as other industry in the commercial use of fish," said Mr. Haycock. "There would be a vast market of good quality fish in Ontario," ` he concluded. This was thf first time a presentation on the Kincardine greenhouse project has been made at the county level. aware of the individuality of each resident and will strive to care for and give comfort to each one by skilled and professional attention to physical, emotional and spir- itual needs, .in safe, clean and comfortable home -like surroundings. This statement of Philos- ophy embodies four cardinal principles of quality nursing home care. These principles are: awareness of the resid- ent as an individual; the extending of human love and comfort together with profes- sional health care; the atten- tion to the needs of a resident as a whole person, physical, mental and spiritual; the provision of care in safe comfortable and home -like surroundings. "This Statement of Philos- ophy", said Association Pre- sident Donald Dal Bianco,, "ig simply our expression of how we would like to see nursing home resident care offered in every nursing home in Ontario." "It is not some idealistic statement or some absolute goal which cannot be. im- proved upon," he added. "There are many nursing homes in this province which do strive to give the superior care which this statement embodies, and, it is my hope that all of our nursinghomes will adopt this Philosophy as their own and act upon it." The Ontario Nursing Home Association has been developing guidelines for nursing homes in Nursing, Dietary, Medication and, • Activation Services. These guidelines together with self- audit check lists are being circulated to each of the Association's member horn - es. 330 of the 367 licenced nursing homes in Ontario are members of the Ontario Nursing Horne Association. "As we ask each of our member homes toreview and use the service guidelines in their operations and, test their own performance, by use of the self -audit check list we believe that there will be a definite overall improve- ment and greater uniformity in the quality of nursing home care given in this province," said Mr. Dal . Bianco. -t °°•••••...ei• •• LYCEUM •• • • ONEM: Wednesday, June 21st WINGHAM 357-1630 • NOW PLAYING! • • to Tuesday, June 27th PLEASE NOTE SHOWTIME ONE COMPLETE SHOWING DAILY AT 8:00 P.M. ONLY!
