Stratford arcliitect is hired to design hospital's new wing By Henry Hess The firm of Myles, Myles and Garratt, architects, has been hired to design the new emergency and outpatient wing at the Winghatn and District Hospital, At a meeting last week, the hospital board agreed to hire this firm, which has previously worked for the hospital, rather than to ask for proposals from other archi- tects, Kyles, Kyles and Garratt, with offices in Stratford and Hamilton, designed and super- vised construction of the new office section added to the hospital two years ago, and has also planned and supervised a number of renovation projects, Architect's fees for the latest project were set at eight pet rent of the total cost for all new work and 10 per rent for all renovations, to be based on the lowest tender received, Robert pike, chairman of board's finance and audit committee, inquired how much the board already owes the architect for his preliminary work on the project and how much it will owe when plans are completed, should it deride it could not afford to go ahead with the building, executive director Norman Hayes repott- ed that fees paid to date amount to about $2,1,000, and this will have risen to SiS,000 at the stage of going to tender, If the board derides to go ahead and build the estimated $1.4 million project, total archtteet's fees will amount to some 5112,000. Campagnola speaks in Mitchell *tram page 2 will. The party president said she raised the Issue tti point out that the party has to reflect a changing society. She referred to medial guru Marshall McLuhaan's com- ments that society today is like the Elizabethan era because it is living with two cultures at one time. The Elizabethans were moving from visual to linear, and movement today is from linear to aiudio=visuaal. She encourages ridings to use this technology, paar- tirulnrly computer§ in the campaign process. Speaking about campaigns, Ms. Cam- paagnolai hinted at as possible election in 1904. While not definitely spelling out Prime Minister Pierre 1 rudeaau's retirement, she said there will be as "great vacuum" left when he retires. "He'll be recognized as the greatest Prime Minister Canada ever had," said Ms. Cumpatgnolaa. With comments such tis "A Liberal is a Liberal is a Liberal" nand "we cannot of - ford the luxury of not work- ing together" Ms. Cam- paignolaa said the party is iii the process of building towards speaking In one voice across the country. She noted the best gift the Liberal party has received is the "fortionaalited opposi- tion" which is currently undergoing a leadership election. The Liberal Party presi- dent took the opportunity before aid Sifter the dinner to speak to many of those in attendance. Hospital board approves budget... *from page 2 The board approved capital purchases amounting to 159,160, with major items including 515,000 for a new tray delivery system for the dietary department, $8,500 tot an electrocardiograph and 56,000 for a new car. The hospital budget also includes $208,336 for the r,peration of the ambulance service and 582,241 for the RNA training school, both of which are funded by separate grants, as well as by fees collected from students at the training school. A question was raked about the approx- imately 17,000 deficit incurred by the RNA school last year, however Hospital Admin- istrator Norman Hayes assured the board that the hours the students spend working in the hospital as part of their training more than offsets the deficit. Students pay tuition of about 5520 per year, which 15 equivalent to that charged by community colleges. Cees have been raised by five pet cent for 198)-84. Before unveiling the new budget, Pike presented the board with the preliminary year end financial statement for 1982-81, reporting he was "pleasantly shocked" by a surplus which appears to be well above even the 5200.000 which he was predicting earlier in the year. I -le said he preferred not to release actual figttteq until they have been confirmed by audit, hut congratulated Haves and I finance Director Clordun Baxter for the numbers being so favorable. Hayes expressed appreciation for the praise, but cautioned that the board cannot expect this kind of a financial performance every year. "phis has been a very different sort of year," he noted. part of thtl reason the surplus jumped k that traditionally the hospital k quite busy during I✓ehruary and March. This year usage was down, so the hospital Was able to Of costs considerably. "1 hope this is not going to become your yardstick for measuring the performance of the senior management of this hospital," he concluded. Adding to board's satisfaction with the hefty surplus was the knowledge that this year for the first time, the hospital will be permitted to retain it.s savings, as part of the BOND (business oriented new development) program introduced last year by the Health Ministry. "Can we really keep this sotplus7" Rev.. I<pn !tines, trustee from Brussels, inquired, noting that although some other local hospitals are disenchanted with the BLIND program it appears to he working for Wing - ham. Hayes assured members that the hospital can indeed keep the money and, while next year may not he ac profitable, "We will keep whatever we make then tot," At present, the board has only committed itself to going as liar as calling for tenders on the project, at which time it will make the decision whether or not it an afford to proceed with construction, On a related matter, the board heard that the Gordon R, Goldie Co, of Toronto has been hired to conduct a feasibility study fat a program to raise funds in the community toward the new wing, Board Chairman Mary Vale repotted that. consultant Pant Robeson had already spent a couple of days in the community doing interviews, and would be returning soon. She said she was impressed with his work, "He seems to be very thorough." The consultant's report on fund raising possibilities is expected by June or July, The board also teethed confirmation frott Huron County Council that a grant of up tr $W,000 has been approved for the new project and a letter from the office of Health Minister Larry Grossman said the minister would consider accepting the board's invitation to take part in the sod turning ceremony, In other business, the board reconsidered and decided to forget a plan for a wheel chair ramp to the hospital's front door, It was noted that few people to wheel chairs visit the hospital, and level tweets will ronfnue to be provided at the new emergency entrance, It also was suggested that the proposed ramp would be impractical In the whiter time and would disfigure the front of the building, ELECTRQHQME Colour Television: zi s Colt)?
