Hugh and I observed our 45th wed- ding anniversary, quietly at home Saturday. We had celebrated earlier in the holiday season, when our grandchildren and family were home for Christmas from B.C. also with members of the Coleman and Morenz families. Last Sunday we were dinner guests with Les and Marjorie Adams in Exeter. We were married at the United Church manse, in Hensall, by the late Rev. R.A. Brooks. It was a bright, sunny, cold day, as we took pictures outdoors. Our attendants were my sister Mary (Coleman) Finlayson, of Seaforth, and Hugh's brother, Roy Morenz of Lucan. Following our wed- ding we had a dinner for about 30 relatives, at my parents farm home, south west of Hensall. Ladies in the neighbourhood served the meal. Several area relatives attended the ordination service, Sunday February 2, for Mrs. Joyce Pickering, at Bethel Presbyterian church. A reception and lunch refreshments were served afterwards at Ilderton Community Centre. Don't forget the euchre party to be held here tonight, February 5, weather permitting. Mary's Musings Life can be frustrating when you're just one year old. You talk and talk, and nobody understands or even listens to you. And every time you go to do something, somebody says "No!" Even though our daughter Chelsey can't tell us what she's thinking, I often try to guess what's going on in her little head. For example, here's a typical afternoon. Mom's in the spare room pounding away at that typewriter again, so I'll just crawl into the bathroom here and look around. Look! If I pull on this knob, that drawer will come open. Look at all the towels in here -- a pink one, a white one and down here are a couple o*blue ones. ['11 just pull all these out on the floor and unfold them. Towels make nice soft toys. I wonder what's in the next drawer. Oh, here's Moms cloth bag with the zipper in it. I'm so glad that zippers open so I can get inside. It's full of shiny flat cases and neat looking tubes. Look inside this tube -- it's that pink stuff Mom puts on her lips. I'll just smear a little on my fingers. Now if i can just get that top drawer open. Ugh! Bang! Ouch! i pulled it open but it hit me on the forehead and i fell right down on my rear. That hurts! i better have a little cry so Mom will come and see what I've done. WAAA WAAA WAAAA! Now she's brought me into the spare room where she can keep an eye on me while she types. Ha! She can't see me yank all these kleenexes out of the box if 1 do it behind her hack. Did you know that if you pull on a kleenex, another will follow right By Mary Alderson behind it' And then another and another and another. This is great fun. Oops, I shouldn't have giggled, now she's turned around to see what I've done. I guess it's not a good idea to pull all 500 kleenexes out of the box. She doesn't seem pleased. While she's picking those up, I'll just crawl out to the living room. Oh, there's Pepper sleeping. I'll sneak up and give him a big hug. I wonder why he growls when I grab his fur and pull? Same old toys here. I'll just scatter these story books all around the room. Then I'll throw these blocks over my shoulder. The doll house needs spill- ing, and this set of stacking cups should be thrown around. Say, if I stand up on tip toes i can pull all these newspapers off the stool and crumple them up. Now my hands are all black, but I'll just wipe them on my pink pants. Listen, Mom's still typing. If I get up on tip toes again, I can reach that telephone cord. Hello, Hello -- nobody ever calls me, the phone just hums. Hey! I'm standing here all by myself -- i took a step and then another and another. I can walk! Bang! i fell down and that hurt; WAAA WAAAA! Good, here comes Mom. No, i don't want a drink. No, I don't want you to cuddle me and hold me in the rocking chair. I'll kick. I'll wiggle! Say, that's good apple juice. And it does feel nice to be held. But I'm not going to have a nap -- I'm not going to sleep. i'll just shut my eyes and drink this juice, and let you rock me. It feels s0000 g000000d.

T -A photo Times -Advocate, February 5, 1986 Page 7A 9acL 3 690//infii By Jack Riddell MPP The Liberal government has been cotnmitted to ending the practice of extra billing by physicians in this pro- vince and in this regard, the Honourable Murray J. Elston, Minister of Health indroduced the Health Care Accessibility Act on December 19, 1985. The government is concerned that extra bitting creates a two-tiered system of medicine in this province -- one for the poor and one for those who can afford the extra fees. We believe that all Ontarians are entitled to the best health care available, irrespec- tive of their ability to pay. It causes hardship for those in fixed incomes, the elderly and the less affluent in our society. Under the direction of my col- league, the Honourable Murray Elston, public information forums on extra billing were held by nine district health councils across the province, in October and November 1985. They were open to the general public and a wide range of consumer, health and interest groups participated. At each forum, the public was provided with information on the various ap- proaches to implementing a ban. The participants had general discussions on the possible impact of these op- tions, and were asked to provide the Minister with their ideas and com- ments. Their suggestions were valuable in drafting legislation. The Health Care Accessibility Act is a bill to regulate the amounts that may be charged for insured health care services provided by physicians, dentists and optometrists. There is to be a complete ban on extra billing for all insured physician services, all in- sured dental services performed in hospital and for all insured optometry services. Those who opt out and bill their pa- tients directly, because they prefer this professional arrangement, will not be permitted to charge more than the OHIP rates. Their patients will, in turn, be reimbursed at OHIP rates. The bill also empowers the Minister of Health to enter into agreements with associations representing physi- cians, dentists and optometrists to provide methods of negotiating and determining the amounts that will be payable for services under OHIP. Reasonable compensation for these health professionals must be assured and the legislation provides that the Ministry will enter into discussion with the associations, leading to a mutually acceptable fee negotiation process. The bill will protect physician's pro- fessional freedom in choosing whether to opt in or opt out of the On- tario Health Insurance Plan. Task force on farming The Ontaro Institute of Agrologists has commissioned a Task Force on, 'Future Directions for Ontario's Agricultural Industry'. The Institute, as an independent agricultural organization, is unique- ly well-positioned to provide leader- ship in developing creative and in- novative directions for the entire agri- food industry. Organizations, business firms and individuals are in- vited to prepare briefs to the Task Force and participate in public hear- ings across Ontario. The ask Force Secretary, Don McArthdr, P.Ag., should be notified of the intention to prepare a brief by the end of January with briefs received by the end of February. Public Hearings will take place after mid-March with a final report later this year. The chairman of the Task Force is Freeman McEwen, Dean of the On- tario Agricultural College. The other Task Force members are Gerry Chamberlain , Manager of Agricultural Services for the Bank of Nova Scotia; Tom Cowan, farmer, real estate agent and former agri- business executive; Basil Haefling, a chartered accountant with Ward Mallette; Dianne Harkin, the founder of Women for Survival of Agriculture; Dick Heard; a regional manager of OMAF; Vicky Osborne, farming and a commodities trader with the United Co-operatives of Ontario; and Harry Zwerver, Executive Director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. The institute of Agrologists en- courages those interested in the future well-being of the agri-food in- dustry to participate in this important project. HURON F OF A Free trade will be discussed by a four -member panel at this Thursday's meeting of the Iluron Federation of Agriculture. The meeting is to be held at the CRSS cafeteria in Clinton at 8:30 p.m. The free trade topic will be discuss- ed by Ken McKinnon of the Huron Milk committee, Adrian Vos of the Huron Park Producers and .Jim Johnstone of the Egg Board. A representative of (he Huron Cat- tlemen will also be added to the panel. Extra billing However, the right of each and every individual to accessible, affordable health care will not be compromised. Highlights of proposed Health Care Accessibility Act ( Bill No. 94 In- troduced Dec. 19, 1985) : - physicians, dentists and op- tometrists who do not bill OHIP directly may not charge more than the OH1P rate for rendering an in- sured service to an insured person (practitioners that do bill OHIP are opted -in under the Health Insurance Act and accept the OHIP rate as full payment) - a practitioner who contravenes the act is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of not more than $10,000. - a judge may also order a person found guilty to pay back to an insured person any money received in excess of the OHIP rate, or alternatively, an insured person may sue the practi- tioner for that excess. - Minister of Health may enter an agreement with associations representing physicians, dentists and optometrists to provide methods of negotiating and determining the amounts payable under OHIP. Purpose of Legislation - to ensure the principle of ac- cessibility to needed health care is preserved and protected without any regard to an individual's financial cir- cumstances or ability to pay. - to end extra -billing as supported by majority of Ontarians and as a long-standing commitment by pre- sent Ontario government to end this practice. - provincial compliance with Federal Health Care Act 1984 (July 1984) (only Alberta has not indicated an intention to end extra -billing) - recovery of federal holdback of health care funding to Ontario at a rate of $4,444,000 per month (based on federal estimates of monthly extra - billing in Ontario) Note: To date the Ontario Medical Association has been unwilling to meet with the minister of ministry of- ficials on the matter of extra -billing as they view this issue as a matter of principle and not negotiable. I am most pleased to announce on behalf of Mr. Elston a grant of up to $400,000 or 50 percent of the cost to cover the construction of an obstetrical wing at Clinton Public Hospital and carry out renovations. The final dollar figure of the grant won't be known until the construction tenders are let. Sweets or my Sweet ?
