T. 236-7722, Zurich Friends important Continued from page 6 interventions that help mobilize or augment support for individuals under stress. These keep people from depending on professionals and in- stitutions, giving them a greater sense of control over their lives, he says. An example of this would be pairing teenage mothers with older women who act as models, mentors, helpers and confidants. Gottlieb recognzies that there are also negative aspects to interactions among network members. Sometimes support fails to materlialize, miscarries or even com- pounds problems. Cancer patients, for example, somethimes have dif- ficulty obtaining support from close family members and friends who are threatened by the disease. And peo- ple who are severely disturbed, suicidal or depressed can scare off network members. Gottlieb's project has been funded by the Social Sciences and Hu►anities Research Council, with assistance from the University's Gerontology Research Centre. Times-AdvocOte, August 20, 1986 jaci e 9ollins Right to farm report Don't touch another thing until you read this ad. The most important thing to remember about electricity is to always keep a little common sense between you and your power supply. Common sense means cautioning children to avoid areas marked "Danger".. . and warning them never to build a tree house close to power Tines, where they could,be seriously injured. There are many other ways to practise electri- -giv cal safety. And they all o`II- I have ,one very important thing in common. Common sense. Think about it, please. Exeter Public Commission 379 Main Street South Exeter, Ontario 235-1350 utilitjes N.A. Greene, Chairman H.L. Davis, Manager , B.F. Shaw, Commissioner H. DeVrios, Commissioner HON. JACK RIDDELL Minister of Agriculture The Right to Farm Advisory Com- mittee, which I set up last•Febtuary as Minister of Agriculture and Food, released their report last Wednesday August 13. I am pleased with the com- mittee's report and will give serious consideration to their recommenda- tion for legislation in conjunction with any revisions to the Foodland Preser- vation Policy Statement, which I also released last February. The Right to farm committee calls for new legislation to protect farmers carrying on normal farming practices from nuisance actions by neighboring property owners. They reached these conclusions after extensive public consultations, including eight public hearings, 230 submissions, an inter- provincial seminar and a newspaper survey through the OMAF news. The six member committee which included five farmers from across Ontario, also reviewed 38 provincial acts which affect the right to farm issue. The next step is for ministry staff to discuss the report with other government ministries, agricultural and municipal organizations. Copies of the report will be available at local offices of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. OHRP grants On behalf of Alvin Curling, the Minister of Housing, I am pleased to announce Ontario Home Renewal grants to the townships of Tuckersmith and Usborne. The program, administered by the municipalities, assists homeowners to upgrade their homes with loans of up to $7,500. Emphasis is placed on repairing faulty structural and sanitary conditions, as well as insula- tion, heating and electrical systems. Tuckersmith will receive a total of $65,415 for this year, while Usborne is eligible for up to *59,609. A portion of the loan may be forgiven, and interest rates range from zero to eight percent, depending on income. Further details are available from your local clerk's office. Capital for cancer care As a result of passing legislation to end extra billing, Ontario will receive $106 million in federal transfer payments that have been withheld since July 1984. This money will now be used in the redevelopment fund for Ontario hospitals, and to address the task of rebuilding and rejuvenating the hospital system to meet health care needs in Ontario into the 21st century. Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Canada's largest, cancer treatment, research and teaching facility, will receive *133 million from the Ontario Liberal Government toward a complete rebuilding. An ad- ditional $32 million for three regional cancer clinics and a $35 million reserve for future cancer projects has also been announced. A new regional cancer clinic will be built in London at the Westminster site of the new Victoria Hospital. The Health Ministry will provide an addi- tional $6.8 million to build the facili- ty, bringing the government's total commitment to the London clinic to *20 million. Clinics in Hamilton and Sudbury will also be receiving ministry funding and will provide ser- vices to a large area of Ontario. Last May the Ontario Liberal Government pledged $850 million in capital _funding to the province's hospitals for projects to be started over the next five years. This is a dramatic departure from the previous practice, where hospital capital funding used to be announced on a yearly basis. Now, with long term planning, the Ontario Govern- ment can begin to face the problems which have been neglected in the past. Sport fishing licence introduced Ontario will introduce a resident licence for sport fishing in 1987, my colleague Natural Resources Minister Vince Kerrio has announced. Mr. Kerrio said the licence will be re- quired by most Ontario residents ag- ed 18 to 64. Senior citizens and the disabled will be exempt,as will Status Indians on their reserves or treaty areas. Money raised through the new licence will be directed at improving the quality of sport fishing in the province. Sport fishing is a popular pastime in Ontario. Some 28 percent of On- tarians fish at least once a year and sport fishing generates $700 million a year for Ontario's economy. The new annual licence will cost *10 while a short-term licence to fish for four con- secutive days will cost $5. It is ex - Peaches Red Haven available now Ducharme Orchards 236-47511 Pogo 7 pec - d to gWerate L" revenue of about *9 million to 10 million a year. "The additional funding will be used to improve the quality of sport fishing in Ontairo," Mr. Kerrio said. It will go toward programs to protect, rehabilitate and enhance Ontario's fisheries, both in Northern and Southern Ontario. "In public meetings held across the province, and through angler surveys, we have received strong sup- port for this licence," said Mr. Ker- rio. Among the many outdoor recrea- tion groups to endorse the licence are the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters Association and the Canadian Wildlife Federation. ••• • • • 40 • • • •• • • • • • • 40 • • • • • •• • • •• ••••••••• • 40•• •• • • •• • •• • 41• •• • • 41 • • •• 40 • 4140•••••••• ALL THIS WEEK SIMPLICITY PATTERNS.
