Quality Health Care Accessibility for every Ontarian
Three Ontario ministries have joined with the Ministry of Health
to announce a series of initiatives aimed at preserving quality health
care and promoting healthy lifestyles.
Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced a new province -wide
program that will encourage women between the ages of 50 and 64
to attend cancer screening clinics every two years.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer -related deaths among
women in this age group. • N.
Administered by the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research
Foundation, the screening program is part of the government's
Throne Speech.eommitment to an action plan for specialty health
care that includes cardiovascular treatment, dialysis, emergency and
trauma services, AIDS victim support and care for mothers and the
newborn.
The Ministry of Health will provide $5 million in start-up and op-
erating funds this year to establish eight screening centres. By 1995,
the Ministry anticipates the establishment of 36 centres across Onta-
rio. It is expected that more than 300,000 women will use the pro-
gram once it is fully implemented.
"Experts tell us,' Elinor Caplan said, "that with good screening,
breast cancer deaths for women in the 50-64 age group can be re-
duced by up to 40 percent"
Premier's Council provides research funding to the
Ottawa Heart Institute
Desctibing new medical technology, as one of the tools to help us
achieve a healthier Ontario, Monte Kwinter, Minister 1jndustry,
Trade and Technology, has announced that the Premier's Council
Technology Fund will be`contributing $2.8 million over five years
for an important medical project under study at the Ottawa Heart In-
stitute.
The $22.3 million project focuses on the development of an elec-
tro -hydraulic ventricular assistive device (known as EVAN) for im-
plantation into people who suffer from heart disease. The device will
help establish normal blood pressure levels, and is considered the
first stage in the development of a totally artificial heart that does
not require the patient to be hooked up to medical equipment.
"The search for a method to augment or replace the pumping ac-
tion of the human heart has been going on for decades," Mr. Kwint-
er said. "But the process has been slowed down by problems related
, to infection and other side effects. The EVAD project brings togeth-
er the necessary talent to bring about this much needed medical in-
novation."
Facilities for fitness
Tourism and Recreation Minister Hugh O'Neil has announced ad-
ditional grants that his Ministry is providing to municipalities and
, community groups under the New Recreation Facilities and Capital
Conservation Program.
$7 million in lottery proceeds is being made available for a further
152 recreation facility projects, bringing the,total number of pro-
jects assisted this year to 424 at a total cost of almost $211 million.
Mr. O'Neil pointed out that one quarter of Ontario's health care
budget is spent treating preventable, lifestyle -related diseases. High-
quality recreational programs have been shown to reduce these costs
by half.
"Recreation," the Minister said, "is a key to wellness and an es-
sential part of a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle.
"These projects are, helping our communities. to build and main-
tain the recreational services that the people of Ontario depend
upon." •

Elimville 4-H
ELIMVILLE - On June 5 the
Mud Muckers of Elimville I visited
Huron Ridge Acres near Zurich. We
were given a tour of the nursery and
saw many beautiful plants, shrubs
and trees. We learned about the dif-
ferent wrappings around the roots
and David Steckle showed us how
to prune a globe shrub. He ex-
plained to us about the use' of ferti-
lizer and different kinds of mulches.
We learned about diseases and in-
• sects and how to prevent them from
destroying our plants. We were told
which plants ,would be, good to
grow in our hardiness zone.
Thank you to Huron Ridge Acres
for showing us how to have a better
green thumb and how to beautify
our gardens outside;

Stewart retires as chancellor
GUELPH - The University of
Guelph is saying goodbye this
week to retiring Chancellor Wil-
liam A. Stewart, without wbom the
university might not exist. A for-
mer Ontario minister of agriculture,
Stewart was instrumental in creat-
ing the university, which is now
celebrating Its 25th anniversary.
In 1965, Stewart's ministry spon-
sored the act of legislature that
created the university and transferred
the operation of the three founding
colleges-- the Ontario Agricultural
College, the Ontario Veterinary
College and Macdonald Institute --
from his ministry to the new uni-
versity. In 1976, he was awarded
an honorary degree for his support
of the university, and in July 1983,
he became Guelph's fourth chancel-
lor.
He will be succeeded in that posi-
tion by Edmund C Bovey, former
chair of the university's board of
governors.
Born in Middlesex County, Stew-
art was first elected to the legisla-
ture in Middlesex North in 1957.
He was named minister of agricul-
Zurich 4-H
ZURICH - On the evening of
June 6, the group met at the home
of Sylvia Neeb. During the meeting
we learned many new things. \Ve
looked at different soil types and the
importance of proper care of roots,
even thoukh they aren't seen.
We were taught the proper" meth-
od of watering and how and why we
must stake our trees. Lastly, we
looked at how to prepare plants for
winter.
The June 8 meeting was hosted
by Diane Wilds. We had an excel-
lent time, discussing how to keep
our landscape growing. We looked
at what fertilizer is,`how to check
its potency and how to use it. Sec-
ondly, we discussed several com-
mon insects and diseases which at-
tack our plants each year.
Finally, we had a look at how to
prune properly. After we played a
few games to test our knowledge of
the section. We then adjourned the
meeting and charged for the deli-
cious snack awaiting.
ture in 1961 and held that cabinet
position for 15 years.
During his tenure, Stewart was a
staunch supporter of agricultural ed-
ucation and research. He continued
to support the Ontario Agricultural
College associate diploma program
and helped to establish two new
schools of agricultural technology
at Centralia and New Liskeard. He
was also instrumental in forming
the Agricultural Research Institute
of Ontario.
He has been honored by a number
of agricultural organizations in On-
tario, by an OAC Centennial Medal
'and an honorary degree from the
University of Western Ontario.
