Jack's Jottings Jack Riddell MPP Huron From Queen's Park 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." • HYTi: NEWS!

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.

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. ,Z4:1441 i ,1� ' • rl� 1• �,t' ;r,/',*v �1 I it - �! r, l•r�,A • ' �•: L`v - i - ` / Vit,' '. ��� ..
