SERVICE - DAILY CAR RENTALS - LEASING Riddell says this area won't be chosen as waste site By Jh n Fitzgerald Although people in Huron and Bruce Counties are worried there holy be a industrial waste facility in either of the two counties, Huron4Mlddlesex Member of the Provincial Parliament Jack Riddell (Liberal) said this week there is little likelihood the facility will come here. A study conducted in 1900 by the Ontario Waste Management Corporation recommended a location in Ashfield Township, near Lochalahlas the best choice for such a facllity, but South Cayuga was chosen for further study because of its superior accessibility. Another site east of Port Elgin was also high on the list. But people in Huron and Bruce are worried the f„ dump site might come here after the Waste Manage- ment Corp rejected the South Cayuga site last week and are ready to take a lesson frorp the Haldimand- Norfolk people and organize to fight any liquid in- dustrial waste facility in the area. Murray Elston, Liberal MPP for Huron -Bruce, said in an interview on Monday he has heard from many of his constituents since that announcement last week, but Mr. Riddell says that now the government will have to reaezamine all the criteria for selecting sites and he's confident Huron or Bruce won't be on the new list. Corporation president Dr. Donald Chant said last week the search for a new site would begin quickly, with the criteria used to,evaluate sites in the previous study to be emamined. But neither he nor Environemnt Minister Keith Norton would speculate on the 17 other sites studied and rated last year. "As far as I'm concerned they (the ministry) don't even follow their own guidelines and follow the pro- per procedure for environmental review hearings, " Mr. Riddell said in reference to the South Cayuga site where the government announced the selection of the site without calling for input first. Subsequently, a large protest group was organized, leading up to the. government's change of mind last week. Cost for ICU increased . A revised estimated cost for the ICU project has been given as $553,520. -an increase of approximately $53,000 over the previous estimate. This estimate includes architect fees and has increased due to inflation and the addition of such extras as isolated cubicles and individual washroom facilities. ICU fund raising chairman, Bob Dempsey, says a statement will be issued to the media by the end of the year to tell the public exactly what the extra funds collected in the campaign will be used for. To buy plaque The hospital board has approved an expenditure of approximately $800 for a bronze plaque to be put in the new psychiatric unit and dedicated by Health Minister Dennis Timbrell when he of- ficially opens the unit February 5. Before the expenditure is made though, the board will contact the architect and the contractor to see if they are willing to donate such a plaque. Profit realized A total profit of ,739.60 was realized by the hospital at its auction sale of surplus furniture at • Suncoast Mall October 31vThefurniture accumulated in the move of the psychiatric unit from the Bluewater Centre to new quarters at AM&G, Investigate program The hospital board has been. informed that University Hospital in London will no longer be able to provide Bio -Medical Engineering Services wider the Shared Services Program. The board is therefore investigating joining the filo- Medical Engineering Shared Services Program in Toronto. For an expenditure of approximately $5,000 per year, this service offers a contract of preventative maintenance on all medical equipment two or three times a year with emergencies costing extra. Separate service contracts on each piece of equipment would cost ap- proximatley $20,000 to $25,060 per year. HOSPITAL BRIEFS Budget deficit Hospital administrator Elmer Taylor has informed the board that a total budget deficit of $100,000,000 is projected for hospitals across ° the province this year. He said that AM&G was ap- proximately $21,000 over budget as of October and that the finance committee would be looking attwo options: cutting expenditures or more cash flow from the Ministry of Health. To write MOH The chairman of the management" committee has been directed to write a letter to Huron County's Medical Officer of Health inviting him to a meeting to discuss application for a Chronic Home Care Program here. Ginn doesn't accept A letter has been sent to Health Minister Dennis Timbrell informing him that Gerry Ginn is ' unable to accept, reappointment as the provincial representative on the AM&G hospital hoard due tti what he feels is his lack of time to devote to the appointment. Smoking policy The Medical Advisory Committee has recommended that the hospital smoking policy be more actively enforced and that the doctors' lounge in the emergency department be non-smoking and that smoking be allowed in the emergency waiting room.

He maid cottage owners are concerned about "foes of their cottage land values" and residents throughout his riding fear environmental damage from such a facility. Mr. Elston is seeking meetings with Dr. Chant and Mr. Norton to obtain more information about the search for a new site. In the legislature on Monday, Mr. Norton rejected a suggestion by Brian Charlton (NDP -Hamilton Moun- tain) to hold a full-scale environmental assessment when the next site is located. The public hearings held by the Ontario Waste Management Corp before rejecting South Cayuga did the job, said Mr. Norton, and that procedure. can work again. He also rejected Mr. Charlton's sugges- tion that four or five possible sites be studied rather, than one, so that alternatives would be available if the first choke is again rejected.
