(See story and more photos in this issue of the Port Perry Star) New wing opens with dedication to Dr. M. Dymond The new Matthew B. Dymond wing at the Community Memorial Hospital is officially open. More than 200 people, including politicians and hospital officials, basked in the sunshine of a perfect mid-June afternoon last Friday as the $700,000 out-patient and emergency services extension was dedicated to Dr. Matthew Dymond of Port Perry, a man described as the archi- tect of Ontario's health insurance system. The 10,000 square foot addition to the hospital will provide new emer- gency facilities, physio- therapy, laboratory, day surgery, staff lounges, library, and needed space for such things as storage and medical records. The opening and ded- ication last Friday took place three days short of a year after the official sod-turning ceremonies in June, 1983. The ceremonies last week included the cutt- ing of a ribbon and unveiling of a plaque which dedicated the new wing to Dr. Dymond. The affair was MC'd by Rodd Foster, a member of the Hospital Board of Directors, and he introduced several speakers including Board chairperson Joy Hull, Durham Region chairman Gary Herr- ema, Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor, Durham Scugog trustee is concerned about funds for separate H.S. Scugog Board of Ed- ucation trustee Stuart McEntyre says he was caught completely by surprise by the announcement last week that the provincial government will pro- vide financing for Roman Catholic high schools in Ontario. Like other public schoo¥ trustees in Dur- ham and Ontario, Rev. McEntyre told the Star he is concerned about where the money will come from and what implications there will be on what he called an already under-funded public system of educa- tion in Ontario. While stressing in an interview with the Star that his reaction was not antagonistic towards the separate school system, Rev. McEntyre said the move will cost "massive amounts of money", and if the government continues Two men badly hurt in crash near Orono Two Scugog men are in critical condition after being found early Thursday morning, semi-conscious in a group of trees on the Eighth Concession west of Leskard, north of Orono. They had been thrown out of their vehicle when the car they were in left the road, flew through the air and landed in a ditch on the south side of the Eighth Concession. Durham Regional Police inspector Morley Nicholson, said it is unclear how long they had been lying in the bush before they were found by a passing woman just before 8 a.m. "It could have been all night or they could just have crashed early this morning," said Nicholson. He said the car flipped over in mid-air before coming to a stop upside down. The roof of the car had been ripped off. A branch had been torn off a tree about 25 feet above the ground and Nicholson said it could have been taken off by the car or bodies flying through the air. One of the victims was (Turn to page 3) to withdraw funds from the public system, it could mean a lot more of a burden on local rate- payers. In its announcement last week, the provincial government said full funding for grade 11-13 will be phased in over three years starting in 1985 and the estimated cost that first year will be $40 million. Under the present system, funding is avail- able for grades 9 and 10 in separate high schools with students wishing to continue their education through grade 13 at Catholic schools paying tuition that ranges from $650 to about $1000 per year. Ruth Lafarga, chair- man of the Durham Board of Education re- acted with concern when the announcement was made last week. "If the pie is sliced again, there will be less money for the public school system. I hope we are not going to see inadequately funded systems," she is quoted as saying. Rev. McEntyre has similar concerns. "There is a great danger of fragmenting and weakening the total educational system', he said. However, he went on to say that if this is the policy the government of Ontario wants to pursue, it will be nec- essary for education boards to co-operate fully 'to spend the tax dollars wisely in a rational sense'. Rev. McEntyre said that while the issue of full government funding for separate high schools has been around for years, the decision was made without con- sultation with public (Turn to page 2) MPP Ross Stevenson, hospital building committee chairman Howard Hall, and dis- trict Health Council chairman Tom Cowan. They all had words of praise for the many individuals and groups who supported the con- struction of the new wing and those people who worked on the building committee. Scugog Township don- ated $165,000 towards construction costs and Mayor Taylor said that when the request was made for these funds, "There was no hesit- ation"' on the part of local councillors. "A growing commun- ity demands these kinds of improved services," he said. Mr. Hall paid special "tribute to the work done during planning and construction by Hospital administrator David Brown, saying he "went beyond the normal call of duty on this project'. He also had words of praise for the service clubs and the citizens of Scugog who were "very generous in their don- .
