RS ia Sl ge Tan vy There may be snow on the ground In this photo, but Rod Sauder won't be seeing any snow where he's going. The Scugog Island racer left Monday for sunny Florida where he'll test his car and his driving skills at New Smyrna and Volusia tracks near Daytona. Sauder enjoyed a successful summer racing season at tracks near Ottawa and Barrie, and he's hoping to cash in on some of the bigger purses up for grabs In Florida against top notch competition In the super late-model class. Last year, he was doing very well for the first few days when he had to drop out of the competition due to a blown motor. This year, he's got a back-up engine, drive shaft and transmission, just in case. His car Is an '88 Firebird with a Camaro front end. He spent the last couple of months re-building the car from top to bottom. He'll be In Florida all of February. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, February 6, 1990 -- 37 Silla Joel Aldred, D.F.C. § to appear before Standing Committee Joel Aldred D.F.C., of Scugog Island is appearing before the Standing Committee on Health and Welfare, Social Affairs, Seniors and the Status of Women, February 6. As Chairman of the Information and Communications Committee of the National Advisory Council on Aging, Aldred will address the Parliamentary all party group on Canada's Health Care system and its funding. The 33-page NACA position paper was presented to the Federal Government on December 15, 1989, and it is to this paper that Aldred will speak and answer questions. Directed mainly towards the health needs of Seniors, but all en- compassing in its recommenda- tions re Health Care funding, its theme is "Health is a Resource for Living.' The brief addresses the fact that health is determin- ed by a variety of factors in- cluding human biology, environ- ment, lifestyle and health ser- vices. Each one impacts on the other. Part of the Aldred presenta- tions will highlight the need for a major change in emphasis to occur: (A) From acute care to long term care. (B) From a curative to a preven- titive or health promotion orientation. (C) From an institutional base to a community base and (D) From a traditional medical model to a multi-disciplinary health model. We expect to have a full copy of the presentation at the Star, shortly. Aldred will be supported by the Director of NACA, Susan Fletcher and Judith Stryckman, Chief of Policy Development and Research. } The National Advisory Council on Aging was formed in May of 1980, and is composed of 18 members from all provinces. Members are appointed for two or three years and may be re- appointed for one further term. The Aldred three-year term ends in August of this year. His last ap- pearance before the committee was one year ago in opposition to proposed charges in surviving spousal benefits under C.P.P. (Canada Pension Plan). So far, the NACA positions has stood.
