"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 27, 1991 - 17 If you're planning a winter vacation in Florida, buy health insurance The Ontario government is changing the way it pays for out- of-country hospital services. These changes will affect anyone planning to leave the country for Uxbridge Chamber Choir 9th season The Uxbridge Chamber Choir, beginning its ninth season, will be holding auditions for interested singers on Wednesday, August 28 and Thursday, August 29. Conductor of the choir, Thomas Baker, would like to expand the choir and welcomes new choristers in all sections soprano, alto, tenor and bass. An appointment to audition can be made by calling Diane Ralph at 852-9569, Donna van Veghel at 985-7040 or Anne Baker at 473-5640. In the upcoming season the choir promises an exciting series at they present their tribute to Mozart's 200th anniversary sing- ing "Missa Brevis in C Major," as well as songs for the Christmas season by Distler, Rutter, Willcocks, and Monteverdi in their Christmas concert on December 14. Enjoy the best in sacred and secular choral music on March 7, 1992, as the Uxbridge Chamber Choir present Vivaldi's '"Magnificat", Faure's "Re- quiem", and songs by Elgar, Persechetti, De Pearsall plus a new composition written for the choir by Thomas Baker. On May 30, 1992, the series ends with William Byrd's 'Four Part Mass" contrasted with the Con- golese Mass "Missa Luba'. All three concerts add up to an in- teresting and enjoyable ninth season of choral music in Uxbridge. The Uxbridge Chamber Choir offers a forum for serious singers in the area to exercise their talent and love of music, and to bring music to Uxbridge and the area, thus providing an experience that would normally only be available in larger cities. People no longer have to travel to Toronto to hear this glorious music, they travel to Uxbridge. And according to the list of loyal audience supporters, they do come - regularly from Toronto, Markham, and even Ottawa. The profile of the Uxbridge Chamber Choir has expanded out- side of Uxbridge and the area, to Toronto, where they sing annual- ly to an appreciative crowd at the Toronto Art Gallery; to England, where they have been invited to sing at the 900th Anniversary of the Chester Cathedral; and to France, where they have been in- vited by Pere A. Batselaere to sing at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Whether it is the concert series here in Uxbridge, or their endeavours out of town, the suc- cess of the Uxbridge Chamber Choir is dependent on the dedica- tion of people who form the choir and the people who support and have supported the choir for the past nine years. The choir publically acknowledges the sup- port of the businesses of the town of Uxbridge, Port Perry and area, the private benefactors, patrons and friends of the choir, the On- tario Arts Council and of course, our loyal audience. any period of time---whether it's on vacation, work assignment or attending school. Beginning Oct. 1, the Health Ministry will pay $400 per day for acute medical care, such as surgery, high technology treat- ment and frequent monitoring of a patient's condition and $200 per day for rehabilitative and other less medically intense care, such as treatment for substance abuse, psychiatric illness and eating disorders. These figures reflect hospital rates in Ontario and are much lower than the daily rates being charged by hospitals in the United States and elsewhere. What all of this means is, anyone who plans to be out of the country after Oct. 1 should buy additional health coverage through a private in- surer to cover any medical emergency that may arise. The above noted rates will also apply to Ontario residents who travel out of the country strictly for medical treatment. With prior appreval from the Ministry of « Health, the full cost of out-of- country hospital treatment will be paid by the ministry if it is not available in Ontario, also, if the life of the patient is threatened or irreversible damage to his or her health occurs. Ontario's annual payments to American health care institutions have more than doubled in the last three years to more than $200 million. Ontario taxpayers can't affort to provide an open-ended subsidy to the profit-driven U.S. medical system if we want to. preserve medicare in Ontario at the present level. It is estimated that the new rates will reduce out- of-country hospital costs by 20 - to - 30 percent in 1992. As the popular credit card advertisment states, "Don't leave home without it' - and don't leave home without health insurance either!
