-_ TERRACE NEEDS to start lobbying right away for either
a replacement for Mills Memorial Hospital or for extensive _
renovations, says the city councillor who chairs its health
task force group.

Although money is being spent to renovate the. emergen-
cy room and to move the intensive care unit.from the second
floor down to besidé the emergency room, Lynn Christian-
§en said other parts of the facility are aging.

‘ Opened in 1959, the main structure has since gone through
several renovations and additions.

CITY OF TERRACE
FLUORIDATION REFERENDUM

On November 19, 2005, in conjunction with the General Local Election, the City of |
Terrace will be holding a Referendum to determine whether or not the electorate
wants the City to continue adding fluoride to the City’s drinking water.

The question on the ballot will be:

“Do you want the City of Terrace to continue adding fluoride to its water supply?”
Yes | . No

History | . | Oo ee ,

The City of Terrace has been fluoridating | its water system since 1965 and can only :

ment of the intensive care unit downstairs in any plans. - .

That’s because planners will have options ranging from
replacing everything to gutting the interior of the main build-
ing to tearing down portions and rebuilding.

“Potentially there’s a lot of things that can come under
consideration. There’s' a significant investment. involved,”
said Holoien.

Fortunately, she added, the authority has lots of land ad-
jacent to the current hospital that could be used.

The water supply has naturally occurring fluoride in the amount of less than. 0.1
parts per million (ppm). The City adds additional fluoride (hydro-fluosilicic acid) to.
raise the amount to 0.7 ppm. The approximate cost of fluoridating the water supply ,
is $23,000 per year... a

The positive and negative effects of fluoride have long been debated and there are
many studies and views that a person can research when forming an opinion. If”
