but program gets the By RICHARD DUNSTAN Examiner Staff Reporter Ontario Ombudsman Arthur Maloney can do lot for you but he cant do everything One of the biggest problems facing the provinces yearold ombudsman program is the number of people who come to Mr Maloney or his staff with problems he cant touch The ombudsmans office was set up by the legislation year ago to investigate complaints by Ontario residents against agencies of the provincial government Complaints about municipal authorities the federal government and private individuals and cor porations all have to go somewhere else Mr Maloney and his staffmore than 100 by nowget two complaints they cant deal with for every one they can Gary Speranzini director of interview services for the ombudsmans office said Friday during visit to Barrie He said about 65 per cent of the 6800 complaints received during the programs first year fall outside the ombudsmans jurisdiction though the per centage has been falling lately TAKES UP TIME That takes up quite bit of our time he said Of complaints the 0m budsman can handle he said about 60 per cent are decided in favor of the government 40 per cent in favor of the com plainant Mr Speranzini was in Barrie Friday at the head of an eight member team set up to take the ombudsmans services to people who cannot easily go to oronto where most of the of fices business is conducted Mr Speranzini one of Mr Maloneys original staff mem bers said the ombudsman program has lived up to his ex pectations and has real teeth despite the opinions of those who think of he operation as mere window dressing for the provincial government When the ombudsman decides in favor of com plainant he gets the problem solved in very high per centage of cases Mr Speran zini said He did not have precise statistics Mr Speranmni credits this success rate to the reputation Mr Maloney built in three decades as trial lawyer and champion of the underdog before becoming ombudsman HASTO LISTEN He can go to the deputy minister and the deputy minister has to sit up and GARY SPERANZINI led team listen he said In fact ministers do too Persistence is key too The office expects an answer to its recommendations within 10 days or two weeks and if it doesnt get one we get back on the phOne pretty quickly Even cases where the om Barrie Contributes 58 beefs Some 58 Barrie area residents brou com laints to the provincial ombudsmans staf Friday during an 11hour interview ses sion at city hall Gary Speranzini director of interview services said this morning That is about the same number who at tended similar sessions in Midland and Orillia earlier in the week Mr Speranzini said staff members heard typical mix of complaints during the day with no single subject predominating to an unusual degree Most complaints to the ombudsman con cern human services or supplementary in come such as pensions or workmens com pensation Mr Speranzini said in an inter view Friday He said today nearly half the complainants met by the staff in Barrie Midland and Orillia had come to the right place Some time ago Royal Vic toria Hospital ambulance at tendent Errol Graham ap proacth Robert Howden to arrange

it lies outside his jurisdiction Mr Speranzini said off TRANSPORT INCUBATOR FOR RVH the purchase of portable in cubator to be used in am bulances Mr Howden was impressed encugh by the need for the life saving machine that he donated the By SHEILA McGOVERN Examiner Staff Re For the first few porter years after Russ and Donna moved to Barrie Donna found her time long and her existence lonely Both Russ and Donna are deaf While Russ travelled out of town with his 0b with Ontario Hydro Donna was alone at home with eir two young children Being deaf her communication was restricted That all changed in July of this year After two years wait the cou le finally received an old teletype machine that is ed to their regular telephone Using the teletype keyboar person can send and receive typewritten messages over the telephone But the real breakthrough came few weeks later when the couple received the littleknown Magsat The Magsat looks like portable typewriter only slighl smaller in size It has teletype keyboard and smal screen just above the keyboard where typrewritten messages flash across electronically By placing the telephone receiver in the top of the machine the user can ty out message that canbe received by someone with either teletype or Magsat While the teletvpe or IIY system was breakthrough in deaf communication it is big cumbersome machine that can only be used in one lace When Russ was out town home because he had no wa Phone calls had to be relay in great loss of privacy he still could not call Donna at of transmitting message through neighbors resulting The Magsat can be used on electrical current or as bat teryrun portable Russ can use any telephone simply place it in the top of the machine and the two can typetalk back and forth series of flashing lights indicate when telephone is ringing when the person answers and when line is busy NEW FREEDOM For Donna and Russ the machines provide whole new avenue of communication and freedom Donna can sit down in the afternoon call friend who has teletylpe or Magsat and talk for hours oesnt have to worry about the doorbell ringing one of the children crying The couple have their She or ole house wired into the flashing light system The sound of the doorbell ringing or baby crying triggers receiver that will start the lights flashing ferent flash for different reasons But the telety drawbacks municate with eaf vr ghts and Magsat systems are not without person can only use them to com ole who also have them In the case an emergency be was able to convince welfare authorities to resume payments to man who had been cut entire funds for it himself The incubator is used for the transportation of premature babies At the official presen tation of the machine to the hospital it was admired by done budsman supports the govern ment often ave happy en ding If the government has ac ted fairly the ombudsmans of fice can often explain that fact to the complainants satisfac tion In fact better explanations could be key to getting fewer complaints Mr Speranzini says and the office often recommends this to govern ment agencies lot of this is just com munications he says If youre going to decide this or that with respect to individuals its only proper that you give reasons why youve made that decision Even complaints outside Mr Maloneys jurisdiction get more than the brushoff Staff members refer such com plainants to the appropriate agency for help One of the m05t important services the ombudsman provides Mr Speranzini says is help for people who are poorly equipped to deal with the red tape of government Staff members he says provide sympathetic ear and can cut through many of the obstacles the man in the street might otherwise meet BACK NEXT YEAR It will probably be year before the ombudsmans staff returns to Barrie but mean while Barrie area residents can still make use of Mr Maloneys services Mr Speranzini recommends the following procedure make sure your complaint involves provincial govern ment agency but not decision of the provincial cabinet drop in or write the om budsmans office 65 Queen St Toronto Ont MSH ZMS You can also call at 3627331 area code 416 include as much useful sup porting material as you can Investigation time can range from few hours to six months with three weeks typical figure Mr Speranzini says Edna Engel Gord Waterfall

call the proper person in Barrie She hasnt faced an emergency yet but has had to go through the society in Toronto to place long distance call to her brother Russ believes the Telecare service in Barrie should have Magsat providing deaf people with some place they could call in Barrie 24 hours day Some Telecare centres in major cities have machine In some larger cities in the United States there is number people can call for news and weather reports NOT MANY HERE Another problem with the Magsat is that there are relatively few in Canada An Magsat to talk to their dau nest Drury gus and Eileen MacGillivray recently purchased ghter Sandy who is away at school for the deaf in Milton They decided to buy the machine after they saw Russ and Donnas in operation but were surprised they had never heard of Magsat before The machines are manufactured in Hartford Connecticut and distributed by woman in Holland Landing They sell for slightly move than $500 but he MacGillivrays believe you cant put price on privacy The American company is currently considering moving into Canada and Mr MacGillivray is trying to convince it Barrie would be an ideal place to locate He would also like to see information about the machine available at provincial convention for the deaf and hard of hearing scheduled for Barrie this month MAGSAI IN ACTION
