through today the examlner Saturday Feb 24 1979 County council reduced by 16 if planning proposal accepted By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner There could be 16 fewer members on Simcoe County Council after next years municipal elections if area municipalities council and the province endorse planning committeeproposal In report to council Thurs day Deputy Reeve Marjorie Dyer of Wasaga Beach plann ing committee chairman outlined proposals which would reduce the number of coun cillors from 54 to 38 and establish new basis for representation on county coun However the planning com is seeking feedback their county coun cillors before making represen tation to the province to enact the necessary legislation The county must make such representation before the fall if the change is to be in effect for elections scheduled for November 1980 the report said Representation on council from each municipality and the number of votes they would hold should then be based on combination of permanent population and equalized assessment rather than the current system based on the number of eligible voters REPRESENTATION Under the Municipal Act municipalities in Simcoe are represented on county council by reeve only or reeve and deputy reeve depending on the size of their eligible voter population said At Pelletier Simcoe County clerk Pelletier said representatives on council gained an extra vote as the size of their municipalities electorate in creased Using equalized assessment Would compensate the smaller municipalities which are at disadvantage he said There are several municipalities with small populations but an awful lot of assessment Pelletier said Equalized assessment would give them that extra vote On the other hand municipality with larger population but smaller assess ment would lose vote he said County council currently as 54 members casting 71 votes The planning committee pro posal for representation based on the combination of popula tion and equalized assessment would cut the number of coun cillors to 38 with 51 votes The report said in 1971 the county applied to the province for special legislation to cut the number of council members from 54 to 48 The legislation was enacted the following year Over the past six years the number of councillors rose again due to increases in the number of municipal electors in some municipalities and the lowering of the voting age from 21 to 18 the planning commit tee report said North townships want land for dump Simcoe County will lease 10 acres of reforestation land in Tiny Township to three of its northern municipalities for ex pansion of joint landfill site providing the province agrees Council approved Thursday recommendation by its agriculture and reforestation committee to lease the parcel of land on Con old survey Tiny Township to the Midland IcnetanguisheneTiny sanitary landfill committee However the recommenda tion is subject to two condi tions said Tecumseth Reeve Roy Gardhouse chairman of the agriculture and reforesta tion committee The countys responsibility with regard to possible conv tamiiiation and seepage into the ground water must first be approved by its solicitor and Ministry of Natural Resources approval is also needed as the area will likely be replanted The Good Samaritan Nursing Home In Alliston was officially reopened Friday after undergoing renovations during the past eight months Left to right are owners Theo and Evelyn Vereecken George McCague MPP Simcoe and Irene Evans Ry LORI OIIEN Of The Examiner ALLISION Irene Evans doesnt believe people can or should he organized and as administrator of the newly renovated Good Nursing Home in Alliston she puts this policy into practice lIer idea of just treatment of the elderly is to give them their independence The tendency is for children to say Mother took care of me so now must take care of her Mrs Evans said realize its easier to do something for so meone than to teach him to do it for himself There are limited number of strict rules at the Good Samaritan home for the elderly with section for men tally retardedadiilts Residents dont have to get up and cut breakfast at specific time and there is no bedtime either Mrs Evans explained Friday was the official open ing of the nursing home which underwent extensive renova tion since ltlllt when Mrs Evans took over as oil Samaritan ministralor Performing the ribbon cutting ceremony was George McCague MII for Simcoe McCague said he was pleased to see such facilities in the Alliston area and noted that although there may be the re quired 35 beds per 1000 people in Ontario the population is ag ing and there are more citizens over 65 years of age than ever before ASSISIN He said nursing home owners wishing to expand their facilities will eventually be given the assistance from the provincial government to do so Commenting on the govern nicnts proposal to eliminate free over the counter drugs for senior citizens MacCague waas doubtful it Would be im plemented right away My guess is that it will not happen during the coming year Upon arrival at the Good Samaritan in lune Mrs Evans registered nurse and qualified nursing home tld ininistriitor said she was con fronted by group of depressed individuals administrator The home has facilities for 55 residents Including section for mentally retard ed adults Mrs Evans believes elderly residents should be given treedom to make decisions and be independent Examiner Photo Alliston home stresses independence The residents had no life because there was nothing for them to do and no stimulation she said She started sprucing up the physical appearance of the home by placing flowers and plants all around and brighten ing up residents rooms She makes sure there is something to do every evening be it bingo reading session or movie and arranges as many group excursionsilike the one last year during the Alliston potato festival as possible Residents can discuss pro blems and initiate changes at the home through their recently formed residents council Most importantly Mrs Evans tries to ensure that the activities of daily living are taught She considers it vital that wherever possible residents take care of their own personal habits such as washing dressing and feeding themselves CIIRONICCARE There are chronic care pa tients who are unable to care for themselves in the home Mrs Evans says they often do not belong in nursing homes Nursing homes are too often looked upon as dumping grounds for chronic care pa tieiits she said The Good Samaritan has capacity for 34 residents with only one vacancy at the mo ment There are 35 full and partytinie nurses and nursing aids Itrances Morrow member of the Sunshine Club group of Alliston women who visit the home every other week says if senior citizen must be placed in nursing home the Good Samaritan is ideal EVER EANS Every means is make them happy here said Laurie Christensen ministry of health representative at the opening said the ministry up proves of the kind of care given at tlicGood Samaritan Irene Evans is striving to make the home just that and not let it turn intoa hospital There is so iiiticli we can do for the residents she said They dont come in here to die they come here to live used to she Lower demand forces Hydro cutbacks Everyone in Ontario in eluding Simcoe County residents can count on higher hydro rates in the future says Ted Johnson Ontario llydio public relations officer in Hill ric Robert laylor chairman of Ontario Hydro said last week that demand for electricity is Ichr than forecast but the oversupply of energy would lead to higher llS In the past Hydro had plann ed on demand for electricity in creasing by seven per cent year said Taylor The new forecast accepted by llydros board of directors last week now calls for de mand to grow by 47 per cent annually until Ittttti and 42 per cent during the 1990s As result the reviewing Ilydros building program It board is iit ire has already decided to delay con struction of generating sta tion near lOll Ilope The board is expected to release an announcement on building cutbacks next month said Johnson It could affect construction of transformer station planned for north liar rie of arson Road It is all result of us trying to predict what was going to be happening lltillt future said Johnson But it is very dif fictilt to predict the fluctuating economy and inflation going up Johnson said it is easy to critizc Ontario llydro for its earlierpredictions The process is just so coin plicatcd he said But does anyone know whats going to happen in the next 15 years after the site expired Reeve Gardhouse said These are the two most im portant factors Reeve Gar dhouse said If they prove negative the committee will change its recommendation he added The proposed sie is located next to an old landfill site which still has some life left in it said Tiny Township Reeve Morris Darby The landfill committee simp ly wants to expand beyond the old boundaries Reeve Darby said The three municipalities are currently sharing privately operated landfill site on Con just east of Perkinsfield but are unhappy with the way it is run he said The owner is accepting gar bage from other municipalities which is not fair to our set up said Reeve Darby The land is also due for rezon ing as the owner wishes to ex pand the site but the landfill committee expects some resistance from area neighbors who have been complaining about the site said Reeve Dar Broadcaster to
