Carroll, 'darden 19 \iARDBi~ ' S ADDRESS Members of Elgin County Council and Guests: You have just made me a very happy man. ~ consider it a great honour and privilege to be elected Warden of Elgin County for 1978. On behalf of the Township of Aldborough and myself, I thank you, the County Council l.:embers, for your support, and the confidence you have placed in me. I also want to thank the many people, throughout the county, who have given me encouragement and moral support. I express special appreciation, to the loyal supporters, who stayed with me, through the past month. I hope I will not disappoint you, as I will do my utmost to fill the Office of Warden, for the betterment of Elgin County. On behalf.of County Cou~cil, I extend a warm welco~e, to past Wardens, Council Members, and friends, who have come here to-day. Your presence here shows your interest, and con- cern for affairs of the county. I want to pay tribute, to the many good vJardens, ".'e have had over the years, including Reeve Dave Cook, who has given us excellent leadership, during 1977. I hope in some way. I am able to measure up to the standard of leadership, which you have had in the past. I will try find co-operate, with all County Council Kembers, to vlOrk in t}le best interest of Elgin County as a ",hole, adInitt.i.:q there may b.:; S01ne difference of opinion, from time to time. I trust that all Council lilembers ",ill "rork to- gether, on the various committees, and in County Council Sessions, so that ive will have another good year of moving for- ward in Elgin County. No doubt, there will be a great deal of discussion, and contraversy, over our Local Government Study and recom~en- dations. It is a big :tssue, and deserves a lot of thought, and consideration. Hopefully, we ",ill at least, be able to find some recommenoati<..ns, in the report, that we can use. Probftbly we will be faced with other problems tlnough- cut the year and 'we will need to keep a sharp eye on finances, in this time of inflation, on one hand, and government restraint on the other. I feel, our grant structure needs revip-wing, and each request given careful consideration. Terrace Lodge was completed in 1977, and has been operating about seven months, and is certainly a great addition to our county faciliti~s for senior citizens. A long contempJ.ated, rebuilding and relocation of County Road 52, north of st. Thomas, has been nearly completed and will greatly imp!0v~ the East-West flow of traffic in that area. Elgin County is very fortunate, in having devoted departlliE:nt hends, and other staff, ",ho often Hork beyond the normal call of duty, for our citizens. I ",i sh to make honourabJ e mention of Harley Johnson who served faithfull~ and well, as County Clerk-Treasurer for years. He retired at the end of )977 and we wish he and Alice many years of good health and enjoyment. I congratulate George Leverton al'1d l?ose Daniel on their new positions of Clerk-Treasurer and Deputy Clerk-Treas- urer. "le are indeed fortunate to have these people on staff, who understand the work, to fill the vacancies. 20 Once again, I than!: 1'0'1 for {,Jiving me the rlt'cJsure, of being \:arr.en, and I tn:st, thc'it by \-;ol-l:ing to(.lethf:r, \-Ie can !:lake this a wo:rtb..,hile yeitr, in Ulin C!H".t County of Elgin. .

TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL: YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS: I. A base coat of asphalt paving has been completed on Road 16 West pf Fingal to Burwell's Corners. Most shouldering work has been completed for the season. Additional gravel will be placed yet this fall on Road 37 (the North & South Dorchester Townline). 2. A meeting has been held with the St. Thomas Suburban Roads Commission and it has beeD agreed between the County Road Committee and the Suburban Roads Commission that for the time being, the County should look after all construction rather than somp constnlction under tlw Suburban Roads Commission and some under th(' County. The Suburban Roads Commission would maintain as many miles (approximately 45 to 50 miles total) as their budget would allow and would revert any mileage due for construction to the County. There will be no change in the method of funding the Connnission by thl? Ministry of Transportation and CO!TnUUlliC:ILlm,,;, the County or tlH' City or St:. 'I'holll:l';. The chief benefit of the change will be that County Council will be able to designate the location of all reconstruction of any road or bridge in the entire system on a priority basis. WE RECOMMEND: 1. That a By-Law be passed that will 1n effect reduce the load limit on the Phillmore Bridge over the Big Otter Creek on Road 43 in Bayham Township to 5 ton. This bridge (approximately 1 mile south of Richmond) is a 70 year old steel truss bridge which presently carries a load limit of 15 ton. It has been found to be in urgent need of repairs to the deck and the load limit has been reduced to 5 ton on an emergency basis. 228 229 COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD CmlNITTEE HOI.lES FO], SEIHor~ CI'.l'Izn~3 COl:;.;r'l'TEE ]<EFOI,T FIRST REPORT October Session, 1978 .

The steel floor stringers and the bri.dge deck have been replaced on the Phillmore Bridge over the Big Otter Creek on Road 43.

All construction work, other than storm drain work in Richmond on Roads 38 & 43, has been completed for the Season, and maintenancE work is being undertaken as the weather permi.ts.

At the present time we are operating at Elgin Manor at full capacity with a waiting list of 58 people and at Terrace Lodge we are operating with 71 residents and a waiting list of 70 people. The reason we still have a waiting list is simply because senior citizens are becoming more aware of the problems of the Homes for the Aged when their health deteriorates and therefore place their name in case they require assistance immediately. We are still operating our Satellite Home, which is oper- ating with 8 senior citizens under our supervision and the policies set down by the Committee of Management and the Administration. Thj Home does have a capacity of 15 residents. To assist our senior citizens to continue living in their own homes we are offering many Outreach Programs such as Day Care, Vacation Care, Rehabilitation Care, Short Stay and also a unique program which we call S~nior Citizens Call for Assistance. This enables our senior citizens to have a telephone sticker under the receiver of their telephonG with the telephone numbers of Elgin Manor and Terrace Lodge, and we have been receiving ceveral calls from senior citizens who are in need of help during the .night hours We have an information and referral service which provide the senior citizens of our County with information regarding Govern ment Agencies, Income Tax and assist with government forms. A new . I 2 ,:// program that we have started at Terrace Ludge in liaison with the Y.M.C.A. is the Children's Nursery which has 22 young children coming into our Drop-In-Centre under the supervision of a member of the Y.M.C.A., with our own residents assisting. A Tots and ~tners Swim Program, which again is supervised by the Y.N.C.A. and each Wednesday afternoon we have 16 retarded children come into the Home to participate in the swim program. We also allow are facilities for Prenatal Classes, under the supervision of the Elgin-St. Thomas Health Unit. These programs that are offered allow our senior cit- izens to be part of the community around them and also is making Terrace Lodge a part of the community. All of which is respectfully submitted, F. J. Boyes, Director, Elgin Manor and Terrace Lod@ Homes for the Aged, County of Elgin.
