It is not only an honour and a privilege for me and my family but also for the To\~ship of Southwold. On behalf of County Council I would like to extend 'a warm welcome to the Ex-Wardens and Guests with us today. May I take this opportunity to thank Past Warden Longhurst for the dedication he has given to the Office of Warden. I am proud to have served under Lester both on the Township of Southwald and the County Council. The next twelvemonths shall no doubt bring about new and challenging experiences in council work and in our private lives. The year ahead will present all of us with the opportunity to put forth our ideas and our experience to continue to provide the same excellence of leadership shown by previous councils. This year nine new Members are joining us on County Council and I welcome them and wish them well in their future with us. It is with regret that we say good-bye to old friends who will not be serving .on Council this term. May I wish them well and hope that their support will always be available to the County. We as local politicians are concerned about the amount of taxes we must collect and would rather see a dif- ferent level of government raise them. However, taxpayers do not see it that way. They are concerned with the total amount of taxes they must pay. It is therefore up to us to see that spending is controlled. If tax increases are necessary, we must take the responsibility for raising them. I request the co-operation of the administration and the Members of Council to control spending as ,much as possible while still maintaining our social progress.

Thebul1doz~ngof woodlots has been stopped completely over the last two years, and the only court cases have been for cutting undersized timber. The loggers objected to the Tree By-Law at first, but now they realize it is to their advantage not toovercut and keep the woodlots in production. I have good working relations with them, so there is no problem of undersized timber being cut. However, I can see problems in the. future with woodlots being used for other projects beside being, cleared for farming purposes. It is for this reason, I would ,like to suggest to County Council, that they look carefully at the minor exceptions from the Tree By~Law and consider making it man4atory, for anyone clearing land, to first replant an area of equal size in another 10cation. Perhaps this would also stop some applications. Many places I go, outside the County and within, people compliment the County for protecting their woodlots and trees in general, and this is very encouraging to me" The Courts are very much in favour of the Tree By~Law and commend the County for 'protecting the woodlots. This makes your day in Court much easier. There has been a big change over the last ten years, at first it was almost impossible to get a conviction" _' I would a150 like to comment on the tree planting program the County has along its roadsides, and I compliment them on, such a worthwhile undertaking. However, when travelling along these areas, I find that 90 to 95% of the trees you plant die out, and they are not planted in again. On inspecting them, I find it is due mostly to the mice girdling them. It is impo'ssible to plant small .hardwood trees in the grass without a plastiC shield to protect them, for they are vulnerable to the mice for several years. The grass should also be sprayed around them, and this would give the trees a good chance of survival" I would like to thank Members of County Council, who have stood by me during my tenure as Tree CommissLoner. It is only through your concern of the trees, that the by-law has been effective and enabled me to enforce it~ I also appreciate all the help I have been given from the Ministry of ,Natural Resources, especially Pud Johnson, for he spent a 10t of time with me when I first started, to get me trained to do the work properly; and ,to Merv Todd, who has backed me up in Court many ti~es. Thank you also, to George Leverton and his Office Staff, for being so helpful to me and for his advice in solving many of my problems. ALL of which is respectfully submitted. c ..~ /5 ' .,__/..i:C1'2/k77') ,'/. rIA~. J{ckson . Baker, Elgin County Tree Commissioner. 309 COUNTY OF ELGIN By-Law No. 81-49 "BEING. A .BY~LAW TO. AMEND .

I am sure, in my tenure as Weed Inspector, I have never seen crops in the County' 100k as g~od as they have thi~ year. Tobacco,growers have had an excellent year and they harvested a bumper crop, which cured outexcepcional1y: well~ The cash crop farmers have also had an excellent year, especially the coin crop. Bean growers have a good crop, but are having trouble. in" harvesting. them, :due tOn wet weather in some areas. There are also, s9me fields' of'b~ans that are damaged by grass, such as barnyard grass; yellow and green foxtail, and fall panican.Perhaps they were: not; sprayed, .or they used the wrong chemical. Most farmers have a good spray prpgram and their crops are free of grass and weeds. They also mow the road allowance along their property. As they spend a large sum of "money on weed control.fol:" chemicals, it is for this reason I object to road a110wances that grow up to; weeds and s~atter weed seeds over the farmers fields. Most townships do a reasonably good job of weed control on their road al10wances, especially Dunwich Township. I went to their Road Superintendent (Bob Patterson) to find out why they had such good results, so I could pass it on to other road crews. With 400 gallons of water, they put two gallons of Silvaprop V 112 chemical. also four gallons of diesel fuel and one pint of Sanfax. This sprays' four miles of road allowance on one side, driving between four and five miles per hour, with 30 pounds pressure on the pump. This also ,allows them to spray along soybean fields, as there is no drift from the spray, due to the low pressure and using lots of water (and in the month of June). Yarmouth Township could sure use this information in their weed control. It is very' hard for a Weed Inspector to make the general public cut their weeds on their lots, when the township itself does such a poor jpb of weed control. I have more calIs to have 10ts cut and noxious weeds destroyed in Yarmouth Township, than the rest of the townships combined. Even the County itself is very lax on weed control in some areas; also the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, as twice this summer I had to send them registered notices to destroy the noxious weeds on their road allowances. For sure we are always going to have some weeds, but if each department would put some effort in destroying the noxious weeds, on the property they are supposed to maintain, then perhaps the general public would do a better job of weed control. The M.T.C. has started a spray program on. some road allowances. They sprayed #3 Highway from Ta1botville west and also #4. Then they cut two swaths with the mower, and they did a reasonably good job, except in spots where they had to do some more mowing. They are also spraying portions of #401 and I am sure another year they will be spraying more road allowances, because of the cost of mowing. As this will be my final report as your Weed Inspector, I would like to say I am very thankful for the support and the friendship that has been given to me, from many members of Elgin County Council, over the last ten years. I feel privileged to have worked for you, and in doing so I have met - 2 - countless numbers of nice people, I never otherwise would have had a chance to meet. In closing my report I would like to thank County and Township officials, Road crews, other Weed ;In,sp~ctqrs, Township clerks and their staff ,and a very. special thanks to the office staff at the County Municipal Building .for the help and co-operation they have given me. ALL of which is respectfully submitted. tp?'./.,~ M ~.L/-'''--' <:Jackson..

K --7?( ~VD/. 334 DlREcToR/AolrrNISTRATOR:REPORT TO'THE WARnF.Mand MErrnFRS OF ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL: Attached are the financial:reports c~vering Elgin,Manor".:Terrace Lodge and the Byrne Rest Home, which fs asatellii;eHome: pf Elgin County Homes fo~ Senior Citizens. These reports ~over the 10 months ending October 31, 1981. You will see from these reports that as of ~tobe# 31, 1981 w~ had 141 residents 'in Elgin ~~nor ~ith 2 residents in the-G~neralHospital which gives us-a total Of 143residerits. At Terrace Lodge we had 91 residents plus 6 residents who were in the Gerieral Hospital making a total of 97 residents. This year we have a number of persons on our waiting lists to be admitted in to the Homes, but again, as in other years, senior citizens are placing their name for occupancy if and when their health deteriorates so we are at the present time able to take senior citizens into the Home with a very short waiting period. For members of COunty council who are not familiar with our Satellite Home, this is a nursing horne that was converted into a rest home in Fingal which came under our Satellite Home system some years ago. ~s of the 31st of october we had thr~c s~nicr ~i~~zsus r~5i~:ng'at Fingal. Although we have not used the Satellite Home too much this year due to the decrease in beds in Elgin Manor and Terrace LOdge~ we do find that this offers an excellent alternative from large institutional living to smaller family-like dwelling. If residents living in the Satellite Home require nursing care or immediate nursing attention, they are transferred directly to Elgin Hanor. The policy adopted by Elgin County Homes for Senior Citizens Committee of ~fanage~ent some years ago has certainly been an asset to senior citizens living in the community and we have been Offering Home Support Services to qive senior citizens a further alternative to institutional living and we are very happy,to offer the following: 335 -2- MEALS 01~ WHEELS~ A hot nutritious meal is delivered at noon, ~mnday to Friday. The cost per meal ls" nominal and. payment is ca:1,lected ,_e~ch week. WHEELS TO l~: The senior citizen is transpo~ted to the home for senior citizens for 'a' noon meaI,Ucinday to' Friday. The seniors' enjoy th.esocial contact'ga~ried,thrciughcon9re9ate'dininq~ DAY CARE: Elderly citiZens attend the home activities oria daily'haifs, enjoying-a hot meal and the craft and recreation program. Day care re~idents may require tran.sportation wh~chcanbe airanged~ VACATION CARE: Seniors :residing with their family may be admitted to the home for a short term. Asho~t-terrnadmissidn eri~le~-the fam~lyto'take a vacation knowing their~amily member is being ciaredfor. RECUPERATroNCARE: Senior c~tizens who- have been ,hospitalized may require more professional nursing care which_the home for senior c1 tizeIls can provide. A short term admission should be arranged prior to hospitalization HOMEMAKER SERVICES: Seniors who require occasional home help such as cleaning, minor home repairs, odd jObS, should contact the home for- senior citizens who will make the necessary arrangements. TELEPHONE:CALL FOR_ ASSISTANCE: Telephone stickers are available for senio~_s ~or easy reference 24 hours a day. The stickers have both -bOrne phone numpers printed and the senior knows he can call for help at any time., TELEPHONEA8SURANCE: Seniors residing alone in: the community are con- tacted daily by the home ensuring the senior is in good health. This programme provides a friendly visit to a senior who might not otherwise be cont:acted~; COUNSELLING and REFERRAL~ Seniors may contact the home with regard ,to programmes, or services for the elderly. The home endeavours to supply the senior with accurate details and/or referral to the proper agency. Assistance is offered to seniors in completing pension applications, tax grants or income taxes. MENU P~~ING: Nutrition for the elderly is a concern for the home. Seniors who would like assistance in maintaining a proper diet should contact the home and_pur dietician will :provide, necessary information and guidance. 336 -3- WINTER RESIDENCE: Seniors who are. apprehensive about living alone' for the winter may 'be accommodated as a short term admission. The cost is determined on an ability to pay basis. ASSISTED BATHING~ Seniors who are unable to bathe themselves are-en- couraged to contact the -hoine to arrange a time for a whirlpool bath"Their own doctor is required to sign a consent form for the whirlPlJol. A nominal fee is charged for each bath. EXERCISE: Fitness should be a concern for seniors who are able- to. take advantage of water exercise. At Terrace Lodge there is aswiInming pool staffed by a qualified' instructor. Participants ,are welcome toatt~nd the swim classes and to obtain the weekly times, by contacting the office. Regular exercise classes are held each mo~ning at 10:30 and we ~ncourage new members to join to keep fitness in their d~ily routine~ Adjuvant classes are held ~~nday to FridaY,~t Elgin Manor., The adjuvants are trained to work with seniors who may require a~sistance t6walk and provide therapy for varied disabilities. We are now able to offer almost immediate admission to Elgln':Martor and Terrace Lodge and our Satellite Home-because of the Home support Services that we are offering and'from the comments from senior 'citizens in the community who are taking part in these Home Support Services they are finding it very rewarding, and are very happy with the,~ro~~aromes that are offered. Members of the Committee of Management of the Homes fo~ Senior Citizensdepar~ment did authorize me this year t~ spea~ at~e O~~~rio Association of Homes for the Aged with regard to HO~"support'~ervice~ as offered in Elgin County and I have received a numb~r of speaking engagements at other municip~lities to discuss Hom~ support Services, 'as this seems to be the alternative to institutional living. The Home Support ?ervices that we have offered over the last,years have been self-supporting at no cost to the County or to the Ministry of Community and Social Services but I have been advised by the Ministry of Community and Social Services that if there is a cost incurred, this will 337 -4- be subsidized by the Hinistry on a 50/50% basis. 1'1e are_ again o.ff~ring a number of programmes to the Yl1CA at Terrace Lodge on Saturdays and- Moriday evenings. The YJ.!CA offers a -tiny tot, swim programme for mother and child. The swimming pool is also used by the retarded children from the Springfie~d afea and has been operating successfully for approximately 12-14 students, each week. Once.a9a~n the Administration ~s working close with the executive of the Drop-I~,Centre and again I am very happy to say that this pro- gramme is a~elf~supporting programme and the senior citizens who_belong to the Dro~In Ce~tre have made npcl~im from; the County or from the Ministry of Community and Social Services for a-subsi~y. Theyhayea membership of 275 active members. t believe that the year 1981 has been ,a very rewarding year for the senior citizens who reside in Elgin County to' be able to have the number;6fservices offe~ed and I am pleased to advise you that I was recent~y advised by the Ministry of Community and Social Services that we are one of the more advanced communities for services to senior cit~zens. I,.trust that. we shall be ~ble to continue with the Home Support Services and where we possibly can increase them to tailor-made services for 'the senior citizens of Elgin County.
