'/ .//' ~ 265 COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COOMITTEE FIRST REPORT SEPTEMBER SESSION 1983 TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN COUNCIL YOUR ROAD CCt!MITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS : 1. A portion of Lots 26 and 27, Concession IV, Yarmouth Township (approximately 93 acres) bas been purchased from Gerald Clarke and Gerald Clarke Limited at $175,000 for gravel pit purposes. A port~on of the property is designated in the TownshiFs offieal plan as pit and quarry land. Approximately 10 acres of this property has been zoned for gravel pit operations and has been operated as such periodically. 2. The heavy storm of August 11th caused the destruction of the Silver Creek CUlvert on County Road #42 (approximately l~ miles east of Highway #73) in Malahide Township. The estimated cost of replacement is in the order of $220,000. The project is proceeding on an emergency baiis and it is hoped to have it completed by mid~November. The project is complicated by the presence of the waterline between Port Stanley and Port Burwell. .An inquiry has been made to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications as to the availability of a aupplementary by_law for all or a portion of the project's cost. 3. Walmsley Bros. Limited of London were the low bidder on the hot mix asphalt paving on County Road #3 between New Glasgow and Rodney and for Asphalt patching on County Roed #2 between Rodney and West Lorne and Oounty Road #3 north of Rodney. This contract has been completed. 4. Walmsley Bros.

Mr. Floyd Humphries of Southwald Township has been engaged as General Superintendent for the County Road Department to start work on September 19th. His salary will be the starting rate of Category 11 Continued. . . COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE FIRST RF.PORT _ SEPT~BER SESSION 1983 PAGE 2. 5. Cont.inued... (General Superintendent Category) - ($28,681.00). The present General Superintendent, Arthur Gordon will go on holidays in early October and will likely retire when his holidays have been completed. Mr. Arnold Milligan. Class V, Foreman for the County of Elgin will go on holidays in late September and will likely retire when they are completed. 6. The Committee has discussed the Ministry of the Environment's paper on Blueprint. for Waste Management. and has noted that the Ministry of the Environment proposes that the Counties should become responsible for the disposal of municipal and special wastes. Local municipalities would then only be responsible for the collection and transportation of this waste to the disposal sites. If this policy is implemented staff will be required at a County level to administer disposals and it is likely t.he Count.y costs will increase more than local costs will decrease because of the proposed increase in monitoring. etc., that will be required by the Ministry. WE RECOMMEND: 1. That a by_law be passed ammending County By_Law #83-25, County Parking Regulations, Schedule A, Section 2, Subsection (ii) to read as follows: County Road #27 from a point 302.0 metres east of the line between Lots 18 and 19, Concession Ill, easterly 273 metres on the sauth side of Road #27. This will restrict parking east of the Sparta School. 2. That a by_law be passed restricting the weight on the Cook's Bridge to 5 tonne, and a new by_law be passed updat.ing the present By-Law #83-9. We have been advised by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications that the repair of the Cook's Bridge on Count.y Road #43 over the Big Otter Greek is not practical and it should be replaced.

(' ''-.:_...:._'1(>'~ .j\ \, i "L(,~,\ J.oan Wakeling, C~irman . ~/"y ~ TREE COMMISSIONER'S REPORT November Session, 1983 To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council, Once again it is time to report the activities of this past year. Positive response has resulted from the notice printed in all the Elgin County newspapers regarding the destruction of trees. Woodlot owners have questioned the validity of the By-Law and have requested explanation on what can and cannot be cut. Applications for land clearing have increased from 1982, which causes one to speculate prosperity is looking brighter and last year's crops were perhaps better than what was first apparent. Wood cut~ers are again in full swing about the County, preparing their cords for sale this Fall. I have personally tried to visit all these people to inform them of the By-Law regulations and inquire about their source of wood. Farmers with woodlots abutting'roads would be wise to keep a close eye on their woods. Wood 'rustlers' were discovered in-West Elgin and South Dorchester area la~tyear. When these men were confronted, they stated permission has been granted by the landowner. Upon discussing the matter with the owner, it was found that no such permission had been sought and the owner was unaware of their presence. All stumps had been carefully concealed by leaves, deliberately placed over them. The matter was turned over to the property owner to deal with as he saw fit. Routine visits were made to the six logging compan- ies operating within Elgin County. On investigating these operations, I feel a further amendmen~ to By-Law No. 80-12 regarding skidways needs consideration. No established width maximum has been stated and, in several cases, skidways were found to be much in excess of what is necessary. Bayham, Southwold and Yarmouth carried out extensive tree planting programs this year. It is hoped these programs will continue next year and encourage the other Townships to follow their example. I have noticed young trees planted under hydro lines, however, one knows when these trees become an attractive size, hydro will only be out to cut the tops out and destroy their appearance. More consideration should be given to the location of future plantings. On January 26, I attended an evening meeting in London, open to woodlot owners and Tree Commissioners. The Ministry of Natural Resources conducted a seminar on refores- tation, woodlot management and possible tax breaks on reforested land. Mr. Wm. Caverly accompanied me to another meeting set by the Ministry on March 9. Forest management was stressed to the five local Tree Commissioners, Council Members and conservation groups in attendance. Dr. Baldwin presented a slide on the pros and cons of shelter belts and wind breaks. I would like to see Council investigate the possibility of Dr. Baldwin visiting our County with his presentation. It would be most beneficial to anyone contemplating these pro- jects. Following lunch, we toured two woodlots in the Komoka- Mount Brydges area. 321 - 2 I would like to thank Warden MarT and the several Council Members who assisted in accompanying me to many a woodlot, on often very short notice. Their interest and co-operation is greatly appreciated. George Leverton and his Office Staff have been most generous with their support when called upon. Many thanks are extended to the Township Clerks and their Staff, and Road Crews who on occasion have relayed information saving me the mileage and time back to the office. The Ministry of Natural Resources, in Aylmer, and their Staff have been most helpful with their knowledge and assistance. ALL of which is respectfully submitted. ;:/;" / , I<;;f'j' Charles C.

I am pleased to say, in general, a satisfactory program of weed control has been managed. The Townships have operated good spray programs. Some started early to avoidtohacco, soya beans and vege~able crops. however. this leaves us with weeds developing later. This year more farmers with such crops at roadsides have spent several hours mowing these areas. Their efforts are immediately rewarded by an improved community image and later by fewer weeds infesting their crops. Only one Township did not spray this year. opting for a system of mowing. Yarmouth Township had three mowers cutting continuously all roadsides, fence to fence where possible. Mowing eliminates the danger of overs pray on neighbouring crops and with continuous cutting, the spread of weeds is greatly reduced. One has only to drive in this Township to appreciate the men on these machines, seeing where they have gone and the difficult terrain that haS been mowed. Another advantage to the mowing may surface this Winter, as there should be less snow build-up on these well-groomed shoulders. Elgin County experimented with spraying of Cattails and Giant Reed Grass in some areas. It is hoped this will eliminate the necessity of digging these out every other year, thus saving substantial expense. It will be a year or two before we can adequately evaluate the effectiveness of this test. Considerable time was spent following up the multi- tude of telephone and written requests concerning neglected privately-owned lands. In most cases, the offenders were absentee land owners who were most eager to comply with the regulations when informed of the problem. Due to our lengthy growing season this year. it was necessary that some lots be cut twice. A special thanks is deserving the Citizens of Elgin County for their co-operation. A Spring meeting of the nine Weed Inspectors of Southwestern Ontario and three of the four Railway Companies was held March 29. The Railways demonstrated a positive concern for a weed control program, but were restricted by a low budget for this purpose. We are pleased with the progress that has resulted from such meetings and are encouraging a Fall meeting to discuss plans and methods for next year. Conrail was not represented at the April meeting, but did manage a complete mowing along their lines, and repeated a cutting again in August at crossings and stations when requested. The Canadian Pacific mowed once thoroughly in Elgin, using rotary mowers cutting five metres on each side 0f the rails. On August 16, I represented Elgin County at a Weed Inspector's Meeting held at the Guelph Agricultural COllege. Each Inspector was to bring weed samples from his area to be informally presented and discussed. r attempted to contribute a sample from each Township; Marijuana from Yarmouth, Globe Thistle from Aldborough, Beggertick from Malahide, Johnson's Grass from Southwold, Jerusalem Artichoke from Dunwich, and Common-Barberry from Aylmer. We had the opportunity to take a walking tour through Dr. Alex's experimental weed garden on the Campus. Problems and methods were shared by Inspectors from Barrie to Windsor. 323 - 2 - I would like to thank County COUTIcil fOT their co-operation and advice throughout the year. The Townships and their Employees, the Road Superintendents, Township Clerks and Secretaries have been very co-operative- a pleasure to work with. George Leverton and his Office Staff have extended a most appreciated helpful hand many times. Progress has been made in weed control this season and I am confident in its continuance. Next year I will be stressing more mowing on County Roads in combination with the existent spray programs. ALL of which is respectfully submitted. rj,'i,,;, /' I-fa(/-,c:/ Charles C. Staff~rd, Elgin County Weed Inspector. DIRECTOR/ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO ~H~ WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL: It is my pleasure to attach the financial reports covering the Elgin County Homes for Senior Citizens (Elgin Manor, Terrace Lodge and Byrne Rest Home) . The Byrne Rest Home is a satellite of Elgin Manor which allows Elgin Manor to purchase services for senior citizens. This satellite home is an important part of the Elgin County Homes for Senior Citizens as it allows for senior citizens to have an alternative from a large home for the aged setting. The report attached covers ten months ending October 31st 1983. Also, attached is a full copy of the budget for 1983 which covers Elgin Manor, Terrace Lodge and Byrne Rest Home. From this you will see that we have listed the 1982 actual, 1983 proposed and the actual up to October 31st 1983. Once again I would like to thank the department heads for working within the budget allocated and I am confident that we will be able to live for the next two months on our 1983 budgets. On looking at these reports as of October 31st 1983 we had 134 residents residing in Elgin Manor with 7 residents beds being reserved for residents in the General Hospital making a total of l4l beds in full occupancy. At Terrace Lodge we had a total of 95 residents in occupancy with 2 residents in the General Hospital making a total of 97. As in other years we have educated the senior citizens living in the community to place their names on our waiting list for occupancy as and when they require care. Residents waiting to move into Elgin Manor are 57 ladies and 28 men and 4 married couples. However, it is very hard to realize from this how many are considered urgent active waiting beds. At Terrace Lodge we have 42 senior citizens on the waiting list, 27 ladies and II men and 2 married couples. During the year many members of Council have asked me the question as to what type of residents could be admitted into Elgin Manor and Terrace Lodge and this year I would like to give you some information which will assist you during the year. Elgin Manor and Terrace Lodge and our Satellite Home provide comprehensive residential care to anyone aged 60 years and over who are 325 -2- no longer able to maintain independant living arrangements. Senior citizehsof Elgin County receive preference of admission, but subject to the availability of beds, any Canadian citizen living in the Province of Ontario could be admitted. Applicants, who in the opinion of the Medical Director, need hospital or nursing home services are not admitted into Elgin Manor, Terrace Lodge or the Byrne Rest Home. The Rome is not a licensed extended care facility in the way that nursing homes are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Health under the Nursing Home Act. The Home is regulated by the Ministry of Community and Social Services under the Homes for the Aged and Rest Home Act and does not represent itself as a Health Care Facility, but rather a social facility. People who need extended care services, that is to say, personal and skilled nursing care in excess of l~ hours each day are candidates for a nursing home. While people who need less than l~ hours nursing care each day are candidates for Elgin Manor. Terrace Lodge or the Byrne Rest Home cannot accommodate any person on extended care. Residents of Elgin Manor are not discharged when they reach the point of needing more than l~ hours per day nursing care, due to the normal advance of old age and infirmity. Their needs will continue to be met and extended care services will be provided up to the limits of the Homes capabilities. This includes light bed care but does not extend to those who need to be in bed all the time, or those whose condition calls for heavy care. A Home for the Aged therefore provides residential or custodian care to elderly people who need it arid who are ambulatory and who require light bed care or who are mildly confused but do not need hospital or nursing home services when admitted. Terrace Lodge is a residential care Home that offers no nursing care whatsoever. If a senior citizen requires nursing care, then they are transferred to Elgin Manor. Elgin Manor has 68 extended care beds and 82 Residential care beds. It is important that members of Council are aware of this information as during the last few months I have been questioned by persons living in the community as to what type of care Elgin Manor and Terrace Lodge offer. The policy adopted by Elgin County Homes for Senior Citizens ~ommittee of Management some years ago has certainly been an asset to -,- senior citizens living in the community and we have been offering Home Support Services to senior citizens, a further alternative to institutional living and we are very happy to offer the following programs: Meals on Wheels: We now have a volunteer service delivering meals on wheels to residents in the community and at the present time we are delivering 14 meals per day, five days per week, making a total of 70 meals each week. Wheels to Meals: The senior citizen is brought in to the Home for the Aged for a noon meal Monday to Friday and the seniors can enjoy the social contact gained through congregate dining. Day Care: Elderly citizens attend the Home activities on a daily basis enjoying a hot meal and the craft and recreation program. Day Care residents may require transportation which can be arranged. At the present time we have 5 residents who are coming in on a daily basis to our day care program. vacation Care: Senior Citizens residing with their family may be admitted to the Home for a short term admission which enables the family to take a vacation knowing their family resident is being cared for. Recuperation Care: Senior citizens who have been hospitalized may require more professional nursing care whic~ the Eome for Senior Citizens can provide. A short term admission should be arranged prior to hospitaliz- ation. This program has been widely used during the 1982 season. Telephone Call for Assistance: We have supplied telephone stickers to the senior citizens in the community and we are available on a 24 hour basis should the senior require some sort of assistance to continue living in the community. Telephone Assurance: Seniors residing alone in the community are contacted 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 cbntacted. 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 Planning: 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 our dietician will provide necessary information and guidance. 327 -4- Winter Residence: Seniors who are apprehensive about living alone for the winter may be accommodated for a short term admission. The cost is determined on an ability to pay basis. This program has been widely used and is certainly a program that Elgin County can be proud of. Assisted Bathing: Seniors who are unable to bathe themselves are encouraged to contact the Home to arrange a time for a whirlpool bath. Their 'own doctor is required to sign a consent form for the whirlpool. A nominal fee is charged for each bath. At the present time we have 12 seniors coming in to our Homes to participate in this program. Exercise: Fitness should be a concern for seniors who are able to take advantage of water exercises. At Terrace Lodge there is a swimming pool staffed by a qualified instructor. Participants are welcome to attend the swim classes and to obtain the weekly times, by contacting the office. Regular exercise classes are held each morning at 10:30 and we encourage new members to join to keep fitness in their daily routine. Adjuvant classes are held Monday to Friday at Elgin Manor. The adjuvants are trained to work with seniors who may require assistance to walk and provide therapy for varied disabilities. Our Day Care Program has expanded quite rapidly and the senior citizens membership who come to our Drop-In centre total 230, and operates 2-3 days per week. Also included in this program is use of the swimming pool which has 35 swimmers each week and we also operate the swim program for the retarded children from Springfield school which total 10 on a weekl~ basis. During this last year we have used the services of the YWCA who has offered community programs Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday for mothers and tots. We are using our swimming pool to the full use for the senior citizens and community around us. We have recently organized a new program for seniors in the community in co-operation with the Registered Nurse's Association of Elgin County and the Terrace Lodge Auxiliary, we shall be offering a monthly Blood Pressure Clinic. The participants shall receive a card indicating their blood pressure each month in order that the doctor may be kept informed. We anticipate this program will become very popular. This year we were very honoured at the Ontario Association of Homes for the Aged to have our auxilaries in Elgin Manor and Terrace LOdge presented with the Marguerita Smith Award for excellence of services offered to senior citizens. -5- This year was the third year that both P.omes have been recognized for outstanding services to senior citizens and this goes to prove that the programs and services offered are providing a meaningful existence to the senior citizens who reside in our Homes. The Committee of Management held an appreciation luncheon for the members of our auxiliaries on November 4th at Terrace Lodge which was well presented by auxiliary members and was much appreciated. The Warden, Bud Marr and the Chairman of the Committee of Management, Deputy Reeve Don Pearson commended the auxiliaries for their excellent w9rk in relation to the services offered to our Homes. I would like to thank the Committee of Management of Elgin County Homes for Senior Citizens and members of Elgin County for allowing us to arrange the many varied programmes for senior citizens and I certainly hope we can continue to offer as many programs and services to our senior citizens to assist them in living in the community rather th~n be institutionalized.
