Establish hiring policy at annual Rest Home meeting, A proposal to prohibit the hiring of any family member of the board of directors or the staff of the Blue Water Rest Home sparked a debate among those attending the Home's annual meeting on June 17. Paul Steckle was on his feet im- mediately to argue for defeat of the motion. He said adoptiatof the policy would deny some in this Anal' com- munity employment at the Home, and would mean.others would be exclud- ed from serving on the board. He sug- gested the board appoint a personnel committee and that applications be dealt with by thd.board instead of the administrator. Board chairmanIan McAllister ex- plained that the resolution had been drafted after receipt last November of a registered letter signed by 19 staff members objecting to the hiring of administrator Josef Risi's daughter. Risi's a is also an employee at the Home. teeting with four staff memb rs had recognized some legitima complaints, and Risi had refuted' many of the charges, McAllister said. Board member Robert Westlake in- terjected to say relations had been smoothed over, and "what seemed. important in November is not nearly as important now". Anson McKinley spoke up to say he was "not comfortable with the resolu- tion as it stands", as he did not think any members had the authority to dictate hiring criteria. He seconded Steckle's motion to bring the matter' to a vote. Medical advisor Dr. Charles Wallace and Neil Gingerich also had reservations about the proposed policy. Steckle's motions was supported by a majority of those voting. ' McAllister said the board would ask the administrator to present future prospective employees for board ac- cepts in the same way as admis- sions a not brought before the board for ap val. In 's report, Risi said the new 40 foot by 50 foot addition costing $65,000 is complete except for floor covering. It has been named the Elmeel awson Auditiroum in recognition of a sizeable bequest. The financial statement shows revenue of $943,703 and expenses of $940,203, leaving a net income of $3,499, down from $12,965 the previous year. Salaries account for 81 percent of operating costs. McAllister reported that the seven nurses em . to ed at the Ho have been accredited to bargain collective- ly, and are negotiating salaries at}d -benefits. He said one concern was the double cost of days off with pay, as so- meone else had to be hired to take ti!fee place of the absent one. An enlarged membership As another goal of the directors'. McAllister said he hoped for new peo- ple with fresh ideas, dedicated to high quality care for the elderly at affor- dable cost. David Harvey from the ministry of community and social services cau- tioned that little more money was available at present for Huron Coun- ty, where ;14 per capita is now granted for services like home sup- port, as compared to the St per capita provided by the province for those over 65 in London. Harvey said the new Exeter nurs- ing home, and expansion of the one in Hensel!, would have some effect on the Blue Water. Observing that the Home would "not rest on its laurels but look for new challenges", , he foresaw the possibility of a smaller version of the Huronview day care program being implemented at the Blue Water. Risi said the per diem rate for residential care will increase by Si ef- fective October 1. He passed out copies of a promotional brochure be- ing distributed in the community to 'keep the Blue Water Rest Home in the forefront in the care of the elderly'.
