SAWDUST FLIES - Ki Scott try their talents rkton-Woodham Optimist club president Keith Selves and Bob at log cutting at Sunday's Frog n Logging Days in Kirkton. By Jack Riddell MPP More than two years ago, Liberal Leader David Peter- son established a Task Force, under the chairmanship of Sheila Copps, to examine the state of health care in On- tario. One of the fundamental conclusions arising from that study was the need for government to identify "op- tions for living" for the grow- ing number of elderly people in Ontario, to enable them to live with dignity and with the highest quality of care. That study and others which we have subsequently undertaken disclosed numerous regulatory and structural deficiencies in the planning and implementation of the provincial govern- ment's system of care for our senior citizens. Confused bureaucratic jurisdictions, misappropriation ` and misallocation of care beds, an inappropriate mix o facilities/sbrvicea, 'and basic insensitivity to th rights and needs of patients and their families have led t a deterioration in the availability and the quality care. Clearly, deficiencies wil grow more acute as aging trends in our population con tinue. Within twenty years more than 1.4 million On tarians will be over 65 years of age and the average senior requires six times the medical care needed by an eighteen year old. Another crisis looms - the financial challenge of the colt of quality universally accessi- ble health care. Within this context, the Ontario Liberals have prepared a 13 point pro- gram designed to offer seniors options for living a full and productive life. Striking new directions are essential. Tinkering with the current system cannot be a substitute for necessary changes in strategic direction. The first step must be to reverse the policy in Ontario which is geared toward in- stitutional custodial care of elderly people. We, in the Ontario Liberal Party, reject institutionaliza- tion as the solution for the treatment of our seniors. Some of the people who are now in institutions would not need to be there if alternative support systems were achf s cYottin,3 Options for living provided. In fact, a British study has shown that life expectancies increased for seniors in com- munity residential settings as opposed to institutions. Here in Canada, and in the United States, imaginative model programs to support and maintain seniors at various care levels within the community have already been tested. The 13 -point program which we have advanced outline a series of initiatives which could provide necessary quality care while maintain- ing the sense of personal dignity and independence so precious to our senior citizens. Significantly, by reducing pressure for facilities and ser- vices on existing overtaxed institutions, such approaches may providesome respite for the overburdened health care budget. A second step is to put an end to the bureaucratic in- fighting which has permitted the development of so many gaps in services to our elder- ly people. Responsibility for existing funding and monitor- ing of institutions and ser- f vices must rationalized, a ' `arid' must take iltto account e different levels of care. The practice orpassfng the buck o between the Ministry of Health and the. Ministry of of Community and Social Ser- vices must be stopped. The woefully inadequate and out-of-date basis of the current per diem funding , system must be overhauled. Linked to this acknowledge- _ ment of the need for govern- mental action must be, as a third step, a complementary, formal recognition of the rights of patients and their families. We must create a Bill of Rights for residents of institutions, a system of ad- vocates, and a Health Com- plaints Commission in con- nection with long term care placement. All too often, it is not only seniors but also their families who must bear an enormous burden. A fourth step is to recognize that the needs of our senior citizens vary according to ethnic origin and community, and that there is a great necessity for multilingual community services with a mandate which includes outreach to ethnic seniors. Options do exist, and the provincial government must abandon its hit and miss ap- proach to care for our senior citizens. It must also reject the efforts of the current Minister to limit discussions by restricting to closed ses- sions the meetings of the On- tario Advisory Committee on Seniors. We have called upon the government to give top priori- ty to a commitment to options for living for Ontario's senior citizens, and will continue to urge that early action be taken. Middlesex teachers get pay increase At its regular meeting on July 9, 1984, the Middlesex County Board of Education ratified a Collective Agree- ment with its secondary school teachers of District 41, Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation for the 1984-85 school year. The Agreement represents an increase of 4.5 percent on the salary grid and the same increase applies for prin- cipals and vice -principals. A teacher's salary at the max- imum of Level 4 will be $44,209 in 1984-85 compared to $42,305 in 1983-84. A secondary school principal at maximum salary will receive $59,465 compared to $56,910 last year; and vice -principals will receive a maximum salary of 552,240 compared to $49,990 in. 1983-84. An educational improve- ment leave clause was chang- ed to restrict the number of leaves during the school year to a maximum of three teachers. The secondary school teachers ratified the Collec- tive Agreement at a meeting on June 27. Negotiations were conclud- ed amicably with only one meeting between District 41.

" This statement was ma last Thursday at Holmesville Township H during a public meeting h to determine if the reside of Huron County are terested in the future of t Huron County Pione Museum. The Museum is undergoi a feasibility study that w determine the location of t building, community suppo programs for visitors, types of artifacts to display, staffing of employees and where the necessary funds will come from. The study is being done by four people who make up the museum component. Chris Borgal, an architect from Blyth, has had many years experience dealing with museums. Claus Breede is an archeologist and the director of the Bruce County Museum. The other two members are Frank Wolman and Dorothy Doyle, management con- sultants. This group is to research all the areas of the Huron County Pioneer Museum and report back to County Council. Feasibility study The most significant part of the feasibility study for the residents of Huron County is the location of the museum. There are three options the study is to take into consideration. The first option.is to leave the museum at its present location on North Street and renovate. The second option is to construct a new building on the present site, and the third option is to move the Pioneer Museum outside of Goderich. Renovations are definitely necessary as there are struc- tural problems. Last year the museum was forced to close the top floor because it was considered structurally un- safe. At the same time the museum was required to in stall additional support posts on the main floor. According to Borgal, the structural problems are not the only issues of concern regarding the building which presently houses the museum. The fire code is another problem as the building, which is approx- imately 41,000 square feet, has only one fire exit. Environmental control for the artifacts is also a concern for the group doing the study. "The artifacts need a cons- tant temperature. They can- not be subjected to high humidity and then left to sit in the cold," explained Boragal as he pointed out that the Pioneer Museum is not heated. Breede agreed with Borgal saying, "Part of our study is to do a collections analysis. This means we go through the museum and see what materials are there and the condition they are in. Your ( Huron County) museum has a supberb collection but there isn't the proper housing for it. it might not last into the next generation if nothing is done to improve it." There was not question in the minds of those present at the meeting that something had to be done to the existing building, and several people offered suggestions on how to handle the problem. Mayor Eileen Palmer stated (hat Goderich Town Council has discussed the matter and they would like to see the Pioneer Museum stay in Goderich. She also said that it may be eligible for the ONiP ( Ontario Neighborhood . improvement Program) fun- ding. The Mayor also sug- gested that the Town could provide land for the museum to be put on if it was decided the site should be moved. There was also a suggestion that instead of constructing the entire building so it is en- vironmentally controlled, a certain secton be build for those artifacts which need the temperature control, cutting the cost" Breede agreed with this suggestion and commented that the idea of "micro- environment" zoning of the building is a definite possibility. Community support To determine whether the people of Huron County were interested in the Pioneer Museum or not, surveys were put in each of the County papers twice. A total of seven responses were returned with four surveys filled out by Goderich residents, two by Bayfield residents and one by a Wingham resident. However, at the public meeting on Thursday, ap- proximately 65 people came out to voice their opinions. Many present at the meeting said they did not see the survey in the paper, but an one man said he saw n't survey but just didn't bot he to fill it out. "I haven't been in de museum for 14 years. I di the anwer the survey, and I c all tell you why 1 didn't. Ma eld it just didn't appeal to me. Ms 1 boast about the museum )n- i don't think that peo he aren't responding becaus er lack of interest, people to keep the museum," ng said. he rt, the .events at the museum to see her if they affected the atten- dance in any waytdbl. . the From 1952 1970 ere was a bl.lot of growth at the museum an't in the way of new additions or Ybe programs, and after 1970 But there were no major changes. and Therefore, after the changes pie had stopped, people were not e of attending as much as before. want Through the visitors survey he at the museum, Doyle found that only 20 percent of the people were local visitors. She classified "local" visitors as people within Huron County as well as people within a 40 mile radius. Not counting that 20 percent, she found 55 per- cent were from areas such as London and Stratford, 10 per- cent from the United States and the remainder were spread throughout the rest of Ontario and Canada. Doyle and Wolman will con- ' tinue their study from this point, trying to figure out what can be done with the Pioneer Museum so more people will go through it. To close the meeting, Elsa Haydon of Goderich made a motion that the museum re- main at• its present location and the existing building be used and restored. Doris Hunter of Bayfield seconded the motion. A vote was then taken with only four people opposed. This vote is only for the four museum members to put in their study which will be presented to County Coun- cil and is not a final decision. The study committee will entertain any responses the people of Huron County have up until August 8. They are planning another public meeting for that date but it has yet to be finalized. • One of the few negative comments was made by a lady who stated that she 'felt people outside of Goderich didn't feel as though the museum was part of them. She also stated that she felt uneasy taking her children in- to the museum because it was a fire hazard and their are no hands on displays for the children. A visitor survey has also been conducted at the Pioneer Museum. Dorothy Doyle ex- plained that the data she has collected has only been since the beginning of May and does not include the summer peak period. From the surveys handed in, Doyle has found that 40 percent of the people have visited the museum more than once. More than half of the people hear about the museum through friends or relatives while the other half find out about it through brochures or advertisements. Most people found the museum very satisfying and enjoyed the large selection of artifacts. The only disappointment that was expressed in the surveys was that they would like to see the second floor. Schools in Huron County were also surveyed and it was found that the high schools do not visit the museum. The elementary school children are the major market and they find the trip to the museum enjoyable. Attendance Doyle and Frank Wolman's role in the study is to look at the museum market and the financial aspects. At this point, they are working on two aspects of the market review. Part of the review in- cludes the needs and wishes of Huron County and the se- cond aspect is the potential in the tourism market. In order to come up with in- formation on the tourism market, Doyle looked at ex- isting data. One set of figures she charted were the atten- dance figures starting in 1951 and finishing in 1983. In 1951 the museum started with 2,000 visitors and in- creased to 24,000 by 1960. From 1960 to 1970 the atten- dance leveled off at 25,000. Ever since 1970 the atten- dance has been going down hill with a big dip in 1974. By 1983 attendance had dropped to 12,000. In an attempt to understand why the people were not com- ing to the museum, Doyle looked at the admission rates but found that they were not a major factor. Also in the surveys that were conducted. people found they were get- ting good value for their money. Doyle's next step was to ex- amine the programs and Implements available The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority recently published the results of the conservation tillage trials conducted by the Thames River Implementa- tion Committee. The report indicates a strong role for conservation tillage in agriculture today. Minimiz- ing input costs, labour and time while maintaining yields look increasingly attractive to many farmers. Based on the recommenda- tions made in the report, the Authority is expanding its conservation tillage program. At present, a 9t -shank Glencoe Soil Saver is available to watershed residents at a nominal cost. If sufficient in- terest is generated within the farming community, addi- tional equipment will be made available. The Authority is looking in- to a larger 7 -shank soil saver, a no -till drill, a no -till planter, a soil finisher and a ridger. If you are interested in us- ing one or more of these im- plements on your farm or have any questions about con- servation tillage, please con- tact Marianne Vanden Heuvel at the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, P.O.
