Edwards commented that Ontario Health Minister Dennis Timbreil bad already answered opposition to the move by saying the Mlnlstry would not go along with it. George- Lofthouse, a for- mer chairman of the board at the J.O. Ruddy, urged the Durhamn Region Wo set up a separate chronic care hospital to meet future needs. Lofthouse, acting chair- man of the committee looking into the possible use, 0f Ruddy as a chromec care centare, told those gathered 0f his envlsioned hospital being planned along the same limes as a succesaful operation in Thunder Bay. He said the Thunder Bay operation bas a chronic care hospital set up in a complex along witb a nursing home for senior citizens. Hie told the council that such a hospital should be built within five years bec-ause "by that Urne there wlll ethe need."' l'In the long rn the region should be looklng into at a hospital of it's own. " Many of the 30 gathered were connected wltb the Whitby hospital or the Durham Reglon Health Couneil. The meeting was the first in a series of public meetingo schieduled to be held in communities in the region which bave general hospitals. Members of the hospital board recommended that an empty floor Wn the hospital, originally planned to bouse a maternity ward, to be renovated and used as a chronle care ward until the bospital is establisbed to serve that purpose. Lofthouse said that the bospital board will bring in professional belp, either an architeet or a consultant, to help plan changes to the ward. He called the Dr. J.O. Ruddy Hopital one of the best designed hospitals ln the region saylng that it was planned wlth provisions for expandlng faclilties to han- dle500 beds. Reglonal Councillor Gerry Emm was on band at the meeting as a show 0of coun- cils support Wo the project. "Council endorses keeplng J.O. Ruddy as an active bospital" said Emîn. He said that many people moving Into town from Metro are not mware of the existance of an active bospital in Whitby and therefore, continue to use their old physicians where they used to live. Emm also commented that coundil bave been ad- vertising the existance and competance of the J.O. Rud- dy Hosptial throughout the community with the slog;an, "If you don't use it you'fl loose it. " Tough new laws will deter trespassing. liaiweoeheping toh poebectyo ana y-p-p For nearly 150 years Ontario has had a law making it an offence to enter property where entry is prohibited. But now new legisiation - The Trespass to Property Act- has toughened up the law to protect your rights. Trespassers can now be fined up to $1,000. In addition, they can be ordered to pay for damages they have caused. An important part of the legisiation designates premises where entry is prohibited without notice. These include your gardens, orchards, vineyards, land under cultivation, woodlots and fenced land. Where notice must be given to prohibit entry, you may use red markings on gates, trees or fences. Yellow markings may be used to caution that only certain activities may be permissible. It is the responsibility of the visitor to find out what you permit. LAND USED FOR RECREATION In the past, there was a great deal of confusion regarding your responsibility to people you allow on your land. Consequently many farmers and rural Iandholders would not alloW recreational activities on their properties. Now another new act -The Occupiers' Liability Act- reduces your responsi- bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes that those who take their recreation on most rural land without paying a fée will take care for their own safety. A special system has been devised to allow you to easily indicate which activities you will allow on your property. A sign naming or graphically representing an activity (for example, hiking) indicates that the activity is permitted. The samne kind of sign with an oblique stroke through it means that you prohibit the activity. These new laws are part of a continuing program to streamline our legisiation. By clarifying your rights, they afford you greater /.I protection from trespass and also reduce your liability when you make land available for recreational purposes.z: For full details, obtain a copy of this free pamphlet.
