2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 5, 1979 Hospi tal's lnquest Report Million D FomPlla1Sueze By Donna Fairey Bowmanvilie Memorial Hospita's admiristrator, R.E. Eiston, said yesterday another three weeks will be required before resuits of an in- house investigation will be finalized. Though formai findings of a six- man'investigation committee were to be available within 14 days, nearly 10 weeks have passed since the study began. The in-house investigation was initiated by the hospital board foliowing a coroner's inquest into the death of Harold Hibben, 67, Orono, who died in Toronto's Sunnybrook Medical Centre iast November loth after an operation in Bowmanvilie the previous day. The officiai cause of death was listed as "widespread infection and shock from a perforation of the colon above a cancerous obstruction." The coroner's jury cited a iack of appropriate facilities at the proper time, a medical communfications breakdown combined with inadequate record keeping as contributing factors in the man's death. The hospitai administrator dlaims the extended time required to compiete the in-house investigation, which involves the assessment of physician' s activities, is necessitated by the seriousness of the matter. According to board chairman, John Pogue, it was quickly proven the investigation could not be done adequately or fairly within the confines of the 'originally estimfated two week time frame. The six man investigation committee is dealing directly with the eight recommendations laid out in the coroner's jury report. The board will receive and evaluate the findings of the committee on September 27th and act on them accordingly, said Mr. Elston. "The resuits wlll robably be indicated at that time, " e said The administrator said he had knowledge of three previous inquests in the iast 10 years involving Bowmanville Memoriai Hospital. Mr. Eiston indicated the hospitai board is considering legal action against an Oshawa newspaper in connection with a recent article which alieges, il inquests have taken place involving treatment at Memorial Hospital, Bowmanviiie.

Regional Clerk are going to have the effect of shifting taxes on the residential taxpayer because it is the single family homes that experience the biggest increase in inflationary value. In the Durham Region, the ieast industrialized municipalities, including Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock and Newcastle have the largest increase in levies while Oshawa," Whitby and Pickering have a decrease. "It seems to me that we are in for a 13.5 per cent increase before we take into account inflation rates,, said Councillor Ann, Cowman. Councillor Hobbs said that he was "unhappy" with the findings of the report. After a brief discussion, the report from the treasurer was received for information.

That was the recommenda- tion from Newcastle's finance and administration committee following discussions last nigbt. In a report to the commit- tee, Town Manager Albert Guiler estimated that the street lights would cost $483.84 per yeam for electmicity. The committee is also equesting that the 32 downtown lights be maintained and repaimed by the Bowmanville Public Utili- ties on a time-amd-material basis. Thespencsts would also you have to give the verdict. Imagine, yourself in Pilate's sboes. Jesus had been con- demned to death for blasphe- my and bad been led to the council chambers. They were rushing Jesus down to Pilate's home and hoped to force bim to comdemn Jesus to death. He had to give a ve rdict even thougb he didn't want to. The crowd was shouting but Pilate was trying to staîl. He sent Him, to Hemod but he, too "passed the buck," and Jesus again faced Pilate. He gave tbem a choice between Bara- bus and Jesus, but their decision was that Pilate was influenced by others, by the desime to please the majority, despite the fact that the charges were fake, and he knew it had to do with religion. The people began to thmeaten Pilate and he knew bis political position was threatened. His verdict was defiant - the verdict was made and nothing could change it. Pilate's death is mot definitely recomded in the Bible. He was a self ish coward and he condemned Jesus to the cross to please the wbim of the crowd. Let us put ourselves in Pilate's shoes - we have the same decision to make - what will we do with Jesus? He's the onily one who can bingus to God, give us etemnal lfe, give us peace and joy, and to direct our ways. We have to render a verdict. We know the right thing to do but do we always do it? There are so many of us like Pilate - we'me afmaid to place ourselves' in Jesus' hands, and we're afmaid of what others are goîng to say. We are faced witb a verdict for when we stand befome our Heavenly Father the decision we make heme is final. What will we do with Jesus?
