Here, two Durham's Regional Council Asks Municipalities to Regulate Safety and Health ■ oardin by Andrea Adair Durham Region is encouraging its eight municipalities to pass a by-law to regulate safety and care in boarding homes. Although Durham has no authority to regulate the matter, it has asked each of its eight municipalities to adopt and implement a boarding house by-law because of concerns about conditions in some homes. The request was made last week during the regular meeting of Regional Council. Council. Newcastle Councillor Diane Iiamro, chairman of the health and social services services committee, said the homes they specifically want to regulate are ones where people have difficulty looking after themselves or their own welfare. Examples of these homes arc ones where people have been released from a psychiatric hospital or a detox centre. centre. "I want to stress there arc many responsible responsible homo administrators and well-run homes. The ones we arc concerned concerned about aren't meeting the minimum minimum standards of care," she said. As an example she mentioned one boarding homo where a resident, who was unable to read or write, was administering administering medication to other residents residents during the weekends, "There are very serious abuses taking taking place in these homes to individuals Darlington Plugged in The Darlington Nuclear Generating Station was reconnected reconnected to the Ontario Hydro Hydro electrical system at 10 pan. last Tuesday. ■ Sue Stlckloy, community relations ofiicer at Darlington, Darlington, said about <10,000 kilowatts kilowatts - or enough electricity to meet the needs of the Town of Trenton - is being produced.

Members of Durham Regional Council last week listened to a presentation presentation by health and social services staff about why tho by-law was being recommended to municipalities and what it would entail. Joan Nesbitt, a public health nurse supervisor with tho Region, said the media has focused attention on boarding boarding homes in tho past year, bringing to light some negative conditions. She said there are serious concerns regarding the standard of nutrition, overcrowding, cleanliness and tho handling handling of residents' finances. "These standards of personal care are of a minimal standard. But in reference reference to tho number of boarding homes I have seen, the standards would have a great effect on the residents' residents' standard of life," Mrs. Nesbitt said. The by-law will control areas such as maintenance, resident capacity, garbage disposal, water heating, record keeping and safety. Roman Mnlnnczyj, a public health educator for environmental health services services with tho Durham Region, said enforcement of the by-law will bo flexible flexible and that agencies such as public health, fire inspectors, by-law enforce ment officers and police officers would be able to note violations of the law. Councillor Iiamro said the by-law, that Council is encouraging the municipalities municipalities to implement, is adaptable to each municipality and will set standards, standards, licensing and enforcement. The other part of the problem concerning concerning boarding homes, she said, is that many municipalities arc unaware about the homes located within their boundaries. Many aren't aware of their existence existence until a complaint is lodged by a neighbor, she continued. Because the by-law is adaptable, she said, municipalities could require licencing. This would keep track of the homes that arc present. She said she isn't sure about what Newcastle Council will do with tho proposal for a boarding house by-law. But Councillor Iiamro looks favorably on tho idea, 'There have been enough concerns in tho past year and discussion on the issue and how to resolve it that 1 expect expect Newcastle council to look at it very closely and if possible, I can see council adopting it." she said. She added that "if it is a responsible homeowner, tho by-law isn't a throat."
