Georgetown Acton Wednesday Town buys trucks Hills has tendered or four works vehicles and the costs are over under budget Terrace Mercury Sales in Burlington was the sue cessfu bidder for two of the chicles and Capital Ford Sales in Georgetown won the other two tenders The total price for the four vehicles is while had been budgeted for the vehicles To print names I ram page 1 1 but its still not air People are acquitted every day because they are innocent of a charge because police make an evidence recording error on technicalities etc Their has been cleared in court and should be cleared in the paper too Its Just not fair to print a name without covering the case in court and that means keeping a lot of staff in a lot of courts for a lot of time and devoting a lot of space to crime And in my view and that of a lot of other journalists blanket court coverage will produce dubious results at best Parents will be embarrassed but in Tew cases will result a change of behavior on the part of a child Knowing who the culprits are may satisfy a readers curiosity they may be able to make some remakrs to the parents but I doubt it will cut down on break ins But since this is so complex a topic with so many considerations Ill deal with my opinions of why printing names or photos wont reduce crime next week Also the third part of this series will deal with some of my personal experiences with crime and court reporting and the issue of printing UK COBBLE UNLSTOHI PRESSURE TREATED TIMBERS 95 NEAREST FACTORY OUTLET ACTON PRECAST CONCRETE LTD Ri 2 ACTON 5198531529 ART

Administrator John Boawmeester Housekeeping staffer Dorothy and nunc Germ nine llanneioa Eden House accredited by the Canadian Council of Hospital Accreditation by Anne Small Is better is necessarily a slogan Eden House Nursing Home lives by out owneradministrator John believes It has its advantages If I were running a nursing home I couldnt possibly be familiar with every resident and every staff member he claims As It is he knows all the people involved In fheoperation of his bed nursing home just outside Eden Mills and he keeping his business small and personal has contributed to its becoming the first nursing home in this area to be accredited by the Canadian Council of Hospital Accreditation The accreditation means the institution has met certain standards of care and ad ministration for nursing homes by the council which also accredits hospitals and other health care centres It a Judging by our peers says we re meeting the standards Boew- claimed The accreditation recel in January following an inspection made in November doesnt change the operation from the routine It has developed over Its 15 years of existence It does mean however that well nil have to work hard to stay up there Bouwmeester added cheer fully Recently Ontario Health Minister Larry Grossman stated he wants alt nursing homes Ontario to be accredited by the Canadian Council by 1884 We decided last fall to go Tor it and see how we do Instead of hiring a consultant to draw up a policy which would enable the home to meet accreditation standards administration and staff of the nursing home decided to figure it out far themselves They were pleasantly surprised to discover they hadnt far to go Most requirements set by the council arc standard procedure at Eden House Last fall a nursing director from Saskatchewan made a day long survey of the operation His report commended the home on nearly all aspects of Its operation making only two recommendations for improvement one for pastoral services and one for a signing procedure which would ensure thai each member of staff has read the home policy manuals The council issues one two and accreditation certificates Eden House received a twoyear accreditation on Its first Inspection Nursing Mary Dadd said with pride The home was built in with mu sing home beds was expanded for a 33 bed operation a comparatively small one and for nursing home operators in these days an expensive establishment to run A small nursing home musl provide the same medical services as a large one Bouwmeester explained To build a small home in 1983 would be economically He feels however mat a small operation is the only way to provide service of a more personal more humanistic nature to the elderly How can you give individual care in a institution a professional social worker feels the personal aspect of patient care is important in an institution Our staff know the residents many grew up in the neighborhood And many of our volunteers have family connections with our residents he added The home is also sort of a family business wife Gail is director of nursing at the home Interest in care for the aging is on the increase he observed Nursing homes have had a poor image In the past Now all of a sudden theyre cleaning up Iheir act and there arc conferences all over on aging caring for the aged and chronically 111 Its

commends the Halton Board of Education for its strong stand on the sub ject The board has petitioned Minister of Communication Francis Fox to discontinue he broadcast of such programming The board also wants to see the federal govern ment amend the CRTC regulation to affect not less than the amount of censorship on television programming as is currently In effect for movie theatre presentations In Ontario A final suggestion of the board Is for the Ontario Separate School Trustees ion to look into the effects of pornography on society In a prepared statement from the board trustees recognized the debate as to whether school should mirror or lead society They feel however that school boards have a legislated duty to make occasional societal interventions when the ideals of citizenship
