Miller said Dr. J.A. Assing, the hospital's chief of staff bas flot resigned bis post and it is the cbief of staff wbo 18 responsible for atten- ding to medical policy. "As long as be doesn't resign i' s stili possible for us to legally provide medical care. He's the king pin in medical questions," said Miller. The admînistrator said it bas been pretty much business as usual dscape arcbitect bas told the operations committee. Lowell D. Savage, speaking on bebalf of Ed Hyde, president of Grand Oaks Homes, the firm that la constructing the subdivision told the members of the com- mittee that the con- sulting firm be works running smoothly at the bospital this week apart from the resignations and the bospital's emergency ward was stili, operating, although be was unsure wbat the doctor's migbt do in tbe days abead. As of noon yesterday, the emergency ward at Ajax-Pickering General Hospital was sbut down and patients were being referred to Ruddy of". Scarborougb. Miller said tbey were prepared at Ruddy emergency to bandie any overload that migbt occur as a result of the Ajax- Pickering closure. If doctors found tbey were inundated with patients as a result of those referrals, Miller said the bospital as a disaster plan that automatically will go in- to effect to ensure that patienta receive the necessary care. None of Dr. J.O. Rud- dy's medical s taff were available for comment and repeated calîs by the Free Press were not returned. FROM PG. 3 Welfare families squeezed aide the hospital, be -avallable. Speaking for the Social Planning Council, Susan Fletcher the executive director told the committee that of the clients the council receives from Wbitby, an average of 60,9 per- cent of their income was spent on bousing. For example, a family of two receives only $627 per montb in welfare, including a $155 rent supplement; if 60.9 per- cent or $381.84 were spent on rent, only $245.16 per rnonth would be left to pay for food, electricity, telephone, clotbing and transpor- tation. She said this bas for- ced many familles to turn to -lood banks to feed their familles. Some of the recomn- mendations she made included a request that the town consider waiving lot levies for non-profit housing projecta, that tbe town encourage mixed in- come housing develop- ment on tbe Port Wbitby area and encourage the redevelopment of lands at Whitby Psychiatrict Hospital for affordable housing. Senior citizens, single parent families and trans'enta wbo visit hostels are also in desperate need of affor- dable housing, the committee beard. The planning depar- tment and members of the committee will now review the submissions and will schedule fur- tber public meetings in September to discuss answers tri the problems.

"We were given the green ligbt to go abead," be said. The green light on the Tuesday comes after two councillors, Joe Drumm and Joe Bugelli, stood during last Monday's council meeting and lasbed out at Grand Oaks Homes for not finisbing the subdivision. But Savage said be was unaware of the comments made during the meeting, a comment wbicb saw some com- mittee members smile and make remarks to the contrary. #I'm glad the message got througb that quick," said coun- cillor Gerry Emm. Mr. Hyde was scbeduled on the com- mittee's agenda to ap- pear in person but in a letter he sent to the committee, informing them be would be unable to appear, the president of Grand Oaks Homes told the commit- tee that the remarks made by the two coun- cillors has affected the sale of the homes. Il... sales were going good until certain coun- cillors made remarks," stated the letter. However, wbile coun- cillors have been corn- plaining that the work on the subdivision is being ignored, cirector of the town's wnrkia; SEE PG. 25 Oyagi unhappy about takeover bers stated that more people will be able to see tbe bouse if it is situated at Cullen Gardens. However, Oyagi does not see the recommen- dation that way. He believes there will be no guarantee if Len Cullen should selI tbe Gardens, "and under wbat con- ditions would we look af- ter it? we just don't want to be caretakers. "Up to this point we have had no helio fromn the town so we owe it tri ourselves to carry on witb tbe study. There is no way tbey can take over," said Oyagi who also questioned tbe role of councillor Marcel Brunelle in the preceedings, the town's representative on the society. "He stated a number of times the town would have nothing to do with the home, yet tbe whole thing is well engineered,- said Oyagi. Councillor Brunelle was unavailable for comment, but at.Mon- day night's meeting he said the society "tried their best. It was just too little too late. There is no more time for studies, argumenta or debates, it la time for action." Another part of the recommendation calîs for the house to be designated as a Heritage Structure once it is relocated to Cullen Gardens. Councillor Ross Bat- ten, wbo introduced the motion, called tbe move "the best deal for the taxpayers of Whitby." However, councillor Gerry Emm said he boped tbe move by the committee would not lead to a "war" between the society and the council. FROM KG. 4 A weli rounded Knell his family but a community that stili thrives and grows 131 years after its in- corporation. Whitby wasn't buit by the yuppies or the corporate executives. It wasn't built by the affluent. It was buit by ordinary people. A comniunity must not be planned solely for those who can afford $100,000 homes. A community must meet the needs of people from ail walks of life, with ail kinds of needs. That's what a rounded community means to me. »~7 77~V 7 ,YMJL7 ONE DAY ONLY~ 668-0474 OUTD)OOR INN' CAMPING & HIKING DOWNTOWN DISCOVERY SPECUALS .3 PRS.SATURDAY, JUNE 21J'86 *3PR.DOM ETENT 48.90 A 0~ *3 PERS. 2 DOOR DOM E C4 TENT BISON 99.90 @3 PERS.
