Esimene akronüüm tohiks lugejale üha laiemalt maad võtva poliitkorrektsuse kaudu tuttav olla, teise pidin hädaga leiutama. Põhjustajaks sai kohalikus ühiskonnas aset leidnud sündmus, mis on häirinud üldsuse meelerahu sel määral, et tunnen endal kohustust sekkuda. Mitte ajakirjanikuna, vaid ühiskonna mureliku ja erapooletu liikmena.
Vahetult enne Eesti Abistamiskomitee Kanadas (EAK) peakoosolekut vallandas mainitud organisatsiooni juhatus ootamatult Ehatare tegevusjuhi Rosemarie Lindau pärast 13aastast teenistust. Vallandamise põhjust pole avalikustatud. Kuna vallandatud isik on siinses kogukonnas hästi tuntud ja lugupeetud, siis vallandas EAK juhatuse otsus pahameeletormi, mis ei taha vaibuda.
Eesti Elu 17. juuni numbris toodi ära EAK juhatusele esitatud protestiavaldus Ehatare ja Eesti Kodu elanikelt. On märkimisväärne, et Ehatare 93 elanikust andis avaldusele allkirja 81 isikut. Samaaegselt algatas grupp RL tuttavaid aktsiooni võrgulehel teda pooldavate allkirjade kogumisega. Nende ridade kirjutamise ajal on allkirju ülemaailmselt laekunud 440, nende seas hulk prominentseid avaliku elu tegelasi.
EE 30. juuni numbris avaldati EAK juhatuse vastus Ehatare elanikele ja nende perekondadele. Sellele on alla kirjutanud kõik üheksa juhatuse liiget, kes samuti siinsele avalikkusele hästi tuttavad. Hoolikalt sõnastatud vastusest võib välja lugeda hoolimist Ehatare elanikkonna muredest ja vajadustest, kuid selles keeldutakse kindlasõnaliselt tööandja ning teenistuja vahekorda puutuvaid küsimusi avalikustamast, toetudes töömaailmas kasutatavatele üldistele tavadele.
Nii olemegi sattunud olukorda, kus juriidiliselt on kõik korras (JOKK), kuid moraalselt on miski mäda (MOMM). Ma lepiksin EAK juhatuse vastusega, kui nende vastu oleks alustatud juriidiline väärteomenetlus töötaja ebaõiglase vallandamise pärast. Seda pole minuteada tehtud. On püütud avaldada EAK juhatusele moraalset survet, millele nemad reageerivad juriidiliselt lähtepunktilt. Protestikiri ja vastus on kirjutatud erinevates keeltes.
On päevselge, et EAK juhatuse otsusest tekkinud torm ei vaibu iseenesest, selleks on järellainetuse hari liiga kõrge. Kui tahame oma ühiskonnas taastada harmooniat – ja meie kõigi, eeskätt vanurite huvides peame seda tahtma – siis tuleb vastaspooltel leida mingi rahulik ning asjalik modus operandi, tuleb hakata üksteisega rääkima. Me lihtsalt ei saa endile lubada võitlust, kus pole võitjaid, vaid ainult kaotajad. Praeguse kursiga liigume just selles suunas.
Minu tänase kirja ainus eesmärk on apelleerida kõigi asjaosaliste tervele mõistusele. Mõni võib ehk minu eelpool mainitud erapooletuses kahelda, olles näinud ka minu allkirja võrgulehe avaldusel. Jah, ma toetan Rosemarie Lindaud täie rinnaga, kuid samas ei suuda ma uskuda, et EAK juhatuse liikmed, kelle tööd ma hindan ja kellest ma enamikku hästi tunnen, oleksid langetanud kergekäeliselt ebapopulaarse otsuse. Nende otsus pidi olema tehtud haruldases üksmeeles, sest keegi neist ei ole protestiks oma ametikohalt tagasi astunud. Tahan väga loota, et nad kõik kuulasid oma südametunnistuse häält ega juhindunud pimedast lojaalsusest.
Veel üks tähelepanek. EAK juhatus nimetab oma kirjas seda organisatsiooni Ehatare puhke- ja põetuskodu omanikuks ja haldajaks. Taas õige termin, kuid ainult juriidiliselt. Tegelik omanik on siiski meie kohalik kogukond, eesti rahvas. Just selle omaniku poole ma praegu pöördun. Ootan, et peremees lausuks oma kaaluva sõna.
Arvamus: JOKK, aga MOMM (49)

Euthanasia basically operates on the same principle. Thanks to democracy it is possible (read enforcible!) to use the almost completely inadequately objective response from the 90+ range group who can be usurped of all rights with the sleight of a signature, but the loophole is protected with the fiercest of democratic reasons. It brings discredit the humanity, but who cares when the problems have reached such a critical stage for those with a personal interest in the outcome.
I just visited the Ehatare web-site and found a very interesting section in the nursing home section.
“Residents’ Council
The residents’ council meets every 3 months to discuss any concerns and to make suggestions. Family members and all residents are encouraged to attend. Meeting dates are posted on the residents’ bulletin board one week prior to the meeting. Concerns and suggestions are documented, investigated, and responded to in writing by the administrator of Ehatare within 21 days. Both minutes and responses are posted.”
I suppose if there were any issues with Rosie… they would have been brought up at these meetings and dealt with. I understand a meeting took place after Rosie was terminated – it would be interesting to know if the discussion of Rosie’s absence was be brought up. I am not sure who can get access to the posted minutes and responses… but again… will it show issues about Rosie and her ability to do her job? Will it show in any of the reports from all the years gone by any issue about Rosie? Perhaps someone who has the right to view these reports might like to take a look at them? Tell us… what do the residents think right now – after the last meeting where the minutes posted? Where their concerns addressed? Do they have questions about Rosie’s termination?
I do not believe there is a “residents council” for the retirement home since it does not appear to be mandated. Are their meetings? Are those questions and concerns posted? Are they dealt with? Anything negative about Rosie? I doubt it.
“Ehatare Watcher” asks why someone would want to air their employee and employer issue in the open. I can only think it is because they have nothing to fear. Why does Ehatare not want a mediator and deal with this issue expediently? Put an end to this endless speculation. That is truly the issue I wonder about. If they are so sure there was just cause they would be EAGER to prove themselves. I understand fully that they cannot speak openly on a forum like this…. That would leave them open to slander… but a mediator is truly an option that would once and for all end all this discussion.
As for the seniors, that is what most of us are concerned about. FEAR and UNCERTAINTY and SADNESS is not good for seniors. Yet, firing Rosie has caused all those emotions for the seniors IN Ehatare and those waiting on list to get in. They want to understand WHY?
Tell me, is Rosie the ONLY person who left or was fired for “unknown reasons?” Please ask your family members who live there or who want to live there how this uncertainty effectst them! Responsible Board members should deal with this swiftly and clear the air. If they are so certain no wrong was done to Rosie or others – then why postpone a mediator? Delay adversely affects the residents and the image of Ehatare.

To me. "openly said" does not count if you are hiding behing a pseudonym.
