McLellan refused comment on the field; he also denied his name is Myles McLellan; and later did not return a phone call before press deadline. He was spotted again at Clay Bank on Saturday, June 27, cutting and harvesting hay. When OPP showed up no one was there, according to OPP Const. Janice Sawbridge. Elizabeth Dorff speaks on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. She said the township asked for the ministry’s help regarding the Endangered Species Act (ESA). “The township was informed that it is the landowner’s responsibility to determine if activities on their land would contravene the ESA,” Dorff said. “Activities undertaken while carrying out an agricultural operation are exempt by regulation from species and habitat Derek Dunn/Metroland protection, with respect to bob- Farmer Myles McLellan talks with OPP constables at Clay Bank Park.

McNab-Braeside is looking to work with Arnprior in other areas, now that the 20-year service agreements deal is in place. Township council formally endorsed the two-decades’ long recreation and library services deal at a June 23 special meeting. After many years of uncertainty surrounding the township’s use of town facilities, the deal is considered a major accomplishment for the new council, one they intend to build on in other areas. Mayor Tom Peckett, who along with his counterpart in Arnprior were the only two politicians at the negotiating table, said the residents involved shared the same concerns and questions. It was
about wanting what is best for both communities. “I’m thankful for all the hard work of residents of both communities,” Peckett said. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden compared the dollar figures with those used by his pro-recreation and library group in the lead up to last year’s election. The group’s petitioning was instrumental in having all members of the last council turfed, and the numbers it used approximated those in the deal. “It is a deal worth making now, because I certainly supported it then,” Armsden said, “as did a lot of our residents.” LANDFILL DEAL?
Looking to build on the success and goodwill between the two communities, Peckett said the first area of mutual con-
cern for him is the Arnprior Landfill. Located just inside the village of Braeside, the landfill is under constant threat of falling below Ministry of Environment standards. Peckett wants to work with Arnprior to find a solution, and to have a replacement plan when the landfill closes in the coming decades. “I have my concerns about the landfill site in Braeside,” Peckett said. “I think together we can make improvements in the long run.” The previous council resisted cooperating with the town in some areas, pointing to a cultural divide between rural and urban Canada. There were also fears that a growth in dependency on the town could lead to another annexation similar to that which happened in the 1980s.

al between Arnprior and McNab-Braeside, the Arnprior Public Library has reinstated all the programs cuts last year when there was no agreement. In response to a query by McNab-Braeside Coun. Heather Lang, Arnprior chief librarian Karen DeLuca told the joint council meeting to table the agreement that “everything’s back.” Things are “going back to the way it was,” she said. It was noted at the meeting that based on 2013 circulation, library users are 51 per cent from Arnprior, 34 per cent from McNab-Braeside and 15 per cent from other areas. Deluca said that McNab-Braeside cardholders have increased by 53 for children and 432 per cent for adults this year over 2014 when no library agreement was in place. In a statement at the joint meeting, Arnprior Public Library Board chair Susan Kirk said that

stable, long-term funding will enable library staff to continue serve the public in many capacities, allowing: • a full complement of youth programming; • homebound delivery for all seniors requiring the service; • readers’ advisory for all library users; • expanded technology access and training; • full range of adult programming. Kirk added that with the agreement the board will move ahead with its strategic planning process later this year. “We will be able to consult with community members from both municipalities to help us determine the future direction, goals and plans for our library,” she said. “Already recognized as one of the best used libraries in the province, an updated strategic plan coupled with a long term funding partnership will enhance the library experience for everyone.” Kirk thanked both councils for their support of “our well-loved community library” and for understanding “the importance of library service in our community.”
The Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Shared Use Agreement committees were not dominated by politicians, but by public members. Arnprior Mayor David Reid and McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett were on both committees, but no other council members. The recreation committee also in-
cluded Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur and township recreation director Geoff Patterson and public representatives Ryan Marcellus and Peter Anas. The library committee also included library board chair Susan Kirk, chief librarian Karen Deluca, and public reps Joanne Logan and David Mitchell.
Summer safety promoted by McNab-Braeside JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
McNab-Braeside kicked off the first official day of the summer holidays last Friday with a fun day couple with safety demonstrations at the municipal office. Township firefighters distributed safety information and, above, demonstrated the jaws of life. Cutting their way into a vehicle are firefighters Kevin Murray, Kelly O’Rourke and Graham Cross, as Trevor Murray, far left, explains what is going on to the crowd. Left, Renfrew OPP Const. Darin Chaplin was promoting boat safety and gives a lesson to the Elmore brothers, Zwash and Zeek of Braeside. The event also included bicycle and electricity safety demonstrations, as well as a barbecue. The OPP are continuing to promote bicycle safety with a bike rodeo at Ma-Te-Way Park in Renfrew this Saturday, July 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Have a safe summer, everyone.”

The move was months in the making, and caused some strong feelings on both sides of the issue. June 24 meeting. An atheist council member, Jim Gibson, mayor of Head, Clara and Maria Township, has led the local opposition to the pre-meeting ritual. At the same time the Supreme Court of Canada was preparing for a decision to a case by the City of Saguenay, Que. The court decided in April that it was exclusionary and discriminatory to open council with a prayer. That decision prompted council to seek a legal opinion from county solicitor David A. Stewart.

He wants to observe the transfer of nuclear operations in Chalk River to a private consortium.

McNab-Braeside township staff thought it was pretty straightforward: private company offers software free of charge; township not obliged to keep it; operations run more smoothly. Simple. Not so simple, according to council. They voted down a proposal to install a GPS system on the township’s few snowplow trucks at the June 16 council meeting. It was proposed by the township’s insurer, Frank Cowan, and called SimpliCity Pilot Deployment Program. He offered to install GPS tablets on three vehicles, plus grant three tracking devices and two SimpliCity user licences. Staff said the technology will allow managers to track drivers to ensure efficiencies are uncovered and maintained. It will also allow drivers to tell managers the location of potholes and obstacles such as fallen trees. Best of all, the system would allow the township to review damage claims by providing clear documented information that shows when and where snowplows have been. The almost $8,000 annual system was offered free of charge for three years. After the pilot project period, the system could be re-
turned or the township pay annual fees. Even the City of Pembroke endorsed the system, saying it is “very pleased” “It’s hard to turn down free,” Coun. Mark MacKenzie said. “But SimpliCity is not a good name for this. I used it in my (snowplowing) business and dropped it. We could never make it work. Even techies I have couldn’t figure it out.” Coun. Scott Brum said his employer used it as well, with equal frustration. Then there’s the notion of two or three trucks needing to be tracked. “Bottom line is it’s unreliable,” he said. “We are a small township. We should know where the trucks are at all times.” Treasurer Angela Lochtie recommended the system, reminding council it is a trial program offered free. She added that it could help with liability issues, and in other areas like grass cutting. Mayor Tom Peckett and Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden both suspected hidden costs, and didn’t see the benefit to the township. The township hasn’t had a liability claim in the past five years, largely because most cars are parked in driveways – far from where snowplows are operating. Brum said Arnprior has the system and, “They are regretting it.” All on council voted against it.

Arnprior council approves two Columbarias for Albert Street cemetery Final resting places are never an easy discussion. Yet Arnprior council tackled the subject at its meeting June 22 and decided to commission two columbarias for the Albert Street cemetery. A columbaria is meant strictly for cremated remains. It includes 48 niche AD each - with the possibility of accommodating PROOF up to 96, if couples decide to be placed FORM side-by-side. The project is the first of its kind for
Arnprior. The driving force behind considering columbarias is the fact that the cemetery on Albert Street is at capacity. Requests have been made for space in the cemetery as residents want to be at rest with loved ones or simply just like the location. Public demand is so strong for a spot in Albert Street that more than 30 residents have expressed interest in buying a niche before the
idea was even approved by council. There is plenty of space at Malloch Road Cemetery, but council settled on the compromise of creating a possible plan for a columbaria at Malloch in 2016, because of interest at Albert Street. There is a possibility for two more columbarias to be added to the Albert Street Cemetery, but it will depend on how the first two fare.

EDITORIAL
Lead on, McGraduates Congratulations graduates. It’s not an easy time to be shuttled off into the real world. However, it’s apparent most of you are are a credit to your community and well prepared for the challenges ahead (thanks parents and teachers). There is an undercurrent of negativity about youth in some circles, but the stereotypes, as usual, are for the most part overblown and based on misunderstanding and ignorance. Granted many youth tend to be cynical. But how do you blame them when they so often run up against the hypocrisy ingrained in many aspects of our society, not the least of all our politics. However, for many it is a healthy cynicism, mixed with hope and a desire to do better. Despite the common view of youth closeted and isolated with their video games, today’s young tend to do better in collaborative and team efforts. That should stand them in good stead as they struggle to succeed in a dramatically different
world and workplace of the 21st century. When promoting teamwork, it’s often said there is no ‘I’ in team. But if there is advice to share with graduates, it’s to pay attention to the three I’s. Interested, involved, informed. Be all three when it comes to your community. You are the ones who have the smarts to overcome the mistakes of the past. No matter how cynical you are about politics, it does affect your day-to-day life. There’s a federal election coming up this fall. If you aren’t inclined to get involved in the campaign, at least become informed about the issues and stands of the candidates. The same goes for the provincial and municipal elections when they roll around three years from now. So for now, graduates, bask in the glow of your educational accomplishments. Then get out there and put all those talents to good use in making the world a better place for yourself and your peers.
LETTER
Arnprior stores need to improve their accessibility To the Editor: My wife and I moved to Arnprior in October 2012 from further up the Valley in the hope of finding a more accessible situation for my wife. Our new home has not disappointed; our new community has. I have read over the past weeks and months articles in this paper about efforts to improve the downtown area. A couple of weeks ago there was even an article from the Mayor about improving the downtown core. It doesn’t matter how pretty the store fronts are, how attractive the lamp posts are,
or any of the other ‘eye wash’ improvements that are implemented. Just walk along Madawaska, Elgin or John Streets and count the number of shops and businesses have entrances with one or more steps at the door. When I take my ‘mobility challenged’ wife into town to shop, I have to use a transfer chair to get her into the hair dresser, or many of the other shops in the downtown core. This involves tipping the chair to the rear to set the front wheels on the step, then lift her up, and is very scary for her.

Very few businesses have ramps or sidewalk level doorways for her to use her scooter. C’mon on already. This is 2015! The 21st century! It’s time the community woke up and provided a more accessible environment for those who don’t have the luxury of jumping out of their cars and running into a shop to make a quick purchase. I see quite a few scooters on the sidewalks of Arnprior, and I often wonder if the drivers are shopping or merely

sightseeing. Even the Mall is inaccessible ... without an automatic door opener it’s necessary to wait for another shopper to open and hold the doors to pass through. One of the reasons we chose to settle into our ‘toe tag home’ in Arnprior is the divided 417
highway to Ottawa. And that is good because we will be travelling the 30 minutes to Terry Fox Drive to do the bulk of our shopping until the situation improves here in ‘The Prior’. Alternately, we can drive to Renfrew and shop at Walmart.
When it comes to provision of service, I always vote with my wallet, and when appropriate, my car. Just saying. John H. Heymans Arnprior

Government has tackled Alzheimer issues To the Editor: Re: Opinion/Editorial, Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, June 11. I am pleased to inform your readers that on June 17, Private Members’ Motion 575, on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, was passed unanimously by all Members of the House of Commons. Motion 575 focuses on strengthening preventative measures. It calls for increasing awareness to reduce the stigma associated with dementia, and it aims to share best practices between all jurisdictions, while continuing to work in partnership with relevant stakeholders, including families affected by dementia. I am also pleased to confirm that since our Federal Conservative Government was elected, we have taken a number of measures, including the creation of the Brain Canada Foundation and committed $100M to fund neuroscience research. Donations are matched dollar-for-dollar to advance knowledge and treatment of brain disease and mental disorders. Last year we announced five new research projects through Brain Canada, including one of largest single grants for Alzheimer’s prevention research in Canada. There has been about $1billion in neuroscience research since 2006, with almost 400 research projects investigating dementia this year alone. Since 2006, research investments in dementia increased by over 67 per cent. Recognizing the financial strain that can be placed on families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and related illnesses, (as well as other longer-term illnesses like cancer), our most recent
Federal Budget extended compassionate care benefits from six weeks to six months. Unfortunately, Opposition MPs voted against this measure. In September 2014, Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose announced our intention to work with the Alzheimer Society of Canada to establish a new program called Dementia Friends Canada, which was launched last week. This unique program was originally launched in Japan and the U.K. It will provide education and training to help Canadians learn the facts about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and how it affects the people who live with these diseases. With this knowledge, individuals, communities, and businesses will become more aware of the small things they can do to help make a difference in the quality of life of Canadians with dementia. Our government remains committed to taking strong action that will improve the lives of Canadians living with dementia. But we will do so in a way that respects provincial jurisdiction, and continues to work on the pan-Canadian strategy they have agreed to. As to your opinion/editorial, while I appreciate that ‘election fever’ has infected certain members of the media, it is important we stay focused on addressing the needs of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

September 2008 saw Dave and me moving to Arnprior. Knowing not a soul here and ready to take possession of our new house, we discovered at noon that we could not have the key until 3 p.m. Where to go? A half hour lunch left us with over two hours to fill. The library! We had seen it perched so invitingly on the bank of the river near the bridge. A place to park the car and us, too: comfortable chairs, beautiful scenery from big windows, lots of reading material and people who welcomed us warmly. Too perfect? Yup, the power went off. I remember no other details of the wait, but the library remained our go-to spot for information as we got to know our new town. New resident

PAID ADVERTISEMENT As the Editorial opinion column by Derek Dunn and people like John Smith and Valerie S Baker try to convince you not to vote conservative, think of this. TheTories under Stephen Harper reduced the GST from 7% to 5%. They lowered the lowest rate of income tax from 16% to 15% and increased the basic personal exemption by nearly 30%. They permit parents to write off their kids sports and art lessons, as well as part of their child care, whether in formal day-care, day homes or with friends and family members. There are credits for tradesmen’s tools, for transit passes, text books and buying a first home. Scholarships are tax-free. Shoppers who go south of the border can now bring back $800.00 instead of $200.00 tax-free goods. Family caregivers now have a much bigger write-off. There are tax-free savings accounts that didn’t exist before the Harper government. The limits on Registered Education Plans have been greatly increased. The Tories introduced a Registered Disability Savings Plan in 2008 and have for the past five years permitted truck drivers to write off 80% of the cost of their meals while on the road. And now the Tories are introducing income splitting which despite the hue and cry from the Liberals and NDP and their media cheer leaders, will have a much greater impact on two-income, middle-class families than any other group. (this information was taken from a column by Lorne Gunter in the Ottawa Sun on Wednesday May 6, 2015). Educate yourselves people and for all our sakes, please vote a Conservative Majority so we can stay on course, think of your kids and grandkids future!!

How to keep your pets safe this summer Summer can be especially dangerous for our pets. Most of us assume that dogs are natural born swimmers when in fact, just like with humans, some dogs need to be taught to swim, some hate the water and some cannot and will not swim at all. For those dogs that love the water, there are still other dangers out there like choppy water or seaweed, An older dog tires quicker or the water temperature may be too cold, which could stress your dog.
Boating can present problems as well. Dogs that have been thrown overboard may drown while frantically attempting to get back to the boat or get caught up in the propeller. All dogs on a boat should wear an approved life jacket equipped with a handle so in the event they end up in the drink they can float until rescued and can easily be plucked from the water. The life jacket will also serve as a marker so other boaters will see your pet
in the water. Most outdoor dogs that need their thick coats to keep them warm throughout the winter months find themselves now being shaved down for the summer. This can present other problems since they are now susceptible to bug bites, sunburn and heat stroke. Skin So Soft from Avon works well for mosquitoes and OMBRELLE sunscreen for Kids with an SPF of 30 helps protect them from long periods of exposure to the sun.
Light color coats or shorthaired pets are most at risk. Exercise your pet in the early morning or late afternoon. To reduce bug bites keep your pet indoors at dawn and dusk and to protect them against heat stroke keep them out of the sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is at its peak If you do intend to keep your pet outdoors, make sure that they have a shady place to cool off in and plenty of fresh water. Remember that on a hot summer day even a shady spot can easily reach well over

If you have any concerns regarding this cost please contact : The Emergency Health Services Branch at 1-800-461-6431.
OPP nab impaired, ‘stunt’ drivers in enforcement blitz on White Lake Road and officers stopped it north of the Highway. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol test. After further breath tests at the detachment, a 54-year-old McNab-Braeside man was charged with driving over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on July 22.
With warmer weather, pet owners are encouraged to leave their pets at home. Parked cars quickly reach deadly temperatures for animals as they don’t have the same ability to deal with rising temperatures that humans can withstand, say police. Citizens who spot a dog or animal in a hot parked car are encouraged to report the licence plate and description of the vehicle to the store so an announcement can be made inside to shoppers. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) has also set up a hotline to report animals in hot cars. Call 310-SPCA or 310-7722 anywhere in Ontario. For more information go to www. nohotpets.ca. If the animal appears to be in distress, call the SPCA at 3107722 or the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Renfrew-Arnprior OPP report that the 215 calls they received last week, included animals left in hot vehicles, as well as family disputes and traffic complaints.

Fishing checks result in 41 charges Most anglers checked during a joint one-day fisheries enforcement blitz on the Ottawa River were in compliance with Ontario and Quebec fishing regulations, report conservation officers. It marks the second straight blitz in which most anglers were fund to behaving themselves. Officials from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Quebec’s Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks, and the National Capital Commission conducted the joint fisheries enforcement blitz on the Ottawa River on June 13. Officers patrolled the river between Temiskaming and Montreal. They were paying special attention to licensing requirements, size restrictions for certain species of fish, and boating safety. The officers checked 450 individuals during the blitz. They laid 41 charges and issued 42 warnings for offences including fishing without

With schools out and summer traffic heavier on area roads, the Renfrew OPP are stepping up their traffic enforcement. In a news release this week, the Renfrew-Arnprior OPP said they are focusing their attention on drivers who are speeding, not wearing seatbelts, impaired by drugs or alcohol, and driving while using handheld devices and distracted. The strict enforcement began June 26 and will run through this week as motorists become accustomed to heavier traffic. “Choosing to ignore those rules is resulting in the majority of deaths on Ontario roads,” warn OPP. “Slow down, buckle up, drive sober and put the phone and other distractions down. Concentrate on the important task at hand - driving.” The extra enforcement has already nabbed two drivers in the Arnprior area. On June 27 at noon, an officer was patrolling on Highway 17 near Scheel Drive west of Arnprior when a vehicle was observed on radar travelling at 148 km/hr in a posted 90 km/hr zone. The car was stopped and the driver was charged, and his licence seized for seven days. As well the vehicle was impounded for seven days. A 44-year-old Toronto man was issued a summons to appear in traffic court in Renfrew on Aug. 21, charged with Stunt Driving and travelling at excessive speed contrary. On the same day about two hours later, a citizen reported a possible impaired driver on Highway 17 heading westbound towards Arnprior. The suspect vehicle exited the highway

Wild animals crave salt too When in the water, Moose devour aquatic plants for hours on end, storing large quantities of sodium in the first chamber of their stomach, the rumen. The resulting stockpile will last them for the rest of the year. Deer too
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way animals demonstrate a seasonal change in diet. Moose, for example, visit beaver ponds and shallow bays of lakes in summer. While they might escape biting flies and cool off in the water, the real reason they go there is to find sodium. Many aquatic plants contain hundreds of times more sodium than plants growing in the woods, so it is by eating them that Moose acquire much of that mineral.
Recently I was looking for dragonflies at Basin Lake in Algonquin Park. When I reached the water I noticed a White-tailed Deer standing near the opposite shore. At first I thought it was drinking, but then I saw that it was munching the leaves floating on the water’s surface. It was getting sodium just like Moose do! I spent half an hour watching the deer. It was distant, but through my binoculars I could discern leaves of Water-shield dangling from its mouth. That plant is a favourite of Moose for it is particularly rich in sodium. Unlike Moose,

In summer Moose spend a lot of time in ponds and lakes devouring Water-shield and other plants rich in sodium. however, the young buck did not wade into deep water, and I never saw it submerge its head as its larger cousins commonly do. The deer was moving along the shore when something terribly funny happened. It stepped on a submerged stick, which came thrusting up out of the water. The animal nearly jumped out of its hide and for a full
minute with raised head it stared at the surprise intruder. Finally it cautiously moved around it, keeping a suspicious eye on the stick all the while. It eventually started eating again, occasionally glancing back at the stick. Later it must have stepped on something else submerged for this time it leapt clear out of the water and vanished into
the woods. Beavers also devour Water-shield and I once watched a Porcupine eat that plant’s leaves in shallow water. With its popularity I guess that makes Water-shield the wild’s equivalent of Miss Vickie’s chips! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca. R0013357137.0702
It is a fact that we humans love salt. That is why supermarkets house long rows of potato chips, peanuts and other salty snacks. The desire to consume salt is based on our body’s need for sodium, a component of salt (sodium chloride). Sodium is essential for cellular function and thus we crave it. However, our bodies need only about 2,300 mg per day, but because of the prevalence of sodium in food, especially preserved items, most of us consume nearly quadruple that amount, around 8,500 grams per day. We are not alone in craving salt. All animals require sodium and many, especially those living in the ocean, have no problem finding it. But that is not the always the case, especially for terrestrial animals. As the availability of certain foods changes through the year, sodium can be in low supply. Because of this, some

The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club will be holding the 14th annual Manion Corners Butterfly Count this Saturday, July 4. Similar to Christmas Bird Counts, the event is an allday survey of a 24-km diameter circle. Although the count is facilitated by the Ottawa club, the count area is centred on Manion Corners (southwest of Ottawa) and includes several important butterfly areas such as the Long Swamp and the Burnt Lands alvar. Burnt Lands Alvar is home to Burnt Lands Alvar Provincial Park and the alvar itself, straddling Mississippi Mills and West Carleton, is a designated Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). Recent attention was focused on the alvar with guided walks this spring focused primarily on habitat and the unique and rare plant species. The butterfly count will give participants a chance to see the rich butterfly fauna of the ANSI. Jeff Skevington and Peter Hall are the coordinators for the count. Hall is one of the authors of The Butterflies of Canada, which is the standard ‘go-to’ guide book on
Canadian butterflies. If you wish to participate in the count, meet at the parking lot at the intersection of Dwyer Hill Road and March Road at 8:30 a.m. This is a ‘child-friendly’ event and is a great opportunity to introduce children to the interesting world of butterflies. The count goes all day until 4:30 p.m. and is followed by a meeting, at 6 p.m. for a compilation and pot-luck dinner. There is a $4 charge to participants, to support the publication of the count results. No experience is necessary – the organizers will put teams together Saturday morning and match up people so that everyone has a chance to learn from the experts. If you have binoculars and a butterfly net, bring them along. Butterflies may be captured for identification and release. Rubber boots are recommended, as some of the sites have a lot of poison ivy, especially in the Burnt Lands. The rain date for this event will be Sunday, July 5 at 8:30 a.m. Call Jeff Skevington Friday evening at 613720-2862 if there is any doubt about the weather or for specific questions regarding the event.

Fun for the young at the museum Charlie Flowers, a young volunteer with the Arnprior and District Museum, oversees his own program. Fellow helper Hillary Griese explained that once a month a group of children have been coming together to create crafts out of recyclable materials. The May 15 outing saw the youngsters create teepees. The program is free for all ages, but focuses on those from 7- to 12–years-old. The program will resume for one hour on this Saturday, June 13 at 12:30 p.m. with the plan on making boats out of milk cartons. Taking part on May 15, at top from left, are Tristan Bettencourt, Cameron McGregor, J’adace Mann, Owen Parkhurst, Ciara L’Abbé and Ethan Lavictoire; in the middle Ian Sully, Lillian Sears, Sabrina Sears, Sam Lavictoire, Kira Desarmia, and Kira Sully; and at bottom Charlie Flowers, Alysha Johnston, Lilly Dejardin and Liam Flaherty. The museum is also gearing up for its summer program for students ages 6 to 10. The camp will run July and August on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 12:30-3:30 p.m., starting July 6. For more information contact the museum at 613-623- 4902 or museumstudent@arnprior.ca.

Shred-it Day fundraiser to be a first for area Liz Wall
Seniors at Home
Seniors at Home is holding a unique fundraiser on Saturday, July 25. It will be Shred-it Day in Arnprior. It’s a chance for each individual, household and businesses to get rid of valuable, but no longer required papers, including files of all kinds. Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home (ABMSH) is looking for support from the entire community to make this event a success. All monies raised go directly to support the 23 various programs offered by ABMSH. Shred-it Day will take place in ABMSH’s parking lot at 106 McGonigal St. West, in Arnprior from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The actual shredding will be taken care of by Shred-it Ottawa, which will be providing two
trucks, one shredder and one for transportation of shredded paper to their Ottawa location for recycling. Since 1988 Shred-it has specialized in providing a tailored document destruction service and making sure all information is kept secure at all times. “We can’t stress enough the point to the public that this fundraiser will be 100 per cent secure,” said ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington. “Making sure it’s secure” is the trademark of Shred-it Ottawa. The cost to shred your no longer required paper files is $8 per Banker Box, limited to a maximum of five boxes per business or household. What is a banker box? A banker box is a commonly used box to file away papers within an office. Measurements of such a box are 10 inches high x 12 inches wide
x 15 inches deep. Please, if you don’t have an actual ‘banker’ box, ABMSH will accept any box similar in size and if you wish, two grocery bags full will fit the description. How long are you required to keep tax records? The Internal Revenue has three years in which to audit federal Income Tax returns. However, this limit does not apply in unusual cases. If you failed to report more than 25 per cent of your gross income then the government has six years to collect. You can lighten your record load by discarding certain cheques and bills once they have served their purpose. Example, you can discard weekly or monthly salary records, information provided by Canadian Government website. Do I need to sort the paper? Not at all. All you need to do is put the docu-
ments into the box. You don’t have to worry about removing anything else, not even paper clips, staples or binder clips. Why shred? Shredding confidential information to protect personal information and sensitive corporate data makes solid business sense, especially when you consider the increasing financial cost of a security breach, not to mention the significant reputation damage that follows. Statistics show it can take as long as a year to recover from a security breach. If you are not able to attend July 25, give us a call and we can make proper arrangements to have your items delivered to the shredder during the event. If you need assistance, or require transportation the day of Shred-it, call 613623-7981 to reserve a spot. Deadline to book transportation is Friday, July 24 by noon.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal candiate Jeff Lehoux says his party is offering Canadians “real change.” Lehoux made the comments in a press release issued in conjunction with the unveiling by party leader Justin Trudeau of the Liberals plan to establish “openness and transparency” in government. “After a decade of Stephen Harper, Canadians’ faith in government has never been lower,” said Lehoux. “People in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke know that Ottawa is broken, and we need a government that trusts Canadians. That is why Liberals have a sweeping agenda to change how the federal government works.” He said the Liberal plan will implement measures that include making evidence-based

Janice Sherrer and Albert Miller of Arnprior are one step closer to claiming their lottery win of $100,000 from the Lotto 649 super draw on March 21. As Sherrer is an employee at an OLG retail location, the prize falls within OLG’s definition of an insider win. The prize claim has completed the first step of a two-step Insider Wins process, which is an independent prize claim review by a third-party, working in partnership with OLG’s regulator, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). To complete the prize claims process, the prize will be held for a 30day waiting period as part of OLG’s Insider Wins process, in order for OLG to publicize the win. If there are no additional claims on the prize, it will be paid to the claimants on Thursday, July 23 based on the 30-day wait period. The ticket was bought at John’s Variety on John Street in Arnprior. Sherrer is an employee at an OLG retail location, but she bought her ticket at a different retailer. It’s the second major lottery win for Arnprior residents, as William Lightbody and Theresa Charron won a $2,000-a-week Cash for Life lottery prize last week.

Fun for all ages (and dogs too) at Riverfest Clockwise from top left, participants gather for a group shot prior to launching from Sand Point wharf for a group paddle on the Ottawa River to Norway Bay on the Quebec side, then to the Red Pine Bay for Riverfest celebrations in Braeside. Paul and Lane Lawson watch the dog dock diving show at the sixth annual Riverfest Festival at the Braeside beach Saturday morning while a little boy catches minnows from the dock. Left, Todd Spurrell with German short-haired pointer Hoyt and Mary Spurrell with border collie Rev are ready for the Dog Agility/Dock Diving competition at the Riverfest Festival Saturday in Braeside. Among the other participants were Julie Charron with Skylar, Gina Wedderburn with Kilt, Melanie Wilson with Shilo and Fran Chaput with Cooper. The competition was presented by the Spurrels of Avalon ranch. Riverfest was the second of three major McNab Days events, following the Scottish Festival and ahead of Braeside’s Canada Day festivities.

Top, students play air hockey at the St. John XXIII Mayfest. Above, others try their hand at plinko, a game likely made popular by the television game show,The Price is Right.
Mayfest a money-maker at St. John XXIII St. John XXIII’s Mayfest continues to be one of the Arnprior school’s biggest fundraisers of the year. The school council put on the popular event May 21. “It’s the community aspect,” said principal Heidi Fraser. “It is fun times for families and (a chance for them) to be together.” Fraser has been involved with Mayfest for five years and in the past the event raised an
average of $4,000. “The funds raised tend to go towards things like school trips or classroom needs,” she explained.\ There was plenty to take in for parents and children, such as raffles, a barbecue and silent auctions - including the always busy bidding on cakes. There were also games from the toilet paper toss to guess the number of gumballs.

Arnprior gearing up for dragon boat festival on July 25
The Town of Arnprior is preparing to welcome everyone Saturday, July 25 to join in and help them celebrate the Community Challenge Dragon Boat Festival. A fierce and thrilling event, the festival promises to be a “fantastic community adventure,” say organizers. They are inviting everyone to spend the day at Robert Simpson Park “by the majestic Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers enjoying great food, soaking in the sun, and cheering for your local Dragon Boat team. Watch the races unfold before your eyes.” The event will transform the scenic Arnprior waterfront into an action-packed racing venue. “Feel the excitement radiate off the water as paddlers go head to head for the win, or maybe,
just to finish,” say organizers. “With several great vantage points along the two rivers, it’s as thrilling to watch as it is to participate in.” Dragon boat racing is among the fastest growing activities in the world. Whether you’re in it to win it, or in it for fun, Arnprior’s Community Challenge Dragon Boat Festival is an open event and welcomes paddlers of all levels from novice to experienced. “Grab your team and get out on the water.” Not a paddler? No problem. The festival is open to everyone. With lots of things to see and do, “you’ll be drawn in by the excitement and the fun of the day itself.” Google Arnprior Community Dragon Boat Challenge for more details.

613-259-2398 oror 1-800-239-4695 613-259-2398 1-800-239-4695 FIRE SERVICES On April 16, 2015, as part of Council’s 2015 budget process, the CAO/Clerk recommended that Council consider initiating an operational review of all Township services to ensure long term sustainability and affordability of municipal operations. As such, Council is considering a review of the Lanark Highlands Fire Department’s administration, organization and operations. Please note that the Township’s staff will be seeking the support and advice from the Office of the Fire Marshall. Further, Council has chosen not to renew the current Fire Chief’s contract which expires at the end of June. In the interim in accordance with the Township’s Bylaw Number 2011-1144 to establish and regulate a Fire Department, the Deputy Fire Chief(s) will act on behalf of the Fire Chief for the municipality. In this role, the Deputy Chief(s) will be reporting directly to and working with the assistance, support and coordination of CAO/Clerk Matt Craig. I would like to reassure the residents that I am confident in our volunteer fire fighters and that this action will have no negative impact on the current capabilities and delivery of our emergency services. Council will continue to work collaboratively with the fire services and the residents of the municipality as partners to ensure public safety and the protection of our communities from the risk of fire. Residents of Lanark Highlands can be assured that any decisions will be in the best interests of the residents and ratepayers and with due consideration to the Township’s obligations to provide efficient and effective fire protection services. At this time, Council would like to thank Fire Chief Rod Black for his services to this Township during the past 2 1/2 years. Please contact the CAO/Clerk, Matt Craig at mcraig@lanarkhighlands.ca with any inquiries related to this matter. Mayor, Brian Stewart 22 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 2, 2015

The hundreds of cyclists who came to Arnprior last summer for a major cross-country race liked it so much most of them and more are coming back. The Champlain’s Folly Cyclo de Sportif is back in Arnprior for a third year after a successful debut in 2013 and follow-up last year. This year’s race, based at Robert Simpson Park, will be held on Sunday, July 12. The race through the scenic back roads around Arnprior is growing, offering four routes and five choices of ride distances, presenting a challenge for cyclists of every level. New this year is a fourth route, ‘The Dirty 130’, a 130-kilometre alternative to tarmack road surfaces, designed for the hardened gravel rider. Other routes include ‘The Road to China (130/160-km),

‘L’Astrolabe (85-km) and Azure (32-km). More than 500 cyclists are expected to take part in the races that begin about 9 a.m. at Robert Simpson Park, where they also end. Organizers call the routes ‘Ottawa Valley’s most secenic roadways’. The race routes are fully signed routes to help cyclists stay on track. On routes 85 kilometres and longer, there will be refreshment stations every 30 kilometres where volunteers will be offering water, energy drinks, snacks, and mechanical and medical assistance if needed. After the race, all routes will be swept to ensure no cyclist is left out on the course. A meal will be provided all participants after the race. The event is a fundraiser for the Ottawa Velodrome Project, a campaign to build an indoor velodrome in the city.

ADHS class of 2015 jumps into an exciting future Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
“Hope when you take that jump, you don’t fear the fall …” From what is likely the graduating song for many classes of 2015 - I Lived by One Republic. Red Velvet performed their take on the tune during Arnprior District High School’s graduation ceremony on June 25. More than 130 students filled into the packed gymnasium, ready to take that jump into the next chapter after high school. There were future nurses, a police officer, business workers, an army recruit, a millwright, a plumber, a neurosurgeon and a journalist and some still trying to figure it out. All of them and plenty more crossed the stage to accept their diplomas and certificates. “At ADHS, you know everyone and everyone knows you,” said principal Neil Farmer, on what some of the grads told him about high school. “School’s coming to an end, but the world in front of you is just beginning.” Adam Hrkach sang a medley he composed on his own called ‘Growing up’. There were 80 local donors for the scholarships and awards, some
of them have been given out to students for 50 years. This took up a large portion of the ceremony. The Governor General’s academic medal for the class’s top academic student went to Evan Schriver and the Lieutenant Governor’s community volunteer award was given to Keisha Clark. Renfrew County District School Board medallions were awarded to Hannah Blair, Jenna Carruthers, Michael Clarke, Kayla Dunlop, Blair Huycke, James Neumann, Kenny Patel, Carson Payeur, Isaac Perreault, Evan Schriver, Sarah Sellers and Brayden Sparling. Timothy Rath won the technical medallion. The Ontario Scholars were given to graduates who attain an average of 80 per cent or greater in her/his six best Grade 12 courses. They went to Candace Albanese, Alyssa Barrie, Lydia Bastien, Avery Bentz, Hannah Blair, Kelsey Brown, Jenna Carruthers, Michael Clarke, Yuetong Dong, Steven D’Souza, Kelsey Hill, Conor Hogan, Blair Huycke, Jocelyne Jones, Travis Laughlin, Kaitlyn Neill, James Neumann, Kenny Patel, Isaac Perreault, Kyle Rath, John Russell, Emily Schnob, Evan Schriver, Emma Shoveller, Anne-Marie St. Michal and Lauren Trick. What was meant as a surprise for
many was the valedictorian. Principal Farmer joked his reveal was spoiled by Phil Moore who conducted the ceremony. The valedictorian was Isaac Perreault. He was credited for his leadership, character, and athletics and maybe for tickling the ivories of the piano. “This school has been a second home to each and every one of us over these four years,” said Perreault. “I have to admit that ADHS was a little bit intimidating at first.” He highlighted his first memories of coming to high school in Grade 9 and the important year it was. He talked of moving into Grade 10 and the craziness of Grade 11 from the figuring out what to do with their life, homework, studying, athletics, some working and trying to have a social life through all of it. “It’s enough to make a person crazy, but we all made I through in one piece, so I guess it couldn’t be that bad.” “Grade 12 was a year filled with laughter, fun, sometimes tears and a lot of euchre in the cafeteria … the future presents a greater opportunity … I have no idea where the time has gone, but what I do know is that I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I am honoured to have shared these last four years with each and every one of you.”

After Tommy had made several slow and calculated sweeps, I would see little pinheads of blood appear. And every time that happened, Tommy would lean into the mirror and look as if he had never laid eyes on his own face before in his life. I was so fascinated I wouldn’t have moved from the spot if the house caught on fire.

But one day Father could stand it no longer. There stood Tommy in front of the mirror after a particularly torturous morning of lacerations with these dabs of newspaper stuck all over his face. Father rose from his breakfast, went to Tommy, took the razor from his hands, rinsed it off, and began slapping it up and down on the strap. I thought he was going to take it from its moorings. He handed it back to Tommy and said, “now let’s hope that’s the last of the wounding. I guess you’ll have to use the strap instead of the whit stone. Can’t have you bleeding to death every morning.” It was the end of my fascination with Tommy and his daily shaves. And it was the start of a new relationship between him and my Father. After all, now they shared a razor strap!

I liked to stand beside Tommy in the mornings and watch this ritual of his shaving beside Father. There was never a word spoken between the two men. This was serious business ... this morning shave ... no time for frivolities. Father would be done in jig time. He would give his razor a dozen or more swipes on his strap, and then he would get down to the serious business at hand. Tommy on the other hand, after lathering his face with the homemade bar of soap, and not having had the benefit of the strap, would take much longer. I would stand there entranced as Tommy dragged the dull razor over his cheeks. It seemed to take forever to complete one sweep, and I silently wondered if men shaved differently because they came from England. Father would finish, swish off his razor in the basin of hot water, dry it on the huck roller towel, fold it in two, place it carefully in its felt lined box, and set it on the window sill where it stayed until the next morning.

He had a thin, dark skinned, leathery kind of face, and I guess had he allowed it to grow would have had a black beard to match his jet hair. But all the time Tommy lived with us, he was clean-shaven and meticulous about his appearance ... which was the only reason he was allowed to have that first meal at our kitchen table when he wandered in off the tracks. Mother would not tolerate anything but the cleanest of hands, and a face free from whiskers. Every morning, Tommy would take his place beside Father at the washbasin on the bench beside the back door. A small wood framed mirror hung rakishly from a nail, and Father’s razor strap was right beside it. Tommy and Father shared the basin of hot water and the mirror, but for Father that is where his hospitality ended. No one was allowed to use his razor strap ... not even Tommy Rohr. And so poor Tommy would use a whit stone to sharpen his black handled razor about once a week. But alas, the whit stone did little to keep the blade keen enough for a clean shave.

And every time he sprung a leak (as my brother Emerson took to calling his razor nicks), Tommy would stop shaving, tear a smidgen of newspaper off a page he had at the ready, and carefully place it over the wound. By the time he was finished shaving, his face looked like lace tablecloth, with all these little pieces of paper stuck to his cheeks. All the time he would be cursing the razor. By that time Father would be settled in at the head of the table digging into his fried potatoes and salt pork. And every time he saw Tommy take another piece out of his face, Father would wince and screw up his face as he himself had been inflicted. Well, this went on for ages after Tommy had become part of our household. And finally Father made a gesture that was completely against his principles. He thought a man’s razor strap was as personal as his long underwear. No one touched it but the man to whom it belonged.

Tommy Rohr was that wonderful farm hand who wandered in off the tracks one day. He was a home boy from England, and begging for a job. He said he would work for nothing more than a bed to sleep on and three meals a day. He ended up with a couch in one corner of the back kitchen, his belongings neatly packed underneath, and with a guarantee of a flat fifty of Player’s cigarettes from Briscoe’s General Store every week as payment for his labours. It was a long time before Father was able to afford to offer him a few dollars a month. But Tommy Rohr seemed pleased with the arrangement. As he often said, he didn’t need much else.

Meeting the Needs of our Aging Community
M
aking investments in seniors programs to allow them to stay safe at home is the right thing to do. We also want to support their caregivers. At Arnprior Regional Health (ARH), both the Adult Day Program (ADP) and the Assisted Living Services Program provide care to seniors while allowing them to retain their independence. These supports also help prevent early admission to a long-term care facility or admission to a hospital. This past year, the Adult Day Program received additional funding allowing us to increase staffing, the number of days the program is offered, and the number of clients. With four full days of operation, the Adult Day Program is open to members of the community over the age of 65 including those who have Alzheimer’s or dementia. “These are the type of investments that are transforming the health system and improving the lives of individuals and families. The Champlain LHIN is working closely with our partners to expand programs and put in place new initiatives. This work is well aligned to our key strategy of building a strong foundation of primary, home and community care,” explains Chantale LeClerc, CEO, Champlain LHIN. One of the Adult Day Program’s greatest benefits is the respite it offers to caregivers. Diane became a client of the Adult Day Program when her challenges with Parkinson’s and dementia became overwhelming for her husband Ben. He says he is extremely grateful for the program: “Without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the ADP, I wouldn’t be able to function or go on. This program allows us to continue living together in our home, and that is the greatest gift we could ask for.” In February 2015, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held, signifying the grand opening of a dedicated entrance for attendees of the Adult Day Program. Funded entirely by Partners in Caring, this new ramp is completely accessible and barrier free. The grand opening of the new ramp with John Tammadge, Partners in Caring, Norma and Les Goddard, Jay Johnston, ARH Board of Directors, Tracey McCormick, ADP Manager, and Becky Hollingsworth, ARH Board of Directors.

Health Links
J
ohn Smith is 75 years old and lives near Arnprior. He has heart and hypertension issues as well as diabetes. In the past year, John has visited the emergency department five times, resulting in three admissions to the hospital. He has had surgery to replace a cardiac valve and consultations with six different specialists. More than 2,130 patients in the Arnprior/ Kanata/Stittsville area have complex health care needs like John. Arnprior Regional Health is proud to be co-leading a new health care collaboration that is planning to make a difference for these most vulnerable patients in our region. ARH and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre are co-leading the Arnprior Region and Ottawa West (AROW) Health Link. We are partnering with more than 20 local organizations to support patients with multiple complex needs. AROW will connect patients, caregivers, family doctors, specialists, hospitals, home care, and community support agencies. We are coordinating our efforts around patient goals and experience of care. We want to wrap the care team around complex patients to ensure they are receiving the care and support they need in the appropriate place. The result will be better, more coordinated care to improve each patient’s health care journey. During the 12 month pilot AROW will work with a select set group of patients to develop a process that can be adapted to help improve the experience and outcomes for future complex patients. AROW is one of 10 Health Links in our region, supported by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Medication Safety Enhancements
Facility Renewal Plan
new Facility Renewal Plan is in place to address the aging infrastructure of the hospital and the Primary Health Care Centre. The plan is based on recommendations from an engineering firm and will take about five years to complete, at a cost of more than five million dollars.
A
RH worked with seven other hospitals in the region to secure funding for improvements to our hospital pharmacy and medication delivery. Traditionally patient drugs are delivered from the pharmacy to medication cabinets on each floor. The nurse then needs to count out correct dosages and add the information to each patient’s chart. We’ve automated this process with Pac Med. This unit dose system houses all of the required drugs and medications and is located on the inpatient floor. Pre-packaged patient medication is sealed and labeled. Nurses simply use a secure touch screen to select their patient and the required medication is provided. Pac Med improves accuracy and patient safety, reduces medication prep time and drug waste, and eliminates re-ordering of most regularly administrated medications. “It’s important for our patients to know we’re progressive in ensuring we provide the best and safest care possible,” said Leah Levesque, Vice President of Patient and Resident Services. Along with the improvements to patient safety, the newly renovated pharmacy space helps ARH meet the new Ontario College of Pharmacist standards and address modern building standards including the creation of a new sterile preparation room. MaryAnn Christman stocking one of the new medication carts for the inpatient unit.

Our buildings are close to 50 years old and many of the items supporting our infrastructure (such as boilers, HVAC, electrical systems and roofs) are dated and require replacement or improvement. In fact, much of our equipment is functioning 5 to 10 years beyond its original recommended useful life. The equipment has lasted this long due to the excellent preventative maintenance by our skilled maintenance department. However, it is unreasonable and impractical to believe that some things will last another 20 to 30 years. This past year, we kick-started the Facility Renewal Plan with several initiatives. We have updated some of our electrical infrastructure to meet demands for the near future. Several exit doors were equipped with exit panic hardware to provide enhanced safety and exit signage was replaced. Funding for these initiatives was provided through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) from the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care. The ARH Board of Directors and Senior Management are committed to continuing to provide a safe and comfortable environment for everyone who spends time in our facilities. We are actively pursuing funding from the Ministry and looking for other potential revenue sources such as increases to parking rates later this year.
Giving Back to the Community
O
ur staff are community members too and we want to give back. We’ve supported community initiatives through participation in the Heart & Stroke Big Bike, the United Way Bus Pull, and the Santa Claus Parade. Both ADMH and the Grove also provide ongoing support to the Arnprior Food Bank. At the hospital, a silent auction of more than 20 gift baskets raised $1521. These funds were matched by Reid Brothers. The Grove staff held a food and toiletries drive where staff, residents and families packed over 20 boxes of donations. Thank you to all of our staff for your generosity!

What’s On Your Fork?
A
RH is leading the way in the Champlain Healthy Foods in Hospital Program. We were the first of 18 hospitals to reach the Bronze designation– a full year ahead of the target date. The Healthy Foods initiative is about creating a supportive, healthy food environment for staff, physicians, visitors, patients and volunteers. This means working to ensure that the healthy choice is the easy choice by providing better food options in our hospital retail settings – this includes the cafeteria, vending machines and the gift shop.
Providing healthy food choices in the workplace supports employee health and well-being, which in turn, supports employees in their ability to deliver the best possible patient care. The Healthy Foods initiative complements other wellness initiatives that are already in place.
“It’s also about supporting the health and well-being of our employees. Providing healthy food choices, “The Healthy Foods in Hospitals and reducing unhealthy food initiative will go a long way to choices, is an important way helping a very large number of to reduce chronic disease risk factors,” explains ARH people stay healthy and avoid Manager of Food Services disease and the Champlain Christina Carnegie.
LHIN is pleased to support its implementation. Congratulations to the team at Arnprior Regional Health for its commitment to improving the health of our community.”
The key changes undertaken to achieve the Bronze designation included: Chantale LeClerc, increasing availability of CEO Champlain LHIN vegetables, fruits, and whole grain bread products; providing calorie and sodium information for soups and entrees; avoiding deep fried foods; reducing the variety of sugary treats; reducing sodium in soups; and decreasing portion sizes of high-calorie beverages.
Achieving Bronze is the first goal. Moving forward, ARH is committed to working towards Silver level designation, which includes further enhancements to our retail food settings.
“Reaching Bronze designation is a significant accomplishment – one that requires leadership and collaboration across a variety of stakeholders. We extend our sincere congratulations to Arnprior on being the first hospital in our region to reach this important milestone.” – Cholly Boland, Co-chair, Healthy Foods in Hospitals Leadership Task Force
Celebrating 40 Years at The Opportunity Shop
T
he Arnprior Regional Health Auxiliary (ARHA) celebrated the 40th birthday of The Opportunity Shop with the Spirit of 69, a BBQ and, of course, birthday cake.
Photo credit: The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide.
This long time Arnprior institution is one of the busiest stores in the downtown core. Located beside the movie theatre, it’s where community members donate clothing, items and trinkets they can no longer use. The Shop is completely volunteer run, and the volunteers sort and price hundreds of donations each month. In addition to The Opportunity Shop, ARHA members run the gift shop in the hospital and sell HELPP lottery tickets at Giant Tiger. The funds raised this past year went toward the purchase of: new bedside curtains, a colonoscope, a McKesson Horizon Medical Imaging Edge Server, an Infection Control fridge, hospital beds, a heater proofer and IT equipment. Thank you!
Supporting Our Patients Every Step of the Way
R
eceiving treatment in hospital is never easy. At Arnprior Regional Health, we pride ourselves on making the experience as simple as possible. In fact, we’ve put several initiatives in place to support our patients – and we measure the results. As soon as a patient arrives, we start to plan for a smooth transition home. We want to be sure that patients have all the information they need. Over the last three years, we’ve implemented processes to ensure that patients have written instructions regarding when to resume normal activities and what follow up appointments and tests are required. A follow up appointment with their family doctor is scheduled in advance of going home. Discharged patients are called within 24 to 72 hours so we can check in, remind them about their follow-up appointment and address any concerns. Patients with questions can be connected with the right health care provider.
44 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 2, 2015
Another important way we ensure quality care is to ask our patients about their hospital stay. The results are encouraging. More than 77% of our patients tell us they had written information. More than 95% said they knew who to call when they had a question. And 90% confirm that they had follow up appointments booked before they left the hospital. All of these results are higher than the average provincial score. Another quality measure that we monitor is readmission rates. These rates tells us how often patients are returning to the hospital after they have been discharged due to a change in condition. ARH ranks in the top 10% of Canadian health care facilities - and is one of only two small hospitals in Canada who have had lower than national average readmission rates over the last three years. It just makes sense. Ensuring that care needs are coordinated before our patients leave
the hospital promotes a smoother transition and alleviates the anxiety that patients and families may have. Receiving a call within a day or two of being discharged gives patients the opportunity to discuss any concerns before they require additional medical interventions. Having a pre-scheduled appointment with their family doctor allows for a timely reassessment to ensure the treatment plan is working. Our patients deserve nothing less. R0013339437
The Future of the Grove Assisted Living Services Program
A
W
s Arnprior’s population continues to grow and age, the redevelopment of the Grove Nursing Home is a priority. Finfty nine beds and one respite bed are just not enough to meet the needs of the community.
hen we envision growing older, we do so with the desire to stay in our own homes on our own terms. The Assisted Living Services Program assists frail or cognitivelyimpaired seniors who do not need 24 hour nursing care and can reside at home with support. The program is tailored to the needs of the client and may include a combination of personal support and homemaking services, security checks or reassurance services, and care coordination on a scheduled and as-needed basis.
Arnprior has fewer beds compared to neighboring towns and the ARH Board is committed to changing that, in partnership with the LHIN.
Carolyn first found out about The Assisted Living Services Program from her dad’s case worker with the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). Carolyn and her three siblings made a pact that they would do everything they could to keep their parents living in their own home with familiar surroundings as long as they could. They had already received support from the Department of Veterans Affairs for housekeeping and lawn care assistance and had CCAC services, but more help was needed. Carolyn’s dad receives four visits per day. “I think this program is wonderful and I really appreciate it. We have a great relationship with all the personal support workers,” Carolyn tells us. “The communication book has become such a valuable tool. The personal support workers will flag anything that they notice and it’s a great guide for me as I am not clinical. This really helps me when I’m reviewing dad’s health with his doctor.” When asked what other benefits the program offers her parents, Carolyn mentions the relationships with the personal support workers. ”They bring life into mom and dad’s home. They will chat with them about current events, sports, and community news. They even asked dad’s thoughts on the last election. This makes them still feel connected to the community and this has become as important as the care they receive.” Carolyn knows at some point her parents may have to move to a long-term care home but right now she and her siblings can grant their parents’ wish to stay in their home. This gives the entire family some peace of mind. So what does the future Grove look like? Ideally and to make financial sense a new building will be constructed with resident home areas of 32 beds. Each wing area would have its own dining room and visiting space. Couples would share rooms and there would be additional private rooms. Ideally we would increase capacity to 96 beds. Redevelopment discussion centres around a new build, a renovation to accommodate senior housing, and continued use of the current building. Our plans may change to further align with the priorities set forth by the provincial Ministry.
Electronic Patient Record On May 26, the clock struck midnight and patient care at ARH was enhanced with the new Meditech PCS system on the inpatient unit. ARH is the first of the CHAMP hospitals to move from paper based documentation to electronic documentation. CHAMP is the Champlain Association of Meditech Partners, a regional collaborative of seven partner hospitals sharing electronic patient records.
Patient Engagement
T
he Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) continues to have an impact on the design and delivery of our clinical programs. The patient voice is a critical component of effective health care. PFAC allows patients to become more involved in the hospital’s care, safety and service improvement initiatives through ongoing communications and input. Along with PFAC, several other strategies for patient and family engagement have been implemented across ARH. Post discharge phone calls, patient surveys, ongoing patient check-ins, and using white boards in patient rooms, have all contributed to an improved patient experience and reductions in readmission rates. “I was very much impressed by Arnprior Regional Health’s commitment to integrating the patient experience into their care process,” said Anthony Dale, President and CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association. “We know that better engagement of patients and their families leads to higher quality care. It is also a government priority, and a key component of the current transformation underway.”
An Increase in Staff Engagement
O
ur vision is to be recognized for exemplary care. When we focus on our staff, we will achieve this vision, ARH has been conducting an annual confidential employee experience survey for the past five years. We want to identify areas where we can improve the staff experience – and, as a result, the experience of the patients, residents and clients we serve. The results have directed us toward a number of important organizational changes to improve overall job satisfaction. This year we were pleased to see that staff rated the following themes higher than in previous years: job, work team, supervisor, organization, health and safety, training and development, patient care, patient safety, and non-clinical support services. Of particular note, 71% of ARH positive responses met or exceeded other healthcare providers in Ontario. R0013339440

Connecting For Better Care: Hospital and Long-Term Care Home Collaboration is Making a Difference
PIC Award
C
aregivers need vital medical information at their fingertips and a new collaboration at Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) is making it possible. The sharing of electronic health records (EHR) between the hospital and The Grove Long-Term Care Home is having a positive impact for both residents and staff. “Long-term care residents are often transferred to acute care for enhanced care, tests or procedures. When they return, caregivers need to know what has happened and what postacute care plans are in place,” explains Eric Hanna, President & CEO. “When everyone has this information, the result is more effective and efficient care.” Since May 2014, designated staff members at The Grove have direct access to the hospital electronic health record. This information includes discharge summaries, laboratory, diagnostic imaging and other assessments and treatment recommendations. In the past, these details were shared through faxed reports or multiple phone calls. “The value is clear, saving time and resources,” notes Brenda Jones, Assistant Director of Care at The Grove. “Even more importantly, our care is more resident-focused as we are able to avoid duplicate tests, increase safety and have better information to share with residents’ families.” ARH is one of eight hospitals in the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals (CAsH). This EHR initiative is one of several Information Technology projects underway. The result is an improved patient experience, better care and cost-effective service delivery. CAsH’s vision is to develop innovative rural health delivery options and to advocate for strengthened rural health. “ARH’s electronic health record initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to a more integrated health system,” sums up Eric Hanna. “We are proud to be working with CAsH to provide more appropriate and coordinated care.”

Grateful Patient Program Our communities tell us they are looking for a meaningful way to thank ARH staff for the exemplary care provided. Partners in Caring was pleased to introduce the Grateful Patient Program this past year. Grateful patients complete a card to identify a staff member, providing details on why they should be recognized. This card is shared with the staff member’s manager and the honour is announced publicly at staff meetings. This reinforces that any staff member, regardless of their role at ARH, can make a difference for a patient and that they are a critical part of our team by living the values and mission of the organization.
Two members of the housekeeping staff were recognized by a grateful patient. R0013339447

Camp Wanago promises summer of adventure Calley Mosley
Summer program assistant
It’s that time again and the staff at Camp Wanago are eagerly anticipating another fun and successful summer. They have a ton of great trips, exciting games and crafts planned for the campers this year. Camp Wanago runs through July and August for children ages 4-12. The Arnprior Recreation Department’s summer day camp has been around for many years and is well known in the community as well as surrounding areas. This year it has brought back many favorite trips like Mont Cascades, Cosmic Adventures, Saunders Farm, and Museum of Civilization, as well as newly added trips such as Funhaven, Experimental Farm and SkyZone! Campers will also be going on some exciting trips within the town of Arnprior, including visits to the Arnprior Bowling Centre, Sweet and Sassy, Dairy Queen and more. They’re looking forward to a summer of full of excitement. Each staff member brings their own unique qualities and ideas to camp to ensure that each and every child is having a great time. The department is happy to welcome back some familiar faces to Camp Wanago this year. It’s pleased to welcome back Maria Pecora in her new role as one of the camp co-coordinator for the summer. Maria has currently been studying in Australia on a University exchange program for the past six months. This coming fall she will be finishing her final year of her bachelor of psychology. The department is also pleased to welcome back Cole Murray who will also be in a new role as the other co-coordinator. Cole recently finished his first year at Nipissing University in North Bay in Concurrent Education. Both Cole and Maria have an energetic and creative attitude, which will be very beneficial
to the Camp Wanago atmosphere this summer. The department is thrilled to have Phil Pilon joining for his second summer as a counsellor. Phil will be graduating from St. Joseph’s High School this June and will be attending Ottawa University in the fall, studying Social Sciences. Phil’s outgoing personality and experience working with children in sports programs in the community makes him a great asset to the Camp Wanago team. The department is also welcoming in two new female counsellors to camp this summer. Janessa Russett has just finished her first year at Acadia University in Nova Scotia. Janessa travelled to the Dominican Republic this past year where she worked with a group of fellow students interacting with local children and assisting with building houses for the community. The department will also be welcoming Patti Dodge as a counsellor. Patti has also just finished her first year of University at Brock University in St. Catherines beginning her Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Studies. Both Janessa and Patti bring an amazing passion for working with children and will be great additions to the Camp Wanago staff. Holly Mahusky will also be joining the Camp Wanago team in her role as the Community Living counsellor. Holly is enrolled in the Dental Hygiene program at Algonquin College. She has lots of experience as she has spent the past five years working with the CADS program at Calabogie Peaks. The department is very happy to have such an amazing group of counsellors at Camp Wanago this summer. The camp staff promises fun games, trips, crafts, theme days and meeting new friends but most importantly a safe and fun environment for all children. If you have any questions or are interested in registering your child, please call or drop by the Nick Smith Centre.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
