Whither go the PCs Yakabuski seeks the party’s interim leadership Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – There is a power struggle over the heart and soul of the Progressive Conservative party and its first manifestation was apparent in the race for interim leader.

Following four straight losses to the Liberals, the now diminished PC caucus was set to pick a temporary leader this week, after Tim Hudak’s resignation takes effect July 1.

Among those vying for the job are two MPPs from the Eastern Ontario: RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke’s John Yakabuski and Lanark-Lennox and Addington’s Randy Hillier.

While both conservatives, Hillier is considered further to the right on many issues. He emerged from a rural landowner activism background to cause friction

with party stalwarts from southern and urban ridings. Yakabuski, also proud of his rural roots, is seen as more of a moderate and less confrontational.

An example of their different visions for the party became apparent last week when Hillier said more decisions should be made by caucus, not the leader. The caucus should elect the party whip rather than have the leader appoint them, for instance, and it should control party spending.

He believes the leadership should ask more frequently for individual party member’s input, too.

As well, he has suggested that the leadership vote be conducted with each party member having a vote instead of leaving it up to delegates chosen from each riding.

Yakabuski, Hillier among MPPs Hospital lawyer says LHINs here to stay seeking interim party leadership Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Continued from front

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Re-elected Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, seen exhorting his supporters during a campaign stop in Arnprior, is in the running for the interim leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party. to confirm their support, if any, but, rather, a chance to “listen to what we could have done better.”

ELLIOTT IN THE RACE

The soul-searching and turmoil in the party is evident in the early announcement by current deputy leader Christine Elliot that she is running for party leadership.

If she wins, Elliott will be considered by many to be the closest thing to a centrist leader the party has had in many decades.

And that seems just fine with MacLaren.

While committed to fiscal conservatism, MacLaren said he sat on a committee with her dedicated to finding ways government can help families with children who live with autism and other mental disabilities.

“That is a role of government, helping those who can’t help themselves,” MacLaren said. “I have high regard for Christine Elliot.”

Elliot, the widow of former federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, is the first candidate to declare her intention of running for the party leadership. She has the support of seven of the party’s 27 MPPs. The interim leader was to be selected Wednesday, after the newspaper’s deadline. The PCs are expected to decide July 5 on when to call a leadership convention but aren’t expected to elect a new permanent leader until late this or early next year.

Jack MacLaren followed Hillier as president of the Ontario Landowners Association before winning his own seat in Carleton-Mississippi Mills. He stands behind Hillier and his ideas for a more “people-oriented” movement.

“We run in a democracy and believe in democracy; maybe we as a party should be more democratic, too,” MacLaren said.

“We need to be communicating better with our grassroots members. They should feel free to contact any MPP at any time with ideas.”

Talk of a grassroots movement by rural-activist politicians leads some observers warn against a Tea Party North mentality taking over the Tory party. Pundits say the party has already double- and triple-downed on that approach – a disdain for government intervention and lauding of individualism - with Hudak and, before him, John Tory.

Yakabuski flatly rejects Hillier and MacLaren’s ideas on removing powers from the leader.

He said the interim leader’s responsibility is to bolster morale and unity among caucus and create enthusiasm among the 40,000-strong membership.

“You are to hand the party over to the leader when the time comes in good shape,” Yakabuski said of the need for strong leadership. “(Their position) is not the tradition and would not serve the party well,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the right way. It’d be chaos.”

He goes so far as to say no member of caucus would accept the role of party whip if elected; only if appointed by the leader.

Yakabuski isn’t considering a run as the party’s full-time leader, saying he doesn’t want to “give up that much time to Toronto.”

Meanwhile, Hillier confirmed he is seeking the interim leader’s position during the the opening of the Rideau Ferry Public Docks last Friday. “There has been a lot of interest,” said Hillier, who added that he wanted to have a hand in “solving and correcting some of the problems that were fairly evident after the June 12 election.”

But rather than being “defeatist” about the party’s loss of seats at the hands of the Liberals, who returned to a majority government, “I saw this electoral failure as the most wonderful opportunity to embrace a period of reform in the party, like the rising of the phoenix from the ashes,” he said.

He agreed that both Yakabuski and Wilson “have different ideas and skill sets” to him.

As for a run for the leadership itself, Hiller confirmed that he has been canvassing fellow MPPs for support since June 12 but noted “these are not short, two-minute conversations,”

News - The provincial election was something of a referendum on regional health authorities, with the Progressive Conservatives promising to curtail their power.

But now that the Liberals have won a majority, says a lawyer for Arnprior Regional Health (ARH), expect their influence to grow.

That was the message during the hospital and nursing home’s annual general meeting, held June 25 at the Grove Nursing Home.

A balanced budget was presented, along with many statistics and anecdotes proving ARH is moving in the right direction.

Although there was no talk of the five beds that closed, prompting a hospital union protest, much was accomplished this year, according to board chairman Jay Johnston.

“It’s been a challenging year. We’ve accomplished an awful lot,” Johnston said.

“But I’m sure there’ve been times people

have had a lot of questions.”

When the formal presentations were complete, ARH lawyer Kathy O’Brien discussed ‘How to prepare for What’s Coming’.

She said the last Liberal majority meant strengthened Local Health Intergation Networks (LHINs) and plenty of changes for hospitals such as Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital.

“The LHINs are staying,” O’Brien said. “It was hard to keep up. Every time we turned around there seemed to be major legislative changes.”

She noted that more and more of the government’s budget will go toward health care.

With management wages frozen, she said “something drastic has to happen.”

Greater mandated integration of services is expected. That means hospitals will increasingly become specialized, and funding from the community will likely grow.

Town council candidate running on his record Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Ted Strike is something of an old-fashioned politician in that he believes in making campaign promises then running again on a record of having accomplished those goals.

Almost four years ago the Arnprior councillor, who filed June 25 to run again for council, made four clear promises: improve roads and sidewalks; improve air quality at the sewer pump near East Side Mario’s; improve communication with developers; and ensure capital expenditures are sustainable.

All were accomplished, with a special emphasis on bumping road resurfacing from $100,000 in 2011 to almost $700,000 this year and perhaps $1 million after 2015.

Strike seized hold of the roads file partly because he was public works and engineering director for 24 years at the town, retiring in 1999.

But also because he sees the

savings in keeping up with resurfacing. Fall behind and allow the cracks to widen, and soon enough the whole thing will need to be replaced, he says.

Results and prudent spending, that’s basically his slogan.

“I think people should be aware of the commitments I made and we addressed. It’s about honesty and integrity,” Strike said, matter-of-factly.

“I was first to lead on roads because I knew we were not achieving sustainability with what we were doing. I didn’t like the lifecycle costing.”

Ditto with a move the town made to generate $1.5 million in savings over 15 years by switching to LED streetlights.

The 10-year veteran of municipal politics (including a stint as reeve) marvels and smiles broadly when speaking about accomplishments during this term of council: • over $2 million last year in capital renewal (with no tax increase); • strategic plan including

after four years of ongoing discussion; • moved to a client-focused service system; • marketing plan for growing commercial and service sectors.

TED STRIKE an action plan to 2017; • code of conduct; • 10-year capital plan; • road maintenance policy update; • water and sewer master plan; • an asset management plan developed; • selected a union contract

However, the often-sited criticism of the current council is that it hasn’t accomplished much that is tangible.

Strike falls back on roads, but storefront vacancies persist downtown and the boxstores haven’t come about at the highway.

Without going into details - because it includes town residents who lost their jobs - Strike indicated that a house cleaning was needed at town hall.

“It was a challenging time.

It was a difficult process but it had to be done. Now we are ready to move on and get some things done,” said Strike.

“This is one of the better councils I have been on or worked under as an employee.

We’ve had our disagreements, but I’m very happy with the

past two-and-a-half years this council’s worked.”

If re-elected, Strike sees the following for the next four years: • leverage the asset management plan for financial planning and grant application purposes; • develop a recreation master plan; • develop a stormwater master plan.

NEW TOWN HALL?

Two-thirds of the town’s future capital money will go toward downtown revitalization and a new town hall.

There is some consideration of upgrading the current building or adding onto the police and fire hall. But all indications show that the wisest move would be to build new on vacant land near the police and fire hall.

Strike said he will exam the recently released study on the subject but is leaning toward building new.

On the thorny issue of a

lack of shared service agreements with neighbouring McNab-Braeside, Strike is measured but firm. He said the town is primed for growth.

It will strive to treat its residents fairly when it comes to services.

And that perhaps after the Oct. 27 election there will be more willingness on the township’s side to get a deal in place.

“I think we’ve done everything we can to implement a system. When you look at what the town pays and the capital costs, it’s hard to say (town residents) pay less,” Strike said.

“We’ll continue to try to make things work, but we have to keep in mind our taxpayers and what they pay.”

Strike joins fellow incumbent Dan Lynch and Doug Smith as candidates so far for Arnprior council. Mayor David Reid and Reeve Walter Stack have also filed to run for re-election.

The deadline for nominations is Sept. 12.

Rocks from the highway blasting lands hits storage unit, neighbour says Continued from front

Blasting by Consbec is not going on as per normal, according to some McNab-Braeside residents living near the twinning of Highway 17 between Campbell and Scheel drives.

They say rocks “half the size of your head, some bigger” are landing in their fields, crashing through trees, shaking homes, and worse.

Some asked to remain anonymous because they are in negotiations with various stakeholders.

Others, such as Bryon Russett, say employees are regularly in his field collecting debris.

While he says the experience over the last three weeks has been “not too bad,” others are

rattled to the core.

Blasting takes place three or four times a day, with the largest blasts usually occurring around 6:30 p.m. A warning siren blares moments beforehand.

One of the more serious incidents involves a rock slamming into Dick Hunter’s machinery storage unit in mid-June. It went clear through a wall.

“I think it’s out of line, the blasting,” Hunter said. “Rocks landing in your yard? That’s unacceptable.”

He’s been assured the damages will be covered, and all involved have treated him with respect and concern, he said.

“But it keeps happening.”

So far, the foundation of his home is fine.

That wasn’t the case a few years ago in Braeside when quarry blasting caused damage to homes and “fly rock” hit a vehicle. Similar incidents occurred near a Pakenham area quarry more recently.

Hunter has some experience with what is involved. He is confident the company could prevent fly rock if it really wanted to do so.

There is no doubt in his mind that it was fly rock that hit his building.

“They were here when it happened,” he said.

The residents contacted for comment say

they are not opposed to the project. They agree that construction material for the highway needs to come from nearby. But safety could be taken more seriously, they said.

Consbec is a subcontractor of McIntosh Perry. Both are overseen by the ministry of transportation and the ministry of labour.

Blasting in the area is expected to last at least another three weeks.

Signs along the highway warn motorists to turn off any transmitters when in the area of the blasting.

The highway work has also caused traffic delays intermittently on Highway 17 just west of Arnprior.

Governor General tours Arnprior prior to biking with Clara Hughes

R0012704842

News – Governor General David Johnston and his wife, Sharon, made several stops in Arnprior Monday prior to bicycling to Robert Simpson Park with Olympian Clara Hughes.

The Johnstons rode with Hughes about 1.2 kilometres along John Street as she entered Arnprior in the secondlast day (day 109) of her cross-Canada ride to raise awareness of mental health issues. The couple also took part in the ceremonies in the park, welcoming Hughes and her Big Ride for Bell’s Let’s Talk to Arnprior and taking part in a special presentation to recognize her for her “exceptional accomplishments.�

However, that wasn’t their only activity in Arnprior. When they ďŹ rst arrived early in the afternoon, they met with Arnprior Mayor David Reid, his wife Tracey and town CEO Michael Wildman “to discuss the town’s priorities, successes and challenges,â€? then later with the rest of council.

The Johnstons then toured Arnprior and District Museum with curator Janet Carlile to learn more about the history of the town.

While the Governor-General moved on to tour Arnprior Aerospace, meeting with ofďŹ cials and employees, his wife and Tracey Reid made a stop at Community Living Renfrew County South. They toured the McGonigal

nadian mental health. I’m so excited to meet the people of Arnprior next, and looking forward to completing the Big Ride in Ottawa tomorrow (Canada Day),� she added.

The event in which Hughes and the Governor General took part at Robert Simpson Park was billed as a ‘Pre Canada Day Celebration of Mental Health with Clara Hughes’.

During the event, the Governor General presented Hughes with the prestigious Meritorious Service Cross (civil division). The decoration recognizes individuals who have performed an exceptional deed or activity that brings honour to Canada.

With earlier deadlines because of Canada Day, Hughes’ arrival came after the Chronicle-Guide’s press time. Coverage will be included in the July 10 newspaper.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse The definition of child abuse encompasses far more than physical violence. Sexual and emotional abuse, along with neglect, abandonment and the incapacity of parents to provide basic care (sometimes as a result of poverty or addiction) are other common forms of child abuse. It is not always easy to identify victims as they do not all exhibit the classic warning signs. Research shows that abuse and neglect can lead to serious emotional harm. Fortunately, it is possible for you to make a difference in a child’s life by learning the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier we can provide relief to these families, the greater the chance that the children can overcome these hardships.

If you have any suspicions that a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Even though the idea of making a report with the Children’s Aid Society can seem very “official” - and therefore intimidating - it is important to demystify these beliefs in order to provide help in a time-efficient manner. People often feel reluctant to get involved in other families’ personal lives, but it is imperative that we understand our duty to ensure each person’s safety in our community.

Tyler McEnroe’s family and friends remembered him at a tree-planting ceremony at Walter Zadow Public School. Above, from left are Tyler’s aunt Wendy Selle and his little cousins Nicholas and Natalie, Tyler’s mom Laurie Selle, WZPS student Shaelyn Edwards who spoke at the ceremony and won the award named for him, Tyler’s grandparents Barb Wilson and Gerald Walsh, Mike McBane, and Tyler’s cousin Arnold McIntyre.

Student remembered as generous, kind-hearted Continued from front

One of the biggest fears about reporting abuse or neglect is that we will inadvertently break up a family. As a child welfare organization, our priority is the child’s safety. Nevertheless, current data shows that 90% of children remain in their parents’ care; removal is a last-resort decision, and only occurs in cases where the child is in immediate danger.

Secondly, some worry about their identity being revealed to the family. Reports can be made anonymously. When reporting a suspicion, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment.

Even though it may feel like your report will not make a difference, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Every individual’s contribution can have an impact.

While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse or neglect turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.

“For those of you who didn’t get the chance to know Tyler, he was generous, kind-hearted, funny, determined and a good storyteller,” said Shaelyn Edwards, a Grade 8 student who this year received the Tyler McEnroe Memorial Award.

The award recognizes achievement through adversity and goes to a student who has demonstrated acceptance and perseverance while facing challenge.

Everyone agrees that Tyler embodied achievement through adversity.

“While school wasn’t really his thing, Tyler came and entertained his friends and teachers with stories about his adventures on his grandparents’ farm in Cobden that usually involved a tractor, a four-wheeler or a cow.

“He definitely was a country boy at heart and it was evident the love he had for his farm and his family,” said Edwards.

His leukemia diagnosis didn’t dampen his spirit. He was open and honest with his peers.

“Tyler’s determination was stronger than ever. With high spirit and a positive attitude about his treatments, he was still able to make people laugh with his stories,” said Edwards.

“While Tyler is not here with

us, the memories of his smile, his laughter, his courage, his determination and most importantly – his friendship – will live with us forever.”

The royal red maple planted in the yard will be a constant reminder of Tyler, his spirit and his love for his friends and teachers there.

Tyler’s family, including his aunt Wendy Selle and little cousins Natalie and Nicholas who were visiting all the way from Texas, planted the tree and then many of the staff members and students took turns shoveling soil or patting it down.

Mike McBane spoke on behalf of Tyler’s mom Laurie Selle and the rest of Tyler’s family, many wearing orange – the young man’s favourite colour. He thanked the organizers of the event and all those in attendance.

Tyler would be pleased with the tree planted in his honour, said McBane.

“He loved the farm, he liked to watch things grow,” he said.

He urged the students to keep an eye on the maple tree and in a few years time enjoy its shade.

And just maybe, said McBane, in 10 years time, and when the teachers aren’t looking, someone can climb “just up to the first branch.”

Walter Zadow Public School students gather around the Royal Red Maple tree planted in memory of Tyler McEnroe. Tyler’s laugh, courage, determination and friendship is missed.

News - Considering a run for Arnprior council and wondering what the pay will be?

Well ahead of the closing date for nominations, Sept. 12, town council has agreed to a bump in remuneration.

Town staff suggested the mayor get an extra $3,800 and councillors and the reeve be given an additional $2,400

Township bumps up development charges Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Development charges are on the rise in McNab-Braeside.

General development charges for residential on a single detached dwelling, the township’s primary lot development fee, are now $3,763, up from $3,152.

For a single attached dwelling, the charge is $3,441, for an apartment $2,867 and for a mobile home $2,724.

Commercial/industrial charges are now $5.04 per square metre of gross floor area.

Properties in the Jed Creek/Campbell Drain area will be charged an extra lot development fee, which (based on the single-detached rate) decreased from $311 to $243.

The township passed the new development charges bylaw June 17, following the results of a study prepared by Jp2g Consultants Inc. Council reviewed the report and considered comments at a public meeting held before the regular session of council.

In the time between when the old bylaw expired and the new one came into effect, there were several charges on which the township wasn’t able to collect or refunds were given.

The old lot development fee expired May 19, 2014, explained treasurer Angela Lochtie.

“The township was unable to charge a fee from this period until the adoption of the new rate on June 17. Only a few building permits were issued during this interim time period.”

The township reviewed lot development fee activity during this transition to ensure owners were billed or not billed appropriately, Lochtie added.

per year.

This has been an ongoing issue at the council table and beyond. An advisory committee of community members reviewed council pay last summer. Some of its suggestions ended up in financial services manager Renee Couture’s June 9 report.

But it’s never easy for politicians to discuss their own pay. Reeve Walter Stack, for one, has long argued that to attract more diversity – meaning younger candidates busy with work and raising a family – more incentives are needed.

Council jobs are considered part-time, but the reality is that many councillors put in more hours than that; most who have held the mayor’s position have treated it as a full-time job. It was once considered akin to volunteer work but now involves many legal obligations that put a person potentially at risk.

Then there is the comparison with similar-sized areas.

According to Couture’s findings, which included Carleton

Place, Smiths Falls, North Grenville, Renfrew and Arnprior, the latter finished dead last in remuneration.

Mayor David Reid is paid $26,483. The average is about $30,330. Staff suggested the pay be bumped up to that amount.

Same with council: councillors are paid $13,417, with the average set at about $15,840.

Couture recommended bumping them up to that amount.

The reeve gets the same.

Group benefits will remain as is.

“The intent is to remain competitive with comparable municipalities while not being the highest,” Couture said in the report. “Selecting the average is defendable.”

She also suggested the increases take effect in 2015.

Only re-elected and new members will benefit, and be pegged to a cost-of-living adjustment calculation used by town administrators.

When council OKed the plan at the June 23 meeting, Reid wanted to postpone final

approval until after the election.

The idea was rejected, with Coun. Mark Wilmer saying he doubts a newly elected member will want to give themselves a pay raise as one of their first acts.

Stack said he is not ashamed of the decision and will defend it throughout the campaign.

“I am in no way apologetic,” he said. “This is a modest but respectful middle-of-the-road position.”

On top of pay, the members will get a $50 per month Internet allowance, $35 per month for cell phone bills and $30 for in-town mileage costs (based on receipts).

All will get laptops for town business during the term.

The mayor and members of council will also get a per diem of $150 for full day and $75 for half day to attend approved out-of-town events.

During every four-year term, in the third year, a “market review” will take place.

That’s when they will set the next council’s pay.

News - Local businessman Len Chapeski has filed papers to run for deputy mayor in McNab-Braeside.

He joins current councillor Brad McIlquham in the race. Current deputy mayor Christine Blimkie has not yet filed but has indicated she will seek re-election.

Chapeski, recently in the news for a hunger strike he undertook to protest issues he and wife Bonnie Chapeski are having with the township as they attempt to build a home on their Russet Drive Mr. Dirt property, says change is needed.

A profile and photograph of Chapeski will run in an upcoming edition of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide.

Back off city, look after yourself

H

old on a minute. Let’s not get carried away.

It seems that some Ottawa councillors feel that growth in its Eastern Ontario neighbours should be curtailed because it’s putting too much pressure on Ottawa roads and other services.

It’s been suggested, with Coun. Stephen Blais apparently being the main spokesman, that a regional plan be created for Eastern Ontario to determine where growth should and shouldn’t happen. A Greater Ottawa Area (GOA), so to speak along the lines of what is in place in the Greater Toronto area.

Having a plan for the region isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly could become a centralized bureaucratic nightmare if not set up fairly.

Urban dwellers already have an inordinate amount of political power in this province.

Setting up an Ottawa-dominated process to tell rural neighbours where and when they can promote development would tilt the scales even more away from rural rights.

So much has already be downloaded to local councils from the province that this plan could lead to more amalgamation and higher taxes for rural residents. The push for a regional plan appears to be fueled by the type of thinking that rural dwellers should leave growth to the city and be thankful for our farms and open spaces.

It’s a feeling that’s come up before, when an Ottawa councillor suggested that non-city folks should pay a toll to use the highways to enter or leave the city. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and it never got beyond the talking stage.

However, the regional plan idea appears to be taken seriously by Ottawa councillors, particularly some of those known to have the ear of Mayor Jim Watson. If this idea does get off the ground, as it has in two other areas of the province, local town and rural councillors should ensure it doesn’t put most of the power in the city’s hands.

Sure, we rural folks go to the city for health, entertainment, shopping and other services. But it’s rural resources that feed factories, businesses and homes that make the cities possible.

If towns and townships can attract a few of those businesses and residents out of the city, all the more power to them. Canadian diversity should include a sustainable rural culture.

We don’t need big brother from the city telling us to leave development to urban centres only. Competition between municipalities is still a good thing.

When it comes to development, rural areas are already heavy underdogs. We don’t need a regional plan that would make the competition even more one-sided by shifting even more advantages to the city.

This is a situation that desperately needs to be rectified especially with increased summer traffic approaching.

Considering the environment (prolonged idling) and increasing gas prices, this is a great waste as well as frustration.

At left, these mating Flower Flies look convincingly like Yellowjacket wasps. Above, some Flower Flies are perfect copies of Bumble Bees.

Even Nature has liars and cheaters

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way used to ward off potential predators.

They advertise their painful defence with a bright and distinctive colour pattern. This allows animals that have experienced their defence to quickly learn who they are and thus avoid future lessons. “Once bitten, twice shy� is a common theme in Nature.

But this system of “show and tell� is exploited by a number of enterprising harmless insects that are coloured just like a

stinging insect.

So why bear this guise when they are harmless? They do so because they gain protection.

Any predator that has had a previous nasty experience with one of the real McCoys will also avoid one of the harmless lookalikes.

This remarkable phenomenon is known as ‘Batesian Mimicry’, which is named after its discoverer, the English entomologist Henry Bates.

Batesian mimics are found in many insect groups. In butterflies, harmless Viceroys look convincingly like distasteful Monarchs. Raspberry Crown Borers moths perfectly resemble Yellowjacket wasps. Flower Beetles look like Bumble Bees.

But of all the groups that contain “dishonest� members, none exceed the Flower Flies for ingenuity and complexity of disguise.

Many Flower Flies (aka Syrphids) look just like wasps, bees, or hornets. Some enhance their deception by creating buzzing sounds.

As adults, Flower Flies eat pollen and nectar, but as larvae many eat other insects with aphids being a favourite food.

But it is the adult flies that have attracted the attention of entomologists and insect photographers worldwide. Their more than 6,000 species offer myriad colours and forms to admire and record.

Novices have a hard time telling Flower Flies from their armed models.

One way is to examine the antennae; bees and wasps bear thread-like structures while that of Flower Flies is pita-shaped with a protruding filament. Another way is to count the wings: flies have two while stinging insects have four (but beware, many Flower Flies have bi-coloured wings to give the impression of owning four).

If still unsure you can catch one in your hand. You will soon learn whether you have a mimic or its model!

News - The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) held their annual general meeting at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall in May, followed by their ‘Spring Gathering’ event which had recordsetting attendance.

The AGM was conducted by MVFN president Ken Allison with attendance by board and club members.

Allison provided the membership with an overview of the organization’s activities and finances over the last year.

This is the club’s 26th year and throughout this time it has been very active promoting the understanding and awareness of the natural world with its popular natural history lectures series, canoe, hiking and birding outings, environmental programs for children and youth, and strong support for local conservation issues.

Treasurer Robert McCook presented the finances, which show a well-managed club that can continue to be very active.

group through the evening, culminating in a talk by Dr. Jayne Yack. Yack provided a fascinating talk on the secret world of insect communications with a focus on butterflies and caterpillars, many of them native to eastern Ontario.

She played recordings of sounds caterpillars make and demonstrated that some butterflies can actually hear sounds made by birds, insects and even people.

This summer MVFN will be running its regular canoe/kayak program and annual summer walks, and the club’s monthly natural history lectures will resume with a new series in September. See the new website, www.mvfn.ca for details of the upcoming activities and for membership information.

The new site took roughly one year and hundreds of hours to define, design and have implemented by MVFN’s web team along with Chris Bruce, a local naturalist and web designer.

The new site makes it much easier to see what activities MVFN is involved in and to find information in a user friendly manner.

Some things more important than money in the Valley Continued from Page 8

Every morning about 3 a.m., Delmer was at the wheel again Sanding icy logging roads, Lookin’ out for deer and smiling as he drove.

Hard work and long hours, Delmer didn’t mind, It’s just what he did, he did it all the time, One September day, he said, “No more for me.

I’m packin’ it in, I won the lottery.”

CHORUS Gotta go hunt elk, in October it’s moose In November it’s deer, and I just can’t wait.

After that, what the heck! I’ll go pick up the cheque.

You gotta keep your priorities straight.

Reporters flocked to Killaloe.

They just didn’t get Delmer’s point

of view.

“Kind of crazy,” they all but said, He’d leave the money be, go huntin’ instead.

Delmer didn’t let it bother him though, He’d a date with friends all set to go.

Folks in town might find it queer, But elk hunting comes just once a year.

CHORUS What would you if you won the lottery?

Buy a private jet, go on a shopping spree?

But Delmer’s going nowhere, though some just can’t believe.

When you live in paradise, why would you want to leave?

All that money won’t change his ways, Delmer/s staying home, not moving away.

Gonna give a bunch away, maybe buy a new car,

Fix up the the house, put the rest in a jar.

Life goes on in Killaloe, The creek still runs, still work to do.

Nothing matters more here in the end, Than a day in the bush or the company of friends.

Gotta go hunt elk, in October it’s moose In November it’s deer, and I just can’t wait.

After that, what the heck! I’ll go pick up the cheque.

You gotta keep your priorities straight.

I admire Delmer and all our Ottawa Valley residents who think a lot of things matter more than money.

Thank you for sharing this fun with your readers!

Unlicensed electrician fined for work News - An unlicensed individual has been convicted and fined $18,750 for illegal electrical work done in several schools and two residential sites in the Ottawa, Kingston and the Ottawa Valley.

On June 9, Martin Laprade pleaded guilty to two counts of performing electrical work without an electrical contractor’s licence and one count of leaving an unsafe condition.

The conviction follows two recent related convictions. In April, Mario Giroux of Construction ‘G’ was convicted and fined $58,750 for multiple violations related to hiring an unlicensed individual Laprade - to do electrical work in several schools in Eastern Ontario.

Nick Medewar of NM Electric was convicted and fined $7,500 for multiple counts of illegally taking out electrical permits on Laprade’s behalf.

“The conviction of Mr. Laprade is the final in a series of convictions of a group of individuals working in concert

outside of the law. Their actions resulted in public safety –specifically children – being at risk,” said Normand Breton, Ontario Electrical Authority’s general manager, who oversees ESA’s electrical contractor licensing system.

“Through the course of our investigation, we discovered significant electrical hazards at one school that could have seriously injured or killed someone, or caused a fire.”

All fines include a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

Only licensed electrical contractors are permitted to contract to perform electrical work in the province under Ontario law.

ESA worked with the school board to ensure all electrical defects have been corrected by a licensed electrical contractor in compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.

“Anyone – homeowners, businesses or institutions – considering hiring someone to do electrical work are reminded to follow ‘the three Cs’: check to ensure the contractor holds a valid electrical contractor licence (there is a searchable database at www. esasafe.com); confirm that they are arranging the appropriate permits and inspections from ESA; and call ESA at 1877-ESA-SAFE (1-877-3727233) if you suspect someone is misrepresenting themselves,” advised Breton.

Hiring a contractor with a valid electrical contractor licence ensures the company hired: • is fully insured; • uses qualified electricians to perform the electrical work required; • will arrange for permits with the ESA; • can deliver an ESA Certificate of Inspection; • can provide references; • will prepare a written cost estimate of the work.

Doing the right thing can be cool: OPP THEREA FRITZ/METROLAND

Traffic advisory While the delays on Highway 17 west of Arnprior to accommodate the four-laning work between Campbell and Scheel drives eased somewhat last week, drivers are advised that traffic will be limited to one lane intermittently all summer. As well, Campbell Drive will be closed for one month beginning this Monday, July 7. The closure will extend from the Hwy. 17 intersection to 400 metres south of the highway and will last until Aug. 7. The suggested detour for motorists is White Lake and Vanjumar roads and Russet Drive.

News – Through Operation Freeze, the Ontario Provincial Police is teaching kids that getting caught doing the right thing this summer can be cool.

Through a partnership with Mac’s Convenience Stores, OPP officers who see young people doing random acts of kindness and exhibiting positive behaviour will be handing out tickets that are actually coupons valid for a free Froster beverage at Mac’s.

Operation Freeze 2014 provides law enforcement officials with an additional tool to initiate conversation and promote community awareness. During the upcoming summer months, OPP officers across the province will be presenting thousands of these coupons to children.

Officers will use Operation Freeze to recognize youth for wearing bicycle helmets and doing good deeds such as picking up trash,

observing crosswalks and participating in community activities. They can also be used as conversation-starters to help establish a rapport with kids in their patrol areas. “Any opportunity that police officers have to interact with young people is an excellent way to open up conversation and develop a rapport with them,� said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, provincial commander for Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “When police officers work with local businesses to recognize youth, positive things can happen. Partnerships like the ones made during Operation Freeze can leave a lasting impression on our youth.� “Mac’s is once again proud to partner with the OPP on this important initiative that gives kids a chance to show they do care about their communities,� said Sean Sportun, loss prevention and security manager for Mac’s.

WATER RESTRICTIONS The Watering Restrictions By-law 04-14 is designed to regulate and control the usage of water, within the Almonte Ward,

in the hot summer months.

Between May 1st and September 30th each year there are limitations on who can water and at what time.

Odd number houses may water on odd calendar days and even numbered houses may water on even numbered days.

Watering may occur between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. each day and from only one connection. Midday is the hottest time of the day and the water is more likely to be wasted through evaporation when watering at this time. Watering from more than one connection simply uses too much water at once.

A significant amount of new grass or sod is exempted from these provisions for one week. Any other violations of the by-law may result in a fine.

Arnprior Dragon Boat Club - its past, present and future

14 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 3, 2014

Community - When Betty and Darrel O’Shaughnessy moved to Arnprior in 2011 from Kelowna, where they paddled with a team called the ‘Red Hot Chilli Paddlers’, they had the dream of forming a dragon boat club in Arnprior.

Their dream started to come to fruition when they invited three other people, who also had the experience as well as the desire to dragon boat paddle in Arnprior, to a meeting in early 2012. That was the beginning of the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club (ADBC).

Bruce Heino, Susan and Merv McIntyre, and the O’Shaughnessys now make up the ADBC executive and carry out the operations of the club.

The executive encouraged their family, friends and neighbours to join the club and this group embarked on the adventure of dragon boat paddling on the beautiful Madawaska and Ottawa rivers in the summer of 2012 in a boat that was rented for seven weeks.

The enthusiastic paddlers went on to form the first competitive team in 2013 and called themselves the Draggin’ Behinds. They competed in the Carleton Place and Kingston festivals with encouraging results and provided the team with a solid foundation upon which to build.

The Draggin’ Behinds, for 2014, plan to compete in the Ottawa Rideau Canoe Club and Carleton Place festivals and have been practicing hard since late May. The executive, during the winter of 2013, applied for and successfully secured a Trillium Grant in the amount of $25,700 in order to buy a dragon boat, personal flotation devices, paddles, some equipment and training. The boat was officially christened the ‘Ottawaska’ during the 2013 White Pine Days that recognized the efforts of the club in securing the grant.

The ADBC is a community service organization dedicated primarily to inspiring health and fitness for all ages through the sport of dragon boating.

In order to reach out to more of the Arnprior and surrounding communities, the club introduced recreational paddling in summer 2013. The program is designed for women and

Arnprior Mayor David Reid visited with members of the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club at the Arnprior marina June 25 to see where they are basing their activities and their new sign. The mayor reiterated the town’s support for the Community Challenge Dragon Boat Festival the club will be holding July 25, 2015 at Robert Simpson Park and took a turn in the drummer’s seat on the Draggin’ Behinds’ dragon boat, the ‘Ottawaska’. men who wish to paddle for exercise, but who do not wish to compete in festivals.

This year, the club, in cooperation with the Town of Arnprior, is continuing its outreach efforts by offering a summer program to youth between the ages of 12 and 16.

The recreational group is also growing in numbers.

The club is also planning on continuing its ‘promotional fun days’ (the club has held three over the last two years) this summer where people are welcome to come out and experience paddling in a dragon boat.

The club is also looking ahead to 2015 when it, in cooperation with the Town of Arnprior, will host a Community Challenge Dragon Boat Festival on July 25 at Robert Simpson Park. Partners in Caring and Kidsport have been designated as financial beneficiaries of this event.

The motto of the ADBC is ‘Unity and Community’ and the club lives by this not only by being a volunteer not-forprofit dragon boat club serv-

ing the Town of Arnprior and surrounding communities but also by making donations to the Arnprior Food Bank and other organizations such as the Choroideremia Research Foundation Canada through the generosity of its members and proceeds raised through its promotional fun days.

The club is self-coached by several experienced paddlers, which is supplemented by hiring a local professional coach who has international experience. The steers persons are also volunteers from the club.

Dragon boating is the fastest growing team water sport in North American and is a perfect way to keep fit and have fun on the water, say club officials.

The ADBC is made up of paddlers of various ages and diverse backgrounds who share dragon boat paddling and are always looking to welcome new members.

For more information on dragon boating, email arnpriordragonboatclub@gmail. com or contact a member of the executive.

Three suspects nabbed, one sought after drug bust News – Four Valley men, including a former Arnprior resident, are facing serious charges after a major drug bust up the Valley June 24.

Drug, Oxycodone and a sawed-off shotgun were seized, say police, when members of the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau’s Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) conducted a Project Paradigm raid on a home in North Algona Wilberforce. The OPP Tactics and Rescue

Unit, Emergency Response Team, Canine Unit, and members of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment helped the execution of a Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant on the residence. Three middleaged men are facing several pot-related charges and a 41-year-old Jason Laundrie is being sought for breach of probation, drug and firearms related charges.

Secure your loads, police warn drivers News - The OPP are reminding drivers top properly secure their loads.

Recently, the OPP has investigated several incidents in the region where items were not properly secured and struck other vehicles on the highway.

The OPP remind motorists

that it’s the driver’s responsibility to make sure all items attached to their vehicle, trailer or in the back of a pick-up truck are properly secured.

The offence of having an insecure load under the Highway Traffic Act has a fine of $160 and for commercial motor vehicles, $390.

Dillabough, Costello to play Women face domestic charges Sunday at Union Hall in Clayton 1982. Those were special and different times to be sure, he recalls.

“It used to be wall-to-wall people in there and you could never really be sure what was going to happen or who was going to show up. Folks just ‘appeared’ on stage, but the one thing that could be counted on was that Costello would be backing up whoever it was that was singing,” Dillabough says.

“Everyone in town it seemed gathered at the Legion on a Friday night and at the Legion Bernie was ‘king of the keyboard’.”

Described often as being the ‘Valley’s Floyd Cramer’, Costello has been making music for over 60 years.

“We both have had health issues in recent years,” noted Dillabough. “And it makes one appreciate even more the true gift that being able to play music is and what an honour it is to be able to play for others.

So we kinda just want to get together and play.

“Plus we love performing in these old buildings where we can be amongst our friends and neighbours and just have some fun.”

opment and property Paul Moreau.

In 2005, the county bought the land on which Renfrew County Place was opened two years later.

At present, there is 20 acres of undeveloped land that is owned by the county, of which about five acres would likely be used to build the local detachment’s facilities.

“This is a business relationship that we would have with the Province of Ontario, to build the facility and be the landlord and house the OPP,” said Moreau.

“It’s unique because we happen to have the land and it’s in the right spot, the right location. The OPP have asked for that location because it’s at O’Brien (Road), it serves the town and it has access to Highway 17. It’s unique, it’s more of a one-off than something that we would (normally) pursue.”

The proposed site for the Renfrew OPP detachment would be located next to Renfrew County Place, which houses the Renfrew paramedic base, a daycare and offices for several agencies. Renfrew County Place revenue serves to reduce the county’s annual tax levy by almost $200,000.

At the June 25 session of county council, Moreau provided an update on project developments. Plans include a 15-year lease with CBRE (Coldwell Banker, Richard Ellis), the negotiator for Infrastructure Ontario that began negotiations with the county in 2012.

“If there’s not a problem with legal counsel in their review, hopefully we’ll be proceeding with the design of the facility and bring that

back to committee,” said Moreau. “We also have to bring back the negotiated final lease document for approval by council. That’s the critical next step for us.”

Once approved, the county can proceed with construction, said Moreau.

“In terms of profitability for the county, at the end of a 15-year period we hope to own the building. The final lease will give us a better feel for what those numbers will be. We would own the building, but we will finance the construction. We will debenture it.”

At that point, there’s a “good likelihood” the OPP would renew that lease agreement, added Moreau.

“We’re thankful to get it to Renfrew,” said Whitewater Region Reeve Don Rathwell about the prospect of generating revenue from a new OPP facility. “And I think we should move, and move as quick as we can, on it.”

The county has spent a total of $51,898 on the OPP project since 2012, including $25,000 so far this year.

At its June 25 meeting, county council approved the spending of up to $75,000 more this year. The money will support continued negotiations regarding construction and leasing of the OPP facility next to Renfrew County Place.

At present, the Renfrew detachment houses some staff in a satellite office in Arnprior, in addition to operating out of two locations in Renfrew.

One building is at the north end of town and the other space is part of Renfrew’s downtown municipal headquarters.

County council may re-examine weighted vote Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

R0012782907/0703

News - Renfrew County council may reconsider the weighted-vote bylaw that was adopted in 2001.

Upon the request of any county member, a weighted vote can be called for on any motion or bylaw put before council. That system is based on one vote per 500 electors for each of the 17 municipality members of county council.

The current weighted-vote distribution, from heaviest to lightest, is Petawawa 25, Laurentian Valley 16, McNab-Braeside 13, Renfrew 13, Whitewater Region 13, Madawaska Valley 12, Arnprior 12, Greater Madawaska 11, Bonnechere Valley 9, North Algona Wilberforce 8, Deep River 7, Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards 7, AdmastonBromley 6, Horton 6, Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan 5, Laurentian Hills 5, and Head, Clara & Maria 2. That distribution leaves a total of 170 votes. Discussion regarding the possibilities of changing the weighted-vote bylaw would best be reserved for the next

term of county council, following the October 2014 municipal elections, suggested Warden Peter Emon at the June 23 meeting of county council. “I think that will be a very entertaining discussion, but probably not today,” he said.

Renfrew Reeve Audrey told county council June 23 that she’d like a report brought back regarding the weighted-vote framework in other counties. Green, who has also suggested a cap on number of votes per municipality, even said the system could be made a lot fairer by abolishing weighted votes altogether.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, whose Admaston-Bromley Township has one of the lowest number of weighted votes, disagrees.

She argues that the weighted vote, as it now is, respects the townships that carry greater numbers of property assessment.

“I think it’s fair the way it is,” said Laurentian Valley Mayor Jack Wilson, whose township has the second-highest number of votes, but also the second-highest amount of taxpayers. Knowing his Greater Madawaska Township has an abundance of waterfront

property, Emon facetiously suggested a new weighted vote should be based on waterfront. Ironically, he noted that any vote to change the weighted-vote system would use the current weighted-vote method, therefore it would be unlikely to pass.

At present, the schedule of votes can change, based on the number of eligible voters provided by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. But the basis of one voter per 500 electors can’t change without a vote by county council.

It sounds like some county councillors want a change, but they don’t know what the change would be, says Emon. As a Greater Madawaska politician, Emon says he has a personal history of being for or against the weighted-vote system, depending on how the vote went.

To laughter from council, Warden Emon facetiously said discussion could be reserved for January 2017, or even 2027.

Following the council meeting, Emon also said, “It is the rule, and at this point I don’t see an alternative being presented that is suitable.”

Hundreds of cyclists gear up for major Arnprior area race Sports – Hundreds of cyclists will converge on Arnprior Sunday, July 13 for the Cyclo de Sportif.

The race through the scenic back roads around Arnprior has grown dramatically in popularity after last year’s inaugural event.

This year well over 400 cyclists have already registered for the races, which will begin from Robert Simpson Park.

The Champlain’s Folly cyclosportif invites cyclists of all abilities and experience to riding on what organizers call

“Ottawa Valley’s most scenic roadways.�

The event features three picturesque routes all beginning in Arnprior.

Azure, a 32-km ride, is for cyclists just ďŹ nding their legs.

The 85-km l’Astrolabe shows participants a great deal of this area and the Road to China even more as it gives seasoned riders the choice of a 130-km or 160-km course.

Directional signage will be erected on the route to help riders stay on track.

Refreshment stations will

be attended to by volunteers at about every 30 to 35 kilometres along each route 85 kilometres or longer, providing water, energy drinks, snacks, and mechanical and medical back-up.

A post-ride meal is included, provided by a variety of local food trucks in the park.

All routes will be swept to ensure no cyclist is left out on the course.

The Champlain’s Folly cyclosportif raises money for the construction of an indoor velodrome in the Ottawa area.

Attention

This year’s national event will have 75 or more competitors, and at least 10 vendors with their tents set up on the Peaks beach.

Last year, the event faced a deficit of about $25,000, which organizers expected for its first year. Most of that was covered by the sponsors. That included $15,000 to bring in the world pros, Karam explained.

They expect to break even this year, and get into the black by adding events alongside in its third year in 2015.

Those could include a mountain bike race, a hiking tour or Calabogie yoga, activities that would be going on simultaneously with the wake surf. “From the entertainment side, we’ve talked to other organizers of Ottawa-area music events, and they said they’d like to become involved and bring the music to the next level and have multiple bands playing throughout the day,�

Karam said. “Ideally what we want to do is showcase local talent, with possibly one major headliner.�

The fact that the township is supporting and promoting this event allows the wake surfing tour to plant its feet firmly in Calabogie, Karam added. “I’m glad to see the enthusiasm from last year carry over,� said Mayor Peter Emon. “I was down last year for about an hour walking around.

It was very-well run, a nice fun atmosphere, lots of energy, and a lot of people that just wanted to be there.�

Admission to the event is free for spectators.

NU-TECH/SUBMITTED

The Arnprior Oldtimers team formed to take on the NHL Oldtimers in a benefit game April 15, 1978. How many can you recognize?

Oldtimers hockey program brings back memories Sports – An employee at NuTech Industries in Arnprior was cleaning up last week and came across a hockey program that brought back many memories.

In fact, there were three programs, printed by H. Brittle and all in great shape, from a game between the Arnprior Oldtimers and the National Hockey League Oldtimers on Saturday, April 15, 1978 at the then almost new Arnprior District Civic Centre (now the Nick Smith Centre).

One of the many sponsors of the game was Chase Nuclear, the forerunner of Nu-Tech.

The game was a fundraiser for Arnprior Minor Hockey.

The Arnprior team was coached

by Bob Nicholas, with Alex Staye the manager and Jim Mosely the trainer. Taking to the ice to represent Arnprior were such luminaries as Rick and Mike Smith, Glen Lesway, Don Derraugh, Francis Herbert, John Stack, Pat Fitzmaurice, Lorne Watters, Gary Gilks, Gary Grainger, Keith Clark, Graham Craig, Jimmy Mulvihill, Jerry Levesque, Brian Rafter, Terry

Gibeau, John Ryan, Jim Blair, Maurice Robillard, Doug Farmer, Bob Thompson, Dave Fridgen, and Ken Wall.

Robillard was Arnprior Minor Hockey vice-president at the time and Derraugh secretary. Joining them on the executive in 1978 were president Gary Hanneman and treasurer Bill Kauffeldt.

While there were several former NHL stars on the opposing team, much of the attention likely went to the referees, hockey legend Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard and hall-of-fame referee, the always colourful Red Storey.

The NHL Oldtimers (Anciens Pros) were coached by former NHLer Marcel Bonin. The players included Claude Lussier and Roger Morissette in goal and former Hab Dollard St. Laurent on defence along with Junior Langlois and Lee Hardy.

The forwards were Phil Goyette, Claude Laforge, Ken Mosdell, Bobby Hull’s nemesis Claude Provost, Andre Pronovost, former Bruin Flemming Mackell and Serge Boily.

Vegas, Nevada. Calabogie is the only tour stop in Canada this year. “There were about 1,000 people participating last year.

It’s not strictly a sports competition, but also involves family recreation,� explained Greater Madawaska Coun.

Bruno Kierczak.

Calabogie Lake residents Stephen Karam and Scott D’Ascenzo are co-ordinating the Calabogie wake surf weekend again this year. “I really love the fact that Calabogie is such an embracing area, with all the businesses around it, the people and community, and just the entire culture,� Karam said. “I want to be a part of how Calabogie is growing and attracts tourism. So Scott and I have been aiming to grow this event.�

Wake surfing involves holding a rope about 10-feet behind a boat. The boat is going about 10 miles per hour, When the competitor gets a groove, they let go of the rope and free surf.

People from six to 80 can do this, he said. “There’s absolutely very little chance that somebody’s going to get injured doing this. It’s one of the fastest growing water sports in the world.�

Hosting this event not only showcases the sport, but also the surrounding region, Karam said. “Everybody who has tried this sport has found religion.

They said they’ll no longer waterski, they’ll no longer do wake boarding, they’ll actually just go wake surfing because of the stress release on their entire body.�

Galetta Bowls hosts mixed pairs tourney

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Special Olympians headed to nationals Three Arnprior Special Olympians and their coaches were put in the spotlight at the June 23 Arnprior council meeting. The local contingent is preparing for a trip to the national competition in Vancouver this month. From left are Greg Murdoch (swimming), Lisa Turcotte (athletics) and Greg Russell (five-pin bowling) with Mayor David Reid. Coaches Vicki Murdoch, Renee Stewart and Barb Cosman are also making the trip. The group heads out this Sunday, July 6. “I know you will all represent the town very well and with great pride,� said Reid at the council meeting after presenting them with certificates from the town.

Sports - Galetta Bowls tournaments are popular for two main reasons: Galetta has one of the best lawn bowls greens in Ontario and it is a friendly club situated in a peaceful park-like setting.

Bowlers from all around quickly learn that if they want to compete in a Galetta Bowls tournament they have to book early in the season or miss out.

On Monday, June 9 was the first Galetta tournament of the season, the MacHardy-Waterside Mixed Pairs. The tournament is named after Donald MacHardy, the visionary and driving force behind the green’s construction.

The overall winners were the Nepean team of Gerry Laporte (skip) and Joelle Russell (lead). Second place was the Galetta team of Bob Smith (skip) and

Sue Smith (lead).

Two-game high was won by the Deep River team of Tony Hunt (skip) and Mim Berry (lead). Galetta bowlers Rico Silvestro (skip) and Flo Silvestro (lead) won the one-game high prize and Bill Sheffield (skip) and Patricia Garvin (lead) took the sports team award.

A.J. Charbonneau celebrates with its 35 graduates News – In a special moment at the A.J. Charbonneau Public School graduation ceremony June 25, Cassandra Toner was presented with the Sterling Toner Memorial award given annually in memory of her brother, Sterling.

Sterling was in Grade 3 at A.J. Charbonneau when he died of cancer just over three years ago. The award in his name is given to a student who exemplifies the meaning of friendship.

Morgan Klein and Matthew Perreault gave a joint valedictory address for the Grade 8 class of 2014 at the ceremony.

Tessa Roberts received a Renfrew County District School Board medallion for being the top academic student in the class and also earned the Murray Vernon award for her community volunteer work.

All 35 graduates were congratulated for their efforts by principal Amy Johnson, Trustee Norm Hazelwood and superintendent of education Dennis Jenkins.

The graduates responded with a special performance for family and staff. Teacher Karen Haelssig gave her popular ‘Our Graduates, Then & Now’ presentation.

Other Grade 8 award winners were: • Brooke Brum – Ontario Principals Council leadership award; • Madeleine Hiscocks – Clare Hamilton Memorial Award for most improved student in memory of the school secretary who died suddenly almost two years ago; • Brandon Ekholm and Hella Watkins – Arnprior Optimist Club awards for positive outlook.

Osteoporosis – Greek for porous bones Ian Harris RNT

Opinion - Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by low bone mass and the deterioration of bone tissue.

This leads to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture (broken bones), particularly of the hip, spine, wrist and shoulder. Osteoporosis or bone loss occurs without symptoms.

For most of us Osteoporosis is a term more likely associated with older women. Most men probably don’t even realize that osteoporosis, the subject of much research and high-profile campaigns targeting women, is also a problem suffered by one in five men. Both men and women begin to lose bone mass in their 30s, and although women generally lose this mass at a faster rate than men, especially in the menopausal years, men are also at significant risk of osteoporosis as they age. So what can men do to prevent bone loss?

First you have to understand the factors that can cause bone loss such as the consumption of mass quantities of alcohol, smoking, lack of physical activity, inadequate calcium or vitamin D, androgen deprivation therapy (as used in treatment of prostate cancer), chemotherapy, chronic use of glucocorticoid medication (a steroid hormone generally used to reduce inflammation that can lead to bone loss in as little as three to six months of regular use), malabsorption syndromes (disorders that interfere with nutrient absorption, such as celiac disease or cystic fibrosis), chronic inflammatory diseases, low body weight (less than 60 kg) or substantial weight loss (more than 10 per cent of body weight) and family history of hip fracture.

Knowing about these factors can help you to determine your risk level in order to modify diet and lifestyle to help lower your risk.

Weight management, wellness and nutrition Foods to eat to help strengthen our bones Dried fruits, nuts, and avocados that contain boron; dairy, sesame seeds, almonds, green leafy vegetables, canned fish with bones, and tofu contain calcium; Pumpkin, sesame seeds and soybeans that contain magnesium; whole grains, dried fruit, and seafood containing silicon; fatty fish such as salmon, fortified milk and milk alternatives containing Vitamin D; and finally kale, spinach, collard greens, chard, Brussels sprouts (for K1), eggs, cheese, and fermented foods (for K2) containing Vitamin K1 and K2.

Foods to stay away from.

Foods high in salt are not only bad for the heart, but high sodium intake can also cause calcium loss, which is bad for your bones, as well as, high caf-

feine intake (three cups a day of coffee or any other beverage containing high levels of caffeine), which can also cause calcium loss from the body.

According to the Mayo Clinic, for most healthy adults, moderate doses of caffeine, between 200 to 300 mg or two to three cups of brewed coffee per day is acceptable.

Remember we cannot replace low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue with diet, supplementation and/or medication, but we can slow down the process by taking care of ourselves, eating well and exercising.

Ian Harris is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at at ww.ianharris.ca or 613-8636325.

Tips for a safe lunch box Lifestyle – There are many ways to ensure you and your family are eating healthy and safe lunches.

Follow these 10 easy tips: 1. Make sure your refrigerator and freezer are at the correct temperature for food safety. Set the fridge at 4 degrees Celsius (40 degrees Fahrenheit) and freeze at 18 degrees C (0 degrees F).

2. Always start with clean hands. It’s easy to pick up dirt and germs as we move through the day, so be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before handling any food, 3. Clean your work surfaces before preparing food and make sure your utensils are clean too.

4. Separate your food groups during preparation. Use one cutting board for fruits and vegetables and another for meat.

5. Fresh fruit and vegetables are a great addition to the lunch bag – just remember to wash all produce thoroughly before packing.

6. Separate your food groups in the lunch box. Wrap sandwiches apart from raw vegetables using plastic wrap, re-sealable bags or airtight containers.

7. Make sure foods stay at the appropriate temperature by using an ice pack for cold items and a thermos for hot foods. An insulated lunch bag will also help keep.

8. Never save uneaten food lunch items for the next day. Throw them out.

9. Pack bacterial wipes in your child’s lunch box so they can wipe their hands before and after eating.

10. Wipe the lunch box clean every day after school to get rid of any leftover food particles and germs.

Puffed wheat dishes and tableware were staples

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE Jack & Faiths

were the ones that came in the puffed-wheat bag. Without a doubt, they were best of the lot, but we were far from having enough to set a complete table.

In fact, there weren’t enough of the puffed wheat dishes to even make one complete setting.

I thought everyone in Northcote got their dishes from the puffed-wheat bag. Unfortunately, the company that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with cups. And so we had an about 12 saucers, no cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a bread-and-butter plate, which according to Father wasn’t worth taking out of the cupboard.

And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoe’s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat, and hopefully come home with at least one tea cup.

To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why.

She also had a short list of things Mother had to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking of Gillettes Lye), because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never R0012765529

39 WINNERS CIRCLE, ARNPRIOR

Lifestyle - My sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoe’s General store, and told to hurry up about it.

Father’s sister, Aunt Freda (not Aunt Lizzie who regularly sent the hand-me-down boxes from Regina), was coming for a short visit from Chicago. I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio, which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity.

She would be arriving at the C.P.R. station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle Henry Wagenblass.

Well, did that set our house in a frenzy! What to have for supper? Change the bed upstairs, clean from top to bottom, get out the only white tablecloth we owned and which Mother had brought from New York, and try to find dishes that matched.

And do all of this before Father headed into Renfrew to bring Aunt Freda out to Northcote.

The dishes were the problem. We had a hodge-podge of mismatched dishes, some with a gold maple leaf in the centre of each plate that had been in our old log house for generations, some with a navy-blue rim around them, and then there

able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye in the making.

When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big, with a strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was.

The bags were piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time.

She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully sure was right in the middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didn’t attack the same bag twice.

She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Mother’s list, said “please put this on Mother’s bill,” and we headed for the buggy outside.

It didn’t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a goodly portion into a big bowl, and retrieve a cup.

Now, Aunt Freda would have

a cup and saucer that matched, and a dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat.

None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen ... bought simply for the dish inside.

There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle.

He paid no attention to her at all.

And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, “certainly not ... we bought a bag of puffed wheat, didn’t we?”

And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of missmatched dishes.

And always there would be a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat.

Recognized for Exemplary Care Arnprior Regional Health was recognized for exemplary care three times this past year. The first award received was the Quality Healthcare Workplace Award (Bronze level) from the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) and HealthForceOntario. Secondly, ARH received the Studer Group® International Healthcare Organization of the Quarter Award. Last but definitely not least was Accreditation Canada granting us the highest level possible – Accredited with Exemplary Status.

The Quality Healthcare Workplace Award (Bronze Level) President & CEO Eric Hanna and Vice President Human Resources Ron Marcotte accepted the award on behalf of Arnprior Regional Health.

This award recognizes organizational efforts to improve healthcare workplaces in ways that contribute to employees’ quality of work life, which ultimately impacts quality of care patients, residents and clients receive.

As a first time applicant for this award, Arnprior Regional Health was pleased to provide information, actions, outcomes and supporting evidence pertaining to all major aspects of a healthy, high-performing healthcare workplace with the focus being on the effectiveness of actions taken in these areas. “All staff should be proud of this award. Research demonstrates that a healthy work place yields higher quality of care and patient satisfaction,” said President & CEO Eric Hanna.

Arnprior Regional Health was one of 8 winners of this level. “The standards of each award level continue to rise each year. This program is great for providing us with a useful tool of external validation of where we are today and what we can do to plan for the future. We look forward to continuing our efforts to provide a quality work place for all staff,” noted ARH Board Chair Jay Johnston.

Our vision of being “recognized for providing exemplary care – making your health a priority” is dependent on our ability to attract and retain top quality staff, physicians and volunteers.

Caring about what we do and why in a “Quality Healthcare Workplace” environment is essential to achieving this vision.

Accreditation Canada recognized ARH as having three leading practices.

“Some of these practices are ingenious in their simplicity. Often, they are implemented by organizations with limited resources, showing how innovative strategies can be achieved at minimal cost.”

Arnprior Regional Health Achieves Highest Award from Accreditation Canada

A

rnprior Regional Health received the highest level of award from Accreditation Canada – Accreditation with Exemplary Standing. To achieve this level of performance the organization exceeded the most rigorous requirements of the accreditation program.

Accreditation Canada is a not-for-profit organization that has been improving health quality through accreditation since 1958.

The organization accredits more than 1,200 organizations representing 5,700 sites and services across Canada.

The in-depth process of review assessed standards across all services at Arnprior Regional Health (Hospital, Nursing Home, Assisted Living and Adult Day Program).

These standards examined all aspects of health care including patient safety, governance and leadership, ethics, staff education, emergency preparedness, and partnerships with the community. In total 1,519 standards were assessed and Arnprior Regional Health was in compliance with 98.4%!

The accreditation process validates the impact of the organization’s ongoing efforts to improve the outcomes for patient/ resident/client care, as well as improving the experience of those who are in need of our care and services. “Achieving the highest level of certification requires a team effort by the more than 300 staff, physicians, and volunteers who work at Arnprior Regional Health. The award is acknowledgement that ARH is keeping pace with the rapidly changing healthcare environment and confirms our commitment to quality improvement to deliver safe patient care,” said Eric Hanna, President & CEO, Arnprior Regional Health.

In their report, the surveyors highlighted ARH’s many strengths and praised our programs, staff, services and culture.

ARH was also recognized for 3 new leading practices. The three specific practices for 0703.R0012782903

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 3, 2014 45

ARH included Falls Prevention, Physician Score Card and the Integrated COPD Program.

The surveyors went on to note, “ARH is a highly functioning organization that has worked hard during the past three years to implement positive change, address service gaps, and improve the services it offers. The organization has made progress by focusing on its values and vision, and adhering to its strategic plan and goals. Arnprior Regional Health recognizes that if progress is to be made then staff engagement is key to further progress. Toward that end, the organization has done a superior job in engaging staff and demonstrating by example what it means to be leaders in health care.”

“Congratulations to the staff and leadership at Arnprior Regional Health for their commitment to quality and safety, which was evident throughout all aspects of the accreditation experience,” said Wendy Nicklin, President and CEO of Accreditation Canada. “Organizations that achieve exemplary standing, the highest level of achievement, are a model for quality improvement.”

Jay Johnston, ARH Board Chair, noted “The Board of Directors is most proud of this achievement. The dedicated and committed team at Arnprior Regional Health is to be commended for such an outstanding result.”

Mr. Johnston also noted how the rating of “exemplary” was consistent with the vision of Arnprior Regional Health which is to be “recognized for exemplary care”.

Studer Group® International Healthcare Organization of the Quarter Award At Arnprior Regional Health we believe in doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person, and achieving the best possible results.

We don’t just want to give great care - we want to give excellent care and we know we are on the right path by what our patients are saying about us.

ARH won this award through incorporating tools and tactics to: reduce readmission rates; achieving overall ratings of excellence on the inpatient floor; through an increase on the number of compliments from patients; lowering staff turnover rates, reducing falls at the Grove and through our efforts in reducing the amount of medications given to residents.

Partnering with the Community wo new family physicians were successfully recruited over this past year through the community led physician recruitment committee. Dr. Nejad and Dr. Fitzsimon will both be providing in patient care at the hospital and to residents at the Grove.

T

Dr. Nejad will also join the physician rotation for emergency department coverage.

Our local family physicians, the Town of Arnprior, and the Township of McNab/Braeside all played an important role in recruiting Dr. Fitzsimon and Dr. Nejad. Both municipalities recognized the economic impact and benefits new physicians bring to our local economies and community at large. The funding provided by both municipalities as well as Arnprior Regional Health, supports expenses related to a physician recruiter, physicians’ relocation and the recent locum physician experience in Arnprior.

The addition of these family physicians will ensure ARH continues to provide services across the continuum of care including hospital services, community based services, and long term care. “This is fantastic news but we have to caution that we are not done yet. The Physician Recruitment Plan has identified the need for 4 new family physicians over the next 5 years” said Jay Johnston, Chair of the ARH Board of Directors.

Improving the Patient and Resident Experience partnership between former patients and their family members, along with staff members form two committees – The Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC) at the hospital and the Family Council (FC) at the Grove.

Both committees meet on a regular basis to review patient/resident/family feedback and recommend changes to the organization.

Feedback is received through patient satisfaction surveys, resident satisfaction surveys, compliment and complaint letters sent in, and through post discharge phone calls.

A

of nutritious, appetizing comfort foods that will meet each patient’s individual needs. It is great to have everyone’s input as we evaluate the nutritional content of products. This is a wonderful working group and we are enjoying the sampling of great new products!

Both councils review the information sent in and make recommendations. These recommendations are presented to the VP of Patient and Resident Care. Working together they reach an agreement on ways to proceed in the best interest of patient and resident care.

One area benefitting from this collaboration is meals and meal delivery.

The meal delivery system at the Arnprior Hospital provides patients with a meal choice at point of service. A Food Service Worker greets each patient and takes their order and within a couple of minutes your meal is presented to you. The patients seem to really enjoy this personal service. Feedback from speaking directly with our patients has been positive indicating that they like that the food is served up hot right outside their room. We are aiming to meet individual preferences and offer more choice for patients with special dietary needs.

A Menu Planning Committee was formed which includes a multidisciplinary team of staff and members from PFAC. The purpose of the Menu Planning Committee is to enhance the patient experience by creating a varied menu selection

Achieving excellence through working partnerships, we deliver responsible, quality healthcare each day.

Small Hospital Pharmacy Initiative he small hospital transformation fund, provided by the Champlain LHIN, has enabled the creation of a small hospital pharmacy initiative involving Arnprior Regional Health and 7 other small hospitals in the Champlain area. Through this initiative, area hospitals are investigating opportunities for a collaborative approach to medication management in order to optimize patient safety and meet all regulatory requirements.

This is very timely as, beginning in 2015, all hospital pharmacies in Ontario will be required to be accredited by the Ontario College of Pharmacists in addition to complying with stringent medication management standards already set forth by Accreditation Canada.

T

In addition to the funds provided by the LHIN, the Auxiliary also provided funds.

Auxiliary support allowed ARH to puchase new packaging equipment for the Pharmacy and dispensing equipment for patient care areas. The packaging system (PacMed) will package individual units of medication which will be housed in secure drawers in the automated dispensing units (ADUs) in the patient care areas. Once prescribed for a patient, the medication order will be entered into the Meditech computer system with the information transferred electronically to the automatic dispensing units. A nurse can then choose the medication required for a specific patient and the machine will dispense the proper item in a labelled package which can be taken to the patient’s bedside for administration. This process significantly reduces the risk of medication error and improves patient safety.

Other initiatives being explored by the small hospital group include investigation of options for a shared service to provide intravenous medications, sharing of clinical information and protocols (both within the small hospital group and with The Ottawa Hospital), and sharing of policy and procedure development.

Partnering with other HealthCare Agencies It is More than Just a Number – The Impact of Reducing Medications in LTC

CHF – Partnering with the Arnprior & District Family Health Team

Partnering with MediSystems

A strong partnership between the Arnprior Family Health Team and ARH was demonstrated through the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) initiative in 2012. Building on that success is a new partnership to combat Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Judy Cobus RN, in collaboration with Family Physicians, leads the program for patients with diagnosis of CHF. Rostered patients may be referred from their family doctor. Judy offers individualized education to patients about living with their chronic illness and includes: the importance of monitoring daily weight; following a low sodium diet; how to read food labels; medication review and when to see their doctor. Patients who are not rostered through the ADFHT may be referred to the Ottawa Heart Institute. CHF affects over 350,000 Canadians of all ages.

A

collaborative partnership between a long term care home (The Grove) and a pharmacy provider (MediSystems) achieved a significant and sustained reduction in scheduled medication for residents.

This past year the Grove undertook the initiative of reducing the amount of medications given to residents to improve their overall health. The positive results included a reduction in falls, improvement in behaviors and reduced use of anti-psychotics.

This was a true partnership that took an interdisciplinary approach and shared vision used to support this quality improvement success.

At the beginning of this quality improvement initiative, medications at the Grove were 12.6 per resident. They are now 11.1 per resident. An ICES study indicated most long term care residents are on 9 or more medications, with an average of 11.6 per resident.

This successful project was presented as a case study at the Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services for Seniors (OANHSS) “It is more than just a number- The impact of reducing medications in LTC” by Leah Levesque, VP of Patient and Resident Service and Jacqueline Roberts, Pharmacist.

Aging Without Boundaries

Assisted Living Services Program

Partnering with Seniors in Mind

Helping seniors maintain their independence in their own homes is the goal of The Assisted Living Services Program.

Adult Day Program The Adult Day Program received news of permanent funding from the Champlain LHIN in 2013. Under the Healthy Aging Strategy the new funding allowed for 12 additional client spots and an increase from 3 days a week to 4 days a week.

The Adult Day program is open to members of the community over the age of 65, including those who have Alzheimer’s and/or dementia.

Activities are structured to highlight the strength of individuals in groups as well as independently. Day Program attendees have the opportunity to enjoy entertainment, cards, physical and social games, and fitness tailored to individual ability.

atmosphere. The baking program offers clients the chance to participate in a past activity that they may not be able to do at home any longer. This program involves making cookies, breads and/or special seasonal items that the client can enjoy that day at their afternoon nourishment.

Intergenerational Program

Most seniors want to continue living at home, whether it is in a private home, condominium complex, an apartment or other living arrangements. The Assisted Living Services Program is the result of The Aging at Home Strategy developed by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. This strategy works towards matching the needs of seniors and their caregivers with the appropriate local support services and avoid the unnecessary loss of independence and dignity due to premature admission to higher care long-term care homes or hospitals. The Aging at Home Strategy is of critical importance, both for its potential to improve the lives of Ontario seniors, and also because it will help ensure the sustainability of the overall health system.

Arnprior Regional Health developed a program to offer support services for the Town of Arnprior through a partnership with the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). This program delivers personal support and homemaking services to help seniors continue to live in their homes independently. These services are provided day, evening /night, seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

Often the biggest benefactor of this program is to the caregiver. One of the Day Program goals is to offer caregiver respite. Efforts are made to hold support group meetings at the same time as the Day Program. This gives the caregiver the opportunity to speak with others in their situation and also permits for a few hours to be on their own while knowing their loved one is getting the chance to socialize, participate in activities in line with their abilities and interests, and take part in a pleasurable dining experience.

An intergenerational partnership between the Grove Nursing Home and students from St. Joseph’s Separate School brings together seniors and students.

The pleasurable dining experience is a strategy allowing clients the opportunity to choose their own meal and enjoying good food in the company of friends in a warm and inviting

It is an opportunity for students to hear stories about days passed, war efforts and much more.

Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home Adult Day Program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives.

Taking care of Diane became a full time job.

Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help.

Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a

Some of the services offered are: personal support (dressing, help with bathing, personal hygiene, nail care and hair washing); reminders to take medications; and, arranging attendance at medical appointments; shopping and other activities (light housekeeping, meal preparation and laundry).

This program is operated by Arnprior Regional Health and coordinated by the Grove Nursing Home and designed as one of several community outreach services operated by the Grove.

change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again.

Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience. With five extra hours in the day, he is able to accomplish so much more.

He can go shopping, visit family, and even get some extra sleep. He is able to do things for himself that he hasn’t been able to do in years.

With this break in the day, Ben is now able to enjoy the time that he does get with his wife.

The experience has drastically improved their relationship.

Ben says that without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the Grove, he wouldn’t be able to function and that he wouldn’t be able to go on. This program allows the couple to continue living together in their home, and that is the greatest gift that they could ask for.

Reports to the Community 2013-2014 CEO and Board Chair Report At Arnprior Regional Health change is now a constant within our transforming organization. Over the past few years our health care organization has grown and evolved to respond to our expanding and aging community. We have been fortunate to receive additional government funding to allow us to ensure more residents of our community receive care within our community as we remain focused on ensuring they receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place.

Improving access to services at Arnprior Regional Health has been done in tandem with achieving higher levels of patient, resident and client experience ratings and improved quality of care outcomes. Our team has focused on enhancing our skills, changing our structures and building a strong culture. The Board of Directors approved 14 strategic goals for 2013/14 which prioritized our efforts towards achieving our vision of being recognized for exemplary care. Our related targets for these goals were stretch targets, requiring our organization to achieve results not previously achieved. We are proud to report that we achieved 79% of the goals.

Arnprior Regional Health is one of Ontario’s first integrated health service corporations providing services across the continuum of care. Our hospital, nursing home, adult day program and community based assisted living services, which are all under the umbrella of Arnprior Regional Health, are well positioned to lead and champion Ministry of Health transformation initiatives such as health hubs and health links.

Funding provided by the Ministry of Health to support the long term sustainability of small rural hospitals allowed our corporation to make significant investments in the electronic patient record, the home first program, and a new medication management system. Our changing demographics and our continued focus to have more of our community retain their independence at home, helped us secure additional funding from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network to expand our Assisted Living Services and Adult Day Program.

Going forward we are excited to have two new family physicians join our team. In addition, the Board of Directors has completed a strategic review of the future scope of redevelopment for the Grove Nursing Home, and has endorsed a vision for a seniors’ health hub.

Achieving our vision cannot be done without further strengthening of our partnerships with organizations such as the Arnprior and District Family Health Team, Partners in Caring, the ARH Auxiliary, and other local health service providers.

This past year the efforts of our Board, Staff, Physicians and Volunteers have been acknowledged with three prestigious awards. First, the Studer Group – Award of Patient Excellence in Patient Care, recognizing our performance in retention of staff; second – Bronze - Quality Healthcare Workplace Award (partnership of the Ontario Hospital Association and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Health Force Ontario); and finally – Accreditation Canada – Accredited with Exemplary Status!

In closing, many thanks to our staff, physicians and volunteers for their engagement and commitment. Arnprior Regional Health is proud to provide exemplary care to our community!

Vice President of Patient and Resident Services Leah Levesque RN and Chief of Staff Dr. Christine Schriver work collaboratively in all areas of Patient Quality of Care.

We have had a very successful year at ARH, achieving 4 of our 5 quality goals. We are very proud of this achievement. Over the past year we have worked collaboratively with our partners to ensure that we are providing the right care in the right setting at the right time.

This past year, we have continued our work with the Family Health Team as we have seen the benefits for our patients who suffer from COPD and who have had fewer readmissions as a result of the Post Discharge COPD program.

Patients are referred to this program after they are discharged home and the program provides education on medication usage, energy conservation and healthy exercises.

Patients have an action plan that also assists them to know when they need to seek medical assistance before they get into a medical crisis.

We are currently working on an integrated CHF program with the Family Health Team that will again ensure that these patients have access to education to allow them to self-manage their chronic diseases with the support of their family physicians and family health team. Education starts in the hospital setting but transitions to the Family Health Team when the patients are discharged.

Another successful project was the Home First Project which is a partnership with the Community Care Access Center. Home First aims to support patients to return home on discharge prior to assessment for and/or admission to a Long Term Care (LTC) home or other appropriate care setting.

Home First requires a focus on providing the right care, at the right time, in the right setting and at the right cost to ensure successful transition back to the home/community setting.

It requires the adoption of a cultural change in health care organizations and a transformational shift within all health sectors from the traditional approach to care delivery for high needs seniors in our hospitals and communities.

We look forward to achieving the goals set forward for us in the upcoming year and are reassured by our current progress that we will achieve these goals.

A lot of changes have taken place on the PIC board this year. While we are a relatively young board we have managed to make great strides.

Partners in Caring - A Year in the Review Unexpected Deliveries

We are proud to say we have raised over $350,000 in 2013-2014. Signature events like the Tree Lighting Ceremony and A Knight in the Maritimes have not only increased the fundraising dollars but have also created an awareness of PIC in the community. We are building traction with our name and our brand.

Donations, third party events, in kind donations and now the Heart of Gold Club (Monthly Giving Program) have all helped increase the revenues of PIC. The Grateful Patient Program is the next element of our fundraising program and will be released over the summer.

Dr. Rachel Delong, RN’s Jen Crete and Lisa Philips are photographed with parents Shelley and Dan Albert and their daughter Julia. The Albert’s made a quick pitstop at ARH just in time to welcome daughter Julia. She is the first baby born in the emergency department since 2003. “The baby delivery went wonderfully.

Everybody worked well together and put the patient and husband at ease, despite perhaps being a little out of our comfort zones. It was a very exciting and positive experience” said Dr. Delong.

The success of our year would not be possible without the support of our community and the successful partnerships we have made over the years. The Tree Lighting Campaign grows each year and raised $23,000 in 2013. We honored a great community minded family, the Robillards last year, and had them flick the switch to light the trees.

A Supportive Community

We continue to encourage third party events (events run by you in support of us). Some of the third party events this past year were: Jim’s Restaurant Calendar Sales, Canada Day BBQ at East Side Mario’s, Danby Garden Tours, Ladies Shopping Event, Kinburn Seniors, Oktoberfest – Madawaska Golf Course, No Frills Smile Campaign, Tim Hortons Cookie Campaign, The Pakenham and Civitan Club Golf Day, Knights of Columbus and the Legion Euchre Tournament, the McLellan Golf Tournament and many more. Thank you!

In September the local banks helped us with Mardi Bra. December was our Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Through community support and attendance over $65,000 was raised through these events. Thank you.

In addition to purchasing several pieces of equipment last year (Baby Scale for Emergency Department, a lift at the Grove, 5 pain pumps, monitors for PACS in ER and PACS Workstation, two beds), Partners in Caring also continues to fund a bursary program in order to keep the best and brightest at ARH and continue to provide exemplary care.

The Auxiliary and the PIC board have established a memorandum of understanding based on mutual respect. This has created a great relationship with another like-minded organization sharing and supporting each other for a common goal.

In 2013, the community came out in full force to three Partners in Caring events. In May we hosted A Knight in the Maritimes with our partners the Knights of Columbus.

Bikers Helping Out The Old Bastard’s Motorcycle Club present to some of the nursing staff a $500 cheque for Partners in Caring. Old Bastards are: Owen and Helen Bird, Garry Anderson, Don Murack, Ron Boulanger, Harry St. Michael, and Jeff Banfield. Nursing staff photographed are: Amanda Lushman RPN, Megan Lavalee RPN, Rebecca Turcotte RN, Jordan Foy RPN, Nicole Lyon RN, and Louise Jamieson RPN. And just how did they get such an unusual name? The original club was based in a garage in historic Bastard and Burgess Township at Delta, Ontario.

Thank you to all the board members for your many volunteer hours you gave in forwarding our mission and making this a fundraising board I am very proud to be a part of. I look forward to working towards achieving new goals in my final year as chair.

Yours Truly, Lori Van Wyk Chair, Partners in Caring

$9,502.... and More.... Reasons to Smile For one week Tim Hortons guests purchased freshly baked Smile Cookies for $1 at both Arnprior locations.

“It’s amazing to see the difference $1 can make.

We are proud of our ongoing commitment to Partners in Caring and want to thank our loyal guests for their generous support of the Smile Cookie campaign year after year.”

Peter and Bonnie McCluskey Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners

The Kinburn & District Seniors donated $1000 at their October meeting. The funds were raised through a series of card tournaments.

“So many people from this area depend on Arnprior Regional Health for their medical needs,” said member Gerry Leveque.

A Busy Year for Auxiliary Volunteers Another year has flown by for The Auxiliary! There currently are 200 members who recorded 16244.5 volunteer hours in the past year.

The Opportunity Shop on John Street continues to be our largest fund raiser with sales up 13 % this past year. The shop contributes to the wellbeing of the community by providing clothing and household items at an affordable price. Last year the front of the shop received a facelift – new carpets, racking and fresh paint. There are regular special events such as quilt, art and purse auctions which generate higher revenues and a real buzz on John Street. The window dressing at the shop is an exciting addition to the landscape.

The Auxiliary Gift Shop is located on the ground floor of the hospital near the Diagnostic Imaging Department with approximately 30 volunteers. It offers seasonal gift items, confectionary and now ‘healthy eating’ snack options. Used books are a big draw at the gift shop bringing in the customers, raising funds and recycling in the community. Another source of fundraising dollars is the HELPP lottery. This is the break open tickets at the Giant Tiger on Elgin Street.

In addition to fundraising, these men and women help at Arnprior Regional Health. Our volunteers porter patients in the hospital, greet visitors & patients at B Entrance while encouraging all to observe good hand hygiene practice. The Activity volunteers, in Continuing Complex Care, make & serve home style breakfast and Dairy Queen treats while also helping with different activities and special events. The sewing committee repairs linens, remanufactures used materials, and makes comfort pillows for palliative care, hats for cancer patients and specialty items on request.

Volunteers help with both the resident activity program and The Adult Day Program at the Grove Nursing Home.

They help serve meals at special events and during the summer they serve ice cream and toppings donated by our local Arnprior Dairy Queen. The volunteers assist with church services, manicures, bible study, pet visiting, wheeling residents to activities, lunch and shopping outings, bingo, musical entertainment and birthday parties. Volunteers contribute greatly to the wellbeing of the residents and provide a community connection to the world outside of the Grove. Volunteers also assist in the Palliative Care Program at both locations.

This past year, The Auxiliary contributed $100,000 towards the McKesson Pac-Med Automated Pharmacy Dispensing System. The Auxiliary also contributed $2500 to Partners-in-Caring and $1693 to The Grove for a new audio system and some soft furnishings.

For details on how YOU can organize an event for the Partners in Caring, please contact Wendy Knechtel at 613-623-7962 x293 or wknechtel@arnpriorhealth.ca

New volunteers are welcomed in every activity of The Auxiliary.

This handsome guy is Truman!

Truman was brought in as a stray back in February, he had been fending for himself for quite some time. He was in rough shape, badly matted & full of cuts and scrapes, after a haircut & some TLC, he is now ready for adoption.

Truman is a sweet cat, he is affectionate, gentle & quiet, he loves attention. He is looking a home where he will be spoiled and loved for the rest of his life. Are you Truman’s forever family?!

Truman will be at the Arnprior Pet Valu this weekend, if you would like to meet him!

Ewe are so cute

News – The Pakenham beach opened June 30 with some supervised swims planned as a new offering this summer. “We’ve always had it set up, but we have had requests from the public to have supervised swims so we are going to address that this summer,� said Mississippi Mills recreation director Calvin Murphy. “There haven’t been lifeguards there for the last five years, so we will see how it goes and monitor it this summer.�

Supervised swims will be held at the Pakenham beach Mondays and Wednesdays from noon to 3 p.m.

The water at both the Pakenham and Almonte beaches will be tested each week to ensure it is safe to swim in and Murphy is hopeful for a good season. “Last year we only had a couple of days closed at both beaches,� said Murphy. “We are hoping that will be the case again this year.�

The Pakenham beach

will close Wednesday, Aug. 6.

PICNIC TABLES ADDED

The Pakenham and Almonte beaches will be the site of two of 10 new picnics tables being located throughout Mississippi Mills. Three of the tables are being set up near the Five Arch Bridge Park in Pakenham, while another one is at the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library.

The Town of Mississippi Mills’ beautification committee made the request for the additional tables. “When the Communities in Bloom judges visited last spring they recommended that we install more picnic tables throughout Mississippi Mills as well as replace the decrepit ones,� said committee chair Fern Martin, chair of the committee. “So we are delighted that town council approved the amount in the 2014 budget, and we hope that many more families enjoy their picnics by the river.�

Each table cost $120.

Her father’s little princess, Her mother’s baby girl, Her sister’s greatest confidante, Her brother’s cultured pearl.

A loving, caring, smiling girl.

A beauty from the start, The music she loved, her dearest friend, a country girl at heart.

Life is like the giant waves, That dip and curl and spin, We sometimes get caught up in that, and feel we just can’t win.

Why did those waves take her away?

I guess we’ll never know.

She had built a wall around herself, And let her troubles grow.

And now she’s in a greater place, In God’s loving gracious arms, An angel watching over us, A precious, priceless charm.

Celtic culture celebration shifts from McNab to Almonte this weekend Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Irish eyes will be smiling for the 18th annual Celtfest July 4 to 6 in Almonte.

After a Scottish Festival in McNabBraeside June 22, this weekend will feature Ottawa Valley and Celtic entertainment performers in Gemmill Park in Almonte.

“It’s such a fun time with an atmosphere of community and Celtic heritage through music, song and dance,” said chair Brenda Cain-Kealey.

“It’s a great free afternoon in the park, but we couldn’t do it without the generosity of donations at the gates and business sponsorships.”

In 1996, Celtfest started with 50 people at Gemmill Park and now 18 years later, still 100 per cent volunteer run, the festival attracts on average 3,000 to 5,000 people.

“Our real reason for doing this is to promote Celt culture,” said CainKealey. “We want people to take away from it a love for Celtic heri-

The festivals hours have been extended; the fun will run Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. In previous years, the event has started at 2 p.m.

“It’s even bigger this year,” said Cain-Kealey.

day Night Fiddlers, Elly Squared, The Ryans, the Sue Fay Healy Irish Dancers, Le Vent du Nord and the headliner is The American Rogues.

“They (The American Rogues) are Celt rock and put on a great show,” said Cain-Kealey. “They get you hand clapping and foot stomping and they get the audience involved, too.

The entire lineup is excellent!”

The popular Pub Night is back but new this year is a free shuttle bus to pubs in Almonte, so people can see all of the acts.

“This year we were lucky enough to get a Celebrate Ontario grant to enhance some of our programs and the Pub Night is one of the programs we are enhancing,” said Cain-Kealey.

“We thought the bus was a fun idea for people to be able to see all of the bands without walking and without driving. We have even hired a musician to entertain on the bus.”

Music in the pubs will take place from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and the bus will run every 15 minutes from 6:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.

There are five different locations providing big acts for the Friday night event: JR’s will host Brandy ‘n Port, the Almonte Legion will be jamming with Salty Dog, Corkery Road hits the stage at the Barley Mow, Naismith Pub will welcome Skirmish, and Love That Barr in Pakenham will have local favourites, Michael and Dave Ryan.

“All of these bands have played the main stage at Celtfest before,” said Cain-Kealey. “We want the people of Almonte to get into the feeling

for the event.”

Pub passports will also be available for $5 and when participants return the passport, they will receive a free beverage in the beer garden Saturday or Sunday.

Also new this year, there will be buskers in downtown Almonte on Mill Street, including face painters, a choir, fiddle music a balloon artist and more.

“It’s just a hop, step and a jump from the park,” said Cain-Kealey.

“We want to encourage people at the festival to check out the downtown core as well.”

Celtfest mascot Liam the Leprechaun will be at the festival again this year and his footprints will be painted from the park to downtown to encourage people to go back and forth. There will be a vendor alley featuring Celtic artists, a variety of food vendors, a kids zone, workshops Saturday and more.

All prices are cash prices with only the HST extra. Other charges may apply if finance option chosen, such as PPSA or other fees charged by the finance institution, Carproof, lien checks, or other charges that may be incurred when trading in a vehicle, discharging lien, or financing a vehicle. Many clients with less than perfect credit may qualify for rates as low as 3.99% but rates may vary based on credit history from 3.99 to 29.99%. Many institutions charge fees in addition to PPSA and those charges are passed on to the consumer.
