Hospital purchases new digital X-ray machine Procedure time to reduce by 25%; radiation between 30 and 50%
DEREK DUNN
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) hopes you never need an X-ray but if so they will gladly show you to the hospital’s new room and digital machine. About $1 million worth of new equipment has been purchased, thanks to ARH Foundation members raising money in the community. The largest single purchase is for the new electromagnetic radiation machine and room renovation. It cost $400,000; a single plate used to store the images costs $70,000. That made it worthy for a gathering of some 25 staff and foundation volunteers next to the emergency department on June 21, along with media and others. “An X-ray machine is a life-saving piece of equipment and I am grateful to all of you for your support,� said Vicki Hallas, manager of diagnostic imaging. “After all, there is nothing more important in our community than Derek Dunn/Metroland our health and the health of those we care about.� Members of the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation enjoy a tour of the renovated X-ray room and new machine at the hosSee X-RAY on page 5
pital. About $1 million worth of equipment was purchased over the last year.

GATE ADMISSION Adult $10 daily $20 weekend
Children 12 yrs + under Priceless Working dogs only
On June 26, trustees with the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) approved a budget of $134.9 million for the 2017-18 school year. Changes in the Grants for Student Needs, attrition, and energy expenditures limited the deficit to just $252,781. This shortfall will be funded from the board’s Accumulated Surplus Fund. “This budget demonstrates a sensible fiscal approach,” said RCDSB Chair Wendy Hewitt. “It honours our mission to provide a dynamic, inclusive, and respectful learning environment that supports and encourages individual achievement and well-being and sustains investments that benefit students and staff.” Budget 2017-18 sees an increase in expenditures of $6.4 million, which is an increase of five per cent over last year’s budget. The majority of this increase — $5 million — is a result of provincially-negotiated labour agreements with our unionized employee groups. This included increases to salaries, direct funding to a benefit trust, and additional staffing allocations
with the union groups. The board received additional grants over the past four years for Special Education, with $1.2 million being directed to provide additional programming resources. An increase of approximately $3 million has been earmarked for capital renewal projects, including new LED lighting at Mackenzie Community School and Champlain Discovery PS as well as replacement of an electrical substation at Opeongo High School. “This budget provides for stable enrolment year over year from budgetary perspective,” said Chair Hewitt. “It will allow us to continue to invest in our strategic priorities including expanding our Information Communication and Technology Plan across more schools, giving students more opportunities to hone their digital learning, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Similarly, we will introduce our Pathways to Thrive well-being initiative this fall which will benefit both students and staff,” concluded Hewitt. The approved budget will now be presented to the ministry.
Safety, wellness, equity highlight RCCDSB budget Safe, healthy, faithbased schools that encourage individual achievement, as well as equity and inclusiveness, are the focus for the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s 2017-18 budget. “The board is committed to providing a distinctive Catholic curriculum that seeks to nurture the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each student, while aligning with Ministry of Education goals,” said chair Dave Howard as he presented the new budget at Monday night’s board meeting. “This budget puts funding where it is most needed to provide the best education possible for all students across our Catholic education system.” Howard also pointed out that the school board is maintaining its enrolment numbers, which
indicates “our success in responding to our communities’ needs.” He added that the new budget complies with Ministry of Education guidelines to keep the board’s projected deficit, which will be covered by board surpluses, at no more than one per cent of its $68 million budget. The board’s theme for 2017—2018, according to Howard, is to “sustain safe school environments characterized by warmth, hospitality, good humour and joy, as well as ensuring students reach their full potential.” The board also will continue working on its 2016—2017 theme “to make a difference as faith-filled community builders,” he added. In order to align mental health and wellness priorities with safe schools programming, Howard said the board has realigned these pri-
orities under one supervisory officer to better streamline our efforts. In addition, the board is using $600,000 from the Ministry of Education to enhance staffing and support programs. It also is investing approximately $800,000 in special education in addition to the funding model, as well as a dedicated teaching position reporting to a supervisory officer to lead indigenous education programming. A total of $2.5 million will be spent on capital projects, according to Howard, for updates to windows and exterior doors on some schools, as well as installing electronic signs, a heat pump at one school, and electric upgrades at two others. Space pressures in the Renfrew-Arnprior family of schools will also be reviewed and addressed, Howard noted.
X-ray machine to be used about 10,000 times Continued from page 2
Many think an X-ray machine is simply for broken bones. Hallas said it is often the first step in diagnosing disease, too. About 10,000 examinations were performed last year. “Every day we see patients with different issues arrive in our department.” She had the group imagine a patient named James, who has not been feeling well for a few days. His dry cough won’t go away. The nonsmoker had no fever, so the doctor orders a chest X-ray. The results are not good. He’s in the early stages of lung cancer. The good news is he gets an early start on treatment. Another, Chris, a forester, falls from a ladder and is rushed to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital (ADMH). He has significant neck pain
and is brought to the X-ray room by stretcher. The standard X-ray is followed by two special views. The latter reveals a fractured neck. He gets a CT-scan that day, followed by surgery to fuse his spine. The tests allowed doctors to stabilize and protect the spinal column. Now that ADMH has digital technology, the images are very precise and uploaded immediately to the hospital computer system for quicker viewing by the physician or radiologist. Dr. Frank Lee is a radiologist working most of his time from the Ottawa General Hospital. He is in Arnprior less frequently. With digital technology, he can see results on his computer instantly, regardless which office he is in. “Sometimes the simplest test can lead to the best care,” Lee said. “I’m glad to say film is gone and not coming back.”

Lowell Green visits Town of Arnprior to promote latest book JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Radio legend Lowell Green stopped into the Metroland Media office June 20 and recalled some of his favourite memories of the Ottawa Valley playing baseball for the Happy Blunders in Arnprior and Renfrew Fair remote broadcasts. Green was in the area to deliver the fourth box of his new book Amazing But True! 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada to A Sense of Country and the Arnprior Book Shop. As to why someone from the Valley should read the book, he lays it out quite frankly. “They are a part of Canada and we Canadians don’t tell our stories enough,” said Green. The book contains 150 true stories about Canada and its amazing people that have probably never been heard before, thanks to unique research by the author. It’s certainly a must-read for every Canadian, said Green. The author who has researched and written this 314-page book is none other than radio personality Lowell Green, a West Carleton resident who lives just a stone’s throw outside of Stittsville. But, Green doesn’t just tell the stories — he tells each one from a unique perspective.
For instance, he tells about the death and destruction in Toronto in 1954 caused by hurricane Hazel. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of Toronto. But, Green zeroes in on what happened on Raymore Drive, a residential street beside the Humber River where flood waters swept away entire houses within minutes, ultimately killing 35 people. It was all because a small footbridge across the Humber River was not totally swept away and remained to direct the raging river onto the nearby street. He tells the story of the development of the Red Fife strain of wheat, which allowed Canada’s west to become vast wheat fields. It’s not a story not of laboratory research, but of a few grains of wheat trapped under the hatband of a Scottish man and a friend of David Fife, a farmer near Peterborough. These “hatband” grains eventually produce five stalks of top quality wheat for Fife, but a cow eats them — all except for one stalk. Fife uses the grains from this one stalk to eventually develop the best, hardiest early maturing wheat in the Submitted world.

developer, John McIntosh. He lost his beloved to death and decided to farm as close as possible to her grave site. On that land, he discovered apple tree saplings that led to the McIntosh apple of today. And on it goes. There’s the story of one sole RCMP officer convincing Sitting Bull to return to the United States from his refuge in Canada. He tells the tale of how an old felt hat saved the life of a Hudson’s Bay store employee who was earmarked to be killed, just like others, in what is known as the Frog Lake Massacre of the Riel Rebellion. One of the stories in the book is about the Belcher Islands massacre in Canada’s far north, which Green calls one of Canada’s most gruesome mass murders. And so it goes for all 150 stories in this book. They are stories either told from a unique perspective or stories that are relatively unknown to Canadians. Green even includes his own four personal stories involving Prime Minister John Diefenbaker with whom he had, in his own words, a “love/hate relationship” over the years. One of these stories involves the Diefenbunker in Carp. See STORIES, page 7

From page 6
All of the stories are brief, usually just two pages in the book. All of them are written to be read in two minutes or less, with the reader able to read them in whatever order strikes their fancy. One might choose to read about the Miraculous Survival on the Island of Demons — all about a beautiful, young French woman who survived abandonment on a remote island off the northern tip of Newfoundland. Her picture, dressed in a bear hide, graces the front cover of the book. Other stories bear titles like The Grandest Canyon, One Tough Woman!, Totem Pole Pride, The Potato Accord, The Savage’s Wig, The Water Superhighway, Canadian Camels, The Great Bluenose Boondoggle, The Pianoman!, 9/11 and the Stanley Cup, You’re not legal, you’re a Woman!, Forget the Red Baron!, The Almost Pig War, The Duelist, The Kidnapping, The Best Damn Satellite in Space, Marilyn Bell, Pirates of the Thousand Islands, The Newfoundland Florence Nightingale, Goodbye Colonel By and The Avro Arrow Mystery. As is stated on the book’s fly-leaf, “It’s all here. One hundred and fifty of the most interesting, wildest, craziest, far out, believe it or not stories about Canada ever published. This is not trivia. These are true stories about a country and its amazing people that you’ve probably never heard before, often because Lowell has
done the research no one else has ever done before. You will be intrigued, shocked, amused and always entertained, and yes, you’ll learn some pretty amazing but true things about this country.” This book had its genesis when Green was visiting Lunenburg in Nova Scotia two summers ago. He was recognized there by a person who told him about Mona Parsons of Wolfville, N.S., who had an unbelievable experience in the Second World War and has a statue honouring her erected in Wolfville. Green looked into the Mona Parsons story, which is his self-proclaimed favourite story in the book, entitled From Chorus Girl to Hero. But, the story got him thinking that there are probably a lot of stories involving Canadians that people do not know about. His wife then suggested that he compile 150 of these stories and publish them in time for Canada’s 150th birthday. It took Green a year and a half to research and write the stories that are now found in this book, which is entitled Amazing But True!: 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada. Green, who is now retired from his fulltime radio job, still does a 15-minute segment on CFRA Radio each weekday morning. While researching and writing this book, he would do this segment, have breakfast, and then spend the rest of the day doing research and writing for the book.
He admits that the final 50 stories took a lot of research to produce the kind of story that he wanted to populate this book. He did it, but adds that he was “pretty well pooped” at the end of the process. He does admit that Google was a great help in doing the research, as it provided access to information and newspaper accounts that proved invaluable in compiling the stories. The book has been released for a couple of weeks now, and Green — an author of 10 other books which have all been top sellers — feels that this new book will be his most successful ever. He says that it is more than just a book, but rather is “a keepsake” for Canada’s 150th birthday. He believes that readers will not only learn about Canada by reading the book, but they will come to realize that Canada’s history is far from bland, and as shown in these 150 stories, it’s really exciting. The artwork in the book, including the front cover artwork and the artwork which accompanies many of the stories, was done by his son, Jeremy Milbank. The book, which sells for $26.95, is available at Chapters as well as various independent outlets around the area. The book, which has been published by Spruce Ridge Publishing, Green’s own publishing company, is also available at the website https://lgreen.ca.

Graduates have what it takes Last week was high school graduation time. Mortarboards and gowns, that traditional graduation garb, set the fashion trend for the week as Grade 12 graduates at every high school strode and received a secondary school diploma from a principal, vice-president or teacher, with beaming smiles all around. These smiles were not only on the stage, but throughout the audience, on the faces of proud teachers, parents, family members and friends of the graduates. These secondary school graduation diplomas represent more than just the successful completion of 14 years of schooling, starting with junior kindergarten and continuing through to Grade 12. Quite simply, these diplomas represent the future. You only had to be at one of these high school graduation ceremonies to appreciate not only the accomplishments of these graduates to date, but also the unprecedented opportunities that await them in the coming years. Whether they are off to university, college or the world of work, these graduates have before them endless possibilities for further personal growth and additional learning. Whether it is in nursing, law, social work, interior decorating, software development, animation, marketing, engineering, construction or any other field of endeavour, these young graduates have been armed with all of the tools necessary to succeed in their chosen pathway. But more than this, this generation of graduates has developed a sense of social justice
and community volunteering that will ensure a future that is not only more compassionate, but more participatory. That’s because the high school education of today goes beyond just the “three R’s” and the curriculum. In high school, youth get to know about taking responsibility for this world of ours, for preserving it and for making it a better place to live, work and play. They get to know how to do this in part thanks to the clubs and extracurricular activities in which they participate in their high school years. But they also know how to do this because, besides their learning, they have developed what it takes to succeed in today’s world — skills like collaboration, digital fluency, critical thinking, resiliency, perseverance and empathy. They are globally aware. They respect and accept others for who they are. They are ready to make a difference in the world, not only with their learning, but also with who they have become on their journey through the education system to date. This all gives so much hope, not only for where society is headed in the future, but also for seeing how our goals and aspirations as a country of communities are going to be realized. It will all happen because of these young people who this past week strode across a stage to receive a secondary school diploma. They have what it takes to take us to the next level as a country and as a society. We can’t wait for it to happen!
Canada Post should be more mindful of retirement community To the editor:
On a cold wintry day I went to the Arnprior Post Office to post a letter, guess where the letterbox is located, up the slippery stairs and not on the curb where I expected it. Frustrated at the letterbox placement, I sent a complaint notice via Facebook to the mighty and all-powerful Canada Post asking them to move the letter box to the curb, a simple fix one would think. A few days later I received a call from the local office saying if the capital budget is approved they will be fixing
the stairs and ramp at the entrance, maybe this summer. Great news I said but just move the box - well ‘no’ says the spokesperson we are just fixing the stairs/ramp. Next I wrote a letter to the Canada Post CEO, Mr. Deepak Chopra at CP Headquarters, 2701 Riverside Dr. Ottawa, ON K1A 0B1 asking for his help in moving the box to the curb. Two weeks later I received a reply from Lucie Manoni, director presidential affairs saying ‘Thank you, we will look into in and will promptly get back to you.”
On June 7, I received a letter from Doug Ettinger, chief communication officer, thanking me for writing however the Arnprior mailbox location meets the corporate guidelines nevertheless we remain committed to our customers at all times. Ettinger provided no details on the guidelines. One would think that Canada Post here in retirement community may be a tad more thoughtful towards seniors and infirmed customers using their service.

Unwisely spent tax dollars an accident waiting to happen To the editor Tax dollars spent on infrastructure are money well spent as it benefits us all. However if the funds are spent unwisely we suffer for a long time. Take John Street for example. It’s an accident looking for a place to happen. When you parallel park you
have to back up over a curb and in the winter when the driver gets out the driver may slip on this same curb. Hello emergency! When cars are parked on both sides of the street and two cars are coming in opposite directions a driver getting out of his parked car may
lose his door! Hello insurance company. In short the road is too narrow and the sidewalks are too wide! If you add up the width of the sidewalks on both sides they are wider than the road itself! Also the shrunken intersection at Elgin and John will make it
too tight for fire trucks and other large vehicles to make the turn. A better balance between pedestrian friendly and driver friendly should have been achieved. People drive to the business’ they don’t walk! Jim Silye Arnprior
Arnprior Market should be relocated away from John Street To the editor: I grew up on a farm and understand the value of hard work and the large role the agriculture industry plays in our economy and our lives. I support our local farmers and the Arnprior Market, I love the atmosphere, people are friendly, it brings a sense of community to the area, and I think that’s really important. I want to enable the market to thrive, and for us to do so, I believe relocating the market to a more suitable location will ultimately attract more locals and farmers to the market and help reinvigorate the area. Numerous issues are to blame, including years of continued construction in the area, road closures, detours, and already scarce parking reroutes traffic away from the area causing many issues over parking availability and access to the downtown sector resulting in a loss of income for many businesses. Yet the best idea the town and BIA could come up with as the most suitable location for the market is to further worsen the problem by closing yet another main access road and further taking away more parking spots. How is the market going to help bring more people and income to businesses when the town has made it difficult for these people to access the downtown sector? I’m not against the market, revitalizing Arnprior is great but not at the cost of losing existing businesses who have been in our community for 30 years or more. We’re not at a point where we can entertain a Sunday market when we can’t meet the parking needs of our current businesses’ customers. The social goals of creating a vibrant meeting place,
to offer a venue for entrepreneurs, and the commitment to locally available products are worthwhile pursuits but not at the destruction of pre-existing businesses. Businesses that are open on Sundays require access to parking for their customers, particularly during construction with so many road closures eating up valuable parking spaces.

Customers don’t shop downtown because of parking, road closures Continued from page 9
I have received several complaints from customers who say they don’t shop downtown anymore because parking and road closures are such a problem on Sundays making accessibility to the restaurant and other businesses difficult, especially for the elderly and handicapped who find it arduous to get through the congestion created by the construction and the market road closures. Other business owners I have spoken with are also concerned with the market being located on the roadway in front of their shops because it displaces parking and storefront visibility. All businesses rely on good visibility and accessibility to ensure a steady stream of customers. The weekend is the busiest time of the week; we can’t financially afford to lose our Sunday customers. The town has stated that they want to bring more people in, but how do they plan on doing that without enough parking to sustain the area in its current condition? Tourists are going to drive to Arnprior not walk or bike. You’re not going to be walking up from Renfrew or Ottawa etc. You’re going to be driving there. The current location of the market is out of sight and out of mind to the vast majority of even locals, let alone tourists. How does the town and BIA ex-
pect people to access the market when there isn’t enough parking available to support pre-existing businesses let alone a venture such as a market? Just as supermarkets require parking, parking is a required element for a successful market or any business. Most other markets in Canada offer some form of parking realizing that this is an essential service that needs to be provided to attract visitors. I and other downtown business owners feel that relocating the market to a more suitable location is the best solution to the construction and parking problem. The recent business boom in town, including new bars and restaurants, has made parking difficult to find during peak times while construction proceeds. Relocating the market would open up the road again providing more accessibility to local business and free up 26 spaces during hours of operations. The John St. Pub, The Lumbertown Ale House, Krave Bistro, Giant Tiger etc. didn’t pay thousands of dollars for parking so that the town can turn around and rent out whatever available parking is left on Sundays to vendors from the market. I’d like to propose that our Sunday market move to the municipal property where the CPR railway tracks used to be located on William Street. The large section of land was originally intended for the market, already has plumbing and electrical outlets
with plenty of parking space for customers. This new location’s proximity to Daniel Street and John Street would create visibility of the market to potential customers and could bring in vehicle traffic, even if people don’t know about the market they can easily see it just by driving by it. It has the possibility to be bigger, better, more accessible, and developed in a way that brings its success to the downtown sector as the market grows away from competition/conflict of interest with nearby businesses. Other potential locations include
the Arnprior Fairgrounds with ample space and convenient parking; The Robert Simpson Park is a great location for children to play while adults shop and socialize or the parking lot not being used on Sundays at the Public Library. Most municipal markets are located on municipal land, including parks, and underutilized buildings. Having it in our business core is a way to increase the vitality of the area, no question; however, I only support increasing the vitality if it’s consistent with supporting our existing taxpaying businesses.
Slow down
Typical small town politics, anything that the town thinks they can improve, they make worse. Our residents are the heart of our community and we must preserve and support everyone’s needs in order to create a community we can all be proud of. We need to make a movement towards strengthening the local businesses in our community rather than weaken them with ideas that have not been properly implemented. Dennis Xidous Arnprior

This blanding turtle was sighted on the trails in Arnprior. It is on the endangered list.
Entertainment came by way of goat during a visit to the neighbours Evelyn wasn’t the most popular girl at the Northcote School. She wasn’t unpopular, either. She was just there, minding her own business, doing exactly what Miss Crosby asked of her, and always had her homework done, and her desk drawer in perfect order. Evelyn wasn’t much of a talker, either. So, although we knew her family as neighbours, I knew little about what Evelyn did at home. Did she play with dolls? Did she have a pet cat, or a pet chicken like I did? I knew she worked hard at the farm, an only child with no brothers to help with chores. But, what Evelyn did at home for fun, I didn’t know — until the day I was invited to her farm on a warm Saturday to play. I was thrilled beyond words. Finally, I would find out what my schoolmate did when she wasn’t at school. Like our farm, there was a long lane off the Northcote Side Road, and Father took me over in the buggy and dropped me off at the gate leading into the barnyard. Mother sent some sticky buns, as was the custom then. When one visited for the first time, a jar of jam or some other little treat went with you. Evelyn was waiting for me at the gate, and she 14 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 6, 2017
front foot, and looked like it defied anyone brave enough to challenge it. How it got on the roof was beyond me. “You heard me, Buster. Get off the roof.” She grabbed a branch on the ground, which looked to me like it was always at hand to deal with the goat, which seemed to have a mind of its own. She swung the branch over her head in the air. “He’s already torn the shingles off one side of the house, and my father said if I couldn’t control him, he was going to sell him to the butcher in Renfrew.” Well, Buster either knew of the threat over his head or he didn’t trust Evelyn with the branch. He made one leap and landed on all fours in front of us. Then, he turned his back on Evelyn, made a snort and kicked her with his back feet, sending her sprawling — and then the chase was on. The two of them tore around the barnyard like two maniacs in a race for survival. Every time Evelyn got near Buster, he raised his hind legs and defied her to come any closer. It was obvious this wasn’t the first time Buster and Evelyn met horns. Finally, Buster ran toward a back field, and

led me right to the kitchen to say hello to her mother and hand over the sticky buns. When we went outside, I was impressed to see that Evelyn had a playhouse, filled with a makebelieve stove and real little table and chairs. This little playhouse was right outside the summer kitchen, and Evelyn said she often had her lunch out there, which to me was right up there with a trip to the movies on a Saturday night. Imagine, eating your lunch in your very own little playhouse. Then, Evelyn looked up at the summer kitchen roof, and in a voice that sounded as mad as a hatter’s, yelled at the top of her lungs, “Buster, you get off that roof this minute.” There, on the very top of the summer kitchen, was a goat — almost the size of a pony. It just glared down at Evelyn, stomped its
Evelyn very carefully put the branch right back where it was when the fight began, ready for the next challenge with the goat. I asked Evelyn how Buster got onto the roof. She said she had no idea, and neither did anyone else. No one knew how he managed the leap, and she lost count of the times the goat did it. She thought he took a running leap when no one was around, and her father said the goat was too smart for its own good, and if one more shingle was ever seen on the ground, Buster would be taking the trip into Renfrew in the truck. During my short visit, I heard that Evelyn’s pet cat never left the barn since one day Buster kicked it about 10 feet into the air. I asked her if she considered Buster a pet. We were eating cookies in her playhouse. “I did when he was little. But, not anymore. And if he gives me one more kick like that last one, I’ll help Pop load him into the truck myself.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2017
Together,w e create a healthy com m unity. Community Impact Report Arnprior & Area Rural Eric Hanna, President and CEO Health Hub (AARHH) 20 1 6 - 2 0 1 7
We know that having access to local healthcare services saves our citizens from having to travel into the city. We also know it helps local industry attract a strong workforce, provides community infrastructure upon which others can build, and ultimately, a community where people want to live!
S
eventy-three years ago on June 9, 1944, the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital was incorporated. Since that time, our organization has impacted the lives of thousands of people within our growing and aging community. Whether it was your first job at the hospital, your first emergency department visit, or perhaps you were born here… many of us remember the impact of that first time you knew of the hospital.
Today we are a very different organization as our services have evolved to meet the growing needs of our community; in fact, we are more than just a hospital. Our nursing home, the Grove, opened on October 9, 1981 first accepting residents transferred from a temporary 11-bed nursing home unit at the hospital. The Grove is now poised for expansion from 60 beds to 96. In addition to the traditional hospital and long-term care services, our organization now provides a comprehensive array of community services, which includes an adult day program and assisted living services. These changes in program growth and our relentless pursuit of quality care has helped us achieve our new vision – “Together, we create a healthy community”.
More than 340 dedicated employees provide the outstanding care that our patients/ residents/clients receive. This year the staff at Arnprior Regional Health reported their overall engagement as being 73.2%, an increase of more than 20% from seven years ago. We know that engaged staff result in better clinical outcomes and higher levels of patient/resident/client satisfaction. Arnprior Regional Health could not be successful without the numerous partnerships we have built and the generosity of our many donors. Whether it is through the Patient Family Advisory Council, Rural Health Hub or Health Links we are proud to acknowledge the participation of volunteers, physicians, patients, clients, residents, and caregivers, as they are instrumental in ensuring we are responsive to the needs of our community. To continue to be successful we will increase the number of opportunities to engage our community. One example is the partnership with local seniors on the development of the Rural Seniors Health Care Village. This “village” will provide our senior population with the health services they need at the local level.
O
ur team at Arnprior Regional Health lives the values of Honesty, Accountability, Respect and Teamwork, and these values provide the foundation for all of us to foster a healthier community. Arnprior Regional Health embarked on this initiative due to its importance on many levels. The AARHH focuses on improving the experience of care for both the recipients and the providers; the population health status of the Arnprior area community; and improving the coordination of local services along the care continuum. Arnprior Regional Health is the lead for the AARHH; however, the approach has been the “Five Working as One”: • Arnprior Regional Health • Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program Inc. • Arnprior and District Family Health Team • Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) • Renfrew County and District Health Unit In addition, the “Five Working as One” relied on the expertise of two family physicians – Drs. Cynthia Morrison and Jonathan Fitzsimon – and two patients.

Arnprior & Area Rural Health Hub (AARHH) cont’d “I participate in initiatives like the Health Hub because I really truly believe they can make a difference in the lives of my patients and I know that there really needs to be the voice of a family physician at the table.” Dr. Cynthia Morrison “The development of the Rural Health Hub has proved to be an excellent process of bringing together patients, health care providers and health administrators. We have carefully and systematically looked at and listened to different views on what our goals should be and the obstacles we face in achieving them in regard to the prevention, diagnosis and management of diabetes and COPD. There is no denying that it can be a challenge for a family physician to commit the significant amount of time required to a process like the Rural Health Hub, whilst continuing to care for patients in office and in hospital. However, I hope that our contribution will help to bring about improvements to patient care and clinical outcomes as we continue our mission to achieve excellence through working partnerships.” Dr. Jonathan Fitzsimon These five service providers have come together to conduct the investigation, planning and implementation of a rural health
hub that is focused on improving the patient experience and the health status of our community through an improved integrated health serves and experience models of collaboration. The two health issues that have been the focus of this partnership are Diabetes and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Achievements reached during FY16-17: ü Establishment of an innovative co-design methodology for rural health system planning specific to chronic disease ü Review of best practices in rural and chronic disease models of care relevant to AARHH ü New linkages developed with external stakeholders in surrounding regions who have indicated willingness to support AARHH in the launch of their priority multi sector projects ü A comprehensive Action Planning Toolkit with priority selected change projects that inform a future care delivery and experience model Through each step of this initiative, the AARHH Steering Committee has been actively involved in leading, guiding and supporting this initiative. The Steering Committee has endorsed the work to date and confirmed their commitment and support for the next phase of this initiative, which will involve ownership by the region to begin planning and initiating and evaluating priority multi sector projects.
Technology and Your Health
T
his past year ARH made a change in heart monitoring technology. The first stage of heart evaluation is typically an electrocardiogram (ECG). This test captures the electrical activity of the heart over a short period. If the physician feels further investigation is required, they request a loop or Holter monitor.
ARH has replaced all loop monitors with 14-day Holter monitors. The reason we made these changes was for ease of use for our patients. The loop monitors required the patient to press a button any time they had symptom. This would record the data around that episode. The patient would then need to use a land telephone line to transmit the data from the device to the heart institute. Since many people no longer have a land telephone line this created an access issue. In addition, data was only being recorded when the patient was awake and around when they had a symptom. This made the clinical decision of changing the technology to a 14-day continuous Holter monitor an easy one. Now our patients wear this devise as prescribed by their physician for 24 hours to 14 days. While the patient is wearing it, the devise continuously records their heart rhythm. All the information saves to a memory card and is then downloaded at ADMH and then sent to Queensway Carleton Hospital. Their cardiology department reviews the information and then prepares a report. The ordering physician with the patient then reviews this report.

ast summer two new family physicians joined the ARH team due to the recruiting efforts of The Arnprior Physician Recruitment Committee. Dr. Michael Fishman joined the Arnprior and District Family Health Team on August 1. Dr. Fishman has hospital privileges at in addition to Arnprior Regional Health, In hospital privileges at Arnprior Regional Health, he became the primary care physician for the majority of retiree Dr. Mark Robson’s family medicine practice. Dr. Shi also has hospital privileges at ARH where he provides inpatient care and anesthesia coverage. Dr. Shi also took on some of Dr. Robson’s practice as well as new patients. We asked them to reflect on their experience at ARH over the last year and this is what they told us. “What I’m really liking at ARH is the diversity of work I get to do. I get to see and develop relationships with my patients in my office and I also get to work in the operating room as an anesthesiologist. It really is the best of both worlds.” Dr. H. Shi “What has impressed me this past year is the level of collaboration between the physician group, nurses, allied health professionals and office staff. Everyone is working together to provide the best possible health care to this community. So many people have made me feel welcome and really made my first year at ARH a great one.” Dr. M. Fishman

A Seniors’ Village Here in Arnprior

“Focus groups and interviews with residents of the Grove nursing home and seniors and caregivers in the community were held. Listening to their stories helped us to understand the healthcare experiences of seniors, residents and caregivers.”
n keeping with the Champlain LHIN vision and mandate to integrate the health system at a local level, Arnprior Regional Health (The Grove) and Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors at Home Program collaborated for the Meals on Wheels Program. Together we supply fresh daily Hot Meals to seniors 60 years of age or older, adults who are chronically ill, adults living with a disability, adults convalescing from surgery or illness, and adults undergoing medical treatments (no matter the age). Hot Meals on Wheels includes hot nutritious meals cooked fresh daily at The Grove and include: soup, crackers, hot main course, dinner roll and dessert. This past year 4495 meals were prepared and delivered.

Arnprior Regional Health together with the community is committed to ensure that seniors in the greater Arnprior Region can grow old near families and loved ones. Currently the Grove nursing home has too few beds to serve a community of our size and the government has mandated that all nursing homes must upgrade to modern standards by 2025. Our plan includes an additional 36 nursing home bed licenses so we can expand and redevelop the existing

or its winning entry – the “Personalized iPod Project” – The Grove partnered with Arnprior Public Library to raise $4,100 in order to provide each of The Grove’s residents with an iPod and a personalized music playlist. Residents use their personalized iPod to listen to their favourite music, which helps improve their behaviours and, ultimately, their care.
The Grove initially surveyed each resident to discover his or her music preferences. Then, the home turned its attention to promoting the fundraising campaign to the community. The Grove held a green-screen photo shoot with residents at the library to help with marketing. Once the campaign went public, the Arnprior community jumped on board. People began dropping off used iPods to the library. The Arnprior Rotarians donated $500. In addition,
musician Craig Cardiff held a concert with half of the proceeds going to The Grove. By October 2016 – only six months after the idea was born – the fundraising goal was met, and each of The Grove’s 61 residents had a personalized iPod and playlist. Providing each resident with a personalized iPod has enhanced the resident experience and has raised awareness about the power of music in senior care. The program has now expanded to the community after library patrons began asking to borrow devices for family members with dementia living at home, in seniors’ residences, and other long-term care homes. “Through its Personalized iPod Project, The Grove has shown the Arnprior community how it is improving resident wellbeing and is advancing senior care,” says Catharine Gapp, AdvantAge Ontario CEO. “We are proud to recognize The Grove with this special award.”
facility to accommodate 96 residents. This includes re-purposing the facility to include seniors housing and community support services for the elderly. The goal is two-fold: to increase the capacity of the Grove nursing home and to develop a Seniors’ Village in our community to meet the growing needs of our senior’s population. Throughout the year, many meetings and conversations between Arnprior Regional Health and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care have occurred to advocate for 36 additional licenses to kick-start the Grove Redevelopment. The Help The Grove Grow post card campaign has been successfully rolled out to show the community support for the need for 36 additional licenses to government representatives. We have collected almost 3000 post cards and the recently launched E-Petition totaled several hundred signatures to date (visit www.helpthegrovegrow.ca). Our advocacy efforts, for additional licenses, are being heard at Queens Park and we are hopeful that the government will make those licenses available to commence the Redevelopment of the Grove and Seniors’ Village in the very near future. Focus groups and interviews with residents of the Grove nursing home and seniors and caregivers in the community were held. Listening to their stories helped us to understand the healthcare experiences of seniors, residents and caregivers. Their input will assist us to map out what services are missing and how the Grove Redevelopment and Seniors’ Village. Participants of focus groups were very engaged and excited to be part of the process. “Thanks for listening. We are finally heard,” said one participant.

The Arnprior Regional & Ottawa West (AROW) Health Link
T
he AROW Health Link puts clients with the most complex needs at the center of care. It links clients and families with family doctors, specialists, and local healthcare and community service providers to work as a team. A dedicated care coordinator supports the creation of an integrated care plan based on the client’s goals. Arnprior Regional Health is proud to lead the Health Link. The AROW Health Link wraps care around the most vulnerable clients in our region to ensure they are receiving the care and support they need. Benefits include better, more coordinated care, reduced ER visits and hospital readmissions, and better transitions in care. The AROW Health Link brings together more than 30 local organizations and care providers who work together to support clients with complex needs. In addition, more than 40 volunteer client partners were recruited to serve as ambassadors for the program. In the past year, more than 185 clients have been supported through coordinated care plans. Five Health Link Service Level Agreements have been signed with local healthcare agencies to support this work. And three financial strategies are being implemented to ensure the sustainability of the program. The AROW Health Link has developed three neighbourhoods of activity to support improved coordination. Through a grant from the Ontario Centres of Excellence Health Technology Fund, an evaluation project will bring innovative tablet technology right into the client’s home. Clients can connect with their circle of care to allow for one-on-one and group video care conferencing.
Connecting with Local Community Services for Better Care
L
ocal health care partners are sharing information for better care, thanks to a new pilot project led by the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals (CAsH). Community support services say the enhanced communication will make a difference for clients in the region, as well as for their own staff and volunteers.
When a patient comes to the Emergency Department or is admitted to the hospital, care providers need vital information, including what care that patient may be receiving at home. Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) links with the Ontario Association of Community Care Access Centres (OACCAC) and the former Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC)* to ensure that admission information is automatically shared between the hospital information system and the CCAC database. Now that dialogue is being extended to local health partners. 18 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 6, 2017
As part of the pilot project, the Arnprior Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program is also connected though the Champlain Community Support (CSS) system. The CCAC and CSS agencies are notified when a client is admitted to the Emergency Department. The hospital then receives notification if the client is currently receiving CCAC services. Finally, notification is sent to the CCAC when a patient is discharged, to ensure follow-up and the resumption of services. A similar process occurs with the Seniors at Home Program. “Health Quality Ontario has identified transitions in care as being a great opportunity to ensure an improved patient experience. This ‘e-connection’ with both the CCAC and Home Support will ultimately result in a better patient experience and potentially reduce readmissions to hospitals and shorten length of stay,” notes Eric Hanna, ARH CEO. “We are excited to be the first hospital to connect with a local community partner through the e-notification program.”
“We wanted to work with Arnprior Regional Health to use communication to better our services and this makes sense,” agrees Dennis Harrington, Executive Director of the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program. “We are very pleased with the format and the timely arrival of information. And this will be beneficial to many more agencies in the future.” The new program offers many benefits. Emergency physicians are able to make care decisions with more information at hand. For example, a physician may be able to avoid admitting a patient or possibly discharge a patient earlier, knowing that there are CCAC or community supports in place at home. Likewise, the CCAC and local community agencies are now advised when clients have had a hospital visit, allowing them to plan their services more efficiently. Having this knowledge means that service providers are able to suspend or cancel services as required. They no longer arrive at a client’s door unaware of the change and wondering if something has happened. This is particularly useful for volunteer-driven organizations with limited resources. To date, Arnprior Regional Health, Kemptville District Hospital and Renfrew Victoria Hospital are on board with the e-notification program with the CCAC, with one local CSS agency connected so far. Plans are underway to add other agencies in the future. Currently, the majority of community support agencies are on the same client information system, which will make it easier to add them. Data is transferred in a secure format to protect patient privacy. ABOUT the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals (CAsH) This initiative is one of several IT integration projects led by the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals (CAsH). Enhanced integration will result in an improved patient experience, better care and cost effective service delivery. Our vision is to develop innovative rural health delivery options and to advocate for strengthened rural health. CAsH includes eight member hospitals: Almonte General Hospital, Arnprior Regional Health, Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital, Deep River and District Hospital, Glengarry Memorial Hospital, Kemptville District Hospital, Renfrew Victoria Hospital and St. Francis Memorial Hospital. *Please note that the CCAC has since re-branded to Home and Community Care.
Smoking Cessation Partnership
ARH Auxiliary News
A
A
rnprior & District Memorial Hospital celebrated ten years of partnership with the Ottawa Heart Institute’s Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC). Since implementation of the OMSC at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital, over 900 smokers have been reached through personalized, best practice tobacco dependence treatment, resulting in increased quit attempts and long-term cessation. An estimated 300 smokers are smoke-free because of the support they received while at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital.
“The success behind the Ottawa Model for Smoking cessation is truly found in the determined teams across Canada, like here in Arnprior, that are providing personalized support to smokers who are trying to quit,” said Dr. Andrew Pipe, co-developer of the OMSC and Chief of the Division of Prevention and Rehabilitation at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. “As all hospital grounds in Ontario will be required to be smoke-free by January 2018, helping patients deal with nicotine withdrawal when they are admitted and stay smoke-free when they leave will remain an important priority for hospitals in our region.”
nother busy and productive year has gone by for the ARH Auxiliary. The Opportunity Shop, In-Hospital, Sewing, Grove and HELPP volunteers all contributed to another successful volunteer year.
Congratulations to Ron Anglin who received the Provincial Life Membership Certificate for 2016. Two longtime volunteers retired this past year. We wish Dorothy Baird and Jean Wissing all the best. We said a tearful goodbye to Auxiliary Secretary Cheryl Sunter who passed away suddenly in December. A donation of $265,000 has been earmarked for ARH from the Auxiliary and this commitment will be paid in full by the end of 2017. The Auxiliary also awarded two bursaries of $1000 to two ADHS students for nursing and allied health. Congratulations to Delaney Hopper and John Russell. The Ice Cream Program continues to put smiles on the faces on patients and residents, this long-time partnership with Dairy Queen begins each year in May through to September. The sewing volunteers, in addition to regularly saving ARH thousands in repair work, made twelve dozen surgical caps for the operating room.
The Patient and Family Advisory Council’s Perspective
D
igital X-ray technology is now available at Arnprior Regional Health after a significant investment of community fundraising dollars through the ARH Foundation. This piece of equipment is specially designed for high volume environments and is equipped with robotics allowing the technologist to concentrate on the patient and the exam as opposed to moving the equipment around. With the digital technology, the images are very precise and are uploaded immediately to the hospital computer system for quicker viewing by the physician or radiologist. This machine reduces the procedure time by 25% while also reducing the radiation dose between 30 and 50%. A small team helped bring this technology to Arnprior from the maintenance department leading the renovation, the diagnostic imaging department through their work with the manufacturer, to the Patient and Family
Advisory Council (PFAC) for their feedback from the patient perspective. PFAC formed at the hospital in October 2012 based on the success of the Family Council at the Grove. Both groups are regularly consulted and feedback is both encouraged and welcomed in order to gain the perspectives of patients and residents. When it came time to renovate the X-ray room, the manager of diagnostic imaging requested the patient perspective from PFAC. A couple of members of the council took the time to think about the patient experience when having an X-ray. They chose soothing paint colours, selected lighting that could be dimmed, and easy to read directional signs. While these items may seem insignificant, they do impact the patient experience. Medical tests can be very stressful and putting the patient at ease is important to our health care professionals. We appreciate the perspective offered by PFAC.
In closing off a successful year with 16,221 volunteer hours and 157 active volunteers, I would also like to pay tribute to Gift Shop volunteer Willa Wright who at 92 years young takes a taxi so she can work her two shifts a week. This is true dedication. I would also to thank all the volunteers for the work that they do. Improving the lives of others is what this is all about, whether it is personal contact with patients and residents or raising funds to purchase equipment for Arnprior Regional Health.
Auxiliary members Josie Morrison, Teresa Thom, Sharon Brady, Ralph Mawdsley (RN at ARH), and Bernice O’Connor pose with one of the new bedside terminals. The Auxiliary helped to fund this project. Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, July 6, 2017 19

s part of the 2016 Budget, Ontario proposed a new investment of more than $345 million to all publicly funded hospitals, including a one per cent increase to base funding for small hospitals such as Arnprior Regional Health, to sustain patient access to high-quality health care services as close to home as possible. A few months later, another 1% increase was received to improve patient flow and allow us to meet seasonal surge and increased volume due to our aging and growing population. In addition to these government investments in our operations, further financial support for capital projects came through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF). This fund supplements hospitals existing capital renewal programs and helps address large scale renewal needs (e.g., roofing systems, boilers, windows). ARH received a total of $1,692,998 from HIRF which was directed towards the modernization of our heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Another significant investment by the Ministry of Health included a one-time capital grant of $1,793,600 towards the redevelopment of central sterilization and reprocessing (CSR). This is the area in the hospital where all surgical instruments are cleaned and sterilized. This funding represents 90% of the required funds for the project the balance of which must be funded locally. While the provincial government is an important source of funding, ARH also benefits from the support of the ARH Auxiliary and the ARH Foundation. The generosity of both of these organizations has enabled ARH to acquire new medical equipment and complete minor renovations. Arnprior Regional Health is humbled by the significant financial contributions made by the community during this past year. These contributions reflect the confidence our community places in us, along with the ongoing commitment to ensure our organization remains vibrant and is positioned to play a vital role in the delivery of healthcare services.

The award is given to the team that best demonstrates the attributes of sportsmanship and fair play over the course of the tournament. This is a significant accomplishment for the team, as only one of 20 participating teams receives the award. Receiving this honour is a fitting end to a successful season on the field for the team; which included an Eastern Ontario Championship, and their third consecutive county championship.

July 1-9 marks National Fishing Week in Canada. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Lifesaving Society want to remind anglers that wearing your lifejacket is even more important than wearing your ‘lucky fishing hat.’ But they do share one trait - They both have to be worn to be effective! According to the Lifesaving Society’s 2016 Canadian Drowning Report, 82 per cent of recreational boaters who drowned in the past five years were found not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Over half (54 per cent) of boating deaths occurred during powerboat use, with small powerboats less than 5.5 metres in length (26 per cent) the most common vessel type. A majority of these victims were males (80 per cent) between the ages of 20 and 60 years of age, often out for a day of fishing. Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or PFDs believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough. But a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help when the unexpected happens, like falling overboard while trying to net the catch. “National surveys clearly show that more than half the recreational boats sold in Canada are used for fishing on a regular basis,” says John Gullick, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “During National Fishing Week, the Canadian Safe Boating Council would like to remind all anglers not only to have their lifejacket onboard their boat, but to look after it and wear it. If you happen to fall overboard, it will give you the time you need to calm down, catch your breath, assess your situation and effect, or help effect, a rescue. In 2 out of 3 drownings related to boating, the victims were less than 15 meters from some form of safety.” Many of today’s anglers are delighted with the models that are designed especially to suit their needs. They’re rugged, allow for full freedom of movement to cast and are constructed with lots of pockets for gear. Some even come equipped with an attachment from which to hang a landing net.

Madawaska Golf unveils new logo JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
Following the celebration of 40 years of history, the Madawaska Golf Club is unveiling a new look in year number 41. The club unveiled a new logo to members during a brief ceremony following the Kickers Scramble tournament held mid-May. It features two feathers in the club’s traditional redand-white colours in front of two blue, bending stripes. “We’d been talking about it for a few years,” club manager Victoria Munro said. “As we transition in to a new generation, we wanted to update our look. But we wanted to pay tribute to our traditions, so we kept the feathers, and the blue represents the two rivers that intersect in our greater community.” Munro said her dad and
course owner Rick Munro came up with the concept and Men’s club captain Dan McCaskill, with the help of his team at custom fabrication and design company Expgraphiq, created the final logo. Canada Day is always a special time at the Madawaska Golf Course. Members and regulars are known for putting on the red, breaking out the maple leaves, and heading to the course for a round with friends. With this year being Canada 150, Munro says it will be a week-long celebration at the Madawaska this year. From June 27 to July 1, the course will have a different special each day. “We want to celebrate all week long,” Munro said. “It’s Canada 150. Debbie and the girls will be decorating and dressing up for the week. In previous years, our community dresses up pretty good for
Canada so we have a lot of fun with it.” With sunny, windy weather, the course had finally dried up from the record-breaking wet spring. “The course is looking great,” Munro said. “It’s nice and dry and in good condition.” Aces away While it’s been a wet spring, golfers are finally getting out to the course and are starting to show their skills. The first two hole-in-ones of the season are history now. Lorrie Van Dusen hit her ace on hole 10 using a six hybrid to score in one swing from 118 yards away. Fourteenyear-old Curtis Proulx did the deed on hole 10 as well. He stroked a seven iron 162 yards. Proulx was named West CarSubmitted leton Secondary School junior From left, club manager Victoria Munro and Men’s Club Captain Dan McCaskill unveil the male athlete of the year on Madawaska Golf Club’s new logo.

Henderson hopes to hoist Women’s Open trophy before hometown crowd ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club community in August. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition. In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the major LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes. “But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being
said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” said Henderson, who won the prestigious Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan on June 18 and will next defend her title at the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Chicago June 27 to July 2. The pro golfer will have “a rare” two weeks off in the lead-up to the Canadian Women’s Open, which drew 96 of the world’s top 100 women golfers in 2016. This year, 156 golfers will compete for the coveted trophy at the Ottawa club. Henderson plans to spend that downtime practising at ‘the Ottawa Hunt,’ as the private club is known locally. “Winning (the) Canadian Open would be extremely special and probably the most meaningful event for me out on tour,” she said. “Just having so much support come from Canada, I think – I don’t know, its just hard to explain – but it would be extremely special for me to be able to hoist that trophy.” During the preview, Henderson was joined by Kane in a skills competition, during which they chipped balls at targets to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the 2017 Canadian Women’s Open’s charity of choice.A star of the press conference, flanked by Henderson and Kane, was Kanata’s Zander Zatylny. The CHEO cardiac patient was born with a rare congenital heart defect in which there is just one heart blood vessel, restricting blood flow. “It means so much,” Chrystal Raymond said of her seven-year-old son’s role as the 2017 Women’s Open child ambassador. Zander was born with truncus arteriosis, as well as a hole in his heart that was corrected during his first open-heart surgery when he was
just 22 days old. Brooke HenA second operation followed when derson (left) he was one, and stents were inserted at watches her age two to ensure unrestricted blood ball during a flow.

New provincial cycling funding, $50 million, could be used in Renfrew County ISH THEILHEIMER
Cycling and active transportation advocates are urging county and municipal politicians to take advantage of new provincial funding available to encourage people to get out of their cars and onto bikes. Local delegates to last week’s Eastern Ontario Active Transportation Summit in Carleton Place were enthused with the details they heard about the new $50-million Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program, which has an application deadline of Aug. 18. Funding for the program comes from the
province’s Climate Change Action Plan, and it is being invested in commuter cycling networks and installation of more cycling facilities. Although much of the funding is directed at urban needs, there is also a stream of funding for smaller municipalities (population less than 15,000), under which there is annual funding of up to $25,000 available per municipality on a first come, first served basis, with the province paying 80 per cent of project costs. Municipalities may also pursue funding partnerships with third parties, including other municipalities (upper, lower or single-tier), indigenous communities, conservation authorities and

municipal service agencies. Under both streams, funding is to be used for capital investments in new commuter cycling infrastructure and enhancements to existing cycling infrastructure to better support commuting cyclists. It cannot be used to support low frequency or temporary cycling infrastructure. “Infrastructure such as hardened shoulders and signage that would help get kids to school or employees to workplaces might be considered,” said Ish Theilheimer, co-chair of the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance. “So might bike racks, route signs and other facilities that encourage everyday cycling.” One of the highlights of the summit for local delegates was the workshop on the Voyageur Cycle Route, a transCanada cycle route being planned with leadership from the Discovery Routes, a nonprofit alliance from the North Bay area. They have successfully completed a route for cyclists travelling across Canada that extends from Sudbury to Mattawa, and now they are working on identifying and bringing together the needed resources and municipal partners to complete a route to Ottawa. Delegates from Renfrew County participated in a workshop session going through maps, looking at route options and listing the attractions, facilities and services along each route.

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.
Share your special moments with your friends and our readers with an announcement in Social Notes.
In loving memory of a dear husband Les McNulty April 15, 1931 – July 6, 2015 In think of you every day, And miss you more than words can say, Gone but not forgotten. Love Donna

Camp Wanago summer camp set to go TOWN OF ARNPRIOR
That time of the year is almost here and the staff at Camp Wanago are hard at work getting everything set up for a fun summer. The Town of Arnprior’s Recreation Department’s summer day camp, Camp Wanago, has been around for many years and is well known in the community as well as surrounding areas. Camp Wanago runs for eight weeks throughout July and August for children ages 4 to 12. Camp runs from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. and is located at St. Joseph’s School for the first five weeks and then at the Christian Education Centre for the last three weeks. Lunches are provided (except on trip days) and late pick-up is available if necessary. Children can join us for the full week or just for the special trip. Every week at Camp Wanago has an exciting theme and a special trip. The first week is Royal Rebels and is all about embracing your child’s inner prince/ princess. The trip for this week will be to Kids Kingdom, an indoor jungle gym with laser tag. In week 2, Wanago’s A-Maze-ing Adventure, everyone will be encouraged to think outside the box and will be testing our maze skills with a trip to Saunders Farm. Wet and Wild Fun is the title for week three and will include some fun ways to stay cool when it gets hot, including a trip to Mont Cascade Water Park. Get to Know the Valley is a new theme this year that we are very excited about. This week we’ll be exploring what makes the Valley unique and a great place to live including a visit to Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch and exploring the Bonnechere Caves. For week five we’ll be in a Food Frenzy as we get ready for our trip to the Experimental Farm. Week six may be short but it will be full of smiles as the theme is Happy Campers. In this week we will have a real camping experience, including mak-

Week seven we will Get Moving as it is all about getting active and involved. Our trip this week will be to Xtreme Trampoline and the Mill of Kintail. Our final week at camp is called Canada 150 and we will be learning about our country, ending with a trip to the Museum of History. Along with all of these awesome trips out of town, we will be going bowling, to the O’Brien Movie theatre, holding a car wash,
and a bake sale to benefit local non-profit organizations. This year’s camp staff include a mix of some familiar faces and some new friends. Returning to the Wanago staff for their third year are Patti Dodge and Janessa Russett. Both Patti and Janessa were counsellors for the past two years are now coordinating camp. Patti currently goes to Brock University and is going into her fourth year of a Child and Youth Studies degree. Janessa attends Acadia University and is also entering her fourth year of her Kinesiology degree. Both coordinators are excited about the summer ahead as they use their previous camp experience to create the best summer yet. Also returning this year is Evan Schriver who is a third year student at Western University, studying business. A fun fact about Evan is that his favourite sport is soccer, and he is looking forward to seeing all the returning and new campers this year. Cassidy Murray, a grade 12 student at Arnprior and District High School (ADHS), is also returning to camp this year after years of being involved in the camp but with a new role as counsellor. A fun fact about her is that she loves playing sports and she is looking forward to an amazing summer. New faces to Camp Wanago this year include Kurtis Malloch, who is going into grade 12 at ADHS. He loves hockey and is looking forward to all the great activities we do with the kids. Lauryn Rochon-Kaiser, who is graduating from ADHS this year and heading to McMaster University in the fall. Lauryn is a figure skater and she loves to paint, which will come in handy when we make crafts this summer. Erin Chartrand will also be joining us this summer as the Community Living counsellor. Erin is in the Developmental Service Worker Program at Algonquin College and is excited to put what she’s learned into practice at camp.

With the teacher are, from left, the principal designate Shauna Rampton, and Northern Credit Union’s Julie Brown, Ron Carty, and Wayne Lavallee. Northern Credit donated $500 to the project.

Operation Corridor flushes out aggressive, unsafe commercial truck drivers Speeding and faulty equipment led the list of charges laid by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) during the recent 24-hour Operation Corridor commercial motor vehicle safety blitz (June 15-16). During the campaign, officers
stopped more than 700 commercial transport trucks throughout the province. Officers laid 127 speeding charges against commercial transport truck drivers, surpassing all other charge categories.
Equipment was the second highest category of offences, with 113 such charges. An equipment charge is laid when a transport truck has defective or missing equipment, such as brake lights, braking systems or tires.
