The Bargain! Shop closing its doors Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The Bargain! Shop, which opened in Renfrew in 2001, is closing its doors for good.

The company filed for creditor protection through the courts on Feb. 26. As a result, Bargain! Shop stores closing in eastern Ontario include Prescott and Renfrew.

Its stores in Petawawa and Perth will remain open, says Renfrew manager Leslee Gervais, who has worked in the same building since 1986 —first as assistant manager of the Biway store that went into receivership in 2001, then as manager of The Bargain! Shop.

Gervais said the family-oriented discount was part of a smoothly-run operation.

“You could talk to anyone at head office (in Mississauga),” she said. “They were very open. It was like a big family.”

The big family is about to shrink, with 64 of its 230 stores across Canada scheduled to close through a pre-receivership, restructuring process.

Gervais, whoʼs married with adult-age children, says itʼs not easy news to swallow.

“Iʼm a little down, but I understand why the business is doing this,” she said. “Theyʼre in the business to make money.”

The Raglan Street business has three full-time and six part-time employees. Offers have been made to relocate with the company, but itʼs unsure if any of the local staff will do so.

Employees were notified of the closing Feb. 27.

The closing date is not fixed, but a pre-closing liquidation sale will start in mid- or late-March.

Gervais says sheʼll miss the customers more than anything. “We had some really nice customers,” she said. One customer is Jim Riopelle. “Thatʼs a shame,” he said about the closing. “A lot are going to miss it.”

Some businesses that have opened, or will be opening, on Raglan Street are Plentiful Pantry, Karrasʼ Way and Wheatless Wonders.

The Bargain! Shop began court-supervised restructuring proceedings Feb. 26 under the Companiesʼ Creditors Arrangement Act. Ernst & Young was appointed as the court monitor.

Douglas man dies in workplace accident Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Wayne Maschke, 58, of Douglas is being remembered as a kind-hearted man who loved fishing, hunting and helping out his neighbours.

He would have turned 59 on Friday.

Maschke died Tuesday when a regulator being moved into place at the Hinchinbrooke Distribution Station fell on him.

About 12:05 p.m. the Sharbot Lake OPP were called to an address on White Lake Road in

Central Frontenac Township regarding the accident.

The Hydro One employee was working with a crew replacing a regulator.

The crew administered CPR, and emergency personnel were contacted.

Paramedics and firefighters attended the scene with police, but Maschke was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour was contacted and attended to continue the investigation with the Coronerʼs Office.

Maschke is survived by sev-

eral family members, including wife Betty, adult-age children Shawn, Jennifer Okum and Amanda Maika, their respective spouses Tanya, Trevor and Ian, and seven grandchildren.

Mary Limlaw, whoʼs been a neighbour of the Maschke family for 48 years, called him a great person and a great neighbour who was always helping out someone.

“If there was a light switch or something to be fixed, heʼd be there,” she said.

Befriending Canadian soldiers far from his Renfrew roots steve.newman@metroland.com

Michael Fleming still returns to the Ottawa Valley every year or two to catch up with his Canadian roots, but he recently made the connection without leaving town.

Fleming took a break from his work for the U.S. Postal Service in Fort Bragg, N.C., last week to use a gift card from a customer. Heading over to Starbucks on the North Carolina army base, he made an unimagined connection to Canada after conversing with a few Canadian soldiers.

Fleming offered to buy them coffee, but the Canadians said they were doing a coffee run for nearly a dozen soldiers. Fleming said heĘźd still be more than pleased to pick up the entire tab.

In doing so, he triggered an appreciative response from some of the more than 400 Canadian soldiers attending a month-long exercise at Fort Bragg.

For his gesture, he was presented with one of

the 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian RegimentĘźs hockey puck. He also received the commanding ofďŹ cerĘźs coin and recognition on the Canadian Forces Base Petawawa facebook.

One of the soldiers Fleming met in the North Bragg Starbucks Feb. 26 was Bombardier Blair Walton of 2nd Royal Canadian Horse Artillery at CFB Petawawa.

The modest gesture clearly resonated with the Canadian soldier. He said FlemingĘźs actions restored some of his faith in humanity. “It shows that people care and respect what we do. It was a really nice gesture.â€?

Not lost on Fleming was the fact he still feels very much Canadian, even though heĘźs now an American citizen.

He grew up in the Ottawa Valley, in Braeside, Arnprior and Renfrew, and attended Central Public School and Renfrew Collegiate Institute, from which he graduated in the late 1960s.

Related to the Flemings in the Calabogie area, he mostly remembers many faces from the Renfrew area, such as Dave Lorente (one of his

high school teachers), Wilf OĘźBrien, Gord Eady and Pat St. Michael. “Renfrew is what I call home. Renfrew is my hometown,â€? said Fleming while talking to The Renfrew Mercury during his day shift for the U.S. Postal Service. “When I cut myself shaving, my blood is Royal Canadian Mounted Police red. I appreciate that I am part of these two countries because I am Canadian and American. America has treated me well ‌ but my home is Canada.â€?

Fleming also has made deep connections to the U.S. military, after moving south of the border in the late 1960s to enlist in the U.S. Army so he could ďŹ ght in the Viet Nam War. He served in Viet Nam from January 1970 to April 1971.

He became a U.S. citizen in 1975, but says

he wishes heĘźd known Canadian legislation was coming in 1977 that would have allowed him dual citizenship.

Meanwhile, he says itĘźs important he and other citizens continue to recognize the cost of freedom by thanking the servicemen who help make that freedom possible.

While he has expressed his appreciation to U.S. servicemen several times, he says getting to do that for members of the Canadian military was unique and special.

Whether the militaryĘźs Canadian, American, British, German or of another national stripe, they know freedom is not free, said Fleming.

He said he was pleased to be able to recognize his own peopleĘźs military. “The opportunity to do that was the least I could do,â€? said Fleming “It was just coffee.â€?

Renfrewite Mike Fleming, who lives in North Carolina, is flanked by members of Canadian Forces Base Petawawa after he was presented with a hockey puck from the 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment and the commanding officer’s coin.

The soldiers are Lieut.-Col. David Quick, at left, and Sgt.-Major Keith Olstad.

67 more AEDs coming to county Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Saving lives in Renfrew County just got easier.

Through a partnership of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Renfrew County Paramedic Service, 45 automated external deďŹ brillators (AEDs) have been installed across the county since 2005, while another 67 are scheduled to be installed in Renfrew County facilities by June 2013. “WeĘźve really been leading the area for the last eight years,â€? health promotion specialist Micheline Turnau of the Heart and Stroke Foundation told the Feb. 28 session of Renfrew County council.

Renfrew-area facilities identiďŹ ed to receive new AEDs include each elementary school in Renfrew, Walter Zadow Public School in Arnprior, McNab Public School, a second AED at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, Renfrew Collegiate Institute, Admaston Recreation Complex, the White Lake sports and recreation facility, and the Matawatchan community hall.

Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School and the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion are among about 40 buildings where AEDs are now located.

The growing number of AEDs in the county is also leading to a growing success rate with treatment of cardiac arrests.

In the last year or so, Renfrew County chief paramedic Mike Nolan says the former revival rate of about three per cent for 90 to 100 people suffering cardiac arrest has improved drastically.

One dramatic, life-saving incident occurred Jan. 10 at Calabogie Peaks Ski Resort,

where a skier collapsed after a day of skiing and went into cardiac arrest.

Without a pulse, he was revived after receiving CPR from an off-duty nurse and a ski patrol memberĘźs use of the local AED unit. After being transported by Ornge Air Ambulance, the man underwent successful surgery at the Ottawa Heart Institute the same day. “ItĘźs that quick reaction that we would like to see, that people know where the AEDs are, and what to do, and we know how to start CPR as soon as possible,â€? said Turnau. ĘťWhen these things are in place we have great success,â€? she added. “We know we can continue to improve our survival rates across the province by doing these things.â€?

Chief paramedic Nolan says statistics from the past year have been extremely encouraging. “In previous years, we were seeing survival rates from cardiac arrest of one, two or three per cent. “But council has invested in a number of programs, not the least of which has been the AED program and community awareness. “In 2012 the early run on our data, not to be conďŹ rmed yet, weĘźre seeing a 15 per cent survival rate,â€? said Nolan. “So, (thatĘźs) pretty fantastic, with the advent of the deďŹ brillator program and early access to 9-1-1 ‌ weĘźve focused on strengthening every link in that chain of survival.â€?

The number of AEDs in Renfrew County will soon more than double, with the help of the program thatĘźs funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

The 67 AEDs are among

2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, March 7, 2013

an estimated 2,500 AEDs that will be put into schools, recreation centres and other facilities across Ontario with the co-operation of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Schools are preferred locations for AEDs, said Turnau, because they have proven to be community hubs that are also used for after-school activities by both youngsters and adults.

For each of the 67 AEDs coming to Renfrew County, up to 10 people will receive free training on how to operate the device. The Renfrew County Paramedic Service will also provide maintenance of the AED units and annual retraining.

Since the introduction of the program in Renfrew County eight years ago, about 48 lives have been saved, said Turnau.

The more AEDs the better, says Nolan. “WeĘźve got a huge county, which continues to be a challenge to have a response time, of an urban nature, of eight minutes or less. “So what weĘźve done is target locations where people come together, where thereĘźs Heart Wise programs, where there are municipal halls, recreation facilities and hockey rinks ‌ where weĘźll get the best bang for our buck and be able to use devices such as this. “WeĘźve also partnered with the private sector, like Calabogie Peaks ... WeĘźve also made them part of our program by providing training and early notiďŹ cation within our dispatch system. “If you dial from a place that has a deďŹ brillator on site, the dispatcher automatically sees that thereĘźs a deďŹ brillator and will direct the caller to get that device.â€?

RENFREW COUNTY

Hwy. 17 expansion No. 1 priority in county’s first strategic plan Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

There was plenty of praise for the County of Renfrewʼs first-ever strategic plan, which was presented to the Feb. 28 session of county council.

Entitled Strategic Plan and Council Priorities 2013-2018, the document was developed from a two-day September 2012 consultation workshop for county councillors and staff members.

Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton, who was the major author, presented the document and spoke about the seven priority strategies.

Several strategies were identified during the workshop, but the document says these seven priority are to be dealt with before all others.

The Group of Seven list starts with promotion of an expanded four-lane Highway 17 into Highway 417, or four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway.

The next strategies, listed in order of priority, are • enhance the (mandated) long-term asset management program; • develop a linked trail system; • promote active transportation; • launch an economic development roundtable; • create a small business investment fund; and • foster health promotion and disease prevention programs.

“We had business plans that focused on budget numbers. But we wanted to do a strategic plan. It gives focus to our staff because it includes our mission, vision and values,” said Hutton.

“It tells our staff that we deliver services that we want delivered in an efficient and cost-effective manner. So it gives direction and buy-in for staff, and for the elected officials it sets priorities.”

Warden Peter Emonʼs message in the 18-page document calls the strategic plan a “very important document

in outlining the future direction and priorities for a municipality. The consultation sessions last September were very helpful and thought-provoking as we worked toward stating our priorities for the term of council and beyond.”

In the same document, past warden Bob Sweetʼs message says the strategic plan demonstrates councilʼs “leadership and commitment to improving the quality of the life of the residents of the County of Renfrew.”

Hutton said the strategic plan will be reviewed annually.

“This document is very straightforward, and we can amend it in the future very easily to reflect the priorities of council, as new councils come forward,” said Hutton.

THREE THEMES BEHIND THE STRATEGIES

The planʼs strategies have been aligned along three key themes — community well-being, economic opportunities and community sustainability or viability. The latter includes the stipulation that at least five per cent of the county budget be set aside for new infrastructure.

The county isnʼt technically required to have a strategic plan, but several county departments are, including the long-term care facilities at Bonnechere Manor and Miramichi Lodge, as well as emergency services, Ontario Works, child care and the Renfrew County Housing Corporation.

Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie said her only criticism of the document was the need for a cover that represented all 17 municipalities. The released document had photos of two unnamed municipalities in the county.

“This is a very important document for showing leadership and where the county is going in the future,” said Visneskie.

Overall, Arnprior Reeve Walter

Stack said the strategic plan was good work: “This is really well packaged. Itʼs an easy read.”

Regarding the development of a linked trail system, Stack said the linkage must be made, but not at the expense of one group, while referring to such potential users as snowmobilers, ATV operators, bikers and walkers.

“All those interests need to be considered,” said Stack.

The document shows that action plans in 2013 include acquisition of the discontinued Canadian Pacific rail corridor, seeking partners such as the Physical Activity Network, and confirming a vision of trail links with both public and private stakeholders.

The goal of this strategy is to create a linked and integrated trail system that extends through the county within five years.

Hutton pointed out that the system

isnʼt just the abandoned CP line, but also the K& P corridor in Greater Madawaska and Admaston-Bromley, and trails in other municipalities. The idea is to use the trail system to attract people to the area and improve local residentsʼ health profile.

Laurentian Valley Mayor Jack Wilson, who says he hasnʼt been a fan of other strategic plans he has seen, called the document a good start.

The expansion of Highway 17 is even more critical, given the recent abandonment of the CP rail corridor, said Hutton.

“That is our main transportation system, our main connection to the world, so itʼs very important,” added Hutton, knowing this priority has a bearing on many economic issues within the county.

Actions planned for 2013 include completion of an Economic Development Action Plan Assessment

Town of Renfrew

(EDIA), meeting with the Ministry of Transportation officials to review EDIA findings, and attending Team Highway 17 meetings to identify high-accident areas on the highway corridor and feasible operational improvements.

The seventh of the strategies focuses on health promotion and disease prevention.

With health statistics that are far worse than the provincial average, the county needs to become healthier, said Hutton.

The leader on this strategy would be the countyʼs emergency services department, as the county strives to reduce chronic disease levels to the provincial average within five years.

Other facilitators, which are listed in the document, include social services, health units, boards of education, First Nations, and private and public donors.

RVH dialysis team presents at national conference The Canadian Association of Nephrology Nurses and Technologists (CANNT) held its annual conference at the end of October, with 16 professionals from Renfrew Victoria Hospital participating and/or presenting a workshop session.

The conference is held as an opportunity for delegates from across Canada to grow professionally through a variety of concurrent sessions, workshops, posters and exhibits, and to network with other nurses and technologists caring for patients with kidney disease.

More than 500 people attended the three-day event in Ottawa.

Janice Verch-Whittington, RVHĘźs clinical manager of nephrology, was a member of the organizing committee for the 2012 CANNT Conference.

She and RVH vice-president of patient care services Chris Ferguson were also presenters at the conference.

They, along with several colleagues from The Ottawa Hospital and CCAC, shared their ĘťEvaluation of a New Model of Care to Support Home Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: The Nephrology Integrated Care Demonstration Project.Ęź Ferguson explains that they shared their ďŹ ndings, planning strategies, implementation tactics and lessons learned from partnering with the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) to better support home dialysis patients. “The beneďŹ ts of our participation in this event were numerous,â€? noted Ferguson. “We have garnered some recognition for our program and the work we do, the value of staff education to obtain best practices, new ways to provide care, and learn about other programs.

Missing from the photo are Elizabeth Freestone and Chris Ferguson.

Our staff were able to enhance their knowledge, verify the great work they are doing and link with others from programs all across the country.�

It is also a chance for other programs to see the way RVH approaches continuing education programs, added Ferguson. “We ensured that all staff members were

supported ďŹ nancially to attend.â€?

The RVH Education Assistance Fund, which is mainly supported by the cafeteriaĘźs coffee fund, supplemented by donations and other gifts speciďŹ ed for staff education, supports a variety of job-related educational endeavors, including conference registration fees.

Dr. Nicole Delbrouck, RVHĘźs medical director of nephrology, acknowledges the importance of ongoing learning for staff. “We support the education of RVH staff on an annual basis with donations to the employee education fund, so that more staff members can participate in this invaluable conference.â€?

As a result of that assistance, RVH had the largest staff representation at this yearĘźs conference. “I am very proud to work in an organization that goes so far to support the team in attending this national conference,â€? said Verch-Whittington.

CANNT president Colleen Wile, on behalf of the CANNT membership, CANNT board of directors and CANNT 2012 conference planning committee, said, “We thank and appreciate the great support and participation from the nephrology nurses at Renfrew Victoria Hospital at this yearĘźs National Conference. “The national conference provides a great opportunity for nephrology nurses to gain new knowledge and insights into practice and share experiences to bring back to their own units.â€? “I am privileged to have been part of the planning committee and feel it was an excellent conference,â€? said Verch-Whittington. “All who attended have come back to the units with ideas for how we can continue to provide excellent patient care.â€?

OPINION EDITORIAL

Enjoy a safe March Break The March Break is mere days away – a chance for students to enjoy a holiday away from school before running the long home stretch to June.

Some families use the time to get away for a family vacation while others spend time with babysitters and other family members while their parents work to make ends meet.

If youʼre travelling, the Canada Safety Council says that while school may be out, safety is still in.

If youʼre planning to fly out of town for March Break, the council advises you to visit www.travel.gc.ca to check for travel advisories and warnings and adjust plans accordingly.

More than likely, youʼll be on the road. If so, the council urges you to “buckle up, stay alert, and drive defensively – familiar messages, but they are as important as ever during March Break road-trips.”

And pay attention. Watch the road ahead and

minimize distractions by putting away electronic devices while behind the wheel. Plan your route so you know where you are going before you leave home.

While you may be in a hurry to get away, resist the urge to speed and weave in and out of traffic.

“Driving erratically really wonʼt get you to your destination much faster, but it does increase your chances of being seriously injured or killed in a collision,” the council says.

And, of course, drive sober.

While on vacation, enjoy yourself but remember that your personal safety is your responsibility. Donʼt accept drinks from strangers and avoid going to unfamiliar places alone. And donʼt post photos or status updates on your social media accounts that indicate you are away on vacation.

Just a little advice that could prevent a lot of hurt. Have a happy March Break.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The good work goes on To the editor: Re: “Publication of letters make the point”

by Dean Black, Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013.

I also admire editorial personnel of “Renfrewʼs news source of record” for publishing Mr. Dean Blackʼs letter for precisely the same reason that he was grateful to you a week ago for publishing mine.

It is great we all can have an impact on how readersʼ observations, reflections, opinions, criticism and points of view find the light of day in the medias of modern, progressive and democratic society without causing frictions ending in courts.

Managing this complicated process deserves my commendation and makes your week of work every week.

The beauty of our freedom of expression is also affiliated with presenting ideas without judgment (which may offend some) and ulterior motives, for example, trying to please your neighbours.

Renfrew talks. Renfrew talks on the streets, in the parks, grocery stores and parking lots.

Renfrew talks at the council meetings.

Contributions to the newspaper are largely submitted by observers who care and are not afraid to face public scrutiny. They describe a subject of question and frequently offer recipes, options or alternatives to the omnipresent status quo. They sometimes become a target of misinterpretation without basic ideas being reciprocated.

Last week I was complimented on several occasions for my impartially presented food for thoughts titled “Law vague and execution arbitrary.”

My message was clear to my feedback givers. How we understand the written word largely depends on how we perceive the world in

general.

You can focus on the main subject of each case or on marginal connotations often leading readers astray from the main line of thoughts.

The fines and demerit points donʼt match the severity of offences. It was not intended to be the voice of the complainer but to be taken at the face value as an exemplary phenomenon.

Mr. Black informs us that fines and points exist as a method of traffic accident prevention, hoping that notoriously bad drivers will suddenly become good drivers or as a method to impose fear on “largely unchecked drivers” potentially facing “more injuries and death” because of bad driving behaviour.

If it is a fear, then we should take another look at who we are as a society and how we should change it.

Yes, social circumstances and excuses should be seriously taken under consideration and not necessarily trump the threat of fines, but should be able to counterweigh or outweigh the arbitrary execution of the law enforcers. More so, if the offence causes no precedent to take place and can easily be classified as a minor one. In governing the worldʼs leading country of the 21st century, leniency in the execution of law scores much higher than fines and points in a wide structure of accident prevention. Warnings often do the trick.

I also refrained in my “drivel” from forming my judgment on “police doing good work every day.”

Sure, it is a good one, but it also reflects how far we are behind role models like Norway, which is virtually a crimeless country.

Iʼd rather see the police idle or not do much in Renfrew, than doing good work.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

With nine snow days already this winter, should March Break be scrapped?

Should the Algonquins receive 117,000 acres of Crown land and $300 million as laid out in the land claims agreement-in-principle?

A) Yes. With all the missed days because of weather and politics, the students have fallen too far behind.

B) No. It’s been a long winter. Students and educators need a break.

50%

A) Yes. It’s about time Native Canadians in this area got a fair share of what was originally theirs.

29%

B) No. It’s too much. The compensation should be either money or land, not both.

C) Yes. Scrap it every year. No wonder we’re lagging behind China and Japan.

D) No. In fact, increase it to two weeks as they do in some provinces.

14%

C) Yes. That and much more is needed to make up for all the injustices of the past.

7%

D) No. Don’t favour one group over another.

Last week Keith and Ann Eady witnessed an attempt by a northern shrike to take a dark-eyed junco at their feeder. This week the drama continues.

Hi, Jim and Ila: We have confirmed the shrike strike. Once again the absence of birds, except for two juncos, caught our attention. The solitary juncos were frozen in place for what seemed like an unusually long time. The first to move made a fatal error.

As soon as he was about to take flight, the northern shrike was upon him in hot

pursuit. We were unable to confirm a kill, as the aerial chase quickly moved beyond our line of sight.

While waiting for the action to commence, we were not able to spot the shrike’s lookout position but it had to be nearby. We will continue to monitor this avian drama as it unfolds.

Keith and Ann Eady

Bob English called and was amazed at the number of redpolls that had arrived at his feeders.

He estimated that there were 100-plus birds on the snow under the feeder and as many as there was room for on the feeder.

He also mentioned that

doing “bill waving”. This behaviour occurs between birds of the same sex when there is a territorial dispute between two mated pairs.

Once the territories have been defined and disputes settled, the nesting season begins.

JIM FERGUSON

pleased to have them coming to the Turcotte property.

The song is a clear series of whistled notes given is short phrases that are repeated several times. Both males and females sing during territory formation and courtship. Counter singing may occur with both birds taking part and singing part of the song.

Marilyn McNaule has a pair of northern cardinals coming to her yard for crab apples.

During their stay they are giving their spring song. The birds have many other expressive calls, chip call when alarmed, a harsh kwut call when defending their territory and a peetoo call during nest-site defence.

Only the birds know exactly what the calls mean and we can only speculate.

Tracey Markie has a pair of northern cardinals coming to her feeder on a regular basis.

She says they have been singing for about two weeks now and it is always a pleasure to hear them as she knows that spring canʼt be too far away.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

Hi, Jim and Ila: When I returned home after a walk with my dog Piper, I spotted what I am quite sure was a pair of pileated woodpeckers.

They were swooping from tree to tree at the corner of Dugald Road and Larone Lane.

They had white underbellies and quite a prominent spike of red on their head. This is the second time since living here that I have come across this type of bird. What a treat. Take care, Megan Morgan.

Thank you for the email, Morgan.

Pileated woodpeckers are resident birds and are re-establishing their territory for the coming nesting season.

Within the territory they will have one nesting site, and two roosting sites, one for each bird. If there are any of last yearʼs young still with them, the young will have to go and find their own territory.

The adults will call loudly from each corner of their chosen territory, warning all pileated woodpeckers to keep out.

Ministry of Transport keeps the highways safe Renfrew detachment

Do your part to keep our highways safe this winter by travelling safely around snowplows to make it easier for maintenance crews to clear snow and ice from our roads as quickly, efficiently and safely as possible.

This is what the Ministry of Transportation does to keep our highways safe: Ontario has some of the highest road maintenance standards in North America.

• It uses the latest technology, such as pre-wetted salt to enhance its effectiveness, and sensors to monitor weather and road conditions so snow removal equipment can be sent out when itʼs needed.

• It uses technology to predict winter storms and proactively plan and deploy snow removal equipment.

• Anti-icing liquid is spread on the highway before winter weather begins to help prevent snow from sticking to the high-

way surface. It also improves the effectiveness of plowing operations.

• Equipment may be installed at bridges to automatically spray anti-icing liquid.

• The ministry provides drivers with a tool to get information on current road conditions by calling 511 or going online at ontario.ca/trip which are both available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This is how Ontarioʼs provincial highways are maintained in the winter: • Snowplowing, sanding and salting are provided by contractors who are required to meet specific standards, specifications and performance requirements.

• Their performance is monitored before, during and after a storm and if the contractors do not meet the standards, they face serious consequences.

• Contractors are responsible for more than 16,000 kilometres of provincial highways.

• They use more than 1,000

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Maintenance crews work hard to keep Ontario’s road clear. snowplows, sanders and salt trucks to fight winter storms on provincial highways.

• Contractors are required to: • Begin plowing provincial highways when there is an accumulation of two centimetres of snow or slush.

• Begin sanding or salting within 30 minutes of the start of winter weather.

• Monitor the winter storm

More than 20 centimetres of snow fell in the Ottawa Valley Feb. 27. Another five cm. fell the next day, burying parked vehicles, trees and business signs such as this Eganville one under winter’s white blanket.

and adjust operations dependant upon the intensity and duration of the weather, and the precipitation type.

• Plow continuously and sand or salt to reduce slippery conditions during the storm and throughout the clean-up after the storm.

• Clear through lanes first, and then begin removing snow from exit ramps, turning lanes, truck climbing and passing lanes, shoulders and medians.

However: • A severe or long storm may delay the clearing of highways, even with the best efforts of road crews.

• It may take up to eight hours for plows or sanders to begin servicing ramps and low-volume highways.

• Extreme weather may result in closing the highway.

The Ontario Provincial Police throughout Renfrew County reminds you to always drive according to weather and road conditions. Please drive with extra care this winter.

Lenten sacrifice kept private with God wouldnʼt last a week.

I asked my sister Audrey if God would mind if I kept my sacrifice to myself.

If it would be diluted if I gave something up, and told no one.

Audrey said she would think about it.

Finally she said: “I see no reason why you have to tell anyone. Itʼs between you and God.” I said a silent thank-you for this bit of information.

I decided there and then to give up licorice pipes!

As far as Father was concerned, Mother had taken this Lent business too far.

Her giving up meat herself every Friday all year was one thing, but taking it off the menu for everyone during Lent was another kettle of fish altogether.

No meal was complete without a good platter of meat on the table, according to Father.

And now Lent was here, whatever that meant. And Father thought Motherʼs idea of not only giving up meat on Fridays for everyone, was right up there with asking a farmer to give up chores, but now she was pressing everyone to give up something they loved for the entire few weeks of Lent.!

She suggested Father might want to give up his pipe. As if to show his defiance, he put a match to it, which was already going at full steam ahead!

“It will be good discipline for the children,” Mother said, and she asked us to think long and hard at what each of us could sacrifice, all in the name of Lent.

Mother said if we wanted, we could give up something and not tell anyone else what it was. It would be our secret between us and God. Well, my sister Audrey wanted everyone to know she was giving up butter.

Audrey loved butter, especially since Mother started adding a few drops of yellow colouring to what came out of the churn.

Before that it was as white as the driven snow!

She was going through her religious phase, and she fell right in with Motherʼs orders that we five children think long and hard at what we could give up, all in the name of Lent.

My brother Earl wanted everyone to know he was giving up whittling.

Audrey thought it had to be something you ate. So Earl switched to turnips.

Emerson, who said he was giving up pie, lasted one meal.

So he switched to gum.

His chances of getting a package of gum were pretty slim back in the 30s, so that wasnʼt much of sacrifice for Emerson.

Everett loved dill pickles and he told everyone within earshot he wouldnʼt be taking another dill until Mother told him Lent was over.

Now, I loved my food. I ate every meal as if it was my last one on earth.

I hated headcheese and blood pudding, but this time of year our supply of both had pretty well run out.

I had no idea what I could give up that wouldnʼt seriously affect my mealtimes, and couldnʼt come up a thing.

I took my problem to my older and much wiser sister Audrey, who was always able to come up with a solution to just about anything that ailed me.

She suggested I give up either butterscotch discs or baloney both of which she knew I loved with a passion, ever so much more that licorice pipes and humbugs which Mr. Briscoe from Briscoesʼ

Memories

General Store often thrust in my hand.

Little did he know, I either used them to bribe my brother Emerson, or tossed them into the nearest shrubbery on the way home.

I had no taste for either.

Both of them always made me think of Cascara which Mother had great faith in, and whether we needed it or not, we were often made take a heaping spoonful “just in case.”

In case of what I had no idea!

I knew perfectly well if I gave up baloney or butterscotch discs, I

GM public works plans several projects in 2013 Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Greater Madawaska public works 2013 work plan was outlined at councilĘźs Feb. 18 meeting.

Some of the major highlights are storm sewer and parking lot reconstruction at the old Calabogie Public School in May; road widening and resurfacing of Flat Road in May and June; and the horizontal and vertical realignment and widening of both Ferguson Lake Road and Campground Side Road in July through October.

There will also be brushing and tree removal for safety precautions over the upcoming months along several roads.

Coun. Bruno Kierczak voiced his concern about the safety of the EagleĘźs Nest Trail area on Highway 508, just past Calabogie Peaks.

He said the road gets narrower and narrower as the snow builds up. “We want the area to become a popular tourist destination, and the road is so narrow that we want to make sure that anyone who is visiting there is

CLARIFICATION

On Feb. 22 police investigated an assault and are in the process of obtaining warrants for two males.

The details of the assault complaint are as follows: the victim was walking on Munroe Avenue East at about 9:20 p.m. he was approached from behind by two males and assaulted.

The victim was able to get away and reported the incident to police.

The victim was treated for minor injuries at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

OfďŹ cers were unable to locate the two male suspects; therefore arrest warrants are being sought for one adult male and one male youth.

Const. Marc Bennett is investigating. It should be noted that the victim knew the suspects and this was not a random attack.

One male was arrested in Quebec Feb. 27 and returned to Renfrew after an arrest warrant was issued for him. The investigation began on Jan. 4 when a locked vehicle was entered while parked at Calabogie Peaks and several items were stolen, including a credit card. The credit card was then used at several businesses in Renfrew and Chenaux. OfďŹ cers obtained video footage and two male suspects were observed in several of the videos. One male was positively identiďŹ ed and a warrant issued for his arrest Jan. 5.

The warrant was fulďŹ lled Feb. 27 when a 55-year-old Bryson, Que., man was arrested and returned to Renfrew.

The man was charged with three counts of possession of stolen property, three counts of personation, ďŹ ve counts of using a stolen credit card, two counts of theft under $5,000 and 1 count of mischief under $5,000. He was held in custody for a bail hearing on March 5.

90th birthday celebrated with friends and family Dicker Family

Patricia (Gallagher) Dicker turns 90.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Patricia (Gallagher) Dicker celebrated her 90th birthday on Feb. 16, at the home of Tom and Colleen Dicker.

The youngest of nine children, she was born in Douglas on Feb. 23, 1923 to Thomas and Margaret Gallagher.

Patsy was married to the late Frederick Dicker. After residing in Ottawa and London, Ont., they returned to raise a family of seven children in Douglas. She now resides in Ren-

frew.

Friends and family gathered to celebrate with her at a party hosted by her children, Jeff, John, Alan, Leona, Tom, Frances and Elizabeth.

Patsy was surrounded by many of her grandchildren and six of her seven great grandchildren.

Birthday wishes were received from the Prime Minister, Governor General and local politicians.

Given Patsy╩╝s continued enjoyment of politics throughout her life, these were much appreciated.

The 159th Renfrew Fair will be held Sept. 4 to 8.

This is the ďŹ rst of a monthly series to give all exhibitors an idea of what it is we look for when entering in the fair. We thought we would start with the art committee.

The art committee is comprised of the photography categories as well as paintings and drawings, garden art and woodworking.

There are categories for new exhibitors in the painting and woodworking sections for those of you who are considering entering.

COMMUNITY MARCH 7, 1913

VISITING OLD FRIENDS IN RENFREW: Mr. William Edmunds, who 30 years ago kept a grocery store in Renfrew in what is now the Shields Meat Market corner, and lived in the house which is now the residence of Postmaster Wright, is this week visiting the old scenes. In most of the time between, he has been farming near Drayton, North Dakota, but is now a resident of the thriving city of Grand Forks. He has been at the old home nearer Brockville for the last two months; and this week is with friends in the Northcote and Haleys section. His beard is still owing but is whitened with the years. It was astonishing how many old acquaintances he still could ďŹ nd here.

Renfrewites seem to hang on well to the old town.

C AT H O L I C YOUNG MENĘźS LITERARY SOCIETY: A meeting of the Catholic Young MenĘźs Society and Debating Society was held in the Separate School Hall on Sunday evening. Rev. Father A.J. Reynolds presided. Mr. Joseph Murray of Pembroke addressed the meeting in a very interesting and instructive manner, explaining the beneďŹ ts of the so-

The judges were Rev. Father Boyer and Messrs. John Devine, John Connolly, P. Hogan and Joseph Murray. This society was readily organized for the education of the young men at St. Francis XavierĘźs Parish. There was a large attendance of both the young and older men of the parish.

TRINITY ANNIVERSARY SUPPER HAD HEAVY PATRONAGE: Anniversary services in Trinity-St. AndrewĘźs United Church on Sunday last were followed by the customary supper in Trinity Hall on Monday eve-

ning. For quality, the supper took high rank, while the service was of a like standard.

A legion of patrons ďŹ lled their long tables for about three hours commencing at 5:30.

Diners had praise for every dish, with special emphasis on the baked beans. From the supper, a neat sum was netted to implement the very liberal Sunday collections.

ANOTHER CUT MADE IN TOWN TAX: At Tuesday eveningĘźs meeting of Town Council, the estimates were brought down revealing a reduction in the tax rate, the fourth in succession. There was a one mill cut in 1935, the same in 1936, three in 1937, and one in 1938, which is ďŹ ne work in civic ďŹ nancing, especially when at the same time liabilities are decreasing steadily. Little was said of the situation on Tuesday evening, due in a discussion of the matter in committee of the whole at a previous meeting; besides, there was a somewhat heavy agenda inclusive of the reading of long bylaws, the ďŹ rst of several to be revised.

Wolves claw, fight way to 2-0 lead Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The game brought back memories of some of the oldtime playoff battles these two teams had in the 1990s.

The Renfrew Timberwolves and Perth Blue Wings didnʼt like each other then, and they donʼt like each other now.

But when the game that produced 231 penalty minutes and 11 goals ended at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre Sunday night, it was the Wolves who owned a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division championship series.

A wild second period of a 7-4 Renfrew victory featured six goals – three by each team – and seven player ejections, including five as a result of a brawl 3:04 into the period.

By the end of the night, each team had lost the services of four players.

WOLVES 7, PERTH 4

Casey Doner had three goals to pace the Wolves attack, capped by an open-net tally with 1:27 remaining.

Kurtis Leclaire, Colin Bradbury, Dallas Farr and Drew Anderson added singles. Jesse Riopelle added three assists.

Anderson and defenceman Erik Mask drew two helpers.

Riley Kane, Shawn McGillivray, Tanner Knight and Jimmy Pearson answered in the goalscoring department for Perth.

The Wolves led 2-0 after 20 minutes on goals from Doner a minute in, and a Leclaire powerplay marker.

A couple of minutes after Kane narrowed the gap to 2-1 early in the second period, all hell broke loose.

When the melee ended, the Wolves were minus the services of Tanner Smith and Nolan Rook, while the Blue Wings lost Austin Lamont, Chris Rutley and Christian Bueti.

Renfrewʼs Ryan Eady and Perthʼs Ben Wade joined their compatriots after their own scrap about 10 minutes later, while Wolves defenceman Dylan Zavitske got the boot

UOV Tween C team brings home gold PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Casey Doner of the Wolves, right, looks for a tip-in or screen on Perth goalkeeper Jeremy Wright. Doner notched three goals in Sunday night’s 7-4 Renfrew victory. on a fighting call late in the final period.

Although the Wolves enjoyed the benefit of two extra major penalties assessed to the Blue Wings at the time of the brawl, their powerplay was unable to take advantage.

However, shortly thereafter, both Bradbury and Farr walked in and beat netminder Jeremy Wright with roof shots to make it 4-1.

Perth got its own extended two-man advantage late in the period, and cashed in on goals from McGillivray and Knight 24 ticks apart.

But perhaps the gameʼs biggest goal came with just eight seconds left in the period.

The Blue Wings were still on the powerplay when Anderson, Riopelle and Mask broke up ice with Anderson sinking a shorthanded putt to restore a two-goal Renfrew lead before the second intermission.

Doner upped the ante to 6-3 Renfrew midway through the final period.

Pearson came back with Perthʼs third powerplay goal of the night with 3:53 remaining, but that was as close as the Blue Wings would get.

Wolves goaltender Matt Gagne faced 34 shots and Wright 45.

UOV girls enjoying playoff success The Upper Ottawa Valley U10 girls had a great weekend. Two trips to Ottawa resulted in two wins.

UOV went in as playoff underdogs and every game is a must to win. UOV won their first game Saturday, 9-7 over West Ottawa Red. Malorey Lambert scored six goals, Lilly Kluke added two and Gabby Cayen one.

That put the girls up against Ottawa White, and UOV came out on top with a 12-8 win.

Malorey Lambert added nine goals to the scoresheet, Lilly Kluke counted two more, and Kailey MacLeod one.

The girls will continue to tie up their skates until championship weekend in Arnprior

on March 24 at a time still to be determined.

The Tween C girls tied Metcalfe 4-4. Carissa Moore, Megan Bennett, Renee St. Cyr and Daphnie Rose shared UOV goalscoring.

Rickell Blaedow was between the pipes.

The UOV U9 novice team played their first round of playoff games and outscored Metcalfe 7-5.

It was the full effort of every girl on the team to bring UOV the win. Emily Froats, Danica Osipenko and Alexie Woito scored two goals and Savhanna Lambert one.

The UOV U9 girls now advance to the semifinal March 23 in Gatineau.

The UOV U12B Petite squad topped GloucesterCumberland 6-2 Sunday.

Hannah Hubert had a fourgoal performance to lead the way. Erica Mosseau and Kaelyn McGrimmon added singles.

Kate Ryan earned three assists.

Carolyn Wytenburg was strong in picking up the goaltending victory.

This was their one and only playoff game. Because they won, the UOV Petites go directly to championship day March 24 in Arnprior.

Raiders locked horns with the Bishop Smith Crusaders in the Renfrew County boys hockey final Feb. 28 in Pembroke.

RCI trailed 3-0 before the game was three minutes old, battled back to drew even, fell behind and tied it again at 4-4, in dramatic fashion when Devin Clouthier stuffed a rebound home with only 2.3 seconds remaining in regulation time.

VALLEY BYTES

deserved a better fate than to be locked in a 0-0 deadlock one period into their Valley Division final in Perth last Friday night.

That certainly changed in the second. The Wolves came out of the blocks flying for period two. They netted four of the five goals scored the middle session en route to a 5-3 triumph over the regularseason division leaders in the Lanark County town.

Drew Anderson, Kurtis Leclaire, Colin Bradbury, and blueliners Lyle Stressman and Erik Mask supplied Renfrew goal production. Anderson, Jesse Riopelle and Ryan Eady added two assists.

Brett Madigan, Mike Smyth and Shawn McGillivray answered for Perth.

Renfrew took 17 penalties and Perth 15 on the night.

The series resumed with game three in Perth Wednesday night.

If the Wolves won, they would be in a position to wrap up their second Valley Division championship in three years Friday on home ice.

Game time at Ma-Te-Way is 8 p.m. Otherwise, the action continues Sunday in Perth at 7:45 p.m., next Wednesday in Renfrew at 8 p.m., and Friday, March 16 in Perth at 7:45 p.m.

THE RCDSB IS ISSUING A REQUEST FOR TENDER FOR ROOF REPLACEMENT AT VARIOUS RCDSB LOCATIONS.

peter.clark@metroland.com

The Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) receives funding to provide Grade 9 Try Day grants of up to $700 for 95 schools across the province.

Priority is given to schools with programs that are sustainable (equipment purchased for future years), rural and small schools, and schools applying for Try Day grants for the ďŹ rst time.

St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School has been involved in the Try Day program for a few years, and was successful again this year. “The grant comes from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and indicates their strong commitment to the importance of physical activity in the lives of our young people,â€? explained Mark Valliquette of the Jaguars coaching staff. “The Try Day initiative makes every effort to get more young people active, and to motivate those students entering Grade 9 to participate in school sports and physical activity throughout their high school years.â€?

Schools are provided with up to $700 to introduce a new sport of physical activity to their program.

Valliquette and Meghan CahillĘźs Grade 9 boys and girls classes participated in a tournament day in early February. “The equipment will continue to be used in our classes as well as be utilized by our hockey program when it resumes next fall,â€? Valliquette said.

Hockey for the fun of it

They ďŹ nished 29 points apart in a 19-game schedule, and McGrimmon Holdings held a decision edge over Pitt Contracting in wins, 17-to-two.

But suddenly, their best-of-three Renfrew MenĘźs Hockey League quarterďŹ nal series is going the distance.

Corey DoughertyĘźs second goal of the night on a powerplay at 2:26 of overtime lifted PittĘźs to a dramatic 6-5 win over the defending league champions last week. David Closs, Jordan Yolkowskie, Mitchell Jamieson and Ryan Cuthill added singles.

Tony Iob had three McGrimmon markers. Kip Mulvihill and Steve McDonald counted others.

Dane Brumm made 37 saves in the win. Chris Osborne faced 22 shots.

A second series is also going the distance after MilowenĘźs 4-1 triumph over Renfrew Pizzeria. Matt Thompson, Josh Eady, Drew McCullough and Corey Smart with a shorthanded tally, handled Milowen scoring.

Tyler Miller broke Steve BowesĘź shutout bid late in the third period.

Jon Rousselle was between the Pizzeria pipes.

Both of these series will be decided tonight (Thursday) at Ma-Te-Way. Cybulski Sheet Metal wrapped up its series with Rocky Mountain House in two straight with a 3-0 victory.

Chad Davis, Mike Butler and Denver Mullen scored in support of Steve MillerĘźs 19-save shutout.

Jeremy Scobie made 24 stops in the RMH goalcrease.

EOSSAA is a qualifying tournament for OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations), RCI had six wrestlers, St. JosephĘźs and Jeanne Lajoie two each, and Opeongo one.

Elliott champs crowned at Renfrew curling rink

Calabogie racers finish regular season with flair

Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

Anne Lefebvre Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Calabogie Ski Racing Clubʼs speedy athletes have wrapped up the regular season races, with championships right around the corner.

The U16 gang participated in the Art Tommy Memorial Super Combined on Feb. 23 and 24 at Mont SteMarie, Que. In a super combined race, racers complete a slalom run and a Super G run, combining finesse with swiftness.

The times for each race are added for the total score. On Feb. 23, Chris Pepin (Kinburn) went all out on both runs but wasnʼt able to finish. Aylen Ferguson (Carp) laid down two great races for 17th place. Gabrielle DʼAoust (Glenburnie) sped to 29th overall.

Chris came back for more on Feb. 24, putting down two solid races to finish 27th. Aylen raced to 25th and Gabrielle to 38th.

The U10 group raced in their final regular season race, a Kombi at Camp Fortune on March 3. They finished with flair!

All of these 7-to 9-year-old racers have put their hearts and effort into their training, and have steadily and rapidly improved as the season has progressed. Alex Wroe (Burnstown) ripped up the course and podiumed with a season-best fourth place, while Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) carved right in behind to snag a fifth-place ribbon.

Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) was a top-10 man again, speeding into ninth place. Nicholas McDermid (Burnstown) skied into 19th. Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie) left it all on the hill, coming in eighth after the first run and DSQing on the second after tangling with a gate.

Thys Blok (White Lake) wrote himself a similar story, with a DSQ on the first run but a time good enough for 13th on his second run. The girls posted respectable results as they get better each day: Louise Stonham (Arnprior) sped to 14th, Nicole Duff (Pembroke) pulled off a 25th place, and Carly Alexander (Carp) laid down two solid runs for 27th.

March is championship month. All of the age groups will end the winter with these final races. U14 and U16 were March 2 and 3, with the U14s also off to provincials March 14-16; U10 and U12 are March 16 and 17.

Calabogie racers Alex Wroe of Burnstown and Jeremy Van Grunsven of Odessa celebrate on the podium with respective fourth- and fifth-place finishes last weekend. Other competitors on at the podium are race winner Owen Clark of Mont Ste-Marie, Kaiden Villeneuve of Camp Fortune in second place, and Ben Chadwick of Camp Fortune in third.

In this weekʼs Low Cup action the senior men travelled to Deep River needing to make up ground against Pembroke.

Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Ed Hanson and Andy Humphries did their part, fighting back from a deficit with nine points in the last two ends to take the morning game and then blowing open a tight afternoon game to take their two games.

The team of Dave Eady, Rory McKay, Dwight Hayward and Larry Visneskie didnʼt get the shots they needed all day and lost their two games. This puts Renfrew into a must-win situation the rest of the way.

Healthcare providers in Renfrew County will now be better equipped to share information on diabetes management with their patients and clients who are at risk for diabetes or living with the disease thanks to the success of a one-day symposium Feb. 1 at the Marguerite Centre in Pembroke.

Hosted by the Renfrew County Diabetes Education Program in partnership with the Canadian Diabetes Association and the Champlain Diabetes Regional Coordination Centre, “Diabetes Management from Head to Toe” attracted 95 participants from all areas of the healthcare community.

“We were very pleased to have had a wide range of healthcare professionals in attendance who are all key partners we work with as part of the client’s continuum of care,” said diabetes education program cooordinator Karen Roosen, noting nursing students, physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, paramedics, staff from the health unit and hospitals, personal support workers, nurses and dietitians were among those tak-

ing part.

“It was a very interactive day and a good opportunity for providers to be able to network and better understand the roles and responsibilities we each have in the system as well as learning about the resources that are available,” Roosen said, adding that presentations covered a variety of topics from eye care to foot care and everything in between.

She said that many of the speakers also recognized the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to care and being able to provide current and consistent information to patients and clients, regardless of who they are speaking to.

In addition to the presentations, participants could attend a trade show and fitness demonstrations, or visit display booths featuring local health-related programs and partners including the Renfrew County Diabetes Education Program, Champlain Community Care Access Centre, Champlain Diabetes Regional Coordination Centre, Steps CountDiabeters, Carefor, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, Canadian Diabetes Association, Ottawa Valley Health and

(3"/% 306/%4 A more complete range of health care services has been made available at RVH through our linkages with the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN).

“This service has grown a tremendous amount in the past year,” comments RVH Vice-President of Patient Care Services, Chris Ferguson.

In 2011, RVH was affiliated with just 24 consultants in 17 different specialities across the network. The service expanded to 50 consultants in 30 different areas in 2012. Currently there are 57 consultants at our fingertips.

The growth is due to an increase in funding for the program that has allowed the hospital to employ a full-time facilitator.

“The new funding from the Champlain LHIN has allowed us to grow and expand an already busy service with the focus of providing care closer to home to a significant number of patients,” adds Ferguson.

The OTN enables more timely access to care and reduces the physical distance needed to travel for that care using stateof-the-art video conferencing technologies

over a secure network. RVH relies on the service for patient consultations with specialists located at other hospitals. OTN also offers many educational events, which are regularly attended by our nursing staff and physicians.

“In some cases we’ve been able to decrease wait times to see some of the specialists,” says Bonnie Nolan, RPN Facilitator of the OTN program for RVH. “It cuts out the driving time for some of our specialists, too,” explains RVH OTN Coordinator and Nurse Manager, Kim Dick.

She notes as an example that Dr. Nicole Delbrouck is able to see her patients located in Barry’s Bay, Deep River, Pembroke and Arnprior in a more timely manner.

Benefits for local patients include less financial strain incurred in transportation costs and high parking fees in larger centres, and less stress having to navigate around an unfamiliar hospital, adds Dick.

“Since the allocation of Renfrew County’s enhanced funding for the Telemedicine Nursing Initiative in April 2012, significant growth and expansion has been recognized in all the identified priority areas: mental

health, pre-diabetes and diabetes, complex accustomed to talking online using services health conditions and pre-/post-op care,” like Skype in their personal lives. explains Karen Roosen, Chair of Renfrew Much of the success of the program Country Subregional Telemedicine Network. is related to the enthusiasm of Dick “Renfrew has been working collaboraand Nolan, notes Ferguson. Two other tively with our Renfrew County Subregional nurses also assist Dick with programing Telemedicine Network and has demonTelemedicine appointments. strated particular growth and expansion in Nolan says that she provides any nursing psychiatry, pre-op, respirology, pediatrics, requirements, special camera equipment or cardiac rehab and dermatology.” stethoscope connection to the monitoring Regular visiting physicians have been system on one of five platforms located able to take advantage of the program to throughout the hospital. reduce their commuting hours, as is the case “Bonnie does so much work behind for Dr. Jennifer Block. The Respirologist has the scenes and everyone at RVH has done worked with RVH patients for more than a phenomenal job to grow the service for three years. To decrease the need to travel Renfrew patients,” says Dr. Block. in unpredictable winter weather, she has been meeting patients on a monitor in one of our Telemedicine rooms.

She drives to Renfrew once each month and conducts two appointment days on the OTN and, like Dr. Delbrouck, is able to see more patients each time.

“Once we start communication and patients can see for themselves there’s no noticeable lag, they realize it’s no different than meeting in person,” says Dr. Jennifer Block, Respirologist, is able to consult with Dr. Block, mentioning that patients in Renfrew from her office in Ottawa via the many people are already Ontario Telemedicine Network.

His 20-year-old company is Miller Engineering Quality Assurance (MEQA) WorkSafe Ontario, which conducts safety training and International Standards Organization certiďŹ cation. In keeping with MEQAĘźs orientation, the company started has begun a new program called Act Your Age. The name is very appropriate, says the Renfrew resident, whoĘźs offering the service just for seniors in town, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we want seniors to start thinking like seniors, to reduce their risk of injury in the home.â&#x20AC;?

Miller, who recently turned 70, already has several of his own safety recommendations in place at home, where he lives with his wife Sandra.

This happens, says Miller, while becoming more aware of current or potential hazards in the dwelling.

The program is also aimed at the children, other concerned relatives and friends of seniors who are concerned about the safety of seniors inside and outside the home.

Miller, who began offering the program in February 2013, is charging $25 for his presentation and any necessary followup to recommendations made

minutes, depending on the clientĘźs number of questions.

Continued from page Several of MillerĘźs recommendations are illustrated with cartoon characters, to provide some levity to the presentation.

A major recommendation is reducing the hot-water temperature, by a simple turn of the temperature control on the hot water tank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reduce your electricity bill and youĘźre much safer,â&#x20AC;? says Miller.

Other safety steps include the use of motion-detection lights on stairs, non-slip rugs in the bathroom and other rooms, time-limit coffee pots and stove elements, and safety bars in the bathtub and/or shower.

Miller, whoĘźs a town councillor, sits on the fundraising committee for the health services village.

Falls, burns and cuts are the major injuries that seniors can sustain in the home. However, these same injuries can be sharply reduced by taking simple and usually inexpensive steps, says Miller.

When Miller ďŹ rst visits an Act Your Age client, he provides a DVD on slips and falls, and ďŹ re safety, that lasts less than 10 minutes.
