Canada, he says.

Ferrier agrees with the need for more PSWs but also calls for stricter accountability.

"We need governance of the PSWs so that there is a way to get rid of the bad and protect the good," she says.

The OPSWA has been lobbying the Liberal government for two years to become the governing body "so that we can hold these monsters accountable."

The association has membership requirements - a code of ethics, scope of practice, standards of practice and a complaints and discipline board - but membership is voluntary.

The organization would also like to see one curriculum for all PSWs, along with expectations for retraining and the ability to blacklist workers charged with abuse.

For Jensen, changes can’t come soon enough.

Despite long days filled with everything from cardplaying to catheter insertion, she says she can’t picture herself doing anything else.

"I like being able to listen to their stories and know that I can be there for someone when their families can’t. It’s what I was meant to do."

There are no regulated staffing ratios for PSWs and it’s not unusual for one ward to have two PSWs for up to 30 clients, Ferrier says.

Workers complain of pressure to take shifts on their day off, waking up clients extra early to get everyone ready for breakfast, running out of supplies because of cost-cutting by long-term care homes.

"Everyone’s too afraid to speak up, afraid to lose their job. They’re beaten down," Ferrier says.

"The attitude is ’They’re just there to wipe butts ...’

They’re bottom of the totem pole, but what happens if you take away the bottom of the totem pole? It falls down.

"PSWs are wonderful people. They need to be properly supported by their government and they’re not."

Aug. 1, the Ontario government announced a public inquiry into long-term care following the conviction of former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer of murdering eight seniors in her care.

The inquiry is to focus on improving safety of seniors in long-term, said Attorney General Yasir Naqvi.

Ontario Long Term Care Association praised the move: "This has been an extraordinarily difficult time for the entire long-term care sector and it is our hope that this inquiry will ultimately strengthen our sector by identifying any systemic changes that are needed to

At the same time, in response to recent investigations into sexual assault by a PSW at Mackenzie Health, the Ontario Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care said it is considering the creation of a mandatory registry for PSWs, one that would ensure oversight and accountability.

But those working in the field aren’t sure that a registry, or an inquiry focused on one particular case, will solve the problem.

Ontario Council of Hospital Unions president Michael Hurley wants systemic changes, including a legislated minimum average of four worked hours of nursing and personal care per resident per day. Staffing and funding are lower in Ontario than the rest of

Regulation of PSWs needed to root out bad apples

TheLiberal.

It’s not an easy job, but someone has to do it.

Personal support workers, or PSWs, have been referred to as the "backbone" of Canada’s long-term care system as they provide aid to those in need such as the elderly, the sick and people living with disabilities. And yet, despite the vital service PSWs provide, they are poorly paid, understaffed, sometimes disrespected by other health care workers and suffer from a high rate of burnout at a time when demand for their services is at an all-time high and only expected to increase as our population ages.

All of that makes it difficult to retain good people, Ontario Personal Support Workers Association president Miranda Ferrier says, and creates a revolving door that sees caregivers coming and going. Such a climate can allow abusers and others of nefarious intent to slip in.

"For predators, it’s a prime job," Ferrier says. "You’re dealing with the most vulnerable and there is little oversight."

Examples of PSWs behaving badly are plentiful. One story features video of an elderly, dementia patient in Ottawa being punched in the face multiple times by a personal care worker, while another describes how a PSW in Toronto, on his first day in the job, was caught on camera sexually assaulting a client.

More locally, a Newmarket PSW was accused by six families of sexually assaulting elderly and vulnerable women.

Unfortunately, it’s not difficult for PSWs with a history of misconduct and/or criminal behavior to remain employed. PSWs are unregulated and ungoverned, which means finding a new job, and potentially more victims, can be as easy as applying for work in another facility or a different community.

The demand for PSWs serves to exacerbate the problem.

The province hopes to improve the safety of seniors in long-term care following the case of former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer who murdered eight seniors in her care. Similarly, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is exploring the possibility of a creating a mandatory registry for PSWs following investigations into sexual assault by a PSW at Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill.

The OPSWA has 25,000 members, all of whom are subjected to nationally enhanced criminal record checks among other professional requirements, but membership is voluntary.

"We need governance of the PSWs so that there is a way to get rid of the bad and protect the good," Ferrier says.

We agree. Ensuring minimum standards of training and rooting out potentially dangerous individuals is the least we can do for our elders and others requiring the services of PSWs.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Ottawa should act to stop methane pollution The natural gas/ fracked gas industry is intentionally releasing methane into the air 24 hours a day. Most of these emissions are not being measured, monitored or reported.

Researchers recently discovered that methane emissions from the LNG/ fracking sector are at least two-and-a-half times higher than the government estimates, meaning the LNG/fracking industry is much dirtier than we’ve been told.

The federal government released its strategy to reduce potent methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. However, these regulations do not address the

full extent of the problem and need to be strengthened for them to help Canada deliver on our emissions-reduction commitment and help us transition swiftly into a clean-energy economy.

Given the U.S. president’s stand about the environment, it’s even more important for Ottawa to stand against oil and gas industry to stop methane pollution.

Was there a declaration of war, if so, against which country?

In the case of Afghanistan, were the troops invited by the Afghan government to come in and fight?

If it is not an invitation then would this not constitute an aggression against Afghanistan?

Would that not likewise imply permission to any Afghan to fight against the aggressor?

In Khadr’s case, would any democratic government imprison a person without trial or legal representation for 15 years?

Likewise would a citizen of any democratic government be allowed to be so imprisoned and made to confess a crime without legal representation or the imprisoning government be exempt from paying compensation?

It seems strange that the United States bans (or something like it) its citizens from visiting Cuba and goes ahead and establishes a prison in Cuba.

There are many more questions of ethics about such conduct.

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process The Project Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion. Metrolinx intends to proceed with the project in accordance with the EPR. Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network.

To support this service increase, Metrolinx is undertaking the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project which includes the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains.

30-day Public Review Period Begins August 9 The environmental effects of this transit project were assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The EPR for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion is now available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and the following locations for a 30-day public review period starting August 9, 2017 and ending September 7, 2017.

Sometimes it takes a bit of distance to gain a clearer perspective on the things closest to you.

While I was on vacation in the Yukon last month, two conversations about journalism got me thinking about our local newspapers.

The first, I heard on CBC Radio. The hosts of Seat at the Table were interviewing famed Canadian journalist, author and speaker Malcolm Gladwell, who offered this response to a question about the state of news media: "This is the golden age of journalism."

He’s right, I concluded after some reflection.

Push aside all the statistics about declining advertising revenues and shrinking newsrooms.

Focus instead on the readers. Never has the public had greater access to information - which means more people than ever before can read the stories our journalists write. The flip

woman wished our newspapers a long future.

My takeaway from these conversations was: When we get it right, our readers will be there.

It’s as simple and as challenging as that.

When we succeed, it is because you are engaged and we are writing about the issues that matter to you. When we fail, it is because we’ve missed the mark.

Which is why I am excited to introduce you to Connect, a new kind of publicpowered journalism.

Here’s how it works: Go to yorkregion.com/connect and ask a question- about any issue, big or small.

Our reporters will investigate the most popular questions and report back to you, online and in our newspapers.

Let’s get started.

LEE ANN WATERMAN From the Newsroom side of this is the need to be able to filter that information, to know that it has been researched not just retweeted - and this is where journalists can shine.

The second came during a behind-the-scenes tour of historic sites in Dawson. As we examined the old printing presses, typesetting equipment and back issues of the long-defunct Dawson Daily News, I shared what I did for a living. That led to questions about my job and comments about newspapers in general from a few fellow tour-goers. One

People test positive for West Nile virus, Lyme disease in York Region ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com Watch out for the West Nile virus and Lyme disease, the Regional Municipality of York warns.

One human case of West Nile virus and three human cases of Lyme disease have been identified in York Region.

The case of West Nile virus was confirmed as travel-related, while three mosquito traps in York Region tested positive for West Nile virus earlier this year.

Of the three cases of Lyme disease, two were contracted locally from blacklegged ticks.

"Increased rainfall has contributed to rising mos-

quito populations and ongoing surveillance shows us blacklegged ticks are present in York Region," said the region’s medical officer of health, Dr. Karim Kurji.

"Being informed and taking precautions when outdoors remain the best methods of personal protection."

The West Nile virus is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Residents spending time outdoors should take steps to prevent bites.

Lyme disease is passed to humans through the bites of infected blacklegged ticks.

If you find a tick, remove it quickly and store it in a resealable plastic con-

tainer to take to York Region Public Health office for identification and testing.

Quick removal of a tick within 24 hours greatly reduces the chance of infection. Consult your health care provider in case of a bite.

TIPS TO PREVENT AND PROTECT: . Clean up standing water . Cover up when you go outdoors with light-coloured clothing . Use insect repellent . Shower when you get home . Check yourself for ticks and remove any as quick as possible For more information, visit york.ca/westnile and york.ca/lymedisease.

Help students go back to school equipped to learn TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com The Richmond Hill Salvation Army is looking to the community to help students return to school fully equipped to learn.

The organization’s annual back-to-school drive is underway, and volunteers are collecting donations to stuff backpacks and provide children who will otherwise go without with what they need before

the bell rings come September.

Last year, the drive served over 200 local students, according to Richmond Hill Salvation Army Family Services Co-ordinator Mary Halbert.

"It is a good feeling when the community rallies around local kids," she said. "It really boosts these students’ self-esteem when they can go to school with something new."

Items that are most

needed include high school age backpacks, math sets, graph paper, duo tangs, scissors, subject dividers, pencil sharpeners, lunch bags, and pencil cases but any school-related items are welcome.

Monetary donations would also help the organization purchase needed items.

For more information, contact the Salvation Army at 905-737-0496.

A beginner’s guide to buying appliances With so many options to consider, shopping for appliances can sometimes feel overwhelming. Function, size and design — it’s about finding the right model for your lifestyle. Here are a few helpful insights from The Home Depot Canada to consider before making your next appliance purchase.

REFRIGERATOR Function. The sky’s the limit when it comes to configuration — top-mount, bottom-mount and side-by-side are just the beginning. Review your daily needs and consider special features such as easy access doors, multi-tier freezer sections, icemakers, second refrigerator drawer options, convertible freezer sections, wine chillers and even smart home-connected capabilities.

Design. Think outside traditional white or stainless-steel finishes. In-

stead, bring a contemporary feel to your kitchen with slate, glossy or matte black stainless or even a warm, goldhued veneer.

and boiling. If you have small children, induction cooking is a safer alternative because the coils are underneath glass, protecting little hands.

RANGE

DISHWASHER

Configuration. New designs have a host of convenient options available, like double ovens that cook at two different temperatures simultaneously and warming and baking drawers to help with multi-tasking and entertaining. If space is tight, also consider installing a separate cooktop for maximum flexibility in your kitchen.

Capability. Take the work out of washing dishes by opting for a dishwasher with multiple tiers and washer arms for full water coverage. To ensure your cycle doesn’t stop until your dishes are clean, look for models with new sensor technology that monitor food debris in the water. Ensure the model you choose considers future changes to your family size so it grows with you, and look into getting a model with a third rack.

Cooking requirements. If take-out is your regular go-to, a standard electric model will work for your needs. However, if you are an aspiring chef take it up a notch and consider going with either gas or induction, which both deliver intense heat for quick cooking

Efficiency. Energy efficient options can provide long-term savings to your monthly bills. For example, two-drawer dishwashers operate like separate dish-

washers in one unit, offering increased flexibility and efficiency. To save you time, look for bonus features like quiet

operation or advanced cleaning functions.

4 things to think about when listing your home Whether you’re looking to downsize into a smaller abode or want to find a new home that fits your growing needs, there are a few key considerations that you must face to maximize the return on your real estate investment.

“The decision to sell a home is often one of the most important choices that anyone can make in their lifetime,” explains Brad Johnstone of Royal LePage Niagara Real Estate Centre. “While this decision may sometimes seem nerve-racking, it doesn’t need to be. By asking the right questions and seeking out the best support, sellers can effectively streamline the process and take full advantage of their earning potential.”

Homeowners looking to list their properties should consider the following four tips to ensure that their experience is a good one: 1. Research prospective agents. As with anything, a realtor’s skillset can vary. While some may specialize in condominiums, others may focus on the luxury market. Before selecting your agent, be sure to do your homework and make sure they are a good fit. Generally, it is best to select one with a deep understanding of your property type and area.

2. Interview your agent and ask for a presentation. Arrange to meet with a prospective agent while all decision-makers are at the table. This will allow you to make an informed decision and fig-

ure out how they will help you sell your home.

3. Be transparent. Make sure your agent knows what’s on your mind. Are you concerned about the timeliness of the sale? Are you firm on a certain price? Any information that you can pro-

vide will help smooth out the selling process and improve your satisfaction.

4. Pricing. Regardless of whether it’s a buyer’s, seller’s or balanced market, a home that is priced
