Chapleau Health Services Senior Transportation Van Gearing Up Submitted by SSCHS he Senior Transportation Va n w i l l b e providing same day out-of-town medical transportation to senior's aged 60 and older.

The program has no operating dollars, therefore will operate on a fee basis to cover operating costs and will use volunteer drivers. The flat fee will be closely matched to the Northern Travel Grant in order to minimize out of pocket costs to users. Transportation will be provided to Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury on an “asavailable” basis.

Availability will be based on volunteer and vehicle availability.

All volunteers

T

go through a screening and training process, which includes occupational health clearance, criminal check, first aid certified, and vehicle safety training.

Presently the program has recruited three volunteer drivers but we are still looking for more. If you are interested in being a volunteer driver please call Julia at 705-8643061.

The program is aiming to launch in February, in order to access the service seniors may call the hospital reception office at 705-8641520, press 0, during regular business hours.

Reception will take your information and see if a volunteer driver can be matched with

your request. If you are a first time user of the van you will also receive a call from our Community Care Coordinator RN who will complete a short client information form with you over the phone.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Senior Transportation Van, please call 705-8641520 ext. 0.

Results of Senior Transportation Needs Assessment At the end of 2013, Chapleau Health Services conducted a needs assessment for senior transportation.

Seniors aged 60 and older from Chapleau, Sultan and Foleyet were asked to complete the survey. Overall 79

surveys were completed (62% English & 38% French).

The majority of those surveyed indicated that they were able to drive (76%). A summary of the highest needs revealed from the survey was as follows: · Those who are unable or uncomfortable driving out of town indicated that they may access the service. Many seniors expressed discomfort with driving out of town in winter months.

76% of seniors indicated they would like the service for out of town travel. · Only 43% of seniors would pay for the service, 19% were unsure. · Majority of seniors indicated that

they would like to access transportation services during the hours of 9 am to 4 pm. · Many seniors expressed concern with the limited hours of the existing in town C h a p l e a u Tr a n s i t service. It was requested that the transit remain open during lunch hour and past 2:30 so they were able to access services and appointments in town.

The present hours are preventing many from using the system.

Feedback regarding the Chapleau Transit system will be passed onto the Township of Chapleau who operates that system.

Chapleau Health Services is launching the Senior Transporta-

tion Van in February in order to help seniors aged 60 and older to access out of town medical appointments.

The cost of the service to seniors will be closely matched to the travel component received from the Northern Health Travel Grant program, thereby minimizing the out of pocket costs to seniors. For information or to access this program please call 705-864-1520 ext. 0.

Chapleau Health Services would like to thank all those seniors who took the time to participate in the needs assessment, your feedback is valuable to helping all service providers improve services to seniors.

Alexandre Langis cleared land for townsite of Chapleau in 1885 and later became general merchant

Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris

I n 1 8 8 5 Alexandre Langis arrived at Mileage 615.1 on the Canadian Pacific Railway with a contract from the company to clear the land that would become the townsite of Chapleau.

B o r n i n Rimouski, Quebec, Mr. Langis, who would later become a general merchant, had been working in Biscotasing before moving to Chapleau. For sure, he was one of the commu-

nity's pioneer citizens.

After fulfilling h i s c o n t r a c t , M r.

Langis, became a CPR employee, first as a trainman and later as conductor.

In 1891, he married Marie Louise Mageau of Le Bic, and the young couple became active members of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church.

Helen Wolfe, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kruger, in an article about the Langis family written

at the time of the Roman Catholic church centennial celebration, related that at one time Mr. and Mrs. Langis shared a house with Mr. and Mrs. James Rose which she said was located on the west side of Beech Street near the CPR tracks.

(Note: Mr. and Mrs. Rose lived on the west side of Pine Street which I think later became the Babin residence. Does anyone recall if they moved from Beech to Pine at some point, sort of across the street and a lane!)

M r s . Wo l f e related that the "two women got along beautifully sharing a

Wolfe and Collins store, established by Mr Langis and his various partners.

The Langis family with Father Routhier kitchen" even though Mrs. Rose could not understand French and Mrs. Langis could not understand English.

In 1901 Mr. Langis left the CPR and started a business with E. Jackman in 1902 at 4 Birch Street West at Birch and Young streets, in a building which at the time was owned by Patrick Mulligan, my great-great uncle. In later years the building housed the Dominion store and then Bank of Montreal for a time.

A l b e r t Desjardins came to Chapleau in 1908 from Montreal and bought out Mr. Jackman so the name was changed to Desjardins and Langis, General Merchants.

In 1909 they relocated to the southwest corner of Birch and Lorne streets which for a short time had been the site of the first Roman Catholic church.

Later, Harry Wolfe, who was the s o n - i n - l a w o f M r.

Langis, purchased the i n t e r e s t s o f M r.

Desjardins, and in 1924 the store became known as Langis and Wolfe.

I n 1 9 2 8 , Charles W. Collins, the son of Mr. and P.J. Collins, who had arrived in Chapleau in 1909, bought out Mr. Langis and the store became known as Wolfe and Collins. The Collins name has been associated with ownership of a store at that location ever since.

Mr. and Mrs. Langis later lived on Lorne Street near the Roman Catholic church. They also enjoyed "picnics down the lake" at Mulligan's

This is house where Mr and Mrs James Rose lived on Pine Street. Did they also live at similar location on Beech Street?

Bay where they built a camp, later owned by Mansel Robinson.

They had four children Joseph, Wilfred, Lydia and Julia. Julia was a charter member of the C a t h o l i c Wo m e n ' s League in Chapleau.

I have really just provided a glimpse into the life of Mr. Langis and his contribution to Chapleau -and opened the door a bit on the Rose, Jackman, Desjardins, Wolfe and Collins families, and of course my own Mulligan ancestors.

Une jeune fille de Chapleau a su déjouer la meilleure Young Chapleau Goalie Shuts Out Top Quebec équipe de hockey féminine intermédiaire du Québec Women's Intermediate Hockey Team Lors d'un tournoi élite de hockey à Cornwall les 10 et 11 janvier, l'équipe de hockey féminine Midget (moins de 17 ans) de l'Académie canadienne et internat i o n a l e d u h o c k ey (ACIH) a affronté des équipes intermédiaires (moins de 20 ans).

L'entraîneur de l'équipe, Monsieur Corey Macdonald, a pris la décision d'inscrire son équipe dans ce tournoi car cette année, les filles font fureur, ayant déjà remporté deux championnats et ayant remporté presque toutes les joutes lors de la saison régulière.

Les filles ont joué avec brio et les résultats étaient très impressionnants. Lors des éliminatoires les filles se sont méritées soit des victoires ou des égalités; aucune défaite. En finale, elles ont affronté les

Titans du Cégep de Limoilou, l'équipe qui a remporté le tournoi provincial au Québec en 2011-2012 et 20122013 et qui se situe présentement en première place dans la ligue de la RSEQ. Après une partie très excitante et très mouvementée, les Vo y a g e u s e s o n t compté le seul et unique but pour remporter la victoire.

Un gros facteur pour cette victoire fut la performance de la gardienne de but, Céline Tessier. Lors d'une première joute contre les Titans de Limoilou pendant les éliminatoires, elle a reçu plus de 40 tirs au filet pour se mériter un premier blanchissage.

Lors de la finale contre les Titans, elle a reçu plus de 30 tirs pour se mériter un deuxième blanchissage. Ce deuxième blanchissage, ainsi que le but

compté par une coéquipière, a assuré la victoire et le championnat pour les Vo y a g e u s e s d e l'ACIH.

On January 11th at an elite hockey tournament in Cornwall Ontario, the Tier 1 AA Canadian and International

Hockey Academy women's midget (under 17) Voyageurs played in their first intermediate (under 20) hockey tournament. The team's coach made the decision to register the girls for their first intermediate tournament because they have been having a phenomenal season.

To date, they've only had one loss in regular league play with a record of 9 – 1 – 1 and they've won gold at their last two tournaments.

The girls played with grit and determination and their hard work paid off. During round robin play, they won or tied all their games.

They earned a spot in the championship game against the Cégep de Limoilou Titans. The Titans are currently the #1

intermediate team in Quebec and won the provincial championships in 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. After an exciting edge of your seat hockey game, the CIHA Voyageurs score the one and only goal to win the game and the championship.

Chapleau's own Céline Tessier played between the pipes for the Voyageurs and was an important factor in the team's performance.

In their first round robin game, the Voyageurs met up with t h e Ti t a n s w h e r e Céline blocked over 40 shots during that game and earned her first shutout. That game ended in a 0-0 tie. In the finals, Céline blocked over 30 shots to shut the Titans out a second time and preserve her team's one goal lead for the championship.

NEWS FROM THE PARK BY Mike Mantha Provincial Member of Parliament for Algoma-Manitoulin

Since the legislature has risen I have enjoyed the past two months of touring the riding and meeting with many of you. The cold weather and snow doesn't slow us northerners down. I have been fortunate to spend time in many communities across AlgomaManitoulin over the winter break and participate in the many cultural and winter festivities occurring in your communities.

There are several upcoming community events I hope to attend and encourage you to come out, participate and show your support.

It is a great

opportunity for me to stay in touch with old friends and make many new ones. I enjoy taking advantage of any opportunity to stop and meet with the residents in all areas of the riding and listen to their stories, concerns, issues, or just exchange smiles and many laughs.

Chapleau Express, February 1, 2014 - Page 8

Wynne's Pension Bait & Switch Ontario’s premier Kathleen Wynne has invoked the assistance of former Prime Minister Paul Martin to help her address the latest quagmire in Ontario: perceived lack of retirement savings and potential shortfalls in the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).

Is this more prepositioning for a tax hike, or a good sign for the fiscally sound?

Paul Martin is considered by many to be a fiscal hawk. After all, as Canada’s finance minister he made the rare accomplishment of balancing the federal budget. Back in 1994, M r. M a r t i n c a l l e d payroll taxes “a cancer on job creation,” referring to Employment Insurance (EI) taxes and CPP taxes.

1994 Paul Martin was absolutely correct.

When employers are forced to pay more per

employee, they have less money leftover to create jobs or offer higher wages.

But it appears Mr. Martin has had a change of heart. On Wednesday, he told reporters that any increases in CPP premiums would not affect take home pay because of declining EI taxes. He erroneously said that EI payroll taxes are declining in Ontario.

W h i l e E I payroll taxes were once declining, this is no longer the case, and they have been steadily increasing since 2008.

As the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pointed out in its annual N e w Ye a r ’s Ta x Changes report, increases in CPP taxes have far outpaced any savings from EI over the past two decades.

In 2008, the typical employee in Canada paid $711 in EI payroll taxes. The number has risen to

$914. And while, EI taxes on employees have fallen from 1994 numbers when the typical Canadian contributed on average $1,197, total employee payroll taxes have grown. In 1994, a typical Canadian employee paid $2,003 annually in combined payroll taxes, while today the combined tax paid is $3,339.

This represents a 67 per cent increase, hardly a negligible increase.

Mr. Martin also contended that payroll taxes are not, in fact, a tax, but instead an “investment in the future.” Perhaps he is unaware that the federal government will collect $4.2 billion more in EI taxes than it will pay out in EI benefits. The remainder, of course, will be siphoned into the vast coffers of government.

recommendations on how Ontario can address retirement security without raising taxes.

First, encourage the federal government to use the other payroll tax – EI – to help top-up retirement savings. By creating an Employment Insurances Savings Account to replace the current scheme, a twoincome family that starts contributing at age 25 and are fortunate enough to remain employed throughout their careers could save $1.07 million by the time they retire. Not a bad nest egg.

Second, give taxpayers a break. It’s no wonder everyday Ontario families have a difficult time saving for retirement when they are nickel-and-dimed by their government with higher taxes, increased premiums, new userfees and soaring energy rates. Worst of all, taxpayers are on the hook for bailing out

wealthy government employees and their golden parachutes.

Discussions about retirement savings should be geared toward helping people keep more of their own money, not scheming new ways to claw it back.

And while Premier Wynne is on the topic of retirement savings, she should address the pension problems within her own government and put an end to definedbenefit pension plans for government workers.

These plans should be replaced with definedcontribution plans, or the made-in-Canada “shared risk” pension model that was recently introduced in New Brunswick.

It’s a good sign that the Premier wants to discuss retirement reform, but she should do so while keeping Ontario taxpayers top of mind.

check every two weeks when our pay cheques come in, money the government takes away from us is a tax.

Especially when that money goes into general revenue.

But all this talk of a “made-in-Ontario” solution to CPP begs the question of why Premier Wynne is budding her nose into something that has long been handled by the federal government? Ontario has not even been able to manage what they are responsible for: Ontario government employee pensions. These plans face far more severe funding shortfalls than the CPP; in fact, taxpayers are scheduled to pay $142 million per year in “special contributions” to bail out the Public Service Pension Plan alone, not to mention other underfunded plans.
