Lack of oversight, funding tied to abuse l Continued from page 1
struggle with it because it makes the rest of us look bad. The majority of us are in this field for the right reason. The majority of us care." She is passionate about her career, inspired by the relationship between her grandmother and her caregiver. But being a PSW is no easy task and the stories of abuse make it even harder, says Jensen, a York Region rep for Ontario Personal Support Workers Association (OPSWA). "I think people go into this job thinking it’s going to be easy and they get into it and realize ... it’s someone’s life you’re responsible for." Lynn Steele, lead rep for OPSWA agrees. The owner of York Region-based S.C.R.U.B.S. private home care, Steele warns PSW trainees what to expect. "You’re pooped on, peed on, thrown up on .. You’re going to have people not able to control their bodies. It’s not all tea-time and playing cards like commercials on TV." They are poorly paid, understaffed, sometimes disrespected by other health care workers; burnout is an ongoing problem and there’s a desperate shortage amid an aging population. "Is it any wonder," Steele says, "that some ’bad seeds’ slip through the cracks?" Miranda Ferrier, president of OPSWA, agrees. "PSWs are the true front line," she says. "We are the ones the families and patients know best, the heartbeat of health care," and yet the spotlight keeps turning to those who abuse, neglect, even murder. "Every time it’s in the
news we feel the morale plummet. We have to work three times harder to get the public to trust us again." Confidence in PSWs is at an all-time low, she says, but the need for PSWs is at an all-time high. It’s a dangerous mix that can lead to a revolving door of caregivers - and allow malingers to worm their way in. "For predators, it’s a prime job," she says. "You’re dealing with the most vulnerable and there is little oversight." Unlike other health professionals, PSWs are unregulated and ungoverned. Potential PSWs can bounce from town to town knowing bad behaviour can remain undiscovered, she says. Many PSWs work on a casual basis with multiple part-time gigs, making it easy to not mention a job on a resume if they’ve left on bad terms, says Ann Chartier, seniors issue advocate with Elder Pilot. The situation is compounded by PSW burnout, illness and retention issues, Ferrier says. On her first week on the job, Ferrier says her nose was broken by an aggressive dementia client, a 90-lb woman she was helping to dress. While grateful for her own training as a correctional officer, she worries about newcomers to the field who see it as an easy job or a stepping-stone to becoming a registered practical nurse. "I see these girls entering the profession, 19 years old, the size of a pencil. How are these wisps of things going to cope without training when aggressive dementia is on the rise thanks to demographics and mental health issues?"
Steve Somerville/Metroland
Debbie Jensen is a personal services worker who loves her job and worries that stories about abuse and neglect paint all PSWs with the same brush. 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

dent care and safety." 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

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 longterm care sector and it is our hope that this inquiry will ultimately strengthen our sector by identifying any systemic changes that are needed to enhance resi-
in Ontario than the rest of 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."

NEWS
Dynasty in making if Mulroney takes PC nomination HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com Rumblings of a Progressive Conservative political dynasty in the making were quick to surface after Caroline Mulroney announced Aug. 2 she was seeking the Tory nomination in the provincial riding of York-Simcoe. While speculation had pegged her for federal foray into politics, Mulroney, whose father, Brian Mulroney, was prime minister from 1984 until 1993, said in an interview with York Region Media Group that her main objective is serving the residents of York-Simcoe at Queen’s Park. "The issues that Queen’s Park deals with are the issues that matter to me," she said. It’s a list that includes affordability issues, properly managing taxes, health, education, trans-
portation, the environment and the state of Lake Simcoe. "I want what York-Simcoe residents want, which is to build a better future for themselves and their families, and government needs to get out of the way of that. After 14 years of Liberal government, it’s clear it has gotten harder, so I want to change that and stand up for people. As a mother of four children, this is what matters to me." Mulroney - who owns a home in Georgina and whose CV includes an extensive career in law and finance as well as charitable work - acknowledged name recognition is "certainly helpfully" on the political front, but she added she’s going to work hard to ensure people get to know her. "A lot of people know who my father is, but I’m new to a lot of people. I want people to get to
know me, what I’ve done in my life and what I hope to do," she said. "Some of the younger voters know me better as Ben’s sister. And that’s fine with me, too," she adds with a smile. "There are some places where no one knows who I am, so I plan to work hard to introduce myself and listen to what their concerns are." Political pundits, however, are well aware Mulroney’s credentials and family political history would add "star" power to the PCs. Following in her father’s footsteps may turn out to be a cakewalk at the Sept. 10 nomination vote, with Mulroney most likely going uncontested in the open nomination. "She’s done very well and she has garnered the support of key community leaders, so I would be surprised if someone challenges her," York-
Simcoe’s long-serving federal MP Peter Van Loan said. "A lot of people who were interested in the nomination have thrown their support behind her. That’s a pretty good sign." A ringing endorsement from departing Tory incumbent and longest-serving female MPP in Ontario history, Julia Munro is, too. "Caroline comes to public service with outstanding qualities," Munro said in a statement. "She is a smart business leader with a knack for building consensus and getting results." Van Loan added that "Caroline is a great listener, who cares about her community and wants to build a better future." While Mulroney is focused on the upcoming nomination, she added she would like to work for PC leader Patrick Brown and be a part of his team,
if she is successful. She added the party executive is working very hard to ensure the process will abide by all rules when asked about allegations of vote tampering in a number of ridings across the province, a series of lawsuits and a number of resignations by longtime party members. If Mulroney secures the nomination next month, she’ll have to wait until the Liberals and NDP go through their candidate election process to know who she would be running against in the June 2018 election. A statement from York-Simcoe Liberal campaign co-chair Raj Sandhu released Aug. 2 said the party "looks forward to nominating a dedicated, experienced, local candidate in the coming months." "Welcoming" Mulroney to York-Simcoe and
trusting she "will find that Bradford West Gwillimbury, Georgina, King Township and East Gwillimbury are wonderful communities," Sandhu added the rapidly growing region "needs a strong, local, experienced voice who can advocate for investments in transit to fight traffic gridlock, to protect our environment and deliver smart growth, and ensure good schools and reliable health care." Mulroney said Ontario needs a change and now is the right time for her to enter the political arena. "It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve been working now for 20 years, acquiring skills professionally as a lawyer, a businessperson and through a lot of volunteer work, and I’d like to use the skills that I have and use them at Queen’s Park representing what matters to people in YorkSimcoe."
BUILDING THE FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITY Doane House Hospice has been a pillar of the Newmarket community since its inception in 1989 as Hospice Newmarket when it was founded by a local resident who saw a need to help fellow members of their community die at home. Twelve years later, in an amazing display of community spirit and determination, the hospice took up residence in the historic Doane House, a Town of Newmarket property; and Doane House Hospice was born. Margaret Bahen Hospice for York Region will officially join Doane House Hospice as an integral part of the Newmarket community in the fall of 2017. The Margaret Bahen Hospice for York Region will focus on partnering with hospice and palliative care providers across York Region to grow the continuum of care.

ABOUT US
Regulation of PSWs needed to root out bad apples 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. Kathryn Lloyd

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. N. Mecklai

Ministry of Environment investigates Thane smelter property HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com The province may finally be willing to act over an abandoned polluted industrial site in Keswick, according to a verbal report to council July 19. The town and environmental activists have long contended the provincial government should be held accountable for the pollution it allowed to go unabated for decades after the Thane smelter on Warden Avenue went out of business and left a polluted 20acre wasteland in its wake. Judicial reviews of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change launched by both the town and the environmental law firm Ecojustice on behalf of Keswick resident and former Thane liaison committee member Debbie Gordon have been in a holding pattern for almost two

That was prompted after the town discovered the ministry had removed a cleanup order on the property in July of 2014. While the matter has been "held in abeyance" to allow all interested parties to attempt some form of resolution, including a mit-
igation plan for the property to be submitted to the ministry by the smelter’s owner, the town was recently advised the matter has been referred to the ministry’s investigation and enforcement branch, CAO Winanne Grant said, adding further detail will be provided after discussions with the ministry.

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
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
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 is editor-in-chief of Metroland Media, York Region.

Town shops for sites, partners for recreation complex which will have a separate entrance and parking. Costs for an environmental assessment, topographic survey and geotechnical analysis are expected to be covered within the $2 million design budget. The first go-around at facility partnership opportunities was a bit of a "disappointment", however, to regional Coun. Naomi Davison, who suggested marketing efforts may have to cast a wider net to facilitate a better response than the eight
to report back within the next two months after further discussions with developers. As for land acquisition costs, "there will be no cost to the municipality to purchase the land, other than for the fire hall," Mayor Margaret Quirk said, since most of the eight-hectare parcel required will be covered by parkland dedication requirements owed to the town as part of developer contributions under the Planning Act. Parkland dedication cannot be used for the fire hall,

submissions garnered out of the 21 packages picked up from the town’s first intake process. "There must be more out there than that," she said, adding the town may want to have a second intake round of Expressions of Interest (EOI) that includes proactively targeting major corporations across the wider GTA. The first round involved advertising the opportunity in local media and on the town’s bids and tenders page, as well as contacting various
groups such as local sports, medical, health and wellness organizations, school boards, private food and beverage businesses, Southlake Regional Health Centre, the region’s community and health services department and surrounding economic development offices. "This is a big thing we are doing, so I am trying to figure out if we do another EOI, if we can send press releases out to the wider GTA to reach the Tim Hortons of the world," Davison said.

Seeing a community from a canoe or kayak can give you a completely different perspective. If you want to explore York Region this way, here are a few places to dip a paddle. Of course, before shoving off, make sure you’re equipped with necessary safety equipment including a personal flotation device (PFD), plus a bailer, whistle, buoyant rope, and a watertight flashlight.
1
LAKE WILCOX This 55.6-hectare kettle lake, located in Oak Ridges and home to the Richmond Hill Canoe Club, is a good spot for beginners. You can launch your vessel at the beach on the north side of the Canoe Club driveway. You’ll see ducks and geese out on the water and might spot herons or turtles.
2
EAST HOLLAND RIVER Reportedly, the place to put in is River Drive Park, just north of Queensville Sideroad East near Holland Landing. Head north to the Holland River, which empties into the southwest end of Cook’s Bay in Lake Simcoe. If you hit the water early, paddlers report seeing carp, black crappie, beavers, minks, deer, and blue heron.
3
BLACK RIVER A good introduction to this river, which originates in Stouffville and runs through Durham and Georgina, is the stretch between the dam in Sutton and Lake Simcoe. This roughly 3-km stretch is wide and slow-moving. You’ll pass by cottages and homes. You might also encounter anglers pulling out a wide array of fish.
4
LAKE SIMCOE You can explore the shores of Georgina’s waterfront communities from this big, beautiful lake. Weekends can see a lot of motor boat traffic and winds on Lake Simcoe can pick up quickly, so always check the forecast before heading out, stay close to shore and paddle within your abilities.

COLD CASE: Maybe one day soon the Nation River Lady, as she become known, will have a name. Her body was found in the namesake river in the spring of 1975, but a recent flurry of tips to the OPP following the release of her reconstructed image may hold the key to her identity. A DOG’S LIFE: Beautiful Joe is more than a dog, he’s a symbol of courage and an ambassador for kindness. "It’s a real story about a real dog. This isn’t Winnie the Pooh, this isn’t Anne of Green Gables, this isn’t Paul Bunyan, it’s a real story in a real community." SUMMER READS: The Party by Robyn Harding is a stunning and provocative domestic drama about a sweet 16 birthday party that goes horribly awry. A wealthy family in San Francisco finds their pictureperfect life unraveling, their darkest secrets revealed, and their friends turned to enemies. One invitation. A lifetime of regrets.

Region warns residents to protect themselves 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 Re-
gion. 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 mosquito populations and ongoing surveillance shows us blacklegged ticks are present in York Region," said the region’s medical officer

"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 container 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.

EARTH – PLANET FOR LIFE An article published on May 6, 2017 in the Toronto Star reported that renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has recently revised his previously estimated time span for Earth to continue supporting life – decreasing the estimate from 1000 to a mere 100 years. The reason stated for this revision is the combined effect of climate change, overdue asteroid strikes, epidemics and population growth. The article continued with Mr. Hawking’s suggested solution: that humans initiate a plan to abandon Earth and relocate to another suitable (but as yet undiscovered) planet. Many responses in subsequent ‘Letters to the Editor’ dismissed this solution as an impractical, improbable idea unlikely to provide any real hope for the future. In contrast, the Bible message contains a brighter, more believable promise for life to continue on Earth. God, the Creator, perfectly designed our planet with a purpose; Earth’s unique capacity to support the life of millions of plant and animal species is intended to reflect His power and glory. (Isaiah 45:18) Though humans have temporarily spoiled the perfection, God’s amazing plan and purpose for the future of the Earth remains unchanged! Faith in His plan gives a solid reason to look forward with hope to continued life on this planet when peace and perfection will be restored. For more information about the Bible message, visit our booth at the Sutton Fair (Aug 10-13) or the website: www.dawnchristadelphians.ca For more information about the Bible message, please write or email the following: Email: info@ontariodawn.com P.O.

In Loving Memory Of
Young, James T. Who passed away May 01, 2009
Thinking of you on your birthday, August 08th. Sure wish you were here my guitar picking, truck driving man.
BROWNE, Lenny Bogart Len unexpectedly passed away at his home in Keswick on July 30, 2017. Lenny was a man of character and integrity; always an ear, always a smile. A man like Bogey will never be forgotten. Always in our hearts. Until we meet again, he is now with the Lord. A celebration of life will occur at a later date. A man’s mind plans his ways, But the Lord directs his steps.

I’m sending a dove to Heaven, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful when you open it, It’s full of wonderful things. Inside a million kisses, Wrapped up in a million hugs, To say how much I miss you, And to send you all my love. I hold you close within my heart, And there you will remain, To walk with me throughout my life, Until we’re together again. Sadly missed, forever loved, You loving soul mate Harriet “Bubbles” xoxo
