CCAC meeting highlights senior care
MISCHIEF Miranda Mertes and Graham Carlisle, age 23, of Cornwall, were arrested on June 14, 2013. It is alleged that they were at a local business where they engaged in a verbal argument with the manager. They were asked to leave and while exiting, caused damage to a product display by kicking it. They were both charged with Mischief under $5000.00. They were released to appear in court on July 18, 2013. ASSAULTS Nicholas Dougan, age 37, Kevin Lan- glois, age 38, and Chantal Bickle, age 40, of Cornwall were arrested in relation to an altercation that occurred on May 31, 2013, at the corner of Pitt Street and Second Street. Nicholas Dougan was arrested on June 14, 2013, and charged with two counts of Assault and one count of Aggravated Assault. He was released to appear in court on July 16, 2013. Kevin Langlois was arrested on June 15, 2013, and charged with Assault. He was re- leased to appear in court on July 23, 2013. Chantal Bickle was arrested on June 15, 2013, and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Harm. She was released to appear in court on July 23, 2013. As a result of the incident two people were treated and released from the Cornwall Community Hospital for serious but non- life-threatening injuries. UNLAWFULLY IN A DWELLING Andrew Arab, age 20, and Trevor Seguin age 21, of Cornwall, were arrested on June 16, 2013 for having been unlawfully in a dwelling. The first man is bound by a Recognizance with the relevant condi- tions of No Alcohol, Notify Police of any Change of Address and Keep the Peace and be of Good Behavior. The second man is bound by an Undertaking with the relevant condition to Keep the Peace and be of Good Behavior. On that date, resi- dents of a Carleton Street home returned to find both males, who were known to them, inside their residence without permission. Police were contacted and an investigation followed. The first male was charged with Being Unlawfully in a Dwelling House and 3 counts of Breach of Recognizance. He was held for a bail hearing June 17, 2013. The second male was charged with Being Unlawfully in a Dwelling House and Breach of Undertak- ing. He was released to appear in court on July 23, 2013. IMPAIRED On June 16, 2013, Cornwall Police re- sponded to a call from the port of entry, as the Canada Border Services Agency had a female in custody for impaired driv- ing. Police attended and continued the arrest of Amanda Mitchell-McConini, age 25, of Maniwaki, Quebec. She was later released by the Cornwall Police to appear in court on July 16, 2013.
“It was not all rosy”, said Gilles Lateigne. “We had increased our workload and our amount of clients.” CCAC’s remedy has been to further up train- ing of their staff. Ninety per cent of the or- ganization’s workers are trained in Safety First and have 1335 hours of initial ethics training. Experts have estimated that Ontario’s 65+ will double over the next 20 years, whereas the 85+ group is expected to quadruple.
CCAC operates throughout Ontario and currently has a 93.2 per cent satisfaction rate. The organization has also partnered with the Cornwall Hospital as well as with St. Joseph’s community care. In all, the orga- nization serves over 58,800 clients through- out Eastern Ontario. The organization wel- comed six new members: Dr. Céleste Abedi, Dr. Maria Barradoes, J. Hugh Brownlee, Di- ane Hupé, Colette Rivet as well as Bill Skin- ner.

CORNWALL| It may have been projected on a screen, but this year’s Community Care Access Center’s (CCAC) meeting fea- tured great speakers such as Dr. Samir Sinha , lead expert for Ontario’s Seniors Strategy. “Aging is not a disease, it’s a triumph”, said the 30-year old doctor amid clapping and cheering. Although quite punctual, Sinha also ex- plained some of CCAC’s past problems and the many solutions the organization has taken in order to make 2014 its most suc- cessful year. “The province currently has 78 000 hospital beds”, Sinha said with a serious tone. “It is estimated that by the year 2040, 238 000 beds will be needed.” He blames the shortage of funding for el- derly health care on the lack of funding, which has always been invested in other areas of the medical field. “The age of the average citizen was 27 back then, therefore governments invested in hospitals rather than in home care”, said Sinha. “Yet we are still neglecting to change our way of investing.” Only 14.6 per cent of Ontarians are over 65 and older, yet they account for nearly half of the province’s health care spending. This has led both the Federal and Provincial gov- ernment in investing further funding into hospitals. This, according to Sinha, is not the right thing to do. “It costs the province an average of $1000 a day to keep someone in a hospital bed, $130 for long term care and only $55 a day for supportive housing or home and com- munity care”, said Sinha. The focus of this year’s meeting was about highlighting solutions and moving forward, past struggles which had plagued the orga- nization through 2012-2013.
