Patience wearing thin about PR ambulance problem
Wanted for assault OPP are asking residents in Eastern Ontario to be on the lookout for Cory John Scholl. Scholl, 36, of Arnprior, is wanted on a provincial arrest warrant for four charges of assault plus charges of over- coming resistance by choking and for breach of probation. Police believe that Scholl is aware of the arrest warrant pending for him and is trying to avoid arrest. He was last seen March 6 and may still be in Arnprior or in the Ottawa area. He is five-foot-nine, muscular athletic build, and has very short brown hair, hazel-coloured eyes, and numerous tattoos on both arms.Anyone seeing Scholl or knowing his whereabouts should avoid confronting him. Phone the local police station or call the OPP toll-free number at 1-888-310- 1122 or the CrimeStoppers confidential tips line at 1-800—222-8477. – Gregg Chamberlain “We’ll keep knocking on the door,” said warden Gary Barton, adding that he has noted that recent media coverage of the situ- ation, including reports in the Ottawa daily papers, have been “sympathetic” towards Prescott-Russell.

Chrétien outlined a six-step plan in his report to confront the City of Ottawa and the province with the seriousness of the situation and force them to develop a solution that eliminates Ottawa’s over-dependence on the UCPR ambulance service.The final steps of the plan would, if necessary, involve filing formal complaints with both the Ontario Ombudsman and the Auditor-General. “I think we’ve been waiting long enough,” saidmayor Leroux. “I would suggest that the waiting is over and we should proceed with all the steps.”
La dépendance de la Ville d’Ottawa sur les ambulances de Prescott-Russell pour les appels d’urgence continue d’être un problème. Les Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell envisagent maintenant une campagne en six points pour obliger la Ville d’Ottawa et le gouvernement provincial à trouver une solution, même si cela signifie déposer des plaintes officielles auprès de l’ombudsman de l’Ontario et du Bureau du vérificateur général. —photo archive

of waiting for the province and Ottawa to fix the problem. “When you’re waiting for an ambulance, and it’s a life-or-death situation,” saidmayor Pierre Leroux of Russell Township, “that’s when my patience runs out.” The ambulance situation between the UCPR and the City of Ottawa reached a crisis point last month when, for a short period of time, there were no UCPR ambulance units available for any emergencies in Prescott- Russell because they were all dealing with Ottawa call-outs. The issue gained prominence in regional media, including the Ottawa daily papers, because of a complaint filed by an Embrun mother about the long wait for an ambu-
lance, when her infant son was suffering seizures and needed to go to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). All of the Prescott-Russell ambulance service units were dealing with Ottawa calls at the time. Ontario HealthMinister Eric Hoskins has since issued a directive to Ottawa’s ambu- lance service for changes to its call-out policy tomake its own units and paramedics more available to deal with its own emergency calls. During his report to counties council, Chrétien explained the history behind the changes to the provincial Ambulance Act that has created the current problem, and also why the UCPR is no longer allowed to bill the City of Ottawa for travel and staff
A few mayors of Prescott-Russell are growing short of patience with both the province and the City of Ottawa concerning the wait for a solution to the ambulance shortage situation. Emergency Services director Michel Chrétien presented the United Counties of Prescott & Russell council (UCPR) with a presentation on the situation concern- ing the City of Ottawa’s over-dependence on the UCPR’s ambulance units to answer emergency calls from the city. During the discussion that followed, some mayors on counties council indicated they were tired
