As the new building at Sherwood Park Manor starts to take shape the construction phase is moving a bit more slowly than originally planned According to the long-term care home’s board chairman In a presentation to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council last week Durand said the facility is now slated to open in February as opposed to the original opening day target in November “One of the reasons was getting the materials – we had problems getting steel “We’ve also had a delay in getting windows Those two main things have slowed down the construction phase.” Durand also cited a small issue with hydro saying the hydro has to come from the other side of the road He mentioned in his presentation to council that the building has been totally tendered with the cost of the project sitting at around $50 million Your weekday digest of the top stories from our newsrooms in Cornwall By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc The next issue of Eastern Ontario Midday Roundup will soon be in your inbox Interested in more newsletters?

He also says it caused his home to flood during the May 2021 storm Michelli installed sump-pumps to prevent it from happening again Dunn told 2 On Your Side that he's not responsible for his neighbor's flooding concerns The city-parish government took issue with the property improvements The inspections noted violations with the fence a pool house that's built too close to the servitude Dunn applied for a permit but has been unable to provide the correct material to the parish Michelli told 2 On Your Side that it cost him the sale of his home Michelli says he attempted to reason with his neighbor but communication stopped. Michelli sued Dunn in December 2021 over the issues. The case was continued several times, two judges recused themselves then the third judge retired before it ended up in the hands of Judge Beau Higginbotham Dunn didn't show up to a hearing on March 14 then missed his contempt of court hearing on March 23 Judge Higginbotham didn't provide a deadline for Dunn to respond Brittany Weiss called Dunn Thursday and he suggested contacting his lawyer Jordan did not respond to phone calls or a text message requesting comment Jordan filed new paperwork within the courts on March 27 Dunn was seen walking from his car to the house on Monday The City-Parish said from the get-go that it works with property owners in good faith to address code violations Michelli is wondering how much longer that "good faith" will continue "We just want to the city to do something," he said On Monday the parish said it will meet with the conflict council in the near future to discuss the outcome of the recent civil trial involving Councilman Dunn and Donna & Eugene Michelli the City-Parish has set an April 19 deadline to provide the remaining information The city says if a final judgement orders Dunn to tear down his property Community members earlier this month raised more than $10,000 for the Sherwood Park Manor redevelopment project A sold-out crowd filled the Brockville Country Club for “Eddie Spaghetti Night,” a spaghetti dinner fundraiser hosted by Ed Vanderbaaren in support of the non-profit long-term care home on County Road 2 “It’s no secret that here in Brockville and equally so across the province Sherwood Park Manor’s redevelopment project is in full swing and will help alleviate that shortage for people in our area,” campaign co-ordinator Brooklyn Patrick said in a prepared statement “This new home is not only on track to being completed by this time next year but will add more than 20 additional beds and has been designed to exceed modern building standards so that all our residents their families and our staff can benefit from a pandemic-proof and purpose-built space.” the fundraiser included a silent auction and art exhibit featuring the works of local artists Bruce Lounsbury Susan Blanchard and Eddie Vanderbaaren himself More fundraising events are planned in support of Sherwood Park Manor’s redevelopment project in 2025 and the home’s management says community business partners are still in need SHERIFF SALE: Beaver CountyBeaver County TimesAbstract of property taken in execution upon the writs shown as the properties of the severally named defendants and to be sold by the Sheriff of Beaver County at 10:00 am in the Beaver County Courthouse in the Commissioners Conference Room First Floor Terms are twenty (20) percent of the bid price at time of Sale The bidder is responsible to do a Lien search on the property All property sold and in default will be resold at the next regular scheduled Sheriff Sale Notice is hereby given that a schedule of distribution will be filed by the Sheriff not later than thirty (30) days after the day of the sale and that distribution will be made in accordance with the schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF BEAVER COUNTY P E N N S Y LV A N I A 36TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT THE BEAVER COUNTY SHERIFF’S SALE (Scheduled for January 4 it is hereby ORDERED that all cases listed on the scheduled January 4 Beaver County Sheriff’s Sale List are hereby continued to the February 8 Beaver County Sheriff’s Sale is canceled This Order shall be published once by the Sheriff in the Beaver County Times and Beaver County Legal Journal prior to the January 4 a second notice shall be published in the Beaver County Times and Beaver County Legal Journal advising of the modified February 8 as Trustee of Upland Mortgage Loan Trust A c/o Carrington Mortgage Services title or interest from or under Robert Murgen ALL THAT CERTAIN lot or piece of ground situate in the Borough of Baden County of Beaver and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 10 and 11 in the Baden Farms Plan of Lots as recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Beaver County ALL THAT CERTAIN parcel of land situate in the City of Beaver Falls Porter and Fetteman Plan of Lots in said city bounded and described as follows: On the North by Lot No same plan;

Council will discuss how to fund the final installment during next year’s budget deliberations.  Sherwood Park Manor is a 107-bed not-for-profit, non-municipal long-term-care home founded in 1974 by what were then Brockville’s two community hospitals.  The ambitious redevelopment, now underway, will add 21 beds to the facility just east of the city limit, bringing the total to 128.  The redevelopment is expected to be done by November of 2025, and as work progresses more trades will be on site, requiring higher cash flows.  The plan is to keep the 32 units built during an earlier upgrade in the early 2000s, and tear down or repurpose the 75 older, original beds created when the facility first opened in 1974, beds that are no longer up to today’s standards.  In all, the expanded facility will have 96 new beds, along with the 32 left over from the early 2000s.  The provincial government is covering the lion’s share of the project’s costs, providing one-time funding of $10.3 million to get the project started, as well as construction funding of up to $36.2 million. Locally, a Capital Fund Development Committee is spearheading efforts to raise $5 million.  Coun. Mike Kalivas said it was “unfortunate” that Sherwood Park Manor has been put in a position where they’re short funds and need accelerated funding, but that he still supported the project.  “At the end of the day, that facility is desperately needed, and their expansion is needed,” Kalivas said.  “It was unanimous at the time we were going to move forward with Sherwood Park Manor, and I don’t think that’s changed with anyone.” and upcoming events right to your inbox with our daily newsletter 2007 Sherwood House Manor (Credit: Cyndi Murray) Blended only during the years of exceptional North Fork grape harvests, Sherwood House Vineyards  2007 Sherwood Manor is northforker’s Wine of the Week one of the most well remembered harvests of the last decade,” said winemaker Giles Martin “It was a hot summer and a dry fall leading to an excellent vintage.” The Bordeaux-style 2007 Sherwood Manor is the vineyard’s fullest-bodied red and also its signature wine 40 percent merlot and 25 percent petit verdot “Sherwood Manor is our house wine … it is specific and significant,” he said A rich wine which pairs well with hardy meals you will taste peppery flavors along with vanilla and oak the wine lingers revealing the earthy accents of our gravely Long Island terroir Tasting room manager Kristen Hand added the 2007 Sherwood Manor is hit among vineyard visitors “It is one of the favorite releases,” she said The 2007 Sherwood Manor retails for $36 a bottle at Sherwood House Vineyards’ tasting room at 1291 Main Road Southold Farm + Cellar The Devil’s Advocate Coffe Pot Cellars 2010 Meritage Martha Clara’s Northville red Macari’s Dos Aguas white Palmer Vineyards albariño Long Island Wine Country is celebrating 50 years of the wine industry — and..

With the Sherwood Park Manor redevelopment fundraising drive more than halfway to its goal until recently the top administrator at the long-term care facility The facility’s management recently announced the formation of its Capital Fund Development Committee which is spearheading efforts to raise $5 million for the home’s ongoing expansion recently retired from his role as the manor’s chief executive officer has been appointed as the committee’s campaign chairman and I am honoured to be leading the charge in a volunteer capacity comfortable facilities,” O’Rourke said in a prepared statement Sherwood Park Manor is a 107-bed not-for-profit non-municipal long-term-care home founded in 1974 by what were then Brockville’s two community hospitals The ambitious redevelopment will add 21 beds to the facility The plan is to keep the 32 units built during an earlier upgrade in the early 2000s original beds created when the facility first opened in 1974 beds that are no longer up to today’s standards the expanded facility will have 96 new beds along with the 32 left over from the early 2000s the drive to raise $5 million for the local share of the project sat at more than $2.8 million The provincial government is covering the lion’s share of the project’s costs providing one-time funding of $10.3 million to get the project started as well as construction funding of up to $36.2 million The revamped facility will also benefit from higher annual operating funding amounting to $38.8 million over the next three decades bringing the total provincial investment to $85.3 million The local fundraising committee had already appointed former senator Bob Runciman as the effort’s honorary chairman “It is a true honour to be part of such a worthy cause Sherwood Park Manor holds a special place in our community and I am committed to working alongside my fellow committee members to ensure its continued success in serving our seniors,” Runciman the area’s longtime MPP before he joined the Senate The other members of the Capital Fund Development Committee are Bruce Wylie “We really got things going in the fall,” O’Rourke said in an interview Monday But the fundraising drive lacked a working chairman a role he was happy to fill after his retirement at the end of January “We’re probably a little behind the schedule we have set for construction “They’ve started the back walls of the building The goal is to get the work completed by November of 2025 the painstaking process of moving residents into the new site would begin as would the hiring process to staff up for the added beds the new campaign chairman hopes to hit the $5 million mark by this fall The Ontario government will spend tens of millions on a revamp of Sherwood Park Manor adding 21 new beds at the long-term-care facility and upgrading 75 others “Seniors deserve to be able to continue to live in the community that they love even as their health needs evolve,” Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark said Friday morning in announcing the project The announcement is a breakthrough in continuing attempts to upgrade the 46-year-old non-profit facility just east of Brockville so the upgrade will increase the total to 128 He believes work can begin in roughly a year and a half said the upgrade will allow the manor to provide “21st-century health care in 21st-century facilities.” Durand estimated the local share at close to $5 million The chairman said a fundraising drive will start in the near future. “I am confident that our communities will recognize the importance of maintaining and modernizing our facility and will respond to our call to raise the necessary funds so that Sherwood Park Manor can continue to support our communities over the next 46 years,” said Durand. The plan is to have a new building that will house 96 of the manor’s eventual 128 beds, while retaining the newest section with 32 beds, added in 2001. Elizabethtown-Kitley Mayor Brant Burrow reminded the crowd that, while many consider Sherwood Park Manor a Brockville facility, it is in fact located in his municipality. “This is one of our gems in the township that tends to fly below the radar,” said the mayor, adding that will no longer be the case. “Let’s look forward to the day the shovel goes in the ground,” said Burrow. On hand for Friday’s announcement was Jean Macintosh, part of the original citizens’ group that founded Sherwood Park Manor 46 years ago. The retired nurse recalled how the citizens came together with a plan after it was determined the area needed more long-term-care beds. The coming expansion is exciting news, said Macintosh. “They’ve had terrific staff over the years and that makes a huge difference,” she added. the biggest challenge to writing a book about cats circled and jumped on the keyboard whenever she sat down to write “I kept telling them they are all going to be famous now so they have to get used to stardom,” Ms Sherwood said a memoir of her adventures rescuing and rehoming more than 300 kittens She was inspired to start writing after her older sister Wendy Avery gave her some inspirational stationery for her birthday in March “She’s been a significant catalyst in my life,” Ms Sherwood joked And I thought I would share some of those stories.” she’d written many reports as a chartered surveyor “Jan Quinn had a course at Bermuda Musical and Dramatic Society and she helped me from the early editing stages,” Ms Sherwood said “I sprinkled it with whimsical animal poems that hadn’t been published before I also put some of my well-known songs in it She was overjoyed when she finally held the book in her hands last month “It’s a book of happy that I want to share with the world.” Although she’s a bit of a cat whisperer today Sydney and Eileen Sherwood — ran the Sherwood Manor Hotel in Fairylands back in the 1960s “Maybe it was because we had a dog and that was it.” She found her first kitten while working to open up the Bermuda Railway Trail to the public in 1987 she and a colleague were on the trail near Winton Hill pleading sound,” she wrote in Bermuda Cat Tales She discovered a tiny grey tabby in a prickly bush how she’d convince her boyfriend to let her keep him her boyfriend took one look at the kitten and said: “Can we keep him?” she found more kittens; Twiglet in a hedge Tucker Man lost his vision after he caught the cat flu from his mother I had to figure out how to raise a blind cat,” Ms Sherwood said it was about how to cue him and let him know where things were Ms Sherwood wrote a song called Tucker Man “I play Tucker Man at the Folk Club at the Robin Hood Pub & Restaurant,” she said “I also played it on the radio with David Lopes She admits she has had to do some odd things over the years to catch needy animals Not all of them really wanted to be rescued having to crouch down by a car parked in Hamilton while she tried to coax a reluctant kitten out it may have looked as though she was talking to the car’s hubcap coming dangerously close to passing traffic “You might call it odd to invite umpteen cats into a kitchen for a large tray of kitty stew just so you can catch cat number 36,” she said “And you might call it odd to race all over the neighbourhood looking for a pool net to rescue a toad from a tank “The traffic-dodging ducklings I rescued at a roundabout were pretty dangerous for all involved “You could almost say that doing odd or vaguely dangerous things is routine She rescued many of cats while volunteering with the Bermuda Feline Assistance Bureau “I think there are fewer kittens than there would have been if BFAB hadn’t spayed and neutered 30,000 cats,” she said It is just we are doing it in a non-lethal way.” Now Ms Sherwood is a member of a new feline organisation Cats Assistance Trapping Service Bermuda Limited Part of the proceeds from her book go to Cats Her hope is that people are entertained by her stories “There might have been some sad stories along the way after 300 kittens “I want to be in a coffee shop where no one knows that I wrote the book “I want to see someone with the book and see them going Val Sherwood will be signing books at The Perfumery on Queen Street in St George at the Bermuda National Trust Christmas Walkabout on December 7 Which of the Throne Speech promises is the Government best equipped to deliver on View Results Officials at a local long-term care facility need to raise $5 million for an upcoming renovation and expansion project and have now reached out to the township where the facility is located for support Sherwood Park Manor board chair Ken Durand and administrator Alfred O’Rourke were in Elizabethtown-Kitley Township on Tuesday to ask council for $150,000 over a five-year period to help pay for a renovation they said was “badly needed.” the ministry won’t renew our license,” Durand said Located just outside Brockville’s eastern city limit non-municipal long-term-care home in Elizabethtown-Kitley founded in 1974 by what were then Brockville’s two community hospitals While those 32 beds are still in good shape the original section is outdated and must be replaced In addition to repurposing the original 75 beds, 21 new beds have been approved, an expansion that would bring the overall total to 128. The total cost of the renovation project is estimated at $41 million, and while $36 million in financing has been secured, they need to raise $5 million from the community. Of that $5 million, O’Rourke said they need to raise $1.5 million from municipalities. “Since 10 per cent of the people that come to Sherwood Park Manor are from this township, that’s where the $150,000 comes from,” O’Rourke said. Earlier this month, the Brockville city council voted to provide $500,000 over five years toward the project, a figure that was also determined based on the percentage of residents who came from within city limits. They had originally asked for $1 million. Speaking to the benefits of having the facility in the township, Durand said Sherwood Park has a staff of about 130 skilled workers. That number is expected to increase to about 150 when the project is completed. Not only does it provide good jobs in the community, it’s helping address a critical need in the community, Durand said. “There is a huge waiting list to get into a long-term care facility. I think there’s still at least 600 on a waiting list just for Leeds and Grenville for people trying to get into nursing homes in our area,” he said. The facility receives no support from municipalities for its operations, Durand said, adding they operate based on the funding received from the ministry, plus some community donations. The money being collected throughout this community fundraising campaign will only go toward the capital costs of the renovation project, he added. “We need community support, which is why we’re here tonight,” he said. “The beds are badly needed. We need care. Our seniors need help. They’re going to need places to go. They’re going to need care, and there’s not enough of it, and we need every bed we can get and keep in our community.” Coun. Rob Smith, an often vocal opponent of spending taxpayer money on projects he considers outside the township’s purview, said they’ve faced many similar requests in recent months. “We also have the counties coming, banging on our door, as well, to provide some funding for the Maple View Lodge new build,” Smith said, adding they’ve yet to make a decision on that request. “We deal with taxpayer dollars, and now we got two people coming and asking for money. It’s tough.” He said “hopefully we can help out,” but said he wasn’t sure how much extra money the township can come up with. Mayor Brant Burrow said a report on the $150,000 request will soon come back to council for debate, and a decision will be made in “due course.” Durand urged council to reach out with any questions when deliberating the request. “I’m a big believer, obviously, in Sherwood Park Manor and its future, and we’re going to do everything we possibly can to make sure the manor survives and continues for another 50 years,” he said. The ground behind Sherwood Park Manor has already been cleared and fenced off ready for an ambitious redevelopment project to begin but on Tuesday dignitaries did the ceremonial sod-turning nonetheless “It’s a great day today in Brockville,” Stan Cho staff and residents assembled at a media event as officials celebrated the start of the redevelopment And Manor officials may have breathed yet another sigh of relief at the start of a project that could have failed to launch The plan is to keep the 32 units built during an earlier upgrade in the early 2000s chairman of the facility’s board of directors “It’s the first physical step in that (redeveloped) Manor.” a new Manor board concluded that the facility needed a redevelopment if it was to survive another half-century After some years of financial troubles marked by successive annual deficits the new board found efficiencies and started posting surpluses Then the province offered a fast-track redevelopment process and the local board came in right under the wire and another a total of $32,500 from Augusta Township The board has yet to visit some municipalities the board is nearly halfway to collecting the $5-million local share of the multimillion-dollar project Cho told the crowd the ministry is providing one-time funding of $10.3 million to get the project started adding the total provincial investment is therefore $85.3 million Cho acknowledged it’s still a small step in the face of the growing challenges of an aging population “There is no doubt that there is more to be done,” said the minister “We have a moral imperative to take care of those who took care of us.” Cho acknowledged the work of local MPP Steve Clark who was a “pain in the neck” about securing the project funding “It’s only because I know how good this home is,” Clark then told the crowd Clark also saluted the front-line workers at the site “You deserve a redeveloped home just like our residents do,” he said Manor top administrator Alfred O’Rourke said the new beds at the redeveloped site are “sorely needed,” and Elizabethtown-Kiley Mayor Brant Burrow “In my mind, that wasn’t even an option,” said Burrow. Instead, noted Durand, the plan is to have the redeveloped Sherwood Park Manor open between August and November of 2025. STOCKTON - Emma Ochoa is glad she put the concerns that go with having a deaf child aside Ochoa signed up her 12-year-old daughter Monique Molinar for the Blue Dolphins recreation swim team earlier this summer in the Stockton Summer League Molinar competed in the regular season and on Saturday swam at Cortopassi Aquatics Center in the league's championship meet The final leg of the three-day meet starts at 9 a.m today with the Blue Dolphins in 16th place with 88 points followed by Mallards of Brookside with 801.5 and Sherwood Manor with 611.5 "A friend of mine (Yolanda Villanueva) has her kids in the swim league and has been on me the last couple of years to let Monique do it," Ochoa said "I've always been nervous though because Monique is deaf but now she loves this and I think will keep doing it." Molinar is an only child and enters the eighth grade this fall at Montezuma Elementary but first started showing signs of loss when she was 1 year old "She used to love bopping around whenever music was on and it was so cute," Ochoa said "One day she stopped doing that and then we started to notice that her speech wasn't developing." Mother and daughter bounced from pediatrician to pediatrician before being directed to UC Davis Medical Center Molinar got her first cochlear implant and recovered some of her hearing she swims without her implant because the device is not designed to go under water Cochlear implants for use in water do exist "Cochlears for under water came out a little while ago," Ochoa said "But they are really a luxury and not something that insurance is likely to cover." instead of listening for a sound indicator Hunter stands next to her on the starting block and puts his hand on her toes to signal it's time to get set He releases his hand to signal when to start Molinar swam the 12-and-under 100-yard individual medley and shattered her seed time 15.11 seconds and swam a 2:04.13 in the finals "She's dropped all of her times this year," Hunter said "Each time we show her the improvements on paper Others who impressed Saturday were 7-year-old Bella Nunez from Quail Lakes who broke a 22-year-old record in the 7-and-under 25-yard backstroke besting the mark of 22.50 set in 1985 by Lyssa Roberts of Spanos Park West became the first from her team to win a race at the meet Ferguson (32.99) edged friend Cassandra Adams (33.06) of Stonewood Estates "It's been exciting this year getting to know everyone," Ferguson said of swimming for her first-year team "I'm hoping everyone decides to come back next year and we can keep things going." Sherwood Park Manor board chair Ken Durand and administrator Alfred O’Rourke presented Brockville council on Tuesday with an overview of the long-term care centre’s redevelopment and expansion plans and a request for support The $41-million project is close to receiving final approval to proceed and shovels could be in the ground before the end of this summer Located on County Road 2 in Elizabethtown-Kitley just east of Brockville the not-for-profit manor dates back to the mid-1970s The 75-bed facility added 32 beds 20 years ago The original section is outdated and must be replaced In addition to repurposing the original 75 beds Including the existing 32 that Durand indicated are still fine Studies have been completed and the manor is awaiting final word from the province on revised drawings.  Durand indicated there is an agreement-in-principle with RBC for $25 million in mortgage funding. The province is to invest $9 million, and the community will be asked to contribute $5 million. The remaining $3 million would be in the form of surplus land proceeds. The city is being asked for a capital contribution of $1 million as part of the community portion. The goal is to receive commitments of about $500,000 from other municipal governments in the area, according to Durand. A public fundraising campaign is to be launched in the near future. “I believe it plays a very good role in our community and it’s a role that needs to continue,” Durand said of Sherwood Park. As part of a pre-campaign feasibility study, 90 per cent of interviewees responded that the manor’s reputation is good or excellent. Fifty-four per cent of individuals and 31 per cent of businesses indicated they would be willing to consider donating to the campaign. Durand acknowledged that the manor had to deal with significant financial challenges because of operating deficits run up over several years. Measures taken about three years ago resulted in surpluses in both 2021 and 2022. It was also noted at the meeting that no residents of Sherwood Park Manor died from COVID-19. “For you to have turned that ship around the way you have during COVID… that’s incredible,” Brockville Mayor Matt Wren said. “You’re all to be really commended.” The mayor also indicated the additional beds are needed. About half of Sherwood Park residents are from Brockville, council was told. When asked about the length of a possible multi-year funding commitment by the city to meet the million-dollar request, Durand said he would personally prefer to see no more than five years. However, he suggested there could be interim financing options considered by the manor if the city’s contribution covers a longer period. Municipal staff are to report back to council next month on the city’s ability to participate in the project and how the capital contribution could be structured, according to the mayor. “I’m very excited for the project itself,” commented Coun. Phil Deery, who said he is “anxious to see” the options that city staff will provide to council. Brockville just came out of a “really rough” budget process, remarked Deery. The city heard from the manor during that process earlier this year. A discussion of the manor’s capital funding request was deferred. Sherwood Park has a staff of about 130. That number is expected to increase to about 150 when the project is completed.

Hound’s Tree Wines has never had its own tasting.. Sherwood House Vineyards closed its doors to do a complete redesign.. Site made in collaboration with CMYK The city will give Sherwood Park Manor $500,000 toward its redevelopment and expansion project officials from the long-term care facility requested $1 million from the city to help with its $41 million project since a high percentage of residents previously resided within city limits “While it is desirable to assist Sherwood Park Manor in their expansion it is prudent that the amount provided be reduced to $500,000 and spread over five years with the annual funding mechanism be approved each year according to the pressures on the annual budget,” Ferguson said in a staff report She told council Tuesday if the contribution is spread over five years, council could choose, depending upon the factors of the given budget year, to fund each portion either through the fiscal policy reserve, or the tax rate, or a combination. Coun. Cameron Wales said the city could “hypothetically afford a higher amount” than $500,000 based on the importance of providing such a service to the community. “We fund St. Lawrence Lodge, and of course that’s a significant contribution to making sure that seniors and folks who need assisted living care receive that care in the community, but without additional homes like Sherwood Park manor and non-profit homes that are also providing similar services, there would be a significant amount of burden on that facility,” Wales said. “They’ve come to us asking for a one-time capital cost, and what we get out of that is many, many years of them providing service without coming back to us looking for operational considerations.” Coun. Phil Deery said their decision should be based on what city staff recommended, and that it wasn’t up to council to come up an “arbitrary” amount of money to give the project. “There’s going to be many more asks that come before this council, what can we actually afford?” Deery asked. “I hope we can all agree there’s a limit to what we can give, and if we get ourselves in to a better financial position in the upcoming years as some of our debt drops off, then we can have bigger discussions, but for now we just have to be very mindful of where this money is coming from and how it’s going to affect our taxpayers.” During the city’s budget process this year, officials from Sherwood Park Manor presented to council their plan for a revitalization of the facility, which included a $41 million new build and an update of the current facility. Council did not approve funding during the budget process, but asked that Sherwood Park Manor make a presentation to council at a later date for further consideration. Following that request, officials again made a presentation to council on Apr. 25 where they outlined the plan for the project and requested a million dollars from the city to help fund it. The total cost of the project is estimated at $41 million, and while $36 million in financing has been secured, they need to raise $5 million from the community. Coun. Jeff Earle, who put forward a motion to defer the decision but was ultimately struck down, was not receptive to the idea of giving any more than what city staff recommended. “We all know whether it’s the Sherwood Park Manor, Brockville General Hospital or Kingston General Hospital, municipalities do not have a responsibility for healthcare. Nor do we have a responsibility to fund the army or have an ambassador in Moscow and Ukraine,” Earle said. Mayor Matt Wren pointed out, however, that long-term care is a municipal obligation, and that they own St. Lawrence Lodge. The city pays to St. Lawrence Lodge an annual levy based upon the percentage of residents that previously resided within city limits – 60 per cent – and in 2023 the levy was $1.6 million. Wren agreed with Wales that providing funds to other facilities, such as Sherwood Park Manor, will help ease the burden on the city-owned facility. The motion to provide the funding was passed unanimously. Amid a pandemic that has placed the challenges facing long-term care in focus Brockville’s Sherwood Park Manor wants to expand The non-profit long-term care facility just east of Brockville’s boundary announced Tuesday it has hired consultants to work on a proposal for expansion the plan would see 21 new beds added to the site While he hesitated to provide a cost estimate at such an early stage manor administrator Alfred O’Rourke suggested the project could cost in the range of $30 million to $35 million “We haven’t finalized it yet,” O’Rourke said Tuesday with the COVID-19 pandemic putting the need for more and improved long-term care in sharp relief the administrator feels this is the right time to ask for a redevelopment “We know there’s need and there’s demand,” said O’Rourke “Our home consistently has probably around 100 people on the waiting list.” O’Rourke believes there are also more than 500 people in the greater community, at any given time, on a waiting list for long-term care. The boards of directors of Sherwood Park Manor and the Sherwood Park Manor Foundation announced the hiring of PRISM Partners Inc., of Burlington, and +VG Architects, of Ottawa, to draft redevelopment plans for the facility. Sherwood Park Manor, a 107-bed nursing home, employs 125 people at its County Road 2 location. O’Rourke said management hopes the proposal will be ready in the next month to six weeks, at which point it will be submitted to Ontario Health and the Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care for funding consideration. Should the project then get the OK, the foundation will have to embark on a major fund-raising campaign for the local share of the cost, which any provincial funding formula would require. In a statement, the boards said the project’s success “is paramount in order to ensure that existing beds do not migrate out of the community.” Sherwood Park Manor has been operating for 45 years. It currently boasts having had no positive case of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. In early December, the tri-county health unit declared a COVID-19 outbreak at Sherwood Park Manor after a resident reportedly tested positive. However, O’Rourke noted, a subsequent re-test concluded that the initial test had been a false positive. Ground was first broken for Sherwood Park Manor in 1974; the 75-bed home officially opened two years later. In the late 1990s, it merged with the Fulford Home, with the beds there moved to the 32-bed Fulford Wing that was officially opened in 2001 by then Leeds-Grenville MPP and Ontario cabinet minister Bob Runciman. The home has faced financial challenges in recent years. O’Rourke said its foundation has gotten out from under the initial Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) mortgage for the initial 75-bed facility, with more than $600,000 left on that debt, while the manor still has to pay off some $1.3 million for the mortgage on the Fulford Wing. While Sherwood Park Manor does not get an operating subsidy from local municipalities, it has received capital funding in the recent past. The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville donated $100,000 to it for various capital projects in September 2017, while its host township of Elizabethtown-Kitley, as well as Brockville, provided a combined $60,000 toward critical roof replacements completed in 2018. O’Rourke said the plan is to redevelop the initial, 75-bed wing into a larger, 96-bed facility, which together with the 32-bed Fulford Wing would leave a 128-bed facility. The boards have made the project public now, confident they will get the same level of support for the manor that it has garnered in the past, said the administrator. Brockville Mayor Jason Baker said Tuesday it’s too early to discuss what kind of partnership the city might undertake with the manor on any redevelopment. “It’s like any other ask of the city. We will listen to the business case and decide on a case-by-case basis,” said Baker. The mayor said long-term care is an important service, but he noted Brockville already provides it through its partnership with other municipalities in running the nearby St. Lawrence Lodge. If the province requires more local funding for yet another long-term care facility, “it’s a form of downloading.” “Right now we’re doing the best we can to maintain our own infrastructure and our own service level,” added Baker. Elizabethtown-Kitley Mayor Brant Burrow has a similar reticence about municipalities funding health care. He noted the township’s council responded to recent request for a funding commitment by the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital by sending provincial officials a letter calling for a change in the formula for funding hospitals. “I think that maybe as a one-time ask, (the manor request) may be seen a little bit differently,” added Burrow. “I wouldn’t presume the outcome at this point, but there might be a more sympathetic ear where the manor is concerned.” This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Despite Spurs signing Kevin Danso from RC Lens a lack of depth in the centre-back department remains after Radu Dragusin was ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a knee injury Cristian Romero is also yet to return – while there are fresh concerns over Micky van de Ven Tottenham did try to sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea – only for the France international to end up at Aston Villa – while Spurs also bid for Marc Guehi Now – however – Tim Sherwood has offered a solution to Tottenham Speaking on Sky Sports alongside Paul Merson on transfer deadline day, the 55-year-old suggested Tottenham should recall Ashley Phillips to provide Postecoglou with another option in defence Also discussing Manor Solomon and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg Sherwood said: “I would have called them back Phillips is a boy they have bought from Blackburn Until you put them on the stage you don’t know if they can sing He might save them £60 or £70m on someone who is not as good You don’t know until you give them the opportunity he is a player who they could have brought back in Hojbjerg is a very experienced midfield player I know Ange doesn’t like that player but if there was an option to bring them back I certainly would have brought them back A story from the Evening Standard claimed that Tottenham did consider recalling the 19-year-old from his loan spell at Stoke in December the north Londoners have decided to let him continue his development with the Potters Perhaps it is for the greater good that Spurs saw their £70m bid for Guehi fail The £3m defender spent the first half of last season with Tottenham before moving to Plymouth on loan receiving plenty of encouragement during his time in N17 Phillips was praised by Postecoglou – with the Australian saying: “We think he has great potential.” This finish by Stoke centre back Ashley Phillips is outrageous…pic.twitter.com/9vIuFJYjUT Kulusevski also hailed Phillips – even saying the England U20 international is “ready” to

Park’s surrounding acreage area is some of the most sought-after real estate in Alberta Finding the right place and price before it’s off the market is tough and that’s on top of prepping and selling your own home Best to do it like high school sweethearts Carmel and Ryan Giese who bought their neighbour’s property after a serendipitous home showing The former owner was an architect who in the early ‘90s built the home on raised land just south of Sherwood Park it feels more like a high-end Canmore resort than a home in central Alberta But the stunning view and simple transaction didn’t mean the house was ready made for their family of five They closed off a third of the attached garage to make ramps for their family’s wheelchair use and built a second detached garage opposite it which has a loft the kids use for floor hockey — when it’s too cold to play on the artificial rink (complete with boards) outside and it took some navigating between what worked and what didn’t Then there was the two-way fireplace that sectioned the living room off from the front entrance matching the walled off style of when the house was built It was a central piece that reached the top of the two-storey ceiling — and everyone loves a fireplace — but the couple wanted modern and the wall [and fireplace] was gone,” Carmel says but it was awesome — 25 years ago it was all about cozy rooms the kitchen and joining living room could feel closed in if it weren’t for the skylights and massive south windows facing the driveway and landscaping that light up at night Carmel says the kitchen is the most used and “most important” room in the house and we wanted lots of seating because we have three kids who have thousands of friends.” The Gieses eat most meals around the now L-shaped island and spill into the living room for post-meal recovery and family time With white countertops and the massive fridge blending in with the grey cabinets it’s the most explicitly modern room in the house But the stone floor and exposed wood furniture keeps it warm and casual next to the three rooms that make up “teenage land,” is arguably the home’s cosiest space (though it’s a tough call) brick and wood features and possibly the best view in the house (again the basement was “pure ‘70s,” complete with the standard closed-in bar and two stools serve yourself bar with a second TV and separate so we opened it up and put in lots of seating so it works with lots of people,” Carmel says “It’s great for pizza parties with the kids’ hockey teams.” With its scenic surroundings and rustic interior new additions and renovations (and more to come) the Gieses took an exquisite home and made it their own The result is a perfect mix of modern design with timeless cabin vibes a home that could only look

Amber snow warning for East Midlands with 40cm possible which operates a range of venues in Lanarkshire CELTIC legend Harry Hood has hit the jackpot - as sales from his pub firm raked in £8million in a year The company founded by the Hoops hero, 72, is coining it in from bars and wedding venues in Lanarkshire. The Lisini Pub group runs Angels Hotel and the Castle Rooms in Uddingston, Dalziel Park in Motherwell and the Parkville Hotel in Blantyre. Hood's daughter Lisa Wishart, a director of the company, said they are pleased to be bucking the trend as bars and restaurants take a hit. She said: "We are pleased to report another year of significant progress against our strategy with recorded reported revenue and increased operating profit. Our performance was ahead of the board's and market expectations. "On behalf of the board, I would like to extend sincere appreciation to our 250 team members who have contributed to such great results. "All our units reported growth, with the Dalziel Park Hotel & Golf Club in particular reporting the most solid results. "Being able to consistently deliver exemplary service to our guests is the true differentiator in our industry. In recent years we have focused on improving our service delivery and culture and we are pleased to see we are benefiting from these initiatives." Annual accounts filed at Companies House shows turnover hit a record high of £8.2million - up more than £600,000 from the previous year. Its operating profit also jumped by more than £300,000 to £776,917. The firm employs 250 staff at its premises and has an annual wage bill of around £3million. He scored a hat-trick in an Old Firm game against Rangers in 1973, a feat that was not repeated until Moussa Dembélé achieved it earlier this season Last year, Hood told of his pride in the business and revealed how he had taken his first steps into the pub game while he still played for Celtic. He said: "I was on a bus with the rest of the players after a game in Edinburgh and we were going past this pub the Sherwood Manor in Viewpark and I overheard Jimmy Johnstone saying to Billy McNeil that it had potential "I don't know how many pubs can say they've had consistent growth every year for two decades" The company are currently carrying out a £750,000 extension at Angels Hotel and said they are also planning to add a spa facility to their Dalziel Park complex We pay for your stories!

Another complaint led the hospital to order additional in-service training for emergency room personnel Wander said he was left on a bedpan for an extended period despite his request that the pan be removed before it aggravated a previous back problem SHOP TIRE WAREHOUSE FIRST Everyday Lowest Prices 0 011 Name Brand Tires New Jersey's Largest Selection 0 6 Name Brand Wheels Best Guarantee Available 0 Always Tires Wheels In Stock OVER 1,000,000 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS COUPON NOBODY BEATS OUR PRICES SPECIAL SPECIAL On These Nationally Advertised Brands buy any 4 tires at Tire 48.00 165SR15 48.00 57.00 44.56 Warehouse and receive an INSTANT ADDITIONAL 185 70SR13 53.00 48.71 57.00 53.00 52.22 $12.00 DISCOUNT off our already low prices as shown 64.00 59.00 $6.79 Reinforced 65.00 58.50 Or any 2 tires and we'll give you $5.00 off This offer is DESIGN valid through Coupon valid for Ocean and Toms ALL SEASON SIERRA River locations only Delta RADIALS Delta GBR RADIALS Delta XP-78 One coupon per vehicle 4-Ply Polyester Whitewall COUPON: All Season Radial Whitewall Radial Whitewall $3285 $3269 $2373 We're In The P1 32.88 P1 32.60 Cash Price SIZE Cash Price SIZE P165 Cash 80RT Price SIZE HIGH PERFORMANCE RACE P1 36.76 P1 34.87 23.73 P1 41.11 38.90 P1 43.25 39.99 45.31 41.50 F78X14 E78X14 31.31 20.90 TRELLI P-6 P-7 TRELLI P-77 47.34 42.98 46.31 44.92 G78X15 33.26 STEEL RADIAL G78X14 32.44 48.34 43.51 H78X15 34.86 STEEL RADIAL STEEL RADIAL 51.21 46.48 54.56 47.83 38.37 L78X15 WHITE 52.53 RATING SIZE Cash Price SIZE Cash Price 78.00 124.00 SIZE Cash Price Delta ALL RADIALS SEASON Delta 70 RADIALS SERIES Delta TRUCK VR SPEED RATINGS 155SR12 $5521 $7245 SIZE Cash Price 4 PLEASE CALL FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE INFORMATION 155SR12 28.06 FOR SIZE Cash Price 145SR13 155SR13 20.06 20.86 SIZE Cash Price 72.45 74.03 The Industry's Best Tire Guarantee Available 165SR14 36.77 64.79 31X10.50R15/41 102.07 1658813 33.96 56.21 06.41 FOR DETAILS STOP IN AT YOUR NEAREST WAREHOUSE LOCATION 175SR14 67.97 2 138.05 165SR14 40.86 65.81 158.03 HIGH PERFORMANCE SPECIALISTS 165SR15 37.80 69.01 18.5/44X15/6* 71.64 142.81 Tires Designer Wheels Shocks 30.99 75.39 161.07 41.81 18.5/44X16.5/6* 308.62 44.00 BLACKWALL ALL PRICES INCLUDE F.E TIRE SECONDS FROM THE RT.66 ASBURY PARK CIRCLE BFGoodrich COMP MICHELIN TRELLI EVERYDAY LOWEST PRICES TOP QUALITY SERVICE GARDEN TIRES USE Yokohama Ontinental Firestone OCEAN EXIT 102 SUNSET SEMPERIT 3417 Sunset Ave TRAFFIC WHEELS (At Seaview Square Mall Entrance) EXIT 100 CIRCLE BBS ATS 9 EPSILON RONAL OTHER LOCATIONS 201-922-0002 IN: East Hanover VOLANTI CIBIS Hella SEATS ROTA-ITALIA Master o10 Cash price for cash reflects with discount from I.D.
