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

“The balance on the financing is basically coming from the Ministry of Long-Term Care and our donation campaign,” said Durand
“We are also using surpluses that the home has generated over the years.”
One of the next challenges before opening day is getting staff to operate the home
Durand said work is being done to retain staffers and encourage them to become permanent employees
“Some of our board members at the time were concerned about staff,” said Durand
we started turning our attention toward staffing and staff retention
We worked on setting an environment for staff to encourage them to become long-term employees
so we’re going to reduce the number of processes on that.”
there will be a number of new features for residents
One of the additions is what’s called a Snoezelen Room
which is a therapy space designed to create a controlled sensory environment for people with dementia or a brain injury
“There will also be a whirlpool room – there are a lot of things being done for mobility for seniors when they’re in a facility,” said Durand
“We will also have new dining facilities going in
Our menus will be published electronically
and staff will go around and take orders and send the orders electronically back to the kitchen.”
With about 10 months to go before the facility opens
there still remains quite a bit of work to do before residents make the move over to the new building
But Durand said the revised opening date of February is more accurate and the project should be completed by then

BATON ROUGE - After failing to show up for court twice
an East Baton Rouge Metro councilman has been ordered to pay restitution and remove property in violation of parish code
A judge has ordered Councilman Cleve Dunn to pay his neighbor
The property in violation of parish code includes a driveway
The fence has been awarded to Michelli since it was built on his property
"We're excited; I'm just trying to get this burden off my back
We just hope that he'll settle," Michelli said
when Dunn started remodeling the home that is outside of his district
The property is near Millerville Road and S
Flannery Road in Sherwood Manor Subdivision
Michelli says the property improvements became the source of his stress that bled his pocketbook dry
"You didn't help nobody here because you're not a councilman here you're a councilman on the other side of town
Michelli said Dunn's property improvements washed away his land, pushing dirt onto the sidewalk and into the street. 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

Sherwood Park Manor will get its $500,000 commitment from Brockville sooner than planned
but at the time decided to provide the payments over five years
recently sent the city a letter requesting that Brockville speed up its promised funding
has been cash-in-hand values for the duration of construction
“Although our municipal donors have been very generous
the five-year debenture terms have frustrated our cash flow projections for our financing,” the letter reads
The Manor requested a payment term of two years
with the whole $500,000 delivered before the end of 2025
councillors this week voted in favour of a motion to provide $100,000 this year
which was already included in this year’s budget
and to give the remaining $400,000 in 2025
The first installment in the 2024 budget was funded by debt, finance director Lynda Ferguson said. 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.”

STOCKTON - Jordan Litz swore that he didn't have the personality for coaching
But two weeks before competing in the USA Swimming National Championships
Litz co-coached the Sherwood Manor Sharks to an American Division championship at the recreation "B" level Stockton Summer League Swimming Championships earlier this month
paced the deck at the Cortopassi Swim Complex with clipboard in hand encouraging his Sharks with surprising ease
"I guess I didn't see myself as a coach because I basically have no patience with myself," Litz said
I didn't find myself being like that for some reason
I ended up having a really good time instead."
Litz began swimming in the recreation league for the Stonewood Estates Stingrays and continued at Lodi High
Litz competed at Delta College in 2007 and 2009
taking 2008 off to prepare for the Olympic trials
he won state championships in the 200-yard individual medley
Litz is taking the year off from school and has been training at Pacific
He was approached at the beginning of summer about coaching Sherwood Manor by third-year Sharks coach Megan Davis and parent representative Lori Gobbi
"At about the midway point of our season I started working on locking him in to coach next year," Gobbi said
"I'm a little scared to talk up Jordan too much because I'm afraid all the other pools are going to go after him."
The national championships followed at the William Woollett Jr
and Litz competed in the 200 IM and 400 IM
He was 57th out of 133 in the 400 in 4 minutes
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte took first in the 400 (4:09.98) and the 200 (1:54.84)
and 14-time gold medalist Michael Phelps was second in the 200 (1:55.94)
"I didn't get to swim against (Phelps) in my heats," Litz said
I was able to stay with him for about the first two seconds and then he beat me by about 20 seconds."
Litz wants to compete for as long as he can
he'll know he has the goods to teach others
"Making an improvement in my own swimming is the best feeling in the world," Litz said
"Learning how to get others to improve is something even more special."
because there's a lot of really good swimmers out there that he also beats by 20 seconds."

A 45-year-old Castle Hayne man charged in the 11-year-old murder of Alice Renee Holmes made his first court appearance on Wednesday and was denied bond
whose address is listed as 201 McGregor Road in Castle Hayne
is charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping of a 33-year-old homeless prostitute
Two teenagers discovered Holmes' body in a shallow grave in the woods behind where Robbins used to live on May 22
Authorities arrested Robbins on Tuesday at Sherwood Manor
When Robbins appeared before District Court Judge John Carroll
"You can't bail out because you don't have a bond," Carroll said
"Your attorneys will explain that to you."
Robbins was represented in court by Capital Defenders Rick Miller and Kevin Peters
she waved her arm and turned away to half-embrace a man who was with her
after he had been married to his mother for 47 years
New Hanover County Sheriff's Detective Ken Murphy said Wednesday that he and other detectives had been reviewing every aspect of Holmes' homicide
ever written and go through it with a fine-tooth comb
and you have to re-interview people who detectives interviewed 11 years ago," he said
Robbins had had earlier encounters with the law
including a guilty plea to a 1999 kidnapping of a 16-year-old
He was also charged with soliciting a crime against nature and he received a suspended prison sentence for the plea

A gold-colored leather anklet hung from her left ankle
She was the mother of four children and her brother
"I always tell my families: ‘Always have hope,'|" Murphy said
Never give up hope because hope is a beautiful thing
Seeing Ronald Salter and telling him – the look on his face – that's what does it for me."
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

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.

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.”

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 perform
The Sweden international said: “He is ready
but I think every player is unbelievable in the training
everybody wants to play and it is so high level the training
It’s no secret that Sherwood 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 better among magnificent
Not bad for a fortuitous open-house drive-by

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

with the Family Circus By TIL KEAME Every day in the ASBURY PARK PRESS was made public yesterday by an aide
Ireland had complained that a protective railing on her bed was encrusted with filth
chewing gum was stuck on the floor and an adjacent bathroom was so dirty she was reluctant to use it
Goldstein called this an untenable situation and thanked Mrs
"Be assured that the Department of Health is monitoring the hospital frequently
is currently reviewing the adequacy of our own regulations to do the job that both you and I expect them to do
and has requested that the board of trustees conduct their own internal study to get at the root cause of these types of problems," he wrote to Mrs
But Goldstein added officials believe "much of the problem was related to overcrowding," and since "new beds have been opened (since Mrs
Ireland was hospitalized) we expect patient satisfaction to improve significantly." Kassenoff said he expects the opening of a new five-story wing will eliminate the need to temporary holding area for patients awaiting admission
and another floor with more than 40 beds will be occupied when state inspections are done
"There's no waiting for beds now," he said
Other complainants had said the holding area afforded no privacy and that nurses there failed to give them oxygen and other medications prescribed by their physicians
said her two stays in the holding area left her feeling like "a piece of flotsom on a remote Alaska beach." 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
