In August 2007, then -Minister of Health and Long- term Care George Smitherman announced that the province will be redeveloping 35,000 long-term care beds over the next 10 years. The next month, Smitherman announced that the Blue Water Rest Home would be the pilot project for provin- cial long-term care redevelopment and the development of further community support services to serve the area. These additional services are being developed in con- junction with the recent "Aging at Home" initiative from the Ministry, aimed at supporting the elderly and dis- abled in their own homes for as long as possible. Chairperson of the board of directors Ron Heimrich said, "The people of this area had the foresight to found this home in 1965, and since then, the community, administration and staff have continued to sustain and improve upon their vision. We have always remembered that those who live at Blue Water today are the people who raised us and consequently are deserving of the very best in care. For the last 43 years, the quality of care delivered under sound management is a testimony Protect your home from pests year-round (NC) -Your home is likely your largest and most valuable asset, but even the smallest of pests can threaten your property and jeop- ardize the health of your family According to the experts, pests can enter your home in both the warmer and cooler months. Rodents are likely to come indoors during the fall and winter - caus- ing structural damage by chewing through plaster, wood and electri- cal wiring. Warmer weather pests, including ants, cockroaches and flies, can transmit disease -causing bacteria including salmonella and E. coli. "No matter the season, pests always look for food, water and shelter," said Bill Melville, quality assurance manager for Orkin/PCO Services. "The optimal tempera- tures in your home, along with readily available food and water, put the welcome mat out for pests." Fortunately there are proactive steps homeowners can take to prevent pests. First, call a pest management professional to inspect your home inside and out. A licensed profes- sional will identify existing pest problems and alert you to condi- tions that are conducive to a pest infestation. Make sure the compa- ny you call guarantees their work. Other pest prevention tips include: • Tightly seal trash cans. Pests aren't picky about meals, and the odours from trash can invite pests toward the home - increasing the likelihood they'll make their way inside. • Install door sweeps and weather stripping to prevent pests from coming in through gaps around doors and windows. • Caulk any holes, cracks and gaps around your home with weather -resistant sealant. • Don't think of spring as the only season for cleaning, but keep the house free of debris the whole year through. • Pests need only a small amount of food to survive, so wipe counters and floors free of crumbs. In addition to preventing pests with sanitation and home repairs, it's a good idea to schedule regu- lar visits with a professional. He or she will help ensure you're ready for the pests each season brings. HEARTLAND CREDIT UNION WOODMF.., We are now. A new name A new look Defining our future Growing our communities Living our values to the community pride of ownership in Blue Water Rest Home. Now we are opening a new chapter in the long and successful history of our home. After many chal- lenges, we are in a position to begin our redevelopment into the most modern long-term care home in the region." Blue Water administrator Martha Craig said, "It has taken some time to get to this point, but the entire com- munity has continued to make contributions for which we are very grateful. Most of all, I credit the resolve of the board of directors; some time ago, they said they would not give up their efforts and not be satisfied until Blue Water Rest Home was fully redeveloped. With this constant support, this project has now advanced to the point where we can proudly hold this ceremony. I must also mention that much of our success is also due to the significant ongoing support we received from Carol Mitchell, our MPP, and Bill Dowson, the mayor of Bluewater. 2nd annual Bill and Helene Regier Memorial Golf Tournament The golf tournament took place on Sun., Sept. 7.
