Ontario Joins the Fight Against EbolaFunds Donated to Support Emergency Response in West AfricaAs international concern steadily grows about the Ebola out-break in West Africa, the Ontario government announcedMonday that it is providing $3 million to help the front-lineresponders fighting to contain it. The Government is also en-couraging the public to match the donation.
Ontario is providing $1 million to Médecins Sans Frontières,(Doctors Without Borders) and another $2 million to theRed Cross to support these organizations’ efforts to treat pa-tients in affected countries, train staff, raise awareness andprevent further transmission.
The current Ebola outbreak, which began in West Africa inMarch 2014, is unprecedented. The World Health Organiza-tion declared Ebola a public healthemergency of international concernon August 8, 2014 and things seemto be quickly getting worse.
“I know that many Ontarians areconcerned about the rapid spreadof the Ebola virus.” said KathleenWynne, Premier of Ontario. “Thesefunds will help those on the frontlines in West Africa in their coura-geous efforts to treat patients andprevent further transmissions ofthis deadly disease. The people ofOntario are compassionate andcaring and I know they will con-tribute to this important effort.”
It’s an important contribution tothe tireless efforts of those brave
aid and health care workers who are there, responding to theWest African crisis. The help is badly needed, and the situa-tion is becoming worse each day.
“This contribution will assist our teams in their efforts toprevent the spread of Ebola and save the lives of those whoare infected. This contribution will also help us address theneeds of thousands of people who can no longer accesshealth care in these countries due to their health care systemscollapsing, another deleterious consequence of this terribleoutbreak.” said Stephen Cornish, Executive Director ofMédecins Sans Frontières Canada. This sentiment is sharedby senior Canadian Red Cross officials as well.
Of course, it’s also a major concern to all of us that Ontariohas the right tools and protocols in place to contain and treatany potential case of Ebola that might appear here, and to
protect the safety of all On-tarians, including health careworkers.
So how prepared are WE foran Ebola outbreak, here inOntario?
Monday’s announcement ofthe aid to front line workersin West Africa was accompa-nied by a joint statement byDr. Eric Hoskins, Minister ofHealth and Long-Term Careand Dr. David Mowat, In-terim Chief Medical Officerof Health on Ontario’s pre-paredness for an Ebola out-break.

“We know that Ontarians may have concerns related to theongoing challenges in West Africa and recent events in theUnited States regarding the spread of the Ebola virus. Let usassure you that the safety of Ontario’s health care workers, pa-tients and the public are our top priority.”
“We are confident that Ontario is prepared and ready to con-tain and treat any potential case of Ebola virus in our province— protocols are in place and we’ve seen the system work wellin Ontario hospitals.”
With the experience and lessons learned from the SevereAcute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic, our healthcare facilities now have sophisticated infection control systemsand procedures to protect health care providers, patients andall Ontarians. They are fully equipped to deal with any poten-tial cases of Ebola.”
The statement also confirms that Ontario health authoritiesare working with health care employers to ensure that theirstaff receives appropriate training on personal protectiveequipment as well as health and safety measures. New guide-lines are expected by the end of this week.
“The government … is monitoring the Ebola situation and iscontinually assessing our state of readiness should a case ofEbola ever occur in Ontario.” the statement ends.
At this time, there are no confirmed cases of Ebola Virus inOntario although ten Ontario patients have recently beentested for possible Ebola infection. They all tested negative.
In the meantime, new measures are being put in place, suchas:
Directives about new personal protective equipment andtraining requirements as well as enhanced procedures for con-taining and treating Ebola.
Designating Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, HamiltonHealth Sciences, Health Sciences North, Hospital for SickChildren, Kingston General Hospital, London Health SciencesCentre, The Ottawa Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital, Sunny-brook Hospital, and University Health Network’s TorontoWestern Hospital as the referral hospitals to treat potentialcases of Ebola.
Enhancing the province’s inventory and availability of per-sonal protective equipment, including ensuring the availabil-ity of N95 protective respirators.
Testing Ebola specimens at Public Health Ontario’s provinciallabs starting on Monday October 20, 2014.
Creating a formal Minister’s Advisory Table on Ebola Pre-paredness which will include frontline workers and healthcare providers, and which will meet regularly to provide ongo-ing advice to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.

“The steps we are taking to update and enhance our readinessprocedures, protocols and resources ensure the health systemis prepared.” assures Dr. Mowat, Ontario’s Interim ChiefMedical Officer of Health. “Our hospitals have sophisticatedinfection control systems in place that are designed to limitthe spread of infection, protect health care workers, and pro-vide the best care possible for the patient.”
It’s reassuring to know that strong and thorough precautionsare being implemented. Hopefully, our health authorities willnot repeat recent history elsewhere, being lulled into a falsesense of security … guarding the doors while the enemysneaks in through a window.

Despite freezing temperatures and high winds, the CASS hockey team held their annual Duathlon fundraiser at the Centen-nial Grounds in Richards Landing on Saturday, October 18th. Hockey players are all required to participate with a minimumof $50 in pledges and must also get ‘mile marker’ sponsors. This year’s event raised over $4,400 to help coverage bus trans-portation costs to season tournaments.
The top overall finisher was the team ofAksel Pollari (formerly of the Island) andCASS staff member Ray Gowlett (whobikes with the Island crew regularly) witha time of 55 minutes and 5 seconds, fol-lowed by Island team Nolan Ford andDan Ableson with a time of 56 minutesand 21 seconds. Dan had the fastest biketime (30 min 26s) from the CentennialGrounds to the Free Methodist Churchand back, while Aksel had the fastest runtimes (15 min 29 s and 8 min 22 s)forthe 2 runs on the beautiful, leaf-strewntrail from the Centennial Grounds to theTrefry Centre.

TSSA Officials to Meet with LocalService Station Operators in
Richards LandingHere’s some great news! Township of St. Joseph Mayor JodyWildman has confirmed that TSSA Fuels Safety Program Di-rector, John R. Marshall will be meeting with area Service Sta-tion Operators in Richards Landing on November 11th.
“I had contacted TSSA Ombudsperson, Sandra Cooke whothen met with Mr. Marshall,” said Mayor Wildman. “He willalso bring their Regional Director with him so they can heardirectly from Operators and try to address some concerns.”
Mr. Marshall was scheduled to attend the TSSA RegionalTown Hall in Sault Ste. Marie and Mayor Wildman had re-quested a public meeting on the Island explaining that manyresidents would find it difficult to attend the Regional TownHall at the time it was scheduled.
“Mr. Marshall was concerned that the issues to be discussedwith the individual businesses might be confidential in na-ture,” said Mr. Wildman. “He would prefer the general publictry to attend the meeting in the Sault on November 12th.”
Mayor Wildman was also recently contacted by Minister ofGovernment and Consumer Services, David Orazietti to dis-cuss the situation on St. Joseph Island as a follow-up to corre-spondence he had received from Wildman and conversationswith Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Mike Mantha.
“It was very good of him to call me directly to get more detailsand express his concern over how the loss of these businesseswill affect small towns and rural communities,” said Mr. Wild-man. “Minister Orazietti is very cognizant that the centralfunction of TSSA is to ensure public safety, but he did hopethat there might be opportunities for flexibility in meetingthis goal.”
Minister Orazietti also confirmed he will be attending theTSSA Regional Town Hall in Sault Ste. Marie on November12th.

Island InsightLetters to the Editor printed in the Island Insight Column reflect the views of the writerand not necessarily those of the Island Clippings.
There are a few points I would like to make regarding last week’s cover article aboutthe TSSA.
1. First, just to be clear, I have no political or policy-making affiliations - federal,provincial, or municipal. My priorities lie with what is best for my family and that iswell known.
2. A drilled well is the water source for my family, as it is for many. If there was anychance of this being contaminated by old or corroded underground gas tanks I wouldcertainly want the TSSA to enforce environmental responsibility. I am sure this senti-ment is shared by the affected business owners.
3. The Hwy 17 E Trading post recently underwent a similar overhaul by replacing itstanks and safely removing contaminated soil. By [their] choosing to remain open, wewere able to patronize this business and support their removal process. I’m sure theaffected businesses will also be supported during their tank renovations.
4. I grew up on the Island. We have always known how to be prepared. If you need aloaf of bread or roll of tape at midnight, it will be there because we know how to planahead for our area. In the sad event that no gas stations fulfill the TSSA’s safety re-quirements and are forced to close, we will survive. We always have.
Safety and health should continue to be the number one priority.

Group insurance and group benefits – know what you haveand what you don’t have. If you’re an employer or an em-ployee, group insurance is a good thing. For employers, agroup insurance plan helps strengthen compensation pack-ages making it easier to recruit and retain quality people. Forboth employers and employees, a group plan provides a senseof security because everyone covered by the plan knows thatthey have insurance protection in place if something unex-pected happens. Or do they?
As an employer or employee, assurance that your group ben-efits plan will deliver the coverage and services you needwhen you need them is important. The goal of a group insur-ance plan is to help ensure that every employee has access toa range of benefits. Members of a group insurance plan arecompensated when they require medical services, subject tothe terms of the contract. Employers and employees share inthe cost of the insurance coverage which helps to ensure af-fordability amongst participants. Group insurance packagesvary, but may include:
• Life insurance
• Accidental death and dismemberment
• Dependents insurance
• Short-term disability
• Long-term disability
• Extended health care
• Dental care
• Critical illness
• Out-of-country medical coverage
• An employee assistance program
Do you know exactly what your group plan covers and whatit doesn’t? If not, start by carefully reviewing your group ben-efits booklet to discover whether or not your plan:
• Covers all your sources of income such as bonuses andcommissions, or whether or not caps exist that reduce themaximum benefits payable to a total amount, limit thebenefit period, or that restrict compensation to a specificincome source.
• Is indexed to address inflation rates.

At present, I am the only Board Trustee that has children (3)in our Board schools. As such, I have enjoyed particular at-tention paid to my input during Board discussions since mychildren and I have first-hand experience in day-to-dayschool activities.
I’m willing to engage the public on social media! Check meout on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/JoelRobert-CentralAlgomaTrustee
Finally, I believe the last 4 years as your trustee have given mevaluable experience to be an even more effective member ofthe Board team on your behalf.
Please consider me as the best choice to represent you to theAlgoma District School Board for the next 4 years.
