STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic planning is used to set priorities,
focus energy and resources, strengthen
operations, and ensure that employees and
other stakeholders are working toward
common goals towards intended
outcomes. It is reviewed annually and
revised as needed. The Lodge has recently
updated our plan and adjusted the
priorities and objectives. The revised copy
is posted on the Required Information
Board located by the fireplace.
CONTINUOUS QUALITY

SCORECARD
A Balanced Scorecard is connected to our
strategic objectives. It is used to measure
how well we are doing according to our
priorities and objectives as laid out in our
strategic plan. It is one way to ensure we

are all working towards the same goal and
to achieve success from resident-centered
care to sound financial management.
RESIDENT/FAMILY SATISFACTION
SURVEY
The Resident and Family Satisfaction
Survey is conducted annually with
residents of the Lodge. It is designed to
measure resident satisfaction. The results
are compiled and used to improve our
services.
Residents are encouraged to
complete the surveys and when necessary,
with the assistance of family members or
entirely by family members. In analyzing
survey results a combination of qualitative
and quantitative methods were used to
identify the areas we do well and to seek
out opportunities for improvement. The
outcome of the 2014 surveys are completed
and a copy of the summary is posted on the
Required Information Board.

Telephone Assurance Program
(TAP) Luncheon 2015
Glen Stor Dun Lodge Telephone
Assurance Program is a free service
available to seniors in our community. We
match isolated seniors with a volunteer
who will check-in via a telephone call at a
scheduled time to ensure the client is well.
If the client does not answer the phone
during the scheduled call time, the
volunteer will call the Lodge and we will
then follow up with the client. In addition
to a security check, many volunteers and
clients form friendship over the telephone
line. Once a year, we bring them together
to enjoy a social visit.
Our thanks to them. Another thank you to
the Nutrition Care Department for
preparing a delicious meal.
Some of our guests are Dorothy Walters,
Joanne Fyfe and Audrey MacLeod.
This year, nine clients and eight volunteers
attended a luncheon organized by the
Outreach Department.
Door prize winners on the left is Ruth

50 Years of Wedded Bliss
Lorraine and Richard Cadieux
Lillian and Emerson were married in 1947
in Cornwall in their minister’s house at
night. Emerson was a Domtar employee
for 39 years and Lil was a housewife and
mother to their 2 children. Lillian was 19
years old when she got married. She said
they had a wonderful marriage. She was
very happy.

Lorraine (Granny) has been a dedicated
employee since
1981. After retiring
from the position of
full time PSW in
2005, she returned to
take up a part time
post serving our
Residents. Richard
and Lorraine will be
renewing their vows
at the Long Sault

Congratulations to the loving couple.
We are not the same persons this year as last;
nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we,
changing, continue to love a changed person.

Caregiver Corner
East Front Public School (EFPS) Last
Visit of 2015 School Year
EFPS students from our neighbor primary
school have been developing a strong
connections with our residents. These
grade 3 and 4 children are eager to take
part in regular visits occurring once every
two months. Some have developed
friendship with our residents and enjoyed
returning to see their “friends”. We look
forward to their return in the new school
year.
Joyce Ruest and Jeana Reilly enjoyed a
bingo game with the students.
This is a natural match: Owen happens to
be the great-grandson of Peggy Hill.
Elva Cousins is one of newer residents.
This is the first time she received visits
from these young friends. Seated to her left
is Heather Taylor.
Both young children and old people have a lot of
time on their hands. That's probably why they
get along so well. – Jonathan Carroll
Joan Masterman and Odette Benoit also
joined in a game with the visiting students.

Senior Citizens Month
One-Third of our Residents are over the
Age of 90
June is Senior Citizens' month. Annually
we take this time to celebrate longevity by
recognizing the nonagenarians and
centenarians among us.
Out of 130
residents currently residing at the Lodge,
one-third is over the age of 90, two of those
are over 100 years old. Imagine the
contribution they made to our community.
We are grateful to the Family Council who
once again purchased the corsages and
boutonnieres for the celebrants.
The
recognition event is topped off with a
delicious strawberry shortcake treat.

Joyeux Copains
Ce que nous n'avons pas
eux ont des champs à perte de vue. Nous
avons des serviteurs alors qu'eux servent
les autres.
Nous achetons nos denrées et eux les
cultivent. Nous avons des murs autour de
la propriété pour nous protéger. Eux ont
des amis qui les protègent. »
Le père en resta muet. Le fils rajouta : «
Merci Papa de m'avoir montré tout ce que
nous n'avons pas. »
Un jour, le père d'une très riche famille
amène son fils à la campagne pour lui
montrer comment vivent les gens pauvres.
Ils passent quelques jours dans la ferme
d'une famille qui n'a pas beaucoup à leur
offrir.
Au retour, le père demande à son fils - «
As-tu aimé ton séjour ? »
- « C'était fantastique, papa ! »
- « As-tu vu comment les gens pauvres
vivent ? » demande encore le père.
- « Ah oui ! » Répond le fils
- « Alors qu'as-tu appris ? »
Le fils lui répond :
« J'ai vu que nous n'avions qu'un chien
alors qu'ils en ont quatre. Nous avons une
piscine qui fait la moitié du jardin et ils ont
une grande crique. Nous avons des
lanternes dans notre jardin et eux ont des
étoiles partout dans le ciel. Nous avons
une immense galerie à l'avant et eux ont
l'horizon. Nous avons un domaine mais
8 Lodger July/August 2015
Trop souvent nous oublions ce qui nous
est acquis pour nous morfondre sur ce que
nous n'avons pas. Ce qui est un objet sans
valeur pour un peut très bien être un trésor
pour un autre.
Ce n'est qu'une question de perspective.
C'est à se demander ce qui arriverait si
nous avions de la gratitude pour tout ce
que nous avons au lieu d'en vouloir
toujours plus.
Apprenez à apprécier ce que vous « avez ».
Retrouvez vos yeux et votre cœur d'enfant
et voyez combien il est important
d'apprécier ce que vous avez plutôt que de
vous soucier de ce que vous ne possédez
pas.
“L'opposition systématique se donne bien
garde de demander quelque chose qu'elle
pourrait obtenir, car alors il lui faudrait être
contente ; et être contente pour l'opposition,
c'est cesser d'être.” - De Alphonse Karr

Trois gars habitent au 51ème étage.
Un soir, ils reviennent très fatigués après un
anniversaire arrosé. Comme il n'y a pas
d'ascenseur, ils doivent emprunter
l'escalier.
Arrivés au 10ème étage, l'un dit aux deux
autres :
-"Vous savez quoi les gars ?"
-"Ben, non...
- J'suis crevé !
-Mais on doit continuer !
-OK, ok !"
Arrivés au 30ème étage, le même dit aux
deux autres: "Vous savez quoi, les gars ?"
-"Non.....
-Ben, j'suis crevé !

Juillet : Mois du Très Précieux
Sang
« Il faut dire aux peuples à quel prix les
âmes ont été rachetées.
Il faut leur faire comprendre de quelle
façon le Sang du Christ les purifie et
comment ils sont sanctifiés avant tout par
les sacrements.
Afin de sortir les hommes de leur
insensibilité actuelle, il faut leur rappeler
que ce Sang est offert tous les matins sur les
autels et qu'il devrait être adoré et loué en
compensation des outrages et des
blasphèmes. »
Saint Gaspar del Bufalo (1786-1837),
fondateur des Missionnaires du Précieux
Sang (C.PP.S.) et co-fondateur des Sœurs
Adoratrices du Sang du Christ (A.S.C.). Il a
été canonisé en 1954.
« Ô Sang très
Précieux de vie
éternelle, prix et
rançon de tout

breuvage et bain
de nos âmes, qui
soutenez sans
cesse la cause des
hommes auprès

10 Lodger July/August 2015
vous adore profondément, et je voudrais,
autant qu'il est en mon pouvoir, vous
dédommager des injures et des outrages
que vous recevez sans cesse des hommes,
et spécialement de ceux qui ont l'audace et
la témérité de blasphémer contre vous. Et
qui ne bénirait ce Sang d'une valeur infinie
? Qui ne se sentirait enflammé d'amour
envers Jésus qui l'a répandu ! Que serais-je
moi-même, si je n'avais été racheté par ce
Sang divin ! Qui l'a tiré des veines de mon
Seigneur jusqu'à la dernière goutte ? Ah !
Certainement, ce fut l'amour. Ô amour
immense qui nous a donné un baume si
salutaire ! Ô baume inestimable, qui a jailli
de la source d'un amour immense, ah !
Faites que tous les cœurs, toutes les
langues puissent vous louer, vous glorifier
et vous remercier, maintenant et toujours,
et jusque dans l'éternité. Ainsi soit-il. »
Mgr. Albertini, fondateur en 1808 à Rome
de la Confrérie du très Précieux Sang
(approuvée par Pie VII en 1809, élevée au
rang d'Archiconfrérie en 1815), Oraison
finale du Petit chapelet en l'honneur du
très Précieux Sang de Jésus Christ, Rome,
1914.

contemporaine fasse l'expérience de la force du

Grandma Moses – An Inspiration
Anna Mary Robertson Moses
(September 7, 1860 – December
13, 1961), better known by her
nickname of "Grandma
Moses," was a renowned
American folk artist. In her late 70s and
struggling with severe arthritis, was no
longer able to do small detail work of
embroidery. She found she could hold a small
paintbrush much easier than a needle, and
tried her hand at painting. She thought her
farm and country scenes were good enough
to show at the fair, but she only won prizes for
her preserves and canned fruit.
Then one day an art collector noticed several
of her paintings on display in the window of a
local drug store. He bought them all. When he
showed them to his friends in the art circles of
New York city, they were more curious about
the painter.
Soon, "Grandma Moses" gained an
international reputation. Her widelycollected works of art were featured on
calendars, greeting cards and in exhibitions in
the leading galleries, including the Museum
of Modern Art in New York City.
Even more amazing, it's reported that twentyfive percent of her more than 1,500 paintings
were done after she had turned 100!
Moses' paintings are
a m o n g
t h e
collections of many
museums. The
Sugaring Off was
sold for US$1.2
million in 2006. Isn't
it time you got started?

Canada Day
By Stompin Tom Connors
It's Canada Day up Canada Way
on the first day of July.
And we're shouting hooray up Canada
Way when the maple leaf flies high.
Where the silver jets from East to West
go streaming through our skies.
We'll be shouting hooray up Canada
Way when the great parade goes by.
Chorus:
Oh Canada, standing tall together,
We'll raise our hands and hail our flag
The maple leaf forever.
It's Canada Day up Canada Way on the
long cold winters done.
And we're shouting hooray up Canada
Way for the great days yet to come.
Where maple trees grow maple leaves
when the Northern sun is high.
We're Canadians and we're born again
on the first day of July
Day Away staff would like to wish all
clients, families, caregivers, volunteers,
and staff a
Happy Canada Day!

Hoover Dam and our St. Lawrence River Project
On a recent trip to the American southwest
I visited the Hoover Dam. It is one of the
largest dams in the world. It provides
water and power to people in Arizona,
Nevada, Utah and California.
The
Colorado River is controlled by this dam
to prevent flooding. The largest manmade lake in America is created on the
other side of this dam. It is called Lake
Mead.
While I was walking on the Hoover Dam I
thought about our Robert Saunders
Generating Station, our St. Lawrence
Seaway and our dyke that was holding
back the river. Growing up in Cornwall in
the 50`s and 60`s I had experienced the
building of the Moses (U.S.A.) – Saunders
(Canada) Hydro Project. This had been a
thirty-five year old dream to use the water
18 Lodger July/August 2015
of the St. Lawrence River to provide hydro
for people of Ontario and New York. My
Dad, Lloyd Hill, had worked for Iroquois
Construction during this project. He was
one of the dispatchers / organizers for the
army of dump trucks, cement mixers, earth
movers required for this massive project.
A dyke had been constructed to create a
reservoir for the water of the St. Lawrence
River.
I remember joining hundreds of spectators
on top of this dyke for the inundation.
Were you there on the top of the dyke,
also? Were you as excited as I was to
experience this event? Mom and Dad
packed a picnic. We would be spending
hours on top of the dyke as the last coffer
dam was blown up to allow water from the
river to be diverted to the powerhouse at
our generating station. We were also?
Were you as excited as I was to experience
this event? Mom and Dad packed a picnic.
We would be spending hours on top of the
dyke as the last coffer dam was blown up to
allow water from the river to be diverted to
the powerhouse at our generating station.
By Stephanie Hill-Nicholls
We were entertained by our beloved Snow
Birds Air Show. In my little nine year old
mind I was truly amazed by this event.
However disappointed I was at not seeing
the water come rushing to the dyke, it took
4 days to fill the reservoir, I was saved from
seeing fleeing and drowning animals
trying to unsuccessfully outrun the water.
Wooden nickels were made to
commemorate the inundation on July 1,
1958. Do you still have one? Remember
the old expression, “Don’t take any
wooden nickels?”
This is the time in our local history when
engineers believed it necessary to move
communities so they would have the
required land for the reservoir. These
communities included Wales, Aultsville,
Dickenson’s Landing, Farran’s Point,
Maple Grove, Milles Roches, Moulinette,
Santa Cruz, Sheek’s Island and Woodland.
Five hundred and twenty-five homes,
churches and schools were moved
affecting six thousand and five hundred
people.
These people had to leave
generational farms and life-long
communities. The “Lost Villages” have
retrieved and renovated some buildings.
Villages of Ingleside, Long Sault,
Morrisburg and Iroquois have been
created or their neighbourhoods added to.
The properties that were not moved were
purchased at reduced prices because the
Seaway had influenced a downward real
estate spiral.
If you are interested in knowing more
about this time in our
history I would encourage
you to visit “The Lost
Villages” on Highway 2
west and take a guided bus
tour along the river. Here is
my grandson Owen on a
field trip with me while researching for this
article.
Stephanie is seen standing outside the Ontario
Power Generating Station. The station has an
excellent pictorial display and video guide. It is
located near the Robert Saunders Generator
and dyke and is accessible.
Local author, Maggie Wheeler, has
combined fact and fiction in her writing of
four murder mystery novels. She gives
information about the Seaway project from
the affected peoples' point of view. These
are emotional remembrances from a
generation who survived a war only to
later have their homes and farms taken
from them.
The factual information is taken from “St.
Lawrence Power, final souvenir edition,
September 5, 1958” provided by the O.P.G.
Visitor ’s Centre. Also “ The Hoover Dam by
Jeffrey Zuehlke, Lerner Publications, 2010”

Canada Feature
50th Birthday of the Canadian Flag
The search for a new Canadian flag started
in earnest in 1925 when a committee of the
Privy Council began to research possible
designs for a national flag. However, the
work of the committee was never
completed.
Later, in 1946, a select parliamentary
committee was appointed with a similar
mandate, called for submissions and
received more than 2,600 designs. Still, the
Parliament of Canada was never called
upon to formally vote on a design.
Early in 1964, Prime Minister Lester B.
Pearson informed the House of Commons
that the government wished to adopt a
distinctive national flag. The 1967
centennial celebration of Confederation
was, after all, approaching. As a result, a
Senate and House of Commons
Committee was formed and submissions
were called for once again.
20 Lodger July/August 2015
In October 1964, after eliminating various
proposals, the committee was left with
three possible designs -- a Red Ensign with
the fleur-de-lis and the Union Jack, a design
incorporating three red maple leaves, and a
red flag with a single, stylized red maple
leaf on a white square.
The names of Mr. John Matheson and Dr.
George Stanley are well known in the story
of the evolution of a new Canadian flag.
Mr. Matheson, a Member of Parliament
from Ontario, was perhaps one of the
strongest supporters of a new flag and
played a key advisory role. Dr. Stanley was
Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College
in Kingston, and brought to the attention of
the committee the fact that the
Commandant's flag at the College -- an
emblem, i.e. a mailed fist, on a red and
white ground -- was impressive.
Dr. Stanley's design is based on a strong
sense of Canadian history. The
combination of red, white and red first
appeared in the General Service Medal
issued by Queen Victoria. Red and white
were subsequently proclaimed Canada's
national colours by King George V in 1921.
Three years earlier, Major General (later
the Honourable) Sir Eugene Fiset had
recommended that Canada's emblem be
the single red maple leaf on a white field the device worn by all Canadian Olympic
athletes since 1904.
The committee eventually decided to
recommend the single-leaf design, which
was approved by resolution of the House
of Commons on December 15, 1964,
followed by the Senate on December 17,
1964, and proclaimed by Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, to
take effect on February 15, 1965.
The national flag of Canada, then, came
into being, credit to those eminent
Canadians: the Right Honourable Lester B.
Pearson, who wanted a distinctive national
flag as a vehicle to promote national unity;
John Matheson, who established the
conceptual framework for a suitable flag,
then sought out and combined the
appropriate components to create it; and
Dr. George Stanley, who provided the
seminal concept - the central concepts of
red-white-red stripes with a central maple
leaf - in this process.
National Flag of Canada Day
“The flag is the symbol of the nation's
unity, for it, beyond any doubt, represents
all the citizens of Canada without
distinction of race, language, belief or
opinion,” declared the Speaker of the
Senate at the Inauguration of the new flag
in 1965.
On February 15, 1965 our national flag
was raised for the first time on Parliament
Hill. Canada was just two years away
from centennial celebrations when the
maple leaf flag was made official by Royal
Proclamation. In 1996, February 15 was
declared National Flag of Canada Day and
has been observed every year since.

Liane might have a relatively short career
in the arts, but it has been most rewarding
to her. One hundred paintings later, she
still gets excited when facing a blank
canvas and a brand new project.
Liane considers herself to be a self-taught
artist. She found her passion in her
retirement years and has grown from an
amateur to a full fledge professional artist
who teaches others in her spare time.
She began working with stain glass and
tried her hand in tole painting. She
surprised herself in her first attempt to
paint on canvas.
A Self Portrait
Not for Sale
She dabbled in oils and watercolours but
her main love is acrylics. She is a realist
painter and enjoys fussing over details.
Teaching painting for the past two years
has been most enjoyable to her. She looks
forward to sharing her skills and
knowledge with others with the same
passion and interest.

Square
Our Mom, Peggy Hill, used her Good

for the majority of her recipes. She was a
great cook who enjoyed preparing our
Sunday dinners with a Roast Beef, Chicken
or Ham. Here I have prepared everyone's

This recipe was prepared for the
Progressive Conservative Bake sales,
Family dinners and school fundraisers.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we have these
many years.

FARMER JOHN
Old farmer John owns a
small farm in
Saskatchewan. The
Ministry of Labour
claimed he was not
paying proper wages
to his workers and sent
an investigator to audit
him.
'I need a list of your employees and how
much you pay them,' demanded the
investigator.
'Well,' replied old John, 'There's my farm
hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay
him $600 a week and free room and board.
The cook has been here for 18 months, and I
pay her $500 a week plus free room and
board. Then there is the half-wit who works
about 18 hours every day and does about
90% of all the work around here. He makes
about $10 per week, pays his own room and
board and I buy him a bottle of bourbon
every Saturday night.’
'That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,'
says the investigator.
'That would be me,' replied old farmer John.
THE GOLF POEM
In my hand I hold a ball
white and dimpled, rather small
Oh , how bland it does appear
this harmless looking little sphere.
26 Lodger July/August 2015
By its size I could not guess
the awesome strength it does possess
But since I fell beneath it's spell
I've wandered through the fires of hell.
My life has not been quite the same
Since I chose to play this stupid game
It rules my mind for hours on end
A fortune it has made me spend
It has made me swear and yell and cry
I hate myself and want to die
It promises a thing called par
If I can hit straight and far
To master such a tiny ball
should not be very hard at all
But my desires the ball refuses
and does exactly like it chooses
It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies
and even disappears before my eyes
Often it will take a whim
to hit a tree or take a swim
With miles of grass on which to land
it finds a tiny patch of sand
Then has me offering up my soul
if only it would find the hole
It's made me whimper like a pup
and swear that I will give it up
And take a drink to ease my sorrow
but the ball knows I'll be back tomorrow!

Marc Dicaire Goes Big In Sandbags
It was Marc Dicaire's
month to shine.
As
someone who regularly
puts up great scores
month after month,
Marc's consistency
finally paid off. Marc's
go big or go home tactics are bold but
admirable. While most players shy away
from the elusive 300 point hole because of
its difficulty, Marc doesn't go for anything
but each and every time. High risk, high
reward but a challenge that he seems to
embrace. As usual, nobody hit the 300
mark more and he did and his high score of
1420 was a best among all players in the
month of June. Keep it up Marc and here is
a list of players who also made the 1000
point club for their fine play. Bruno Massie
1340, Theresa Rowe 1270, Bill Gove 1270,
Suzie Martel 1260, J.P. Theoret 1230, Yvon
Duplantie 1200, Hattie Armstrong 1200,
Elva Cousins 1120, Jeanette Fournier 1150,
Agathe Jolicoeur 1090, Lucinda Gordon
1050, Lynn Sawinski 1020, Jeana Reilly
1020, Fleurette Palletier 1010 and Brian
Gignac 1000.
Theresa Carriere Puts Her Stamp on the
Dart Board
There were a dozen
bulls in June with
the majority coming
by way of the ladies.
Rocky Lalonde did
his best to represent
Scoreboard
the men and hit one bullseye for the cause.
Theresa Carriere pieced together quite an
impressive run hitting a couple bulls and
providing high scores of 87, 87 and 86 along
the way. Hattie Armstrong's score of 89
was tops among all players and she also
put up a couple of bull's with some spirited
play. The rest of the bull shooters looked
like this: Odette Benoit 2, Jeana Reilly 1,
Wilma Lortie 1, Jan Fournier 1, Joyce Ruest
1, and Anita Reed 1. These ladies certainly
are rolling as we jump into the summer
months. I would like to extend a big thank
you to everyone who comes out to make
Fridayafternoon darts such a great
tradition.
See you all back here in
September.
Nativity Bowling to Return in September
A n o t h e r
successful
bowling season
has wrapped
up as Nativity
Lanes will be
closing as usual
for the summer
months. Great scores and good times were
had and we hope that we can reconvene in
September for more fun. The Lodge would
like to thank Janet Wheeler and her staff at
Nativity Bowling Lanes for making our
group feel at home and accommodating all
of our needs.
Hopefully our group
continues to grow and we will be back
throwing strikes come the fall.
