Our President’s Message

Your RTO/ERO District 14-Niagara Executive has been very busy

this winter. We are committed to enhancing services to members

and to improving the quality of life for all seniors.

Your Political Advocacy Committee has been especially busy lobby-

ing all levels of government to value the law, human rights as well as

collective bargaining rights. They are also continuing to keep a

watchful eye on the LHIN – the governing body of the Niagara

Health System.

Your Membership Committee hosted a very informative Retirement Planning

Workshop for eighty local educators and educational support staff.

We are not all work. Your Events Committee has many fun things coming soon.

We hope to see you at our Spring Luncheon on May 9, 2013. Our featured enter-

tainment will be Elaine Calder, CEO of the Shaw Festival. In the words of Gary

Comerford, Chair of the Shaw Festival’s Board of Governors, “Since her time at The

Shaw in the ‘90’s we’ve grown from a 20th century organization to one of the leading arts

institutions of the 21st century and we’re excited that Elaine is going to be a part of that new era in our evolution. We’ve witnessed the extraordinary work Elaine has done in major arts

institutions in both Canada and the United States over the past 17 years and we’re thrilled

that she is bringing this cumulative experience back to us.” Ms. Calder is recognized as

one of North American’s most sought after arts administrators. After leaving The

Shaw in 1994, Ms. Calder went on to hold executive positions in the Canadian Opera

Company, the National Arts Centre, the Edmonton Symphony, the Hartford Stage in

Connecticut and the Oregon Symphony - where she had been President of that re-

nowned institution since 2007. During her tenure, not only did the Oregon Sym-

phony achieve substantial growth in its financial stability, organizational strength and

artistic excellence, but it also reached many artistic milestones including the orches-

tra’s Carnegie Hall debut, the resumption of radio broadcasts on All Classical FM and

an agreement with the Dutch recording company PentaTone, which launched the

highly successful CD Music for a Time of War. We look forward to hearing from her!

Thank you again to the Table Officers, Executive and Committee Members for their

hard work and continued support.

NOTICE OF MOTION

Provincial RTO/ERO has reviewed our District 14

Constitution and requires us to again update it. We

will be bringing this updated version to the Member-

ship for a vote at the Spring Luncheon. You can find

a copy of the updated version on our Website (see

the address below), or request a printed copy from

Bonnie Bryan, 905-562-7773.

BILL 115

RTO/ERO is a non-partisan organization with respect

to political issues, but it does support public education

in Ontario. In light of the current education situation

within the province between the provincial government

and some of the affiliates, it is important to remember

RTO/ERO’s principles of support for our teacher col-

leagues while maintaining our historical non-partisan

status. District 14 contacted all the local affiliates to

request input on their views of Bill 115. As of the date

of publication of this issue of the Grapevine, only ETFO

has responded to our request. The following article

was written by Sharon Aloian, President of ETFO Niag-

ara:

Suffice it to say that retired teachers do not need reiteration

of past events since February, 2012.

However, I would first like to point out that the imposition of

Bill 115 is and was, never about a 2% salary increase, but

rather the unprecedented and blatant denial of the Labour

Relations process. The actions of Laurel Broten, Minister of

Education, in repealing the Bill, only resulted in an imperialis-

tic decree reminiscent of the “Alice of Wonderland’s” Queen

of Hearts decree, “Off with their heads!”

If you want to build solidarity in members, talk about fair-

ness. Elementary teachers are all about fairness, democratic

rights and what is right. These are the rules and beliefs they

build into their practices and teachings each and every day.

Thus, make no mistake, ETFO has yet again expressed the

hope that respectful discussions can begin to help end the

chaos in schools created by Bill 115. There is a fresh oppor-

tunity to work to resolve the situation, restore democracy

and settle ongoing issues in our schools. Time is of the es-

sence. Teachers are strong in principle but this is a very

difficult situation to be in and no one wants this sce-

nario. Teachers just want to do what they love and do best.

I am asking that as citizens of Ontario, you consider writing,

phoning, emailing, tweeting local and Provincial politicians to

express support for our education and resume respectful

dialogue with our federation.

WAYNE SCOTT

The Executive of District 14 - Niagara would like to ex-

tend our thanks to Wayne Scott, the author of the

regular Renaissance article “Computer Ease” as he

“retires” after twelve years of producing this column.

He has made a tremendous contribution provincially

through this work, and of course, locally as a former

District President, Grapevine Editor, and Website Man-

ager. We wish him well, and hope that he will soon find

another challenge in the future which will keep him in

touch with us!

of Education in the year in which they apply and be a Ca-

nadian citizen or a landed immigrant. They must also be a

child, grandchild, niece, nephew, grandniece, grandnephew,

son-in-law, daughter-in-law or step-child of an RTO/ERO

member who will become their sponsor. They should ap-

ply on the RTO/ERO website (http://www.ero-rto.org/

application) and must use the RTO/ERO member’s mem-

bership number. The deadline for applying is August 1 of

the year they will be in attendance at the Faculty of Educa-

tion.

PENSION NEWS

The Ontario Teachers' Federation (OTF) and the On-

tario government are changing inflation protection as

part of a plan to eliminate a 2012 funding shortfall in the

Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

- If you retired before 2010, the change does not affect

you. You will continue to receive 100% inflation protec-

tion.

- If you retired after 2009, you will receive 50% of the

annual increase in the cost of living for the portion of

your pension earned after 2009. This is a change from

the current 60% level, and the change will become effec-

tive in 2014. Inflation protection for the portion of your

pension earned before 2010 remains 100% of the annual

cost-of-living increase.

The agreement to resolve the 2012 funding

shortfall included other decisions that have no

effect on current retirees.

PENSION AND RETIREMENT CONCERNS

COMMITTEE REPORT

An important component of the duties of this committee is

the responsibility to encourage RTO/ERO members to enjoy

their retirement by aging successfully through wellness. Con-

sequently, the Provincial PR&C Committee has prepared a

workshop to present strategies for accomplishing this task.

Members who would like to be presenters are going to be

trained and will be available throughout the province to pre-

sent the workshop for the districts. If you are interested and

willing to participate in this project and be trained to be a

presenter, please, contact Marion Woodcock (905-562-

7935) immediately as training is about to begin. If you are

interested in participating in such a workshop, please, pass

that information to Marion as well. District 14 has not sched-

uled a date for the workshop yet, as we presented the “Aging

at Home” workshop last October. We would like to hear of

your interest in this new workshop.

Exercise is an important component of aging successfully and

a significant and free program, HEALTHY, SAFE, AND

STRONG, is presented by Niagara Region Seniors Commu-

nity Programs. Specially trained instructors deliver the pro-

grams free of charge to all seniors and in most communities

within the Niagara Region. These sessions focus on exercises

designed to improve your balance and posture to reduce

your risk of falling and to maintain your ability to perform the

daily living activities in your home. We have heard rave re-

ports of these sessions from a number of our members and

friends. It’s worth consideration. Call Erin Lee at 905-984-

6900 Extension 3844 to locate the site and time convenient

for you and let her know you plan to attend. All seniors are

welcome, but they do like to have an idea of how many will

be taking part in each session. Get healthy! Get Active!

Another program available to seniors with an OHIP card and

residence in Niagara, is the South Niagara Health and Well-

ness Program held at Niagara College, Main Campus at 300

Woodlawn Rd., in Welland. The program is under the direc-

tion of Jenn Bandi and is open Mon. to Fri. from 9 to 4. To

find out more information and to get involved, contact Jenn at

905-714-4407. This program offers many additional supports,

such as transportation if needed. Give Jenn a call and if you

participate let Marion know how the program works for you.

As always, any pension or retirement concerns should be di-

rected to Marion Woodcock. We are here for you. Stay

healthy!

PUBLIC RELATIONS REPORT

A new addition to the Grapevine will be a regular report

from the Public Relations Committee. The committee’s man-

date is to publicize the work and contributions of our mem-

bers in the community and to encourage members to become

involved in the community. In each newsletter the volunteer

work of a member will be highlighted. Perhaps you may wish

to contact this member to see how you can also volunteer

for the organization in which he or she is involved.

President Marilyn Malton sits on the Board of Directors for

the John Howard Society of Niagara. The group meets

twenty times a year. One branch of the society works with

youth at risk through the Niagara Regional Adolescent Cen-

tre and the Stop Now and Plan (SNAP) program in schools.

This is an award winning program in schools to help decrease

anti-social and bullying behaviours and to increase pro-social

behaviours. Contact volunteer Marilyn at maltonm@niagara.

We want to hear from more of our volunteers. E-mail me,

Carol Parker, at parker_3@sympatico.ca about your volun-

teer work in your community. Include your name, contact

number, and what, when, where, why, etc. Indicate if you

give permission to have your name published. You may

choose to remain anonymous and only have the type of vol-

unteer work you do published without your name.

“AGING AT HOME” PART 2

In the Winter Grapevine we began a series of reports on a

relatively new government mandate for Local Health Integra-

tion Networks (LHINs) called “Aging at Home”. The gov-

ernment believes that it is important to provide the support

programs seniors need to help them to stay in their homes

for a longer period of time without having to

be readmitted to hospitals because they do

not have the help and care they need at

home. Out of the number of topics pre-

sented at the RTO/ERO District 14 Confer-

ence held in October 2012, this edition will

focus on the Role of Community Care Ac-

cess Centre; Home Care; and Long Term

Care.

Most of the services needed to help seniors remain healthy

are delivered through the Community Care Access Centre

(C.C.A.C). The C.C.A.C. is the organization to contact in

order to access the many services available to seniors.

Competent case managers assess our health care needs and

work to ensure that we receive the services that we require

in order to stay in our own home. They also do the assess-

ment for placement in a long term care facility and help with

the application process. The case managers are regulated

health professionals who have a background in nursing, social

work, occupational therapy, physiotherapy or speech ther-

apy. They can be contacted 365 days a year from 8:30 am to

8:30 pm at 905-684-9441 or toll free 1-800-810-0000. They

use the agencies in our communities and they also have a

mobile crisis mental health outreach team.

With regards to Long Term Care and Home Care, a person

must be assessed by the CCAC which is usually done in the

home. The process starts with a referral from the doctor,

family member, hospital or self referral. The aim is to give

care at home as long as possible before going to an assisted

living or long-term care facility. The case manager assesses

the individual’s needs and determines if more support is re-

quired in order to stay home, or if the individual is eligible

for long term care. All aspects of care are measured against

a criteria and entered into a data bank thus ensuring that in

time of a crisis your file which includes medical records and

problems with daily living can be accessible to any CCAC in

Ontario. Basic care is between costs $1600 and $ 1700 a

month.

Since there is a long wait list for placement in a long term care

facility, it is highly recommended that you start talking about it

early. Advance planning is important. Decide on what you

want, tour the various facilities, talk to people who live there

about the kind of care they are receiving and the programs

that are offered there. You can then indicate your prefer-

ences. In the case of a crisis, people are placed quickly into a

facility. You should also be looking into different types of ac-

commodation such as if you own your home, when would be a

good time to sell and move into an apartment or into an inde-

pendent living facility. You may prefer not to move too many

times and so look into a facility that has

different levels of care from independent

living to long term care and even a demen-

tia unit. Most of these are run by for profit

corporations and can cost more than

$3500 per month. Given the financial con-

siderations, it is important to plan care-

fully.

CYCLING SENIORS

Who can ever forget the thrill of the first time you hopped on

a bicycle and wobbled down the road? What freedom! The

thrill is still there and retirement is a great time to rediscover

it. The difference is that now there are lots of gears to boost

you up the hills and instead of jeans you can be sleek in span-

dex.

You start to ride for the fun of it but there are wonderful side

effects, like breathing cleaner air, getting fit, discovering the

wonders in your own back yard and making new friends. One

older gentleman who was asked why he started biking in his

seventies answered: “When you can eat like a horse, drink

like a fish and sleep like a baby, who wouldn’t want to ride?”

And besides its beautiful

scenic roads, Niagara also

has interesting diners, and

family owned restaurants

to enjoy. The Greater Ni-

agara Cycling Route is a

gem of a trail that winds

around the lakes, rivers

and through the farms and

vineyards.

For further adventures, the province of Quebec has devel-

oped a network of cycling trails that are reported to be the

best in the world. Kitchener-Waterloo with its rolling hills

and beautiful Mennonite farms is a spectacular area to ride.

A few years ago my husband and I put our bikes in boxes,

flew to Shannon airport and for three weeks rode all around

the green fields of Ireland. We never made reservations,

there were B and B’s everywhere. You have a very different

trip on a bike. It allowed us to stop and chat with the farmer

training his sheep dogs, and the man collecting his mail took

our picture and told us about the area. We strolled through

the small towns, picking up

treats at the bakery, and

talking with locals as we sat

at a picnic table outside a

pub.

Biking is one of the few

sports where you lay down

your money for equipment

then put your wallet away.

The roads and trails are

there for all of us to enjoy. If you are hesitant because you

haven’t biked in years, there are cycling groups who offer

training and advice on how to get started. I would highly rec-

ommend the Niagara Freewheelers and not just because I’m

currently president. When you ride with others, the conver-

sation flows and the miles slip by. I would never have believed

that I could ride 3000 kilometers in a year!

Many towns and cities have discovered a positive economic

spin-off from increased numbers of cyclists. We are wel-

comed as eco-friendly, intelligent tourists with money to

spend. Who wouldn’t like to have us?

The opportunities and options are endless. All you need to

get started is a bike in decent shape and a helmet. See you

on the road. I would be happy to hear from you.

To celebrate winter in Niagara’s, one must attend one of the many regional ice wine festivals. In balmy Jordan

Village, at one point, I confess that it was so warm that I cleansed my palate with a refreshing Steam Whistle beer

served by a smiling young man dressed happily in a t-shirt. Not ideal for ice carving, but quite relaxing as mellow

participants slowly sipped Niagara’s best vintages and tapped their feet to lively outdoor music provided by the

good folks at the Twenty Valley Tourism Association.

Niagara's Twenty Valley encompasses Beamsville, Vineland and Jordan. Torontonians seeking

culture and recreation as well as inspired Niagara cuisine at such restaurants as The Inn on

the Twenty are discovering Twenty Valley’s unique offerings from the laid back serenity of rustic nature

trails to signature wine touring and boutique shopping. Indeed, besides summer golf courses here, there

are heritage sites, museums and art galleries nestled in the heart of this rural, yet surprisingly sophisti-

cated wine country.

Last weekend, on the streets of Jordan Village, slightly over 11,000 visitors (up from last year’s total of 5,000) sampled from

over 80 amazing Twenty Valley VQA red, white and sparkling wines and Icewines, an incredible variety that would please any

oenophile.

Served from inside two large white tents and outside from food trucks named El Gastronomo Vaga-

bundo, Dobro Jesti, Dirty South and Beaver Tails, besides wine, participants enjoyed myriad savoury

items to eat and diligently watched “Celebrity Chef” demos by Chuck Hughes, the SugarStars and Anna

and Michael Olson. There were fashion shows and an evening street party (Saturday) with musical en-

tertainment by USS. No, not a ship, but the musical group, Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker. (http://

www.ussmusic.com/) The after party featured music by the Mean Bones, cocktails by Dillon’s Small

Batch Distillers, delicious appetizers and of course the aforementioned delicious beer from Steam Whistle.

On Sunday, Serena Pryne and the Mandervilles played their peppy, rhythmic music, and everyone en-

joyed both her voice and the excellent backup. Serena reminds me of an aerobics’ instructor the way

she bounces back and forth, prancing on the stage. Such energy! The last group to perform was Bro-

ken Cadence before MC, J.D. Pachereva (Twenty Valley GM) brought the weekend to a close.

I enjoyed simply walking the street and meandering through the eclectic shops such as

the Jordan Art Gallery, full of unique items created by skilled local artists. Unfortu-

nately, the skating rink was not viable, but the “Roll out the Barrel Competition” went

on as scheduled. Parking again was free with a complimentary shuttle service provided to the event from both

the fire hall and arena located just on the outskirts of town. I managed to ride aboard the Dynasty Limousine

Shuttle Service bus, so spiffy that I expected champagne and dancers.

The following weekend, Niagara’s famous golden nectar was available on Queen Street in Niagara-on-the-Lake,

and on Saturday, the ice carvings flourished but Sunday’s winds caused the festival to close early. Such are the

weather patterns in our world today, and would you believe, there is a lawyer in my book club who refuses to believe in global

warming! (My daughter tells me that the glacier melts in the Andes of South America are horrific.)

Not to be outdone by Jordan and NOTL, Winterfest was celebrated downtown in St.

Catharines, January 25 from 5-9pm with more delectable VQA wines, gourmet cuisine,

live entertainment by Jonsey and the hottest trend in culinary creations, along with food

trucks so visitors did not go hungry.

In Niagara, there are many more activities listed at individual wineries, which you can also

review at: http://www.niagarawinefestival.com/page/icewine_calendar. Next season, get

out your toque, get to Niagara, move outside into the invigorating fresh air, and enjoy the delightful taste of Ni-

agara’s sweet winter harvest!
