The Town Hall will be hosted on 9 Oct at 1800 hrs at the Troyes Theatre. Come to learn about current and future planned projects to improve the quality of life in the RHUs. This is your opportunity to provide feedback and learn about the initiatives to improve the housing for you and your family. Petawawa Post To accommodate the arrival of personnel and families of 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, the Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA) began construction of 64 new housing units at Garrison Petawawa. To date, 26 new Residential Housing Units (RHUs) have been completed and are occupied. “We knew that there was perhaps 400 new families coming here and based on our ratio we know there would be between 50 to 100 families who would require housing on the base,” said CFHA CEO Dominique Francoeur. “That’s why we were able to get funding for the new houses. “Unfortunately, we don’t get to build new houses everywhere,” she added. “It’s only when we have projects like this that we can afford to build new houses so this is great. It’s great for the families as well.” Phase one of the project cost $5.5 million and was comprised of the first 26 units. The entire project will cost $33.4 million. Wade Construction Limited of Petawawa was awarded the contract for the initial phase. The second phase is an additional 38 new homes, of which there are still 32 under construction. The new RHUs are located on the Garrison’s north and south townsites and include semi-detached homes and townhouses. All have attached garages. These houses have been specifically tailored with military families in mind. “We made sure they were big enough to have larger families,” said Francoeur. “So I think the people will enjoy living in them.” Master Corporal Kevin Labelle of 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and his family were the first to move in. Having lived in Petawawa for the past eight years, they experienced a range of RHUs. “We are getting spoiled right now,” said Cindy Labelle. “If we get posted, we are going to have a hard time finding another house that compares to this one.” Attending the ribbon cutting for phase 1 of the CFHA’s RHU construction project on Oct. 7 were, from left, 4th Canadian Division Support Group (4 CDSG) Formation Sergeant Major CWO Bill Richards, Lt Jessica Grace from 1 Canadian Field Hospital, Connor Labelle, MCpl Kevin Labelle, Jacob Labelle, RSM Personnel Services (Pers Svcs) MWO Patrick White, Cindy Labelle, Nicholas Labelle, Commanding Officer (CO) Pers Svcs - LCol Daniel Blanc, 4 CDSG Commander Colonel Marc Gagne, CFHA HSC Petawawa Manager Guy Lafrance, CFHA CEO Dominique Francoeur, CFHA Regional Manager Susie Bleau-Lavoie, CFHA CWO Rick Gillis and Defence Construction Canada Rep Bernie Finucane.

Petawawa Post Municipal election and school board trustee candidates found themselves in the hot seat at the Sept. 30 All Candidates meeting at the Petawawa Civic Centre. The council and trustee hopefuls were under sharp scrutiny in their efforts to claim one of six open seats on council, and the trustee spot for the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) and the Conseil des Ecoles Publiques de L’Est de L’Ontario (CEPEO). A fiscally responsible, development-friendly council that takes the burden off the taxpayers while maintaining infrastructure and promoting homes for seniors was a common vision, though each member of the panel also shared their unique ideas, projects and passions with the large crowd in attendance. They also fielded questions on a variety of subjects including senior housing, transportation, amalgamation, police contracting and development. The questions were chosen by a draw and assigned to three randomly chosen candidates. It was the consensus of three selected candidates that while council was not actively searching for a specific builder to create more senior housing, it was a very important future project. “There are a lot of questions out there about senior housing, anything from renting to geared income to seniors to other types of senior living,” said current Deputy Mayor Tom Mohns. “… We are in the process of trying to work on something, but we are not actively pursuing a builder at this date and time.” “It’s definitely something that this community needs,” said candidate Gary Serviss. “As more and more people choose to retire here in Petawawa and are unable to keep their homes.” “One thing I would like to add is that I know that there was a condo developer here in town that is trying to put condo-style homes packaged together,” added councillor Murray Rutz. “… This is definitely something that we need and that I will be supporting it in any way we can.” Several voters were curious as to whether the candidates would be willing to create local public transportation. “It is certainly something that was explored a number of years back, but presently there is no thought towards installing a bus service,” said councillor Theresa Sabourin. “I know that the base had done that just a few years back and it ended up not being well utilized.” Councillor James Carmody echoed Sabourin’s comments, but he went on to add that a shuttle between Petawawa and Pembroke could be beneficial. Wayne Bando said a good alternative would be to negotiate with local taxis to create a service for the el- derly and those with mobility issues. On transportation as a whole, Ann McIntyre highlighted challenges for access routes to and from Garrison Petawawa. Due to location, the town has to seek approval from the county, the province, the federal government as well as environmental groups for any project. “It isn’t just a quick answer to one thing,” said McIntyre. Dominic Grosleau said it’s his belief that a shuttle from the downtown core to the garrison would alleviate some of the traffic jams. Chris Clouthier looked at it from an active transportation perspective. “Traffic issues going into the base are a problem right now,” said Clouthier. “… But I think in some ways we can build up our walkways and/ or bike paths to accommodate some of that.” One of the residents asked about the support the candidates would provide to the farmers and their properties in town. Grosleau admitted he doesn’t know much about farming, but believes strongly in their value in providing food for the country. “Should something happen to the farming community in Petawawa I would be more than happy to go knock at those doors to see what can be done to help them out and research the issue further,” he added. “I think that as a town and as council we should assist those farmers in some way,” said candidate Doug Armstrong. “Maybe some type of tax reduction ... and encourage them to use more of their property.” “Certainly the municipality, as far as I know and for as long as I’ve been on council, has never played a role in looking after farms,” said councillor Treena Lemay. “There are certainly provincial organizations that do that and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture is probably the best one to do that. “I’m not sure what the concern is that the farmers have,” she added. “If it is in relation to tax reduction, unfortunately municipalities can’t do that. Sometimes people think we can, but it is illegal.” The question of amalgamation was greeted by a clamour of voices and all prospective councillors quickly shot down the idea. With so much construction in the area, some residents were worried about the environment. “The town has tried to appease these people by putting in to our subdivision agreements to planting of trees,” said Mohns. “… Any new subdivision now must have trees planted.” “I believe that the town has a beautification budget for tree planting and the upgrading of some of the facilities nearby,” said Clouthier. “… But there is still need for more to be done after the storm went through. It’s ongoing.” “One thing that council has made aware to anyone who is building in our community is that green aspect is the most important part of our community as well as introducing new businesses,” said McIntyre. continued on page 5 Advertising: Errors or correction must be brought to the attention of the Managing Editor the day after the first insertion.

But I think that pushing forward the way we are and trying to make it a green community, I think people understand that is what we want.” Some residents were also concerned about the market being flooded by building permits. To that end, Rutz said the market dedicates the amount of permits sold. “However, the town must work hand in hand with the developers to make sure we have the infrastructure in place so that when we have new subdivisions coming on board we have the capacity for all of the waste water and all of the water going to the subdivision,” said Carmody. “It’s the contractor that takes the risk to build that home,” noted Armstrong. “He may have to sit on it for a few years before they can sell it or he may get lucky and sell it. It depends on the market.” Voters voiced concern that the rising costs of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would result in a reduction of services or augmentation of taxes. They asked the candidates what option would they choose. “A better question here is if the cost of OPP services keeps on rising with half of the costs between the OPP and the province, maybe it would be a better use of our time to look at the economics of creating a regional police force,” said Grosleau. “A reduction in our policing is something that I really don’t think we can do, not at the rate of growth that we are having, to be able to maintain the standard that we have right now,” noted McIntyre. “As far as increasing costs, I don’t know. I think it is all going to come down to the contract.” Serviss believes that Petawawa is a safe and comfortable place to live. “I think a lot of that has to do with family structure and good parenting,” he said. “… There is not a lot of crime in this town. Having said that, I think it is important that we maintain the present policing that we have. As our population continues to grow, I don’t think it’s wise to do any cutbacks as far as what we have right now.” He believes that even if the costs of the OPP rise, it won’t be necessary to raise taxes, as the budget can be reworked. Mayor Bob Sweet was acclaimed and will be heading into his fifth term. He said he is looking forward to working with the new council and deeply appreciates the faith put in him by his residents. “I find it very, very interesting to listen to your ideas, your vision and platform going forward for our great community of Petawawa,” said Sweet. As for the potential school board trustees, improving school programs, building up extracurricular activities and looking after the childrens’ well-being were common threads in their platforms. Elwyn Behnke is running for the RCDSB trustee position. He spoke of his long-time commitment to the area, his previous municipal experience as councillor and reeve. and his involvement in a variety of community projects including the establishment of the Petawawa Civic Centre. As trustee, he said he would like to promote learning of basic skills, like math- ematics, and get back to the teaching of a solid curriculum. “As a trustee, I intend to promote the basics of education that are now missing and also the school’s extracurricular activities,” said Behnke. “The school’s extracurricular activities are very much needed. When our children are there, they are not on the street causing problems.” Bryon Morris was his competition. Morris has been a long-time resident of Petawawa and he spent 35 years in education, starting as a teacher in 1971 at General Panet. He served as a trustee for Petawawa for 15 years, and believes in being available to the public full time and being an advocate for parents. “Everything we can do to enhance their future, we have to do it,” said Morris. “And I’ve just been so blessed that I’ve been able to work with so many, literally thousands, of our young people over the years.” CEPEO Trustee hopeful Colette Stitt has 26-years experience on the board. She said that she knows the needs of the board and how it functions. Over the years, she has participated in each and every decision that the school board has taken since it was first created. She also attends all the committee meetings. Her goals are the success and the wellbeing of the students. “I listen and I take into consideration the preoccupations of the parents, the students and members of the community,” Stitt said in French. “I aim for a high-quality French education. It’s a passion for me. I have a vision and years of experience. I’m devoted 100 per cent.” Her rival Andre Yonkeu spoke passionately about his desire to make French education schools better places for learning. He has deeply immersed himself in his children’s education by joining several school committees. He has also taught both at the university and high school level. If selected, he aims to make the students better citizens of tomorrow, and establish high-quality programs that answer to unique student needs. He also plans to further open lines of communication between parents and educators. “If you vote for me, you are voting for a school assisting community needs,” said Yonkeu. “I’ll make sure to have qualified teachers and support workers to answer the needs of our great community. If you vote for me, you’ll be voting for transparency and regular communication, which is very, very important.” David Howard was acclaimed as trustee for the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. Robert Lemelin will return as trustee for the French Catholic School Board. Councillor Frank Cirella was absent due to illness, but was replaced by Peter Hiscott who acted as his proxy. The Rotary Club of Petawawa hosted the All Candidates night, and former Petawawa councillor Cy Steele was the evening’s moderator. An advance vote will be held on Oct. 18 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the municipal offices. The regular voting day is Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Petawawa Civic Centre.

Upper Ottawa Valley OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Jeff Smith revealed the new costs of policing in Petawawa during the Oct. 6 council meeting. For 2015, the billing model will translate into a charge of $1,742,994 per year. This is an increase of $36,383 or 2.5 per cent over the 2014 budget of $1,706,611 annually. This comes down to $341.91 per property. “I don’t want people to think that somewhere in 2015 they are going to get a bill from the Town of Petawawa for $341 for their police service,” said Mayor Bob Sweet. “That number is already included in the tax rate that we established. It’s part of our budget going forward. The new billing model indicates that the town will be charged $145,250 on a monthly basis. “We are looking at what it costs to recruit a candidate, hire them, put a uniform on them, train them, put them in a car, dispatch them, supervise them once they get to the call,” said Smith. “What does that cost?” The answer is $200.51 per property in Ontario. The new model takes that base fee and adds an additional charge for each service call to the municipality. These supplementary fees are estimated from a calculation done over the past four years, in which the OPP added the amount of calls and averaged the costs. The billing model will then charge $341.91 per property in Petawawa. At the end of the year, this fee will be recalculated to reflect more accurate numbers. This amount may rise or fall according to how often police services are used in the community. If the community works together to keep the amount of unnecessary calls down, the town will ultimately pay less. Sweet believes this is possible. In the past, police were unnecessarily called to take care of graffiti, but an education campaign brought the calls down from 30 to two. A similar technique could be used to keep nonemergency calls down, said Sweet. The detachment has also hired mental health professionals to help cut down costs and get people the help they need. “If we show up and we just deal with that issue that night, we will likely be going back next week, next month, but if we show up and we have a mental health worker … then those are the things that we are not going to go back,” noted Smith. “That’s where the savings are to the municipality because there are significant calls where we go back time and time again.” The formula to calculate the fees was imposed by the province. It was chosen to make it as fair and as equitable as possible across Ontario. “In the past, we had some properties in the province, some not far from here, who were paying under $100 a year for total for policing, where we had other municipalities paying $800 per property per year,” said Smith. “So there was a significant gap. “We had some municipalities that were basically carrying the weight for other municipalities,” he added. According to Smith, the province will not be making any extra money from this billing system. Rather, they are distributing the cost burden throughout the various municipalities. Sweet is quite pleased with the number that was presented, particularly considering the levels of service. “I think that the community is well served by the OPP for the dollars that they are talking about,” he said.

For the past few months, these blue hued bicycles have been appearing in local communities and at different events. Attached to the front of these bikes is a small sign, which lists local phone numbers and organizations for mental health crisis, support and information. “The concept of the blue bike started with Clara’s Big Ride through the Bell Let’s Talk initiative,” said KidActive Executive Director Shauna Babcock. “… I think there is a symbol of hope in blue. “It was a little bit of guerrilla advertising to have blue bikes pop up in our communities,” she added. “You start to wonder what these blue bikes mean.” Though it was meant to be a project that lasted only during Hughes’ fundraising ride, it was such a success that they have now become a symbol for mental health awareness, a mobile statue highlighting the efforts towards removing the stigma of mental illness, and helping to heal it through exercise. “We are going to keep that going because they have really strong branding and recognition throughout Renfrew County,” Babcock said. “They are going to rotate so you are going to have to be surprised (at where they appear).” Following on the heels of Hughes’ momentum, KidActive, the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families, the Breaking the Silence Project, the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre and the North Renfrew Family services partnered together to create this project. These key partners had a meeting at the Deep River Town Hall Oct. 1, hosted by the Physical Activity Network-Renfrew County (PAN-RC), where attendees asked themselves how could they continue to support mental health now that Hughes has completed her ride. “We’ll continue in our collaboration and partner with even more organizations to build on Mental Health Awareness Week and to continue to use the blue bike as symbolism to support ending the stigma around mental health and to promote mental health through movement,” said Babcock. “The beauty of this is how much of a collective effort it was,” she added. “I’m very proud to be part of this group, very honoured to be part of this group.” Hughes’s 110-day, 12,000 km journey across Canada has been inspiring. Her own battle with mental illness has caused community champions to emerge, carrying her flame and her message of hope. “Even before she cycled through, even after,” said Babcock. Babcock strongly believes that mental health is integral to having a good community and strong families. Studies have shown that even something as simple as a walk around the block can do wonders for the psyche. Babcock hopes that the blue bike project will inspire children as well as adults to take care of their mental health by engaging in physical activity. Smile Cookies are gone but the smiles they’ve left in our community will last forever. Thanks to your support, Tim Hortons will be donating the entire proceeds to Roger’s House in the amount of $5,880.00.

Petawawa Post, October 9, 2014, Page 11 The War Horse Project By Patricia Leboeuf Petawawa Post A new program is using horses to help facilitate physical, mental and emotional healing for local veterans dealing with the after-effects of trauma. The War Horse Project began on July 4, and has proven beneficial to those who have participated. It has even been helpful for those who aren’t passionate about horses, or those who fear them. “It’s not just about, �Hey, let’s play with horses,’” said participant Sergeant Graham Ridley. “There is a lot of therapy, a lot of healing going on. There really truly is. It is very powerful.” Ridley has regained significant confidence through the program, noting it’s been a valuable part of the healing process. “I’m not dismissing other forms of treatment or anything like that, I’ve been through the whole gamut of them, but here you are applying what you are learning. You can weigh that and you can take it or you can leave it, but you know you are walking away with experience.” The program, offered by Hope Reins Equine Assisted Therapy Programs, features a laidback, easy-going atmosphere. There are no attempts to push people into directions they don’t want to go. There is no psychoanalysis or clinical observation. There are just horses and the people who handle them in a safe and welcoming environment. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t work. Participants have to learn the nittygritty of horse care. They learn how to approach the horse and saddle them as well as how to gain its trust long before they are allowed to ride. Through these lessons, participants subtly learn a lot about themselves and the world around them. “With a lot of activities, I think, there is learning done by a lot of people that they don’t even realize how much they have learned,” said Master Bombardier Martin Langlois. “… All the emotional and trauma things get looked after,” he added. Participants aren’t assigned a particular horse; rather the horse comes to them organically. Sometimes pairs that may seem com- pletely unsuitable to each other at first glance become incredibly close partners. Sgt Ridley would have never chosen Keeshe as his mount. He even originally had his eye on another horse, but the mare’s personality won him over. “Me and Keeshe just clicked,” he said. “… You don’t know what you are going to get with her. Is she going to be compliant today? Is she going to be feisty? But I go to her and she goes to me.” According to War Horse Project program director Alison Vandergragt, the horse is the one who actually does the choosing, instinctively orienting itself to a human whose needs it can satisfy. Their personalities are reflected in the participants, helping them reach deep inside and heal the wounds there. “I let the horses sneak in these things (therapy) for us,” said Vandergragt. “I think that when the best laid plans are laid, the horses always have an ulterior idea. Theirs will always be better than ours was. “It seems like the horses always know better,” she added. “… We just go with it. It’s always worked out well.” Overcoming anxieties together has allowed the group to grow very close. “I do feel a bond with other people in this program that I only feel with guys who have been with me over there or in my unit,” said MBdr Langlois. “That’s refreshing. “That’s also kind of surprising for myself,” he added. “Again that teaches me that I don’t have to be in my same unit forever. I can make friends outside of it.” For both Sgt Ridley and MBdr Langlois, the program has been so helpful they happily promote it to everybody who will listen. “It just has got to get out there,” said Sgt Ridley. “It’s just another tool for the toolbox for guys to sort themselves out and get better.” The program lasts 16 weeks and can accommodate eight local men and women. It was born from another pilot project with the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families. What Vandergragt and her other facilitators noticed was that many of the children in that program had a military parent suffering from a mental illness at home. “Doing the work at the Phoenix Centre has been fantastic,” said Vandergragt. “We do deal with the children and their concerns. But this is a great opportunity to get the parents. “They are all families who are struggling with the same things,” she added. This is the first time this facilitation team has dealt directly with veterans and their injuries. Though response has been more positive than expected, the program is looking for more funds as it costs $12,000 to run it. Because the facilitators believed so much in the program, they have volunteered their time, hoping to be able to demonstrate imperically the benefits and secure governmental funding. The Forbes family on BLine Road also donates the farm on which they ride. It has been so popular that Vandegragt is holding two extra sessions. “Right now the program is just military, but our goal is to include First Responders,” she said. For more information on the War Horse Project, please contact program director Alison Vandergragt at vanderbrookfarm@ gmail.com.

GOING ON A TOUR OR EXTENDED TRIP? Thinking About... Storage The Get Fit-Keep Fit Fall fitness classes schedule has been released and people looking to get in shape have a bevy of options to choose from, ranging from Shape Up classes for beginners, AquaFit for swimmers, or Warrior Fitness classes. Sharon Singleton is one of the instructors at the Garrison Petawawa’s Recreation Complex (Rec Plex). “We’ve got really, really good members,” she said. “We have really great staff and they are a lot of fun. That’s the big thing that we stress; having fun in our classes.” Different types of classes attract different types of people, but Singleton believes that the Rec Plex offers something for everybody. “There are older adults, there are young moms, every now and again I’ll get pregnant ladies in or people with different health issues,” she said. “It’s something that we are very fortunate to have,” she added. “People should take advantage of that.” Singleton also teaches yoga and people from all walks of life and experience levels join her classes. “Yoga is one of those things that is good for everybody,” said Singleton. “There is so much stress and tension that builds up in the body that yoga helps you not only learn to let go of the tension that gets held in your muscles, but it also frees up your mind.” She loves seeing people blossom under her tutelage. “People get so much out of it,” said Singleton. “… There are a lot of people who find that the stress is too much and after doing yoga, they are able to take the things that they learned on the mat and apply it to their daily lives.” Karen Campbell has been attending fitness classes at the Rec Plex for the past two years and has made it a tradition to join Yogalates on Wednesdays as well as her usual Friday yoga classes. The 46-year-old particularly en- License # M649527 joys the fact that the yoga classes allow her to stretch and work at her own speed. “I love the fact that you can take everything at your own pace,” said Campbell. “You don’t ever feel rushed and she tells you exactly where you should be feeling the stretches.” She admits to being in better shape and more flexible now than at any other time in her life. The fitness classes have allowed her to keep her strength up despite the fact that she cannot currently run due to a fractured foot. “It’s great for rehabilitation,” added Campbell. Being able to work out at the Rec Plex is also cost effective. Even though Campbell isn’t a military member, her entire family benefits from having Community Access Cards (CAC). “These classes are affordable,” said Campbell. “They aren’t compulsory so you can pick and choose when to come and when not to come.” For more information on Garrison Petawawa’s Recreational Fitness programs, visit psppetawawa.com. • Car • Bike • Truck • ATV FEATURING: • “No Hassle” - Key Drop-Off • Use The Vehicle Until You Depart & Pass The Key To Our Staff • Shuttle Service To Departure Site • Dust Covers Used On All Vehicles • Secure Indoor Climate Controlled Storage DO WE HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU!

The event, now in its ninth year, signifies the start of the Hugli’s Fall Family Fun Season. “It has been a tradition for many families to come and take in the giant pumpkin boat races and stay the rest of the day to go through the six-acre corn maze or watch the pumpkin cannon show or do all the other activities we have going on today,” said co-owner Judy Hugli. “We have these activities running all the way through October.” The event is usually an enormous draw and this year was no exception. “We are thrilled with the turnout,” said Hugli. “The weather is beautiful for getting outside and enjoying all the fun family fall activities going on and watching the boat races. “We really appreciate the community supporting the events that we put on,” she added. “We have a lot of fun putting these events on and we hope to continue doing it for many years to come.” The boats are carved out of supersized pumpkins and squashes donated from the previous day’s Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off event. She admits that it adds to the entertainment factor when one of the contestants ends up falling out of his or her vessel. “It usually does happen,” said Hugli. “We usually see one of the competitors go for a swim.” There are two categories for the races: selected and celebrities. The three first selected racers were picked by a draw while the second cropping were carefully selected local celebrities. When Pembroke resident Sue Komsy’s name was announced, her loud cheer could be heard from atop the hill. Despite being a long-time fan of the races, it was the first time she was chosen to participate. She experienced a rocky beginning, getting stuck, spinning in circles for a large chunk of the event and nearly falling in to the frigid pond water. Yet despite her setbacks, she never gave up and she managed to squeak out second place. “I’m very proud of myself,” said Komsy. “I didn’t lose faith. I wanted to come in first, but second is o.k.” Others traveled from far away to attend the unusual event. After hearing about the races from his partner, Brennen Young knew he had to make the trip from Ottawa. It was happy happenstance that he was also chosen. It was even happier for him that he won first place in his category. Eight-year old Owen Falhaber was also chosen to race and was very excited to participate. His mother Julie volunteered to help him paddle the 879 lb pumpkin. Together they came in third place. The celebrity category was composed of MyFM’s Jamie Cybulski, Pembroke Lumber Kings player Cale List and Star 96’s Ashley Thomson. “It’s just important for the kids to know that if you really focus on it and dream anything can happen,” said Cybulski, dispersing advice to the large crowd. But it wasn’t all fun and games for the competitor. “It’s hard work,” he added. “It is probably the hardest that I’ve ever worked and I’m not flexible. So once I jammed in there, things started going numb.” Cybulski came in first followed by List and Thomson. We also carry: (Top left photo) It can be dangerous to race without a helmet. That is why Pembroke Lumber Kings player Cale List was gifted a pumpkin helmet, which matched his ride.

(Submitted photo) Petawawa Post, October 9, 2014, Page 15 OFSC brings back $180 Seasonal Snowmobile Permit BARRIE – This season, snowmobilers can catch a big savings break by purchasing 2015 Seasonal Snowmobile Trail Permits in October. After a 21 per cent permit sales spike last winter, the not-for-profit Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is selling Seasonal Permits again for a special pre-season fee of $180 when purchased online at www.ofsc.on.ca on or before November 1, 2014. “The $180-Nov 1 option we introduced last winter represents a 30 per cent saving off the regular Seasonal Permit fee of $260 and Ontario snowmobilers responded by purchasing many more permits, ” said OFSC President Remi Sauve. “A year over year sales increase of 21 per cent is phenomenal in any business, and that, plus a very snowy winter has generated a considerable momentum for snowmobiling heading into 2015.” The $180 Seasonal Permit spearheads the success of a new business model for trail operations by the OFSC that debuted last winter. Known as “A Framework For Change”, the new plan is a comprehensive approach, including more permit types with varied fees, allocating more money where it snows each winter, and promoting more efficient trail operations across the province. “We think it’s important to keep OFSC snowmobiling as accessible as possible for Ontario families as well as for visitors from outside the province. That’s why the OFSC is very pleased with the success of A Framework For Change and a survey response from this past spring showing that 95.8 per cent of snowmobilers believe that Ontario snowmobiling is enjoyable, very enjoyable or extremely enjoyable,” said OFSC Executive Director Paul Shaughnessy. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is a volunteer led not-for-profit association providing a wide range of quality programs and services to, and on behalf of, its member organizations.

The 2014 Defence Ethics Survey, now on its fifth iteration and sponsored by the Defence Ethics Programme, was released in September. The anonymous, voluntary survey will collect input from a random sample of DND and CAF personnel, including reserves. Those chosen to participate have been notified. Why is this survey important? Ethics is a topic of vital importance in the CAF and in DND. As such, the survey is a critical tool that, based on respondent feedback, will guide the development of ethics initiatives and training programs. In addition, results will assist senior leaders in creating conditions aimed at fostering ethical attitudes and behaviour. Survey results will also contribute to international research collaborations, allowing DND to obtain even more insights from the results, while once more bringing visibility to Defence on the world stage in this research field. What’s new for this year’s survey? This year’s survey will measure per- ceptions of organizational conditions that promote ethical behaviour with questions such as, “Does your immediate supervisor set a good example in terms of ethical behaviour?”. The survey will also measure ethical risk – the likelihood of Defence personnel acting contrary to one or more of the Defence standards or values. And last but certainly not least, the survey aims to be the most user-friendly ever. It will be possible to submit it from any computer with internet access (hard copy delivery will be available on request). It will also allow users to save a partiallycompleted survey if finishing it all at one time poses a challenge. Your responses matter! If you were randomly selected to complete the survey, remember that every response matters. We appreciate and value your input, and ask that you encourage your peers and subordinates to complete the survey if selected. All personnel will be hearing about the results of this important survey.

FALL DRIVING TIPS LOW BEAMS IN THE FOG When driving in fog, high beams will reflect off the fog, creating a “white wall” effect, so set your headlights to low beam. This setting aims the beam of light down toward the roadway. Also reduce your speed and watch your speedometer. Fog creates a visual illusion of slow motion when you may actually be speeding. If fog becomes really thick use your road markers to guide you and help you to stay in your lane. happening Page 18, Petawawa Post, October 9, 2014 CANCELLED Genealogy Day 2014 For Notices of Club Meetings, Bazaars, Fun Fairs, Fundraisers, and other charitable, non-profit events happening in the community.

Try papering the foyer in a textured metallic material or add a shimmering glow to the den with linear LED lights hidden within the ceiling cove. Updated Classics Hunter Douglas Pirouette window shadings are reminiscent of classically hobbled Roman shades, but feature an innovative design of soft, horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing. The vanes open and close for variable light control and reduced glare. New Alustra Pirouette shadings enhance these qualities with a luscious new fabric, Charmeuse, which has the essence of raw silk with a refined texture in eight colours. A tinted back sheer is standard for a colour-coordinated look. They can be motorized and operated with the Hunter Douglas Platinum App and integrated into home automation systems. Fashion-forward and so easy to manage. Safety and Style Hunter Douglas offers the widest variety of product operating systems that eliminate or substantially reduce access to lift cords. The designs are well-suited for homes with young children. With the LiteRise cordless lifting system simply use your fingers to raise or lower the window treatment. Even better, it’s now offered on the company’s roller shades. Gold and Brass Touches Try table lamps with brass or goldleafed bases or a wood desk with brassplated legs. Finish with the bronzed gold Charmeuse featured in the new Alustra Pirouette shadings. “Search out the new introductions in the world of interiors even if you haven’t anything specific in mind,” counsels Morse. “One small purchase could mean a stunning change in your home, and in your lifestyle.”More information is available online at www.hunterdouglas.ca. Petawawa Post, October 9, 2014, Page 21 How to protect your cottage during the winter months (NC) – Everyone loves the cottage. Well, at least in the summer they do. Most people fail to realize how much work goes into properly maintaining one, especially during the off-season when the weather is poor. Owning and maintaining an all-season cottage is very similar to maintaining a home. You need to look after it year round to protect it against aging and the weather. However, the challenge with many cottages is that owners are often not there year round. In most cases, they spend time at the cottage in the spring, summer and fall months, but seldom during the winter. “If you are not at the cottage often during the winter, consider hiring a property maintenance company to remove snow, check plumbing, and perform general maintenance,” says Wayne Ross, an insurance expert with Aviva Canada. “This will give you peace of mind knowing your property is safe and sound when you are not present.” There are two main concerns that need to be addressed during the winter months: Preventing the pipes from freezing Having your pipes freeze can be a di- 17 ISABEL STREET saster. One key issue with seasonal properties is that damage from frozen pipes may not be coverage by your insurance policy – especially if the cottage is unattended for four or more consecutive days. Some tips include: • Shut off the water supply and have the pipes and domestic water containers drained; or • Get the plumbing and heating system connected to a monitored alarm station providing 24 hour service; • Maintain an internal cottage temperature at a level so that pipes don’t freeze. Protecting the cottage from snow and ice Even if you are not planning on being at the cottage during the winter, it is still important to stay on top of snow removal. Consider hiring a company to clear the snow not only from your driveways and walkway, but also from your roof. Keeping the roof and perimeters clear of snow and ice will reduce the possibility of ice damming and other damage from unwanted strain.
