Mock disaster tests Garrison’s emergency responders
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
First responders at Garrison Petawawa rushed to
the aid of casualties from a
downed helicopter during
an emergency training exercise on April 26.
Several key Canadian
Armed Forces and civilian
partners took part in the scenario; none of the military or
civilian first responders were
aware of the exercise ahead
of time, adding to the realism of the situation.
“The surprise emergency response exercise was
intended to examine the
response time and reaction
of not only our firefighters
and military police on Garrison Petawawa but also
our Operations Personnel
who are responsible for
the coordination of activities on the Garrison in the
event of any emergency,”
said Commanding Officer
of 4th Canadian Division
Support Base (4 CDSB)
Operations Services (Ops
Svs), Lieutenant-Colonel
Rich Raymond.

“Although I directed that the Exercise take
place even I was not provided information in
advance, so this was a great experience for the
Garrison Operations (Ops) Centre.”
In the event of an emergency, the Ops
staff is responsible for activating the Ops
Centre which is responsible for coordination
of activities including Command and Control, minute to minute incident response,
maintaining situational awareness, the coordination of Information Management for
Operations higher and lower, and communications both internally and externally.
4 CDSB Ops Svs Chief Warrant Officer
(CWO) Marty Walhin was the coordinator
of the entire Exercise and ensured that only
those who needed to know were included
in the preparation. “We try to do these
types of exercises once a year to keep our
emergency responders sharp. Keeping the
exercise close hold ensures that element of
surprise that we need to heighten the realism. I think it worked well and each time
we do this we learn how we can improve.”
Responders have previously been put to
the test with a Chinook helicopter crash scenario, and in December of last year, an “active
shooter” stormed the lines at 2 Field Ambulance (2 Fd Amb). This time it was a CH-146
Griffon Helicopter that failed, crashing on top
of multiple personnel and vehicles. Though it
was all simulated, organizers made it as real
as possible. The fire from the makeshift helicopter and the carcasses of vehicles crushed
beneath it billowed thick black smoke. Simulated casualties lay scattered all over the Firefighters’ Training Area.
The Garrison Petawawa Fire Department made short work of the flames and
moved the injured to safety where waiting
Renfrew County Paramedics and military
medics began their ministrations. To follow through with the realism of the scenario
calls were made to 911 and mock patients
were transported by air and land.
Central Ambulance Communications
Centre Liaison Neil Macaskill said the Exercise was a great learning experience for
everyone and that he is always eager to be a
part of these joint exercises for the learning
opportunities they present, enabling a level
of interagency performance in real emergencies that best serves our citizens.
Military Police officers were also on scene,
maintaining order and preventing any members of the public from approaching, while
the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) had two
officers attend as observers. A helicopter from
427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron
(427 SOAS Squadron) arrived to transport the
most gravely hurt to the Pembroke Regional
Hospital. Other casualties were transported
by land ambulance. Everybody had a role to
play and they all played it in tandem.
“The PRH was very excited and thankful to be able to participate in this valuable
training opportunity,” said Pembroke Regional Hospital Emergency Department
Intensive Care Unit Manager Michelle Godsell. “The staff of the emergency department
were able to utilize their trauma skill training as part of this disaster exercise in collaboration with those from Garrison Petawawa
and Renfrew County’s Emergency Medical
Services. Being able to partner on training
exercises like this reinforces the importance
of working together to provide high quality
care for the patients in our region.”
Communications between organizations is always the most difficult aspect of
any disaster scenario, said Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel Marc Gagne after
watching the mock disaster unfold.
“The big thing that we learn when we
do these exercises is communication,” said
the Colonel. “How do we communicate,
how do we interact all together?”
He noted progress has been made, and
personnel are building on lessons learned
from previous exercises.
“We are improving all the time,” he said.

Over the next six years,
six military spouses will have
the opportunity to share in
$150,000 worth of scholarships for Willis College.
The amount was chosen
as a way to celebrate the
college’s 150th anniversary.
Giving back to the community has always been part of
its history, said Rima Aristocrat, president and CEO of
Willis College.
This generous announcement was made on April 28
at the Garrison Petawawa
Military Museums.
“With this scholarship at
a top-notch college, with a
job waiting at the end guaranteed, it is a phenomenal
opportunity,” said RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke
MP
Cheryl Gallant, who attended the announcement.
Because many military
spouses have to put their
own careers and education
on hold, Aristocrat said it is
important to shine the spotlight on them, inviting them
to take charge of their future.
“Nobody thinks of the
wives behind the spouses,
who sacrifice everything,”
she said. “... They follow (the
Six military spouses will be given scholarships to Willis College, totalling $150,000. The announcement
was made on April 28 at the Garrison Petawawa Military Museums and was attended by, from left, Garrison Petawawa Chief Warrant Officer CWO Bill Richards, Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel

soldier) everywhere to make
sure they are supported and
sometimes some of the women aren’t brought forward to
see what they can really do.
“If we support their spouses, they’ll be better equipped
to support their husbands and
the military,” she added.
A Board of Trustees, established through the partnership with the town and the
garrison as well as the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (PMFRC), will
choose the recipients. Once
this board is established, an
application process will be
created and advertised, the
details of which will be posted
on the Willis College website
at a later date.
“It is another fantastic
partnership in the community,” said PMFRC Executive
Director Claudia Beswick.
“We rely alot on our partnerships to give services and
support to our families.”
Employment and education for spouses is one of the
highest priorities for military family resource centres
across the nation, she added.
These full scholarships will
be a way for spouses to empower themselves.
“There will be opportunities that might not have
been available to them,” said
PMFRC Board of Directors
Chair Selina Robb, adding it
is a particularly great opportunity for women wanting to
enter technology fields.
Willis College was Canada’s first regulated Career
College and has locations
in Ottawa, Arnprior and
Smiths Falls. Over its 150
years of existence, more than
150,000 students have graduated in healthcare, business
and technology. The scholarships can be used to pursue
a diploma in these programs
at either of the campuses.
“If they have a dream of
wanting to pursue technology or health services but
didn’t think they could afford it, they have nothing to
lose by applying for a scholarship,” added Beswick.

New signs for Garrison Post Office
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Two new signs now decorate the Garrison Petawawa
Post Office at S-111.
The green, yellow and
blue of the billingual signs
catch the eye, drawing it to
the French horn, which has
historically represented this
unit. Though the military
post office workers no longer
wear this symbol on their berets, it has now been affixed
permanently to their walls.
Having them displayed
prominently will help di-
rect people to the post office
through the large building’s
layout.
“It lets people know that
we are here and are open daily,” said Postmaster Sergeant
Darren Burgess, whose idea
it was to have the signs made
and installed. He received the
go-ahead from his chain of
command and the signs have
now been up for a few weeks.

can be used by both civilians
and military members, as
well as a mail room.
a full-time or part-time student in any province. One
part-time or full-time student in any province can
also receive $500.
This scholarship program is intended to augment other similar programs offered to the
military community without duplicating them, and
it is supported by donations from individuals,
corporations and organizations as well as proceeds
from fundraising events by
community-based groups
The scholarships are
put in place for families of
serving members as well
as families of veterans. Eligible recipients must also be
Canadian citizens or have
permanent status as well as
having enrolled in an undergraduate program in a
publicly funded Canadian
college or university.
CFMWS employees or
their family members cannot
apply for these scholarships.
The deadline is June 30,
and applications can be completed in English or French.

CMHA’s Mental Health Week May 2-8, 2016: now GET LOUD for mental health!
TORONTO – It’s the Canadian Mental Health Association’s 65th annual Mental
Health Week! And it will be
the loudest one yet. Canadians are hearing CMHA’s call
to GET LOUD for mental
health and they are raising
their voices to end discrimination, stigma and shame.
They’re getting loud for someone at work, for someone at
home, and for themselves.
“I think of ‘getting loud’
as a giant megaphone for
mental health. Whether
you’re shouting it from the
rooftops, or talking quietly
with someone at home or at
work, getting loud means
breaking the silence that can
surround mental health issues,” said Dr Patrick Smith,
National CEO, CMHA. “We
need the conversation to get
very, very loud. The people
we love, and the people we
elect need to hear that mental health is an essential part
of health, and of health care.”
CMHA introduced Mental Health Week (MHW)
in 1951 and it has become a
Canadian tradition. MHW
offers Canadians practical
ways to maintain and improve their mental health
and support their recovery
from mental illness. It also
provides Canadians a forum
to speak up about how mental health affects them and
the people they care about.
About Mental Health Week,
Dr. Smith says: “At CMHA,
we’re proud to be the organization that started this tradition and we’re proud that
Canadians have embraced it.
“There’s no doubt that
great progress has been made
in reducing the stigma associated with mental illness,
but on the service front, there
is still so much to do,” he
added. “Our health care system must provide universal
and comprehensive access to
mental health services, just
like any other medically-necessary service. And we need
sustained funding to make
this happen.”
This year, we are paying special attention to the
mental health of older Canadians, who are affected disproportionately by mental
illness. Depression and other
forms of mental health issues
s are common mental health
problems for older adults.
This year’s MHW is generously supported by Presenting Sponsor: Dialog Design;
Major Sponsors: CEDA, The
Medicine Shoppe, Salesforce,
Home Trust; and Supporting
Sponsors: Bell Let’s Talk, Echo
Foundation, Beauty of Giving, Pearson, Tokii Wearable
Therapy, and CGI.
Website tracks how
Canadians are getting loud
Canadians are encouraged to register all the ways
they’re getting loud by visiting
mentalhealthweek.ca.
This GETLOUD website,
with its interactive map, will
track – in real time – how Canadians are getting loud from
province to province. With the
support of Canadians on social media, the hashtag #GetLoud will be trending.
Wear green loud and proud!
One of the ways Canadians are getting loud is by going green. The colour green,
formerly used to stigmatize
and label people as “insane,”
will be worn loud and proud
this Mental Health Week. In
addition to donning green
ribbons, buttons and t-shirts
(and maybe even a few green
‘hair-dos’), communities all
across the country are lighting
up buildings and landmarks in
green to signal their support.
MHW events and
activities in communities
across Canada
CMHAs, in hundreds of
communities across Canada,
are hosting MHW events
and activities. Partner organizations – and individual
Canadians, are also chiming
in to GET LOUD, and they
are sharing the GET LOUD
message far and wide.
CMHA held activities such
as seminars, open houses,
film screenings, art shows
and walks will provide Canadians with information,
resources and practical ways
to stay mentally healthy
this week. For a listing of
Mental Health Week events
and activities sponsored by
CMHAs across Canada, visit
CMHA’s MHW website.

LOUD for mental health and

Bullying hurts at any age
Submitted by Denise Rochat
Social Inclusion Project Co-ordinator
The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families
This week is Mental Health Week in Canada. Bullying is an issue that is often down
played as something that all kids do and is
just a right of passage. The sad truth is, bullying is something that hurts us all. Children,
youth and adults can be involved as the one
being bullied, the bully or the bystander.
It can occur anywhere: in the home, on the
sports field, in school and at the workplace.
The effects of bullying on mental health and
wellness can be long term.
Bullying is defined as any unwanted,
aggressive behavior repeated over time that
involves an imbalance of power. It can be
physical, emotional, or psychological and
can have tragic effects on the mental wellbeing of those involved.
Left unaddressed, bullying can lead to:
• Wanting to be left alone
• Shyness
• Shock
• Anger
• Feelings of helplessness
• Loss of confidence
• Inability to concentrate
• Stomachaches
• Headaches
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Not being able to sleep
• Sleeping too much
• Being exhausted
• Nightmares
If bullying isn’t stopped, it also hurts the bystanders, as well as the person who bullies others. Bystanders are afraid they could be the next
victim. Even if they feel badly for the person being bullied, they avoid getting involved in order
to protect themselves or because they aren’t sure
what to do.
Children who learn they can get away
with bullying behaviour may continue to do
so in adulthood. They have a higher chance
of getting involved in dating violence, sexual
harassment, workplace bullying and criminal behaviour later in life.
What can you do?
If you see a bullying situation speak out.
If you don’t feel comfortable intervening, approach the person being bullied after. Listen
and empathize to reduce shame and selfblame. Help them to understand their rights to
safety, respect and dignity.
Be aware of what you or others say that
may support bullying or discrimination directly or indirectly (ie: derogatory remarks
against a culture, religion, racial jokes, name
calling, etc.) Disconnect social media contacts who use name calling, bullying, threats
or discrimination and let them know why
you are doing it.
To prevent bullying over the long term, all
members of the community must be engaged.
Everyone can be involved in finding creative
and constructive ways of reducing bullying
and ensuring everyone in our community feels
safe, welcome and accepted.
The Inclusion Project is a community
wide initiative that focuses on bullying prevention and community inclusion. Join our
mailing list to stay up-to-date on our activities, share your ideas or volunteer by contacting Project Coordinator, Denise Rochat,

Army’s Sentinels roll out across 2 CMBG and 4 CDSB
By Capt. Wayne Sollows
Padre, 1RCR
Sentinel Definition: “A
soldier or guard whose job
is to stand and keep watch”;
from Latin, sentire, “to perceive.” Hence the title of a
program which originated
in 2nd Canadian Division in
2007.
With the endorsement of
Lt-Gen. Hainse, Commander
of the Canadian Army, in
December 2015, the program
was rolled out across the
Army as of January 2016.
Sentinels are a group of nonprofessionals of all ranks
who are trained, supervised
and who, through their informed presence within their
unit, are important factors
in the prevention, detection
and support of comrades in
distress.
In March and April, each
unit has been engaged in
introducing this program to
its soldiers and generating
an interest in having members apply to serve. We’re
pleased to report we have
received an enthusiastic response at all levels!
A three hour training session has been developed and
is presented to groups of 12
to 20. The format is participative and the topics revolve
around the acronym OCTS
– Observe, Confirm, Take
action and Seek resources.
To that end, those who have
agreed to be Sentinels reinforce skills that they may
already possess - gained
through life experience,
leadership courses or other
courses offered through PSP
Health Promotion.
Through the training,
candidates are reminded
or develop an awareness of
how we’re impacted by our
perceptions, prejudices and
preconceived notions that
influence how we view the
people around us.
Candidates are encouraged to a heightened awareness of those with whom
they work and play – Observing moods, emotions,
behaviours and listening to
conversations; being a Sentinel is about communication and when one may see
someone struggling, they are
then able to Confirm whether that someone is in need
of assistance. The fact that
the Sentinel shares the same
workspace and is familiar to
those around them, allows
for the person in distress to
open up more readily and
feel comfortable doing so.
Once a need is determined, the Sentinel can encourage and help the individual Take action – to give
them a sense of control and
remind them they’re not
alone in their struggle; indeed, remind them that oth-
ers have dealt with similar issues and found resources to
clear the hurdle they’re facing. To Seek help – the final
step. The Sentinel is a ready
reference for resources on
the Garrison or in the community to resolve their issue,
be it short or long term.
As a basic training is
completed and follow up is
done, lessons will be learned
that can then be shared in
improving a good program,
to make it better for successive participants. In doing
so, the Sentinels will make
a real contribution to soldier
welfare and wellness, enabling individual and collective success.
For those interested in
becoming a Sentinel with
their unit, you should inform
your chain of command and
also see your unit chaplain
or call the Garrison Chaplain
Services’ office at 613-6875511 local 5434.

Protect yourself from fraud, scams
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
In partnership with the
Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre
(CAFC), the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in the Ottawa Valley has been hosting
workshops in Pembroke and
Petawawa for seniors in an
effort to reduce their chances
of falling victim to online
fraud or scams.
“We are trying to get
across that there is a lot of
fraud going on and a lot of
it is targeting seniors,” said
CAFC Presenter Brock Godfrey.
He told those attending
a fraud awareness presentation at the Silver Threads Seniors Club in Petawawa on
April 20 to just hang up on
strange calls, delete emails
from people you don’t know,
never click on suspicious
links, keep your information
secure and never sign up for
anything on the spot.
He recommended that
people look for red-flags like
requests for wire-transfers,
guaranteed loan approvals,
emails all in caps, with misspelled words or a strange
email address or date. Others include a sense of urgen-
cy, offers that are too good to
be true, strange requests or
threats.
He also explained why
the most common scams target senior citizens.
“The main reason is that
we grew up in an era where
we were taught to be trusting and that is the weakness
that they count on us having,” said Godfrey. “There
are other reasons as well.
I’ve very often run into the
fact that people were lonely.”
Those scams include
fraudulent calls from Microsoft claiming that your
computer is infected with a
virus. Microsoft, Apple and
Windows will never call a
client to warn them about
their computer, he said. Such
calls should be hung up on
immediately.
Another is the Extorsion Call Scam, in which the
scammer typically pretends
to be from the Canada Revenue Agency or from the
OPP. They will aggressively
attempt to scare you into
giving them money by saying you will be arrested if
you do not. Neither of these
organizations will ever give
you an initial phone call or
send you an email, nor will
they demand money is paid
immediately, especially not
through iTunes cards or over
the Internet. According to
Godfrey, you must hang up
the phone. They may call
again and again to scare you.
Just keep hanging up. He
suggested that you contact
the police’s non-emergency
line if you are genuinely
frightened or harassed.
“We are easily getting
five to six calls a day because
of this,” said OPP Constable
Beth Ethier. “Most people
are just hanging up, but
some people aren’t.”
The Phishing Scam is
typically done over the Internet. The scammer will send
an email to the potential victim pretending to be a legitimate organization. They will
claim the victim needs to log
in by clicking on the link provided, which will give the
scammers all of your banking information. Legitimate
organizations will always
use your full name and will
never send you an email asking you to log in your details.
They know your details. If
you are unsure whether the
email is real or not, delete it
and contact the organization
using their official website in
a new browser. Do not click
or copy paste any of the links
provided, said Godfrey.
The Prize or Lottery
Scam pretends that you
have won a large prize, and
requires you to cash the
cheque they provide and
then ask you to wire back
the money. This cheque is
fraudulent and will bounce
after 90 days. You will then
be on the hook for paying
the banking fees as well as
having lost that money. Delete the email, hang up the
phone or destroy the letter,
said Godfrey.
The Nigerian Prince
Scam is typically done in an
email, in which the scammer
claims to be a person in need.
They promise many riches as
long as you wire them money or give them your banking information.
The Grandparent Scam is
very common in the area. An
elderly person will receive
a phone call from someone
pretending to be a relative,
usually a grandchild. They
will use information collected from social media to
play the part correctly and
convince the victim to send
money to bail them out of jail
or to pay a hospital bill.
The Romance Scam is the
most insidious of them all,
said Godfrey. The scammer

to Pembroke and Petawawa on April 20 to teach seniors how to protect
themselves from scams. (Photo by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
will pretend to be a suitor,
charm their victim and make
them fall in love. As time
goes on and the victim becomes more enraptured, the
scammer will begin to ask
for money for things like
passports, plane tickets, rent
and so on. Most victims completely ignore their family
members and friends urging
them to reconsider, further
isolating the victim. Once all
the savings are gone, the victim is left destitute, ashamed
and heartbroken.
According to Godfrey,
identity theft is also a huge
problem, and can target
anybody at any age. These
criminals have various ways
of collecting information on
their victims such as riffling
through their trash, coldcalling them, stealing wallets,
hacking computers, collecting information through false
premises and so on. Though
any money stolen is not the legally victim’s responsibility, it
can take countless years to get
their credit back on par, said
Godfrey.
If you feel that you have
been a victim of fraud, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud
Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
Then contact the police, your
financial institution as well
as your credit card provider.

Michael McDonnell, Cpl Hugh Fields, Cpl
Bob Knight, Cpl Dennis Clements, Cpl Jim
Misener and Cpl Bruce Chiswell will once
again be remembered at a special service at

The tragic nighttime parachute drop on

history. A service held each year overlooking the stretch of river where the incident
occurred honours their sacrifice, and keeps
the memory of the fallen alive.
The annual service will begin at 11 a.m. at
the Wegner Point Memorial Cairn, on which
the names of the fallen are inscribed. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Jump survivors and several adult chil-
dren of the fallen are expected to be in attendance, as well as local dignitaries, members
of both the Royal Canadian Legion Branch
517 Petawawa and Branch 72 Pembroke, and
serving personnel at Garrison Petawawa including representatives from The Royal Canadian Regiment.
The route to Wegner Point, located
behind the 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron Heliport off Passchendaele
Road, will be well marked. Visitors are
asked to arrive no later than 10:45 a.m. A
small reception will follow at the Petawawa Legion.
For more information about the ceremonies, contact Dennis Stow at 613-732-4477,

Health and Wellness Challenge begins
Early on May 2, the CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) Health and Wellness Challenge – Make Your
Choices Count launched with a group yoga session at the Dundonald Hall Field House. The 4th annual nation-wide challenge runs from May 1 to 31 and promotes making healthy choices. It highlights
the CAF Health and Physical Strategy, which points out that a healthy lifestyle is one of the key
components to maximizing operational strength. Over 100 military members have registered for the
challenge. These participants have access to a checklist of pre-selected activities that encourages them
to consciously make healthy decisions on a daily basis. Every healthy choice they make allows them to
make a checkmark, which qualifies them for a local draw. (Above) Personnel Support Programs (PSP)

Leave the phone alone while driving
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Eliminating texting while
driving is the end goal of the
Town of Petawawa’s newly
launched Distracted Driving
Campaign.
Though many habits and
behaviours fall under the
umbrella of distracted driving, using a cellphone on the
road has been cited as the
most dangerous. Sending a
single text is the equivalent
to drinking four beers or
driving blind for five seconds.
“Distracted driving has
become a deadly epidemic
on Canadian and America’s
roadways,” said Petawawa
Police Services Board (PSSB)
Chair Councillor Treena Lemay.
The initiative is spearheaded by the PSSB with the
help of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Success for the OPP
would mean that no tickets
are distributed during the
campaign. In fact, a sign
that the campaign has failed
would be officers coming
back with handfuls of tickets, confirmed Acting Inspector Mark Wolfe, Com-
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) East Region Commander Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond,
Commander of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment Acting Inspector Mark Wolfe and Petawawa
Mayor Bob Sweet prepare to sign the pledge, promising never to drive distracted. (Photo by Patricia
Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
mander of the Upper Ottawa
Valley OPP detachment.
That doesn’t mean that
police won’t be happy to
write them if need be.
“I’ll write the tickets,”
said Wolfe. “But I’m hoping
with all the lead in through
the media, our signs, our
public information, my officers just can’t find anybody
doing it.”
The campaign will last
about 11 days, with a week
of proactive enforcement

be tasked to watch the roads.
The campaign was officially launched at the Petawawa Showcase, but enforcement and education
has occurred beforehand in a
more casual manner.
“We do distracted driv-
Petawawa Post, May 5, 2016, Page 13
ing enforcement all yearround,” Wolfe pointed out.
“... Our folks do it every day,
all night, all the time.”
The focus is on stopping
people who text and drive,
but any distracted driving
can result in enforcement.
The act of giving tickets
isn’t the focus of this campaign. It is about informing
the public that the slightest
distraction can have terrible
repercussions.
The hope is that they will
help change the attitudes
people have about driving
while distracted.
“Now we are seeing an
increase in collisions caused
by distracted driving,” said
OPP East Region Commander
Chief Superintendent Daniel
Redmond. “There is still impaired driving and other aggressive driving that do cause
collisions, but we’ve seen an
increase in distracted driving
(collisions) vis-à-vis text messaging.”
Statistics have shown
that “driver distraction is estimated to be a contributing
factor in eight out of every
10 police-reported crashes,”
confirmed Lemay.
“Some of the numbers
can get pretty scary,” she
added.
At any moment during
the day in North America,
about 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or electronic
devices while driving.
Driving distracted also
creates a crash risk about
23 times greater than if the
driver’s focus was on the
road.
The PSSB has created a
three-pronged approach to
dealing with the issue within the town’s boundaries. It
will focus on education, enforcement and partnerships.
Awareness campaigns will
help educate motorists about
the dangers while Community Officers will canvas
schools.
A pledge has been created and people will be invited to sign, promising not
to take part in these dangerous behaviours, and promotional material has been
created to give out to drivers. To help target the issue,
five signs reminding drivers
to put away their cellphones
have been also installed on
Petawawa Boulevard.
This will hopefully help
change the attitude in the
area about texting behind
the wheel, noted Wolfe
“It is very serious,” he
said. “Driving is one of the
most serious things that we
do.”

Ball hockey gets Senators treatment
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Ottawa Senators mascot
Spartacat was in Petawawa
April 22 to invite local youth
to play ball hockey as part of
Street Senturions Enjeu.
The NHL (National Hockey League) Street program
provides free equipment and
instructional resources to
community centres in Ottawa
and nearby towns.
“It’s all about the ease of
getting kids involved in the
game and it is really something that is coming right
from the NHL down,” said
Ottawa Senators Minor Hockey Manager Scott Lawryk. He
added both the NHL and the
Ottawa Senators are invested
in introducing more kids to
the sport of hockey in any of
its forms. To help accomplish
this, he and his team travel
all over the area and as far as
Kingston to help young people get active in the game.
With a truck full of goodies and equipment, they made
a stop in Petawawa at the request of Richard Tatasciore,
PSP Recreation Program Supervisor for Youth and Sports.
“I’m trying to launch a
ball-hockey type of atmosphere for ... the next two
months,” said Tatasciore,
adding ball hockey is played
every Friday night.
Just like Tatasciore, Lawryk is in the business of grow-
ing the game of hockey by getting kids involved at the street
level, showing them they can
still have fun without the ice.
Though the rain prevented
the players from spending the
whole day outside, they still
got to play.
“We support kids getting
active and out from playing
video games and enjoying
our national pastime,” said
Lawryk.
Ball hockey is just as
traditionally Canadian as
ice hockey, confirmed Tatasciore. Even when the snow
is gone, kids can still play on
outdoor rinks, gymnasium
floors and empty streets.
According to Tatasciore,

Centre was the ideal location
for the late April event.
There is a rink on the property and the gym was large
enough to host the different
activities, including an inflatable slap shot cage with radar.
“I’m trying to showcase
that our (garrison) has different facilities and this one
is underused and undertapped,” said Tatasciore.
The CANEX Expressmart
also held a barbecue for participants, and cheerleaders
put on displays during the
games to encourage players.
(Top photo) Because
of the rain most of the
day was spent inside,
but that didn’t stop the
kids from having fun.
(Above) Excited cheers
greeted Spartacat, the
Ottawa Senators mascot,
on April 22. Everybody
wanted to be as close as
possible to their hero.

Through the looking glass at SPCA’s Mad Hatter Tea Party
The Renfrew County Branch of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Ontario SPCA) fell down the rabbit hole, hosting its first Mad Hatter Tea Party. While the event raised
$2,000, the tea party also united several community partners and raised awareness of the services in the
area. Artisans, artists and vendors
sold their goods during the event
and live entertainment, a silent auction, a children’s art show as well as
a fashion show were also part of the
festivities. (Far left) Magician David Johnson wandered the hall with

artificial light? Is the room
north or south facing? Will
the time of day affect the
way the colour appears?
Colours change under
different lighting conditions, so here, Benjamin
Moore’s colour and design expert, Sharon Grech,
shares her tips on how to
create harmony with light
and colour:
Consider the source:
There are three primary
sources of light: direct
sunlight, indirect sunlight
and artificial light. While
natural light is the most
“true” light with balanced
warmth and cool undertones, not all spaces have
floor to ceiling windows.
Colours can change under
various lighting condi-
tions, can be affected by
the direction your room
is facing, and can appear
differently depending on
where you live.
“If your room faces
north, the light tends to be
cool,” Grech explains. “I
recommend counter balancing with a warmer wall
colour like Muslin CC-110
or Guilford Green HC-116.
“If your space faces south,
the light will likely be
warm and intense around
noon. A popular mid-tone
such as Thunder AF-685
will look fresh throughout
the day and rich in the evening.” When it comes to
artificial light, each type
of lighting, whether LED,
fluorescent, halogen, or incandescent, can impact the
way a colour is perceived.
Decorating with various
types of lighting is a good
way to create a balanced
atmosphere.
Test drive: Be sure to
test out the colour before
you commit. Avoid costly
mistakes by viewing your
colour options at home
with a paint chip or paint
sample. Using a bristle or
sponge brush, apply two
coats of your colour sample on the wall and allow
it to dry for two hours for
a true representation of the
colour. Ask yourself what
time of day you’ll likely be
spending the most time in
the space, and make your
colour selection at that
time of the day.
Select a sheen: The fin-
ish you choose can play a
major role in adding depth
and texture to your space.
It can determine how vivid
details appear and how
easy the surface will be to
clean. “High gloss will create a glare, an element to
consider if you are painting outdoors or in a space
with intense lighting. For
a clean and crisp design,
contrast gloss trim with a
matte finish on the walls,”
explains Grech. For best
results, she recommends
a high-quality latex paint
like Aura that is available
in a variety of finishes and
features exclusive colour
lock technology.

Know the roles of both deposit and down payment when buying a home
(NC) They both start with the letter
‘d’, and they both require a large sum
of money to secure the purchase of a
home. However, a ‘deposit’ and ‘down
payment’ are very different.
“A lot of my first-time home buying
clients ask me what the difference between a deposit and down payment is,”
says Ray Ferris, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA).
“Simply put: a deposit is associated
with your offer to purchase a home,
while the down payment is associated
with your mortgage. The deposit will
go toward the down payment.”
Here is more information to help you
decide how much to contribute to each:
Deposit – When you submit an offer,
normally you are requested to include a
deposit to demonstrate a serious intent
to buy the property. This deposit will
usually be in the form of a cheque, payable to the listing broker, who will place
it in a trust account until the deal is
completed or terminated. Your deposit
provides the seller with some assurance
that you will go through with the sale
when the day of completion arrives.
When an agreement is reached and
the transaction is completed, the deposit will be credited in full towards the
purchase price. There is no standard
amount for a deposit, but the size of it
says something about how serious you
are about buying. Your Realtor can help
you figure out the right amount to offer.
Down payment – This is the money
that you pay at the time of purchase
toward the price of your home. Your
mortgage loan covers the rest.
How much you contribute as down
payment depends upon your specific
financial situation. The more you put
down, the lower your monthly payments will be. But before you contribute every penny you have to the down
payment, set aside a cash reserve for
other costs, including legal fees, land
transfer taxes, closing costs, moving expenses, and any improvements or renovations you plan to make in your new
home shortly after you move in.

First Steps Toward Financing Your Next Vehicle
CELEBRATING
YEARS
Protect Maintain Save
613-732-7373 OR 613-732-8805
When purchasing a new
car, many buyers decide
to finance rather than
buying the car outright.
Financing allows drivers
the opportunity to drive
a new car after making an initial down payment and then making
monthly payments until
the loan has been paid in
full.
Without the option to
finance, many drivers
may not be able to afford a brand new car or
even a preowned car
with relatively few miles
that’s more reliable than
an older used car with a
considerable amount of
miles. But before prospective buyers visit the
financing departments of
any dealerships, it’s best
to first take some steps
to ensure they get the
best financing deal possible.
• Address your credit
score. Your credit score
will go a long way toward determining both
your eligibility to finance a car as well as the

interest rate on the loan
should you be approved.
Get a copy of your credit
report from a credit reporting agency and scour
it to determine if there
are any discrepancies or
blemishes that need to be
addressed. If your credit
score is low, try to delay
buying a new car until
you can take steps to improve your score. Such
steps may include paying down existing debt,
establishing a history of
paying on time and making certain that any inaccuracies are removed.
• Determine how much
you can afford. It might
be your dream to tool
around town in an imported sports car, but if
you need to finance your
next car, chances are the
high-end imports or luxury automobiles are more
than you can afford. The
greater the down payment
you make, the less your
monthly payment will
be. So if you have a substantial amount of money
in your savings, you may
want to put more down at
signing so your budget is
more flexible month-tomonth. Calculate the cost
of all of your monthly expenses to determine how
much you can afford to
pay for a car each month.
