This Polish Armed Forces joint exercise ran from Sept. 24, 2014 to Oct. 3, 2014. Almost 12,500 personnel, including 750 soldiers from NATO Allied countries (Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Great Britain, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands and the United States) participated in the exercise held throughout Poland’s training areas. Canadian soldiers worked with Polish airmobile forces to practice helicopter insertion drills using the Polish MI-8 helicopter. “This was an excellent opportunity to work with our Polish partners and learn from each other;” said Major Piers Pappin, the Operation REASSURANCE Land Task Force Commander. “The Polish and the Canadian forces have benefited from a number of joint training exercises over the last few years. This has helped improve our soldier’s skills and our forces interoperability.” As part of Exercise ANAKONDA, 7 Platoon, Oscar Company, joined Chosen Company from the US Army’s 1-503, 173 (US) Airborne Brigade Combat Team, normally stationed in Italy, to seize bridges in advance of a larger multina- tional force. “I am very pleased with the way 7 Platoon came together and completed the mission,” said Captain Eric Morrow, 7 Platoon’s Commander. “We were ready and eager to show our capabilities as light infantry to our allies, and we successfully did just that.” For many in the platoon, it was their first opportunity to work with foreign militaries in an operational context. “I would definitely enjoy working with them again,” said Corporal Eric Demers. “It was easy to work with them, since our tactics are similar.” Toward the end of the mission, Canadian soldiers and their American and Polish counterparts were seen exchanging badges in a show of multinational camaraderie. Operation REASSURANCE refers to the military activities undertaken by the Canadian Armed Forces to support NATO assurance measures through the provi- sion of military capabilities for training, exercises, demonstrations and assigned NATO tasks. The Canadian Armed Forces’ response in support of NATO’s request promotes security and stability in Central and Eastern Europe, and demonstrates Canada’s steadfast commitment to allies in the region. Members of Oscar Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment conducted training with a Polish MI-8 helicopter during Exercise ANAKONDA in Eastern Europe on Sept. 26, 2014.

Every year, tens of thousands of Canadians take action against shoreline litter by participating in the annual cleanup, one of the largest environmental events in Canada and the third largest cleanup in the world. (Post photo by Bruce Peever) By Bruce Peever Petawawa Post The beach areas at Black Bear, Kiska and around Jubilee Lodge are now much cleaner due to the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. More than 40 members of the Canadian Armed Forces stationed at Garrison Petawawa took part in the Oct. 8 cleanup. Garrison Petawawa Assistant Environmental Officer Aubrie Carruthers noted this is the fourth year of removing shoreline litter along the Ottawa River. Garrison Petawawa Environmental Officer Michelle Perry said the cleanup serves two purposes. “There is still a lot of garbage and we have a lot of shoreline to look after. While we are doing this we are also helping Personal Support Programs (PSP) as their staff are not having to do this on their time,” Perry stated. After instructing participants, Carruthers gave out protective gloves, clear garbage bags and blue recycling bags. Separate groups were sent to clean up Kiska Beach and Jubilee Lodge. At the end of the day data on the amounts collected were sent to the International Coastal Cleanup, a global program managed by the Ocean Conservatory. According to organizers, shoreline litter is one of the most widespread pollution problems endangering our waters, but it is completely preventable. Shoreline litter can leach harmful chemicals into the water, be accidentally eaten by wildlife, injure fellow humans, or entangle aquatic animals and birds.

At midnight on Oct. 4, the school topped 19,929 adoptions and 645 donated books and were officially declared the winners on Oct. 9. Before voting closed, the school had been in a close race against Galloway Road Public School in Scarborough, ON. Both schools’ donations and adoptions climbed parallel to each other. When one school squeaked out in front, the other managed to overtake. Even during the last day, votes for both schools were neck in neck with just a 700 or so vote advance for Herman Street School. Teacher Jen Young said this incredibly close margin is due to the school’s parents as well as the community’s unwavering help. Throughout the contest, they have been determined to see Herman Street win. Even other schools in Renfrew County turned out to help. “We’ve just been so thankful for the help of the community,” said Young. “I’m sure our friends (were) happy for it to end because we won’t harrass them anymore,” she added with a laugh. On the last day of voting, the school held a Bake and Craft Sale at the Coles Without the help of the students, their parents and the community as a whole, the Herman Street Elementary School could have never gotten so many votes.

Young first brought up the idea of having the school adopted by Coles in the hopes of bringing in little bit more money for the school’s library. When the contest was announced, she never dreamed they would go so far. “We didn’t think we could do it,” said Young. “Because we are such a small community compared to Toronto, but once we got our parents involved and the community involved it just snowballed from there.” SISIP MONEY MANAGEMENT COURSE SISIP will be delivering a general financial course to military members and their spouses in order to assist them in managing their personal finances and prevent financial difficulty. This course is designed to assist in learning new money management skills and/or enhancing existing skills. This course will be delivered on 6 November 2014 and on 13 November from 0900 – 1500hrs. It is offered at no cost and location will be the 2 RCHA Theatre (P115). Spouses are welcome to attend. Please note that childcare will not be provided. Interested members and/or spouses can contact the SISIP (Petawawa) Office at 613-687-0025 and Ms Lynn Belley, the SISIP Petawawa Administrative Assistant, will be taking registrations. It would be appreciated if interested members and/or spouses register prior to the course dates. With just 248 students, Herman Street may be small in size, but it is huge in spirit, Young added. “We are third out of Canada so that tells you about our community,” she said. “People really care about literature.” Before the win, the school’s library had a budget of $900, mostly composed of donated books and money collected from Scholastic Book Fairs. Many of the current books are outdated or damaged. This would have changed regardless of the contest’s outcome as they managed to bring in an additional $9,400. These funds were entirely raised through community involvement including Coles’s adoption, the bake sale, online adoptions, fundraisers and other miscellaneous donations. “We can’t even wrap our heads around it,” said Young. “More would just be an added bonus.” Principal Veletia Richards may be ecstatic to see her school top the chart, but she is even more awed by the outpouring of community spirit. “The students, the parents, the staff, the community, the extended community … in a word? Just amazing,” said Richards. “(They are) outstanding in their support. They are go-getting and just don’t stop.” Buying new books with the funds is a given, but Richards and Young hope to redesign the library somewhat by opening it up and adding shelves to make it a more comfortable place to spend time in. They also plan on extending their collection of French books. “We are extremely grateful and are very proud of our supporters,” said Richards. “We could not have done this without you.” ELECT Bryon MORRIS TRUSTEE - RCDSB (Petawawa) 15 Years Trustee Experience Petawawa Post, October 16, 2014, Page 5 HYUNDAI PEMBROKE 613-735-5636 1945 Petawawa Blvd., Pembroke [email protected] Page 6, Petawawa Post, October 16, 2014 Wager lands teachers on roof, nets $1,300 for Terry Fox Foundation By Patricia Leboeuf Petawawa Post When one makes a bet, one must be prepared to face the consequences, even if those consequences mean sleeping on top of Herman Street Public School. Teachers Mike Popke and Kerr Childerhose found out the hard way after they made a wager with the school’s students. If all 248 of them raised $5 each, totaling $1,250, for the Terry Fox Foundation, both would brave the elements and sleep outside on the roof. The kids raised $1,300. So the teachers found themselves camping on high on Oct. 3, trying to while away the 12 hours they had to spend up there. The rain caught them a few times, but despite this, it wasn’t all that bad. “Let’s just say we weren’t roughing it,” said Popke. “We had a tent, we had some lawn chairs and a projector with a movie screen. It was quite fun.” Some of the teachers and students even took pity on them and brought up warm beverages and treats. Popke and Childerhose were particularly touched when their students brought up a special homemade book, containing humorous versions of their unique sleepover. The student’s desire to win the bet wasn’t the only driving force for raising so much money. It was also the cause. “I don’t know if they really wanted to see us on the roof or if they really want- ed to see a cure for cancer,” said Popke. “Either way, it was a win-win for everybody.” Popke said he believes that the student’s élan for fundraising just proves an altruistic community spirit is alive and well at Herman Street and that attitude is one of the things that makes the school shine. “Whether it is in the school, or the whole community with parents and everybody, they help with the goals that the school sets,” said Popke. “Community is important.” Principal Veletia Richards is proud of her students for supporting such a worthy cause. She’s also proud that her teachers followed through with the wager instead of trying to back out. “They are such good sports,” she said. “It’s all in the spirit of the school and raising funds for Terry Fox.” Though the teachers ended up sleeping outside, it wasn’t a given. By Friday morning, the fundraising goal had still not been reached. The teachers were so sure that they wouldn’t have to sacrifice the comfort of a warm bed that they hadn’t packed. But the generous students and their families prevailed, managing not only to meet the goal, but also to surpass it. “We are such a small school, just 248 students, and it is outstanding to see all the community support that we have,” added Richards.

PETAWAWA- Each year, the Town of Petawawa Fire Department responds to fires that are caused by improper disposal of hot ashes from fireplaces, wood stoves or pellet stoves. The fact is that ashes from fires can remain hot enough to start a fire for many days after you think the fire is out. The exact amount of time for complete extinguishment and cooling depends on many factors such as how hot the fire was, what was burning, how much unburned fuel remains, etc. To be safe, simply treat all ashes as hot, even when you think they had time enough to cool. To properly dispose of ashes we recommend the following: • If possible, allow ashes to cool in the area where you had the fire for several days. These devices are designed to contain their heat safely. • When it is time to dispose of the ashes, transfer them to a metal container and wet them down. • Keep the metal container outside your home and away from any combustibles until the refuse is hauled away. • DO NOT place any other combustibles in the metal container. • DO NOT use a combustible container. More Fireplace Safety Tips • Have your chimney inspected annually, and cleaned as necessary, by a professional chimney sweep to ensure it is clear of obstructions and creosote. • Repair any cracks in your chimney and fireplace. • Use fireplace screens to keep sparks and fire debris inside the fireplace. • Do not use an accelerant to start a fire. • Ensure the fire is completely out before going to bed or leaving the house. • Make sure the area around the fireplace is clear of all combustibles (1 m or 3 feet away is a good rule). • Keep all children and pets a safe distance from fireplaces. • Install both smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. • Keep a fire extinguisher on hand. • Observe all safety precautions when using outdoor fireplaces they can be just as dangerous as indoor units.

For the second year, Father Tim Moyle led a small, solemn group with pet related prayers and poems. “It’s fun to prepare for (the ceremony),” he said. “It gives me a chance to look over a whole bunch of animal prayers and I look back at old pictures of my old pets - I have lots of fond memories.” The ceremony was held on Oct. 4, which coincided with the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. “It’s the traditional day for blessing of pets,” said Father Moyle. As a pet owner himself, he knows the sting of losing a beloved pet, but also the pleasure that comes from their compan- ionship. “They are very much part of our lives,” he said. “They are part of our family. They have a special part of our heart.” He said he believes that God pours His blessings on pets. “I always say that dog and God are the same word spelt backwards and that in the faithfulness of the dog, in the trust that he puts in me as his owner, is very much qualities that we should have with God,” said Father Moyle. The reaction to his ceremony has been overwhelmingly positive. “For people who are coming to remember a pet, it allows them to experience a sense of continuity,” said Father Moyle. “For those who have living pets, like I do, it gives a chance to show them off, make new friends and receive the gift of God’s blessing.” Dr. Richard Hobart wanted to host this ceremony to help comfort those who have lost a fur- ry family member. Through his work at the hospital, he’s seen the loss and the grief that accompanies that loss. “People feel a strong connection to their pets,” he said. “When they die, they don’t just forget about them. There is a little void, a little hurt. “These ceremonies help people get over their long-term grief,” he added. It can help bridge the spiritual gap, filling up the emotional hole that some pet owners may feel, he added. “For some people, it is a very important part of the process,” said Dr. Hobart. For many people, a pet is a family member and the pain of losing an animal can cut deep. To help heal those wounds, the Pembroke Animal Hospital hosted a Service Of Remembrance and Pet Blessing on Oct. 4 for those who have lost pets. (Right) Father Tim Moyle blesses a pet in attendance.

Recently, Ms Catherine Hewitt’s grade 1 class decided to support the troops by dressing up in army outfits and creating military theme posters for their class photo. The students were very excited to be a part of this experience and they hope our Canadian troops return home safety.

The Regiment conducted a dismounted Troop level competition to confirm the soldiering and tactical skills of its fighting troops; during the week, each Squadron (Sqn) rotated through the 48-hour competition that was designed to push Dragoons to their mental and physical limits while fostering esprit-de-corps. Day one started with an early arrival to the first stand of the competition, the Army fitness test, which consisted of a 5km run, push-ups, situps and pull-ups. Cpl Hatfield and Cpl LabergeBedard posted excellent times, helping A Sqn start off on the right foot. Immediately after the test, troops moved back to Sqn lines for a much needed shower and some breakfast before moving on to the next task, the Load Bearing March. The 13 km march was to be completed in less than two hours 26 min with each soldier carrying full fighting order, their personal weapon and a ruck sack. On arrival at D range, troops dropped their rucks, quickly hydrated, and prepared for the shoot. Troops zeroed their C8s, and under the Range Safety Officer, MCpl Monaghan’s, careful watch completed the application. A Sqn troops showed their proficiency with their personal weapons scoring very high on the shoot. Afterwards, troops moved to the Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) recognition and Regimental history test under the supervision of the Unit Training Officer, Capt Boire. The test confirmed soldiers’ ability to identify AFVs and recall our Regimental history. Day one concluded with troops moving into a bivouac for some welldeserved rest. Day two proved to be the more challenging day of the competition. As competitors departed for the Navigation (Nav) stand at 0600hrs, they arrived to find that there was also a first aid stand. The scenario indicated that a Coyote had crashed into a woodline and the crew were severely injured. Troops quickly extracted the crew from the vehicle, administered first aid, and moved them to safety. A helicopter landing site was established and a request to extract the casualties sent. Afterwards, troops navigated to eight Nav points over an 8km route through dense forest. Troop leaders divided their troops into smaller teams to quickly finish the stand. The CBRN stand followed with troops donning the dreaded “bunny suit”, answering 5 questions on CBRN, reacting to a gas attack, marching 4km in CBRN dress, and finally - decontaminating their equipment. It was a great refresher for the troops, and a “gut check” that turned out to be much harder than anticipated! The tactical portion of day two was run by D Sqn. Troop Leaders received orders, conducted battle procedure, and provided their back briefs to (Above) 1 Troop moves into cover to avoid enemy forces during the point recce stand. (Top right) Members of A Sqn cross the Chalk Bay as they infiltrate enemy territory. (Submitted photos) D Sqn OPIs. The troops paddled assault boats across Chalk Bay infiltrating enemy territory to conduct a point recce of their objective; and in the case for 1 Troop, this turned out to be an enemy Command and Control node. Troops moved tactically once they reached shore to ensure that they were not seen by the vigilant enemy force. After all critical information was confirmed at the objective, the troops still had to “hump” it to the release point (RP). The enemy force, operating in mounted patrols with LAV III, G wagons, ATVs ensured that the competitors’ route to the RP wasn’t an easy one. After a 3km march through challenging terrain each Troop reached the last stand; weapons assembly, HF radio assembly, and a patrol report. All three tasks were conducted simultaneously, which proved to be difficult in the dark. Upon completion, troops boarded a truck back to Sqn lines for the night. Once again, Cav Cup proved to be a difficult and demanding compe- tition that pushed Dragoons to their physical and mental limits. Each member of A Sqn was proud to have completed the competition and will continue to build upon the lessons learned. GOING ON A TOUR OR EXTENDED TRIP? Thinking About...

Tips On How To Craft A Successful Business Plan Eagle Tax Service We Care About the Tax You Pay Personal Business, Farm and Estate Taxes, Bookkeeping Service LOCATED IN THE PEMBROKE MALL 1-888-416-2500 MARIA ROBINSON - PRESIDENT A great business plan can go a long way toward transforming an idea into a successful business. The following are a few tips for would-be business owners looking to draft memorable business plans. * Don’t be too wordy. Potential investors, whether they’re venture capitalists, family members or lending institutions, don’t want to be handed a manifesto masquerading as a business plan. A good business plan is brief and gets to the point early on, spelling out why the business is worthy of an investment and how it is going to be successful. * Define what makes your business unique. Your business plan is similar to a sales pitch, one that you will need to turn your idea into a business. A successful sales pitch should define what makes your business unique. Clearly define what separates your business from others and why these differences make you and your business idea a solid investment. * Be specific as to how you will generate revenue. Good business plans clearly indicate how business owners plan to generate revenue. Simply selling products won’t be enough to convince savvy investors, who want to see a sales model summarizing how customers will be drawn to a business. * Define your market. When defining the market for your business, include its size and the specific people within that market you intend to target. FOR ALL YOUR AUTOMOTIVE NEEDS FROM THE TIRES UP!

To celebrate this milestone, the Renfrew County branch held an open house on Oct. 4. “(It) lets people know what we do in the community,” said Stencell. “We do offer First Aid, we do offer disaster services. We have (medical) home equipment that we rent out to people. “We are here to help and we can help them,” she added. The realities of the Canadian Red Cross today may be a little different than they were when the organization first opened its doors, but the mandate remains the same. “We are there when people need us,” said Stencell. “… We are there in times of disaster or distress.” The organization also teaches surivival and prevention measures including First Aid and CPR, and how to create emergency preparedness packs. “Most people don’t know what they need to survive for 72 hours without power, without water, without all these things. Red Cross can help prevent and help prepare for those (times). “We offer workshops for that sort of thing,” she added. All Red Cross branches provide disaster relief, First Aid training and water safety programs, but some branches differ slightly in what programs they offer. Locally, Red Cross volunteers knit over 1,000 mittens for the Warm Hands, Warm Hearts program. These mittens are then distributed throughout the community, guaranteeing that no child will have to suffer the harsh winter cold without some protection. The open house was also an opportunity to thank volunteers for their hard work as well as all the sponsors and community members who have helped out throughout the year. “Volunteers are what run the Red Cross,” said Stencell. “They are the heart of the Red Cross. Without them, none of these programs would succeed at all.” During the event, attendees could win prizes, enjoy a barbecue and entertainment, as well as take home information on its various services. The jewel of the day, however, was the chance to explore the new Red Cross Command Module for Disaster Management. This giant red trailer can be used for a wide range of things, but mainly it acts as a center during disasters, allowing the Red Cross to help a community in distress without further draining its resources. “We like to come as self-sufficient as we can,” said Deborah Smith, Comunity Services Advisor for Disaster Management. “So we aren’t relying on that community to provide things for us in order for us to provide services to the citizens … so not to add an extra burden on the community while they get back on their feet.” It provides a place to run outreach programs and provides shelter, radio, electricity and Wi-Fi. The Ontario Trillium Foundation funded it. It arrived a little less than a month ago and it still requires a few finishing touches such as an awning and antennas. There are only five such command modules in Ontario and it is shared between Renfrew County, Lanark County and Ottawa. “We are really excited about it,” said Smith. “It’s so rural around here in so many places and a lot of communities don’t have huge facilities for responders that would come in case of a disaster,” she added. “So it’s a really, really helpful thing to have for disaster management around here.” HUGE SAVINGS!

The Jason Blaine Charitable Fund Committee (JBCFC) has also announced it will be providing $5,000 for Mental Health First Aid training for not-for-profit organizations. This will allow up to 33 staff and volunteers to attend a 12-hour certificate course designed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Mental Health First Aid is a first responder training program providing individuals with the knowledge to support people who are experiencing a mental health crisis until professional services can respond. The decision to fund these new beneficiaries was chosen after a long discussion, weighing the needs of the community. “This is a really serious issue in the community,” Blaine said by video. “Numerous people have reached out to me by email or social media and we talked about how best we can shine a light on it, but also try to make a meaningful difference and this is a good way to start.” In 2014, Blaine raised Petawawa Centennial Family Health Centre news PETAWAWA - What’s new at Your Petawawa Centennial Family Health Centre? Fall/Winter Nutrition Sessions! The Petawawa Centennial Family Health Centre (PCFHC) provides a broad range of primary health care and health promotion services to protect, preserve, and promote the health and well-being of residents of the Town of Petawawa and area. The Dietitian plays a role in this collaborative model of health care. Judy Hill, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator, has been fulfilling this role since the fall of 2008. The largest aspect of Judy’s role at the PCFHC is patient counselling. Subjects are varied and may include weight management, heart healthy eating (low cholesterol), metabolic syndrome, diabetes or pre diabetes, chronic conditions, and nutrition through the lifecycle. Judy may also participate with the RN and the client in OTN (telemedicine) sessions with Dr. Hierlihy an Ottawa endocrinologist. Regular nutrition sessions covering a myriad of topics have been held over the last five years (at the PCFHC, in the Board Room) in the fall, winter and spring seasons. These sessions are open to the community at no charge. Topics have included: Menopause, Vitamin D, Calcium, Supplements Simplified (with S. Coulas, Pharmacist), Slow Cooker meals, Mindful Eating, and Peas, Beans and Lentils to name a few. This year’s nutrition sessions include the following: • Oct 16: 1-2:30 pm: Is That Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Celiac Disease? • Nov 27: 1-2:30 pm: And Just in Time for Christmas: Alcohol! • Dec 3: 9-11 am at the Petawawa Civic Centre lounge: Stress and Nutrition • Dec 18: 1-2:30: Christmas Desserts (taste testing) • Jan 6, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Meal Planning 101 • Jan 21, 2015: 1-4 pm: Cooking for one or two (Petawawa Civic Centre lounge) • Feb 26, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Menopause • Mar 26, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Hypertension • Apr 28, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Heathy at Every Size (HAES) • May 26, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Probiotics • June 23, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Food Allergies • Sept 29, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Healthy You For Life • Oct 27, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Slow Cooker Meals (Taste testing) • Nov 24, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Metabolic Syndrome, Diabetes, and Prediabetes & You • Dec 15, 2015: 1-2:30 pm: Vitamin D All but the two Civic Centre sessions will be held in the Board Room of the PCFHC. There may be a $5 charge for these sessions. A new and exciting partnership between Chef Bob Thompson (and Leah Costello) of Heritage Manor and the PCFHC started this summer and may be continuing into the fall months. These cooking demonstrations (followed by taste testing!) are being held in the Rotary Room of the Petawawa Public Library. Please contact Judy at 613-687-7641 and leave your name and contact information if you are interested in attending a nutrition session. The list of sessions will also be posted on the PCFHC website. $50,000 through a charity concert and golf tournament with funds going to the Boys and Girls Club of Pembroke, the Pembroke Petawawa District Community Foundation and the Algonquin College Capital Campaign. It was a great success and both the concert and the golf tournament were completely sold out. “We had such a great inaugural first year,” said Blaine. “It’s a big deal, it’s pretty fun and this year we want to do it again,” he added. He is aiming for more money and is looking to the community for continued support. “We are so very grateful to everybody and all the wonderful sponsors who supported us in our first year,” he said. “We have our work cut out for us, but we are up to the challenge,” Blaine added. “… We are early yet, but this is where we start.” He didn’t announce which celebrities will be attending his big 2015 event, but alluded that there will be a few big names. Blaine was unable to make his announcement in person on Oct. 8, but sent in a video and communicated by telephone. Though Blaine currently lives in the U.S., he hasn’t forgotten his hometown of Pembroke. “Jason has proven that he is a community person,” said JBCFC member and Algonquin College’s Manager of Community and Student Affairs Jamie Bramburger. “While he lives in Nashville, Tennessee, he understands his roots, and his roots are in the Ottawa Valley and he wants to give back.” Bramburger said he feels it is very important that people understand Blaine’s commitment to mental health. His support in getting mental health First Aid training for notfor-profit organizations License # M649527 will allow the community to begin bridging some of its gaps. “It’s really a resource we need in the community,” said Brambruger. Blaine may now be a beloved country music star, but he was a business student at Algonquin College, graduating in 2002. Since then, he has maintained ties to the school, helping fund the new campus through the concert and golf tournament. “Whether we are a benefactor or a participant in helping making it (the event) a success, we are happy to be involved,” said Karen Davies, Dean of Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley. “It’s all about the community and supporting our communities out there. “He’s doing a great job and we want to help him,” she added. “Whether its directly to the college or the community, we are happy to be a part of it.” The 2015 Jason Blaine Charity concert will be held on June 16 at the Pembroke Memorial Centre. On June 17, the Celebrity Charity Golf Classic tournament will be held at the Pembroke Shores Golf Club. Four charities will benefit from country superstar Jason Blaine’s fundraising efforts. The recipients, from left, are acting Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Pembroke Rhodina Turner, Vice-Chair of the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation Frances Lemke, Pembroke Petawawa District Community Foundation Chair Matt Bradley and Dean of Algonquin College Karen Davies.

Arnold, Public Relation Just a reminder that the address for the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club is now 16 Civic Centre Rd. Petawawa ON., K8H 3H5. On Oct. 4, 2014 the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club held their 26th Annual Awards Night and the installation of the Executive for 2014-2015 at the Petawawa Legion Branch 517. A lovely dinner was served by the Ladies Auxiliary from RCL Branch 517. Civitan Darlene Lambert, our emcee, welcomed everyone to Petawawa and our dinner. Civitan President Brian Miner led us in the creed. Civitan Donna Forget did the toast to the Queen, Canada and Civitan. Civitan Marie Arnold said the invocation and the meal was served. After the dinner, Civitan Darlene Lambert introduced each of our guest speakers: Lt. Governor 2013-2014 Civitan Trish McConnell, Lt. Governor 20142015 Civitan Bonnie Tarrant, Governor 2014-2015 Civitan Bill Lawrence, councillor James Carmody representing the Town of Petawawa, and our President Civitan Brian Miner. Each guest speaker talked about Civitan - all the good work the Civitan club in Petawawa is doing, and that our Civitan club may be small but we are a great inspiration to all Civitan clubs. The Greater Petawawa Civitan Club Executive members for 2014-2015 are the following: President Brian Miner, Vice President Darlene Lambert, Secretary Joanne Robinson, Treasurer Charles (Chuck) Arnold and Directors Donna Forget, Marie F.E. Arnold and Joan Ozon. Now just a reminder: The Greater Petawawa Civitan Club will be holding a Christmas fundraiser once again on Nov. 19, 2014 at St George’s Chapel in Petawawa. This event is to raise money for the CHEO Project Stitch program. The choirs from St Georges Chapel, Christ Lutheran Church, Petawawa Presbyterian Church and St Francis of Assisi Church will once again take part, and the event will also feature Darlene TerMarsch and Keven Nieman. Re- St Francis of Assisi Chapel is now having Mass on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15 p.m. freshments will be served by St Georges Ladies Guild. The cost is a Free Will Offering. All are welcome and you can bring the children. I will have more information for you in the upcoming weeks. We are also planning to take part in the Santa parade, so we are keeping busy. Oh by the way, if you are looking for a great club to join, come see us. The Greater Petawawa Civitan Club is helping those who need help. We are dedicated to serving those who are in need of support, and by you supporting our bingo, we can keep helping those in our community and area. I am a happy, happy Civitan. Thought for the week: Live each day as if it is a memory in the making. Laughter is the Best Medicine: “John what would you do if you could live your life over?” asked Harry. “Stay single,” said John. “Why?” asked Harry. “Well I would still have my house, my car and my money,” said John. That’s all for this week, God Bless. Civitan Marie Arnold recently made a donation on behalf of the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club of $387 to Brad Waterfall for a growth kit for his son Colton’s wheelchair. (Submitted photo) Petawawa Post, October 16, 2014, Page 19 The CRC Kingston marks International Conflict Resolution Day October 16, 2014 By Danielle Blommestyn The Conflict Resolution Centres (CRC) across the country are celebrating International Conflict Resolution Day (ICRD) with their stakeholders at their regional Bases, Garrisons and Wings. Conflict Resolution Day reminds us that while conflict is inevitable, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing; think of it as an opportunity for growth. We have a choice in how we handle our conflicts and manage our relationships. The CRC can provide you with tools, processes and resources to maintain healthy working relationships, and build strong foundations for your careers. Did you know?: The Conflict Resolution Centre (CRC) Central Region is located at CFB Kingston and offers Conflict Resolution tools to the entire Defence Team including Military, Civilian, Cadet, Ranger, and Reserve members across Ontario, less the NCR. Moreover, all of our ADR services are confidential and voluntary. By engaging in a voluntary process, you are letting the other person know that you are truly interested and invested in resolving the conflict together. One of the many benefits of ADR is that you have control over the outcome. Together with the other party, you will create a solution that is mutually beneficial. Due to this set up, ADR is designed to create win/win solutions rather than winners and losers. When both parties are invested in creating a mutually satisfactory solution, everybody wins! Finally, it is easier to resolve conflicts through early use of ADR. When you resolve your conflicts at the lowest level, less of your time is spent in con- business directory PURVIS GALLERY FRAMING flict. Since many conflicts are caused by a lack of information, misinformation and miscommunication, by addressing these issues early on, working relationships can be strengthened.

SECRETS TO GREENER WINTER DRIVING PLUG IT IN Engines experience maximum fuel use, emissions and engine wear when cold, so use a block heater with a timer to reduce warm-up time. Usually turning the block heater on for two hours prior to start-up is sufficient. The heater warms the engine coolant, oil and engine block so that all fluids will flow more easily. The engine is easier to start, warms up quicker and cold start wear is reduced.

October 19th, 1 - 3 pm Home décor rules to live by (NC) Are you looking to refresh a room, or give life to tired space? Take a look at a few creative quick tips from Vern Yip, the acclaimed interior designer, long-time HGTV star, and an ambassador for the Portuguese Cork Association. Especially for DIYers, here are Yip’s top design rules: Tie in the Old with the New - Pull a room together that shows off the things you love most. Mix modern, functional furniture with relics from travels, or beautiful antique pieces from generations past. A gallery wall is one of the easiest ways to combine old and new. Get creative with an eclectic mix of modern prints, travel pho- tos, and family mementos. Make Your Flooring Functional - A beautiful floor is one of the simplest ways to punctuate a room. Opt for materials that are both chic and comfortable, such as cork flooring. Cork floors are warm, soft on the feet and eco-friendly. Whether a kids’ playroom, where we spend a lot of time on the floor; a kitchen, where we stand for a long time; a basement and bedroom, where we may be stepping on it barefoot, cork’s natural ability to insulate against heat, cold, noise and vibration make it an ideal choice for any room in the home. What’s more, with design styles that range from wood-like planks to NEW LISTING OPEN HOUSE MLS 922439 $299,900 Cindy Sell, Broker, 613-687-1234 marble-esque tiles, plus an easy-to-install system, cork flooring meets a wide range of aesthetics and is a DIYer’s dream. Don’t Shy Away from Colour - If you’re stuck in a sea of neutrals, it’s time to take a risk with colour. Start small by replacing old pillow covers, throws and lampshades to reflect the hues and tones of the season. Or, create an accent wall with a printed wallpaper or painted design. Keep your larger items white or neutral so that you can easily mix and match seasonal colours with permanent pieces. For more tips and design inspiration, visit realcorkfloors.com.

MLS #QR21404430 - $289,000 Put your new kitchen sink in stone (NC) If eye-catching colour is turning your head in décor showrooms these days, you’ll be pleased to know that the sheer beauty of a post-modern kitchen sink can indeed be coupled with the toughest surface. A hot topic in 2014, for example, is a superstar material for sinks called,’silgranit’, which has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years. This is a rock-solid composite, made in Canada, engineered in Germany – and Toronto is one of only two silgranit production facilities in the world. “Silgranit is a patented material that combines 80 per cent natural granite stone with a premium, acrylic-resin formula to give the sink unsurpassed hardness, strength and durability,” says Edyta Drutis at Blanco Canada, an innovator in kitchen art technology. These sinks, she points out, are non-porous for exceptional hygiene and easy care. They are also scratch-, chip- and stain-resistant, and they are strong enough to withstand the heat of saucepans straight from the stove – and tough enough to let you cut food right on the surface. “If you’re looking for a beautiful kitchen feature that will never lose its brand new look and appeal, these sinks will give you a lifetime of pride,” Drutis continues. “The colours are cinder, anthracite, truffle, café, biscotti, and white, each one a non-fading, densely textured earth shade. Cinder, for example, is a velvety warm charcoal with a hint of brown. Anthracite is a beautiful black sink, dramatic but also serene. All of the colours are imbued with a mineral pearlescence to catch the light and each one is designed to complement the other décor features in your kitchen.” Trend-setting models: The two most talked about silgranit sinks this year are first, the Blanco Precis Cascade, with a revolutionary bi-level bottom, and sec- ondly, the Blanco Diamond Low Divide U 1¾, a functional double-bowl design. “The Diamond Low Divide U 1 ¾ model is one of a kind,” says Drutis. “Indeed, we say ‘raise the bar in your kitchen by lowering your divide’. The main feature of the sink is a low partition in the large, double bowl. This partition gives you added room to fit large pots, pans, and trays, making clean-up much quicker and easier. In a busy kitchen, the Diamond Low Divide functions as a regular double-bowl sink – but is able to do so much more.” The Blanco Precis Cascade is also a star performer this year, turning heads with its super-square modern bowl design, also with bi-level bottom. “The lower level is designed to soak your pots and pans, while the raised level equipped with a mesh basket can function much like a second bowl, perfect for cutlery or glassware, or for washing fruit and vegetables,” Drutis explains. “Both sinks are exceptional examples of the silgranit innovation – and you can even get the faucets colour-matched with silgranit finishes. “Coloured faucets are striking when paired with the colour of your sink,” she continues. “And yet, if you think you might miss the usual gleaming finish on this fixture, take a look at the faucets with a split finish. This gives you the silgranit colour at the base and shiny chrome on the rest. Varying faucet styles are available including models with pull-down and pullout features, dual spray function and a wide variety of designs to satisfy today’s kitchen needs.” Each faucet, like each Blanco sink, is an achievement of German engineering and sophisticated styling – and with the solid brass construction, says Drutis, they are built to last a lifetime.

The word is cute, comforting, and a bit quaint. It recalls country cottages, cats curled in front of the fire and silver-haired ladies sipping Earl Grey poured from a pot with a crocheted cover. It’s an appealing image for those anticipating the cold months ahead – until we try to create a “cozy” retreat in a modern Canadian home. “Cozy can quickly turn to dull, dated and even kitschy,” says Sally Morse, interior designer and director of creative services for Hunter Douglas, a leading window treatments manufacturer. “While we long for comfort, warmth and security, we don’t want to sacrifice style, luxury or energy efficiency.” Morse notes that Scandinavians manage to sail through the colder months and long nights, while maintaining their legendary style. With daylight at a premium during the winter months, Nordic homes rely on effective insulation, with window treatments that let in the limited daylight and help keep out the cold. It’s a time shared with friends around a crackling fire and a candlelit table. Green winter arrangements, hot drinks and hearty dishes bring warmth and intimacy to their streamlined, modern interiors. In fact, the word “cozy” has its roots in the Norwegian word “kose sig”: to make oneself comfortable. “Coziness also means intimacy, contentment and feeling fulfilled in your space,” says Morse. That space may be a modern suburban home, an urban loft, a restored Victorian or a city condo. Whatever one’s refuge, her tips will help to create a feeling of well-being, comfort and luxury, as follows: Start the Conversation. Arrange furniture in conversation areas that bring family and friends together. “Furniture pieces shouldn’t be wallflowers,” Morse points out. Attractive area rugs add intimacy to the groupings and warmth to bare floors. OPEN HOUSE $179,500 MLS 930032 Saturday, October 18th 2:00 - 3:30 pm 992 Lea St, Pembroke Pembroke St. W. to Forced Rd, left onto Lea. HOSTED BY: EVAN CUNDAL MLS 930195 Saturday, October 18th 12:00 - 2:00 pm 98 Birch St, Deep River Highway 17 to Glendale to Birch HOSTED BY: SHERRY BORDAGE OPEN HOUSE $204,900 Make Fire a Focal Point. Real or electrified, nothing is more welcoming and warm than a roaring fire. Invest in attractive fireplace accessories, stack logs of birch or pine in an attractive box or basket, decorate the mantelpiece with large, dramatic candles and a winter wreath or branches. If you don’t have a fireplace, invest in an electric one – it will pay dividends in atmosphere and energy savings. Go for the Glow. Turn off ceiling lights and spotlights and let soft light glow from table lamps. Candles and tea lights placed in groups throughout a space cast a magical glow. Consider battery-operated candles. They even flicker and are perfect for placing in a window. Window Dressings. “The right window treatments can bring warmth, ambience, texture and light, while making a very personal design statement,” says Morse. For example, new Solera Soft Shades from Hunter Douglas combine a soft, sculpted look withadded dimension and a unique cellular construction that increases energy efficiency at the window. Solera shades also come with the LiteRise cordless lifting system and have no exposed cords on the back for enhanced child safety. Colour Me Cozy. Choose deep, soothing hues: dark greens, ruby red, warm shades of brown and taupe. Burnished accessories that reflect the light – bronze, copper, brass, and gold – will add to a feeling of comfort and peace. Layers of Meaning. Layering with various textures and colours adds visual interest and a feeling of warmth. Studies suggest that decorating a room with varied textures makes the occupants feel three degrees warmer. “Be creative in layering colours and prints,” advises Morse. Try olive or mossy green, layered with a soft spa blue over it; dark gray paired with silver; deep brown layered with taupe and soft buttery hues. Accessorize with pillows, throws, quilts and blankets in subtle, coordinating prints. A Soft Touch. Soft, supple fabrics are essential to creating a cozy retreat. A velvet sofa, a faux-fur throw, a silk-covered cushion, linens, mohair and cashmere areelegant and welcoming. On the Scent. Signature fragrances for the home are a growing trend with “scent shops” offering an array of customized home fragrances. Create your own cozy scent with diffusers, sprays, scented oils, potpourri and candles. Buy these in complementary scents and “layer” them in different combinations. Start with a scent candle or diffuser in one scent and spray with another. The best scents in life are free and very cozy – cookies or bread baking, coffee brewing. The Look of a Book. We love our Kindles but a collection of well-read books add charm and individuality. Stack them under a coffee table, by an armchair or on a shelf. Get Personal. Family photos or mementoes from a vacation are other good choices. “Watercolour pictures on the wall,” says Morse, “from a Caribbean Island or Paris will remind us I’ve been there, I’ve experienced that.” More information is available at www.hunterdouglas.ca.
