Annual Renfrew County Relay for Life raises more than $100K
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
As a doctor and a familiar face at the Canadian
Cancer Society Relay for Life
in Petawawa, 2016 Honourary Cancer Survivor Lomie
Coleman never expected to
find herself on the “cold end
of the stethoscope.”
It came as an absolute
shock to find out she had
multiple myeloma, a cancer
that targets plasma cells in
bone marrow. She knew that
just 30 years ago, it would
have been a death sentence
within three years.

Forunately, it isn’t 30
years ago.
It has now been three
years since she first fought
the disease. She underwent
radiation,
chemotherapy
and a stem cell transplant,
and thanks to research
funded by the Canadian
Cancer Society, her prognosis for long-term survival is
increasingly positive.
She isn’t the only one to
have suffered, having lost
both her parents to cancer as
a child.
“In the 1960s, which
wasn’t long ago for some of
us, little could be done,” said
Coleman. “Diagnosis was
usually late, treatment was
unpleasant and often ineffective. Neither of my parents
reached six months.”
Treatment has greatly
improved since then. By the
1990s, when her stepmother
and sister were diagnosed
with breast cancer, treatments made it possible for
them to survive the disease.
Similar stories were repeated
throughout the evening, as
survivors, family members,
friends, and supporters
gathered together to take
part in the relay.
The June 3 event raised
more than $103,000 with
more still trickling in. It is in
its 17th year, and was held at
Garrison Petawawa.
According to society statistics, 131,300 Canadians
will be diagnosed with cancer this year. About 76,600
will lose their lives while 63
per cent will survive.
Though cancer is a tragic
disease, the relay is a poignant, uplifting experience;
sometimes causing tears,
but more often laughter. It
is about celebrating life, and
triumph. It is about a community coming together and
helping out their own.
“We are raising money
for people right here in our
community,” said Renfrew
County Canadian Cancer
Society fundraising specialist Jessica Khouri.
The Canadian Cancer
Society raises money for
treatment, and provides local programs to help cancer
patients live better lives.

Celebrating ‘June is Recreation Month’
On June 5, Garrison Petawawa Personnel Support Programs launched June is Recreation Month with a celebration at the Rec Plex. This year’s
event also celebrated Community Recreation’s HIGH FIVE® accreditation; HIGH FIVE® is Canada’s only quality assurance standard for
children’s recreation programs. (Above left to right) Aquatics Coordinator Erika Jensen, Manager Community Recreation Karen Donovan, Community Recreation Coordinator Felicia Arsenault, HIGH FIVE® Coordinator Emina Secerbegovic, Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel

One of the Renfrew
County Branch’s most popular programs is its Wheels of
Hope transportation service.
Volunteers bring patients
to their treatments and appointments in Ottawa. This
removes some of the stresses
and costs associated with the
disease.
The society also lobbies
for effective health care policies to help stem the disease
and raise awareness.
“They are doing a lot of
lead research projects, they
are raising funds to keep
those projects going and
hopefully find that silver
bullet,” said Emcee Kyle
Robinson.

2016 Relay for Life are Team

Wednesday, June 1 was Tim Hortons Camp Day, the one day each year when every penny from coffee sales at Tim Hortons Restaurants
is donated to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. On Camp Day, when guests buy a coffee and participate in various fundraising
activities, they help send thousands of kids to Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camps. Campers aged nine to 12 years attend a 10day summer camp session or a seven-day winter camp session, at one of the Foundation’s six camps in Canada and the United States.
Children are selected by Tim Hortons Restaurant owners who work closely with local youth organizations and schools to identify kids
who would most benefit from an experience at camp. There were several special guest servers at the Garrison Petawawa Tim Hortons
who did shifts throughout the day in support of the fundraiser including (above left) 4th Canadian Division Support Group (4 CDSG)

PSP hosts recreation celebration June 5
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Personnel Support Programs (PSP) knows how to
throw a party, particularly
when they want to kick off
June is Recreation Month.
Bouncy castles, a trampoline show, a petting zoo, arts
and crafts, sports and games,
a bike rodeo, a free barbecue
and face-painting were all just
part of the June 5 activities.
Though the rain forced the
activities indoors at Dundonald Hall, people still flocked
in droves to attend the annual
celebration.
“I’m always excited to
come back to Petawawa
and see some of the exciting thing they’ve done,” said
Ryan Cane, Senior Manager
at Canadian Forces Morale
and Welfare Services.
As well as celebrating
recreation as a whole, the
event highlighted PSP’s incredible achievement in receiving the HIGH FIVE®
accreditation. They’ve committed to training and development, staff assessments,
policy and procedures as
well as awareness, all things
they were doing unofficially,
but were recently highlighted by this endorsement.
“PSP not only met, but
exceeded the required criteria for providing children
programs at the highest
qualities,” said HIGH FIVE®
coordinator Emina Secerbegovic. “They are innovative
with their processes for ensuring positive experiences
for children, and truly made
HIGH FIVE® their every
day philosophy.”
On behalf of Parks and
Recreation Ontario, Secerbegovic bestowed congratulations and praise upon PSP
Petawawa. It is the first organization in the area, as well
as the first military base to
have received this status.
“That is amazing,” said
Secerbegovic.
“Through
their Personnel Support Programs division, Canadian
Forces Morale and Welfare
Services are committed to
providing quality leisure
experiences, innovative programing and recreational
facilities that enhance the
health and well-being of the
military community.”
HIGH FIVE® is Canada’s only quality assurance
standard for children’s rec-
reation programs. It looks
at ensuring youth have
positive experiences, forging memories that will last
for a lifetime. It is dedicated
to helping children along
the path of healthy development, something that PSP
has been dedicated to from
the start.
“Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services
have always demonstrated exceptional leadership
by supporting well-being
through other Parks and
Recreation initiatives such as
June is Recreation Month,”
said Secerbegovic.
Garrison
Petawawa
Commander Colonel Marc
Gagne acknowledged this
accreditation is a huge
achievement for PSP. He
credited the recreation department for their hard
work, which resulted in this
prestigious status. They
have continuously focused
on making Garrison Petawawa a fun place to live.
He added recreation
should be celebrated all year
round.
“This is another occasion
to make it more present in
our lives,” he said. “It’s good
for the kids. It’s good for our
families. It’s good for the
community. It is also good
for our military members
because recreation brings
physical fitness and mental
fitness.”

Petawawa Quality Inn and Suites earns fifth Platinum Hospitality Award
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Petawawa Quality Inn and Suites owners
Hans and Gabriele Feldtanzer have been in
the hospitality business for years, and have
received many accolades and awards.
That distinguished track record, however, does not diminish their pride in receiving a fifth Platinum Hospitality Award from
Choice Hotels Canada.
“I think we really care,” said Hans. “Little things matter.”
This isn’t just talk. He was found shortly
before the May 31 award ceremony in the hotel’s hot tub, scrubbing the grout to make it
perfect for clients. Again.
The couple knows the secret to running a
good hotel is simple; treat customers the way
they like to be treated. That includes little details here and there to augment their guests’
stays, as well as having an incredible team of
staff. This attitude is what makes their hotel
continuously shine.
“We have good management and we have
some team members that have been with us for
six, seven years now,” said Gabriele. “They are
the ones that won. We are very proud of this.”
This Quality Inn and Suites is part of
Choice Hotels Canada, which is composed of
323 hotels from Victoria, BC to Gander, NL.
Every spring, the chain recognizes the top
three per cent with platinum awards.
“This is maybe our only hotel that has
won an award every year it has qualified
for one,” said Director of Franchise Services
Brendan Gibney.
“We are so thrilled to have you in our system,” he added, addressing the Feldtanzers.
“You are easily our best owners in the system.”
It is a business that is open 365 days a year
and requires standards to be maintained, and
exceeded, every hour of the day, said Gibney.
This hotel holds high standards and out of
seven of nine categories, they were rated in the
top ten. Out of all hotels, they came in fourth
for cleanliness of rooms and bathrooms.
Though outside factors do not consider
into this award, the hotel has been given a 95
per cent satisfaction rating on TripAdvisor and
4.6 stars on Expedia. There are also countless
reviews praising the employees for their dedication.
“The fact that your staff is so strong is really a driver to this success,” he said.
Rob Alldred, Franchise Performance
Consultant at Choice Hotels Canada, had
nothing but positive things to say about the
owners, giving them and their staff full credit
for winning this award. He highlighted how
impressed he was by the team’s engaged,
hard working and professional attitude.
“It’s really enjoyable for me to come and
work with them, and I really have a lot of fun
because they are great people,” said Alldred.
As well as winning an award for each
of the past five years, this hotel took home
Canadian Hotel of the Year Award Petawa-
RBC Fdn gives $500 to CPAN
wa in 2012. Quality Inn and Suites was also
nominated for the 2016 International Quality
Hotel of the year, awarded by Choice Hotels
International Inc., but were narrowly edged
out by Sweden.
“What an honour to be nominated
though,” said Gabriele. “So that was great.
That is the one thing that we are missing.”
For the fifth year, the Petawawa Quality Inn and Suites received a Platinum Hospitality Award by Choice
Hotels Canada. It was presented to the owners on May 31. (Above left to right) Franchise Performance

Next steps for Highway 17 expansion
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) received $500 from the Royal Bank of
Canada (RBC) Foundation. As part of the foundation’s mandate, when an employee puts in at least
40 hours of volunteer work with a particular organization, that organization will receive a monetary donation. This particular donation was due to the hard work and countless hours that RBC
Senior Account Manager Cathy Machin has put in volunteering for CPAN. She has been dedicated
to CPAN’s Operation Snowsuit for the past three years, helping sort, organize and distribute winter
gear for children in need. This year, the program reached record numbers: 411 children were in need
of warm suits. Machin presented the generous cheque to CPAN Coordinator Lyn Smith on May
19. CPAN is now collecting funds for its Tools for School campaign, which gives about 1,000 kids
backpacks filled with school supplies. (Photo by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
The fight to expand
Highway 17 continues after
a lobbyist was hired to facilitate communication between
the federal, provincial and
local governments.
“We’ve been moving forward to meet with the political people at the same time,”
said County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon.
“What we’ve asked for ...
is a predictable program to
run through the County of
Renfrew and across the rest
of Ontario to head up Highway 17, so it becomes a fourlane highway.”
Expanding the highway to
four lanes has been a priority
for the county for some time.
It has been officially identified
in the strategic plan, and has
been deemed necessary for
economic growth.
To help gain traction
with the federal government, the county has tied the
idea of expanding the highway to a nation-building exercise. As part of the Trans-
Canada system, it should be
better maintained, particularly when compared to the
pristine state of the highway
down east.
“We’ve taken that approach and said it was the
perfect time to work on
Highway 17 across Ontario,”
said Emon.
“We talk about the need
the need for the highway to
be four lane simply because
the sheer volume of traffic that is not predictable,”
Emon added.

Next steps for
Highway 17
expansion ...
continued from
previous page
Thousands of employees at Garrison Petawawa
and Canadian Nuclear
Laboratories, the largest
employers in the Ottawa
Valley, travel the highway
daily to and from work.
Farm vehicles, convoys of
military vehicles, trucks
carrying nuclear waste and
school buses also use the
highway in conjunction
with large transport trucks
and regular car drivers.
One mistake can, and
has, cost people lives, Emon
pointed out.
Response from the federal government has been
relatively positive, he noted,
with officials indicating they
wish to be a partner with
the county for this project.
There is still much further
to go, as all levels of government must be in agreement.
“We will be getting out
to the MPs and the MPPs
along the Highway 17 corridor, and start talking to
them about a non-partisan
approach to getting this
developed in a timely manner,” said Emon.
There has also been no
official commitment by the
government, either provincially or federally. As
the project is shovel ready,
Emon and his group will
continue to push the issue
and garner more advocacy.
The SAFE On 17 campaign has also brought attention to the issues the
highway presents to ratepayers. It is an initiative
that promotes Highway 17
expansion, using the power
of social media to gather
information, host a survey,
and collect data and stories
to promote this goal.
As of May 16, more
than 2,500 people have responded to the survey, overwhelmingly in support of
expanding the highway.
“People are very, very
adamant that this gets done
in the five to 10 year timeline,” said ComBEtek Owner and Webmaster Shawn
Behnke. “Most people realize that money doesn’t grow
on trees and there has to be
a realistic approach to this.”
Emon and his team plan
to press the issue until it
is resolved and Highway
17 finds itself expanded to
four-lanes across the county.

The Petawawa Horticultural Society teamed up with Grade 2 students from St Francis of Assisi School
and Valour JK-12 School to plant trees. The path leading to the Petawawa Civic Centre behind the
schools was soon lined with 12 fruit trees - nine apple and three pear. The planting occurred on May
30, and it was the perfect opportunity for these youngsters to learn more about the life-cycle of trees.
(Above) The students helped dig a little bit before putting the trees in the ground. They added nutrients
and mulch to the soil and covered it all up with more dirt. Once the tree was stable, they helped pat
down the earth. (Below) Horticultural Society member Ron Needham shows the kids in his group how
the root system works. (Photos by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)

New To The Area? Tips On How To Acclimate To Your New Community
Moving is seldom easy. But
even after all of the boxes have
been unpacked and the furniture moved in, some of the
difficulty of moving remains.
Much of that remaining struggle can be traced to adjusting
to your new environment.
Though many people settle
into a new residence after a
short period of time, acclimating yourself to a new community is a taller order, especially
for those without friends or
family already entrenched in
the community. The following are ways men and women
who recently relocated can
acclimate themselves to their
new surroundings.
* Join a local community
organization. Local community organizations provide
great opportunities to meet
new people and learn about
a town or neighbourhood.
Parents may find such organizations more accessible, as
associations that focus on local youngsters are quite common. Adults can join parental
organizations sponsored by
their children’s school or volunteer with an extracurricular
organization, such as a local
youth sports program. These
are great ways for moms
and dads to meet fellow parents and begin forming new
friendships.
Singles or married couples
without children also can
take advantage of community organizations.
Volunteer with an environmental cleanup group or sign
up to play in a recreational
sports league with neighbours
in your age group.
* Make an effort to meet
your neighbors. The days of
yore when everyone knew
their neighbours are largely
a thing of the past, but that
doesn’t mean you can’t make
an effort to meet the people
who live next door. Once you
have settled in, knock on your
next door neighbours’ doors
and introduce yourself. If you
really want to go the extra
mile, host a casual backyard
barbecue and invite your
neighbours and their families.
* Don’t be a shut-in. Communities are often home to
numerous traditions, and
many such traditions are
aimed at increasing the sense
of community within a given
town. Summer carnivals
or winter holiday balls can
make for a fun way to assim-
ilate into a community and
meet your neighbours.
* Join a professional organization. Many professionals
find the demands of their careers are simply too great to
give them the amount of time
they need to fully assimilate
into their new communities.
In such instances, men and
women might want to join
their local professional organization, which can help them
meet professional peers and
make contacts that can pay
both professional and personal
dividends. If no such organization exists in your community,
consider starting one.
The difficulty of moving
is often considered a burden on children. But adults
may struggle to acclimate to
a new community as well.
Making that adjustment and
learning to thrive in your
new community may require
some creativity and effort.

The Emerald Necklace
Trail System was designed as
Petawawa’s Millennium Partnership Program to explore our
heritage, celebrate our achievements, build our future, and
leave a lasting legacy throughout the years, Petawawa’s settlers have formed the paths,
which now make up the Emerald Necklace. The phases of the
system will eventually unite
Petawawa.
The Millennium Trail
The Millennium Trail, a
paved 2-kilometre walkway
along the Petawawa River,
is Phase One of the Emerald
Necklace. The Petawawa Rotary Club was the lead applicant with funding by the
Canadian Millennium Partnership, the Ontario Trillium
Foundation, the Town of Petawawa, Ontario 2000, and donations from local residents,
businesses and Garrison Petawawa.
The beautiful lush green
of ‘emerald’ scenery gives the
Millennium Trail rare glimpses into the past and how the
area must have looked in the
time of the early settlers. It is
designed for walkers, joggers,
in-line skaters, cyclists, crosscountry skiers, and snowshoe
enthusiasts. The walkway is
highlighted with an outdoor
museum featuring storyboards that tell the history of
our people, the environment,
and how the people of the
area lived off the land.
The Millennium Trail
also features a flow-through
swimming pool, the Evergreen Stage - a performing
arts stage constructed from
logs, a beautiful Victorianstyled gazebo, and a prayer/

Provincial recognition for Felicia Arsenault
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Members of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club
(RAWC) – Pembroke Branch returned from the Ontario
Youth Wrestling Festival with gold.
This tournament was held in Coburg, ON on April 23, and
nearly every member of the club came home with a medal.
It is known as one of the toughest tournaments of the
year. Club Manager Patricia Loranger credits the coaches for whipping these young athletes into shape. All the
coaches constantly search for new and better ways to train
and feed their athletes, bringing out their innate talents
and refining them in time for competition.
After having such a successful run at the provincial
level, members were able to compete at Canada East Wrestling Festival in Montreal. This competition, held in midMay, brings together the most talented amateur wrestlers
from Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces.
“They work hard, and practice, and we see them
evolving from tournament to tournament,” she said. “We
are pretty proud of them.”
The official season has finished, and the club’s most
immediate goal is to bring awareness to its activities and
improve enrolment for October 2016.

& Weekends 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please call 613-588-4508.
The Third Annual Garrison Petawawa Triathlon will kick off the running
season for athletes in the Ottawa Valley.
“It ... gets things going and back into
the groove of it from the winter,” said
Race Director Jennifer McPhee.
The competition will be held on
June 18 at Dundonald Hall at Garrison
Petawawa. The first wave of swimmers
will kick off at 8 a.m. The traditional race
starts with a 750 m pool swim, followed
by 20 km bike race around the garrison
and finishing with a 5 km. It is possible to
do this event as a team of two or three, allowing people to take advantage to their
athletic strengths. For those who aren’t
sure whether or not this challenge is for
them, there will also be a try-a-tri, which
is a shorter version of the real thing.
“It is a fun community event,” said
McPhee. “It is a mixture of some competitive athletes in the community and some
totally new athletes. And somebody who
cannot swim can still participate because
they can run or bike. Or vice-versa ... It is
a great way to spend a morning.”
According to McPhee, the Petawawa
Triathlon Club itself has also grown in
numbers. More people are seeing the
benefits of the sport, and are enjoying
the challenge of mastering three separate
athletic skills. Many of the members will
also be participating in this event, and
there will be a legion of volunteers to help
out with logistics as spectators cheer participants on, she confirmed.
There is still time to sign up for this
event. Those who participate will be
gifted with a triathlon transition towel.
“We are sitting at about 57 (participants),” McPhee said. “We have about
20 entries still available for people who
still haven’t registered yet. We even
started an hour earlier this year to get
people out in the cooler part of the
morning.”
Registration is open until June 15,
and both civilians and military members over the age of 15 can sign up.

Champion swimmer making waves as gifted triathlete
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Many personnel serving
at Garrison Petawawa are
incredible athletes as well as
dedicated soldiers, and Sergeant Marc Prud’homme is
no exception.
The 33-year-old member
of 3rd Battalion, The Royal
Canadian Regiment (3 RCR)
has distinguished himself
through his talent and hard
work, surmounting the challenges of being an athlete as
well as an infantryman.
Though triathlon is his
sport of choice, he recently
made some waves at both
the Canadian Armed Forces
(CAF) National Swimming
Championship and the Ontario Master Swimming
Championship, where he
managed to continuously
earn gold. This despite the
fact that he had been sidetracked by illness, work ob-
ligations, training exercises,
late arrivals and even later
nights.
“I’m happy because I
had a good time,” said Sgt
Prud’homme. “Even if I was
tired, I’m a soldier..., so I just
put it out of my mind, and
soldiered on.”
He is by all accounts an
exceptional swimmer, but
now prefers to apply his
athletic talents to triathlon.
He finds that there are more
challenges in the three-tiered
race, and it gives him more
time to enjoy the process of
racing.
“Sitting on a pool deck
at 80 per cent humidity, and
hearing people whistling
super loud and screaming, it’s just like white noise
for a weekend,” said Sgt
Prud’homme. “I don’t find
that interesting anymore.”
That doesn’t mean that
he has completely forgone
the aquatic world. He knows
Sergeant Marc Prud’homme is one of the best triathletes in Canada,
particularly in the Canadian Armed Forces. He manages to balance
his athletic achievements with his responsibilities with his unit.

he will have to compete in
at least one swimming challenge per year to qualify for
the CAF swimming championships. It is also not uncommon to spot him at the Dundonald Hall swimming pool,
working out at lunch or in
his free time.
“I used to love the
(swim) racing, but now I like
the preparations more,” said
the Sergeant.
His innate swimming talent and the dedication he has
given to the sport over the
years does give him an advantage in triathlon. He often finishes the water part of
it long before his opponents.
To further refine their
skills, he and his fellow triathlon teammates were sent
to Florida for a training camp
earlier this year. Unlike previous years, they decided to
push themselves to the limit,
seeing how hard they can
race. They had planned to
train for 25 hours, but did 37.
They also each did almost
1,000 kilometres on a bicycle,
60 to 80 kilometres on foot
and swam well over 15 kilometres.
The week culminated
in a testing race. Exhausted
and sore, none of the teammates thought they would
get a good timing. They were
wrong.
“We were all very surprised,”
admitted
Sgt
Prud’homme. “I ended up
doing way better than I expected, but even compared
to my overall finish. Last
year, I finished 10th in that
same race. This year, I finished 7th... I beat two guys
that I never beat before.”
He credits his success to
the refinement of his technique
as well as his focused commitment to his workouts. He also
has to train while exhausted
most of the time because of his
long hours at work.
“So when I race tired,
it doesn’t really affect
me as much,” said Sgt
Prud’homme.
Since being posted to Petawawa last year, he has spent
countless days in the field, on

To accommodate his busy
schedule, he now starts his
day at 4 a.m. He admits it can
be difficult to crawl out of a
warm bed to do so, but knows
that the benefits far outweigh
the negatives.
“I have a purpose and I
just refuse to give away those
times,” said the Sergeant. “I
used to think that I needed
my sleep or I was just not
going to perform. Now I just

Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics
The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics
came to Petawawa on May 31 with a launch at the Petawawa Legion. Ottawa Valley OPP officers joined with Pembroke and Area
Special Olympians for the short jog down Petawawa Boulevard
before enjoying a game of soccer baseball at Our Lady of Sorrows
School. Seven Pembroke and Area Special Olympians brought back
medals from the 2016 Guelph Spring Games including (above) Susan Therrien, who won two gold and one silver medal in swimming. (Post photos by Bruce Peever)

“Now we are trying to
grow and grow,” said Loranger, adding members
range between the ages of
eight and 19.
They train in the gym at
the Centre scolaire catholique
Jeanne-Lajoie in Pembroke.
These athletes train with
their appropriate age group
as well as other athletes of
the appropriate physical size.
This allows them to wrestle
in a safe, structured environment, and it also helps them
work on skills they can use in
other sports.
“We have hockey players,
we have skiers, and it is definitely exercise,” said Lorang-
er. “You are always moving,
and you are definitely developing your core.”
Membership is $95 for
the season, and members are
asked to help fundraise for
tournament expenses. Before committing to the club,
the athletes are invited to
partake in two free classes.
This allows them to see if the
sport is for them.
“They come and try it,
and if they want to join, they
can register,” said Loranger.
For more information on
the club or to register for next
year, please visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.

OFSAA cross-country championships coming to Petawawa
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
The 2017 Ontario Federation of School’s Athletic
Association (OFSAA) CrossCountry Running Championships will be held at the
Petawawa Golf Club (All
Ranks Service Club).
One of three major North
American
cross-country
competitions, it is rivalled
only by races in New York
and California.
“It is a huge endeavour,”
said Co-Convener Rick
Schroeder. “It’s kind of the
Olympics of high school.”
Valour SK-12 School, Fellowes High School, Centre
scolaire catholique JeanneLajoie and Madawaska Valley District High School put
in a bid to host the event in
April. They were successful, and granted the opportunity to demonstrate their
organizational skills.
“We’ve hosted three
EOSSAA (eastern Ontario
secondary school athletic
association) championships
here and that’s probably
what they are looking at, and
so many county championships, ” Schroeder. “I think
they know that our expertise
is going to be fine.”
Athletes will have to
travel from all over the
province to attend and the
races will be split into seven
categories: midget girls and
midget boys in Grade 9, ju-
Petawawa Golf Club Ladies Night - June 2, 2016
The weather forecast did not look good
– but for whatever reason the nasty clouds
blew over and the night was a huge success.
A total of 36 women came out and had a
great evening of golf, food and prizes. The
new format is proving to be appealing to our
female golfers – even if you are a beginner –
the evening is fun and can be rewarding.
Closest-to-the pin was won by Karen
Allard. The longest putt contest was won
by Aurore Webb and the 50/50 winner was
Randa Teschner. Prize draws were won by
Roxanne Charette, Karen Allard, Sabrina
Phillips, Amanda Lang, Jodi Ingram and
Gerri Brunette.
CHICKS FOR CHARITY EVENT –

sis situations. Bring a donation and receive

nior girls and junior boys in
Grade 10, senior girls and
senior boys in Grade 11-12,
and a para-race.
According to Schroeder,
it will be “awe inspiring”
for the community to host
such a large, prestigious
event. The two-day event
will draw up to 5,000 athletes, coaches, supporters
and spectators. These runners will descend on the
town during the first week
of November. A pre-OFSAA
race will be held at the beginning of October, which
will see about 2,000 arrive
in Petawawa.
Despite the challenges
of organizing such a massive event, he feels confident that everything will be
ready in time, considering
the fact that Garrison Petawawa is providing a lot of
support.
As this is the largest
cross-country
championships to be held in Petawawa, it requires a lot of logistical planning, and organizers
are looking for volunteers to
help out. If anybody in the
community is willing to volunteer, or contribute financially, please contact Gary
Serviss at servissg@rcdsb.

Rexall Pharma Plus once again supported the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Over the past 13 years,
they have contributed over $130,000 through sponsorship and fundraising, and as well as providing their financial
support, staff members have continuously volunteered at the Survivors tent by serving coffee, cake and tea to all
cancer survivors on site. They also provide the survivor registration in the tent, handing out t-shirts and survivor
pins as well. This helps honour survivors, joining them in their celebration of life and showing the community the
strides made in the fight against this disease. The Relay was held on June 3 at Garrison Petawawa. On behalf of the
Canadian Cancer Society, Renfrew County Canadian Cancer Society Fundraising Specialist Jessica Khouri thanks
Petawawa’s Front End Store Manager Jodi Croucher and Pembroke’s Front End Store Manager Sally Risto for the

moving or looking for a new home
(NC) The warmer weather
has arrived, and with it comes
moving season. If you’re moving this summer, there are tons
of things you’ll need to keep
track of. While it may not be as
a glamourous as planning the
new paint colour or décor, Enbridge Gas recommends keeping these things in mind when
evaluating any potential new
home. They can save you time
and money in the long run.

A Special Posting Supplement to Spotlight on Homes
Hire the right tradespeople for your renovation
(NC) Many of us are turning our attention to major
home, cottage and business
renovations. Even though
most of us can’t wait to get
our projects started, taking
the time now to find the right
tradespeople for the job is a
necessary first step.
If any of the work you’ll
be doing involves one of Ontario’s 22 compulsory trades,
the tradesperson you’re hiring must have a valid certificate of qualification from the
Ontario College of Trades.
Advanced planning and hiring certified and qualified
tradespeople saves time and
money, because it reduces
the likelihood of having to
replace work that was performed by uncertified workers. Too often, unnecessary
and costly re-dos throw a
huge wrench in the flow of
many projects, while adding
major costs. Preparation and
a bit of research will greatly
increase the chances of completing your renovation on
schedule and on budget.
“Before you have any
work done on your plumbing or air conditioning, or
any other work that involves
a compulsory trade, check
the Public Register on the
college’s website and quickly find out if the tradesper-
son you are speaking with is
qualified to do the job,” says
Bob Onyschuk, the college’s
director of compliance and
enforcement. “If they don’t
have an active membership,
then they are not legally certified to perform that trade
in Ontario.”
To save time, money and
headaches this renovation
season, inquire before you
hire — ask to see the tradesperson’s credentials to verify
their certification and college
membership. A college membership card or certificate of
qualification indicates that a
tradesperson has received certification in that trade, and in-
cludes an eight-digit number
that can be used to verify their
status on the college’s online
Public Register. When you go
online, make sure the tradesperson is listed as having an
active membership status.
This status indicates the member is in good standing with
the college and is legally able
to work in Ontario. An expired, cancelled or suspended
membership indicates that
the individual cannot legally
work here.
To check if the tradesperson you’re considering
hiring is certified, access the
Public Register at collegeoftrades.ca.
It’s important for your safety and security to hire certified professionals, like licensed residential air conditioning systems mechanic

News from the GREATER PETAWAWA CIVITAN CLUB
Did someone say it was
hot out for two days? Well
now the cold is back and
once again you need a warm
sweater when outside. Now
for some news from the
Greater Petawawa Civitan
Club. I hear that the bingo
is doing great and we had a
few new Bingo players out
last Sunday night. The 52
special is getting up there
once again. You know that it
can go at any time.
By the way, if you come
to our Bingo, why not bring
a friend with you or someone that just moved to Petawawa? If you live on the
Southside in the RHUs you
can walk to the Bingo. We are
at the Civic Centre building
just by that big playground.
For all you new people
who have just moved to Petawawa, our Civitan Bingo is
held every Sunday night. The
doors open at 5:30 p.m., the
early bird starts at 6:30 p.m.
and regular games start at 7
p.m. If you are not sure how
to play our bingo games,
we tell you at the beginning
of each game and our helpers will also help you out. If,
for some reason, you need
someone to play a game for
you, our helpers will do that,
too. You are not expected to
tip the bingo workers. We are
all volunteers and a thank
you is just fine.
By Marie F.E. Arnold Public Relations,
Well, I hope to see you
all at the Bingo this Sunday
night and bring a friend.
That is all for now God
Bless.
Thought for the week: It’s
a fact Volunteers live longer.
Laughter is the Best Medicine: A neighbour’s granddaughter came home from
Sunday school quite excited.
“I learned God’s name today,”
she said. “Is that so?” her
mother replied. “And what
is it?” “Harold,” the girl said.
“We learned, it in a prayer
“Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Harold be Thy name.”
The Greater Petawawa Civitan Club has donated $687.02 to help fund PSP Community Recreation’s
