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. See Emergency page 2 On April 26, Garrison Petawawa Operations and emergency services personnel were put to the test with an unannounced mock exercise - a CH-146 Griffon helicopter crashed in the Firefighters’ training area of the garrison.

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.

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.

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. Petawawa Post, May 5, 2016, Page 5 Support Our Troops Scholarship Program accepting applications until June 30 By Patricia Leboeuf Petawawa Post The Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) Support Our Troops (SOT) Scholarship Program now has 23 scholarship grants available for the families of Canadian Armed Forces members. Scholarships are given out annually, and eligibility varies by province. Nationally, five full-time scholarships will be awarded with a maximum value of $10,000 to be split over the program’s length. This same amount will be given to two full-time students in Alberta. Nation-wide, one fulltime student will receive up to $6,500. Three part-time scholarships of a maximum of $5,000 will also be handed out every year. In Manitoba only, 10 parttime and full-time students have access to $1,000 scholarships. One in the same amount is also available to 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. The Grn Petawawa Post Office is a fully functioning Canada Post office, which 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.

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.

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, [email protected]. Petawawa Post, May 5, 2016, Page 7 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.

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 Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) Presenter Brock Godfrey came 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.

Fallen Paratrooper Memorial this Sunday GARRISON PETAWAWA - Master Warrant Officer Reginald Riddell, Warrant Officer 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 Garrison Petawawa on Sunday, May 8 . The tragic nighttime parachute drop on May 8, 1968 marked one of the largest peacetime training accidents in Canadian military 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, or email [email protected]. Donations are also gratefully accepted to cover the cost of service programs and lunch.

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) Fitness Rep Amy Coveney leads the group yoga session.

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 when additional officers will Bishop Smith Catholic High School 362 Carmody St., Pembroke, ON Why choose BSCHS?

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.” Page 14, Petawawa Post, May 5, 2016 sports, health & recreation sports, health & recreationGreater Petawawa Civitan Club Tools, Equipment, Party Goods (613) 735-0338 1403 Pembroke St. W.

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, the South Side Community 3025 Petawawa Blvd - Unit 12 • 613-506-6094 /supplementking @supplementkingcanada www.supplementking.ca 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. (Below) Street Senturions Enjeu brought many goodies and toys for the participants to enjoy, including this inflatable slap shot cage.

Appointments Appreciated Page 20, Petawawa Post, May 5, 2016 Let there be light (NC) When decorating, light is one of the most essential factors to consider when selecting a paint colour for your home. Does your space have natural or Open Houses Sunday ATTENTION 33879 Hwy 17, Deep River Purchase 12 or more advertisements in Spotlight on Homes and receive two free Open House listings each week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
