4 CDSG welcomes new commander Colonel Mark Misener
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Personnel of 4th Canadian Division Support Group
(4 CDSG) welcomed a new
commander Friday, and bid
farewell to Brigadier General
Marc Gagne.
After a two year tenure,
BGen Gagne handed over
command to Colonel Mark
Misener at a Change of Command parade on June 17. He
was also promoted to his current rank during the ceremony, and will assume the role
of Deputy Commander of 18
Corps Airborne in Fort Bragg,
North Carolina.
Col Misener now holds
the responsibilities of overseeing members of 4 CDSG
as they provide institu-
tional support to all Army
Formations within Ontario,
whether deployed in Canada or abroad. 4 CDSG is also
in charge of all lodgers units
at Garrison Petawawa and
Garrison Toronto.
Due to its various tasks
and roles, span of control,
mandate and uniqueness, 4
CDSG is one of the most complicated units to lead, said 4th
Canadian Division (4 Cdn
Div) and Joint Task Force Central Commander Brigadier-

General Lowell Thomas.
Being in charge of it all
wasn’t an easy task for BGen
Gagne, but he did it well,
shaping the division into the
well-oiled machine it is today.
“It speaks to knowing
your constraints, but more
importantly, knowing your
people because command is
all about people,” said BGen
Thomas. “... He quickly
gathered his sources and
leveraged his people to deliver, and this division is that
much better thanks to efforts
of the entire formation of 4
CDSG.
“Fortunately for all of us,
Colonel Marc has displayed
the knowledge, the understanding and the diplomacy
to function in this most unique
environment,” he added.
BGen Gagne admitted he
didn’t quite fully appreciate
how quickly his term would
come to an end. He credited
his team’s hard work and
support for all that was accomplished in delivering
their mission. It was an honour and a privilege to lead
this division, he added.
“To the civilian and military members of 4 CDSG,
thank you for your constant
support and for taking care
of each other, so that every
one in the formation can
have a great place to work,”
said BGen Gagne. “And also
promoting a sense of pride
and engagement.”

4 CDSG welcomes new commander Colonel Mark Misener ... continued from front page
As he spoke to his soldiers for the last time, he
took time to thank all those
who supported him along
the way, including his family, his reviewing officer, his
soldiers and command team,
his civilian employees, the
local community and municipal leaders as well as the
federal and provincial elected Members of Parliament.
In particular, he gave his
Formation Sergeant Major
Chief Warrant Officer Bill
Richards his most sincere
gratitude for providing him
with constant aid, loyalty, deep
knowledge and wisdom, and
most importantly friendship.
BGen Thomas was impressed by how well the
division had been run. Just
by looking at the precision
of the soldiers on parade, he
could see how their attention
for detail was reflected in all
aspects of their work.
“We observed a highly
professional, dedicated and
proud organization with
outstanding
leadership,”
said BGen Thomas. “Colonel Marc, they reflect all the
qualities and competencies
that you espouse and they
do you proud.”
To Col Misener, BGen
Gagne had only positive encouragement.
“You are ready to assume the command today
of 4 CDSG,” said the outgo-
ing commander. “You will
be very busy with a diverse
formation, but you will find
it very rewarding to lead this
team of creative, capable and
dedicated workforce.”
Col Misener received his
military commission in 1987
and graduated from the Royal Military College in 1991,
where he received a mechanical engineering degree. Over
the years, he has been deployed on several operational
tours in Somalia, Kosovo,

Bears Are back...and your garbage attracts!
GARRISON PETAWAWA - Black
bears are actively searching for food during this time of year, and although they
normally feed on berries in June, garbage
makes for an easy and convenient meal
whenever available. Military and civilian
employees, residents, and users of Garrison Petawawa are reminded to take the
necessary steps to avoid attracting bears
both at home and at work.
A bear’s sense of smell is 100 times
better than a human’s, and the elevated
temperatures of June intensify garbage
odours, which linger and attract bears
from vast distances. Garbage is the
number one reason that black bears
are attracted to our homes, offices, and
schools. Leaving garbage accessible in
your backyard, at the curb longer than
needed, or in unlatched garbage dumpsters is asking for bear trouble! Odours
from compost bins, recycling bins, coolers, and BBQ’s also attract bears.
Not only is it unsafe to attracts
bears, it is also in contravention of the
Garrison Petawawa Bear Policy (AI
6.105 – Integrated Pest Management
- Annex F – Garrison Petawawa Pest
Specific Strategy – Appendix 1 – Nuisance Black Bears). For more information on the policy, contact Environmen-
tal Services at 613-687-5511 ex. 5960 or
[email protected].
Below are highlights of the policy to
avoid attracting bears:
In the RHUs:
• Place garbage in an appropriate container at the curb on the morning of
pick-up day (not the night before);
In the Garrison (unit lines):
• Ensure that the side door and lids
of large, red dumpsters are securely
latched at all times;
At Black Bear Campground:
• Ensure food is not left out at the campsite-store coolers inside locked vehicle;
• Ensure garbage is not stored at your
campsite- use the approved waste bins;
If you are experiencing a bear problem,
please ensure all attractants have been
eliminated.
If you are in immediate danger as a
result of a bear, call the Military Police
at 911 or 613-687-4444 from any outside
line. If you encounter a bear while camping at Black Bear Campground, notify the
staff at 613-687-7268, or call the Military
Police at 911 in an emergency.
For general information about bear
attractants contact Environmental Services at 613-687-5511 ex. 5960.
CAF Health and Wellness “Make Your Choices Count” Challenge winners
Strengthening the Forces Health Promotion and SISIP Financial joined together and invited people
to take part in the CAF Health and Wellness “Make Your Choices Count” Challenge. During the
month of May, about 130 soldiers and civilians made healthier choices in four core areas: Addictions
Awareness and Prevention, Injury Prevention and Active Living, Nutritional Wellness, and Social
Wellness. Participants took stock of each step they took towards a fitter, happier lifestyle. After a certain number of steps were reached, their names were put into a draw. Six winners were chosen and
they received their prizes on June 13. (Left to right) Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel Marc

Victor Jackson awarded 2016 Ontario Senior Achievement Award
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
The impact Victor Jackson has made on the community through his volunteer
efforts is beyond measure.
With the enthusiasm and
energy of someone a fraction of his age, the 87-yearold has plunged himself into
numerous projects with the
goal of bettering the community and helping those with-
in it. Solely through his work
with the Petawawa Heritage
Society, he has helped turn
around the museum and
bring history to life, capturing the town’s yesteryear
so that younger generations
may learn and enjoy.
For this, as well as his
constant willingness to help,
he received the 2016 Ontario
Senior Achievement Award.
It was officially presented to him on June 7 by Petawawa council.
“I certainly can’t think of
a better person to give this
award to,” said Mayor Bob
Sweet as he presented Jackson with the award.
There are a number of
reasons Jackson was chosen
as the recipient of this distinction. He has worked tirelessly
to better the community, devoting himself with single
minded purpose for decades.
His efforts have touched
countless people, whether by
volunteering for the Lung Association, with the 2642 3rd
Battalion, The Royal Canadian
Regiment (3 RCR) Army Cadet Corps or at the Petawawa
Heritage Society.
“I always admired his get
up and go in the community,”
said nominator Councillor
James Carmody. “He’s a real
go-getter and enjoys community projects. He is somebody
that people can look up to.”
As he accepted the award
in front of his family, Jackson
had a list of people to thank,
pointing out that no one gets
to where they are without
the support of others.
“At least, I don’t,” he said.
He began volunteering
in the 50s with the March of
Dimes, and never stopped.
Even after expending so
much effort for so long, he
never considered his volunteering a chore or burden,
but rather a fun thing for
him to do.
“I’ve enjoyed it all,” said
Jackson.
According to the province’s official website, the
Ontario Senior Achievement
Award “recognizes seniors
over the age of 65 who have
made significant contributions to their communities
through voluntary or professional activities in any field
or endeavour.”

The Petawawa Accessibility Advisory
Committee (PAAC) presented its barrier-free
report and work plan to council, highlighting
what can be done to make the town a more
inclusive place.
PAAC Chair Sheila Clarke admits Petawawa has already come a long way; the municipal
office entrances are currently under renovation and there are a large number of accessible
parking spaces on town property. However,
some of the notable issues still to be addressed
include better signage with orientation clues
for people with visual impairments, washrooms with better designed faucets and grab
bars, and the creation of scent-free policies.
“These are the things that we feel could be
fixed and easily maintained in the Town of Petawawa at a fairly reasonable cost,” said Clarke.
PAAC has applied for several grants at
the provincial level to help move these projects forward.
The report presented on June 6 was based
on a 2014 PAAC barrier-free audit. They
looked at various municipal buildings, rating how accessible they were, and compiled
a few changes. Some fixes are quick and inexpensive, while other buildings will be impossible to alter as they are too old.
“We have until 2025 to make these chang-
es, to make us accessible and I think we are
well on our way to that,” said Clarke.
To help achieve this, PAAC created a work
plan. One of the objectives is to make all Petawawa municipal buildings accessible to everyone, which is currently underway. The committee will be reviewing and commenting on
new site plans and researching the creation of a
municipal bylaw to ensure new buildings have
things such as automatic doors. PAAC also
wishes to raise awareness of the Accessibility
Act of Ontario and the challenges that people
with special needs can face.
“The public awareness part is such an important part of a plan like this because ablebodied people don’t always see the pitfalls
that are right there,” commented Councillor

On June 14, two firefighters were honoured for their 20 years of service with the Petawawa Fire Department, in all its incarnations. Recipients Captain Bill Tabram and Captain Peter Moss are flanked by
Fire Chief Steve Knott and Mayor of Petawawa Bob Sweet.
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
For their combined 40 years of active service with the Town of Petawawa Fire Department, Captain Peter Moss and Captain Bill
Tabram received the Fire Services Exemplary
Service Medal on June 13.
In front of council and a large group of people, both firefighters were recognized for their
years of dedication.
“Tonight, we honour two of our own
with this prestigious award,” said Fire Chief
Steve Knott.
Regardless of the time of day or night, of
the weather conditions, the type of incident
or their own personal lives, these men were
always there to protect the town, he added.
Concurrently as he praised his men,
Knott took the time to acknowledge their
partners and family members who have all
been extremely supportive and understanding over the past 20 years, even during times
that the department required them either for
calls for service or for training purposes.
“On behalf of the Town of Petawawa Fire
Department please accept our sincere thank
you for your continued support,” said Knott.
He presented both men with a certificate
and coin to demonstrate the municipality’s
gratitude for their service.
Moss joined the Petawawa Township
Fire Department on April 3, 1995. He was
promoted to his current position in 1998. He
also holds the position of President of the
Town of Petawawa Firefighters Association.
Tabram joined the Petawawa Village Fire
Department on April 24, 1995, and was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1999.
Alongside Moss, Tabram was integral in
establishing and administering the Respiratory Protection Program for the Town of Petawawa Fire Department.
The Fire Services Exemplary Services
Medal is part of the Canadian Honours System
which is under the authority of the Office of the
Governor General of Canada.
Created on August 29, 1985, it honours
members of a recognized Canadian fire service
who have completed 20 years of service, 10
years of which have been served in the performance of duties involving potential risks, and
were employed on or after the date of creation
of the Medal.

Petawawa Girl Guides of Canada recognize significant accomplishments
The Girl Guides of
Canada Community 27,
which includes the 4th
Petawawa Sparks, the
6th Petawawa Brownies, the 6th Petawawa
Guides and the 2nd Petawawa Pathfinders and
Rangers, celebrated the
achievements of several
of its members at a ceremony on June 6. (Top

Faubert (centre) with
leaders Monica Young
(left - wearing her own

Cord)
and
Tammy Mundy (right),
was presented with the
highest award a Pathfinder can obtain, the
Canada Cord, as well as
her Community Service
Pin and Pathfinder Citizenship Certificate. To
earn the Canada Cord,
tasks include planning
and leading three camps
and/or leadership events,
earning the community
service award by working 15 hours of community service, complete a First Aid course given by a recognized agency, and earn a citizenship certificate by doing eight activities out of the ‘Be a Model Citizen’
module. (Top right, left to right) Madison Oggelsby, Brooklynn Snow and Miranda Slate received a
pin and a certificate acknowledging their completion of the Lady Baden-Powell Challenge, the highest
achievement a Guide can earn. Usually completed in the last year of Guiding, the distinction includes
completing the Guide program area badges and other challenges, as well as an added service project.
(Above) Ranger Reagan Tremblay, the only Petawawa Ranger, was presented with her “Lone” pin, and
was awarded the Chief Commissioner’s Bronze Award as well as her Pathfinder Citizenship Certificate.
The Chief Commissioner’s award has three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The Chief Commissioner’s
Gold award is the ultimate award a youth member can earn within Girl Guides of Canada. (Photos by

Lions Club still serving the community
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
The Pembroke/Petawawa Lions Club
has had to give up its headquarters building,
but will continue to operate as usual.
“There is a big rumour that the Lions
Club is closing down,” said Club President
Dan McGean. “It is not true.”
In 1994, the group constructed the building
on Victoria Street in Petawawa with the help of
a Ontario Lottery Corporation (OLG) Wintario
grant. Though the parking lot was theirs, they
had a three-decade lease with the Petawawa
Housing Corporation (PHC) for the land under
the brick and mortar portion of the property.
Due to mounting expenses and decreasing revenue, the club was forced to give up
ownership. According to the grant’s original terms, it had to remain a community resource. As such, the club decided to pass it
on to the PHC and the Silver Threads Seniors
Club of Petawawa after failing to sell it to the
town. The club now meets in the church next
door, where they continue to do their work.
This act was necessary but difficult as the
club has poured more than a million dollars
into the location.
“To find out after 20 years that you have
to walk away, some of the club members
found it pretty hard to take,” McGean added.
“By the terms of the agreement with Wintario, there wasn’t much the club could do.
Their hands were tied.”
They have no desire to reclaim the building, and the decision marks the end of an era,
he confirmed.
The club recently marked its 65th anniversary. It began as the Pembroke Lions
Club, but as the membership’s demographic
shifted, Petawawa was added to the name.
Some of their members have been serving
the area for nearly as long as the club has
been in existence, confirmed McGean.
Without the burden of paying for the operation and maintenance of the building, the
club will be able to return to its roots.
“We will now be putting more effort into
what we do best,” said the president. “And
that’s fundraising.”
Like many service clubs, the Lions are struggling to attract new members. Many of them
are older - with the oldest at 94 years - yet this
doesn’t dissuade the group from continuing to
volunteer and raise funds for the community.
For over 25 years, they’ve been hosting the
local Santa Claus Parade. They have donated
and continue to pour hundred of thousands of
dollars into several community projects, such
as helping the Pembroke Regional and Deep
River District Hospitals, purchasing a rescue
boat for the Petawawa Fire Department, and
helping members of the community with their
emergency personal bills.
They offer support where it is needed,
regardless of the location of their home base.
“The clubhouse is a building, the club is
people,” said McGean. “And we have some
really good people who really, really want to
do something for the community.”

Letter to the Editor
Legion seeking new members
I have been talking to military personnel from the base
and they inform me they have
not joined the Legion because
they know nothing about the
Legion. This article will explain what the Legion is all
about. I am also available to
talk to all units at any time to
arrange this please contact me
at johnwmacqueen@ outlook.
com or call the branch at 613687-2504.
THE LEGION WAS
FORMED BY VETERANS
TO SUPPORT THEIR FELLOW VETERANS AND
THEIR FAMILIES. THE
FOLLOWING IS A BREAK
DOWN OF WHAT THE LEGION IS ABOUT:
1. Support to veterans and
their families. Our annual
Poppy Drive funds are used
to support veterans only.
2. Veterans Service Officer to assist all serving members to ensure they get all
they are entitled to form Veterans affairs. This includes
financial and medical needs.
3. Support to local charities and community events.
4. Support to youth education by offering bursaries.
Holding annual speech, poetry and poster competition
for all ages
5. Support to local Cadets.
6. Assist the annual
Trucker’s Toy Drive.
7. Support our branch
sports teams
8. We also have a Ladies
Auxiliary which is a great asset to our branch. They put
on breakfasts, lunches and
do cratering for parties and
weddings.
As you can see the Legion
is an excellent and a definite
asset to our community.
The major problem in
our branch is getting new
members to join. We are located just outside the largest
military base in Canada and
I would like to see a lot more
serving members become
members of the Legion.
As we all know there
are no World War I Veterans
alive and 2nd World War
and Korea Veterans are becoming fewer. The next generation of Veterans are the
recent retired and serving
members of the Canadian
Armed Forces.
I feel that it is up to the
new generation to remember
it was Military Veterans that
started the Legion and it is
up to us to keep their legacy
alive by keeping the Legion
alive. We all have relatives
and friends that have been
killed or injured in the line
of duty.
I hope all retired and serving members will help keep
the Legion going and join up.
Applications are available at
the Legion branch.

PMFRC Summer Kick Off
Despite the rain, Petawawa residents still turned out in droves to attend the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (PMFRC) Summer Kick Off. On June 10, the South Side Community Centre opened
its doors, offering countless activities for all ages. Sports and games, a
petting zoo, an all-age talent show, a free barbecue lunch, face painting,
balloon animals, a mega yard sale, vendors, an adult painting class and
photobooth were just part of the fun activities celebrating the upcoming
warmer months. (Above left) As soon as visitors entered the South Side
Community Centre, they were welcomed by PMFRC Board of Directors
Chairwoman Selina Robb and PMFRC Executive Director Claudia Beswick. They handed out gift bags filled with goodies to all.(Left) Aila Ling,

33 YEARS AND
STILL GROWING!
The New Ashley HomeStore Select operated by Furniture King is now officially open for business
at 10 Matthews Ave. in Laurentian Valley (just behind Butler Chev). Ashley Furniture offers quality
furniture at affordable prices. They offer a wide selection of styles for every room in your home to
suit your lifestyle and budget.
WOW! 33 years already and they are still having fun. In January 1983, Eileen Malette opened
Custom Draperies in her home on Airport Road in Petawawa. In 1987 she moved Custom Draperies
to Downtown Pembroke. In 2003, Eileen and her husband Pete purchased the ‘Doran’s Ladies Wear’
building and expanded their window fashions to include bedding and home decor. Within 2 years,
their daughter Tessa (an Interior Designer) decided to add furniture to their product line. It did not
take long until the orders started rushing in. Shortly after expanding their offered products, they
started searching for a warehouse to meet the growing demand. While searching, they decided to
open a full Ashley Furniture Store in Petawawa in 2011. Next, they set up a Frigidaire Appliance
and Mattress Gallery. In 2015, they realized they needed even more space and decided to move to
Pembroke and purchased the ‘TIM-BR Mart’ building. At the same time, they were approached by
the Ashley Furniture Corporation to become an Ashley HomeStore Select (a smaller scale version of
the Ashley HomeStore).
This Ashley HomeStore Select is the first model of its kind in North America, with plans for many
more to come by the end of 2016. Pete, Tessa and Eileen invite everyone to drop in and meet their
Dynamic Team. They are proud to offer a Premiere Delivery Service, which includes total furniture
assembly and placement.
Custom Draperies and Ashley HomeStore Select support many local charities, including the
Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre, and local schools and churches. The Child Poverty Action
Network (CPAN) is their major charity of choice. CPAN helps many local children in need.
The Malettes attribute their success to their great team and to each and every one of their clients
who have chosen to support them throughout the years, and for this they are truly grateful.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Act of kindness at memorial run goes viral
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
When 61-year-old Patsy Turner
and Reservist Corporal Cameron Russell crossed the finish line at the annual
Krista Johnson Memorial “Run For
Change”, they did so holding hands.
Complete strangers at the beginning of the race, they quickly paired up,
keeping each other company during
the long, rainy trek. They held true to
the vow that they would finish together, and did so. This would have gone
unnoticed if not for a few photographs
that went viral.
The photos could seem unusual at
first glance, a 23-year-old soldier carrying a 50-pound rucksack accompanying a woman using a walker who
suffers with angina and heart nodules.
It touched so many people who saw a
kind act captured on film. In just a few
days, it has received countless shares
and likes on Facebook.
While Russell appreciates that
people acknowledged his act, he feels
that the small kindness he demon-
strated wasn’t worthy of such widespread attention - he just considers
himself an average guy doing something he found fun.
“People are looking at it like it is a
massive deal,” said Russell. “Don’t get
me wrong, it is great that people can
appreciate kindness...I just wish that it
was common enough that we wouldn’t
consider it that.”
He did not set out to escort anybody.
He also originally wanted to do the half
marathon on June 11. It was going to be
a solo act, just him and his rucksack.
Then he and Turner spotted each
other, exchanged greetings, and decided to simply do the next 10 km together.
Though Russell was initially concerned about his partner’s health, she
was determined to complete it, and
he respected that inner strength. Even
as they were soaked by the rain, they
were determined that both would finish. Though they came in last and just a
handful of people were left at the finish
line, they crossed it proudly.
Walking with Russell felt strangely
familiar, admitted Turner. Her two
cousins are in the military, and so was
her late brother.
“It felt like I was walking with my
brother,” she said.
“I still can’t believe that with that
big backpack (Cameron) helped me
up,” Turner added with tears in her
eyes, her voice shaking with emotion.
Their story has touched many people, including Andrea Abric, the photographer behind the photos.
At the race, she supplied all the
water for the stations, running back
and forth to ensure participants were
hydrated. When she was given notice that the pair were finishing last,
she stayed behind to make sure they
had water. As they appeared in the
distance, their touching partnership
brought her to tears and she took several pictures, later posting them on
social media. She did not expect much
to come from it, particularly not such a
positive response from so many. Yet it
isn’t the fame garnered by these photographs that touched her so deeply, but
the friendship that was forged.

DEEP RIVER - Ratty had some sage advice for Mole in
Kenneth Grahame’s classic tale The Wind in the Willows:
“There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth
doing as simply messing about in boats.” If the idea of a summer on the river in boats appeals to you as it did to Ratty 100
years ago, check out the Deep River Yacht and Tennis Club
web site, www.drytc.ca for details of our sailing school programs this year. Here are a few of the highlights:
Weekly youth sailing lessons for children aged 8 to 17
will be held daily, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., from July 4 to August 19.
Instruction is provided by Canadian Yachting Association
(CYA) trained instructors to CanSail Level 4. Student progress is reported weekly by e-mail through the CYA Checklick
software. Classes may be arranged in one week sessions but
students are encouraged to sign up for more than one session
to gain confidence and experience. Junior sailing students do
not require a club membership to take part. New this year is
an optional supervised lunch break at the sailing school - this
might be of benefit to out-of-town students. We also hope to
run an optional after - class race series for students looking for
an additional challenge.
A weekend adult sailing course is also being offered,
consisting of 12 hours of instruction over two days. This
course will be for July 23-24, with a weather alternate of
August 6 - 7. No previous sailing experience is necessary.
Students learn to sail two-person dinghies (Laser 2’s and
420’s). Extreme physical fitness is definitely not required
but students should expect to get wet!
Dinghy races are held on Tuesday nights, 5 p.m. until
dusk, June through September. Committee and rescue duties
are performed by the Yacht Club instructors. All participants
must have a club membership and pay a racing program
fee. For sailors with their own boats, this includes summer
dinghy storage on the beach. For experienced sailors without boats, the fee includes use of the club dinghies for the
Tuesday races. Senior students of the sailing school are also
encouraged to come out to hone their skills around the buoys.
If you are not sure whether you have sufficient experience
to join in, check with one of the contacts listed below. Crew
positions may be available and we are happy to encourage
newcomers to the sport.
For more information about these and other DRYTC
programs, check out the club web site (www.drytc.ca) or
contact Muriel Hostettler (613-584-4900) for youth and
adult sailing lessons or John Wills (613-584-2879) for dinghy racing. Like us on Facebook at “Deep River Sailing

Act of kindness at memorial run goes viral ... continued from previous page
“They are friends for
life,” said Abric. “I am so
glad that I was there.”
All three gathered together
once more on June 16 so Russell could receive a Splash
Auto Care car detailing package. It had been donated by
Splash co-owner Jack Lapierre
since he was so inspired by the
young soldier’s actions. The
gift is part of a kindness movement named Think of Others
(TOO). According to Lapierre,
the movement quickly became
popular with family, friends
and coworkers, and the donation is an aspect of it.
Though honoured, Russell couldn’t accept the gift,
or any other recompense.
Lapierre decided to donate it
to the Renfrew County Child
Poverty Action Network
(CPAN) in Russell’s name.
“If the spirit of this whole
thing is to be kind, and give
to the next guy, then this is
the way it should be,” Russell said.
The Krista Johnson Memorial Fund was established
to honour its namesake after

Local promotion and education programs recognized provincially
LAURENTIAN VALLEY – Once again,
the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre’s
(OVWRC) promotion and education programs were recognized for excellence by
the Municipal Waste Association (MWA).
The annual MWA Promotion & Education
Awards were presented in May at the MWA
Spring Workshop held in Huntsville.
The awards recognize excellence in municipal promotional and educational materials that
use creativity and ingenuity to help contribute
to an increase in both waste diversion and residents’ participation in diversion programs. Entries are reviewed by a panel of expert judges
and scored based on planning and implementation, effectiveness, originality and creativity.
“Educating our residents on waste management programs that are in place within our
employee who hand sorts recycling.
Elizabeth Graham, Communications Officer at the Waste Recovery Centre, explained
the significance of winning the Gold Award
in the Campaign Category.
“Judges noted the Keep Me Safe campaign was original because we addressed the
importance of worker health and safety by
humanizing the issue of improper disposal
of needles. This campaign was more than
just catchy slogans and billboards, it was
about the safety of our staff. It was rewarding to be recognized for that work.”
Community through thoughtful and informative promotional and educational messaging is
critical to the program’s success,” said Sue McCrae, OVWRC General Manager. “The MWA
awards allow Municipalities across Ontario to
share ideas as we all work toward achieving
the common goal of reducing waste.”
The Waste Recovery Centre was recognized in the following categories for Municipalities with less than 40,000 households: Silver
- Print Tool Category: Reuse Centre Brochure
- A two-sided card that describes what items
are acceptable at the Waste Recovery Centre’s
permanent Reuse Centre; Gold - Campaign
Category: Keep Me Safe - Proper Sharps Disposal - A campaign utilizing various media
that promoted the proper disposal of needles
and sharps by showcasing, Nicole, an OVWRC

A Special Posting Supplement to Spotlight on Homes
Save even more on your upcoming renovations
(NC) Planning an energy-efficient renovation that will help you save on home and/
or business expenses? The best way to get the
most out of your time and money is to start
by doing your research. Schedule consultations with contractors — they’ll be able to tell
you if you can save by refurbishing what you
already have, or need to buy new equipment
and appliances.
Chris Burns, chair of the Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning System Mechanics
Trade Board for the Ontario College of Trades
says getting the results you want may be as
quick and simple as tuning up the equipment
currently sitting in your own home.
“When considering retrofitting or replacing a refrigeration or air conditioning system, always consult a certified refrigeration
and air conditioning systems mechanic for
advice,” Burns recommends. “In some cases,
your current system may be designed to op-
,
erate efficiently and might just require regular maintenance.”
It’s also important to keep in mind that if
any of the work involves one of Ontario’s 22
compulsory trades, the tradesperson you’re hiring must have a valid certificate of qualification
from the college. This certificate can easily verified using the college’s online Public Register.
“I encourage everyone to inquire before
they hire in order to make informed decisions,” says Bob Onyschuk, the college’s director of compliance and enforcement. “The
goal of the Public Register is to prevent problems before they arise and give people the

News from the GREATER PETAWAWA CIVITAN CLUB
By Marie F.E. Arnold Public Relations,
Well now for just a bit of news from
the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club. We
are happy to once again see some new
faces at our Bingo on Sunday night.
On Sunday, June 12 Civitan Marie
Arnold held a raffle for a lovely basket
of goodies and a lovely afghan blanket.
There were two lucky winners. The
money from this fundraiser and others
that Civitan Marie will hold this year
will go to the War Horse Hope Reins
Project to support our horse, Maggie. Remember when you support the
Greater Petawawa Civitan Bingo you
are helping us support those who need
our help.
This year, we will be supporting our
members of our Canadian Armed Forces to say thanks for all that they have
done for our country.
No, we will not forget those we
have supported over the years. The
more you support the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club, the more we can support others.
Oh yes, if you would like to donate
a little bit of your time to help us come a
talk to us at bingo or if you see one of us
out and about. We love to tell you about
Civitan and what we do and have done
and are planning on doing.
We are starting a Horse Shoe Club
and if you would like to play horse shoes,
come see us on Wednesday night at the
Civic Centre Park at 6:30 p.m. Civitan
John VandenBaar is looking after this
event and you can reach him at 613-7175674 for more information, everyone wel-
come. Well, that is all I have for this week,
hope to see you at our Sunday night
Bingo and on Wednesday night at horse
shoes. Come and have some fun.
Have a good week and keep safe.
Thought for the week: No one is
perfect we all make mistakes at one
time or the other.
Laughter is the Best Medicine:
Grandma was sick so she said that little Johnny could go to church with his
Grandfather. When they came home
from Church Grandma ask John how he
liked church.” OK”, Then John told her
that Grandpa said that if the preacher
didn’t know what to do with his hands
he should have put them over his
mouth. Out of the mouth of a Child.
That’s all for this week, God Bless.
