Petawawa Post
Every year, the 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade
Group (2 CMBG) Ironman
pits soldiers against one
another and the clock in a
contest of will, strength and
endurance.
The annual event at
Garrison Petawawa is split
into two days, allowing for
the more competitive participants to have their own
event on Friday.
“It is a Petawawa institution,” said 2 CMBG Commander Colonel Conrad
Mialkowski. “It is known
through
the
Canadian
Army, and beyond. And it
has been nothing short of
spectacular.”
The grueling race is comprised of a 32 km forced
march, 4 km canoe portage
followed by a 8 km paddle
and capping it all off with
a final march of 6 km. It is
not for the faint of heart as
it pushes even the most seasoned athletes to their physical and mental limits.
3rd Battalion, the Royal
Canadian Regiment (3 RCR)
Sergeant Mario Larocque
came in first with a time of
5:51:20. He climbed his way
to the top from ninth place
last year, narrowly beating
out his rivals.
“It feels good, there is
just no other way to say it,”
Sgt Larocque said.
“I’m super happy, super
proud,” he added.
It was an endeavour he
had strived for, sometimes
working out two or three
times a day in preparation.
His training was made
even tougher with the addition of a newborn to the
family, but he credits “daddy power” for being able to
do it all. It all paid off in the
end when he crossed the finish line, his 3 ½ month old
daughter Ayla in his arms.
Col Mialkowski also
participated in the race,
though non-competitively.
As he watched people cross
the finish line, some struggling to stay upright, he
admitted to being amazed
by the sheer power and
“certainly that raw determination”
demonstrated
by every single of the 452
competitors.

Chairman Doug Tennant. (Top right) The major unit to win Ironman was the 3rd Battalion, The Royal
Canadian Regiment with an average time of 6:11. (Right) 2 Field Ambulance, the minor unit winner,
had an average time of 7:00. (Photos by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
“The top performers are
always the ones who garner attention and it’s good
because they do incredible
things, but any participant
that does it … even those
who, for medical challenges, fall out, you still have to
admire that get up and go,”
said Col Mialkowski.
While it is a challenge for
soldiers, it is also an opportunity for them to fundraise for
a good cause. This year, they
raised $15,143 for the Renfrew
County United Way.
“And donations ...continue to come in,” said Col
Mialkowski.
On the afternoon of
Sept. 9, an Ironman Parade
brought together nearly all
Brigade and Garrison personnel to give proper due to
all those who triumphed and
marked themselves worthy
of a trophy or plaque.
“The whole thing has
gone smoothly,” said organizer Captain Michael
Bowman. “We always run
into little problems we have
to iron out, but everybody
came out to make sure it all
worked out.”
With the quickest average time of 6:11, 3 RCR won
the Major Unit team award,
with 1st Battalion, The Royal
Canadian Regiment coming in second with an average time of 6:47. The Minor

man race on both dates.
He had a time of 8:11:06 on

Petawawa Post
Still full from the breakfast marking the launch of
Garrison Petawawa’s National Defence Workplace
Charitable Campaign in support of the Renfrew County
United Way, several dozen
soldiers gathered behind
Normandy Court to watch
the garrison’s Command
Team take the plunge.
An annual long-term tradition, Garrison Petawawa
hosted a pancake breakfast
fundraiser, but this year, organizers added a dunk tank
to further promote their goal
of raising $85,000.
Garrison
Petawawa
Commander Colonel Mark
Misener knows it is a tall order, but feels confident they
will achieve this goal. He
knows firsthand how generous people can be as countless individuals lined up to
take aim at the dunk target.
“The amazing thing is
that the money stays local,
so it is our opportunity to
support those around us that
support us all year round,”
said Col Misener.
Getting both the campaign and people’s mornings off on the right foot,
volunteers served a full
breakfast on Sept. 12 to hun-
gry soldiers and defence
team members. The meal
cost $5, but many people had
no hesitation about throwing
in a few extra dollars
“The men and women
at the Garrison have always
been very supportive of the
United Way with their individual giving and when they
come together,” said Renfrew County United Way
Campaign Chairman Doug
Tennant.
Over the next two months,
there will be several events
held at the Garrison to help
meet the five-figure goal.
“It is an opportunity to
help Canadians in need,”
said Col Misener.
Renfrew County United
Way Executive Director Patricia Lafreniere is always
amazed at the dedication the
Garrison demonstrates during fundraising season, particularly now that she and
her team is aiming to raise
$400,001.
“Every event that they
run is inspirational to other
workplaces,” she said. “The
way that their team leaders
get them rallied to support
such a great cause, I commend them for everything
they do for us.”
Money raised through
this campaign also helps various local charitable groups
Garrison Petawawa’s Chief Warrant Officer Bill Richards is a still a
good sport after getting repeatedly dunked in frigid water. The dunk
tank was a new addition to the annual Garrison Petawawa United
Way kickoff, and people paid $5 for the chance to dunk their superior
officers. (Photos by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)
and organizations such as
the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre, the Robbie Dean Family Counselling
Centre, Boys and Girls Club
of Pembroke, The Grind
Coffee House, the Salvation
Army Youth Camp, the Parent Café, and the Commu-
nity Resource Centre.
“It really helps the people in your community enjoy
a better lifestyle,” said Lafreniere.
The United Way is a facilitator, and brings together
people, resources and organizations to ensure that families and individuals receive
the services they require.
Their ultimate goal is to make
sure that the community is
a healthy and safe place to
work, live and play for all.

Town water
ban still
in place
HUSQVARNA’S
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
The Town of Petawawa’s
ban on non-essential water
use will be maintained to
safeguard adequate supply
and prevent undue stress on
its water treatment plant.
The ban was put in place
after an electrical fire destroyed one of three motor
control centres on Aug. 16.
This equipment is manufactured by a limited number of
suppliers, and while a new
one has been designed and
ordered, delivery isn’t expected until late October.
“The ban will stay in effect until we have the facility
up and running in normal
running condition,” said
Mayor Bob Sweet.
Ontario Clean Water
Agency staff and contractors are working to return
the plant to full order. Using
water excessively at this time
could impact temporary
measures put in place and
further damage the machinery. This could result in even
more problems, and bans for
a longer term.
Residents are asked
not to use water for things
outside normal household
needs including washing
cars and watering lawns.
“It is amazing just how
much water is used by watering lawns,” said Sweet. “… It
can certainly deplete the reserve we have in the tanks.”
He acknowledged this
may be unfortunate for
resident’s whose lawns are
turning brown or who have
planted new sod, but the
town’s main responsibility
is to ensure there is enough
water for fire suppression.
The quality and the
safety of the water are not
affected.

Garrison Petawawa families and the public invited to
celebrate Garrison Family Day September 17
GARRISON
PETAWAWA– Garrison Petawawa will
once again celebrate Family Day with Department of
National Defence employees
and Canadian Armed Forces
(CAF) Personnel by throwing
one massive free event on Saturday September 17 from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m.
“This event is a chance
for us to recognize and thank
our families for their constant commitment and enduring support in helping to
deliver operational success
at home and abroad. Without
the support and dedication
of families the CAF could
not achieve its required operational outputs,” said Garrison Petawawa Commander Colonel Mark Misener.
“Thank you for everything
you do to keep the home fires
burning. We also recognize
that our friends and community partners are crucial due
to their unwavering support
that they provide us.”
“We want you to have fun
at this event as it is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements while enjoying one another’s company thus making
our community stronger. The
event is open to all and is a
great opportunity for our newly posted members and their
families as well as those who
have lived here a long time to
get together and get to know
one another”, said Garrison
Petawawa Chief Warrant Officer CWO Bill Richards.
Some of the highlights
for this year’s event will be
a large selection of military
static displays, entertainment
by the 2 CMBG Pipes and
Drums, kiddie commando
course, colour run, live entertainment, Craz-E-Crew Stunt
Team, and so much more.
The Masoni Child Identification Program will be on sight
for anyone wanting to register
their children. A full schedule
of events can be found at psppetawawa.com.
Participants wanted for Community Needs Survey
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
The Community Needs
Assessment Survey was
launched Sept. 12 to identify
some of the most pressing
challenges that military members and their families face.
The survey is open to all
military personnel, veterans
and family members until
Sept. 23. The Petawawa Military Family Resource Cen-

tre (PMFRC) and Personnel
Support Programs (PSP) will
use the provided feedback to
better serve the community.
The responses will determine what military families
really want and need from
both organizations, and
what their priorities are.
“It is an investment by
military families,” said PMFRC Executive Director Claudia Beswick. “They don’t have
to let us know who is doing
what, they just need to let us
know what they like and we’ll
take it from there.”
It doesn’t matter if respondents are frequent or
casual users of the PMFRC
and PSP; the organizations
just want to know what is
needed in the community
to augment quality of life
and morale. By gathering
this type of data every three
years, both get a better picture of the wants and needs
of military families as well
as a snapshot of how well
the current services address
those needs.
“Then we’ll know if we
need to make any adjustments or if we should find
other things to offer,” said
Beswick.
Though there is an opportunity for people to provide feedback after events,
activities and programs,
this survey is a more complete data-collecting tool. It
is a relatively long process,
clocking in at 15 to 20 minutes, but the length was designed to get a full view of
people’s opinions and experience. It touches on every
aspect that a participant may
encounter with the PMFRC
and PSP, whether it is recreational activities, mental
health support or childcare.
According to Beswick,
this broad scope is integral
because it doesn’t matter
what programs are currently
in place if they aren’t needed
or wanted.
“It is essential that the
community has the chance
to give us their input on their
needs and wants for our services,” said PMFRC Board
of Director’s Chair Selina
Robb. “We want those reflective and genuine responses.”
The answers will lead
both PSP and the PMFRC
into different partnerships
with community organizations as needed. The survey’s answers will also let
them know how to better target military members, veterans and their families.
“We want to hear from
them and we want to know
how they are doing,” said
Beswick.
The survey is online until Sept. 23 at www.cfmws.
com/CNA.
Petawawa named one of 24 stops
on Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour
PETAWAWA - In a September 7 press release, Rogers revealed the locations of the

“This event is an opportunity to showcase our community, our rich local hockey
history and to recognize some local minor

Sweet.
MacLean and Slone will host a pre-game
show live from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio

the sport of hockey;” stated Mayor Sweet,
“we are excited to share some of those stories
with a national audience.”
Over the last two NHL seasons, the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour has visited
49 communities across Canada, traveling
56,000 km (more than six times the length of
the Canada / US border), while welcoming
400,000 visitors to the festival. For the complete tour schedule, go to www.hometownhockey.com.

By MCpl James Gray
On 12 August 2016,
Transportation
Company
(Tn Coy), 2 Service Battalion, family, and friends said
farewell to beloved civilian employee Ms. Paulette
Cotter, who retired after 37
years of loyal and dedicated
employment in the Public
Service. The luncheon was
held at the Great Canadian
Warehouse in Petawawa.
Ms. Cotter began a parttime job with 702 Signals
Squadron as the Switchboard Base Operator from
1982-1983. She then transferred to Base Foods as a
kitchen helper for one year,
and soon secured a fulltime
position with the Orderly
Room as a clerk at Central
Medical Equipment Depot.
In 2002 she joined the Tn
Coy family at 2 Service Battalion.
Ms. Cotter is the epitome
of what teamwork is about.
She was always willing to
assist the civilian drivers
with claims and paperwork
and made herself available
to the soldiers, providing
advice on policies and life in
general! Actively involved in
workplace safety programs
and various committees, she
always put the needs of the
Coy and people first. As a
single parent, she balanced
her life admirably. She has
raised a wonderful family
while also giving unconditionally to Tn Coy.
The retirement ceremony
was emotional for everyone.
Saying goodbye is never
easy but we wish Ms. Cotter all the best in her new life
and her bucket list.
Congratulations
Paulette, we will miss you and
thank you for everything.

From Infantry to AD to Fd:
42nd Field to celebrate its 150th anniversary in September
by A/SLt Melanie Aqiqi
Public Affairs Officer
42 Field Artillery Regiment
(Lanark and Renfrew Scottish, RCA)
42nd Field Artillery Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew
Scottish), RCA will celebrate
its 150th Regimental Anniversary this September, 2016. It
can be said that our history is
a complicated one. Re-named,
re-designated, re-organized,
re-roled, and re-badged numerous times since its formation in 1866, it has remained
firmly rooted in the Lanark
and Renfrew counties of Eastern
Ontario
since its creation.
The Regiment was born
from the Pembroke Infantry
Company of the 42nd Brockville Battalion of Infantry
in 1866. During the riotous
Fenian Raids, the battalion
was called out in 1870 to defend the St Lawrence River. It
could be argued that this is
where we got our first feel for
the guns, as the battalion was
accompanied by two batteries of Garrison Artillery from
Brockville and Ottawa.
In 1900, the company was
re-designated the 42nd
Lanark
and

(Above) The first twelve Lanark and Renfrew volunteers for overseas
service were commanded by Captain William H. Smith in August
1914. The 130th Lanark and Renfrew Overseas Battalion was mobilized on 14 November 1915 at Perth under Lieutenant-Colonel J.E. de
Hertel and the 240th Lanark and Renfrew Overseas battalion was mobilized 1 June 1916 at Renfrew under Lieutenant-Colonel E.J. Watt.
ment and headquartered in
Pembroke, Ontario. During
the Great War, members of
the regiment joined the fight
in England where they were
absorbed into numerous units
within the 130th “Overseas”
Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) (1915)
and the 240th “Overseas” Battalion, CEF (1916).
Following the war, the
Regiment was re-organized in
1922 as the Lanark and Renfrew Regiment and in 1927,
re-designated as a highland
infantry unit (Lanark and
Renfrew Scottish Regiment).

1900, Private Stoddard enlisted

years old, on February 15, 1916.
He was with the 2nd Canadian
Division from 1916 –1919. He
returned to the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish in 1942 and was
with the 59th Light Anti-Aircraft
in 1946. He retired as a Chief
Warrant Officer and Regimental
Sergeant Major in April 1955.

During World War II
(1942), the Regiment was
divided into two battalions.
The 1st Battalion was mobilized for service in support
of home defence on the eastern and western seaboards
of Canada until 1943. The
2nd Battalion proceeded to
England in 1941 as part of
the 1st Light Anti-Aircraft
Regiment, RCA and then to
Sicily in 1943 for the duration of the Italian Campaign.
In 1944, the Regiment returned to the infantry as the
Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment, until moving
into France in 1945 as the
1st Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew
Scottish Regiment), RCA.
At the war’s end, the
Regiment was re-roled as
the 59th Light Anti-Aircraft
Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish) and then
once again returned to its
infantry roots in 1959 as the
Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment. Thirty-three
years later, in 1992, the regiment adopted the RCA in its
name again when it was reroled as an Air Defence Regiment. The new name, 1st Air
Defence Regiment (Lanark
and Renfrew Scottish), RCA,
also came with a personnel
change of both Regular and
Reserve Force personnel to
form a “total force unit”.
The year 2006 saw the
regiment converted to field
artillery and re-named 42nd
Field Artillery Regiment
(Lanark and Renfrew Scottish), RCA, one of three Primary Reserve field artillery
units of 33 Canadian Brigade
Group.
A Reunion Call, from
September 23 to September
25, 2016 will be hosted by
the 42nd Field Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish),
RCA Association for past and
currently serving members
through a variety of events in
Pembroke, Ontario.
Whether it is to the tune
of Highland Laddie or the
British Grenadiers, members
of 42nd Field Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish),
RCA continue to march on,
proud of our shared heritage and service to Canada.

Don’t underestimate the importance of wedding day photography
Limousines, gowns and
flowers are each important
components of a couple’s
wedding day. But few aspects of a wedding are as
important as photography.
Thanks to the popularity of social media, some
couples may overlook the
importance of hiring a professional photographer for
their weddings. Although
there is something to be
said for candid images cap-
tured on phones and personal cameras, the pictures
a couple will cherish and
look back on for decades
are best supplied by a professional photographer.
Professionals use highquality equipment that will
produce much better results than photos snapped
on the average digital camera. Plus, the photographer has experience with
posing, placement of arms
and legs, head tilting, and
lighting, each of which ensures that the photos come
out looking as good as possible. Furthermore, professional photographers tend
to have an eye for interesting angles to capture images that may be overlooked.
Price alone should not
dictate which photographer to hire. Although
wedding budgets are often
stretched, skimping on a
photography
allotment
may result in subpar results. That doesn’t mean
you need to hire the most
expensive photographer,
but couples should realize the value of experience
and professional equipment, both of which tend
to come at a premium
price. Do not expect to pay
package prices that would
be offered at department
or discount stores. A pho-

Fall Showcase returns
By Patricia Leboeuf
The very best
deals on your
favorite used
models!
Petawawa Post
The Petawawa Fall Showcase has returned once more after
a brief hiatus, and it is expected to be a weekend to remember.
Similar to its spring counterpart, Fall Showcase will be at
the Petawawa Civic Centre over three days, from Sept. 23 to
25. It will host some top vendors, many of whom travel from
afar to ply their wares and services.
Under new management, Showcase has also teamed
up with the Petawawa Heritage Village for the first time.
Through this partnership, the event has become more than
just a chance to meet with vendors and put a face to companies; it will now offer countless more activities for families to
enjoy, both modern and historical.
“There will be a lot ... going on in a short amount of time,”
said Shawn Gallant, owner and organizer of the event.
The Spring Showcase typically attracts about 10,000 people and nearly 200 vendors. Though Gallant estimates the fall
version will be smaller, it should be no less successful.
“We will have some new vendors that focus on fall and winter based services and products,” he said.
There will also be more free entertainment on the grounds
such as face painting, Skyza Ottawa Valley Bubble Balls, inflatables, a Mega Machines display and the Valley Princesses.
“We don’t want to just be a vendor show,” said Gallant. “We
want to get as many people out to this event as we can.
“It’s great to see the kids take advantage of all the entertainment because who doesn’t love a smiling kid’s face?” he added.
Many of these free activities will be held nearby at the
Petawawa Heritage Village.
Their Fall Harvest Market and Bake Sale is in its third year,
and combining with Showcase this year will help promote it.
“I think it’s really nice that they are helping us advertise,”
said Petawawa Heritage Society/Village President Ann McIntyre. “Because why have two events and try to compete?”
The Village will only be open on Saturday, and it will offer demonstrations of spinning, wool dying, trapping, blacksmithing, carpentry, baking and much more, as well as provide some old fashioned goods to purchase.
“We are going to try and promote trade skills; that people
still do artisan work like they used to back then,” said McIntyre. “Items like metal work and quilts.”
The on-site outdoor oven will also be blazing hot as it churns
out various treats of historical accuracy, with money going to
help maintain the village.
For more information and the full list of vendors at the Petawawa Fall Showcase, please visit showcaseinpetawawa.ca.

Petawawa Heritage Village holds
successful Summer Youth Program
The Petawawa Heritage Village closes
the end of the Senior/Youth Horizon Summer program. Students came out to the village on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10
a.m. - 2:30 p.m. during July and August and
enjoyed learning Trades and Skills from Seniors in our community.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the
students to work alongside seniors and
discover that they have so many untapped
skills, it was also a wonderful chance for seniors to discover that they still have a great
deal to offer the community.
This past summer under the program
director Sharon Rideough, the students did
education, family living 1865, weaving,
drop spindle, soap making, candle making,
blacksmithing, Ukrainian floral hair wreaths,
lamp making, knots, logging, hit and miss
engines, carpentry, wilderness survival, bak-
ing outdoors, mail prior to the turn of the
century, lamps, early pioneer games. They
also discovered from Bob McKenzie about
fairy stones and making leather pouches.
We had two very active programs one
was a water boiling contest and Chief Steve
Knott came out and talked to the students
about camp fire safety.
Our last day was The Village Olympics,
something the students planned and ran. It
was a team effort put on for the seniors to
enjoy. They took all the pioneer games and
made them into events, stilt, sack, wheel barrel, hop skip jump and shot put. The Podium
prizes were handmade and they even portrayed the media. It was a wonderful way
to end the summer season.
The last day was also our traditional outdoor oven pizza and Peggy Brown out did
herself once again.

Warrant Officer riding to combat cancer
Petawawa Post
Risking bears, mud holes
and breakdowns in the middle of the woods, Warrant
Officer Dave MacIntosh is
riding his ATV from Petawawa to Picton in memory of
his late former wife Tammy.
Tammy MacIntosh was
in remission after her first
battle with cancer in 2002,
thriving for many years until
she was recently diagnosed
with myeloma, a cancer that
affects plasma cells. After a
brave fight, she succumbed
on May 24, 2016 in hospice.
Though separated for the
past 15 years, the duo had remained close friends, and her
passing left WO MacIntosh
with a painful wound. The
need to do something to combat cancer was spurred on by
conversations with his 20-yearold daughter Marissa MacIntosh. The loss was devastating
to her and MacIntosh wanted
to help out in some way.
The idea to do a 400 km
fundraising journey came to
him during a random recreational ATV ride. It is an activity that he took up a few
years ago, and it quickly became a passion. He decided to
push himself to the limit and
formalize his journey, reaching out to the community for
funds with the aim of donating anything he collected to
the Canadian Cancer Society.
He then reached out to
the organization with an offer to collect $500 in pledges,
which he later turned into a
$1,000 goal. Two days before
his ride began on Sept. 9, he
had raised $1,130.
“My daughter thinks it is
awesome,” said MacIntosh.
Though Marissa is his
main influence, she isn’t the
only one encouraging him. He
has received nothing but positive comments from friends,
family and coworkers.
“To tell you the truth, I
didn’t even think I would
get close to my goal,” said
MacIntosh.
He has also been carefully
mapping his journey to ensure
his safety. He acknowledges
that anything could happen
in the middle of the woods so
he has prepared himself well,
collecting maps and carefully
planning out the logistics of
his trek. Due to his familiarity with the trails, he estimates
that it will take two full days
to reach his destination, with
an overnight stop in Bancroft.
Though some of his
friends have shown interest
in joining him on his adventure, he feels that this particular ride is personal. If it
happens to be a success, he
may do it again next year as
a formal fundraiser and invite people to join. He also
plans to take pictures and
post them on his ATV Ride
for Cancer Facebook page.
He will try to do so as frequently as possible, but admits that cell service is intermittent at best on the trails.
The money raised from his
ATV ride will “fund life-saving
cancer research, offer vital information on cancer and provide compassionate support
services to people living with
cancer and their families.”
While raising funds is
integral to this project, it is
mostly his way of celebrating the life of a woman who
had been a wonderful mother, a good friend and a proud
Canadian Armed Forces Veteran for over 18 years.

The winners of the Petawawa Horticultural Society’s 2016 Trillium Contest received their prizes on Aug.
27. Four talented residents distinguished themselves with front lawns that beautified and enhanced their
neighbourhoods. For their dedication and hard work, they received the coveted Trillium Award to be displayed in their yards. Neither the nominator or nominees need to be members of the society, and the size
of the garden has no effect on the judging process - it was all on merit. President of the Society Micheline
Thalmann presented awards to (left to right) Jim Sylvestre, Phyllis Slater, Linda Sylvestre, Kerry McDonald and Jennifer Carmichael. Missing are Rodney Carmichael and Ken McDonald, both credited by

Last Ontario SPCA Dog Wash
and BBQ of the season
The Ontario Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Ontario SPCA) Renfrew County Branch held its
last Dog Wash and BBQ of
the season on Aug. 27 at the
Petawawa Legion. Created to
bring awareness of the organization and its services, the
event demonstrated that animal welfare needn’t always be a
serious affair, but can be downright fun. The Dog Wash and
BBQ also alerted people about
the upcoming Friends For Life
Walkathon, which is at the
Pembroke Marina on Sept. 25.

Petawawa Legion Band welcomes
new director for 39th season
PETAWAWA - The Petawawa Legion
Community Band is kicking off its 39th
season with a free concert at the Legion on
Thursday, September 22nd starting at 7 p.m.
The event marks the final concert for music director Karen Christian, who steps down
after eight years at the helm of the band and
band school.
Karen will pass the baton to new music
director Kate Wickenhauser.
Kate, a retired music teacher, returns to
Ontario after almost 30 years teaching music
and leading bands in Saskatchewan.
“It was time to return to the green forests
and water,” jokes Wickenhauser.
“I am excited and honoured to direct the
Petawawa Legion Band. The Legion is a highly valued and important part of our history
and the band contributes greatly to that.”
Kate will also teach the Petawawa Legion’s Band School, also entering its 39th season of nurturing new musicians – or dusting
off old ones!
The Sept. 22 concert is the annual starter
to a busy season of concerts and parades,
with refreshments courtesy of the Branch 517
Ladies’ Auxiliary.
Band rehearsals are held on Wednesday
evenings in the Petawawa Legion, and new
members of all skill levels are always welcome.
For those wishing to learn an instrument, Band School registration is October
5th at 6:30 pm at the Petawawa Legion, with
classes starting Oct. 12th.
Instruments are available for rent.
Those interested in joining the Band or
Band School can contact Verlie at 613-6872890, or visit the band’s website at www.PetawawaLegion.ca/band.

Shape Up this Fall
By Kevin Strachan
Health Promotion Specialist
Garrison Petawawa
Fall can be a treat for
the senses: the crisp air, the
crunch of leaves underfoot
and a gorgeous canopy of fall
foliage. These months are
a great time to exercise outdoors and enjoy cooler temperatures. So, take advantage
of the weather, and follow
these seven tips to make the
most of the fall season:
1.
Integrate exercises
into your life. You already
know the obvious suggestions: bike to work, park
farther away from your destination, and take a walk
during your break. If you’re
spending the evening with
your children at a hockey
practice, instead of reading a
book or visiting with another
parent, why not walk around
the rink while they practice,
or do some stair climbing.
2. Deal with darkness.
The best way to enjoy fall is to
exercise outdoors. However,
as it is getting darker earlier,
and staying dark later, it is important to be smart and safe.
Just because it is dark doesn’t
mean you can’t work out. It
may mean that you need to
wear a reflective vest and a
INVENTORY
carry a flashlight.
3. Dress in layers. When
exercising outside, layer
your clothing. The inner
layer should be a moisturewicking layer, so that it
wicks away your sweat and
you’re not chilled. The second layer should be an insulation layer, which will trap
and hold your body heat.
The third layer should be a
protective layer, which will
protect you from the wind,
rain and snow.
4.
Be an active TV
watcher. With all the fall
premieres, many will find
themselves plunked on the
couch in front of the television for hours on end. If
you are going to do this, get
moving. While you watch,
you can walk or run in place,
do some stationary floor exercises, or lift some weights.
Even if you only exercised
during commercials, you
would add close to twenty
minutes of fitness to your
daily activity level after a
one-hour show.
5. Remember the 30-day
rule. It usually takes about
four weeks for the body to
adapt to lifestyle changes.
This is why many people
who give up on their fitness
programs tend to do so within the first 30 days. Try to
stick with the new program
for a month. After that, it
should get a little easier.
6. Find your motivation.
As different people are motivated by different things, it is
important to first identify what
your goals are. Create a challenge that will motivate you,
encourage you and hold you
accountable. Remember that
anything worth having takes
work. Reward yourself when
goals are reached.
7. Have fun with some
fall specific activities. Take
a hike through a colourful
forest; go pumpkin picking;
tackle a corn maze; rake all
the leaves in your backyard
(or your neighbour’s if you
don’t have any trees), make
a big pile and then jump in
them. There are many fantastic and appealing activities for all ages during the
fall months, so take advantage of them.
If you follow these seven
tips, there is a great chance
that you will find the fall the
most enjoyable season for
staying active. Enjoy! For
more information on starting a fitness program, please
contact the Health Promotion office at local 4685, the
Fitness Department at local
7113 or the Recreation Department at local 6437.

Once more Riverside Park was turned into Fiddle Park as hundreds of RVs and tents moved in, just in time for the Annual Pembroke Old
Time Fiddling and Step Dancing Championships. Since 1975, thousands of fiddlers, dancers and their fans make the pilgrimage to bring
the sounds of bluegrass, country and classical music to the area in the hopes of winning over $20,000 in prize money and trophies. Many
of the competitors even travel long distances to show off their skills, and it has become a tradition for Fiddle Park to fill up over the long
weekend with people from all over. Judging occurred on Sept. 2 and 3 at the Pembroke Memorial Centre. Categories include the 65 and over
fiddling, 50 and over step dancing, 45-64 fiddling, 19-44 fiddling, 19-49 Step dancing, 18 and under fiddling, 18 and under step dancing,
12 and under step dancing, 12 and under fiddling, 12 and under group dancing and nine and under fiddling, group dancing, twin fiddle,
open fiddling and open step dancing. Results of the competition can be found at bright-ideas-software.com/PembrokeFiddle/Results.htm.

Council supports
push to tax family-run
campgrounds as small
businesses
By Patricia Leboeuf
Petawawa Post
Petawawa Council is
joining other municipalities
in urging the federal government to recognize small,
mostly-family run campgrounds as small businesses,
and as such, they should pay
the same tax rate as other
small businesses.
Small family-run campgrounds have become a
target for the federal government looking for more
taxation revenue, wrote MP
for Renfrew - Nipissing Pembroke Cheryl Gallant in
a letter to council.
According to Gallant’s
proposed resolution, many
small campgrounds across
Canada have begun receiving notices from the Federal
Government warning them
of reassessments when they
are deemed to be too large to
qualify for the small business
tax deduction. Some familyrun campgrounds will now
be taxed at triple the rate of
other small businesses, rates
higher than even Canada’s
biggest billion dollar businesses with penalties and
interest. Back tax bills could
run in the tens of thousands
of dollars, crippling some of
the businesses and leading
others to ruin, said Gallant.
“One of the four pillars we have of economic
development in the county
is tourism, and we are hoping to build that pillar,” said
Mayor Bob Sweet. “Even
if one campground should
close that is an unfortunate
situation.”
Council passed a resolution highlighting their support for fair taxation during
the Sept. 7 council meeting.
“The whole of Renfrew
County has many small
campgrounds and I’m sure
this is an issue that not only
affects Petawawa, but I’m
sure concerns everybody
who operates a small campground,” said Councillor
Treena Lemay.
“So this is a worthwhile
option to try and get the federal government to change
their mind and leave the exempt status with these small
campgrounds,” she added.
For Councillor James
Carmody, supporting fair
taxation for small campgrounds isn’t just a matter
of promoting tourism, supporting family businesses or
helping the economy.
“It is just another example of big government with
a big rule book super imposing its dizzying set of rules
on society and just making it
difficult on every-day average Joes running their campgrounds to live,” he said.
“It’s just big government
and bad business.”

Is home ownership right for you?
(NC) With skyrocketing prices in
many major cities, owning a home
has become more of an option than
a given. For some, homeownership
is the best investment they’ll ever
make, while it’s not the way to go for
others. Here are some questions to
ask yourself before taking the plunge.
Do you really want to own? It
sounds great, but are you sure you
want to be a homeowner? It’s not
only a huge expense, it’s a lifetime
of maintenance, renovations, paperwork, and dealing with neighbours.
Remember that ownership isn’t the
only way to build equity. Regular retirement contributions can also serve
you well down the road without the
headaches that come with that white

picket fence.
Can you service the debt? The
hardest part of affording a home
isn’t saving for the down payment
— though that’s not exactly a cinch.
It’s affording the over 25 years of
mortgage payments, property taxes,
utilities, and home repairs that’ll really test your finances. Meanwhile,
owning a home doesn’t mean you
can ignore life’s other costs like retirement, an emergency fund, travel,
education, daycare, vehicles, food,
and more. So take a good hard look
at your income, deduct regular expenses and contributions, and ask
yourself if you can make the monthly
payments.
Are you prepared for the unexpected? Just because interest rates are
low now doesn’t mean they’ll stay
that way forever. If you buy, make
sure you’re in a position to afford
Edmonds & Associates
higher interest rates down the road.
Always use rate comparison sites
like LowestRates to keep your eye
on rates and stay informed about the
mortgage climate. And speaking of
unexpected costs, don’t forget to factor in the hidden closing costs including legal fees, the land transfer tax,
and Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) insurance.
Are you where you want to stay?
Although playing the buy-and-flip
game can be tempting, it’s a very
risky move. There are no guarantees
in real estate. Sage advice says that
if you’re in a position to afford, buy
in an area where you’re planning to
stay. Hopefully you won’t have to
take a loss if you ever do need to sell,
but buying with the intention of staying tends to be the safer bet.

We’ve had our first Fish & Chips of the season and it went
quite well, thanks to our volunteers: Helene, Zita, Mavis, Bill,
Jodi, Cindy, Frank, Kim, and Darius - all are known as team 1.
Keeping in line with military stories and articles, I have
excerpts from the book, True Canadian War Heroes on The
Battlefield, written by Arthur Bishop, the son of Billy Bishop.
Here is one such story.
Quote: Rothesay, Frank
“Took Complete Charge”
When his platoon commander was struck down, Frank
Rothesay of the 4th Battalion took charge and led his men
to the foremost German positions which came under fierce
enemy artillery and machine gun fire. Subsequently, when all
the company officers were either killed or wounded, he took
complete charge and remained at his post. (MM Sgt RefScs:
DHist 713 065 (1))

NEWS FROM THE GREATER
PETAWAWA CIVITAN CLUB
By Marie F.E. Arnold, PRO
The members of the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club are
getting ready for the upcoming months. It will not be long
before we will be getting ready for Thanksgiving and then
Christmas. Some of our members will be going away for a
few days to Valleyfield for our Region 5 Convention September 16-18, and I am one of them. Looking forward to seeing
Civitan members I haven’t see for awhile and having some
fun. Oh yes, we will all be back for the Bingo Sunday night.
I have to say that we are happy to see so many new bingo players coming out and enjoying our Bingo and meeting
new people. If you are not quite sure how to play bingo, our
workers will help you, and so will other players. We want
you to enjoy your night out and want you to come back the
next Sunday. Remember, when you support our Petawawa
Civitan Bingo you are helping us support those that need our
help in our area.
Our Civitan Club will be holding a fundraiser for Hope
Reins (the War Horse Project) to support our horse Maggie. The
War Horse Project supports all our veterans and those suffering
from Post Traumatic Stress. We will be holding this event in November at St Georges Chapel on Garrison Petawawa. I will have
more information about this event later on.
Our next Civitan meeting will be held September 14 at 7
p.m. If you would like to come and find out what we are all
about, come join us.
Have a good week and keep safe.
Thought for the week: Did I give thanks for all I have?
That’s all for this week, God Bless.
