Exercise READY SER-PENT sharpened the skills of 2 Field Ambulance (2 Fd Amb) personnel, further pre-paring them in case of a ma-jor disaster.

The exercise saw mem-bers travel to Toronto to work out of the Fire and Emergency Services Training Institute (FESTI) from Nov. 2 to 5. There they practiced rescues in collapsed build-ings alongside civilian First Responders including fire-fighters.

“It looks at things like rapid deployment, evacuation and triage and most impor-tantly, working with military and civilian collaborations,”

said 2 Fd Amb Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel (LCol) Steven Pirie.

Personnel were then at the Deep River and District Hospital (DRDH) Nov. 7 and 8, where they worked jointly with staff, creating a tented medical facility right outside the hospital’s doors. The scenario was a mock plane crash involving about 50 casualities, most of them with severe injuries.

“You can’t assume away things,” explained LCol Pi-rie, “the only way to get good at something is to practice. By practicing things, we get to learn what we are good at and exploit those successes, find what we are bad at and try to correct those in case ... the real event occurs.”

It is the first time the two agencies have worked together in such an elabo-rate manner. There are some unique challenges when working with two orga-nizations that have differ-ent methods, particularly around communication. Yet they persevered, and overall it was a success.

“At the end of the day we all work in healthcare and want to help people,” said LCol Pirie.

“From the get-go, we were able to integrate very well with each other and lean on each other for sup-port,” confirmed Major Carly Montpellier, Officer

Commanding of 2 Fd Amb’s Medical Company.

Much like the military, hospital staff are always looking to refine their skills. Having the opportunity to work so closely with uni-formed medical professionals was a rare and unique experience.

“We work very well together and the col-laboration was fantastic,” said DRDH Presi-dent and CEO Richard Bedard.

To ensure no actual patients were at risk, additional staff were scheduled during the exercise. Extra resources were made available and patients were seen as normal, creating a

hectic yet relatively routine day.The hospital has their own emergency

drills, but they acknowledged that collab-orative efforts with other healthcare organi-zations can only make them more prepared and offer better care to their patients, espe-cially in cases of large-scale disasters.

“It’s vital to the operations of the hospital to be integrated and involved with other com-munity agencies,” said DRDH Board of Direc-tors Chair Janet Gow. “Because in healthcare, you can’t sit in a silo by yourself.”

GRIEF & THE HOLIDAYS“Holidays are time spent with loved ones” was imprinted on our psyche from a young age. Holidays mark the passage of time in our lives. They are part of the milestones we share with each other and they generally represent time spent with family. They bring meaning to certain days and we bring much meaning back to them. But since holidays are for being with those we love the most, how can anyone be expected to cope with them when a loved one has died? For many people, this is the hardest part of grieving, when we miss our loved ones even more than usual.

Ways to externalize the loss of a loved one – give it a time and a place • A prayer before the Holiday dinner, about your loved one. • Light a candle for your loved one.

• Share a favorite story about your loved one. •Reflectonyourlovedone’sonlinetributepageat www.mdbfuneralhome.com • Have everyone share a funny story about your loved one. • At your place of worship remember them in a prayer. • Chat online about them.

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to handle the Holidays asyoutravelthisdifficultstretchofyourgriefjourney.

“We wish you and your family the Blessings of Peace throughout this Christmas Season.”

a month, that money will be set aside. So that instead of using their credit card per-haps at Christmas time, they might have that money to buy gifts later on.

“Canadians are spending $1.68 for every dollar that they make and we are try-ing to make sure that trend doesn’t happen here,” he added. “We want the mili-tary community to not be part of that statistic.”

And being financially stable is integral to being a fit soldier.

“Financial Literacy is part of a health package overall,” said 4th Canadian Division Support Base Petawawa Per-sonnel Services (4 CDSB Pers Svcs) Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Darcy Wright. “It goes along with physical fitness and men-tal fitness. Financial fitness makes people deployable and gives them the assurance that everything will be o.k. at home and that they can do everything they can do when they deploy operationally.”

SISIP addresses some

of the unique challenges of serving in the CAF; the re-alities as well as the financial implications. They also have the resources to ensure those

facing issues can get the help they need.

toys, games, fun!SHOP DOWNTOWN

Tradition is a hallmark of the holiday season. Religious services, fam-ily gatherings and trips to see Santa Claus are just a few of the many traditions people adhere to during the holiday season.

Many holiday shop-pers also adhere to the time-honored tradition of last-minute shopping. The perfect gift can some-times prove elusive, espe-

cially as the sand in the holiday hour glass keeps dwindling. These last-minute gift ideas may be just what shoppers need to put smiles on the faces of their loved ones this holiday season.

· Books: Books are of-ten overlooked, especially now that so many readers use e-readers. But books can be an ideal gift and especially convenient for

last-minute shoppers, who can even gift e-books. For example, Amazon, which has thousands of e-books in its online library, makes it easy for shoppers to gift e-books to Kindle users, who will simply re-ceive an email on Christ-mas morning informing them that their books are ready to be downloaded to their devices.

· Experiences: A 2017

survey by the global re-search firm NPD Group found that roughly 40 percent of holiday shop-pers planned to give ex-periences as gifts last year. Experience gifts open up a host of possibilities for last-minute shoppers stuck on what to give those loved ones who seemingly have it all.

· Food/beverage: Tele-vision channels such as

The Food Network have changed the way many people look at food. When gifting the family foodie, last-minute shop-pers may not need to look further than the latest hotspot restaurant or spe-cialty grocery store for the perfect gift. Take them out for a night on the town or give a gift card they can use at their convenience. The craft beer boom has created a host of devoted and knowledgeable beer drinkers, so a gift card or growler from a local craft

brewery is sure to please people who love hoisting frosty pints.

· Streaming service subscriptions: Many peo-ple are cutting the cord with their cable compa-nies in favor of streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. Subscriptions to such services can make ideal and affordable holi-day gifts. A six-month or yearlong subscription likely won’t break shop-pers’ budgets and will provide months of enter-tainment to loved ones.

Great last-minute gift ideas

A day in the life of Garrison Petawawa’s Environmental Technician Part 2: Field Work

Last week began with a description of the preparation and planning prior to com-mencing environmental field sampling. This article will describe a typical day in the field while conducting groundwater sampling.

The sampling day begins after all the equipment and sample bottles have been loaded into the vehicle. This first stop is Range Control to confirm that the area being sampled that day is still clear of any military training activities, then off to the site to start sampling. The number of sampling locations scheduled for that day is based on the loca-tion, depths of the monitoring well and an-ticipated purge volumes.

Prior to sampling groundwater monitor-ing wells (MWs) it is important to review the MW installation log (screened interval, esti-mated depth of the groundwater) and refer-ence the program to confirm what samples need to be collected. For continuity, where possible, all MWs are purged using a low flow method with a peristaltic pump. Low flow sampling supports minimal mixing of sediments from the bottom of the well and is recognized as a more accurate way of ob-taining representative data. The objective of the low flow method is to remove water at a rate of less than 0.1 litre per minute as to not induce a drawdown in the well. Occa-sionally the ground water depth is too deep for this method and a manual hand purge is

required. After referencing the MW log and confirm-

ing the method of purging, a ground sheet is set out adjacent to the MW to minimize con-tact of the equipment with any potential con-taminants on the ground surface. The MW cap is removed and, using a reel type measuring tape with a water indicator probe attached to the end, the water level and depth to bottom of the MW is measured. These measurements are used to calculate the volume of water to be removed from the well before sampling can take place. During the MW purging a multi-parameter meter (YSI) is used to record water quality variables such as pH, conductivity, dis-solved oxygen and redox potential. Once these variables are stable within defined limits sam-pling may occur.

Sample bottles are labelled and filled ac-cording to the parameter in which they are collected for. They are placed into coolers containing ice packs in the field before trans-ferring into a fridge at the end of the day to await shipment. Field duplicates are col-lected at a specified number to meet quality assurance and control measures. All samples are then listed on a chain of custody, indicat-ing the analysis required, which is shipped with the samples to the laboratory.

Field work typically consists of long days outside in all types of weather and the ability to adapt to interesting challenges that can arise.

Military Police launch Sexual Assault Review ProgramOTTAWA - The Cana-

dian Forces Provost Marshal (CFPM) Brigadier-General (BGen) Simon Trudeau is officially announcing Nov. 19 the launch of the Sexual Assault Review Program

(SARP). SARP will see the implementation of an open and transparent case review mechanism of unfounded sexual assault files investi-gated by the Military Police.

“The Sexual Assault Re-

The Team will hold their introductory meeting in

December 2018, in Ottawa, where they will undergo ori-entation training and com-mence their review of 179 unfounded sexual assault investigative files from 2010 to 2016.

view Program will provide another means by which the Canadian Forces Military Police continue to enhance the professional police ser-vice being provided to the DND/CAF community,” said BGen Trudeau. “It also ensures that our sexual as-sault investigative standards are to the highest levels.”

SARP will assemble an External Review Team (ERT) that includes participation of stakeholders and representa-tives of the civilian commu-nity and DND/CAF, to in-clude representatives from:

• A victim advocate from Ontario;

• A victim service/sup-port representative from the

Sexual Misconduct Response Center (SMRC);

• A sexual assault nurse examiner with the Canadian Forces Health Services;

• A civilian prosecutor from Ottawa;

• A member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on secondment to the Canadian Forces Na-tional Investigative Service (CFNIS); and

• A member of the CF-NIS.

The ERT will conduct an annual review of all unfounded sexual assault investigations from the pre-vious year. They will report their findings to the CFPM and make recommenda-

Snow Forts

As snow banks emerge throughout the town, Public Works crews remind parents to warn children that snow forts and tunnels are extremely dangerous. Playing in snow forts and tunnels poses a very serious risk of snow collapsing and of trapping a child. There is also great danger to children playing in areas where snow removal and clearing takes place.

Waste & Recycling Pick-up

Snow banks also present problems for refuse and recycling collection crews.PLEASE PLACE GARBAGE CONTAINERS, RECYCLING AND GREEN BINS FIVE (5) FEET BACK FROM THE CURB OR PAVEMENT EDGE IN THE DRIVEWAY TO PERMIT PROPER SNOW REMOVAL AND AVOID DAMAGE TO COLLECTION CONTAINERS.

The Town of Petawawa thanks the public for its co-operation and assistance in keeping children and workers safe during the winter season.

By Sheena Garnier, Public Relations Officer3583 PETAWAWA BLVD. • 613-687-2504 The count down to Christmas has begun and shoppers

are out and about in the local stores buying up those spe-cial items for family and friends. The Seniors Executive and members are making plans for decorating the Club for the festive season. We will be hosting the Legion Band on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 7 pm. This is a nice evening to come out and bring some family members to a concert of Christmas music performed by local artists. You will be sur-prised at the talent we have in our own back yard. We will be serving refreshments for everyone during and after the concert.

Tickets for the Chrismas Dinner/Dance are selling out, so if you haven’t got yours, drop on down to the Club and see Faye in the office for a great Christmas evening. Tickets for members are $25 and non-members pay $30. We are having a full course Christmas Dinner, with lots of assorted salads and other food items, dessert of course and tea and coffee. We have a door prize, a 50/50 prize and a raffle basket.

The cost is $12 for adults and $7 for children. Pick up your ticket in advance so we know how many to feed. Bring along an item for the food bank for those who are not as lucky in life as we are this year.

Elections for the new Executive were held on Thursday evening and we hope to get a picture for the paper next week. Thanks to everyone who served on the board for the past two years and many previous years. We are all looking forward to trying out some new ideas and working together at the Club.

Have fun shopping, watching those Hallmark movies, baking cookies, attending Christmas teas and craft shows. Take a walk around the neighborhood and see the pretty lights. I will see you at the Club!
