Where did you spend your Canada Day thisyear? In Trenton, Belleville, Brighton, withneighbours, at the family cottage, or in yourown backyard flipping burgers, who cares - onehopes that you took time to reflect and remem-ber that we do live in the best country in theworld, no matter what.

Loved the front page of the inside sectionof the Saturday Intelligencer - the Canada DayQuiz. It allows you to take a moment andrecall all the things you thought you knewabout Canada but you didn’t: total area ofCanada; distance north to south; longest dis-tance east to west; length of the Canada-USborder; the length of the world’s longest coast-line; length of the longest national highway inthe world; largest island in Canada; number ofinventions that changed the world - telephone,wonderbra, zipper, snowblower, snowmobile,

electric car heater, the goalie mask, and ofcourse, the instant mashed potatoes. And therewere a great many other questions and items oftrivia, local and national, on which to stumpthe reader .

For some, the Canada Day celebrationsstarted Monday evening with the Quinte WestHeritage Parade, celebrating 10 years as amal-gamated townships. Well attended, ending atCentennial Park for all to meet and greet andto crawl over vehicles. The festivities carried onwith the flipping of pancakes July 1 and theopening ceremonies at 1100 hours, once againat Centennial Park.

Over in Belleville, the Canada Day festivi-ties kicked off with the Town Crier ringing inthe celebrations at 1100 hours. In and amongstthe main celebrations there were a host ofevents, shows, and displays, enough to enter-tain the entire family for the whole day andinto the evening. As for food, the variety and

Concentration overCourtesy

Marion Morrison ( JohnWayne to you and me)had a saying. Never apol-

ogize, never explain.First, I apologize.Second, let me explain.

“Good day.” It’s acommon enough phaseand a courtesy we all rec-ognize. The normal andexpected response is theperson to reply with“Good day.”

However, as morethan a few of you havecommented, I may notrespond to this greeting.I will walk by with astern look on my face orthousand-mile glare andmake no notice of yourgreeting.

Not a verbal reply, nota nod of the head or eveneye contact. This lack ofcourtesy even slips intomy telephone conversa-tions.

I, like everyone, havemy own faults. This par-ticular one, I had thoughtI had gotten rid of a fewyears ago, but it has creptback.

As I do my daily busi-ness and move about theheadquarters building orthe Wing, my mind willfocus on a problem. Themore complex the prob-lem, the more engaged

my concentration. Andthere you have it, a lackof common courtesy byme to others. So forthose I have not repliedto I’m sorry, and forthose whom I may notrespond to in the future Iapologize in advance.

I will endeavour to dobetter in the future, butas we all know, it is hard-er to break a bad habitthan to make one.

Just a thought.

Search & RescueUPDATE

424 Squadron had four missions in the past week.On June 28, RESCUE 419, our Griffon SAR asset, was

tasked to medevac a 55–year-old male from a 700-foot lakerunderway in Lake Ontario. Our Griffon landed on the ship, theSAR-techs took care of, and then transported, the patient toKingston General Hospital before returning to base.

June 30 was a busy day for 424 Squadron. Early in the morn-ing, our Griffon was tasked to medevac a 50-year-old femalefollowing an ATV accident just south of Bancroft. The area washeavily wooded, with only a small trail leading out from under aset of major hydro lines, so the SAR-Techs were inserted byhoist. An ambulance had concurrently arrived on scene, but dueto the poor condition of the trail and lengthy transit time to thehospital, it was agreed to transport the patient by chopper toKingston General Hospital.

Shortly after the Griffon was tasked, our Herc was tasked toassist with a vessel stuck on some rocks. The vessel was located,and the two people with the vessel were found tied alongside ina dinghy, wearing personal flotation devices. The Coast Guardshowed up just as RESCUE 320 did, and they took over thecase.

Later in the morning, our Griffon was tasked to search in theMidland Harbour area for a possible person in the water. TheOPP had discovered a boat turning in circles, with no one onboard. After several hours of extensive line searches, and shorecrawls, RESCUE419 was stood down and returned to Trenton.

Until next week, stay alert and stay safe.

It was with great pleasure thatI had the privilege to partici-pate in the Central RegionRegional Canadian ForcesSafe Driving Championship(CFSDC), commonly knownas the Roadeo, which tookplace at CFB Kingston fromJune 10 to 13, 2008.

The purpose of theCFSDC competition is topromote SAFE DRIVING-COURTESY- DISPATCH,with various types of vehicles,through friendly competition.

Although this event wasoriginally open to MSE Opsonly, it has since evolved andis now open to all members ofthe Canadian Forces for theHeavy Logistic VehicleWheeled (HLVW) and theRoute Discipline.

The CFSDC is dividedinto two portions. In the firstportion, safe driving is meas-ured by navigation through aseries of obstacles that chal-lenge your skills such as:knowing the width, lengthand turning radius of yourvehicle.

Vehicles used for thisevent are the HLVW, 40-pas-senger bus (commonlyreferred to as the “pickle

bus”), five-ton truck and trac-tor trailer.

The second portion of thiscompetition, (and the one Iparticipated in), consists of atwo-day Route Discipline(road rally).

This event is completed inteams which consist of twopeople, the driver and the co-driver reading the map anddirections, which is carriedout in a staff car.

The aim is to challengeyour general military knowl-edge and skills such as mapand compass navigation, gridplotting, weapon handlingdrills, first aid, and of coursesafe driving.

This event was a great suc-cess due to the participationof 72 members who showedup from Central Region.

Many thanks to the roadconstruction worker who waskind enough to show us theright way at an intersectionthat was undergoing someconstruction, and of coursethanks to my partner,Corporal Jason Bell, whointroduced me to theCFSDC.

And on another note, thisyear, the Central RegionRegional CFSDC 2008 washosted by CFB Kingston. Ican assure you that the spiritof the competitors was cer-

tainly evident during theRoute Discipline event.

For some of them, it wastheir first time in the compe-tition. 8 Wing/CFB Trentonhad five teams. Competitorsdid extremely well for theirfirst time. Finishing in secondplace were Corporal Huntand Private Crowley, thirdplace Corporal O’Brien andCorporal MacLaren, and in

fourth place, Corporal Falluand Corporal Brisson.

In other categories,Corporal Paquet finished infirst place and Mr. Balsdon infourth place in the TractorTrailer event. In the Bus com-petition, Cpl Paquet took sec-ond place.

To achieve success in theselast categories, the competi-tors need excellent driving

skills, experience and a lot ofconcentration to win.

8 WTn/EME would liketo congratulate all the partici-pants for their outstandingperformances this year’at theCentral Region CFSDC, andwish good luck to all who willbe proceeding to the NationalCFSDC, hosted by CFB ColdLake, where the best of thebest will compete.

quantity was tempting, a veri-table smorgasbord of tastymorsels.

At the Band Shell, theopening ceremonies kicked offat 1200 hrs, with a host of localprovincial dignitaries. Weremembered that this yearmarks Canada’s 141st birthdayand she has never looked soyoung, vibrant, and alive. Amiddle power on the interna-tional stage she brings forwarda wealth of history and solacein the fact that the country is amelting pot where persons ofvaried backgrounds, cultures,economics, and politics cometogether as one.

Being in Belleville it wasnot hard to recall that the his-tory of the city was linked andsettled by the United EmpireLoyalists in 1789. In 1816 itwas renamed Belleville in hon-our of Lady Arabella Goreafter a visit to the settlement bySir Francis Gore and his wife.Belleville became an importantrailway junction with the com-pletion of the Grand TrunkRailway in 1855, a key inexpanding the soon-to-be newcountry. All pre-datingConfederation.

The very beautiful Gothiccity hall was constructed in1872, six years before the citywas incorporated. In 1998, thecity was amalgamated with thesurrounding Township ofThurlow to form an expandedCity of Belleville, as part ofOntario-wide municipalrestructuring. And here we aretoday.

So how does this relate tous here on the Wing - of coursewhen on Canada Day we relateeverything to the birth of ournation. Canadian Forces BaseTrenton, while here a longtime, most certainly does notpre-date Confederation. Butthe Base has been instrumentalin assisting the Confederationof Canada find and fulfill its

place at home and on the worldstage.

In 1929, 960 acres of farm-land near Trenton were pur-chased by the federal govern-ment to establish a RoyalCanadian Air Force station, tobe called RCAF StationTrenton. The base was official-ly opened in August 1931.Trenton was intended as asmaller supporting base toRCAF Station Borden, whichwas the home of Canadianmilitary aviation and a majortraining base at the time. Thelocation was chosen for beingthe mid-point between Ottawaand Toronto. It also providedthe possibility of using thefacility for sea planes operatingon Lake Ontario. RCAFStation Trenton became hostto No. 1 Fighter and No. 3Army Cooperation Flights, fly-ing a variety of aircraft.Trenton became a major train-ing centre during the SecondWorld War under Canada’sparticipation in the BritishCommonwealth Air TrainingPlan.

Following the war, Trentonbecame home to transport andfighter aircraft, with transportaircraft from the base takingpart in the Korean Airlift, aswell as numerous other mis-sions throughout the 1950sand 1960s. Canada upgradedits transport and search andrescue fleet in the 1960s whenthe RCAF purchased the CC-137 Husky, CC-130 Hercules,CH-113 Labrador, and theCC-115 Buffalo aircraft, someof which you can still see flyingtoday. Trenton became thehome of training facilities forthese aircraft.

After the establishment ofthe Canadian Forces on ofFebruary 1, 1968, the Stationwas renamed Canadian ForcesBase (CFB) Trenton. The Baseis known today as 8Wing/Canadian Forces Base

Trenton --Wing for the aircomponents and Base fornumerous lodger units weshare the acreage with.

We’ve also added few moreaircraft to our inventory thatyou see on a daily basis shut-tling personnel and materialaround the globe.

8 Wing/CFB Trenton hasappreciated the support of thelocal communities in the past,acknowledged it here in thepresent, and are secure in theknowledge that it will be herein the future. The cities, towns,and the Base have growntogether, along with the coun-try, and look forward to adynamic and never-boringfuture together.

Canada Day was most cer-tainly a day to challenge allinvolved to take a moment toreflect on our country, its peo-ple, the things we take forgranted, and the things we areso thankful for - as Canadians,young and old, we really have agreat deal to be proud of andthankful for.

One of the other significantevents that took place duringthe opening ceremonies wasthe Citizenship Ceremony, theswearing in and welcoming ofnew Canadians. This year,under the watchful gaze of Mr.Roy Bonisteel (journalist,writer, former host of ‘ManAlive’, first Honorary Colonelof 8 AMS, and CitizenshipJudge) 34 new Canadians from16 different countries weresworn in and with the rest of usin attendance to witness, tookthe oath of reaffirmation.Quite moving as these individ-uals start their new lives asCanadians on our national day.

After the official cere-monies, it was time to recog-nize the some of the localyoung men, members of TheRoyal Canadian Regimentwho will be going to

Afghanistan in the next rota-tion. The goal of the ‘Mothersof Soldiers in The RoyalCanadian Regiment’ was toremind all in attendance thatsacrifices continue to be made -they also invited all other par-ents of soldiers, sailors, airmen,and airwomen to participate inthe following barbeque. Theevent was very well attended.

Our own MFRC tookadvantage of the day to remindpeople of the good work theydo in support of the troops athome and abroad. The ques-tions and support was heart-warming, and it produced yetanother banner to be sent tothe troops, reminding themthat they are not forgotten inthe hearts and minds ofCanadians.

So all that was left was thespectacular fireworks thatclosed the evening and, ofcourse, the national anthem,sung loud and clear for all tohear.

After all is said and done,what’s not to love aboutCanada? Not much, but in caseyou’ve drawn a blank, here arejust a few things to remind you.We Canadians love our healthcare and hockey. And don’tkeep us from our Tim Horton’scoffee — preferably withbeavertails and butter tarts.From the rolling Atlantic tothe Rocky Mountains, weboast about our hearty multi-culturalism and polite people.There are many things thatmake us proud to live in theGreat White North, includingour crazy Canadian weather.Sure, we complain about it, butwe really cherish beautifullycoloured leaves in the fall,snow-fort wars in winter, cher-ry blossoms in spring and lake-side vacations in the summer.10. Tim Hortons - “Coffeeaddicts unite! ... Who can resistrolling up the rim?” wrote

Anne Shelton of Toronto. Yes,we love Tim’s coffee, Timbits,Iced Capps, frozen cappucci-nos, sour cream cake and mapledoughnuts — spelled d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t-s, please, not d-o-n-u-t-s! 9. The beautiful CanadianRocky Mountains, “...stillmostly untouched. You can gohiking without running intocrowds of people.” 8. Freshwater - That includes our lakesto swim and fish in, cleandrinking water, rivers, streamsand ponds. 7. Hockey -Included in “Our Game” areCBC’s Hockey Night inCanada — both the show andits former theme song — aswell as national teams: TheVancouver Canucks,Edmonton Oilers, CalgaryFlames, Toronto Maple Leafs,Ottawa Senators, andMontreal Canadiens, Cheers toour women’s teams too. 6.Health care. 5. Freedom -We’re overwhelmingly gratefulfor our freedom of speech andreligion; for our nation’s inde-pendence and democracy, andfor our Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms. 4. Ourchanging seasons- “Canadiansenjoy talking about the weath-er and are often disgruntled bythe extreme heat and cold. 3.The Canadian character - Youdescribed Canadians as friend-ly, polite, generous, warm,open-minded, forgiving, hum-ble, welcoming, caring, curiousand honest. 2. The landscape -Vast, clean, diverse and green— those are some of the wordsyou used to describe our homeand native land. And...1.Multiculturalism - “From ourpeople, our landscape, our cul-ture(s), food, etc., the very fab-ric of Canada is a patchworkquilt, full of colours and tex-tures and richness.”

I hope that your CanadaDay was as rich as our coun-try’s.

On Thursday, June 5,2008 Colonel MikeHood, Commander, 8Wing/CFB Trenton,presided over the 8Wing/CFB Trenton 8thAnnual Sports AwardsCeremony held at theAstra Lounge, to tip ourhats to the fine athletes,coaches, officials and vol-unteers from June 1, 2007to the end of May 2008,who make our wing/basesports program so suc-

cessful. The Canadian Forces

has four levels of sportscompetitions.

The first level is thebase/wing sports pro-gram with the other lev-els being CF regional,national and CISM com-petitions.

Ontario RegionChampionship

There are five regions inthe CF – Atlantic,Quebec, Ontario, Prairieand Pacific.

There are a total of 14

sports played annually atthe Ontario regionallevel, with participantsfrom Trenton, Borden,Kingston, Petawawa,North Bay, London,Toronto and Meaford.

The winners of thesesports (with the excep-tion of bowling, golf andcurling), move on to rep-resent the Ontario regionat the CF NationalSports Championships,which are primarily heldat CFB Borden.

8 Wing/CFB Trentonhas been tremendouslysuccessful this past year at

the regional level.

Regional Gold

Winning gold at theregional championshipsis an extremely excitingand rewarding accom-plishment.

Not only are youdeclared the best in theOntario region, you arethen tasked with repre-senting the Ontarioregion at the CanadianForces National Champ-ionship.

This past year and a-half, Trenton has been

declared Ontario RegionChampions three times -a truly outstandingaccomplishment.

On behalf of all theathletes, volunteers andthe 8 Wing Fitness andSports Flight, I wouldlike to personally thankCol Hood, the COs,Branch Heads, theCWOs, supervisors andespecially the fellowworkers who usually pickup some of the extraworkload or changeshifts, for their contin-ued support of thewing/base sports pro-

gram. In these busy times of

operational commit-ments and shortage ofpersonnel, it is gratifyingthat our athletes, coach-es, managers, officialsand volunteers areafforded the necessarytime off to practice andprepare themselves sothat they can competecompetitively, while rep-resenting our base in var-ious sports competitions.

A special thanks alsogoes out to the Master ofCeremonies, Lieutenant-Colonel Frances Allen.

Remember, too, chil-dren (like adults) areoften mesmerized bythe open flames and willwant to “play” with thefire by poking it with astick or adding fuel tothe flames.

Teach your childrento respect fire. Your les-sons will be strength-ened by your own exam-ple.

Never leave childrenunsupervised around acampfire, even for a sec-ond.

Ensure a properadult/child ratio whengroups gather around a

campfire.Make a rule that

bans horseplay close to afire pit.

When building acampfire, do not usegasoline as a starter.

The flash flame fromigniting fuel-soakedmaterials can reach sev-eral feet beyond theperimeters of the fire pitand severely injurebystanders.

Build a fire suitableto the task at hand, andavoid huge bonfireswhen children are pres-ent.

Always be alert tochanging wind condi-tions and watch for fly-ing sparks and embers.Keep away from thedown wind side of a fire.

In addition to flashand flame burns, chil-dren are at risk forsevere contact burns,particularly at campfiresbuilt in sand pits.

Because ringed pitsresemble sandboxes,many children mistakethem for play equip-ment.

Children need to betaught that the stonesringing a fire pit becomeextremely hot and cannot only burn littlehands, but melt the bot-toms of shoes.

Be alert to hot coalsand embers that may flyoutside of the fireperimeter. This is a goodreason to ban bare feet

near a campfire.Often people extin-

guish pit fires by smoth-ering them with sand.

Unfortunately, thispractice can create anoven in which coalscontinue to burn forhours.

Children have sus-tained third degreeburns that have requiredskin grafts after contactwith the hot sand.

Extinguish all pitfires by dousing themwith water, stirring theashes, and pouring morewater over the site.

Repeat this proce-dure until the pit iscompletely extin-guished.

Most tents areincredibly flammable.Fatalities have occurredwhen tents in whichchildren were sleepingcaught fire.

Make sure childrendo not have matches ora lighter when they are“camping out.”

When cooking on acampfire, always pick uppots and pans with a potholder – and only afteryou know wherebystanders are, in rela-tionship to your plannedpath.

When roastingmarshmallows, assistyoung children. Nevershake a flaming marsh-mallow because it couldturn into a flying, flam-ing, napalm-like ball.

Camping and Fire Safety

(NC) Summer in Canada is synony-mous with water play and unfortunate-ly that can spell disaster.

Almost 500 Canadians die everyyear in water-related incidents.

Young victims who are less than fiveyears of age have an extremely high riskof drowning and are usually momen-tarily unsupervised when drowningsoccur.

As Canadians spend their summerat Canada's many lakes, rivers, beachesand pools, it is important to note thatmost drownings and near drowningsoccur in unsupervised outdoor water-ways.

The Lifesaving Society recom-mends that parents keep childrenunder five years of age within arm'sreach at all times.

Even leaving children unsupervisedmomentarily can prove hazardous asdrowning is often silent and can hap-pen in as little as 10 seconds.

The Lifesaving Society offers thesecrucial tips to keep safe during thesummer:

• Stay within arms' reach of chil-

dren - don't leave children unsuper-vised as drownings can occur in as lit-tle as 10 seconds

• Restrict access to backyard poolsand ensure there is a lockable gate andfence around the entire perimeter ofthe pool.

• Make sure children are wearing anapproved life-jacket or personal flota-tion device when playing near water.

• Lock all doors leading out to bod-ies of water and secure low windowsthat a child could crawl through.

• Establish rules that children mustfollow when near water.

• Closely supervise children withinflatable toys.

• Drain backyard wading pools andempty buckets of water when not inuse.

• Get trained! Enroll in a LifesavingSociety swimming and first aid train-ing course.

Following the simple guidelineslisted above, and visitinghttp://www.lifesavingsociety.com canhelp ensure a safe and enjoyable sum-mer.

Corporal Isaac President sees the challenge as more than just an opportunityto increase his physical fitness. “Knowing that it is the Highway of Heroes walk,[I’m] doing it out of respect, as well as competition. To be better against others,and with my girlfriend…I thought it would be a great challenge, and somethingto do with many others as a great cause.”

Cpl President mixes his physical activity, running, playing sports and liftingweights to get him up to his goal for the challenge. He has already completed theset 172 km distance for the challenge, but is planning to continue the challengebecause he sees it as a way to motivate himself to stay active.

Pedometer Challenge atthe halfway mark

(NC)-There are many myths andmisconceptions about arthritis - thatit’s an older person’s disease, that it’sjust a sign of getting older and eventhat it can be cured.

However, my experience as anurse in a rheumatologist’s office hastaught me just the opposite and I’mhere to set the record straight.

There are hundreds of types ofarthritis ranging from mild tochronic, and the most commondenominator for all is joint andmusculoskeletal pain.

Arthritis can affect people at anyage, however, the most prevalentform of arthritis is osteoarthritis(OA) - known as the “wear and tear”arthritis.

Regardless of severity, eacharthritis condition comes with itsown set of hurdles and for thosewho suffer from the condition; it isnever as simple as a few aches andpains. If you think you might havearthritis, talk to your physician fordiagnosis and treatment options.

Unfortunately, there is no curefor arthritis; however, there are waysto manage the condition, to slow itsprogression and improve overallquality of life. I encourage you totalk to your physician about a per-sonalized arthritis managementstrategy.

For many of those who sufferfrom arthritis, the best approachincludes a combination of physicalactivity, diet, and medication. Here’swhy a comprehensive plan worksbest:

Physical Activity: Although itseems counter-intuitive to exercisewhen you have pain, the muscles youbuild will help support your jointsand the exercise will keep jointsactive.

Diet: Eat well with Canada’sFood Guide and commit to makinghealthy food choices each day.

Losing 10 pounds can make adifference to your overall health andimpact on your joints.

Medications: Medication helps

to ease pain, allowing you to be moreactive. There are several medicationoptions for people with arthritis,including both over-the-counterand prescription NSAIDs.

Talk to your physician about howto proactively manage your pain.

As you’re adopting these healthyhabits set achievable goals to keepmotivated - think about short-termsuccess for long-term gain.

This will set you on the rightpath to achieve your arthritis painmanagement.

One year after bothclimbing Mount Everestand saving a life along theway, Captain MeaganMcGrath has justreturned from Nepal afteraccepting the KumarKhadga BikramAdventurous Award for2007 (The Golden IceAxe Award), from theNepal MountaineeringAssociation for her heroicefforts.

The award is present-ed as a certificate andmedallion.

The Air Force officerwas also awarded theEverest Jubilee Medalfrom the same associa-tion, which CaptMcGrath says has onlybeen given to “a handfulof Everest ‘Summiters’ noteveryone has received it.”The association first rec-ognized Capt McGrath’sactions last year by pre-senting her with a yellowscarf and bouquet of flow-ers, items that are used todenote special occasionsin Nepal.

The Golden Ice AxeAward was presented toCapt McGrath’s for help-ing to save the life ofNepalese climber UshaBista, who was found nextto a snow bank and neardeath on Mount Everestin May 2007.

Ms. Bista was suffer-ing from cerebral and pul-monary edema (swellingof the brain and lungsthat occurs at greatheights) as well as frost-bite.

Capt McGrath wasdescending Everest whenshe encountered Ms.Bista. After giving thestricken climber her oxy-gen, Capt McGrathenlisted the help of otherclimbers in the area.

They put Ms. Bistainto a sleeping bag,secured her to a sled andbrought her to the base ofthe 8,848 metre moun-tain, over ice and rock andthrough severe winds.

Ms. Bista battledfrostbite for days but sur-vived the incident.

“She lost some fin-gers,” says CaptMcGrath, “but she ‘sum-

mitted’ Everest this year.”The date of the awards

ceremony – May 29 – wasalso significant.

“It was the first everInternational MountEverest Day,” says Capt

McGrath, who adds thatthis annual event will beused to examine the eco-logical concerns of moun-tain climbing.

Capt McGrath is thefirst – and so far the only

– member of theCanadian Forces to scalethe world’s highest peak.

This year she also ranacross the MoroccanSahara Desert for sevendays and 245 km.

(NC)-It’s home renova-tion season in Canada!

If you’re thinkingabout a change, make yourrenovations about morethan just dramatic coloursand designer details: eco-friendly products can addlife and value to your realestate, save money byreducing energy use, andeven make your home ahealthier place to live in.

Look for theGovernment of Canada’sEcoLogo program sym-bol in purchasing prod-ucts for your next project!

The EcoLogo pro-gram verifies a productmeets specific environ-mental leadership stan-dards.

There are over 7,000products in Canadamarked with EcoLogo,including home andbuilding products.

See www.ecologo.orgfor more details.

Paint the town green.

Opt for paints and paintstrippers that contain lit-tle or no solvents. Forindoor jobs, use water- orclay-based paints to avoidreleasing volatile organiccompounds.

Sustainable flooring. Ifyou want carpeting, makesure it’s formaldehyde-free, and use a water-based adhesive for instal-lation. Better yet, chooseall-natural linoleum,durable hardwood, or newgreener options such asrapidly renewable - orreclaimed - wood or cork(which can be harvestedwithout damaging thetree).

Go natural. Whenshopping for new furni-ture, choose pieces madewith water-based varnishor stain, or visit consign-ment or antique shops tobring new life to “gentlyused” furnishings.

Save your energy. Cutyour energy costs by

installing low-flow toilets,ENERGY STAR quali-fied appliances, dimmerswitches, and ceiling fans.

Update the insulationin your walls and attic andseal all gaps around fix-tures, openings, doors andwindow frames with exte-rior caulk to keep yourplace cool through thesummer months.

The Government ofCanada’s ecoENERGYRetrofit - Homes pro-gram provides home and

property owners withgrants of up to $5,000 tooffset the cost of makingenergy efficiencyimprovements.

The average grant isclose to $1,000 and yields,on average, a 25 percentreduction in energy useand costs.

(NC)-Often times, homeowners 60 and older who arelooking to augment their monthly income are worriedabout their future financial, credit or medical situation,and whether they’ll be able to keep up with the regu-lar interest payments required by traditional creditproducts.

Fortunately, there is a solution that meets the needsof many seniors in Canada. With a variable interestrate guaranteed not to exceed Prime Rate plus 1.5 percent, Canadian Home Income Plan (CHIP) is provid-ing Canadians 60 plus with a simple and sensiblefinancial solution through their Best Rate PlannedAdvance offering.

CHIP’s planned advance option affords seniors theflexibility to turn $1,000 of their home equity into tax-free cash on a monthly basis.

Through this offering, seniors are able to maintainhome ownership while the equity of their house worksto manage day-to-day living expenses.

With the rate guaranteed not to exceed Prime Rateplus 1.5 per cent, seniors who access their home equi-ty regularly by way of various lines of credit may findthe CHIP solution to be an a appealing alternative.

(NC)-An increasing number ofCanadians are looking to extend theirhome decor outdoors in an attempt toharmonize their living spaces and bringbeauty and luxury to their exteriors.

To answer this need Sico Paints hasintroduced a new line of stains, includ-ing a translucent, high-end exteriorwood finish designed to bring the rich-ness of interior wood outside creating apleasant flow throughout your livingspaces.

“Outdoor entertaining is a growingtrend, and market studies show thatmore and more consumers are lookingfor luxury products to help beautifytheir exterior living spaces, from barbe-

ques to garden furniture to accessories,and wood stains are no exception,” saysDominique Pépin, Senior BrandManager of Sico, and a Chairholder ofthe international colour forecasterColor Marketing Group.

“Sico’s new coating adds lavishnessto a property by delivering a luxurious,exceptional wood finish that’s highend, both in looks and performance.”

Referring to the ExteriorTranslucent Wood Finish as “the ulti-mate choice for exterior wood,” Pépinexplains that the product is made usingan advanced technology that gives sur-faces a lush, wet look, appearing asthough they’ve been varnished.

It also contains unique, nano-sizepigments and ultraviolet ray absorbersthat provide maximum protectionagainst sun damage without having toapply a thick coat, so the wood grainsare completely visible yet well shielded.

Incorporating advanced alkydresins, Pépin says the new translucentwood finish has been demonstrated tolast longer than traditional products onall exterior wood surfaces – fromdecks, siding, fences and railings, toshutters, doors, windows, and outdoorfurniture.
