Search & RescueUPDATE

On August 1, both the squadron’s Hercules and Labrador were tasked to thearea of Sauble Beach, ON, for a possible capsized pleasure craft with one per-son on board. After an extensive search, the aircraft returned to base.The first day of August also saw our C-130 search for an Emergency LocatorTransmitter(ELT). The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre ( JRCC) called offthe mission when nothing was found.Finally this week, on Aug 4, the Labrador was sent north of Sudbury to airlifta 14-year old boy with a fractured femur. Due to poor weather, our helicopterwas delayed in reaching the scene--in the interim, an air ambulance in thevicinity managed to finish the tasking.That same day, the Hercules flew a mission that involved an ELT. After com-pleting the required expanding square search patterns at high and low alti-tudes, with nothing seen or heard, the plane returned to base.

Still months away from itsofficial unveiling, a newexhibit featuring a full-sizeSpitfire Mark 9 model hasalready been attractingplenty of attention frompatrons of the RoyalCanadian Air ForceMuseum.

The Spitfire is a replicaof one piloted by famousWorld War II fighter ace,Lloyd Chadburn.

“We chose (to feature)Chadburn because he wasa well liked, well decoratedpilot,” said Jodi Eskerrit,Museum Curator.

The airplane wasacquired from the UnitedKingdom thanks to gener-ous financial assistancefrom the Fighter PilotsAssociation and WestonFoundation.

“It was quite a saga get-ting the aircraft over here,”joked Eskerrit, “When itwas first ready to beshipped, the Hoof andMouth issue happenedand all exports werestopped. Then the war in

Afghanistan started and ahalt was put on shipping.”

Once the model finallydid arrive, work needed tobe done on the undercar-riage and canopy.Members of ATESSadded their expertise to apaint job that proudly dis-plays the colours ofChadburn’s 416 Squadron.

Chadburn’s impressivecareer in the RoyalCanadian Air Force beganin 1940 when, after manyfailed attempts to enlist, hewas accepted as an air gun-ner. He soon re-musteredas a pilot and was shippedoverseas to join No. 112(Army Cooperation)Squadron. After almostseven months of serving asa non-operationalsquadron that providedreinforcements to No. 1Squadron flying fighters or110 (AC) Squadron flyingLysanders, No. 112 wasredesignated as No. 2(Fighter) Squadron andequipped with the HawkerHurricane MK Is.Chadburn made his firstoperational flight in aHurricane during March1941 and, along with 11other pilots, took part in

the first offensive opera-tion carried out by anRCAF unit over enemy-held territory.

Chadburn finally gothis shot in the cockpit of aSpitfire when he trans-ferred to the newly formedNo. 412 Squadron. He waslater moved to No. 19Squadron where he earnedthe distinction of being theyoungest pilot to everbecome flight commander.

Although he hadcountless successful mis-sions to his credit,

Chadburn is well knownfor one that saved manyCanadian and allied lives.On August 19th, 1942,Squadron LeaderChadburn led 416 (Lynx)Squadron over a convoyheading for the beach inDieppe. The squadron wasattacked unexpectantlyfrom the rear by a forma-tion of 15 Focke-Wulf190s. Chadburn quicklybrought his squadron intoa tight turn, bringing theGerman aircraft in front.Three 15 Focke-Wulf190’s were gunned down.

Still tasked with theduty of protecting the con-voy, Chadburn’s squadronled a head-on attackagainst seven Junkers JU88bombers and a group ofMesserschmitt Mel 10s. Intotal the Squadronbrought down 14 Germanplanes, without sustainingdamage to any of their air-craft. Chadburn’s skill andleadership of the Squadronduring that mission earnedhim the Distinguished

Flying Cross and his menthe reputation of being themost successful (RCAF)fighter squadron of the day.

Sadly, Chadburn’s lifeended suddenly on June13, 1944 when his aircraftcollided with anotherSpitfire. Chadburn waspatrolling with his wingbetween the front linesand the sea near Caen,France at the time. Hislegacy lives on at theRCAF Museum.

Ah, August! Just a monthaway from the wake-upcall of Labour Day, butabsolutely prime time incottage country. Andwhether that means theMuskokas for you, or theSouth Shore or theQu’Appell Valley, there issomething fundamentalhappening to recreation-al real estate.

Prices have hit newhistoric highs in mostparts of the country, atthe same time as demandis soaring. Just seven percent of the Canadianpopulation currentlyowns a cottage, hobbyfarm or place on the lake,but the forecast is formore people than ever tobe buying into the ruraldream over the nextdecade.

So, that suggests peo-ple purchasing a recre-ational property now -even at the most outra-geous prices in history -are probably doing some-thing that’s financiallysound. In fact, there areeven arguments forbelieving that cottageswill outperform housesfor the foreseeablefuture.

Why is this happen-ing? Mostly, it’s a func-tion of demographics.There are nine millionCanadian Baby Boomers- the largest single seg-

ment of the population -now comfortably intotheir fifties. This is aperiod in life when mostpeople earn, and spend,the greatest amount ofmoney in their entirelives. It’s also a timewhen thoughts arespawned about retire-ment lifestyle and, over-whelmingly, most of usopt for a rural rather thanan urban setting for that.

Then there is the verynature and background

of the Boomers them-selves - a pampered, cod-dled, egocentric andvaguely idealistic crowdwho grew up on EasyRider, nuts-and-berries,opting out and back-to-the-land. It’s no wonder,looking at the graying,bulging, defiant lot of usthat sales of HarleyDavidsons and sales ofcottage properties havenever been higher than atthis present moment.

Layered on that is thelegacy of Nine Eleven. In

a world where buildingscan be attacked and turnto dust, where it is dan-gerous and uncomfort-able to fly, and whenmystery illnesses canhold an entire metropoli-tan area hostage formonths, is it really anywonder people want toget the heck out of town?

So, the stampede intothe country will contin-ue, and buyers todayshould see solid year-over-year price apprecia-tions for a long time tocome. But, as with allother real estate, oneneeds to be careful aboutchoices. Lakefront orriverfront properties willalways demand a premi-um. You should buy in anestablished area withinfrastructure like roads,schools and shopping.

Always invest in four-season properties withyear-round access. Bewise about testing theflow of a water pump, thelegality of a septic systemand the potability of thewater. Never buy withouta recent survey beingprovided, and be wiseabout how you finance.

In general, you havefour options. First (andcheapest) is to raid yourRRSP or investmentaccount, and to buy forcash. This will not only

save you in interest pay-ments, but it could wellinduce the seller to giveyou the place for a littleless.

Second (and this is byfar the most popular wayto get financing), you canborrow against the equityin your principal resi-dence in the city. Most ofthe major lenders willhappily give you up to 75per cent (in some cases90 per cent) of the valueof your home to purchasea cottage. The moneyusually comes at a verydecent rate, because it isfully secured by your realestate. But, of course, it’sstill a mortgage that willhave to be paid off whenyou sell your city house.

Third, you can get aconventional mortgagefrom just about anylender. Just a few yearsago, this was a pooroption, since the bankswould charge a premiumrate for out-of-town pur-chases, and given you alower loan-to-value ratio.But no more. If your cot-tage is year-round and ina good area, then lots ofmoney is available to buyit.

Finally, consider avendor take-back mort-gage. In hot real estatetimes, these are a littleharder to come by, but it’salways an option worthconsidering. You get theseller to hold paper onthe house, and just payfor it monthly. If youwelch, then the vendorjust gets his place back.

Whatever your strate-gy, this is shaping up tobe a decade in which itseems you can hardly gowrong getting rural.

Imagine prehistoric caveparents watching in horroras their offspring find vari-ous ways to risk life andlimb with the new-fangledwheel.

Those parents mightsympathize with theirmodern counterpartswhose children remain fas-cinated by things withwheels including bicycles,scooters, in-line skates, andskateboards.These days wehave good information andgood safety gear. I’d like toshare some tips on how tokeep our kids safe this sum-mer and all the rest of theyear.

Children get hurt mostoften when they ride orskate near cars or othervehicles, especially whenthey do not use safety gear.Beginners who are justlearning to bike or ride areat greater risk than thosewith more experience.However, even a seasonedbiker or skater risks injurywhen he or she goes toofast or tries stunts.

Watch your child. Thechild should be able to keephis or her balance, controlspeed, and ride or skate in astraight line. Your childshould also be able to turnand to stop without losingcontrol or falling.He or sheshould notice other peopleor things and be able toavoid running into them.Another important skill isthe ability to look over theshoulder without losingcontrol.

Research shows thatkids younger than 10 havetrouble staying safe on abike near cars and othervehicles. They just don’thave the physical skills, nor

do they understand whatcar drivers expect. Childrenless than 10 should not ridetheir bicycles in traffic.Over age 10, kids needgood training and lots ofpractice before riding onthe road. My advice to par-ents is to supervise kidswhile they practice theirskills in a safe place.

Here’s a quick checklistof safety gear for kids onwheels:

Bicycle riders shouldwear a helmet.Fit is impor-tant. The helmet shouldnot move around whenyour child shakes or moveshis or her head. It shouldcover the top of the fore-head just above the eye-brows and sit level. Sidestraps should fit around theears in a “V” shape. Whenhe or she is seated on thebike, your child’s toesshould touch the ground.

Scooter riders shouldfollow the same helmetadvice and add elbow andknee pads. Your childshould be able to hold thescooter’s handlebars with-out leaning forward.

In-line skaters shouldwear helmets, knee, elbow,and wrist pads. Skatesshould be the same size asyour child’s shoes. Skatesthat are too large are notsafe.

Skateboarders shouldwear special helmets thatcover more of the back ofthe head.

Like skaters, theyshould wear knee, elbow,and wrist pads.Your child issafer on a small board withsmall wheels while learn-ing.

While protecting yourchild’s bones from breaksand skin from scrapes,don’tforget to add sun protec-tion. It’s best to reduce sunexposure between 11a.mand 4 p.m. Seek shade orcreate some of your own.Remember to slip! slap!slop! By that I mean, slipon clothing to cover thearms and legs. Slap on awide-brimmed hat whenthe helmets come off andslop on a sunscreen with asun protection factor (SPFfor short) of 15 or higher.

Keep babies under oneyear out of direct sun.Theirdelicate skin burns veryeasily.

For yourself and yourchildren, remember tan-ning parlours and sunlampsare not a good idea. A tanindicates skin damage.

Follow these tips andyou and your kids shouldroll through summer safely.For more information, seeSafe Kids Canada at or call1-888-SAFE TIPS.

According to the U.S. Consumer ProductSafety Commission, in recent years an aver-age of about 250 children under 5 years olddrowned in pools nationwide annually.

More than half of these deaths occurredin the summer months. Among uninten-tional injuries (aka accidents),drowning is thesecond leading cause of death to this agegroup after motor vehicle incidents.Another2,700 children are treated in hospital emer-gency rooms each year for near-drowningincidents. Most cases involve residentialpools.

“Most people assume if their young childfalls into the pool,there will be lots of splash-ing and screaming, and plenty of time toreact,” said commission Chairman HalStratton.“In reality,a child slips into the waterand often goes under the surface. Thesedrownings can happen quickly and silently -without warning.”

The key to preventing these tragedies isto have layers of protection. This includesplacing barriers around your pool to preventaccess, using alarms on doors that access thepool,and being prepared in case of an emer-gency.

Though it seems obvious, close supervi-sion of young children is vital for familieswith a home pool - and not just when out-side using the pool. A common scenario isthat young children leave the house withouta parent or caregiver realizing it.Children aredrawn to water, not knowing the terribledanger pools can pose.Also,just because chil-dren know how to swim, doesn’t mean theyare drown-proof. All children should besupervised every second while in and aroundthe pool.

The commission offers these additionaltips to prevent drowning:

- Fences and walls should be at least four

feet high and installed completely around thepool. Fence gates should be self-closing andself-latching. The latch should be out of asmall child’s reach.Keep furniture that couldbe used for climbing into the pool area awayfrom fences.

- If your house forms one side of the bar-rier to the pool, then doors leading from thehouse to the pool should be protected withalarms that produce a sound when a door isunexpectedly opened.

- A power safety cover —a motor-pow-ered barrier that can be placed over the waterarea—can be used when the pool is not inuse.

- Keep rescue equipment by the pool andbe sure a phone is poolside with emergencynumbers posted.Knowing cardiopulmonaryresuscitation (CPR) can be a lifesaver.

- Don’t leave pool toys and floats in thepool or pool area that may attract young chil-dren to the water.

- For above-ground pools, steps and lad-ders to the pool should be secured andlocked, or removed when the pool is not inuse.

- If a child is missing, always look in thepool first.Seconds count in preventing deathor disability.

- Pool alarms can be used as an addedprecaution. Look for alarms that meet therequirements of the ASTM standard--useremote alarm receivers so the alarm can beheard inside the house or in other places awayfrom the pool area.

- To prevent body entrapment and hairentanglement, have a qualified pool profes-sional inspect the drain suction fittings andcovers on your pool and spa to be sure thatthey are the proper size and properly attached

ON A CHAINI wish someone would tell me what it is that I’ve done wrong.Why I have to stay chained up and left alone so long.They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup.There were so many things we would do, while I was growingup.The children said they’d feed me, and brush me every day.They’d play with me and walk with me--if only I could stay.But now the family “Hasn’t Time”, they often say I shed.They do not want me in the house, not even to be fed.The children never walk me, they always say “Not Now”I wish that I could please them--won’t someone tell me how?All I had, you see, was love--I wish they would explainWhy they said they WANTED ME, then left meON A CHAIN.

Joint Task Force South West Asia Public Affairs

MacDill Air Force Base, Fla. - (July 29, 2003)Colonel Chris J.Henneberry today assumedcommand of the Canadian ForcesSouthwest Asia Theatre Support Base, anestablished unit with a new name and a newmission: providing support to the CanadianForces (CF) units and formations nowdeploying to Afghanistan on OperationATHENA.

“The Theatre Support Base will have asingle focus: to provide the best possible levelof support to our deployed soldiers inAfghanistan,” said Col. Henneberry. “Theirmission is extremely demanding, and theywill be relying on us to provide support in atimely manner.”

Previously known as National SupportUnit (NSU) in Operation APOLLO, theCanadian Forces Southwest Asia TheatreSupport Base will become an integral part ofOp ATHENA on August 16.This changeindicates the key role this unit will play insupporting the 1,900-strong Canadian con-tingent that will serve with OP ATHENA.

“As the NSU, these 300 plus CF mem-bers operating in the Arabian Gulf regionhave done an outstanding job in providingairlift, centralized logistics and administra-tion support to our forward deployed per-sonnel engaged in the campaign against ter-rorism,” said Brigadier-General Dennis C.Tabbernor, Commander of the CanadianJoint Task Force Southwest Asia, whichcomprises all CF units and formationsdeployed on Operation APOLLO. “Theshift to supporting Op ATHENA is not ofconcern,but the extreme working conditionsof the desert environment will remain a

major challenge.”Although Op ATHENA will be its pri-

mary focus, the Canadian Forces SouthwestAsia Theatre Support Base will continue toprovide some support to units deployed onOp APOLLO, specifically the frigateHMCS Fredericton.

Formed on April 17,2002,the NSU wasresponsible for feeding,clothing and housingCF soldiers, sailors and Air Force personnelin the OP APOLLO theatre of operations,and providing CF units with the logisticaland administrative support they needed tocarry out their tasks. At the peak of OpAPOLLO, the NSU supported the 3rdBattalion,Princess Patricia’s Canadian LightInfantry Battle Group at Kandahar,Afghanistan, the Canadian Naval TaskGroup operating in the Arabian Sea-Arabian Gulf region, and two Air Forceunits operating in the Arabian Gulf region:the Long Range Patrol Detachment and theTactical Airlift Detachment. It also partici-pated crucially in Operation IRIS, Canada’scontribution to the rebuilding of Iraq, andOperation CARAVAN, the Canadian par-ticipation in the deployment of the UNpeace mission in the Democratic Republicof Congo.

Before deploying to the Arabian Gulfregion, Col. Henneberry’s most recentassignment was at MacDill Air Force Base,Fla., where he served as Chief of Staff atCanadian Joint Task Force South West AsiaHeadquarters. Col. Henneberry’s predeces-sor, the last Commanding Officer of theNSU, was Col. Jacques Leblanc of 1Canadian Air Division in Winnipeg. Col.Henneberry is a pilot with 27 years of serv-ice, much of it flying the CP-140 Auroramaritime patrol aircraft.

New Commander for CF Support Base OFF TO AFGHANISTAN

Over 2,000 troops from Canada will take part in Operation Athena over thenext year as part of this country’s contribution to the International SecurityAssistance Force (ISAF). The mission of ISAF is to help maintain security inKabul and the surrounding areas so that the Afghan Transitional Authority(ATA) and UN agencies can function. It also includes liaison with political,social and religious leaders to ensure that ISAF operations appropriatelyrespect religious, ethnic and cultural sensitivities in Afghanistan.

The Treasury Board has long stated that sheltercharges for Crown-owned housing must reflectmarket rates in the local economy; it is the policy ofthe government for all Crown-owned housing, notjust the CF. The aim is to respect the principle offairness for all CF personnel regardless of wherethey live. We do this by ensuring that the 25% ofmilitary families living in CF housing do not receivea benefit that is not available to the 75% of their col-leagues living on the private market in the samecommunity.

To determine up-to-date market rents for CFfamily housing, the Canada Mortgage and HousingCorporation (CMHC), evaluates the housing at allCF sites against comparable housing in the localeconomy. First and foremost, the appraiser collectsand researches local real estate market data includ-ing the availability of rental properties, turnover andvacancy rates, terms and conditions of leases and anyother factors which may influence the market in aparticular community. This data is obtained fromnumerous sources including property managers,newspapers, owners, realtors, developers, rentalmagazines, data services, fee appraisers and munici-palities.

CMHC appraisers then estimate the degree ofsimilarity or difference between the specific marriedquarter and comparable rental properties by consid-ering various elements such as type and size of thehouse, its age and condition, and the location of thehouse with regard to access to schools, communityfacilities and transportation. The appraiser isolatesand reviews each element one at a time, developingdollar or percentage adjustments to account for eachdifference. The final step in determining the appro-priate market rent is taking the results of the datacollection and the analysis of comparable marketrental properties and reconciling this informationinto a single rent figure. This figure becomes theBase Shelter Value (BSV) for the married quarter.The annual review by CMHC ensures that marriedquarter shelter charges are always current and movewith the cycles in the local housing markets.

Where shelter charges for CF housing are lessthan local market values, shelter charges areincreased in a phased manner.

The restrained phasing introduced by CFHA in1997 limited increases for current occupants to $20,

$30 or $35 per month while new occupants paid theBase Shelter Value (BSV) or $50 more per monththan the previous occupant. This restrained phasingrecognized the significant difference that existed atthe time between married quarter shelter chargesand market rents, as well as a pay shortfall for CFmembers due to the pay freeze. With the significantCF pay increases from 1997 to 2003 and the intro-duction of the Post Living Differential (PLD) in2000, the justification for the restrained phasing nolonger exists.

Consequently, with the approval of ArmedForces Council (AFC), CFHA implemented theTreasury Board phasing limits for current occupantsof CF married quarters on 1 September 2001.

However, due to changes to Treasury Boardguidelines, the limits that will be applied starting 1November 2003 will be in accordance with QR& OAppendix 4.1. QR&O Appendix 4.1 states that:“where annual increases in shelter charges exceed thatyear’s market rate of escalation for the locality and aredue to no fault of the occupant, the increase in themonthly rate shall be limited to one half of one percent ofthe occupant’s annual salary or $100.00 per month,whichever is less”. In this way, CFHA will continuewith phasing to a maximum of $100.00 rather thaneffect sudden increase to shelter charges.

The impact of phasing differs considerably fromsite to site, depending on historical factors, the com-

position of the occupant population and the exis-tence of provincial rent controls in Manitoba andOntario. Provincial rent controls are applied to theBSV established annually by CMHC and reflect therent limits applied to local private-sector rentalhousing. Where married quarter shelter charges arebelow the BSV, the annual shelter charge increasesmay be more than the provincial rent control per-centage.

Treasury Board policy limits shelter charges forCrown-owned housing (net of utilities and off-property garage charges) to 25% of gross familyincome. This policy applies across the board.

Similar to what happens with private marketrents, MQ shelter charges are reviewed and adjustedannually. Rent increases are normal practice in boththe civilian market place and the married quarterson base. Military pay increases are not linked tomarried quarter shelter charge increases any morethan civilian rent increases are related to civilianrenters’ pay raises.

To accommodate the annual posting cycle, shel-ter charges are adjusted on 1 November, with occu-pants being given three months’ notice of anychanges. In July 2003, CFHA Housing Managerswill advise each current occupant, in writing, of theirshelter charge effective 1 November 2003.

Shelter charge adjustments for Married Quarters

WINNIPEG – The Canadian Forces CF-18Hornet fleet logged its 500,000th hour at an airshowin Comox, B.C. on Sunday, July 27. Capt. Travis“Brass” Brassington, a pilot from 4 Wing in ColdLake, Alta. flew the CF-18 that attained this hon-our.

“Canada has been flying the Hornets since 1982and we just celebrated our 20th anniversary lastyear,” said Capt. Brassington. “This is a significantamount of hours considering the average CF-18mission takes one hour. That equals about 400,000flights or potential missions.”

The CF-18 that attained this honour has 4,330hours and is easily recognized by its tiger motif paintscheme created for the 2003 air show season.

Canada’s Air Force has 92 CF-18 aircraft basedat 3 Wing in Bagotville, Que. and 4 Wing in ColdLake, Alta. The twin engines of this supersonicfighter-bomber jet delivers over 7,000 kilograms ofthrust and can reach speeds of up to Mach 1.8, orover 2,000 kilometres per hour.

The CF-18 plays a critical role in the air defenceof North America under the bi-lateral NORADagreement, a role that has evolved considerably sincethe events of Sept. 11, 2001. Additionally, as a mem-ber of NATO and the United Nations, Canadadeploys the CF-18s deploys on operations aroundthe world such as the1999 Kosovo conflict and theGulf War in 1991.

The fitness and health pro-fession is on the cusp ofperhaps the greatest revo-lution ever. Before theindustrial revolution, manfulfilled his exercise needsthrough physical work.Rest was the reward ofworking. Today, in theinformation age,people getlittle or no exercise fromanything they do. Work isnot enough.

People need physicalactivity. One half hour sixtimes a week or one hourthree times a week, willgreatly improve cardio-vascular fitness, strength,flexibility, stress reductionand general health - resultsthat they use to get fromboring, repetitive physicaltasks in the workplace. Inaddition, their overallresults are better becausethey can choose to work onall different components oftheir physical fitness.

The mainstream popu-lation is really just becom-ing aware of this shift inthinking. You only have tocheck out the shelves atbookstores to realize howmany more magazines aredevoted to physical activitynow, than five years ago.

Compared to ten yearsago,a whole new vision hasemerged.

At 8 Wing/CFBTrenton, we are indeedvery fortunate to be on thecutting edge of the fitnessrevolution. With our 25meter pool, Gymnasiumand the Arena, we trulyhave the finest fitness,sports and recreation facil-ities in the Quinte Region.However, these facilitiesare completely useless ifthey sit empty and are notutilized to their fullestpotential with diversifiedprograms and activities -something for everyone.

The PSP Fitness andSports Flight’s mandate isto provide a variety of pro-grams and activitiesdesigned to motivate andchallenge you in your questfor fun and fitness. Webelieve we have the pro-grams in place but we’relooking for customers. Sure,our sports leagues are filledup and everybody doestheir CF EXPRES test butour programs are muchmore than that.

Back to the grind...and inevitably the gym

Wednesday, August 6

After two weeks of totaling slacking off while onholidays, I practically crawled through the frontdoors of the gym in utter shame yesterday.

My grand idea of staying active during my vaca-tion was completely blown out of the water thanksto inclement weather and a veil of good ole’ mar-

itime fog that failed to lift the entire week we werein New Brunswick. The only exercise I did get wasduring a trip to the Toronto Zoo last week. It’samazing how much cardio is involved in keeping upwith a toddler intent on getting to the monkeycages ten seconds after getting through the frontgates.

Not only did I miss the boost of much-neededenergy that generally comes from a good workout, Imissed the stress relief it provides. After fifteenhours in a car with a two-year-old who has yet todiscover his “indoor voice”, I could have done atleast an hour on the elliptical just to alleviate thebuilding frustration.

Although I can barely lift my arms up highenough to reach the keyboard this morning, I amextremely thankful I made it to the gym yesterday.

Believe me, after staying away as long as I did, ittook a lot of self-motivation to get there! Luckilythe fact that my clothes seem to have shrunk whileI was out of province provided the extra push Ineeded.

As some as you may know, my trainer extraordi-naire, Jen Lecuyer, has left for a six-month “deploy-ment” to Bosnia. Based on the past few weeks, I canhonestly say…I’m in big trouble. Not only have Ineglected to keep up with my weight and cardio ses-sions, but also my cheat days have once again turnedinto cheat weeks. It definitely goes to show that badhabits die-hard. It’s an incredibly difficult task tochange a lifestyle you’ve had for over 25 years. Iguess it all comes down to one decision - letting asetback get the best of you or make you stronger.The way I figure it, I’ve held on this long…

Buying a home away from home(NC)—Canadian cottageowners are on the rise butso too are the prices topurchase these homesaway from home. If set-tling into a piece of para-dise is at the top of yourwish list now or for retire-ment, it’s important tohave a plan in place tohelp make this dream areality.

Approximately 8% ofCanadians are currentlycottage owners, accordingto the Royal LePageRecreational PropertyReport 2003. And withinthe next three years, 6%more are likely to purchasea cottage or recreationalproperty, the report says.

Spending summers ata cottage is possible withcareful financial planning,says Joanna Saar, aMississauga-based finan-cial adviser with CIBCImperial Service. Sheoffers these insights toconsider:

Buying or renting: Ifyou decide to buy a cot-tage,make sure to factor inthe costs above andbeyond the purchase price.This includes propertytaxes and possibly extrainsurance and fuel costs ifyou require a new vehicle

that can handle the roughterrain of some countryroads. And if your cottageis near the water, Saar saysyou may need funds forany water sport vehicles orequipment that doesn’talready come with the cot-tage, as well as the appro-priate insurance. You mayalso need to plan for extracosts such as health insur-ance, if the cottage is outof the province or country.“It’s all about planningand budgeting,” says Saar,who adds that cottagebuyers may need to factorin the added time andcosts to maintain theproperty. “Some cottagebuyers are surprised by thecosts to maintain cottages,particularly older ones,”she explains.

If you have enoughmoney to buy, but are notsure you are ready for thecommitment of owning acottage, renting may beanother option, says Saar.“By renting, you can testout this lifestyle beforeinvesting significantamounts of money. And ifyou choose to rent overthe long term, you canredirect that large amountof capital into other areasof finances such as paying

the mortgage on yourprincipal residence, payingdown other debts orinvesting for retirement.”

Home or investment:If you own a cottage nowbut are not yet ready toretire there, Saar says rent-ing out the cottage to paythe mortgage may be anoption. Rent for as manyweeks as you wish andenjoy your property on theoff-weeks.Then,when theproperty is paid for and it’stime to retire, you canenjoy it for the entire sum-mer or in some cases, theentire year. Saar also notesthat current low interestrates and high marketvolatility may make recre-ational real estate invest-ments, such as cottages,very appealing. She cau-tions: “A good financialplan stands the test oftime no matter what theinvestment climate. Hastyinvestment decisionswithout proper planningcould prove costly.Cottage prices may be onthe rise now but just likethe stock market, realestate goes in cycles, too.”

This article is intendedto provide general informa-tion and should not be con-strued as specific advice.

A shed tocall your

own(NC)—Thinking of a lit-tle private space to callyour own? Add a pottingshed, garden office, studioor workshop to your out-door life and turn it intoyour personal sanctuaryand source of pride.Adhere to the saying, “aplace for everything andeverything in its place” tohelp you select the perfectoutdoor structure for yourhome; one that willdelight visitors and offerpractical functionality toyou and your family.

Here are some tips toensure that your outdoorstructure suits your needs:

• To help determinethe size you need, beginyour planning process bymaking a list of all thefunctions you would likeyour structure to serve.

• Consider partition-ing the structure if youhave a variety of needssuch as potting/storageshed requirements andstudio space.

• In selecting a loca-tion, be aware of youraccess to natural light,ventilation and electricityand water (do you need ahose or do you want toplumb it for a sink or toi-let)?

• Always buy quality.In the long run, you’ll savemoney, since well-builtstructures have a longerlife and resilient roofs andsiding that will surviveeven the harshest weatherconditions.

Aesthetics are impor-tant; you may choose tohighlight your structure ormake it a secret hideaway.Your choice! Whateveryou decide, make sure youlook at photos of manyother outdoor structuresto get a sense of the count-less options available.
