BARRY MOYLE
Letter From Pro
Last year presented the Board of Directors of the Police Retirees of Ontario (PRO) with a tremendous loss and a time of re-focus and re-distribution of talents.
After the shocking loss of our former President and Chairman, Barry Moyle, we were able to gather our troops and determine a new, exciting focus for both our organization and our board of directors. We each knew that Barry had a strategic vision for this organization to ensure we were able to commit to our mandate and not only establish an organization dedicated to serving retired law enforcement personnel of every rank and classification, their spouses, the widow and widowers of both active and retired law enforcement personnel.
Our Hero bear program has not only been well received, but has also made the lives of many children a little brighter in times of dire need. We have, this year alone, distributed thousands of bears to various police departments, homeless shelters, victim shelters and more. We are not only proud to be part of this incredible organization but to also continue to grow and achieve even more in the years to come.
We had a collective vision which we all will continue to grow, nurture and develop. We re-organized the team and also look forward to growing our team further, creating new and exciting vehicles to communicate with the folks we serve and continuing to raise funds to help where they are needed the most.
We truly believe that by continuing the legacy that was left before us and introducing brand new ideas we will be able to grow and serve our members even more!
We welcome your feedback and thank you for your continued support,
Wendy Cummins Laura MoyleCo-Chairwoman Co-Chairwoman

DroneThe DJI Phantom 2 drone is representative of some of the hobby drones available to average consumers. - Carlos Osorio, Toronto Star
The OPP is increasingly relying on unmanned aerial vehicles – known generically as ‘drones’ – for traffic collision reconstruction, among other uses. The example pictured here is produced by Waterloo-based Aeryon Labs, a company that supplies the OPP with UAVs. - Aeryon Labs
An eye in the sky is becoming an increasingly popular tool in the OPP’s arsenal. Known in technical parlance as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) – but more commonly described as a drone – these flying crafts are proving useful on several investigative fronts, says OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes. The provincial force is frequently employing the airborne vehicles to help clear accident scenes in rapid fashion, when compared with traditional approaches. “There is a huge tie-in to using technology to speed up the process of (clearing) traffic collisions,” Hawkes told Simcoe.com.
Where officers previously spent hours documenting the scene of a multi-vehicle collision, UAVs can now be flown in to snap detailed images of the vehicles involved from multiple angles. “They are such great quality, you can take measurements right off them,” Hawkes said of the resulting images. “You can clear a scene considerably faster, which means the highway gets opened faster, which means people are on their way, which means the economy still rolls down the highway, from that perspective.”
An aerial view provides an added dimension as police attempt to determine the cause of a collision on a major highway, for example.Hawkes noted such investigations are often complex and include evidence that can lead to potential criminal and civil charges. “We still have to do our jobs to the best of our ability, but now we are going to utilize a tool that will allow us to do things faster,” he added. The aerial crafts are also being deployed on search-and-rescue missions.
“We have qualified pilots that run them, and it is really an advancement of some positive technology that will help law enforcement,” Hawkes added.Police operate the crafts via a tablet-based system, of which there are two versions, said Const. Tom Laing, coordinator of the provincial UAV program.

“We have a Draganflyer system, which has the traditional remote capability, where the operator can actually fly it like your typical radio-controlled plane that you’d imagine,” Laing said.
Another system, produced by Waterloo-based Aeryon Labs, uses a touch-screen control to direct the craft to a destination through Google maps.
“Basically, you are clicking on a point in space on the map and telling it to go,” Laing said. “Once it is there, it just hovers there and you can control the camera and move things around as you please. If you need it to move somewhere else, you just click on the next point and off it goes there.”
The second system is a two-person operation, with one controlling the UAV and the other tracking the craft to ensure it doesn’t interfere with other aircraft or people. The Draganflyer system requires three people: one to fly the unit, one to control the camera and a safety officer, Laing said.
Four of those units are used by the OPP’s forensic identification program, mainly for crime scene photography. “If they are closer, they can also (take images of) a barricaded person, hostage situation, a scene survey, that kind of thing,” he said.
Three Aeryon Scouts are employed for emergency response and traffic accident reconstruction.Thousands of images are taken from multiple angles and compiled into a 3-D model.
“From the model, on the computer screen, you can measure point-to-point using your mouse to within an accuracy of about three
millimeters,” Laing said. “Instead of seven hours of highway closure, it could be one hour.”
Systems used by the OPP range from about $60,000 to $200,000 depending on features, he added.
Hawkes anticipates the OPP will have 11 UAVs in use across the province by the end of 2016.

What to Do When Your SWEETHEART RETIRES BEFORE YOUHow to plan for retirement when your schedules don’t align.By Katrina Caruso
Most couples (93%) don’t retire at the same time, according to a 2016 survey by Saga Investment Services. The primary reason cited for the discrepancy was that one romantic partner wanted to continue to be in the workforce longer than the other did, and the second most cited reason was that one partner needed to keep working due to differences in income. This gap in retirement timing can make things complicated for couples. It can lead to resentment, a lack of aligned priorities, and a period of adjustment that may make some folks uneasy or insecure in their partnership.
What can be done?Retirement can be the ideal time for partners to come together and realign their goals and priorities, including those related to the relationship. Couples should be communicating openly about the changing dynamic in the relationship and about their expectations.
Many people retire only to find themselves somewhat lost. For many, leaving a job behind means leaving behind an identity. They begin to feel isolated and no longer important, that they no longer have something to contribute to society.
This can cause a chasm in the relationship and lead to a dissolution of shared ideals. One partner continuing to have a daily routine while the other now has none can create a disconnect.
THE IDEAL SITUATIONis to have the conversations about one’s fears about retirement’s consequences before the time comes.This will ease the adjustment period.
INVOLVED BECAUSE WE CARE • 17
A few questions to ask:• What is something we can do together for fun?• What does my partner want their retirement to look like? What
do I want?• What are my partner’s needs? What are mine?• How can we avoid hurting each other in this change?• What can we both stop doing today that makes the other
miserable?• What changes to the household responsibilities can • we make?• What isn’t currently working for us?
THE GOAL IS TO FIND A WAY FOR BOTH PARTNERS TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS AND HOPES, and also to find common ground which both partners can get behind, and about which they can be excited.
It’s important for the partner who retires first to realize that the changes in the couple’s lifestyle will affect the partner who continues to work. This may become time to re-evaluate household chores, start a new hobby (with or without the partner), and find other ways to support the working partner. This is not the time to start tiptoeing around each other’s feelings: retirement is the time to refocus and redevelop that spark in the relationship.

SeniorsAnd The Real Estate Market(or an old farts perspective on real estate)
Corinne Nezic, [email protected] RepresentativeSutton Group About Town Realty Inc., Brokerage
I am a Real Estate Sales Representative, and I buy and sell home for clients of all ages, however – when I was asked to write this article, I asked myself, as a 60 year old what am I facing today and what should I expect in the upcoming years? It was timely, because I myself just put our home up for sale, to move to somewhere more “senior friendly” and I struggled with many questions that I believe many active retiree homeowners face, as time passes.
SO LET’S STATE SOME GOOD OLD FACTS- Did you know that nearly half of Canadians are Baby Boomers and retirees , according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Seniors are a growing segment of our population. The Baby Boomer generation is heading into their senior years, but many still feel young and vibrant. Many of todays Seniors are more active than the Seniors of yesteryear. According to Statistics Canada, 260,000 people retire every year, and by 2031 nearly 1 in 4 Canadians will be over the age of 65. A recent survey found that 83% would prefer to stay in their home as long as possible. Many seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home, or “aging in place”.
Sometimes, circumstances work against those preferences: Home maintenance becomes a burden, the cost to renovate in order to accommodate mobility-friendly features, a major life event forces considering a move, an aging parent
wants to live closer to adult children or other caretakers, financial concerns make it difficult to keep the home or support services are needed that are not available at home.
Whatever the reason, there may come a time when parents, along with their adult children consider selling and moving on. Remember that moving house can be a stressful, upsetting experience at the best of times, but for seniors who have lived in the same home for decades, leaving it can be overwhelming.
Here are just a few things that you may need to consider:
• People are living longer and leading healthier lives, so you may want to be close to recreation centers and parks, to continue to enjoy an active lifestyle.
• If you no longer drive or mobility is an issue, do you need to be in close proximity to shops, medical services, and to family and friends.
• Is there any local transit nearby – enabling you to keep your independence and mobility.
But at some point, you may have to make the decision as to whether it is time to sell your home.
Just imagine how you would feel if, after years of living in your beloved home, you were forced to admit that it is too big and too many stairs for your achy hips and knees to handle, too much work and expense to maintain it and you have come to the conclusion that you can no longer manage it on your own. Are you thinking of selling your home to move to a senior-supportive environment? Or perhaps to move in with an adult son or daughter who can help with your needs as you grow older? You may be considering leaving the family home with all that it represents – the place where children were raised; the safety and security of a family unit; the physical space where your oldest and dearest memories reside. For some seniors, it can signify the best years of their lives, where friends and community ties were made.
Moving from the family home can be overwhelming, especially if you are facing a lifetime of possessions and must make choices about what to bring and what to let go.
Moving from the family home can be overwhelming, especially if you are facing a lifetime of possessions and must make choices about what
to bring and what to let go.
I recently turned 60 and found out much to my chagrin that I am considered to be a senior. How could that possibly be? I don’t feel like a “senior” and I don’t think that I look like a senior - heck I don’t even have grey hair (thanks to my hairdresser Linda) – but I guess I have officially moved in to todays largest demographic group.
INVOLVED BECAUSE WE CARE • 23
Many find that the simplified life allows them to do more of what they enjoy, pursing a hobby, taking that “Bucket List Trip” or just being able to spend more time with children and grandchildren.
Another option to selling your home would be the take out a Reverse Mortgage, if you qualify. It is a special type of mortgage that enable a senior 55 years of age or older (the age qualification applies to both spouses) to convert a portion of their existing home equity into cash. It is a loan against your home that requires no repayment for as long as you live there.
You don’t have to make any regular or lump sum payments on a reverse mortgage. Instead, the interest on your reverse mortgage accumulates, and the equity that you have in your home decreases with time.
You usually don’t have to make any interest payments to the lender, as long as you are living in your home. However, if you sell your house or your home is no longer your principal residence, you must repay the loan and any interest that has accumulated. On your death, your estate would have to repay the loan.
These decisions can be paralyzing because each possession often triggers a walk down memory lane. Whatever your decision is, one of the biggest challenges you will face is “Nobody Wants Your Stuff”. The younger generations are no longer picking out formal china, crystal and silverware patterns. The antique furniture we have treasured is no longer valued by our children. Younger people just don’t seem to want the same things we used to want. This is an IKEA and Target generation. They don’t have the emotional connection to things that
earlier generations did. You love to read – and have a large book collection lining your shelves?? The younger generation is mostly a digital society. They read everything they need or want on line.
Start to offer now the excess items you have to other family members to enjoy. If there are no takers, you may have to find a consignment shop or resign yourself to the fact that you may have to donate things to Salvation Army or Value Village. Don’t be offended – the younger generation is a minimalist society.
With the right preparation, a new home can provide the fresh start and continual enjoyment you’ve been working towards. Moving out of ones long-time home need not be a terrible thing. The move can lead to significant lifestyle improvements. Many who have been tied down by big, empty and expensive homes find it liberating to move into something more suitable for their needs, whether that be a regular condo, a retirement community, or some other arrangement.
24 • PRO / VOLUME 5. NUMBER 1
Some of the benefits of a reverse mortgage are:
• The individual can receive up to 55% of the appraised value of his or her home.
• Funds can be received in either a lump sum, of fixed monthly payments for life, and can be used for any purpose.
• You don’t have any monthly repayments to make so you can’t lose your home by failing to make the payments.
• You can never owe more than the value of the home at the time the loan is paid off.
• Your heirs are entitled to the balance of the equity position.
• Payments received are Tax Free. CRA does not consider money borrowed through a reverse mortgage will not affect the government benefits that you may receive.
A Reverse Mortgage can make it possible for senior homeowners to finish out their lives in the comfort, security and privacy of their own homes. An income is assured for as long as the home is owned.
Disadvantages of a reverse mortgage are:
• They are subject to higher interest rates than most other types of mortgages.
• The equity you hold in your home will decrease as the interest on your reverse mortgage accumulates over the years.
• At your death, your estate will have to repay the loan and interest in full within a limited time.
• Since the principal and interest will be repaid to the lender at
your death, there will be less money in your estate to leave to your children or other heirs.
Whatever your decision may be – embrace it – these are the Golden Years !!!!

DRIVING THE OPPTHE HISTORY OF OPP
CHAUFFEURS
Chauffeurs were commonly assigned to OPP district headquarters throughout the province. OPP Commissioner V.A.S. Williams even issued a strong reminder that "District Inspectors will be held personally responsible that cars on Government charge are properly looked after and driven only by those who understand the handling of same" (OPP Order No. 2, May 3, 1922).
OPP chauffeurs were held in high esteem by the organization. On occasion, they were promoted to the rank of Provincial Constable, the recipients of commendations, and granted the powers of a Provincial Constable.
When Chauffeur James Cantwell (appointed on June 21, 1922) died in 1942, his name was included on the "In Memoriam" page
in the 1942 Annual Report, along with a kind eulogy, "[he] gave efficient service at HQ Garage in Toronto and No. 7 DHQ [District Headquarters] Barrie."
By 1951, the OPP chauffeur compliment was down to three. In 1952, civilian staff members were listed as "civilians" and were no longer identified by their professions in OPP Annual Reports.Eventually, the assignment of chauffeurs to district and regional headquarters ceased and only the OPPCommissioner was entitled to a driver. Angelo (Angie) Sabatini drove Commissioners Silk, Graham, Erskine, Ferguson and O'Grady through the 1960s into the late 1990s; Barry Wynne chauffeured Commissioner Boniface until 2006.
It is difficult to imagine an era in which people did not drive, but in the 1920s many Ontarians still did not own vehicles let alone possess drivers' licences.

Clifford Sharp drove the officers associated with No. 9 district headquarters at Port Arthur.
In 1922, he was one of nine chauffeurs deployed within six of the nine OPP districts. Seventeen automobiles were also part of the OPP's "strength and distribution" (Annual Report of The Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police, 1922).
During Sharp's career, his wife Ethel kept a scrapbook with newspaper clippings related to OPP officers and investigations in Ontario's northwest region. Away from his job, Sharp was a champion oarsman, representing the Port Arthur Rowing Club at international regattas. His rowing nickname was "Calling-All-Cars." In addition to the scrapbook, the museum has a photo album related to Sharp's
career as an OPP chauffeur. It is filled with interesting images (taken mostly during the winter months) of policing in the north during the 1920s through the 1950s. Gas ration coupon booklets from World War II and chauffeur identifications pins from the 1920s are also part of this unique collection, donated by Retired Detective Constable Gil and Sonia Johnson (2007.250).
Clifford Sharp shared a close relationship with the officers he worked with throughout his career. He and Corporal Albert Ericksen had a joint retirement party on June 24, 1964 at the Moose Hall in Port Arthur. Tickets were $2 per person and there was dancing from 9 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.!

of Mr. Clifford Sharp is an excellent

Thunder Bay) in 1964.

Add ¼ cup (50 mL) chopped walnuts to the middle layer. Do not put pears in the middle layer, but add ¼ cup (50 mL) pear juice to the pudding mixture. Garnish the top of the tiramisu with the pear halves down the middle.

In 2018, The Police Retirees of Ontario Incorporated (P.R.O.) introduced a province wide campaign to support children in need. The “P.R.O. Bear” campaign was founded by the P.R.O. to assist emergency services and comfort children who are going through traumatic events and during times of distress. P.R.O. Bears have been distributed to children in various situations such as domestic turmoil, fire, serious traffic accidents and related situations. When a child is in need, P.R.O. Bears are distributed by different organizations including Victim Services, local law enforcement and various children’s organizations.
The P.R.O. Bear campaign has been met with positive support and enthusiasm from local businesses, community organizations and private citizens throughout Ontario. Since the campaign’s inception, thousands of P.R.O. Bears have been distributed to children in need by emergency services and children’s organizations. The successful launch of the P.R.O. Bear campaign is a result of the strong support from members of your community.
The P.R.O. Bear Campaign has enabled the P.R.O. to fulfill its obligations to it’s membership, and ensure compliance with its aims, objectives and to support children in need across Ontario. The P.R.O. is working hard to help children in need, expand the reach of the P.R.O .Bear Campaign, and develop partnerships with additional support organizations and communities throughout all of Ontario.
If you know of an organization who work with children under stress or traumatic situations and would like them to receive Teddy Bears care of the Police Retiress of Ontario please email [email protected]
Thank youfor all of your support!
