Corporal Bill MacDonaldof 81 Airfield EngineeringFlight can finally drop hispersonal motto, “If it wasn’tfor bad luck, I’d have none.”

The carpenter was thelucky winner of an annualcontest run jointly byCANEX and the PersonalInsurance Company andwill receive $1,000 a weekfor an entire year - equal to$52,000. Surrounded by hisfamily and well-wishers, CplMacDonald officially rec-eived his winnings at a smallreception held January 26,2006 at the TrentonCANEX outlet.

James Malcolm, SeniorManager, Account Dev-elopment for the Personal,had the privilege of notifyingthe MacDonald family of itsgood fortune.

“We run this as a nation-

al contest where, if you callus for a quote on your car orhome, you get entered intothe draw to win $1,000 aweek for a year, tax-free. As athank you to existing cus-tomers, we enter their namesautomatically. That’s howBill won,” stated Malcolm.

“I wasn’t even aware (thatI was entered),” said the win-ner. “I thought it was a prac-tical joke.”

Malcolm broke the newsover the phone while CplMacDonald was at work. “Iasked if he was sitting down,explained the contest andsaid that he had won a littlebit of money,” said Malcolm.“I think he was in shock.”

“I called my wife andwhen I went home thatevening I said to her that weshould call these people backjust make sure everything ison the up and up. I workwith some guys that like tohave fun and play some prac-

tical jokes,” he said with asmile.

Bill’s wife, Kim, isthrilled with the win.

“I’m still in shock,” shesaid. “It seems so unreal.We’re excited and our familyis excited for us.”

The family has no spe-cific plans for the money,with the exception of payinga few bills, putting some ontheir mortgage and, ofcourse, a few frivolous luxu-ries.

“I want a limo ride and aset of drums,” said CplMacDonald’s 10-year-oldson, William.

For those disappointedby their loss this timearound, don’t fret, the insur-ance company will belaunching yet another con-test starting February 15. Upfor grabs will be a choice ofeither a sea-doo with traileror a ski-doo with trailer.More details to follow soon.

Joint Nuclear Biological andChemical Defence Company( JNBCD), a lodger unit at 8Wing/CFB Trenton, was wel-comed into the fold of the newlyformed Canadian SpecialOperations Forces Command(CANSOFCOM) during aparade held at Wing Transport onJanuary 27.

Colonel D.E. Barr,Commander of CANSOFCOM,was in attendance to mark theevent, which saw members of theJNBCD switch headdress to thenew tan coloured berets of SpecialOps. They will join Joint TaskForce 2 ( JTF2), the CanadianForces’ special operations andcounterterrorism unit; a specialoperations aviation capability

centred on helicopters and sup-porting land and maritime forces.

“I feel strongly that the tanberet was the right unified symbolfrom the get go,” said Col Barr.“We can now show the rest of theCF and the rest of Canada thatthere is a new command on theblock with new capabilities and isnow integrated as a team.”

He went into detail about thelegacy behind the tan beret,explaining that British,Australian and United StatesSpecial Forces also wear them.

“What makes us different isthe nature of our missions and theconsequences of failure. We can-not fail in our mission…Thereare two reasons we deploy – as thehighest capability to respond toand eliminate a threat or as a lastcourse available and able to do it.There is no one else…You will

add your own operational suc-cesses to the legacy (of thisberet),” noted Col Barr.

He congratulated JNBCD on,what he referred to as, an evolu-tion of their unit.

“Your unit was created as thedirect results of 9/11. In October2001, a CANFORGEN came outsaying this unit was going tostand up. By July, the first (groupof ) people were being posted intothe unit. This (integration) isoverdue recognition. Takeimmense pride in the fact thatyou take second seat to no one.”

Col Barr ended his address byreinforcing the fact that forCANSOFCOM personnel, “It’smission before self. It ’s yourtroops before self. It’s your buddybefore self. In special cases, it maybe mission essential equipmentbefore self.”

According to a documentreleased by the Department ofNational Defence in September2005, The Special OperationsGroup will help ensure theCanadian Forces are more:

· relevant in the new interna-tional security environment, byproviding a force better suited toadapt its capabilities and forcestructure to deal with threats thatarise from the kind of instabilityfound in failed and failing statesaround the world;

· responsive by enhancingtheir ability to act quickly in theevent of international crises. TheCF will arrive on the scene faster,move more effectively within the-atre, and increase it’s capability tosustain deployments; and

· effective by providing theability to deploy the right mix offorces – maritime, land, air and

special operations – to the rightplace at the right time, in order toproduce the desired result.

In the 2005 Defence PolicyStatement, the Government ofCanada committed that withrespect to special operationscapabilities, the Canadian Forceswill:

· enlarge Joint Task Force 2 tofurther enhance its ability to carryout missions at home and abroad,either alone or with other ele-ments of the Special OperationsGroup;

· expand the Joint Nuclear,Biological and Chemical DefenceCompany to better protectCanadians at home as well asCanadian Forces units deployedon domestic and internationaloperations; and improve specialoperations training capabilities.

by Capt Frank Jaerschky8 Wing ATC

Welcome to Controller’sCorner--the first of what willbecome a regular monthly fea-ture in The Contact Newspaper.

Over the past several yearsthe 8 Wing Air Traffic ControlUnit has kept a rather low pro-file. Apart from the pilots whoare required to talk to us, thereare many others on the Wingwho do not have a clear under-standing of what we do or are infact completely unaware of ourexistence. In this article, I willintroduce you to Trenton AirTraffic Control, letting you allknow who we are, what we do,how we do it.

The 8 Wing ATC Unitbelongs to Wing Operations andis staffed by approximately 40officers and NCMs. The WingAir Traffic Control Officer(WATCO) is Major RickChampagne, and the ATCMWO is MWO Grant Anstey,both who arrived this past sum-mer. The unit is comprised of anAir Traffic Control Tower and anInstrument Flight Rules ControlCentre (IFRCC), both manned24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

ATC’s primary mission is toensure the safe, expeditious, andorderly flow of air traffic (in thatorder). So how do we do that?The ATC working environmentis a rather complicated networkof rules, regulations, and air-space. Let’s first have a look atthe two distinct areas of respon-sibility.

Aircraft flight is normallyconducted in one of two ways,Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)and Visual Flight Rules (VFR).To put it simply, under IFRflight pilots fly and navigatetheir aircraft mainly with refer-ence to the aircraft ’s instru-ments. This permits aircraft tofly in poor weather conditions, orin cloud. Under VFR flight,pilots navigate and fly their air-craft with visual reference to theground and other aircraft.

Air Traffic Control is alsoconducted with reference toVFR and IFR. The controltower is responsible for all VFRtraffic within the Control Zone,and the IFRCC is responsible

for all IFR aircraft within theTrenton Military TerminalControl Area. The control toweris a pretty obvious structure onthe airfield, and most peopleknow where that is. The IFRCCis located just south of the con-trol tower, between the towerand the large white POL storagetanks.

So just how big is our area ofresponsibility? The ControlZone that the control tower isresponsible for is a circle of 10nautical miles diameter (about18.5 km), and up to 6,000 feet inaltitude. That ’s a pretty bigchunk of sky. Any aircraft wish-ing to operate in that sky isrequired to establish communi-cations with our tower con-trollers. An even bigger chunkof sky is controlled by theIFRCC, which is known as theMilitary Terminal Control Area(MTCA). If you get onHighway 401 near Kingston andhead towards Toronto, you willenter the Trenton MilitaryControl Area just before youpass the first McDonalds outsideof Kingston on the right-handside. Keep driving! About 90minutes later, you will finallyleave Trenton’s airspace, justbefore you get to Oshawa. Thesouthern boundary of our air-space follows the U.S. border,and the northern boundary runsmore or less parallel to but 15km north of Highway 401. Theupper limit of the MTCA is10,000 feet. Now that’s quite apiece of real estate! All aircraftoperating under IFR in MTCAare under the control of our con-trollers on duty in the IFRCC.

That’s enough of the techni-cal stuff for now. We’ll furtherexplore the Control Tower andIFRCC in the weeks and monthsto come. On the personnel side,the ATC unit would like toproudly impart our unit promo-tions that have taken place overthe past six months. Capt JoshMorissette, Capt John Healey,Sgt Marc Magee, MCpl BevRooney, and accelerated CplDon Ellery have all seen a pro-motion to their current rank.

We would also like to publiclyacknowledge the sacrifice andcourage of our deployed unitmembers who have proudly rep-

resented or are currently repre-senting our country in far offlands. Capt Rob Hicks has justreturned from a six-month tourat Camp Mirage, Cpl ShawnArbuckle has just returned froma six-month tour in the Sinai,and Capt Todd Meszaros hascompleted three months of a six-month tour in the Sinai.

Finally, we would like to payhomage to two individuals whohave recently left us and retiredfrom the Canadian Forces. Capt.John Flanagan retired earlier thismonth after serving 38 years. Asan Air Traffic Controller, Johnserved in Trenton (three times),Val D’Or, Comox (twice), MooseJaw, Cold Lake, Goose Bay, andBorden. While employed out-side of the classification, Johnrecruited for the CF inSaskatoon and Ottawa, adminis-tered ROTP /UTPM /PGRADstudents f rom Kingston, anddeployed as a peacekeeper in theSinai with Op Calumet. John’sprofessionalism and unparalleledcontribution to the ATC (nowAEC) classification will be sore-ly missed. We wish CaptFlanagan, his wife Christine andtheir daughter Jenna all the bestin the years to come.

WO Donna Anstey alsoretired this month after 24 yearsof service. Donna served the AirTraffic Community atBagotville, Petawawa, GooseBay, Moose Jaw, and back toTrenton (twice). Over her careershe qualified in all positionsfrom B-Stand to ATC Standards& Training WO. She also had astint as WCWO Assistant. WOAnstey’s professionalism, posi-tive outlook and cheerful atti-tude will be missed, but fortu-nately not for long since she iscoming back to the unit as areservist in April.

Until next time, know you’resafe in Trenton airspace!

Un nouveau programme de formationprocure des débouchés aux militaires

actuels et aux recruesCF Personnel Newsletter

Bulletin du personnel des FCpar le directeur – besoins en

ressources humaines militaires(DBRHM)

Si vous n’êtes pas titulaire d’undiplôme universitaire mais pos-sédez toutes les compétencesvoulues pour servir à titre d’of-ficier dans la Force régulière, lenouveau Programme de forma-tion des officiers – Éducationpermanente (PFO-EP)s’adresse peut-être à vous.

Auparavant, certaines per-sonnes, dont des militaires durang (MR) de la Forcerégulière, et des membres de laPremière réserve qui sontadmissibles à un transfert decatégorie de service dans laForce régulière et membrescivils, ne pouvaient pas par-ticiper aux programmesantérieurs de recrutement desofficiers dû au fait qu’ils n’étaientpas titulaires d’un diplôme uni-versitaire. Ce groupe comprendles diplômés du secondaire quisont admissibles à poursuivredes études universitaires, lespersonnes qui n’ont pas com-plété leur diplôme, ainsi que lesdiplômés des collèges commu-nautaires et des Collèges d’en-seignement général et profes-sionnel.

Si vous appartenez à l’unede ces catégories, vous avez ledroit de présenter une demanded’inscription au PFO-EP.

Tous les candidats – lesmilitaires du rang de la Forcerégulière, les officiers et les mili-taires du rang de la Premièreréserve ainsi que les civils –doivent avoir obtenu au moinsun diplôme d’études sec-ondaires dans un programmede formation général qui leurpermet d’être acceptés dans uneuniversité canadienne, afin d’é-tudier un programme répondaux exigences des Forces cana-diennes (FC).

Les militaires du rang de laForce régulière qui désirentposer leur candidature doivent :

• présenter une demanded’inscription au PFO-EP;

• avoir un grade effectif de

caporal ou un grade supérieur;• être recommandés par

leur commandant et leur chaînede commandement.

Les officiers et les militairesdu rang de la Première réservequi désirent se porter candidatsdoivent également accepter defaire l’objet de transfert de caté-gorie de service dans la Forcerégulière lorsqu’ils sont acceptésdans le PFO-EP.

Les candidats civils doiventêtre admissibles à l’enrôlementdans la Force régulière.

Dans le cadre du nouveauPFO-EP, les FC s’engagent àcontinuer de respecter leprincipe du corps d’officiersdiplômés. Dans le passé, lesofficiers qui posaient leur candi-dature devaient détenir undiplôme universitaire avantd’être nommé officier.

En octobre 2005, le Sous-ministre adjoint (Ressourceshumaines – Militaires), le Vice-amiral Greg Jarvis,a annoncé lamise en place d’un nouveauprogramme de production d’of-ficiers qui permet aux candi-dats-officiers d’être nomméofficier,de suivre une formationet de travailler dans leur groupeprofessionnel pendant qu’ilsachèvent leur diplôme.

Le nouveau PFO-EPprévoit principalement la par-ticipation du candidat à un pro-gramme qui mènera à l’obten-tion d’un diplôme avant la finde son engagement initial ausein des FC. Le résultat est lemême que dans le programmeprécédent seul le processus achangé.

La souplesse duProgramme permet de répon-dre plus facilement aux besoinsdes groupes professionnels d’of-ficiers qui souffrent d’unmanque chronique d’effectifs.

Un officier inscrit au pro-gramme peut, sur une périoderelativement courte, suivre uneformation et faire partie d’ungroupe professionnel. Une foisque l’officier inscrit au PFO-EPaura été embauché, les FCl’aideront à obtenir un diplômeen lui permettant de poursuivredes études à temps partiel,en lui

remboursant ses frais de scolar-ité et,s’il y a lieu,en subvention-nant le programme universi-taire qu’il suivra à temps pleinpendant une certaine période.L’obtention d’un diplôme estune responsabilité partagéeentre les FC et les membres dupersonnel, et le programmecomporte des mesures de pro-tection permettant de s’assurerque chaque partie remplit sesresponsabilités.

L’Académie canadienne dela Défense (ACD) a assumé lerôle de conseiller pédagogiquepour le PFO-EP et exerce lagestion générale de tous lesaspects liés à la formation. Sivous êtes candidat, l’ACD vousaidera à élaborer votre propreplan d’apprentissage afin quevous puissiez obtenir votrediplôme avant la fin de votreengagement initial et vousoffrira des conseils pour vousaider à rester dans la bonne voie.

Le PFO-EP fournit unnouvel outil important pourl’expansion de la force, car ilélargit le bassin des recrueséventuelles.De plus, il offre unechance aux militaires du rangactuels qui, faute de diplômeuniversitaire, ne pouvaient pas,avant aujourd’hui, faire avancerleur carrière bien qu’ils puissentautrement y être admissibles.Pour en savoir plus sur le nou-veau PFO-EP :• consultez le Message généraldes Forces canadiennes (CAN-FORGEN) 156/05 à l’adressehttp://vcds.dwan.dnd.ca/vcds-e x e c / p u b s / c a n f o r g e n /2 0 0 5 / i n t r o _ f . a s p ;• lisez l’instruction du Sous-ministre adjoint (Ressourceshumaines – Militaires)[SMA(RH-Mil)] 09/05 sur lePFO-EP, à l’adressehttp://hr.d-ndhq.dnd.ca/docs/i n s t r u c t i o n /instructions/frgraph/home_f.asp ;• consultez l’instruction duSMA(RH-Mil) 07/05 sur letransfert de catégorie de serviceà l’adresse http://hr.d-ndhq.dnd.ca/docs/instruction/in s t r u c t i o n s /frgraph/home_f.asp.

1996 – Thanks primarily to the efforts of MCpl Craig Ewan of 8 AirMaintenance Squadron, 8 Wing technicians may soon be repairing CC-130 engines using a T56 Engine Test Cell. Plans are currently underwayat NDHQ to purchase a United States Air Force test cell, located byMCpl Ewan, and have it upgraded for use at 8 Wing. Meanwhile, at theWing level, initial cost estimates of constructing the facility are beinggathered for submission of an ACES proposal.

1986 – From January 10 to February 2, Canadian Forces aircraft fromCFB Trenton and CFB Edmonton flew in a “Defence of Canada” exer-cise known as Lighting Strike. Troops from the Royal CanadianRegiment in London and the Special Service Force in Petawawa wereairlifted from CFB Trenton to Goose Bay, Labrador for winter manoeu-vres.

1976 – Since it was rumoured that John Mace, the Canada Customssupervisor at CFB Trenton, was retiring prematurely due to ill health, thestaff of 2AMU decided to take the bull by the horns and present himwith a unit plaque. This was done with the firm understanding that,should his health allow him to return to work and complete his full term,his ultimate and final retirement would be acknowledged with no morethan a slap on the back and a handshake.

New CEOTP opens doors for personnel, recruitsCF Personnel Newsletter |Bulletin du personnel des

FCFrom Director Military

Human ResourceRequirements (DMHRR)

If you qualify for service asa Regular Force officerexcept for the universitydegree, the newContinuing EducationOfficer Training Plan(CEOTP) may be for you.

Qualifying persons—Regular Force non-com-missioned members(NCMs), members of thePrimary Reserve who areeligible for ComponentTransfer to the RegularForce, and civilians—whodon’t have universitydegrees make up a portionof the Canadian populationthat was being missed inprevious officer recruitingprograms. This groupincludes high school gradu-ates eligible for universityadmission, persons withpart of a degree completed,and community college andCollège d’enseignementgénéral et professionnelgraduates.

If you see yourself here,you may be eligible to applyfor the CEOTP.

All applicants—Regular Force NCMs, offi-cers and NCMs in thePrimary Reserve, and civil-ians—must have at least ahigh school diploma in an

academic program leadingto acceptance at aCanadian university in aninitial degree program thatmeets Canadian Forces(CF ) requirements.

Regular Force NCMcandidates must:

• apply for theCEOTP;

• be of substantive cor-poral rank or above; and

• be recommended forcommissioning by theircommanding officer andchain of command.

Primary Reserve officerand NCM applicants mustalso Component Transferto the Regular Force uponacceptance into theCEOTP.

Civilian applicantsmust be eligible for enrol-ment in the Regular Force.

The new CEOTPretains the CF’s commit-ment to the degreed officercorps concept, but with oneimportant difference – offi-cer candidates used to berequired to hold a universi-ty degree before they couldbe commissioned. InOctober 2005, however,Assistant Deputy Minister(Human Resources –Military) Vice-AdmiralGreg Jarvis announced thecreation of the new officerproduction plan that allowsofficer candidates to becommissioned and to trainin and be employed in theirmilitary occupations while

they earn their degrees.The key stipulation

under the new CEOTP isthat you must participate ina program that will lead toa degree within your initialengagement in the CF. Theresult is the same as underthe former plan – only theprocess is different.

The plan’s flexibilitymakes things simpler whenit comes to meeting theneeds of officer occupationsthat are chronically short ofpersonnel. A CEOTP offi-cer can be trained andworking in an occupationin a relatively short time.Once a CEOTP officer isemployed, the CF will helphim or her earn a degree byproviding time and supportfor parttime study, educa-tional reimbursement, and,if necessary, a period offull-time subsidized educa-tion at a university.

Getting a degree is ashared responsibilitybetween the CF and per-sonnel, and there are safe-guards built into the planto ensure that both fulfilltheir respective responsibil-ities.

The Canadian DefenceAcademy (CDA) hasassumed the role of aca-demic advisor for theCEOTP, with generaloversight of all academicaspects of the plan. If youare a candidate, the CDAwill help you create an

individual learning plan toensure that you earn yourdegree within your initialengagement, and will act asyour academic advisor dur-ing your studies to helpkeep you on track.

The CEOTP providesan important new tool forForce Expansion because itwidens the pool of poten-tial recruits. As well, itopens a door for servingnon-commissioned mem-bers whose lack of a univer-sity degree has until nowprevented them from mak-ing the career move theymay be otherwise qualifiedto make.

Well,as you may have heard,I found real work. LastMonday night I was electedas a Member of Parliamentfor the Toronto-area riding ofHalton. This means I layclaim to a green-upholsteredchair in a big gothic roomknown as the House ofCommons.

It’s not the first time Ihave been there,serving as anMP for five years more thana decade ago, before the vot-ers returned me to the elevat-ed position of private citizen.On Monday night I wasluckier,beating the other guysand getting another shot atrepresenting my communityin that strange place calledOttawa.

Now,why would I run fora seat in Parliament? I guessinsanity is a logical defence,but it actually goes deeperthan that. It could also be amid-life crisis, since I toyedwith the idea of abandoningmy wife and buying aHummer.But,as you know,Ihave spent the last dozenyears heavily involved in peo-ple’s finances, from coast tocoast. I’ve written books on

this subject, done TV showson it and delivered speecheson money matters in hun-dreds of halls. All of that hasshoved me to an inevitableconclusion: the middle classin this country is in lousyshape, and no thanks to thegovernment for it!

Simply put, I ran for themiddle class. Suburbanhomeowners with mort-gages, two cars, kids, lots ofbills and who spend hours aday commuting to their jobs.People who buy retail, pay awhack of taxes, are focusedon their careers, don’t com-plain a whole lot and whooften have a nice house andyet no savings.These are theworkers bees of our society,and also the ones – in a polit-ical sense – it is easy to over-look.They are the backboneof the society,and the tax sys-tem - not to mention the realestate market – and it struckme we all have a big stake inkeeping them happy, pros-perous and optimistic abouttheir prospects.

Middle class.It is perhapsthe greatest accomplishmentof Canada. Almost every-

body who comes here fromeverywhere else hopes tobecome middle class,and thefact that most Canadiansdescribe themselves this wayshould tell us something.Like this – we need morepoliticians who are willing tostand up for the guy in thesuburbs with a house worthhundreds of thousands ofdollars and yet no RRSPs,because his personal taxes arecrushing.

Or the couple whomakes the decision to haveone spouse stay home to lookafter the kids, only to findthat the couple across thestreet with two incomes,making the same amount ofmoney,actually pay less in tax.Or homeowners with vari-able rate mortgages whowonder why the hell theirrates have gone up four timesover the past six months,along with their propertytaxes, when their incomessurely have not.

Middle class, suburbanhomeowners – also wonder-ing how the federal govern-ment sent $2 billion in ener-gy rebates to low-incomepeople,when middle-incomepeople can’t afford the naturalgas bills either. Or taxpayerswho never catch a break,while watching Ottawapocket hundreds of millionsin public funds and thenspend tens of millions moreinvestigating it.

Middle class Canada –where family incomes have

barely crept higher at all overthe past few years, and at thesame time these taxpayerswatched federal governmentspending increase last year by$20 billion, or 15 per cent.These people are not dumb.They see the direct line thatconnects government over-spending with inflationarypressures with the Bank ofCanada and their mortgagerate. And they are not happyabout it.

So, I decided to run forParliament. For the middleclass. And it was cheaperthan buying a new Hummer.We will see what happens – ifI make any kind of a differ-ence. If I don’t, then it will betime to pass that green chairon to somebody else.

Meanwhile I have beenasked if I’ll still be writing acolumn for you every week –assuming it will be a financialone, not a load of politicalpropaganda. And while mynew job will make it a littlemore challenging to do this,Iam game, if you are.

Is it unusual to have a sit-ting MP write a newspapercolumn on stuff that actuallymatters? You bet.But it is alsoopen to criticism by thosewho think all politicians aresingle-minded wombatsincapable of doing anythingother than sucking up votesand worrying about gettingre-elected.So,here’s the deal:If you want me to write it,then tell me. I’m [email protected].

Final thoughts...

After four years of writing this column, I am final-ly throwing in the towel - not because I have givenup on my weight loss goals, but because I will beleaving The Contact.

After six wonderful years at 8 Wing/CFBTrenton, I am moving on, thus wrapping up thislittle feature. It’s definitely not without a little sad-ness.

This column has become a soapbox from whichto shout the praises of the fabulous programsoffered by PSP for those looking to manage theirweight. Try as I may, I could never extend enoughgratitude to both the Fitness and Sports Flight aswell as the Health Promotion Office. Both havehad a key role in helping me shed almost 40pounds through education in fitness and nutrition.

The personnel at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, bothmilitary and civilian, are indeed fortunate to havethese types of resources readily available to them. Istrongly encourage you to take full advantage ofthem.

In terms of my personal goals, I fully plan tocontinue working towards a healthier lifestyle. Infact, those plans include signing up for a five kilo-metre run/walk later in the year - something Iwould never had dreamed of doing four years agoand 40 lbs heavier.

Although the weight loss has been a tremen-dous benefit, I thank the gym staff and HealthPromotion staff for their part in boosting my con-fidence level. There is very little that I won’tattempt anymore. I’ve learned my body can bepushed farther than I thought possible. I’ve learnedto run. I’ve learned that hard work pays off. Andmore importantly, I’ve learned that self improve-ment is not unattainable.

I offer a final thank you to you, the readers, foryour words of encouragement and for your interestin this column. I wish you all luck in achievingyour own goals. Cheers.

Carbon Monoxide - the silent killer

Carbon monoxide (CO)is a deadly gas whichcauses many deaths eachyear. It kills withoutwarning because it hasno smell or color. It is aby-product of burning oforganic fuels such asgasoline, diesel, wood,propane, natural gas,charcoal briquettes andother such materials.

When these materialsare burned in a poorly-ventilated space, carbonmonoxide can build upand cause poisoning.This poisoning canoccur even when there isplenty of oxygen in theair. The carbon monox-ide replaces oxygen inthe body’s circulatorysystem, quickly causingillness and even death.These are some of thesymptoms of CO poi-

soning: headache, dizzi-ness, sleepiness, ringingin the ears, nausea, poorco-ordination and weak-ness, confusion, breath-ing difficulty, uncon-sciousness.

Some of the symp-toms of carbon monox-ide exposure may be mis-taken for other ailmentssuch as allergies, the flu,exhaustion or a heartattack. Carbon monox-ide poisoning can also bemistaken for intoxicationfrom alcohol or drugs. Ifcarbon monoxide expo-sure is suspected, moveimmediately to fresh air.If the case is a mild one,this may be all that isrequired for the personto recover fully.However, more seriouscases of exposure mayrequire Cardiopul-monary Resuscitation(CPR) and medicalattention. Oxygen mayhave to be administered.In some workplaces, car-bon monoxide is notmerely an unwanted by-product of combustion,but is actually part of theprocess. Carbon monox-ide elimination and con-trol methods will varygreatly from one indus-try to the next. However,

here are some generaltips on ways in whichcarbon monoxide expo-sure can be eliminated:

Switch to equipmentwhich is operated by apower source other thanorganic fuels; such aselectricity or batteries.

Keep any fuel-burn-ing equipment in goodcondition so that it isburning efficiently. Thiswould include fuel-burning engines, fur-naces and heaters.

Separate the workarea from the carbonmonoxide hazard.

Ventilate the area.Local exhaust ventila-tion, or large complexsystems may be requireddepending on circum-stances.

Monitor the atmos-phere to detect carbonmonoxide levels.

Use supplied-air res-piratory protection whenthe hazard cannot beeliminated.

Don’t forget aboutcarbon monoxide haz-ards off the job too. Hereare some safety tips:

Keep your automo-bile and its exhaust sys-tem in good repair.

Never run the enginein an enclosed space

such as a garage.If you must sit in a

stationery vehicle withthe engine running; tokeep warm, for instance;be sure to open a win-dow.

Keep all heaters andfurnaces in good repairtoo, so that they willburn fuels completely.

Provide adequateventilation for anyheaters.

Never use a barbecueindoors. There havebeen a number of casesof carbon monoxide poi-soning occurring as peo-ple tried to use barbe-cues indoors for cookingand heating duringpower outages.

Carbon monoxide isjust one more reason notto smoke cigarettes.

Tobacco smoke,including second-handsmoke, contains carbonmonoxide.

Poisoning is not theonly danger associatedwith carbon monoxide.It is also flammable andexplosive. When itbuilds up in an enclosedarea, it can explode ifthere is a source of igni-tion such as a match,cigarette or electricalspark.

Money will come into the equation butmake sure you don’t set your price too high or too low.Take time on the 11th toget to know some of the people you have to deal with better.

Keeping warm this winter without breaking the bank(NC)—Like most Ontarians, you’re probably still recov-ering from the shock you felt when you opened yourrecent heating bill. The good news is it’s not too late toapply energy saving strategies to make a difference onyour next bill and keep energy dollars where they mattermost – in your wallet.

Drop it down a notch – Reduce the temperature onyour thermostat by a few degrees at night or when you’reaway. As a guide, remember that for every one degreereduction on your thermostat, you can save 2 per cent onyour heating bill. Installing a programmable thermostatwith a timer can also help regulate household tempera-tures.

Keep up the weatherproofing routine– Checking for

cracks in exterior caulking and searching for worn outweather stripping around windows and doors is anautumn ritual that should continue all winter. Ensuring aproper seal against the elements will keep heat in and cansave up to 15 per cent on your next heating bill.

Less sunlight = more electric light – The dark days ofwinter mean household lighting will be working over-time. Electric lights burn up to 25 percent of the averagehome energy budget so, consider replacing incandescentbulbs with compact fluorescents. These energy savers arefour times more efficient and last up to 10 times longerthan regular bulbs.

Drape it – When you’re not letting in daytime sun-light, drawing the curtains at night can reduce heat lossthrough windows. Heavier drapes combined with ener-

gy-efficient windows go a long way to helping get morefor your energy dollar.

Be a star – When buying a new major appliance atany time during the year, remember that improving ener-gy efficiency is as simple as looking for the ENERGYSTAR® logo on household products.

Do your research – Be a smart consumer. Know yourbudget and shop around for the best natural gas price.Some natural gas suppliers like RiteRate offer an onlinesavings calculator (www.riterate.ca) to help consumersunderstand their potential savings and know which nat-ural gas contract options best meet their needs.Energyshop.com is an excellent source for independentcomparison of natural gas suppliers and rates.
