Donʼt wait, check the date Replace PMQ smoke alarms every decade BECAUSE Shilo Stag The theme of Fire Prevention Week this year is IT’S ABOUT “Don’t Wait, Check the Date” of your smoke alarms. That’s the message from Shilo Fire Chief Dennis Hurley. “Smoke alarms don’t last forever. So we would ask everyone to take a moment and check the expiry date of their smoke alarms,” he explained. HIM TOO Smoke alarms wear out over time and need to be replaced within the time frame indicated by the manufacturer, usually a 10-year period. The date of manufacture is indicated on the back of the smoke alarm and the expiry date is taken from that date. GET VACCINATED. While smoke alarms typically last a decade, some have different expiry time frames. Check the manu- DON’T SPREAD THE FLU. facturer’s instructions for the expiry time frame of your smoke alarms. CFB Shilo’s fi re department also reminds you that smoke alarms are required on every level of your PMQ and outside all sleeping areas. Test all of your smoke alarms monthly by pushing the test button on the alarm, and replace batteries twice a year at Daylight Savings Time or when the alarms low battery signal begins to chirp. Fire Prevention Week runs Oct. 9 to 15. The annual seasonal flu vaccine is available to all Manitobans at no charge. It will offer protection against four seasonal flu strains. An annual flu vaccine is especially important for those at increased risk of serious illness from the flu, their caregivers and close contacts. If you are 65 or older or have a chronic illness, you should also get a pneumo vaccine. One pneumo vaccine may give you a lifetime of protection. Remember those who fell, sacrificing their lives so you could be free after two world wars, To get your free flu vaccine, contact your public health nurse, as well as battles in Korea and Afghanistan doctor, pharmacist or call Health Links – Info Santé at For our Nov. 3 Remembrance Day edition, your Base community newspaper would like to share stories, photos, and letters from the 204-788-8200 or toll-free 1-888-315-9257.

After about a minute, we could hear the boom of the M777 and just after we saw the round impact about 50 metres to the right of the target area. Corrections were called in over the radio and another shot was ordered and outed. This time the target area was partially obscured by the impact of the M777 round. Soon a barrage was called — “fi ve rounds fi re for ef- fect” — with most of the rounds impacting within the Oct 1 - Dec 31 target area. These projectiles had fuses set to explode immediately after impact. For the second time, we headed “down range” to survey the damage. Disappointingly, the damage was minimal. A few shallow craters had appeared around All men’s and the target. The back window was blown out of the 25% minivan and a piece of shrapnel had spidered the front window. ladies blue jeans After having a look and quickly snapping a few OFF more photos, again we headed to our position of safety to observe more rounds strike the unsuspecting pigs’ defensive position. Corrections were called in and, this time, fuses were set to detonate within proximity to the ground. When rounds blow up above the ground the shrapnel that sprays across the area is much larger. We watched the shells airburst over the target area and, once the smoke had settled and it was safe to venture out, we went to survey the fi nal damage. Although more apparent than the fi rst time we looked, the damage was still disappointingly light. Capt Richard Walker, although also disappointed, was very professional and determined to mine all the training value from this artillery exercise. Surveying the damage some of the things that were noticed: Passenger side rear tire was fl at; narrow slices had appeared in the body panels of the minivan on the passenger side; falling shrapnel had also penetrat- ed from the roof and the hood through the vehicle to the ground; the radiator had blown out, with debris from it scattered around the front of the vehicle. Small craters made by shrapnel pock-marked the scene. Some of these craters were no bigger across than a deck of cards, but they were surprisingly deep. Other than a couple nicks in the helmet, the pig placed in the minivan was as healthy as he had been Brands such as Silver and Point Zero the fi rst time I looked at him.
