United Way launches with $35,000 goal
Goal: $35,000 By Bruce Peever
Shilo Stag
Shilo put its best foot forward Oct. 3 to
kick off the 2011 United Way campaign.
The Base Commander’s Mile for
United Way saw dozens of military and
100 civilian personnel run, walk or hike for
1.6 kms just as dawn was breaking that
90 morning. This was followed up by the
80 United Way flag raising ceremony, cake
cutting and silent auction — all in front

50 up slightly from last year’s $30,000. Base
Campaign Chair Capt Jan Gorveatt says

30 matter the end goal.
Capt Gorveatt, who was second in

through similar to how we did last
% year. In 2010, the Base was the single
largest workplace contributor within
the Brandon and District United Way
catchment area. In the end we more than
doubled our goal, raising more than
$60,900.
At the kickoff last week, LCol
Goodyear pointed out the campaign is an

NOTEBOOK
Halloween safety
is common sense
By Lt Dane Nicholson
As Halloween approaches, and the days get
noticeably shorter it is time to start planning for
an enjoyable and safe evening out in Shilo. As in
years past children will be out in the street in large
numbers, excited for one of the most enjoyable
nights of the year. Here are several tips for parents
and all residents:
• wear light coloured costumes if you’ll be near
the roads, consider a member or two of your group
wearing a reflector. A flashlight is a big help, too;
• travel in groups with an adult supervisor for
every two or three children;
• remember to walk and stalk on sidewalks.
Cross the street on marked cross-walks or at
intersections and look both ways! Do not run or
jay-walk!
• remind children to accept treats only from
homes or people they can recognize and trust. Photo by Sara Cumming
Parents should always be with children when
accepting treats on Halloween night;
• consider dressing up with face paint rather David Baxter, President and CEO of West-

boundaries, what to do if lost, and time limits on
trick-or-treating.
If you are receiving trick-or-treaters at your
residence be sure to keep the area in front of your
door well illuminated, and clear of debris. In the
event you will not be home or do not want children
arriving at your residence be sure to turn off your
porch light, and make it visible that you are not
expecting any trick-or-treaters. The area in front of
your residence should still be clear.
For those attending Halloween parties remember
to allow greater time to arrive at your destination
with more pedestrian traffic than is normal and in
the area. Make sure you have a safe plan to arrive
home as well, should you choose to consume
alcohol.
Have a safe week.
