The Mikey Network Donates a Phillips HeartStart
AED at Old Mill Marina
The
Mikey Network (www.mikeynetwork.com)
has chosen Old Mill Marina as a recipient of a Phillips
HeartStart AED! What started out as a six month plan to
fundraise enough money to install an AED turned into a ten day
chore! A big thank you to Roger Hennig, a Kawagama Cottager,
who's company
Action First Aid
got us started on this project, and who loaned a Phillips HeartStart AED
while we were fundraising.
Included in the donation from the
Mikey Network is training on the AED unit for all Old Mill
Marina's staff. While the AED will be based in the store here at
the marina, it will be available to respond to any emergencies
on Kawagama Lake, and given the fact that there are two
volunteer firefighters on staff at Old Mill, this unit will
definitely be traveling around the lake when required.
An AED is used to treat victims of
sudden cardiac arrest,
who are not responsive and not breathing
normally. This unit will treat the most common cause of sudden
cardiac arrest by delivering a shock to the heart. Coupled with
CPR, the HeartStart helps until emergency medical professionals
arrive.
As well, Old Mill Marina has
information and brochures available on HeartStart Home
Defibrillators. Available through Action First Aid and Roger
Hennig (a Kawagama Cottager), these units are designed for a
home or cottage environment. Every minute counts in the case of
sudden cardiac arrest, and a HeartStart Home Defibrillator is
easy to use, safe, and reliable.

SeaDoo Port Installed on Fuel
Docks!
As part of our commitment to the
Clean Marine Program, Old Mill Marina is pleased to announce the
installation of a RhinoPort on our fuel docks. This floating
personal watercraft port is intended to allow PWCs to safely and
securely dock for refueling, minimizing the risks of any
fuel being spilled into the lake during refueling.
The RhinoPort is installed on the west side of the fuel docks,
very close to shore (near the new dock with the kayaks and tubes
on display).
Yes, we do sell these PWC docks. If
you are interested, please ask Rob for more details.
Aviva Water Toys Are Here!
The Aviva line of water toys is back
for another summer! From tubes to trampolines, banana boats to
floating rock walls, and slides to swimming rafts, Old Mill
Marina has the products that will help create hours of fun and
entertainment at the cottage! The new dock built on the west
side of the gas docks has our expanded display of Paluski Kayaks
and Canoes as well as the Aviva line up of inflatable products.
Be sure to visit the beach in front of the Walisser house at the
marina to see (and perhaps test out!) the new slide, swimming
raft, and the SplashZone trampoline. Emily, Andrew and Laurie
would be happy to have visitors at their water park!
  
  
Old Mill Marina Internet
Wireless Access Point Now Live!
Old Mill Marina now has a free
wireless internet access point. Broadcast from the gas shack,
the access point covers the main floating docks, plus most of
the covered slips. Your smartphone or laptop simply needs to
connect to the wireless network named Old Mill Hot-Spot and you will quickly be up and running on the internet.
With a number of strategically placed Muskoka Chairs, you can
find a comfortable spot to enjoy a Timothy's Coffee and catch up
on email!
We have high speed satellite service
for our internet access here at the marina. XplorNet, for anyone
who is interested. While a decent service, it has a very serious
restriction on the amount of data that can be uploaded before
their "Traffic Management Policies" kick in. TMP means that they
cut our internet speed down substantially to penalize us for
overloading the satellite. For this reason, we are
restricting the upload capabilities of our free internet access
point. You will find that uploads will be very slow - this is
not a good location for you to upload the latest YouTube video!
However, for browsing, downloads, and emails, you should find
the speeds to be far superior to dial up!
Marine Fuel Questions & Answers
Once
again, customers are asking what grade of fuel does Old Mill
Marina sell, and does it contain ethanol? At this time, Old Mill
has switched from premium 91 octane gas to regular 87 octane gas
with the end of the snowmobile season. Petro Canada confirms
that again this year, there is no ethanol in the fuel being
supplied to the Petro Canada branded marinas throughout Muskoka
and Haliburton regions. Currently, our fuel price is $1.23
a litre.
