Spring is around the corner, 14 Wing refl ects on an outstanding Olympic-themed Winter

Carnival and Canada embarks on its winter Olympic journey. What better time to

refl ect on wellness and renewal? When it comes to individual, Unit and family health

and wellness 14 Wing has made some meaningful strides over the last couple of

years. The Wing Commander’s Wellness Campaign in 2008-09 saw us add signifi cant

events to our calendar such as the Run the Runway, snowshoeing and youth skate-

boarding. With the Centennial of Flight Campaign in 2009-10 the recreational and

leisure sides of wellness received a boost with amazing family opportunities such

as “Meet the Snowbirds” in the Spring, Silver Dart weekend in the summer and Wing

Welcome in the Fall. In addition, outstanding facility upgrades included a new

hardwood gym fl oor in the Fitness and Sports Centre, new lighting in the pool, new

state of the art equipment in the weight room and cardio rooms, and facility upgrades

at the Greenwood Golf Course, the Greenwood Horse and Riding Club, the Skate-

board Park and the Lake Pleasant Campers Club. When it comes right down to it the

opportunities to live a fi t, healthy and happy lifestyle are unparalleled here at 14 Wing.

Cover story continued.Nevertheless the cultural change desired and implied by

the Canadian Forces Health and Fitness Strategy will not happen overnight. In today’s high tech environment, wellness messaging and diverse interesting programs must compete to keep pace with the arbiters of sedentary lifestyle. In spite of improved results on fi tness testing, increased Unit fi tness and enhanced family programs, “healthy lifestyle” has yet to become the mantra of the majority. Progress is steady but gradual and leadership combined with individual effort is required to make the wellness fl ame burn higher and brighter.

Certain parallels between Canadian military and the Olympic ideals can inspire us in our striving towards higher levels of overall wellness. Both institutions promote being the best you can be at the individual level and assisting world peace and understanding at the universal level. The Olympic Rings confi guration which symbolizes continents coming together were part of the military Physical Education and Recreation cap badge in the 1980’s and 90’s where the rings represented the physical, mental, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of overall wellness. The cap badge also included the legendary Phoenix rising from the fl ames with renewed levels of health, vigour and quality of life. This year why not re-ignite or nourish your fl ame, or better still, your family’s fl ames?

If you are looking for events to get involved in or simply to inspire you, check out the following events calendar which includes just some of the many opportunities on the Wing.

*In addition to these Wellness Events, regular health promotion, family and recreation programs for weight loss, healthy eating, stress management, active living, family fun and life balance are offered throughout the year through 14 Wing Health Promotion, the Fitness and Sports Centre, the Community Recreation Centre, the Military Family Resource Centre. During this Olympic Year give yourself a chance to shine.

Holocaust Survivor will Share His Life Story at 14 WingSubmitted by: Eric

MacKenzie, Community Recreation Coordinator

Mr. Philip Riteman was a prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau and still lives with the constant reminders of the camp by having the number 98,706 tattooed

on his left arm. Although the gray numbers have faded, the nightmares and horrific memories of the Holocaust have not.

After over forty years of silence, Mr. Riteman, has dedicated the last twenty years to speaking to the next generation so they can learn

what happened in hopes that this type of evil does not occur again.

As a result of his tremendous w o r k , M r. R i t e m a n h a s received honorary degrees from Memorial University and St. Thomas University. Plus, he recently received the Order of Nova Scotia for educating the next generation and keeping the memories of the over six million Jews who died during the Holocaust, including over one million individuals under the age of sixteen, alive.

Mr. Riteman, who was born in Poland and now resides in Bedford Nova Scotia, will share

his enlightening and incredibly powerful message to members of 14 Wing and our community on Tuesday February 23rd 2010.

Mr. Riteman’s presentation, titled the Power of Memories, will be held in Lounges B and C of the Annapolis Mess between 9:30 – 11:30am *Please note change of start time*

This event is open to the general community but priority will be given to 14 Wing Military and Defense Team members. To register, please contact the Learning Career Centre at 765-1494 ext. 5226 *Please note change of start time is 9:30am*

Centennial of Flight Monument Unveiling

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Submitted by: Muriel WestAh, February; a month when

one turns one’s attention to matters of the heart. The stores are fi lled with delectable chocolate treats done up in scarlet, heart-shaped boxes. School aged youngsters prepare elaborate Valentines for their classmates. Young lovers concoct romantic adventures to demonstrate their affection for one another. Us fi fty-somethings+ muse the implications of our recent stress tests and plan for a visit with the cardiologist to ensure ourselves that our hearts are strong and functioning properly.

Yes, as middle age ensnares us, the more we become conscious of our own mortality and acknowledge that heart disease is still the leading cause of death in Canada. So heart disease is, by no means, an obscure problem. Everyone knows someone who recently has had a nasty reminder that heart health matters. Many people tune themselves into the warning signs and manage to avert a catastrophe by prudent behavior. Eating right, exercising, and managing one’s weight are simple ways to look after your heart. Regular check-ups, identifying a family history of heart disease, and monitoring the changes in your own body also help. Once in a while reading literature about heart health doesn’t hurt either.

In February the Heart & Stroke Foundation campaigns door-to-door in many communities. In Kingston a small army of volunteers have been organized to visit most of the homes within the village to solicit fi nancial donations. This money is used for research into heart health and stroke prevention. I encourage everyone who is able to support the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Who knows who will be a benefi ciary of the Foundation’s efforts? It may well be you or someone you love. And it could be soon.

If you wonder how much you should give, consider giving

$1 for each child or grandchild who expects you will be there to see him graduate or her walk down the aisle a few years hence. And maybe you could give another $1 for each friend, neighbour, and relative who had a stress test this past year, or an echo test, or an angioplasty. Each person you know who had successful open-heart surgery this past year might tabulate, say, $5. Maybe you might want to give

$5 for each loved one who died prematurely this past year of heart disease with absolutely no warning. Consider giving another $5 for each person you know whose quality of life was suddenly compromised this past year as the result of a stroke; $10 if that person was younger than yourself. For some readers, their contribution to the Heart & Stroke Foundation could be quite considerable. For others, not so much. And you might want to give just because you are able, without using any formula at all.

Did anyone canvas your street last year? If not, maybe you would like to give me a call at 765-8554. I’ll run over with a receipt book and an information kit to prepare you to solicit your neighbourhood. Some of our canvassers have very innovative ways to stimulate giving. Some host neighbourhood coffee parties and invite their guests to come prepared to make a donation. Going door-to-door is a simple way to canvas. It affords one the opportunity to visit, become better acquainted, and catch up on the neighbourhood news. Think of canvassing like going to the dentist: it sounds far worse that it is. Actually canvassing can be immensely gratifying. I quite enjoy it myself because I believe I just may be making a difference.

In this chilly month of February, I hope you will welcome your Heart & Stroke canvasser into your home warmly and thank him or her for taking their valuable time to work for such an important cause that impacts so many Canadians every day. And I hope that you will give from the heart what you are able to contribute. I wish you good health and a long, productive life. Happy Valentine’s Day. Muriel West

Heart and Stroke Month

World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together the fi rst Friday of March to observe a common day of prayer each year. Through World Day of Prayer, women affi rm their faith in Jesus Christ and become aware of the whole world; are enriched by the faith experience of Christians of other countries and cultures; share the burdens of other people and pray with them and for them; become aware of their own talents and use them in the service of God’s world. Prayer and action are inseparable and both have immeasurable infl uence in the world.

Participating churches include St Mark’s Protestant Chapel, All Saints Anglican, Kingston United, Kingston United Baptist, and Queen of Heaven Chapel. Please join us at as we celebrate World Day of Prayer at Queen of Heaven Chapel (14 Wing Greenwood) on 5 March 2010 at 7:00 p.m.

More information about our community’s service is available from Margaret Aylward at 765-3977.

Blood Donor ClinicBy Eric MacKenzie,

Community Recreation Coordinator

Canadian Blood Services held another successful two day Blood Donor clinic at

the 14 Wing Community Centre on Tuesday February 9th and Wednesday February 10th Over 275 donors came to support this worthy cause and as a result 235 donations were collected, which can be used to save almost 700 lives! Canadian Blood Services will be returning for another two day clinic at the 14 Wing Community Centre on April 20th and 21st 2010.

Canadian Blood Services is holding two day clinics as a result of the support from our local communities. Let’s continue to respond and take advantage of this opportunity by filling up two full days with appointments. If we can double our one day attendance, over both days, Canadian Blood Services may be able to collect enough donations to save over a thousand lives!

If you are interested in booking an appointment to give blood or to volunteer at this next two day clinic, please call 1-888-236-6283.

The 14 Wing Community Centre would like to thank Tim Hortons and McDonalds for their continued sponsorship towards this event.

The Valley Drug Mart Pharmasave located at 613 Main Street in Kingston is more than your average Pharmacy. Besides, dealing with all your prescription and health care needs, we also have a full Engraving/Trophy Shop and a well-stocked Brewtique for all of your Home Brewing needs.

Bob’s Brewtique has been dealing with customers in the Valley and most of the province for all of their brewing supplies for over 20 years. It started with 2 shelves of supplies to make your own wine from scratch to the over 400 sq ft that is now in place. We have a large assortment of brewing supplies from starter kits to additives for all types of wines and beers. There are over 50 types of beer mixes from Coopers to Muntons and the 15ltr Brew House Box that is the closest you’ll get to Micro Brewed beer at home.

Our wine selection comes from 3 of the top wine kit companies in North America, RJ Spagnol-Vincor (the leading wine company in Canada and the largest wine producer in the world), Vineco and Wine time. With over 150 different kits (Fruit wines and double kit bulk boxes to the top of the line kits on the market today) to choose

from, there will be something to please everybody. If you’re just starting out or have been brewing for years, stop in and check out the Brewtique and we’ll help you on your way to great brewing.

The Trophy-Engraving shop has been serving the community for over 20 years. Originally located in the old Sundry Shop building on Main Street it was moved to its current location when the new Pharmasave store was built 8 years ago.

Some of the items that are available include Medals, Awards, Plaques, Nametags, Signs, Medical and ID bracelets, pet tags, Plastic-Metal tags and Giftware. You can also have traditional engraving done on most items. We will match written quotes of the same product from any competitor. Custom work is available

upon request. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, browse our catalogues; most items can be shipped within 3-5 business days. If you are a serious sports club or just putting together some fun teams, come check out the Engraving shop for

all your awards or medals. Stop in, see Mike, and fi nd out how he can help you with any engraving questions you might have.

Don’t forget that we offer Air Miles and our own Pharmasave Brand Loyalty card, buy 10, and get 1 free Pharmasave product.

Here are some Fire Prevention and Life Safety tips for the RHUs and Home owners.

Have an Evacuation Plan, with an outside meeting place, if children are present get them involved and do a drill with them. Ensure all family members know what to do in the event of a Fire.

Kitchen• Use a temperature-con-

trolled electric skillet or deep-fryer for frying.

• Never leave cooking unat-tended.

• Use appropriate cooking appliances and keep clean.

• Keep a pot cover nearby to “put a lid on it” in the event of a fi re.

• Avoid loose long sleeves when cooking.

• Check kettles and toast-ers for damaged electrical cords and thermostats

• Use appliances that have an automatic shut-off.

• Keep a timer handy to re-

mind when oven and burn-ers should be switched off

• If medications cause drows-iness -do not use cooking appliances.

• Fire extinguisher should be purchased and installed in the kitchen area.Living Room

• Occupants of RHUs in which fireplaces are in-stalled shall always use a fi re screen making sure it is the correct size for the fireplace opening. Ashes from the fi re place shall be placed in a covered metal container and placed out-side, well away from any building, flammable and combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fi re. Problems with damper control or breakdown of mortar around bricks shall be reported to CFHA loc 765-1294.

• Do not overload electrical outlets or use extension cords in place of additional outlets, a CSA approved

Fire Chief’s Corner - Safety Tips for the Home

power bar with circuit breaker can be utilized for electrical equipment.

• Smokers should check fur-niture for fallen cigarettes or embers which can smoul-der undetected for several hours before bursting into fl ames.

• Ensure careful use of smok-ing materials and extinguish in water before disposal.

• Never leave cigarettes unat-tended in an ashtray.

• Use safety ashtrays with a double rim and deep centre.

• Keep matches, lighters and lit candles out of reach of children.

• Never leave lit candles unattended.

• Unplug all non essential items, i.e. kettles, night lights, air fresheners

Bedroom• Install at least one smoke

alarm outside each sleeping area. For extra protection install a smoke alarm in every bedroom.

• Test smoke alarms at least monthly.

• Change smoke alarm bat-teries every year.

• Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years.

• Check electrical appliances regularly - electric blankets, heating pads, curling irons, radios, televisions, irons.

• Bedrooms should be non-smoking areas.Basement and Attic

• Remove all combustible and flammable materials from the basement and attic.

• Store gasoline in well-ven-tilated areas - not in base-ments or confi ned areas.

• Do not store propane in-doors.

• Have a thorough yearly maintenance check carried out on all aspects of the

furnace by a professional threw CFHA.

• Ensure a 24” clearance is maintained around the fur-nace at all times.

• Ensure Dryer vent is in good order and lint traps are cleaned on a regular basis.

• Under stairwell kept clear of combustible materials.Garage and Workshop

• Flammable materials - thin-ners, gasoline, paints, and industrial cleaners - should be stored neatly in approved containers and away from ignition sources.

• Do not smoke or leave matches or lighters in the garage or workshop.

• Install and be knowledge-able in the use of the ap-propriate fi re extinguisher for the area.

• Keep the area clean - re-move garbage, paper prod-ucts, oily rags and wood shavings regularly.

• Use only approved contain-ers to store and transport gasoline.

By: Tim Robertson, Grade 4 teacher, Kingston ElementaryAfter discussing the terrible actions that had taken place in Haiti on January 12 of this year

with my grade 4 class, they immediately wanted to do something to help the people of that country. So, members of the class met and discussed possible ideas with the principal, Ms. Heather Harris and it was quickly decided that this grade 4 class would lead the efforts of Kingston Elementary to raise the much needed funds to help this ravaged country.

The Robertson Grade 4’s then debated on how to raise the money and it was eventually decided that selling tickets at $.25 a piece for the chance to throw a pie in the face of a teacher was a fun and entertaining way to do it. Little did we know how successful it would be.

With both students and staff happily giving to such an important cause Kingston Elementary was able to raise over $1800.00 to put toward the support of Haiti and its earthquake shattered society.

The event itself, an assembly for the entire school, came to a hugely successful conclusion with the “Pieing” of several teachers including Ms.Heather Harris, our principal, and such teachers as Lynn Charlton (the subject in the attached photo being pied by student Maddie Saunders-Hines). A great time was had by everyone involved, but Kingston is not done there as it will be having an upcoming hotdog sale to bring in more funds to support the Haitian cause. A big “Thank You” to the entire community for its support in this worthwhile cause. (Image submitted)

For more information contact Steve and his staff at the Greenwood Canadian Tire store.

Steve Boutilier, Service Manager for Canadian Tire, Greenwood says, the #1 Antifreeze/coolant in North America and the Offi cial antifreeze of NASCAR, Prestone Antifreeze/coolant provides maximum freezeup and boil over protection (from -84° to +276° F) for cooling systems in automobiles and light duty trucks. Prestone Antifreeze/coolant’s patented Dual Action Formula uses high quality inhibitors to protect against the

ravages of rust and corrosion to all cooling system metals, including the thin aluminum radiators found in today’s new vehicles.

Use a mix of 50% to 70% Prestone Antifreeze/ coolant and water for outstanding protection. Optimum change intervals - Once per year to provide unsurpassed protection.

Steve explains, that unlike engine cooling system antifreeze products, Prestone RV Antifreeze is specially formulated for winterizing

all types of potable water systems, such as those found in vacation homes, boats, RV’s as well as swimming pools and heating systems. This propylene glycol-based antifreeze enables users to prevent water supply pipes from suffering bust damage down to - 50°F, while protecting against the build up of rust and corrosion. The nonpermanent-staining pink colour indicates that it is in the system. Steve reminds motorists when you are ready to use the

water system, just fl ush out until the water runs clear.

Ideal for winterizing all types of portable water plumbing systems. Use undiluted. Optimum change interval - Winterize annually.

By: Lloyd GrahamOn Wednesday, January 13, two grade six classes from the

Pine Ridge Middle School kicked off this year’s 2010 Flight Education (FltEd) Program at Greenwood Military Aviation Museum. This particular visit will be the eighth year that teachers, Mrs. Connie Weinberg and Mr. Kelly Saunders and their classes have participated in this educational museum program.

Utilizing the display and artifacts within the museum the FltEd course is structured in such a way as to complement the school syllabus set out by the Nova Scotia Dept. of Education for a Grade 6 unit called “Flight”.

The program runs once per week, on a Wednesday, from 0930 hrs until noon during the period January to April and hosts fi fty to sixty students and escorts per visit. To do this requires a host of dedicated volunteers and the museum is very fortunate to have over twenty retired air and ground personnel with a wide variety of experience as pilots, navigators, AESOPs, fl ight engineers and technicians who act as guides and instructors for the students. This cadre of retired military volunteers is augmented periodically by regular force personnel from the Squadrons, providing a wide variety of historical and current knowledge for the students to draw on.

The two and one half hour program covers a wide spectrum of fl ying and technological topics such as: 14 Wing and Airforce history, aircraft fl ight instruments and controls; theory of fl ight, aircraft characteristics and design; aircrew and groundcrew duties; engines, propellers and jets; computer fl ight simulation; ASW and the Cold War; simulators; helicopters, parachutes and the role of Search and Rescue.

What keeps the volunteers, teachers and students coming back year after year is the realization of what an excellent historical and educational resource the museum is for the wider community. The program offers these young students an early opportunity to visit a museum, many for the fi rst time, and exposes them to a wide variety of military history and related technology that has been part of the fabric of the Valley for over 65 years. It brings the school’s “Flight” syllabus to life, up close, in greater detail than can be done in the classroom. FltEd is an outstanding example of the military/civilian community cooperation that can be achieved with experienced, knowledgeable volunteers and interested teachers and students motivating each other about fl ying in a very interesting and positive way.

This year nine elementary schools have asked to participate in the FltEd program. Since its preliminary beginning in 2003 with Mrs. Weinberg’s class from Pine Ridge Middle School over 3000 grade 6 students, teachers and escorts have visited the museum for FltEd. From the students perspective it’s a “cool” program. We think so too.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Pressures at home cause you to do a little soul-searching, Aries. What you discover is you need rest more than anything right now. So take a few days off.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You have a full agenda for the week, Taurus. Part of it involves lending a helping hand to Pisces. Finding time will be challenging, but you’ll get everything done.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Romance will have to take a backseat to other responsibilities this week, Gemini. You will have to mend things with your romantic partner afterward, however. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you have been enjoying life in the fast lane, but this week there are a bunch of stop signs ahead. Don’t let it get you discouraged. Home matters take precedence.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23A snap of your fi ngers won’t have people running this week, Leo. You will have to get many of your tasks completed on your own. A fi nancial setback has you thinking.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22A clash of personalities causes tension at the workplace, Virgo. You cannot win this situation, so walk away with grace. Bosses will be looking at your behaviour.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Make a point to visit someone you haven’t seen in a while, Libra. The stars point strongly to domestic ties. An encounter at work leaves you a little shaken up.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22You are all business while others are having fun, Scorpio. Loosen up and enjoy the party for a while instead of being focuses on goals and your workload.SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Travel is in your immediate future, Sagittarius. You had better have a bag packed so you’ll be ready to leave in a moment’s notice. Aquarius wants to come along.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Thank those who have come to your assistance in the last few days, Capricorn. While you don’t relish the thought of asking for help, offer thanks to those who provide it.AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Triple-check your math, Aquarius. There are some discrepancies in your f inances that need some clarifi cation. Virgo has the answers you need on Saturday.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Someone you love gives you wings when you are having trouble getting off the ground, Pisces. Accept the help graciously.

Submitted by: Captain Don ArmstrongThe Greenwood IP’s hosted their Jamboree on January 30th at the

Kingston Arena. There were 10 teams in attendance and a total of 150 kids. Despite the big snow storm that hit the Valley on Friday the 29th, all the teams attended and the Jamboree was a great suc-cess. On behalf of the Greenwood IP Bombers and all the teams that attended we would like to thank Tim Horton’s for their sponsorship and support this season. In addition, a few local businesses lent us support with some very generous donations – Sobeys, Miss Kelly’s Bakery, Sports Swappers, the 14 Wing MFRC and 14 Wing Public Affairs Offi cer Captain Scott Spurr. Last, but certainly not least, we would like to thank all the parents and the managers who volunteered and helped make the jamboree possible. (Image Submitted)
