When CF members suffer a career ending injury or illness, the transition can be stressful as they deal with their medical situation and learn to adapt to life as a civilian. The CF provides comprehensive health care, rehabilitation and support from the moment an injury occurs or an illness is identifi ed. When a decision is made that a CF member can no longer serve in the CF and must be medically released, the CF, SISIP FS and VAC focus their efforts on providing the support required to successfully transition the individual to civilian life.
To illustrate the process, here is a fi ctitious case.Kevin was an infantryman for 10 years when he suffered a
serious leg injury. After three months of medical treatment, he was assigned a CF Nurse Case Manager, posted to the Joint Personnel Support Unit and assigned to an Integrated Personnel Support Centre. After a further year of treatment and rehabilitation, Kevin was awarded a permanent medical category and applied for a Disability Award through VAC. As Kevin no longer meets Universality of Service requirements, he will be medically released. These are some of the supports he can expect:
Timeline: Nine months before releaseSupport
• The CF Nurse, the VAC Case Manager and the IPSC team collaborate to develop a transition/discharge plan to satisfy Kevin’s medical/psychosocial and other support requirements after release.
• Kevin applies for SISIP FS Long Term Disability (LTD) and is assigned a SISIP FS Case Manager and Vocational Counsellor who develop a vocational training plan with him.
• Kevin receives approval from his CO to participate in the CF Vocational Rehabilitation Program for Serving Members, which allows him to be absent from duties for
six months before release.Timeline: Six months before releaseSupport
• Kevin starts full-time vocational training paid for by SISIP FS.
• Kevin and his spouse attend a VAC Transition Interview where VAC support and benefi ts are explained.
• Kevin applies for a provincial health care card and for post-release coverage under the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP).
• If Kevin’s case becomes complex, SISIP FS and VAC Case Managers will review his vocational plan and medical condition to ensure support is coordinated.Timeline: Release and 12 to 18 months afterSupport
• VAC medical/psychosocial rehabilitation and SISIP LTD income replacement payments begin. Vocational rehabili-tation under SISIP FS continues. SISIP FS reviews Kevin’s medical condition at 12 and 18 months.Timeline: 24 months post-releaseSupport
• Kevin completes his training and SISIP FS provides him with résumé preparation and employment search assistance.
• SISIP FS determines that Kevin has the training and ex-perience to return to work. SISIP FS support ceases. (If Kevin’s condition prevented him from returning to work, SISIP FS would determine if he is “totally disabled” and SISIP LTD income replacement support would continue until his condition improved or age 65.)
• VAC continues to provide medical/psychosocial rehabili-tation support.Timeline: 24 months + post-releaseSupport
• If Kevin initially has diffi culty fi nding work due to his medical condition, VAC can provide further Earnings Loss support and job fi nding assistance.
• Once Kevin is employed, VAC Earnings Loss support ceases. If needed, medical/psychosocial support will continue.
• When Kevin is successfully re-established in civilian life, his VAC Rehabilitation Plan will be closed. If his circumstances change in the future, he can re-apply to VAC for support.This is a straightforward case scenario and not everyone
will share the same experience as Kevin.For more information, please visit: www.sisip.com and

Ron Sheppard, coach of the 1974 /1975 Greenwood Bombers Hockey Team passed away in the Red Deer, Alberta, Regional
Hospital on 6 January 2011. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for the past six months.
The Bombers won the Maritime Intermediate Championship in April 1975
by defeating O’Leary, PEI. They were led by the three goal performance of the late Gerry Norum and the stellar defence of George Clark and Jim “Lefty” Frizzle. Some other members of the
team were George Gillis, Dave Kennedy and Wayne Graves. They had previously defeated the Bridgetown Hawks to advance.
Sheppard, a member of 14 Wing Greenwood
PERI (Physical Education Recreation Instruction) staff from 1971 until 1975, went on to coach the Newfoundland Gander Flyers to the Allen Cup Playdowns. He also represented 14 Wing
Greenwood, at four Atlantic Region Golf Playoffs.
Ron is survived by three sons. Shawn, Nate and Dean and a daughter Dawn. He was predeceased by his wife Barb in 2006.

personnel are preparing for a major air disaster exercise in Canada’s North next year that will demonstrate advances in aircraft, load and parachute technology. A MAJAID response for OP NANOOK 11 will also test and strengthen human and equipment capabilities for the unique challenges of an air disaster in the North.
MAJAID is the Canadian Forces (CF) emergency response plan to a major air incident that exceeds the local resources of a responsible Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC). Canada Command oversees three JRCCs across Canada that are prepared 24/7 to respond to air disasters in any part of the country.
When a major air disaster strikes, the JRCC responsible for the region is notifi ed and it coordinates a Search and Rescue response. Depending on the magnitude of the disaster,
Canadian Forces OP NANOOK 11 MAJAID Exercise to Employ New and Improved CF Capabilities
a MAJAID may then be declared resulting in a rapid succession of events to provide immediate, additional support to survivors.
“MAJAID implementation base would have staff called in to coordinate a C-130 Hercules aircraft loaded with MAJAID equipment including a 12-man airborne support group from the CF Land Advanced Warfare Centre (CFLAWC),” said Captain Kelsey Barnes, Operations Offi cer for CFLAWC.
“The aircraft would be loaded according to the size of the crash.”
CFLAWC provides operational support to Search and Rescue (SAR) teams and offers a long list of extensive courses on Arctic operations advising, parachute rigging, mountain operations, aerial delivery, to name a few. CFLAWC can deploy two six-member-teams on four hours notice, ready to support a major air disaster.
Depending on the magnitude and type of crash, the CC-130 Hercules aircraft would be equipped with survival kits that may include an eight-wheel all-terrain vehicle called the ARGO, tents, heaters, generators, blankets and more.
In keeping with ongoing technological advances, experiences and lessons learned, air disaster response equipment is constantly evolving to ensure premium effi ciency and performance.
The Canadian Forces CC-130J Super Hercules aircraft is one of those advances. This new model, which began to arrive in 2010, will replace the older aircraft in the Hercules fl eet. Amongst other impressive capabilities, the CC-130J offers a computerized parachute dropping mechanism that increases the precision and accuracy of parachute drops to air disaster survivors.
There have also been changes to MAJAID survival kits. An 80-person
survival kit has been replaced with 20-person survival kits so that parachute drops to a crash site are more likely to succeed.
For instance, if there were 80 survivors needing help at a crash site, a drop of the 80-person MAJAID survival kit was a much greater challenge than the current 20-person kit.
“Rather than dropping a physically huge kit, that’s basically the size of a large bedroom, you can provide a more scalable response,” said Major Howard Tetzlaff, who leads a team of CF personnel who maintain MAJAID survival kits.
There are other advantages as well.
“If you drop a heavy load 80-person kit and it gets lost (due to bad weather, etc.) there’s the risk of losing 100 percent of your MAJAID load,” said Captain Barnes. “But by splitting the loads into 20-person drops, there’s less risk of losing all four loads so we still have 75 percent of our equipment.”
Although used in the past by Search and Rescue Technicians, the CSAR7A parachute is now also being adapted by the CFLAWC airborne support group.
“This new parachute, as well as new operator skill-sets, allow a jumper much greater fl exibility. Unlike some other parachutes, it can be used in weather conditions that could limit many other canopies,” said Master Warrant Offi cer Gavin Lee, the senior Search and Rescue Technician at Canada Command.
“The CSAR7A is much more manoeuvrable than the previous chute,” he said. “You can fl y it into confi ned areas. As well, the CSAR7A can open and operate in stronger wind conditions. That said, the new canopy gives the jumper a lot more confi dence when jumping into a dangerous situation with a heavy equipment load.”
The MAJAID exercise during OP NANOOK 11 will demonstrate these new
CF equipment capabilities. It will also demonstrate the extensive training of CFLAWC’s airborne support group.
Canada Command is responsible for Canadian Forces routine and contingency operations in Canada, continental North America, and their maritime approaches. The CF has three main roles: to protect Canada; defend North America in co-operation with the United States; and contribute to international peace and security. Canada Command works in close partnership with federal departments and agencies, as well as with continental, provincial and territorial organizations, on sovereignty and security issues in the North, as part of the Canada First Defence Strategy. Op NANOOK 11 is one of three major recurring sovereignty operations conducted annually by the Canadian Forces in the North.

Par Isabella Mindak Le 10 janv. 2011Les membres des Forces
c a n a d i e n n e s ( F C ) s e préparent pour un exercice de catastrophe aérienne dans le Nord du Canada l’an prochain qui fera la démonstration de progrès dans la technologie aéronautique, de chargement et de parachutisme. Une intervention CATAIR pour l’Op Nanook 11 testera aussi et renforcera les capacités humaines et l’équipement pour les défi s uniques d’une catastrophe aérienne dans le Nord.
Une CATAIR est le plan d’intervention d’urgence des Forces canadiennes (FC) en cas d’incident aérien majeur qui dépasse les ressources locales d’un Centre conjoint de coordination des opérations de sauvetage (CCCOS). Le Commandement Canada supervise trois CCCOS au Canada qui sont prêts 24/7 pour répondre à des catastrophes aériennes dans tous les coins du pays.
Quand une catastrophe aérienne se produit , le CCCOS responsable de la région est informé et coordonne une intervention de recherche et sauvetage. Selon la magnitude de la catastrophe, une CATAIR peut alors être déclarée, causant une succession
rapide d’act ivi tés pour fournir un appui immédiat e t supp lémenta i re aux survivants.
« La base de mise en œuvre CATAIR aurait du personnel appelé pour coordonner un aéronef C-130 Hercules c h a r g é d ’ é q u i p e m e n t C ATA I R , i n c l u a n t u n groupe d’appui aéroporté de 12 personnes appartenant au Centre d’instruction supérieure en guerre terrestre
L’exercice de CATAIR de l’Op Nanook 11 des FC emploiera des capacités nouvelles et améliorées
des Forces canadiennes (CISGTFC), » a déclaré le Capitaine Kelsey Barnes, officier des opérations du CISGTFC. « L’aéronef devrait être chargé selon l’importance de l’écrasement. »
Le CISGTFC fourni l’appui opérationnel aux équipes de recherche et sauvetage (SAR) et offre une longue liste de cours approfondis sur les opérations dans l’Arctique,
l’arrimage des parachutes, les opérations en montagne, le largage aérien pour n’en nommer que quelques uns. Le CISGTFC peut déployer deux équipes de six membres à quatre heures de préavis, p r ê t e s à a p p u y e r u n e catastrophe aérienne.
Selon la magnitude et le type d’écrasement, l’aéronef CC-130 Hercules serait équipé de trousses de survie qui peuvent inclure un
véhicule tout-terrain à huit roues appelé ARGO, des tentes, des chaufferettes, des génératrices, des couvertures et plus encore.
En vertu des progrès technologiques actuels, les expériences et les leçons re tenues , l ’équipement d’intervention en cas de catastrophe aérienne évolue constamment pour assurer la primauté à l’effi cacité et à la performance.
L’ a é r o n e f C C - 1 3 0 J Super Hercules des Forces canadiennes est un de ces progrès. Ce nouveau modèle qui a commencé à arriver en 2010, remplacera l’aéronef plus vieux du parc d’Hercules. Parmi d’autres capacités impressionnantes, le CC-130J offre un mécanisme de largage de parachutes informatisé qui augmente la précision des largages de parachutes vers des survivants d’une catastrophe aérienne.
Il y a aussi des changements aux t rousses de survie CATAIR. Une trousse de survie pour 80 personnes a été remplacée par des trousses de survie pour 20 personnes de sorte que les largages par parachute vers un site d’écrasement ont plus de chance de réussir.
Par exemple, s’il y a 80 survivants qui ont besoin d’aide à un site d’écrasement, un largage d’une trousse de survie CATAIR pour 80 personnes était un défi beaucoup plus grand que la trousse actuelle pour 20 personnes.
« Plutôt que de larguer une trousse physiquement importante qui a de base la dimension d’une grande chambre à coucher, vous pouvez fournir une réaction plus ajustable, » a indiqué le Major Howard Tetzlaff qui dirige une équipe de membres des FC qui maintient les trousses de survie CATAIR.
I l y a auss i d’autres avantages.
« Si vous largues une lourde charge telle une trousse pour 80 personnes et qu’elle se perd (à cause de la météo, etc.), il y a le risque de perdre 100%
de votre charge CATAIR, » a indiqué le Capitaine Barnes. « Mais en séparant la charge en largages pour 20 personnes, il y a moins de risque de perdre les quatre charges de sorte que nous avons toujours 75% de notre équipement. »
Bien qu’il ait été utilisé par le passé par les techniciens en recherche et sauvetage, le parachute CSAR7A est maintenant aussi adapté par le groupe d’appui aéroporté du CISGTFC.
« Ce nouveau parachute a i n s i q u e l e n o u v e l ensemble de compétence pour les opérateurs, permet à un parachutiste d’avoir une beaucoup plus grande fl exibilité. Contrairement à certains autres parachutes, il peut être utilisé dans des conditions météo qui pourraient limiter certaines autres coupoles, » a indiqué l’Adjudant-maître Gavin Lee, le technicien senior en recherche et sauvetage du Commandement Canada.
« Le CSAR7A est beaucoup plus manœuvrable que le parachute précédent, » a-t-il dit. « Vous pouvez voler dans des zones restreintes. De même, le CSAR7A peut s’ouvrir et opérer dans des conditions de vent plus fort. Ceci dit, la nouvelle coupole donne au pa rachu t i s t e beaucoup plus confiance lorsqu’il saute dans une situation dangereuse avec une lourde charge d’équipement. »
L’exercice CATAIR au cours de l’Op Nanook 11 démontrera les capacités de ce nouvel équipement. Il démontrera aussi l’instruction approfondie du groupe d ’ a p p u i a é r o p o r t é d u CISGTFC.
Le Commandement Canada est responsable des opérations courantes et de contingence des Forces canadiennes au Canada, en Amérique du Nord continentale et dans leurs approches maritimes. Les FC ont trois rôles principaux : protéger le Canada, défendre l’Amérique du Nord en coopération avec les États-Unis et contribuer à la paix et à la sécurité internationale. Le Commandement Canada travaille en étroit partenariat avec les organisa t ions continentales, provinciales et territoriales sur les enjeux de souveraineté et de sécurité dans le Nord dans le cadre de la Stratégie de défense : le Canada d’abord. L’Op Nanook 11 est une de trois opérations de souveraineté r é c u r r e n t e s c o n d u i t e s annuellement par les Forces canadiennes dans le Nord.

SECURITY – GUARDING – CONSULTING – FINGERPRINTING & ID – TRAINING – ENFORCEMENT
By Ali MacDonaldNoah (age 8) and Zachery
(age 9): two little boys with many life similarities. Close in age, each has a Dad who is a 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (14 AMS) member. Their families live in the Annapolis Valley - the MacDonalds (Noah’s family) in Kingston, the Pyettes (Zac’s family) in New Albany. Each child has three siblings, and parents who work toward maximizing all of the potential each of their children possess. I’m Ali, Noah’s Mom, and my husband, Sergeant Pete MacDonald and I have become good friends with Zac’s parents, Tammy and Master Corporal Steve Pyette.
Our little boys now share another life experience: each has received the powerful gift of an Autism Assistance Dog Guide from the Lions Foundation of Canada.
N o a h a n d Z a c w e r e diagnosed early on with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Through hard work, both have made significant developmental gains. That said, each little fellow experiences anxiety. Both have diffi culty
Mirroring the Base Motto- Little Guys and Dog Guides Learn to “Operate as One”
understanding safety. Social skills that many take for granted such as understanding how to participate in a game, read facial expressions and start -- then maintain -- a conversation are challenges for both children. Noah’s challenges are heightened since he began the journey after diagnosis at 2 ½ yrs of age in a completely non-verbal state.
Noah and Zachery, by virtue of the ASD that enhances their uniqueness, have challenged their parents to fi nd the best ways to help them learn, stay safe, cope with anxiety and “fi t in.”
Pete and I constantly work on the use of everyday language with Noah. Safety is a huge stressor for our family, because Noah has no understanding of it, and the risks to a child as vulnerable as he is loom large in our minds. Noah could bolt away from us during a walk, dart out in front of a car, or wander from the house and not be able to tell anyone his address. Home safety includes high door locks, door alarms and constant supervision indoors and out. He is never
left alone. “Zoning in on” the sound of Noah’s voice allows me to keep tabs on him because he often vocalizes & sings. Noah also experiences severe anxiety related to noise. Even benign-seeming sounds cause him to try to escape from the situation, cover his ears, or cry. A microwave oven, a snowblower, or the low hum of winter tires on the van are all anxiety-producing sounds. Some can be avoided—not all.
Tammy and Steve, Zac’s parents, also pinpoint their son’s safety as a major concern. Tammy says that Zac “doesn’t ‘run off’ like Noah tries to, but he will take himself to the public washroom without telling us if he has to go. Or -- stay behind to look at something when the rest of the family continues down the aisle. If I were out with just him it wouldn’t be an issue, but with 4 kids...” Zac has also gone outside alone to play without telling his parents. He is attracted to water, such as the neighbour’s pond, but he can’t swim. Tammy says that loud noises are anxiety producing for Zac, explaining that “if it
would bug us a little it bugs him A LOT.” If covering his ears isn’t helpful, Zac will hide. If a fi re alarm was the cause of the noise, this could be dangerous, especially if the anxiety has made him unable to respond to rescuers. Social situations also cause anxiety. When Zac’s emotions overwhelm him, he will hide and cry, and anxiety over a prolonged period can cause him to pull out his hair
by the fi stful.Researching ways to help
keep our vulnerable child safer, I learned of dogs as a source of help, but there were long wait lists and huge expenses involved. I almost gave up. Then, a nightmarish thing happened in Nova Scotia. A child with autism became lost in the woods as a winter storm blew in, and although searchers found him, he passed away.
As the province grieved for that little boy, I tried one last time to see if I could fi nd some way for Noah to have the help of a well-trained dog for safety. This time, the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides website p o p p e d u p . D e s c r i b i n g what a Dog Guide could do to help a child with ASD, the site explained: “Autism Assistance Dog Guides provide safety, companionship and unconditional love for those in need” (Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides website: http://www.dogguides.com/news/news.htm).
The program was new and being led by head trainer Chris Fowler, who had a great deal of experience in placing dogs with families who had a child with autism. A call to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program encouraged me to apply. I did so, including input from Noah’s educational team and our doctor. All was mailed on January 25th. I told the Pyettes about the program, wondering if it could be of help to Zac. They applied as well.
In April, both families were

2011 has arrived, and with it our community will see the return of the fourth annual 14 Wing Wellness Campaign. The ongoing campaign is based on the idea
that a healthy community is a happy community, and a happy community is a supportive community for our troops.
The 14 Wing Community Centre and GMFRC will
once again be partnering to offer a day of snowshoe bliss on Friday January 28th, at the 14 Wing Greenwood Golf Course. This event is a challenge to all Military
14 Wing Family Snowshoe and Sleigh Ride Dayand Defence Team members to get active, and enjoy the afternoon with their families. The event is offered from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. and is designed for all Defence Team members and valid Recreation Card holders only. Please note that if there is inclement weather, the event will be held on Friday February 11th during the same time as mentioned above.
This event is also a “Take the Roof off Winter” celebration. According to Recreation Nova Scotia, “Take the Roof off Winter” is a physically activity campaign designed to help Nova Scotians of all ages improve their health and quality of life by getting outdoors and being more active this winter. To learn more about this winter campaign, please visit www.taketheroofoffwinter.ca
As mentioned, this fourth annual Family Snowshoe Day is an event designed for the entire family. We have snowshoes to fit any size foot, big or small. Plus, there will also be a Kid Zone where your child can enjoy a face painting, crosswords,
Lorsqu’un militaire des Forces canadiennes (FC) subit une blessure ou est atteint d’une maladie l’empêchant de poursuivre sa carrière, sa transition de la vie militaire à la vie civile peut s’avérer diffi cile puisqu’il doit non seulement
faire face à sa situation médicale, mais aussi s’adapter à la vie en tant que civil. Les FC offrent des services complets de soutien aux militaires blessés ou malades afin de traiter tout problème de santé physique ou mentale auquel ils pourraient être confrontés; ces services de soutien sont mis en place dès que survient la blessure ou que la maladie est diagnostiquée. Lorsqu’il est décidé que le militaire ne peut plus servir au sein des FC et doit être libéré pour des raisons médicales, les FC, les SF RARM et ACC concentreront leurs efforts pour lui offrir le soutien nécessaire et assurer sa transition harmonieuse à la vie civile.
Afi n d’illustrer ce processus, étudions le cas fi ctif suivant :
Kevin était un fantassin dans la Force régulière depuis dix ans lorsqu’il a subi une grave blessure à la jambe. Après trois mois de traitement médical, une infirmière des FC a été assignée à la gestion de son cas; Kevin pour sa part a été affecté à un poste au sein de l’Unité interarmées de soutien au personnel (UISP), puis dirigé vers un Centre intégré de soutien du personnel (CISP). Après une autre année de
traitement et de réadaptation, on lui a assigné une catégorie médicale permanente, et il demande alors une indemnité d’invalidité auprès d’ACC. Étant donné que Kevin ne rempli plus les normes de l’universalité du service, il sera libéré pour raisons médicales. Vo ic i ce r t a ins sou t i ens auxquels il peut s’attendre :
Échéancier : 9 mois avant la date de libération (DL)
Soutien• L’infi rmière des FC, le ges-
tionnaire de cas d’ACC et l’équipe du CISP colla-borent pour développer un plan de transition/libération pour satisfaire aux besoins médicaux/psychosociaux et les autres soutiens dont Kevin aura besoin après la libération.
• Kevin présente une demande d’assurance-invalidité pro-longée (AIP) auprès des SF RARM, laquelle est ac-ceptée. Un gestionnaire de cas et un conseiller en ori-entation des SF du RARM sont affectés à son dossier et développent un plan de formation professionnelle avec lui.
• Kevin reçoit l’autorisation de son commandant pour participer au Programme de
réadaptation professionnelle pour militaires en service ac-tif des FC, ce qui lui permet d’être absent de ses fonctions pendant six mois avant sa libération.Échéancier : 6 mois avant
la libérationSoutien
• Kevin commence une for-mation professionnelle à temps plein payée par les SF RARM.
• Kevin et son épouse par-ticipent à une entrevue de transition d’ACC où on leur explique les services et le soutien qu’ACC met à leur disposition.
• Kevin présente une de-mande pour une carte pro-vinciale d’assurance-mal-adie et soumet sa demande d’admissibilité en vertu du Régime de soins de san-té de la fonction publique (RSSFP).
• Si le cas de Kevin devi-ent plus complexe, les gestionnaires de cas des SF du RARM et d’ACC procèderont à un examen de son plan de réadaptation pro-fessionnelle et de son affec-tion médicale pour s’assurer que le soutien est coordonné.Échéancier : À la libération
et à 12 et 18 mois après la
libérationSoutien
• La réadaptation médicale et psychosociale d’ACC et les prestations de rem-placement du revenu des SF RARM débutent. La réadaptation professionnelle des SF RARM se poursuit. Les SF RARM procèderont à un examen de son affection médicale au terme de 12 mois et de 18 mois.Échéancier : 24 mois après
la libérationSoutien
• Kevin termine sa formation et les SF RARM lui fournis-sent de l’aide pour la prépa-ration d’un curriculum vitae et la recherche d’un emploi.
• Les SF RARM détermi-nent que Kevin a la forma-tion nécessaire et détient l’expérience requise pour retourner au travail. Les soutiens des SF RARM prennent fi n. (Si l’affection de Kevin devait l’empêcher de retourner travailler, les SF RARM détermineraient qu’il est atteint d’une « invalidité totale » et le rem-placement du revenu des SF du RARM continuerait jusqu’à ce que son affec-tion s’améliore ou qu’il ait 65 ans.)
• ACC continue de lui offrir un soutien concernant sa réadaptation médicale et psychosociale.Échéancier : Plus de 24
mois après la libérationSoutien
• Si Kevin a initialement de la difficulté à trouver un emploi en raison de son affection, ACC peut verser l’Allocation pour perte de revenus et offrir de l’aide pour la recherche d’un em-ploi.
• Quand Kevin se trouve un emploi, l’Allocation pour perte de revenus prend fi n. Si requis, les soutiens en matière de réadaptation médicale/psychosociale se poursuivent.
• Lorsque Kevin sera pleine-ment réintégré à la vie civile, son plan de réadaptation d’ACC prendra fi n. Si sa situation change à l’avenir, il peut présenter une nouvelle demande à ACC.Le cas présenté ici est assez
simple et tous ne vivront pas les mêmes expériences que Kevin. Pour plus de renseignements, veu i l l e z s ’ i l - vous -p l a î t consulter : www.sisip.com ou www.vac-acc.gc.ca

etc. Please note that the Kid Zone is not a child care service, and children can not be dropped off and left unsupervised.
This event will once again be in partnership with the GMFRC who will provide sleigh rides and hot drinks for all families during 3:30 - 5:30p.m. These sleigh rides will depart from the 14 Wing Golf course and allow the opportunity for all families to enjoy a sleigh ride before, after or while waiting for your chance to hit the links in snowshoes! If you would like to bring your own snowshoes, cross country skis, Nordic walking poles, etc you can! Plus, prizes can be won along the course and additional prizes will be handed out back in the club house.
So make sure you mark the fourth annual14 Wing Family Snowshoe and Sleigh Ride Day on your calendars! This event is a great way to “Take the Roof off Winter” and kick start 2011 with physical activity for the entire family. For more information, please call 765-1494 ext. 5337 or ext 1421.

Who knows where this journey will take you and what will happen along the way?TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Over protectiveness can be a cause of concern, Taurus. Keeping mum simply because you don’t trust others may end up alienating friends and family members.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21There’s no time for ambivalence, Gemini. Make a choice and stick with it. Financial matters come to the forefront on Wednesday, when paying bills becomes a sticky situation. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, others can’t lend a hand if you don’t let them know you need some help. Taking on projects that are too big to handle alone seems to be your way of operating.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, there’s something you’re forgetting, but it could take a few days before it pops back into your head. Try slowing down because life is passing you by.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, your traditional approach to business won’t work this week. It’s time to change the way you present yourself and interact with others. It could help you all around.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23A change is going to come, Libra, and for you it’s going to be a big change. Start packing your suitcase because travel is in your immediate future. Bring a loved one along. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, your hard work and dedication have fi nally paid off. Now you get to reap the rewards of all your efforts for the past few months.SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you will fi nd your life this week is a balancing act. One false move and everything can come tumbling down. Better start practicing your juggling.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, instead of pouring fuel on the fi re, fi nd ways to extinguish the blaze. Speaking of getting hot, your romantic life heats up in the next few days as well.AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you don’t like to be out of control, but this week you may have to put your trust in fate. You won’t be able to guide this ship into port on your own.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, step up and take control when the going gets tough. Someone has been seeking you out. An admirer?

...continued from page 9.visited and assessed by the Autism Assistance Dog Guides head trainer. Amid lots of “high fi ves,” approval of the applications came in May. We were all thrilled: our boys would receive Autism As-sistance Dog Guides, and im-proved peace of mind was on the horizon for both families!
Based on Chris Fowler’s as-sessment, dogs were matched to Noah and Zac’s specific needs and personalities. When the dogs had completed their training, the Foundation fl ew Pete and I, and Zac’s Dad, Steve, to Oakville, Ontario. It was incredibly exciting for us to finally meet the two dogs that would be our sons’ sidekicks! At the Dog Guides Training Centre, with other parents of children who had autism, we learned to care for, work with, and properly handle the dog that had been chosen for our child. We also learned of ways to foster the bond between our child and his Dog Guide. Steve, Pete and I realized that, mirroring the motto of Canadian Forces Base 14 Wing Greenwood, where we were currently sta-tioned, our ultimate goal was
to help Noah and Zac and their Dog Guides learn to “Operate as one.”
On December 17th, Noah and Zac were each able to meet their new friends. Noah’s dog is a male black lab named Argo. Zac’s “buddy,” as he calls her, is a black lab named Iris. They are extra-special, be-ing the fi rst Lions’ Foundation of Canada Autism Assistance Dog Guides in the Annapolis Valley.
When working, each dog wears a vest identifying it as an Autism Assistance Dog Guide. The vest includes a handle that the child can hold. A parent holds the leash. In early 2011, a Lions Foundation of Canada Autism Assistance Dog Guide Program trainer will visit and help “tweak” the way the dog, child and parents work together. This will be unique in each child’s case. For example, a child like Noah who might bolt away on outings would need to learn to wear a waist belt by which he is tethered to the dog. (He can still hold the vest’s handle, of course.) If Noah were to try to run away, a parent would tell Argo to “STAY.” The Dog Guide has been trained to immediately lie
down, preventing Noah from bolting into danger.
Basic safety enhancement for the children is the “meat” of having an Autism Assis-tance Dog Guide, and there’s some ‘mighty tasty gravy’ too! As Dog Guide and child form a bond, the Dog Guide‘s calming, consistent infl uence provides the collateral benefi t of helping to reduce anxiety, increase social interaction and promote independence (http://www.dogguides.com/news/news.htm). Recent Ca-nadian research has confi rmed that the use of service dogs with children who have au-tism helps to “reduce stress and behaviour problems.” (http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/10/20/service-dogs-autism-stress/10792/) As you can imagine, these benefits are of great help to the child’s family as well.
Noah and Zac are connect-ing with their new friends. For some children, the bonding process can take six months to one year. To foster it, we, as parents, help Noah and Zachery feed, play with, and groom their Dog Guides. Noah likes to hand-feed Argo bits of kibble before he gives him the bowl. He’s also learning to throw a ball for his dog to fetch. When Argo is sleeping, Noah plops down beside him and places his book on the Dog Guide. He then happily fl ips the pages: Argo is his “library critter!” Zac likes to cuddle with Iris, and reads aloud to her when he thinks no one is listening. He also delights in their games of Frisbee. Tammy says that sometimes Zac takes Iris to his room where the dog dozes while he plays with his robots. Zac also likes to put dog treats in his pocket and run
around the house asking Iris to “chase me!” Argo and Iris both snuggle to sleep with the boys at night. For Zac, this has been an immediate catalyst for better sleep patterns. When Iris started sleeping with him, Zac began staying in his own bed all night rather than crawling in with his parents or brother.
A special thank you goes out to the Lions Foundation of Canada’s Autism Assis-tance Dog Guides Program. Dog Guides create powerful ripples, like those moving outward from a splash in the water. The effects of those ripples will continue to be felt
as our little boys and their Dog Guides further bond and learn to “Operate as one.” Through Noah and Zac’s increased safety, lessened anxiety and enhanced opportunities for so-cial interaction, positive change will radiate, helping them move forward on life’s pathway.
One of the biggest benefi ts of all is the connection these two Dog Guides have helped strengthen: the connection between two military families with similar life circumstances.
Thank You, Argo.Thank You, Iris.Thank You, Lions Founda-
tion of Canada.

Submitted by: Stephanie Townsend at 765-1494 local 1816 or email at [email protected] posting season fast approaches, many are faced with the concerns of selling their homes and relocating
to a new and often unfamiliar area. How do we prepare for this? What page of life’s manual are these answers on? With so many things to consider, it’s no wonder it can be a stressful time. There are unique barriers in everyone’s situation as well. For instance, you may be looking at selling your home in a rural area where there are fewer buyers so making your property attractive and competitive in price and curb appeal is a key component. You’re then presented with this question: Do I use a REALTOR® or try to sell the house on my own? If I choose to use a REALTOR® to sell for me, who would best serve my needs? If I choose to sell the home myself, how do I generate enough advertising to make buyers aware that my property is the one to see? With so many unknowns it’s no wonder that some people fi nd it more than they can handle.
This spring you can get all of your questions answered and learn all about the options available to you by attending the Home Sellers Seminars offered here at the GMFRC. Join us as we welcome local professionals who will be available to answer questions in all areas of home buying and selling and who will tackle any other concerns you may have. This is a wonderful opportunity to understand what your options are; how to choose what’s best for you and your family; and to get answers for questions you may have about entering the realty market. Our fi rst Home Sellers Seminar will be on Monday, February 7, 2011. To register for this wonderful seminar or for additional date information, please contact the GMFRC at 765-5611.

Greenwood skaters took to the ice at the new Berwick Arena on January 8th and met competition from 60+ skaters from across the region and also from Dartmouth and St Margaret’s Bay. The annual event is a popular one and brings starskaters and competitive skaters alike together for a great day of skating.
In the end, the Greenwood skaters walked away with several medals and bragging rights to the Valley Co-Coordinators Trophy for the Valley club accumulating the most championship points for the event. Kentville skaters put up a good challenge but in the end, Greenwoods gold medal count put them over the top.
Performing at the event were the Aurora Synchro Team as well as Jenna Breckon, James Hazelton and Alex Robert in single events. Several skaters were making their competitive debuts and had stellar performances. Mariah Martin, Laurie Tremblay, Kacie Cameron and Brooke Johnson skated s t rong in Introductory Ladies and Alyssa Lambert claimed the gold in the B category. In Pre-Preliminary Ladies, Amy Cayen and Victoria Frowen were solid and in her fi rst event at the Preliminary level, Gabrielle Crossley captured a
