A well-deserved andenthusiastic round ofapplause from colleaguesand family memberserupted in the 426 (T)Squadron lounge onMarch 21 when Major(Maj) Chris Conway wasawarded the DivisionC o m m a n d e r ’ sCommendation for hishard work and dedicationthis past year as the leadproject officer forOperation Revamp.

Op Revamp began inFebruary 2006, and plan-ning since has centredaround one mission state-ment for the trainingsquadron: “to producefully operational CC-130Combat Ready (CR) air-crew through a focusedsyllabus with significantlyreduced timelines.” Asecondary goal was tostart the first course (CR07001) for aircrew by Mar2007.

In previous curricu-lum, training CC-130 air-crew to operational andtactical standards tooknine to 14 months. For anAircrew Commander(AC), full qualificationtraining took anywherefrom three to five years.

The duration of thenew CR course is 5½months. Upon gradua-tion, CR crews areemployable in a lowthreat, tactical theatre andcapable of airland and air-drops. Airdrop operationconsists of ContainerDelivery System (CDS)and Light Equipment

(LE) drops.After considering six

possible courses of action(COA), Op Revamp’s keydecision makers recom-mended COA#3 to theDivision Commander,which is focused on thegoal of qualifying ninecomplete CR aircrews, aswell as nine additionalSearch and Rescue (SAR)First Officers (FOs), peryear.

A detailed descriptionof the chosen course canbe found in the powerpoint presentations post-ed under the “OpRevamp” link on the 426Squadron homepage.These presentations out-line the necessaryresources and requiredsimulator/flying hours forCR training, as well asdetailed timelines forpilot, navigator, flightengineer and loadmastertraining schedules.Interested wing personnelare encouraged to visitthese sites and learn aboutthe new training plan.

Three serials, eachgraduating three crews,are scheduled to runannually. The first serialof the year is alreadyunderway. Pilots and nav-igators started traininglast week and loadmasterswill follow suit beginningApril 16. The second andthird serials will beginJuly 1 and October 15,respectively.

Upon completion ofCR training, a crew isfully operational, anddeployable if DAG

It would not take long for awet-behind-the-ears TrafficTech at 2 Air MovementsSquadron to have to answerto the term ‘Trapper’. A termof endearment and rite ofpassage that is in keepingwith traditions and valueslong established within thetrade, it is important to knowthe history of the covetedexpression.

Here is my story.

Upon Graduation fromCanadian Forces School ofTraffic and Movements(CFSTM) in Jun, I wasposted to 1 AMU. I wasassigned a position within 8Mobile Air MovementsSection where I was eagerto begin my adventure as aMAMS tech.

Pining for knowledgeand experience, I wasdeployed to Thule,Greenland in support of

EX BOXTOP. It was here,while under the watchfuleye of Sgt “Pictou Pete”Cheverie that I would hearthe term ‘Trapper’ for thefirst time. It would not bethe last as WO JimmyCooper also insisted oncalling all the MAMS per-sonnel ‘Trappers’.

I didn’t think muchabout it back then as I hadyet to break a mold cast bymy years as an infanteerwhere we did not ask ques-tions. ‘Trapper’, to me, wasjust another word for aMAMS person, much thesame as I was called a‘Grunt’ while serving as aninfanteer.

It was not until 1984while posted to 14 WingGreenwood in a position inCMTT clearing Customsfor the CP140 aircraft andpaying invoices for theshipment of freight, that Ihad the pleasure of speak-

ing with Mr. Larry Hatt atDTM in Ottawa. He keptcalling me ‘Trapper’ or‘Trap’each time we spoke. Iimmediately got curiousand asked the inevitablequestion, why was he call-ing me “Trapper”?

His response, “A‘Trapper’ is a Traffic Techwho demonstrates his will-ingness to assist otherswithout being prompted orasked.” To my honor, afterhaving dealt with him onmore than several occa-sions, he deemed me wor-thy of being addressed as a‘Trapper’.

Over the years, I gotused to using the term‘Trapper’ when dealingwith Traffic Techs through-out the CF. I continue touse the word “Trapper” inthe same context as Mr.Larry “Trapper” Hatt. Tome, the term “Trapper”refers to someone who is

always there to lend a handand to assist anyone inneed, especially anotherTraffic Tech, without ques-tion.

The term ‘Trapper’manifests the importantvalues that we hold withinour Traffic Tech communi-ty and reflects, not only theway that we treat others,but especially the way thatwe treat our own.Regardless of your rank,next time you are addressedas ‘Trapper’, I hope that youremember this story andtake the time to appreciatewhat it stands for, as some-one obviously thinks thatyou are deserving of beingcalled a ‘Trapper’.

Based on the musings andexperiences of the one andonly MWO and Trapper,Len (Woody) Wood, 2 AirMovements Squadron,2004-Present.

Proud to be called “Trapper”

requirements are met. The gen-eration of employable crewspromises to be astoundinglyefficient and promotes inter-operability between crews as ahuge emphasis has been placedon producing crews with thesame basic CR level across theboard.

As far as Maj Conway is con-cerned, his award is a product of“a huge team effort…[and] cer-tainly belongs to the squadron”.Extremely proud, he is opti-mistic that Op Revamp has laidthe groundwork for a CC 130aircrew training plan that corre-sponds to the incrediblydemanding operational tempoour Canadian Forces faces today.

Search & RescueUPDATE

424 Squadron Tigers had five missions this past week.First was for our Herc— while training in the Trenton area, JRCC sent

the crew to investigate an ELT near Ottawa. The signal was homed to thedowntown area where no apparent distress was observed. Our crew recoveredin Ottawa for fuel then returned home to Trenton.

Next mission was also for our CC-130. The crew was sent for anotherELT, this time in the London area. The signal was homed to a hangar at theTillsonburg airport. The local CASARA unit was contacted and they weretasked to investigate. JRCC released the crew and they returned to Trenton.

The next mission involved both the Herc and Griffon, tasked to investi-gate a report of a person in the water near Frenchman Bay. The call turnedout to be a false alarm and both crews returned to London where 424Squadron has been conducting a search exercise.

The final call-out was for our Griffon to look for a lost ice fisherman nearMexico Bay, New York. The mission was canceled before the crew got air-borne.

Until next time, stay safe.

The 8 Wing/CFBTrenton OutdoorsPursuits Club is a recre-ation club that has grownout of the changes thatthe 8 Wing/CFB TrentonFish and Game Club haveundergone.

The intent of the clubis to provide a frameworkfor different activities tooperate under a club set-ting without the need foran executive staff andconstitution for each indi-vidual activity.

The OutdoorsPursuits Club will have anexecutive committee, con-stitution and bylaws.

Any activity that wish-es to operate under theumbrella of the OutdoorsPursuits Club only needsto have a chairperson.

The chairperson of theactivity will become oneof the executives of theOutdoors Pursuits Club.

The activities that areenvisioned to operateunder the umbrella of theOutdoors Pursuits Clubare ATV, snowmobiling,rock climbing, paintballing, fishing, huntingand skeet to name a few.

The club will offer thesame type of member-ships that are recognizedin accordance with moraleand welfaredirectives.The types ofmemberships available areRegular, Ordinary andAssociate.

The restrictions thatexist within the frame-work of CFAO 50-20 willalso apply.

Not only will individ-uals who enjoy the sameinterests be able to gettogether to enjoy thoseactivities within a clubsetting, they will also havethe bonus of having limit-ed access to three of the

six cabins at NorthernLodge that have been setaside for use by membersof the Outdoors PursuitsClub.

Now for the hook--the club needs an execu-tive committee. There is aneed for a President,Vice-President, Secretaryand Treasurer.

These key positionsmust be filled as perCFAO 50-20 in thatthese positions must befilled by regular members.The chairperson of eachactivity may be an ordi-nary or associate member.

For information onthis exciting new club,please contact DaveElverson at local 2627 orthe Personnel SupportProgram (PSP)Community RecreationDirector, JudiChristopherson, at local2349.

If your child is level six (6) or high-er and has an interest in lifesaving,they may want to try CanadianSwim Patrol as a break from, or anadd-on, to regular classes.

The Lifesaving Society offersthis “on-ramp to life-guarding”, apre-Bronze training course for

young people interested in goingbeyond just learning how to swim.

This course will take place onTuesdays, from April 10 to June 12from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m.

Cost: $35 for CRA members; $40for military community, non-mem-bers; $60 for the general public.

No matter how goodyou are at your work,there is a chance youwill make a wrongmove. It could be forjust a second puttingyour hand in front of ablade or under a punch,or stepping too close toa conveyor.

That ’s wheremachine guards comein. They protect youagainst the day whenyou make one smallwrong move. There arecountless reports ofaccidents where a work-er was injured or killedbecause a machineguard was missing ormisused. It’s easy to for-get about the impor-tance of machineguards, especially if you

have managed to workwithout an accident.You might feel theguard gets in your wayor slows you down, or ittakes too long toreplace the guard afteradjusting or servicingthe machine. But thefact is a machine guardis there to protect you.Use it the way it wasintended. These aresome of the types ofguards which protectyou against mechanicalhazards:

Barrier guards workby enclosing the dan-gerous area and keepingyou out. They preventyou from reaching intoany of the movingparts. They may protectyou from flying debrisand from broken partssuch as chains or belts.

Another kind ofguard holds you back oractually pulls you backfrom the point of oper-ation at the crucialtime.

Two-handed con-trols require you to keepboth hands engaged atthe controls while themachine is operating.This keeps your handsaway from the danger

area.Electronic sensors

can also serve as guards.They prevent themachine from operat-ing when a part of yourbody, such as your hand,enters the work zone.

Interlocking guardskeep you from runningthe machine unless theguards are in place andthey keep you fromopening the guardwhile the machine is inuse.

These are just someof the kinds of guardswhich can protect youfrom moving machin-ery. Before you go towork on a job, makesure the guards are inplace, they are properlyadjusted and workingcorrectly. If you suspectany problem, report itimmediately.

Don’t forget aboutusing guards off-the-job as well. Equipmentranging from wood-working tools to lawn-mowers have guards.Make sure to use themthe way they areintended, so they canprotect you when youmake that one wrongmove.

Machine guards are on your side

Use of small electrical appliances in work areas,workstations and offices

Purpose:The purpose of this policy is to pro-vide the field with direction regardingthe use of small electrical appliances inwork areas, workstations and offices.

Compliance requirement:This policy provides the local authori-ties with the flexibility to ensure thatthe concerns of both occupationalhealth and safety, and fire safety can beproperly addressed. Most fires startedby portable heaters and small electricalappliances are due to carelessness inuse and inadequate guarding resultingin the ignition of surrounding com-bustible material.

Base Standing Orders must beamended to read that the use of small

electrical appliances/portable heaterswill only be permitted on an interimbasis. Their use will only be permittedonce a CE Work Request/Work Order(CF 141) has been generated toaddress the problem in the affectedarea. Prior to approval, a qualifiedConstruction Engineering electricianmust ensure that the existing circuitryis capable of carrying the additionalload.

Any device permitted for use in workareas, workstations and offices must beCSA approved, shut down automati-cally if tipped over, be located in anarea free from obstruction, andunplugged at the end of the workingperiod. Any non-authorized smallelectrical appliance shall be removed.

(NC)-Does your homeneed to be repaired orrenovated? Think SAFE-TY FIRST.

Hire a professionalelectrician to make anyimprovements or addi-tions to the electrical sys-tem. Even tasks thatappear simple, such as theinstallation of a base-board heater or addition-al electrical outlets, canbe more difficult thanthey appear.

If your are constantlyblowing fuses or poppingcircuit breakers, it is timefor you to contact yourelectrician. These aresigns of electrical prob-lems that could cause afire. Do not take risks.

During your renova-tions, remember that youcan avoid risks by scrupu-

lously respecting the fol-lowing tips:

. Do you need to ham-mer nails or cut an open-ing in a wall? Shut downthe electric circuits thatserve the room where youare working.

. Before repairing anelectric device, discon-nect it!

. The circuits of yourpower distribution panelshould be clearly markedto show the rooms anditems serviced by eachcircuit.

. Do you need to workin rooms containingwater - like the kitchenor bathroom? Becausewater is an excellent con-ductor of electricity, youshould take the requiredprecautions:

. Ensure that all sur-

faces are clean and dry,ensure that your feet aredry, connect your electrictool to an outletequipped with a differen-tial circuit breaker, andensure that electric cordsand extension cords donot make contact withany pool of water.

. Do you need toreplace a fuse? Beforereplacing a blown fuse, besure that you have areplacement fuse of thesame rating, place themaster switch in theOFF position, and,before restoring current,reduce the load by dis-connecting a few electri-cal devices. If a circuitbreaker pops, this sametechnique must be used,and the short circuit mustbe found.

Home renovations? Beware!

(NC)-Today’s life is chock full of a multi-tude of small repetitive acts, most of themcompletely ordinary, where electricity playsa lead role.Now,although “electricity”is nota synonym for “danger,” it can neverthelessbring about accidents of many kinds, frominsignificant to life threatening.

By following these tips for householdsecurity, you will be able to avoid accidentsand truly enjoy a power source that will giveyou both comfort and well being.

Household Security: Remember...Keep your eyes open at all times.In your

home, there are many sources of danger,and the possibilities of an accident whereinelectricity is a causal factor are numerous.Rooms where water is present - bathrooms,kitchens - require greater vigilance becausethe presence of water increases the risk ofelectric shocks. Be careful when using elec-trical equipment in these rooms: dry yourhands as well as possible, and do not allowany electrical appliance or tool to makecontact with water.

Do not use any electrical apparatus

whatever - hair dryer, razor, etc. - in thebathroom if the electric outlet is notequipped with a protection system (differ-ential circuit breaker).

Always unplug electric cooking devices(electric frying pans, casseroles, etc.) beforecleaning them.

Always disconnect the humidifier,steam iron, and coffee machine before fill-ing them with water.

Overloaded circuits cause headaches! Do you use several electrical devices?

Use several different electrical outlets..Do you have unused electrical devices?

Unplug them.Do you need additional outlets? Use a

power bar equipped with a surge protector.Is your device already plugged in? Use

extra caution.Did a slice of bread get caught in the

toaster? Disconnect the toaster BEFOREremoving the bread.

Does a light bulb need to be changed?Unplug the lamp BEFORE removing theold bulb.

Electricity: Better safe than sorry

Entertainment

The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal Lepage ProAlliance Realtyas the weekly sponsor of The Contact Comics.

April 1 - April 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Long term goals may sooncome to fruition. Make sure to look after your own needsfrom time to time. Be wary of a romantic temptation thisweek. You’ll do the right thing by deciding on the mostmoral of your choices. If you think with your heart aswell as your head (and not with your body), then you’llknow what to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s okay to reward your-self after a financial success, but beware not tooverindulge. Your strong sense of intuition may let youknow who has a secret crush on you. If you follow yourfeelings then you may find yourself falling in love. Peopleare certainly attracted to you and someone in particularmay be admiring you for your beauty, charm and grace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An eccentric relative oruninhibited artistic acquaintance may hold a particularfascination for you today. Be careful how you wordthings for fear of hurting those close to you. You may befaced with a risky decision. Commonsense is the bestcourse. Watch your temper later in the week. Righteousanger can move mountains or help fuel creative projects,but rage is useless without purpose.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22): Taking the time to planahead slowly and carefully may make later moves easier.If you take the time to enlist the help of relatives youmay also discover a few secrets along the way. Surroundyourself with caring family members. Your love for chil-dren is especially strong, this week.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): If you exude a conservativeappeal you may find that people flock to you in admira-tion. Use your people skills to your advantage; thoughmake sure you have all the facts before acting. Gossipmay do harm; knowing where you stand will put you ina good position to navigate any difficulties.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a good time for somespring cleaning, but once you are done, take some timeto do something healthy and wonderful for yourself.Thisweek your inner intuition is strong and wise despite whatothers may think. You’ll be tempted to heed advice but inthe end, your gut feelings will not fail you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your natural sense of gen-erosity will be invoked this week but in your service toothers, make sure you do not forget your own needs.Sage Libran advice can often turn into nagging, so becareful to state your point and let others do their ownthing. Being over-bearing may lead to hurt feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Choosing carefully whatand when you say things to someone close will help cul-tivate a stronger connection. Midweek is a good time tostart a domestic project. All the energy is in place topaint a room or make minor house repairs. Make sureyou do the research on what you want before you pick-up the paint brush.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There is light at theend of the tunnel if you remain patient and continue tomove forward. Take a deep breath and know that every-thing will look brighter soon, enough. Solace can befound either with family or by looking within. Lovealways finds a way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be afraid to askfriends for help and share the praise for a job well done.Your natural independence will combine with your com-petitive streak this week. Be wary of this turning into aself-centered race, where only you can win.Relinquishing control is not easy for you but try toremain open to a necessary change.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This week may be a busyone, indeed. It may seem impossible to find a way to planfor some leisure time. You need to take a moment toyourself, it’s absolutely essential for your peace of mind.The urge to get stuff done will be strong but things canalways be finished tomorrow. Take it one step at a time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Channel your energy intoartistic pursuits. You have vision, Pisces and remaining infocus can make your dreams a reality. Visit an art galleryfor inspiration and bring a sibling along with you; theywill only help add to your creative enthusiasm.

On March 22,2207, the Officers’Mess at 8Wing/CFB Trenton was presented with acollection of aviation prints, displaying thework of artist Robert Bradford, known tomany as the ‘dean of Canadian aviation.’

On the same night, personnel from theCanadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre(CFAWC) officially welcomed Chris Terryas Honorary Colonel of their organization.

The evening was held in conjunctionwith a regularly scheduled mess event.Withmore than 200 people in attendance, thenight was packed with good company,greatfood and a remarkable collection of art.

The evening got underway with a greet-ing from Colonel J. Cottingham,Commanding Officer of CFAWC at 8Wing/CFB Trenton, who welcomed thosein attendance and offered a brief history ofCFAWC.

“We have an amazing program in theAir Force called the Honorary ColonelProgram,” said Col Cottingham. “Becauseof this, we are able to invite distinguishedmembers of the community to becomeHonorary Commanding Officers.”

Operating from two locations, one inTrenton, the other at the Air ForceExperimentation Centre in Ottawa,CFAWC’s mission and ultimate purpose isto prepare the Air Force for the future.

“Although it has taken some time to getthe official documentation in order, HColTerry has been active in his position sincelast summer,”said Cottingham.“We’re real-ly glad that we have someone like Chris onboard, because among the many things hehas done in his career,he knows the intimatehistory of every piece within the Air Forcemuseum’s collection.”

HCol Terry’s in-depth knowledge ofCanadian aviation and Canada’s Air Forcehas made him one of the most knowledge-able people in Canada about the history ofaviation in our country, said ColCottingham.

HCol Terry is a graduate of theUniversity of Guelph, where he earned aMasters of Economics in InternationalRelations from The London School ofEconomics. He currently holds the position

of President and Chief Executive Officer ofthe Canadian Science and TechnologyMuseum Corporation, a crown corporationof the government of Canada which housesthe Canada Agriculture Museum, theCanada Aviation Museum and the CanadaScience and Technology Museum.

“It’s a tremendous honour for me to dothis beyond anything I can express to you,”said HCol Terry. “I’m truly pleased to playthis role for this organization. I’m privilegedby the virtue of the position that I will beable to help people gain an understanding tothe extent that they need,about where we ‘vecome from in Canadian aviation andCanada’s Air Force’s traditions in the air.”

After the scroll presentation, guestsgathered for the official presentation ofprints, all signed by Bradford.

A total of 17 paintings were presentedon behalf of HCol Terry to the Officers’Mess, accepted by Lieutenant-Colonel D.Miller, 8 Wing Administration Officer, onbehalf of Colonel T.J.Lawson,Commander,8 Wing/CFB Trenton. An additional threepaintings were also offered, from Bradford’sown collection, and presented to CFAWC.

“It’s an extreme pleasure to offer theseprints on behalf of Bob (artist RobertBradford) and myself, I would like to for-mally present the Bradford collection ofAviation in Canada,”said HCol Terry.

The painting presented in representationof the entire collection was of the SilverDart,which was the same aircraft flown outof Nova Scotia, marking the milestone ofthe first powered, controlled flight inCanada,on February 23,1909.

LCol Miller graciously accepted the col-lection, extending her thanks on behalf of 8Wing/CFB Trenton and the Officers’Mess

“This is very apropos that we are just re-doing the Mess and we are making sure thatit shows the entire history of the CF AirForce,” said LCol Miller. “It is also fittingthat we are planning an air show whichwould take place in 2009; 100 years after thefirst flight in Canada, as well as the 85thanniversary of the Air Force in Canada.

The collection, which will be on displayfor many years to come, showcases the fullsweep of aviation history, including one thatreflects what went on here at this station (8Wing/CFB Trenton) during the 1930s.

Bridging the past and present, for the future of the Air Force

Shown above are seven of Robert Bradford’s paintings, from the set of one of the most important aviation collections owned by a military unit.

The efforts of a Canadian Forces sover-eignty patrol traveling in the Arctic arereceiving high praise from theGovernment of Canada.

The 24-member patrol includesmembers of 440 Transport Squadronbased in Yellowknife and members of theRegular Forces and Canadian Rangers— as well as a representative of theRCMP.

The patrol will travel close to 8,000kilometres, across some of the most chal-lenging terrain in the world, to confirmCanada’s sovereignty in the High Arcticas part of Operation Nunalivut 2007.Nunalivut translates as “land that isours.” The operation starts on March24th and will carry on to April 14, 2007in the Northern Arctic Archipelago.“Canada’s New Government is commit-ted to defending Canada’s Arctic and itsjurisdiction over northern islands, water-ways and resources,” says the HonourableGordon O’Connor, Minister of NationalDefence. “All participants in the patrolare helping to ensure that Canadaremains the true north, strong and free.We wish you a successful patrol mission.”

“Patrol missions like the one we arehighlighting today are making an impor-tant contribution to ensuring we are ableto defend our north,” says theHonourable Stockwell Day, Minister of

Public Safety Canada. “I congratulate allthe Canadian Forces members takingpart in Operation Nunalivut. I also wantto congratulate Constable Tom Cooke,who is the first member of the RCMP tobe involved in a patrol of this kind. Yourvigilance, dedication and sense of dutyare helping keep Canada safe.”

In addition to establishing a militarypresence, the patrols are helping to evalu-ate the terrain and infrastructure thatexist in the High Arctic. They are alsochecking old wartime airfields, aban-doned weather stations and other civilianand military structures.

“In addition to projecting Canadiansovereignty, the patrol helps us enhanceour capacity to operate effectively in thenorth by getting to know the land, theweather conditions and the terrain,” saysMinister O’Connor. “While other gov-ernment departments and agenciesremain responsible for dealing with mostsecurity issues in the North, theCanadian Forces have a significant roleto play in supporting them, asserting oursovereignty, and providing assistance toour citizens.”

“Ensuring that there are moreresources for these northern patrols is inkeeping with this government’s CanadaFirst Defence Strategy. The strategy’sgoal is to strengthen Canada’s independ-ent capacity to defend our national sover-eignty and security - including in theArctic.”

by J.C. Carroll(NC)-If a walking programappeals to you - for the benefitsof strengthening the heart, thelungs, circulation, bone density,your mental well being and somuch more - be sure to warm upfirst with five minutes of medi-um-paced walking followed bysome stretches for your legs. Toprevent stiffness and increaseflexibility, here are some stretch-ing tips for warming-up andcooling-down:

Calf Muscles Stretch: Standfacing a wall. Position your for-ward foot approximately 30 - 38cm from the wall. Stretch yourarms forward, elbows straightand lean against the wall. Placeyour other foot a few inchesbehind (and to the side of ) the

front foot and slowly plant it flaton the floor. Lean forward untilyou feel a stretch in your backleg. Hold for 15 - 30 seconds.Relax and repeat 2 times withalternate legs.

Hamstring Muscles Stretch:Sitting on the floor, put one legstraight out and the other legbent at the knee. Keeping yourback straight, lean forward, slid-ing your hands down the straightleg until you feel a stretch. Holdfor 15 - 30 seconds. Relax andrepeat 2 more times with alter-nate legs.

Thigh Stretch Sitting: Sit onthe edge of a chair. Lower yourknee toward the floor and press itback under the chair. Hold thestretch for 15 - 20 seconds.Repeat each leg 2 times.

Alternate Thigh MusclesStretch: Stand close to a wall andplace one hand on it. With theother hand reach back and holdthe same side foot in that hand.When balanced, begin to slowlyraise the foot up towards thelower back. Hold for 15 - 30 sec-onds. Relax and repeat 2 moretimes with alternate legs.

Achilles Stretch: Sitting on achair, plant one heel on the floorand gently lift your toes up andback as far as you can. Hold for acount of 5, then relax. Repeateach foot several times.

Walking is an easy and inex-pensive way to be active. Moreinformation, including the elec-tronic brochure Walking, TheActivity of a Lifetime, is availableonline at www.active2010.ca.

Add stretches to your walking program

Count your steps to better healthby J.C. Carroll

(NC)-You are considered a“sedentary” person if yourtotal steps each day do notexceed 5,000. If you takemore than 12,500 stepsper day, you are classifiedas “highly active”. Fitnessspecialists tell us we needto take at least 10,000 dailysteps if we want to think ofourselves as “active”.

Here are a few guide-lines that can help makeevery step count:

Choose A Pedometer:A pedometer is a small

battery powered devicethat displays on a screenthe number of steps youtake. They are sold inmany sporting goods anddepartment stores, and canalso be ordered online.

Find Your Baseline:Clip on the pedometer andset it to zero. Go aboutyour daily routine andrecord the number of stepsyou have taken at the endof the day. Do this forseven days. At the end ofthe week, calculate yourdaily average by dividing

the total number of stepsfor the entire week byseven.That number will beyour baseline to work withthe following:

Increase your numberof daily steps by 500 eachweek. For example, if yourdaily baseline is 3,000steps in week #1, your goalfor week #2 would be3,500 steps. For week #3 itwould be 4,000 steps.

Once you reach yourgoal, reward yourself, tellyour friends and thenmake a commitment to

keep it up.Keep A Weekly

Walking Log: Monitoryour progress in a journal.If you don’t have apedometer, make a com-mitment to walk a mini-mum of 30 minutes everyday.

Walking is an easy andinexpensive way to beactive. More information,including the electronicbrochure Walking, TheActivity of a Lifetime isavailable online atwww.active2010.ca.

(NC)-The average sedentary Ontarian accumulatesabout 3,500 to 5,000 steps during the course of theirday. Far too low, say health and fitness specialists. Toimprove one’s health, it is recommended that at leastanother 2,000 to 3,000 steps be added to every day -which may sound ambitious, but with some creativity,it only takes about five minutes to get in another 500steps.

Walking refreshes the mind, strengthens the heart,maintains body weight, increases energy, strengthensbones, and offers an enjoyable time for socializingwith friends and being with family. To increase thenumber of steps you take every day, here are some

helpful tips:. Walk part way or all the way home from work or

school.. Walk to the store or run errands on foot.. Walk up or down stairs instead of taking the ele-

vator or escalator.. Walk around the block during lunchtime.. Walk a dog (offer to take your neighbour’s if you

don’t have one).. At work, use the photocopier on another floor.Walking is an easy and inexpensive way to be

active. More information is available online atwww.active2010.ca.

(NC)-Ah! It’s gardening season - that wonderful time ofyear when people dash outdoors and spend hours creatingthe exquisite flowerbeds they dreamed about all winter.

Their lovely landscape dreams can turn intonightmares if unwanted plants invade their flowerbeds.

The easiest solution to this common dilemma is asolid, functional edge.

Edging reduces the time and effort needed forlandscape maintenance by defining boundaries betweenthe lawn and planting areas and keeping creeping grass,groundcover and weeds at bay.

Edging also holds mulch in place, which reducesevaporation and helps conserve water.

Today’s gardener can choose from a wide selection ofedging products. From concrete to plastic, there is aborder for every taste and budget. Some edging styleshave notable drawbacks.

Wooden edging can be bulky to transport and tendsto rot over time. The sharp edges of metal can be

especially hazardous when rusted.Fiber Edge is a unique lightweight border made from

flexible fibreglass.The product received the U.S. National Home

Gardening Club’s coveted Seal of Approval. Club testersgave this edging a 95 per cent approval rating based onease of use, performance, durability and appearance.

Ultra-Edge, another lightweight flexible border, givesgardeners an earth-friendly edging option.

It looks like wood but is actually made from recycledplastic. Both of these borders are guaranteed not to rust,rot, crack or fade. More information is available online atwww.easygardener.com or toll-free at 1-800-327-9462.

Practicality isn’t the only reason to use a functionalborder around landscape beds. Edging also adds aestheticvalue. It gives lawns a tidy, manicured look.

Edging showcases landscape beds like frameshighlight great works of art.

Gardeners can create fuss-free masterpieces in theirlawns by pairing gorgeous gardens with functionalframes.
