By Captain Jill StrelieffSigonella, Italy — Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare, the

CP-140 Aurora long-range patrol aircraft is showing off its capabilities in the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions that have come its way on Operation MOBILE.

The bi-coastal Auroras — one is from 14 Wing Greenwood and the other from 19 Wing Comox — arrived March 25 at the NATO naval air station in Sigonella, Italy. The Sigonella detachment was the last-deployed element of Task Force Libeccio, the air component of Canada’s contribution to NATO-led efforts to impose an arms embargo against Libya and a no-fl y zone in Libyan airspace, and protect civilians in Libya in compliance with U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973.

The Aurora detachment includes about 80 personnel: 26 aircrew and three crews of aircraft technicians and support staff from 19 Wing and 14 Wing. It’s a small group to make such a big impact.

The fi rst task the Auroras took on was to identify vessels in the embargo zone, the waters of the central Mediterranean Sea off Libya, and relay that information to the NATO task group. Since March 23, a large fl eet of NATO warships, including the Canadian frigate HMCS Charlottetown, has patrolled the embargo zone to reduce the fl ow of mercenaries, arms and related materiel to Libya.

As part of his routine of system checks on a CP-140 Aurora, aviation tech-nician Corporal (Cpl) Alex Jalbert-Landry signals to a fellow maintainer on board the aircraft to open the bomb-bay doors. (Images: Cpl Jackson Yee)

The Greenwood Military Aviation Museum is a vibrant organization thanks to the work of many volunteers all with varying interests.

One such individual comes all the way from Truro. Burt Pye’s passion is building large scale model airplanes, WWII vintage. To date, he has handbuilt and donated to the museum a Halifax bomber and a Wellington bomber, both with fi ve-foot wingspans, now proudly “fl ying” from the ceiling of the museum.

In May, Pye fi nished and presented to the GMAM a 1.5” to 1 foot scale model of the Canadian-built Hurricane fi ghter. It has a wingspan of 61” and is made from aircraft plywood, spruce and balsa wood covered with

“koverall,” a lightweight polyester fabric. He covered this with two coats of a clear dope and then authentically fi nished with a WWII camoufl age paint scheme and OTU lettering. The cowling was constructed using fi breglass. In all, it took him 650 hours to complete this delicate work of art.

Pye used one of the museum’s picture of a Hurricanes stationed at R.C.A.F. Station Greenwood during the summer of 1944. Nearly 30 Hurricane aircraft were stationed here when No. 1 OTU ATT (advanced tactical training) from Bagotville fl ew here, from February to November of 1944.

The fantastic new Hurricane model can be seen posed in action above the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan display in the museum’s entrance.

CP-140 Auroras take on new role in Op MOBILEThroughout those early mari t ime

surveillance missions, the Auroras showed their top-class form. Not only fast — they can do 400 knots, as fast as the CT-114 Tutor jets the Snowbirds fly — Auroras have plenty of stamina, staying aloft for up to 12 hours. They carry an array of sensors to gather and record the precise, reliable intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) data required to create a clear picture of the situation at ground level or at sea. With this unique combination of capabilities, the Auroras were a natural choice for inland ISR missions; they now provide ISR data on Libya’s coastline, highways and command and control centres.

“This is a new role for us,” says Captain Stephanie Hale, the air combat systems officer and operations officer on Roto 0 of the Sigonella detachment. “The new mission suite systems, including electro-optic infrared and overland equipment, have changed what we’re able to provide, and changed where we’re able to work.”

The overland equipment mission suite (OEMS), a new addition to the Aurora, was

acquired for Operation PODIUM, the Canadian Forces’ participation in security for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. With the OEMS, an Aurora crew can record three live video feeds from improved electro-optic infrared cameras. At the end of each sortie, the resulting imagery is transmitted to the Combined Air Operations Centre in Poggio Renatico, Italy.

“We’re taking all the resources we have available in theatre and using them to maximize the effect of the mission,” says Major Derrick Hotte, the Sigonella detachment commander on Roto 0.

The Aurora detachment’s most important resource is its people, who deployed on very short notice and fl ew their fi rst mission within 72 hours of arriving in Sigonella. They’ve fl own every day since.

“We’ve maintained a serviceability rate of over 90 per cent,” says Hotte. “That really speaks to the commitment and dedication of the maintenance staff, and the team approach to how we conduct operations. All of the staff have exceeded expectations and have done a lot to bring credit to the long-range patrol aircraft community and to the Canadian Forces.”

By Sara Keddy, Managing editor, The Aurora Newspaper

Don’t send Karl Derhak off into retirement just yet.

The master warrant offi cer retires June 27 after 37 years in the Air Force – but he can’t bear to leave “the toys.

“Why would I want to sign out? I’m still doing the stuff I wanted to do as a kid: playing soldier, travelling all over the world. If I had the chance, I’d do another 37 years.”

Comrades in 404 Squadron celebrated Derhak’s years of service June 22, holding a morning fl ag raising ceremony for him in front of 14 Wing Greenwood’s headquarters. He was presented with the day’s fl ag by his commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Ron Walker.

“When you love to fl y, you love to fl y,” Walker says of Derhak’s years in. “He has an interesting perspective on the way things are and used to be. He’s a great infl uence in the squadron, good with the younger members – and he can give them a swift kick when needed!”

Playing soldierD e r h a k w a s b o r n i n

Chatham, Ontario. His dad was ex-military, having served in Korea and as military police, but, Derhak says, other than seeing medals or hearing a few stories, “I’d never have known.

“A block away from us was a barracks, and there wasn’t any free time we didn’t shimmy under the fence and see what was going on, everything there was to see. We’d get the old rations, or come home wearing some kind of old uniform cap or jacket.”

Flying time and travelRetiring from a career that spanned 37 years

When Derhak was about fi ve or six years old, his father took him to visit a friend who had a Cessna 172.

“It was a cool, damp day… a Sunday morning. The plane was blue and white, and Dad and I sat in the back. All I remember is being in the plane, looking out and seeing people get smaller as we went higher.

“I thought, ‘I want to fl y – this is cool!”

When the commanding offi cer came around Derhak’s school recruiting for the local Air Cadets, promising the boys a chance to fl y, Derhak jumped at the opportunity. Classes on theory of fl ight, navigation and instrument use, summer camps and fl ying time eventually earned Derhak his wings – before the age of 16.

“I used to get my mother to drive me to the airport so I could rent a plane. I couldn’t rent a car until I was 25, but I could rent a plane.”

Derhak quit high school just 11 weeks before the end of Grade 12, frustrated with an English teacher and bored with classes. He went to work, making dashes for Goodyear, putting in hours at a toothpick factory. He knew he wanted to be in the military and, as soon as he was old enough, he signed up. With his Air Cadet experience and wings under his belt, even as a private recruit, he was a step ahead of his peers. Basic training was at Cornwallis here in Nova Scotia, and then he went off for trades training as an electrician. His fi rst posting was to Trenton to work on the C130s, the 147s and the 707s.

“Any chance to go and fl y, I said ‘yes’. I got the chance to go and see the world. I saw more of Canada in one day than

entire generations see in their life time, I’ve been around the world, to both poles.

“The world is a huge place but, with a plane, it’s so small.”

The 9,500 hours of fl ying time he is recognized for as he retires likely represent less than half of his actual time in the air. His only regret is he didn’t keep notes, capturing the destinations, describing the mud huts of African villages in the shadows of skyscrapers and the ways comrades worked hard – and played hard – on missions.

He remustered and was posted to Shearwater in 1980 to work on the Sea Kings. Five years later, he was assigned to Greenwood, home of the Auroras.

“Cool – my jaw hit the fl oor. The queen of the fl eet.”

That started a combined run of 23 years here, with just a brief stop in Pettawawa – “three years, 12 days, four-and-a-half hours,” Derhak describes that posting. He crewed in helicopters ferrying the army guys, loaded with gear, into the woods, in half-mile jumps.

“It took me a long time to get used to the army mentality of steady, small steps ahead – a plane, we could cross the Atlantic in a few hours.”

Derhak doesn’t consider any of his missions as under active fi re, and says he was never really in one spot long enough to collect the medals. It was the opportunity to fl y, travel and experience new things that satisfi ed him the most.

Then and now“There were opportunities,

they were always looking for volunteers – and I always volunteered. My courses were

from hours longs to a couple of weeks. Today, you go where you’re told to go – the opportunity is still there, but it’s not a fl y-by-night decision for the younger members. They might have to be more dedicated: courses now are months, and that’s tough.”

Consider Derhak. He’s been married three times, and had two children with his fi rst wife and another with his second wife.

“What I did is hard on families. I missed a lot of the kids’ growing up. It’s a job, a

lifestyle you either do or don’t like. Thirty-seven years has gone by like that,” he says, snapping his fi ngers. “I’d keep going.”

Looking at retirement now, Derhak, who lives in Aylesford with his wife, Sharon, is happy with his home and a cottage. He’s coveting an ultralight in Lawrencetown, and watches with envy the guy who lands his small pontoon plane on the lake. He already feels like he’s missing things, like the military’s flood relief

recently in Winnipeg. He would consider a reserve role, just to be able to fly and pass on his experiences as a teacher to the younger members.

“I have the patience of Job but, until you can get from Point A to Point B, you do it my way. When I see extra effort, I say, ‘gentlemen, go golfi ng, or spend time with your kids.’

“My guys don’t work for me – I’m supposed to work for my team and get them what they need.”

The community is invited to get in the game now, in an effort to secure hard-to-get funding for a twin-pad hockey rink and curling surface in Greenwood.

14 Wing Greenwood and the County of Kings hosted a joint meeting in Kingston June 23, the launch of the community fundraising campaign in sup-port of the Arena Curling Part-nership Project (ACPP).

Backing the launch was county Warden Diana Brothers, 14 Wing Commander Colonel Bill Seymour and incoming commander Lieutenant-Colo-nel Jim Irvine. Brothers also introduced a range of village commissioners from Kingston and Greenwood, county coun-cillors and ACPP committee members.

“We have a very diverse committee – everyone who would have any interest in the arena,” she said.

Mike Taylor, 14 Wing’s Per-sonnel Support Programs man-ager, said many people have been involved in the project for several years, some more recently.

“We’re getting down now to meeting and working with our businesses on the ‘grand goal’,” Taylor said. “It’s all about

partnerships, and this is quite unique. Never before has a base gone to this size and scale on a project with the community.”

14 Wing has been approved for a replacement rink for Greenwood Gardens. In 2008, the base approached communi-ty partners with the opportunity to work together on more: the base’s ice surface, a new curl-ing rink and a replacement rink for the aging Western Kings Arena in Kingston – all under one roof.

“The wing’s motto is ‘Oper-ate as One,’ but the military as a whole is starting to use ‘Con-necting to communities.’ This base is about as connected as I’ve ever been on.”

Key partners – the base, county, villages of Kingston and Greenwood – signed a let-ter of commitment in August 2009 to start planning, design

and partnership agreements. The entire project was submit-ted for provincial funding, $6.7 million, in February 2010.

Within weeks, the prov-ince responded: its recreation infrastructure program was exhausted.

The ACPP met with the province again in September, and Seymour set a deadline for January 2012 for funding com-mitments. The County of Kings approved in April $2.5 million over 16 years – contingent on full partnerships, including the province.

“There are deadlines, and the provincial funding is about the biggest obstacle we’ve had,” Taylor said.

In May, the province reiter-ated it could not meet the ACPP targets- but Brothers and Taylor said there was nothing to in-dicate the province might not

consider other deadlines.“Changing it six or eight

months is not something we’re opposed to,” Taylor said. “We’re now waiting on a re-sponse to that position.”

In the meantime, Taylor and Brothers, who co-chair the ACPP, hope to kickstart the community’s fundraising to the tune of $2.5 million. Taylor said the real need is for a community champion or team to lead the ef-fort, which worked in Berwick’s campaign to build the Kings Mutual Century Centre in 2010.

“What’s in it for you?” Taylor asked about two dozen in atten-dance. “You decide, but it’s also not just about partnerships. This would be good for business.”

Kings Wes t MLA Leo Glavine thanked the ACPP committee for its work, and acknowledged pressure on him to secure provincial money – pressure he’s willing to bear for an “opportunity that does not come along very often in the province.” He urged the com-munity to get on board, willing to show the province “what the people of Kingston and Green-wood have done.”

Seymour also said the part-nership goes beyond new rec-reational facilities: “It will provide the community with something more – more busi-nesses, more programs, and that means my people benefi t and the wing becomes a destination for families.

“We understand the prov-ince is having a tough time fi nancially, but no provincial

money needs to be spent ‘til 2012/ 2014. Everyone’s going to benefi t.”

Edward Wedlar of The Inside Story asked about the conse-quences for the project if the province doesn’t join in.

“Is the military going ahead on its own?”

Taylor said, in that event, the Western Kings Arena would have to fi gure out how to reno-vate, pay its bills and continue operations in an aging building; the base would go ahead with a new rink, or perhaps a new rink and curling surface if there was enough money.

Brothers said her feeling is the province doesn’t have a full understanding of what 14 Wing as a whole does and means to Kingston and Greenwood.

“Municipalities and the province are responsible for recreation – not 14 Wing – but it’s been very kind to us over the years in providing that for us. We need to sell that to the province. They don’t know it, understand it or live it.”

Kingston village commis-sioner and retired businessman John Pierce said he remem-bers as a kid wanting to play hockey with his friends, and the military coming to talk to his parents to “fi nd out what kind of people we were.

“That’s the difference, and we can’t overemphasize the uniqueness of this project to the premier and his cabinet. With-out what the military provides, we wouldn’t have the opportu-nity to offer this to our people.”

Partners invited to join base, community rink campaign

Western Kings Rink Association volunteer Jamie Nicholson, the acting president of the group, said the WKRA is fully behind the ACPP project – but….

“My concern is our arena still has to operate another fi ve years. Finances are already diffi cult – we broke even this year,

The ACPP community fundraising initiative is looking for $2.5 million from local residents, busi-nesses and service groups.

Broken down follow-ing examples from other communities’ similar projects, naming rights for the new facility could be worth $1 million. If major corporations doing business here could come up with five $100,000 and fi ve $50,000 pledges, that would generate an-other $750,000. Service clubs are asked to con-sider a $200,000 commit-ment, recreation groups $300,000 and community pledges $100,000. Annual fundraising of $150,000 would round out the $2.5 million community share.

The ACPP project time-line now has a construc-tion start date of July 2013, opening in October 2015.

but that doesn’t help us with our debt load. It is very diffi cult to get people to open their wallets, but it’s important to do it.”

Nicholson reminded the meeting of the WKRA’s own an-nual meeting June 28 at 7 p.m. at the rink. New volunteers are needed to fi ll board positions.

June 15 at the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC, Rear Admiral Richard Greenwood, the Commander of the Canadian Defence Liaison Staff in Washington, presented the United States Meritorious Service Medal to Lieutenant Colonel Pat McAdam of Middle ton . McAdam currently serves as the Assistant Military Attaché in the Canadian Embassy.

T h e U n i t e d S t a t e s Meritorious Service Medal is awarded on behalf of the president, and is presented to individuals who have distinguished themselves by outstanding meritorious achievement or service to the United Sates. In the case of McAdam, this is his second such award. His fi rst Meritorious Service Medal followed a four-year tour of duty in Quantico, Virginia, where he completed the United Sates Marine Corps Command and Staff College. He remained in Quantico for an additional three years as the Canadian Forces Liaison Offi cer to the United States Marine Corps.

The recently presented award follows a four-year tour in the NATO Combined Joint Operations from the Sea Centre of Excellence, where he served as the Staff Offi cer Joint Manoeuvre inside the United States Navy’s Second Fleet Headquarters.

McAdam is a graduate of Middleton Regional High School, the son of Liz McAdam and the late Master Corporal “Digger” McAdam of Wilmot. He is married to Mary (nee Montgomery) of Nictaux.

Maintenance crews of about 25 technicians work day and

night shifts to provide the 24/7 attention required to keep

the Trapani detachment’s CF-188 Hornet fighters flying

consistently on operations.

When the aircraft are all fi t to fl y, the maintainers look for

ways to pass long nights in the hangar. Stanley Cup hockey

aired at 2 a.m. here, so the games were valuable entertainment

at just the right time.

“A 12-hour shift is long if you’re not turning a wrench,”

said Corporal (Cpl) Craig Munsie. “Hockey gives us a bit of

down time. As long as the game is on, the guys are happy.”

Of course, not everyone cheers for the same team, and a friendly

rivalry developed between the detachment’s Canucks fans and

Boston supporters. Others, like aviation technician Cpl Trevor

Lynch, are just happy to see a bit of home projected into Italy.

“It’s hockey. It’s Canada,” he said.

Task Force Libeccio is the air component of Operation

MOBILE, Canadian’s participation in Operation UNIFIED

PROTECTOR, the NATO-led coalition enforcing an arms

embargo on Libya and a no-fl y zone in Libyan airspace, and

protecting the civilians of Libya under United Nations Security

Major General Yvan Blondin, Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division in Winnipeg provides an update on the second annual Family Support Conference which he hosted in Winnipeg, May 10 to 11

I’ve never heard of the chief of the defence staff having to “tag along” to any Canadian Forces event. But, there’s a fi rst for everything.

As the story goes, when his wife, Leslie Natynczyk, was invited to our recent family support conference, the CDS felt the conference theme was so important he asked if he could join her. She agreed. It was a pleasure having this couple meet with our wing commanders, as well as representatives from the army and navy, to focus on how we can better serve our loved ones.

The main theme General Walter Natynczyk emphasized was simply “Family support is commander’s business.” Saying this to a room full of commanders makes our mandate very clear.

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Natynczyk, the CF Champion of Military Families, explained, while commanders certainly play a role, it is everyone’s job in the military to take care of families. She also urged commanders to get to know their programs well, listen to family voices and fi nd local solutions that put spouses and children fi rst.

Creative solutions may mean CF and military members are not always the primary benefi t recipient, but this may produce the ultimate result we’re looking for: if you want a tree to grow, sometimes you need to spend more time caring for the ground beneath it.

Of particular importance, this year’s conference saw the results of the Family Support Needs Assessment, which captured how military families perceive their needs being met. Feedback from nearly 2,000 respondents will be valuable in augmenting family-focused programs and services. (Results are available at www.forcesfam.ca, the same website you visited to provide feedback.)

We recognize, with every posting and deployment, Canadian Forces members and their families make sacrifi ces. We are working to make improvements to how members fi nd a family doctor, enrol their children in childcare and fi nd affordable housing, regardless of where they serve. More work is being done, not just by the air force, but now also by the army and the navy. I look forward to helping families with further enhancements in these areas.

Le Major-général Yvan Blondin, commandant de 1re Division aérienne du Canada, à Winnipeg, fait une mise à jour concernant la deuxième conférence annuelle sur le soutien aux familles. La conférence a eu lieu à Winnipeg, les 10 et 11 mai derniers

Je n’ai jamais entendu dire que le chef d’état-major de la défense a dû se joindre à une autre personne pour participer à une activité des Forces canadiennes. Mais il y a une première pour tout.

On dit que, lorsque sa femme, Leslie Natynczyk, a reçu une invitation à notre récente conférence sur le soutien aux familles, le CEMD aurait estimé que c’était si important qu’il lui aurait demandé s’il pouvait l’accompagner. Comme elle aurait accepté, nous avons eu le plaisir de voir ce couple rencontrer nos commandants d’escadre ainsi que des représentants de la marine et de l’armée, dans le but de déterminer des façons d’améliorer la vie de nos proches.

Le Général Walter Natynczyk a principalement insisté sur le fait que “ le soutien aux familles est l’affaire des commandants.”. Qu’il l’ait dit devant une salle pleine de commandants rend notre mandat très clair.

Pour ne pas être en reste, Mme Natynczyk, qui est la Championne des familles des militaires à l’échelle des FC, a expliqué que, même si les commandants jouent indéniablement un rôle, c’est à tous les membres des Forces canadiennes qu’il

Le soutien aux familles : un enjeu de tailleincombe de s’occuper des familles. Elle a également vivement recommandé aux commandants de bien connaître leurs programmes, d’écouter le point de vue des familles et de trouver des solutions qui donnent la priorité aux conjoints et aux enfants.

Des solutions créatives pourraient reléguer au second plan les FC et les militaires en tant que principaux bénéfi ciaires des services, mais elles pourraient aussi produire l’effet recherché. Autrement dit, pour faire pousser un arbre, il faut parfois s’occuper davantage de la terre qui le nourrit.

L’important est qu’au cours de la conférence de cette année, on a présenté les résultats de l’évaluation des besoins de soutien aux familles. L’évaluation a permis de savoir dans quelle mesure les familles des militaires, comme la vôtre, considèrent que l’on répond à leurs besoins. Les réponses des quelque 2 000 personnes permettront de continuer à améliorer les programmes et les services axés sur les familles. (Les résultats sont sur le site www.forcesfam.ca, site où se trouvait le questionnaire.)

Nous savons que lors de chaque affectation et déploiement, les militaires et leurs familles font des sacrifi ces. Donc, où qu‘ils soient, nous voulons les aider à trouver un généraliste, à inscrire leurs enfants dans des garderies et à trouver un logement abordable. Il y a encore du travail à faire, pas seulement par la force aérienne, mais aussi par la marine et l’armée. Je me réjouis à la perspective de pouvoir d’ores et déjà aider davantage les familles.

The 19th hole

By Wendy Richardson

Kingston Legion Branch 98 hosted its annual golf tournament June 16 and17.

The tournament was well attended and the weather was great for both days - a little chilly starting the fi rst day, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Wendy was seen handing out “palm warmers” to Heather and a few others, and, of course, there were a few silly pops to keep us warm.

The event started out with a meet and greet, a short meeting and the ladies from the Legion put on a great spread Wednesday evening. Thursday and Friday mornings, we all met at the Legion for breakfast (yummy).

Thursday, we all golfed (shotgun start) and then met again at the Legion for a delicious pork supper. Thanks from all the executive and the competitors on a great job. After the meal, we had a dance and karaoke: isn’t it amazing how, when the guys put on a wig or funny glasses, they really think they are the next “Canadian Idol?” It really was very entertaining. Thanks to all the guys brave enough to go up and sing! Now Kelly, on the other hand, was terrifi c - and thanks for the encore. Friday morning, we were off again for a shotgun start.

Thanks to Glen, Pat, Phil and all the others for organizing

a great tournament. It is a lot of work and we appreciate it.Now for the results: fi eld low gross was won by Charlie (dad) and David (son) Costin (133) - loved the pants, David! The fi eld low net winners were Jamie Hansen and Nicholas Whynot (104). The rest of the winners were:

1st Division: 1st LG Mike Clark and Paul Arsenault (136), 2nd LG Doug Carpenter and Glen Paul (141), 1st LN Scott Cooper and Frank Croucher (116), 2nd LN Ian MacKenzie and Wayne Cathcart 2n (121)

2nd Division:1st LG Len Gregory and Dave Goulden (149), 2nd LG Glen Carver and Dave Wheeler (137), 1st LN Mel Martin and Frank Shelly (108), 2nd LN Keith Rankin and Bill G. MacDonald(121)

As the combat mission in Afghanistan transitions into other military activities, the Royal Canadian Legion would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to those servicemen and women, and their families, who have served with distinction and sacrifi ced on behalf of Canadians during these past several years.

Their contribution to the well-being and care of another country’s populace is a tremendous reflection of Canada’s efforts toward maintaining global peace, and we are proud of the way you have represented us.

As a national endeavour, I am encouraging local branches to hold appreciation events for veterans of the Afghanistan mission this August, in order to remember those who have fallen, thank those who have returned and to celebrate how proud you and your families have made us to be Canadian.

Patricia Varga,Dominion president,Royal Canadian Legion

Thanks to the troops

Remerciements aux troupes

Alors que la mission de combat en Afghanistan passe à d’autres activités militaires, la Légion royale canadienne aimerait transmettre ses remerciements les plus sincères aux militaires, hommes et femmes, et leurs familles. Les troupes ont servi avec distinction et sacrifi ce au nom des Canadiens et Canadiennes au cours des dernières années. La contribution des troupes au bien-être et la prospérité de la population d’un autre pays est un refl et des énormes efforts du Canada visant à maintenir une paix globale. Nous sommes fi ers de la façon que les troupes nous ont représentés.

Des mots seulement ne sont pas suffi sants pour indiquer la reconnaissance que nous

avons à l’égard de leur engagement et leur conscience professionnelle. A titre d’initiative nationale, j’encourage les fi liales locales à organiser en août prochain des Évènements d’Appréciation pour les Anciens combattants de la mission en Afghanistan afi n de remercier les individus qui sont morts au champ d’honneur, ceux et celles qui sont retournés au pays et pour célébrer comment vous nous avez rendu fi ers d’être Canadien.

Patricia Varga,Présidente nationale,La Légion royale canadienne

Here’s your opportunity to save lives! It is once again time to roll up your sleeves and take the time to give blood. Canadian Blood Services will now be holding a two day donor clinic as a result of the support from our local communities. Let’s respond and take advantage of this opportunity by fi lling 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!

Canadian Blood Services will be returning for a two day clinic at the Kingston Lions Hall on July 4th and July 5th. Donors can either give during the 1pm – 3pm time slot or the 5pm – 8pm evening slot on Monday the 4th or Tuesday the 5h.

If you are interested in giving blood, please ensure that you bring identifi cation with your full name and signature or full name and photograph. New donors are welcome!

Canadian Blood Services is aiming to collect 130 units, each day, and in order to collect 130 units, 220 donors have to walk in or book an appointment. Every 60 seconds, someone in Canada requires blood or a blood product, so please try and take the time to donate on either day.

Partner for Life ProgramDND was Canadian Blood Services fi rst national Partner for

Life, but now 14 Wing has registered as a “Partner for Life” and have a set a goal of having 150 donors register for the Partner for Life program in the year 2011, and currently we are at 30.

All DND and Defence Team Members are encouraged to sign a “Member Registration Form” which will be available on site during the clinics. Once you sign the form, you will never have to do it again. It’s a simplistic form (name, DOB, postal code, etc) that will allow CBS to track how many times you have donated on behalf of 14 Wing, and what % of our collective goal has been achieved.

Please note that if you get a fl u shot, you must wait 2 days after the shot before donating blood.

This two day clinic is made possible by the generous support from McDonalds and Tim Hortons. If you are interested in more information please call Eric MacKenzie at 765-1494 ext. 5337, and if you wish to book an appointment, please call 1-888-236-6283.

June 14, the GMFRC transformed into an enchanted kingdom, as eight little princesses enjoyed a very special tea party.

A royal timeThere were plenty of smiles as the young royals made

princess bags and tiaras, learned to ballroom dance and, of course, had a royal parade of gowns though the centre. Special thanks to our GMFRC volunteer Melissa and to Princess Miss Coreen for ensuring our little ladies had a fun-fi lled morning.

Le 14 juin, le CRFMG s’est transformé en un royaume enchanté où huit petites princesses se sont amusées à un bal très spécial.

Les jeunes princesses étaient tout sourire pendant qu’elles fabriquaient un sac et une couronne, apprenaient à danser la valse et bien sûr, lors du défi lé royal à travers le centre, vêtues de leur robe. Un merci tout spécial à Mélissa, notre bénévole du CRFMG, et à princesse Miss Coreen pour avoir assuré un avant-midi de plaisir à nos petites dames.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Move over Ar ies because someone new wants to share the spotlight for a little while. You may be reticent to give up the spotlight, but even the sun has to retire for the night.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, there ’s a f inanc ia l opportunity on the horizon and you just have to fi nd out how to get in on the action. Scorpio may be able to lend some information this week.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you’ll have to make the most of a situation because there’s nothing you can do this week to change the outcome. It may be a tough couple of days.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, take time to foster personal relationships, especially with a person you love dearly. There hasn’t been much time for romance, but now you can change the situation for the better.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23There is a monster task in front of you, Leo, and all you need is to muster the strength to begin it. Some words of encouragement from friends might do the trick.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22A completely fresh perspective can shed light onto something that has been giving you headaches, Virgo. Take the opportunity to reestablish goals, and you’ll be on track.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone, so why are you always seeking someone else’s approval? Try thinking for yourself this week, and you may be surprised at the results.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Quiet contemplation can yield a few answers to the things you want to know, Scorpio. You often take for granted the silent moments that are offered. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, not every hour of the day needs to be packed with activity. Others won’t look to you as if you’re slacking off if you take some time to relax.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Obligations at home can take some time away from your “me” time, Capricorn. But that is the price you pay for being such an integral part of your family dynamic. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, it takes you a little while to warm up to others, but once you do, you’ll fi nd that you can be the best of friends and highly devoted. This week you prove this virtue.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, letting others do a lot for you may seem like a good idea at fi rst, but it might just lead to problems down the road.

Happy Canada Day to all of our defence team families!Canada Day is a day to celebrate this wonderful country

and to take time to refl ect on just how fortunate we are to live here. Canada Day also gives us a chance to think about the role the Canadian Forces have played, and the part that they continue to play, in making this a safe and prosperous place

to live. Without our Forces, our country may look and feel completely different.

As we take part in community celebrations, be happy we are allowed to celebrate, be grateful it’s safe to do so and thank a soldier for her sacrifi ces in making it so.

GMFRC wishes you a happy Canada Day

Bonne fête du Canada à toutes les familles de l’Équipe de Défense!

La fête du Canada est l’occasion de célébrer notre magnifi que pays et de prendre conscience de la chance que nous avons de vivre ici. La fête du Canada nous donne aussi

Le CRFMG vous souhaite une Bonne Fête du Canada !

une chance de penser à la contribution des Forces dans le passé et au rôle qu’elles continuent de jouer pour faire de ce pays un lieu sûr et prospère. Sans les Forces, notre pays pourrait être totalement différent.

Des célébrations ont lieu dans les communautés. Réjouissons-nous de pouvoir célébrer en toute sécurité et remercions les soldats pour les sacrifi ces qui ont contribué à cette réalité.

Soumis par Morgan Conrick : bénévole au Centre de ressources pour les familles militaires de Greenwood (CRFMG).

Mon nom est Morgan et je suis une bénévole pour le centre de ressources pour les familles militaires de Greenwood. Certains d’entre vous savent que je suis la fi lle de Leona. Comme elle est la directrice des services de bénévolat, je suis une bonne candidate pour donner de mon temps pour différentes activités du CRFMG et en particulier, lorsque les bénévoles sont diffi ciles à recruter !

Mon expérience la plus récente était pour le service de garde de relève. Ceci n’avait pas l’air très prestigieux et je ne savais pas vraiment à quoi m’attendre, mais cette expérience s’est avérée très positive. C’était très bien organisé sans être trop structuré. Les enfants étaient fantastiques et chacun d’entre eux s’est bien amusé. J’avais toujours une tâche à effectuer et je me sentais utile et appréciée sans être surchargée telle une esclave. Que ce soit pour aider à l’heure de la collation, pour faire de la peinture, pour promener les bébés ou pour jouer à la tag dans le gymnase, je peux affi rmer en toute honnêteté que les enfants, les autres bénévoles et moi-même avons eu bien du plaisir. Je peux garantir que j’y retournerai encore et encore.

Mon expérience au service de garde de relève

Submitted by Morgan Conrick, GMFRC volunteerMy name is Morgan and I’m a volunteer at the Greenwood

Military Family Resource Centre. As some of you may be aware, I am Leona’s daughter. Seeing as she is the volunteer services manager, I often fi nd myself “voluntold” for many different activities at the GMFRC, especially when volunteers are in short supply.

My most recent experience was with respite childcare. It doesn’t sound very glamorous, and I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I have nothing but good things to say about the experience. It was well organised, without being too structured, the children were fantastic and every one of them enjoyed themselves. I always had a task to do and felt needed and appreciated, without being over-worked as “slave labour.” Whether I was helping with snack time, painting pictures, walking babies or playing tag in the gym, I can honestly say the children, the other volunteers and I all truly enjoyed ourselves. I can guarantee I will be there again and again.
