Now that the Canadian Forceshave welcomed their first CC-130J Hercules tactical aircraftinto service in Afghanistan,many of those involved with themission describe it as historic.

This marks the first time thenew J-model Hercules has flownin Afghanistan and the last tourof duty for older H-model thathas been sustaining the CF intheatre since the fall of 2001.

While the H models aremaintained by 8 AircraftMaintenance Squadron at 8Wing Trenton, Ont. the CC-130J marks a return to squadronmaintenance.

As a result, the H-model air-crew as well as the CC-130J air-crew and maintainers are allmembers of 436 (Transport)Squadron, also based at 8 WingTrenton, Ont. This marks theirfirst deployment as a completesquadron.

“It is historic,” says com-manding officer Lieutenant-Colonel Colin Keiver. “Thismission isn’t just about introduc-ing the J. This is also about rec-ognizing 50 years of service bythe legacy crews and maintain-ers.

“For the next four monthsthere will be a J and an H on theground working together. Andwhen that final legacy aircraftcomes home and the J takes over,we will be parking the AirForce’s legacy tactical airliftoperations. The service theyhave given this country is excep-tional.”

Captain Chad Gehl, whoflew the H-model Hercules forthree years before being upgrad-ed to aircraft commander on theJ-model, is excited about theAfghanistan mission.

“With all the time we’vespent training over the past yearand a half it’ll be nice to take thisbrand new aircraft intoAfghanistan,” Capt Gehl saidprior to his departure.

“The J-model was developedfor just this type of theatre ofoperation. The legacy aircraftwas great; I’ve deployed on theH-model and it was an excellentaircraft as well, but the J-modelhas upgraded avionics, enginesand other state-of-the-art capa-bilities so I’m looking forward toseeing how it performs in the-atre. It’ll be just fantastic.”

Corporal ChristopherRicard, an aviation technicianwith nine years experience on theH-model Hercules, is lookingforward to applying all of hisexpertise in theatre.

“I’m very honoured to be ableto serve my country and it’s veryexciting to be on a new aircraftand usher a new aircraft into anew era,” Cpl Ricard said beforeleaving for Afghanistan.

Cpl Ricard will also be work-ing as a technical crewman onboard the J-model Hercules, fly-ing with the aircraft whenever itis planned to land at a destina-See “CC-130J Hercules,” Page 2

tion away from its operating base.“I’m a technician first, but this

is a new position on the J-model.Since there is no flight engineeron the J-model, I am more or lessan advisor or a quick referenceuntil we land. I don’t have any setin-flight duties but I definitelypull my weight.”

The flight into Afghanistancarried both the first J-modelcrew and last H-model crew.

Four months from now, thefirst J-model crew will returnhome to Canada and be replacedby another crew, while the H-model crew will return home fromAfghanistan permanently.

“I’m so proud of all them – thelegacy and J-model crews,” saidLCol Keiver. “All of them havecontinually stepped up to theplate, the legacy folks havingserved in Afghanistan for almost10 years.

“Who knows how long we’llbe there or what we’ll do next, butsomewhere sometime there will

probably be CC-130s doingsomething on behalf of this nationover the next 50 years and to be apart of that is awesome.”

ABOUT THE CC-130J HERCULES

The CC-130J provides additionalcapability and reliability, and willhelp ensure our continued successin operations thereby helping theAir Force to meet its goal of beingthe “best in class” for its size, whileremaining highly interoperablewith our allies.

The first CC-130J Herculestactical aircraft arrived in Canadaon June 4, 2010, six months aheadof the original scheduled deliverydate.

The Air Force team demon-strated its agility, flexibility andprofessional capabilities by ready-ing the aircraft and its crews fordeployment to Afghanistan in lessthan seven months.

Training, maintenance andoperation procedures needed to be

adapted to the specific character-istics of this aircraft, while ensur-ing an efficient and effectiveimplementation schedule that willfacilitate safe, effective, and sus-tained operations.

The new CC-130J Herculesaircraft will belong to the TacticalAviation Unit (Task ForceCanuck), which is part of the JointTask Force Afghanistan AirWing.

This tactical aircraft will beused for missions such as intra-theatre transport of troops andcargo, battlefield illumination, anddrops of combat packages. A sec-ond CC-130J Hercules aircraftwill deploy to Afghanistan in latespring 2011.

All 17 CC-130Js will be basedat 8 Wing Trenton, Ont. alongwith the future Air MobilityTraining Centre that will housethe equipment and personnelrequired to train the operators andmaintainers of the CC-130JHercules aircraft.

424 Squadron would like to wish all a Happy New Year, and hope everyonehad a great holiday season

We were involved in rescuing 57 stranded motorists from Hwy 402 nearSarnia to warming centres. We had four Griffon crews flying missions forthree days as well as a Herc crew or two being used as a communication plat-form, making the job a little easier.

After all was back to normal, our crews got back to business. Our Griffoncrew was tasked to fly “top cover” and medevac support for 21 sailors from theMV Herman Scholning who had taken ill. They were all transported to shoreby the pilot vessel JW Cooper and then to hospital. Our crew was released andreturned to Trenton.

Our Herc crew was up next, tasked to investigate a EPIRB (EmergencyPosition-Indicating Radio Beacon) that was going off in the area of Hamilton.The signal was traced to the city of Hamilton where it was eventually locatedin a delivery truck.

Until next week, stay safe!

Here we are in Afghanistan atChristmas, and I have to tell you thatit’s wonderful to see how generousthe people of Canada are to us.

Cards, drawings, letters with per-sonal messages, gifts, delicacies, toi-letries, books and other things toonumerous to mention — pour in bythe thousands. We are absolutelyconvinced by this great bounty thatour fellow Canadians are thinking ofus while we are far away from thosewe love, and who love us.

Many people here are hard atwork distributing the cards, lettersand parcels to the troops on theground in forward positions. Wewant everyone to benefit from all thisabundance.

The Christmas cards, in particu-lar, put some colour into camp life.They cover many walls in our build-ings and the Canadian gymnasium,

banishing the everyday drabness.We are doing all we can to reply to

as many of our correspondents aspossible, not just individuals, but alsochurches, schools and organizations.In token of acknowledgement, a cardof thanks is on its way, signed in per-son by Lieutenant-Colonel SébastienBouchard, the commander of theNational Support Element (NSE),and by Chief Warrant Officer GillesGodbout, the NSE RegimentalSergeant-Major.

Finally, on behalf of all theCanadian Forces members deployedin Afghanistan, I must thank eachand every one of you who took theinitiative to send us a card or a giftfor Christmas.

Love truly knows boundaries, andit soothes away the difficulties thatcan be encountered here. Every pack-age we receive is an outward and vis-ible sign of this inward and invisibleaffection.

From the bottom of our hearts,thank you for all your support.

Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts

Quit smoking, drink less, loseweight, exercise more, eathealthy.

If you are one of the 96 percent Canadians who made aNew Years’ Resolution onJanuary 1, you may have set ahealth related goal.

Research shows that 20 percent of Canadians achieve theirresolutions.

You can be one of them bytaking SMART steps to achieveyour resolutions.

Resolutions are all aboutgoal setting. SMART goals areSpecific, Measurable, Achie-vable, Relevant and Trackable.

Specific: They define exactlywhat you want to achieve.

Measurable: They includeclear benchmarks to know thatyou are succeeding.

Achievable: They providechallenge, but are still withinreason.

Relevant: They are impor-tant to YOU.

Trackable: They include away to record progress.

An example of a SMARTgoal would be: “I will use mypedometer to record my stepseach day and increase my stepsby 10 per cent each week until Iam taking an average of 10,000steps per day.”

Goals can help to increasemotivation by providing us withdirection and build our confi-dence with increased feelings ofsuccess when they are met.

So what happens whenmotivation starts to fade? Thatis the time to revisit your goal.

Sometimes goals feel too big

to tackle or take so long toachieve that it is difficult tostay focused.

Consider breaking largegoals into smaller “bite size”pieces and determine if yourgoals match your preferences.

Is it motivating for you toset goals slightly higher thanyou are likely to achieve?

Perhaps you prefer goals thatare modest and can easily bemet or exceeded, or you mayprefer to have your goals matchyour performance.

By thinking about your pref-erences and adjusting yourgoals to fit, you can rejuvenateyour motivation to achievethem.

Be SMART about your reso-lutions to help you reach yourgoals for 2011!

How to be SMART about New Year’s resolutions

Arrêter de fumer, consommer moinsd’alcool, perdre du poids, faire plusd’exercice, manger mieux.

Quatre-vingt-seize pour cent desCanadiens ont pris une résolution duNouvel An le 1er janvier.

Si vous êtes l’un d’eux, il se peut quevous vous soyez fixé un objectif lié à lasanté.

Selon les recherches, 20 % desCanadiens exécutent avec succès leursrésolutions.

Vous pouvez compter parmi ceux-cien suivant des étapes « SIMPL ».

Les résolutions consistent à se fixerdes objectifs. Les objectifs « SIMPL »sont Spécifiques, Importants,Mesurables, Possibles et vous Laissenteffectuer un suivi.

Spécifiques : Ils définissentexactement ce que vous voulezatteindre.

Importants : Ils sont pertinent pourVOUS.

Mesurables : Ils comprennent despoints de repère clairs vous permettantde voir que vous réussissez.

Possibles : Ils représentent un défi,mais demeurent dans la limite duraisonnable.

Laissent effectuer un suivi : Ilscomprennent une méthode pour notervos progrès.

Voici un exemple d’un objectifSIMPL : « Je vais utiliser monpédomètre pour mesurer le nombre depas que je fais tous les jours et

augmenter ce chiffre de 10 % parsemaine jusqu’à en faire 10 000 enmoyenne par jour. »

Les objectifs nous aident àmaintenir la motivation en fournissantune orientation et à augmenter notreconfiance en procurant un sentimentde réussite chaque fois que nous lesréalisons.

Alors, que faire lorsque l’oncommence à manquer de motivation?C’est le moment de réexaminer votreobjectif.

Parfois, certains objectifs noussemblent trop ambitieux. D’autresprennent tant de temps à réaliser qu’ilnous est difficile de les garder en vue.

Envisagez de décomposer cesobjectifs en petits morceaux etdéterminez si vos objectifscorrespondent à vos préférences.

Est-ce que vous vous sentez plusmotivé en plaçant la barre légèrementplus haut que ce que vous serezcapable, en toute probabilité, deréaliser?

Vous préférez peut-être les objectifsmodestes que vous pouvez atteindrefacilement et même dépasser ou ceuxqui correspondent à votre rendementprévu.

En songeant à vos préférences et enajustant vos objectifs en conséquence,vous pouvez retrouver votre motivationpour les atteindre.

Maintenant que le premier aéroneftactique CC130J Hercules des Forcescanadiennes est entré en service enAfghanistan, plusieurs personnes qui ontpris part à cette mission la qualifientd’historique.

Il s’agit en effet du premier vol dunouveau modèle J du Hercules enAfghanistan ainsi que de la dernièrepériode de service du modèle H que lesForces canadiennes utilisent sur le théâtredepuis l’automne 2001. Le 8e Escadron demaintenance (Air) assure la maintenancedes aéronefs de modèle H à la 8e EscadreTrenton, en Ontario, mais le CC130Jmarque le retour de la maintenance au seinde l’escadron. Ainsi, l’équipage et lesresponsables de la maintenance du modèleH ainsi que ceux du CC130J sont tous desmembres du 436e Escadron de transport,également basé à la 8e Escadre Trenton, enOntario. Il s’agit de leur premierdéploiement en tant qu’escadron complet.

« Il s’agit d’une mission historique quivise à mettre l’aéronef de modèle J enservice, mais également à souligner les 50années de service des équipages etresponsables de la maintenance desaéronefs de l’ancien modèle », explique leLieutenant-colonel Colin Keiver.

« Au cours des quatre prochains mois,l’aéronef de modèle J et les aéronefs demodèle H seront employés côte à côte surle terrain, et les aéronefs de modèle Jprendront la relève lorsque les vieuxaéronefs de transport aérien tactique demodèle H, qui ont exceptionnellementbien servi le pays, auront été ramenés aupays et remisés. »

Le Capitaine Chad Gehl, qui a pilotéun aéronef Hercules de modèle H pendanttrois ans avant d’être nommé commandantde l’aéronef du modèle J, est emballé par lamission en Afghanistan.

« Étant donné toute l’instruction quenous suivons depuis un an et demi, nousserons heureux de piloter cet aéronefflambant neuf jusqu’en Afghanistan », aindiqué le Capt Gehl avant son départ.

« Le modèle J a été conçu en plein pource type de théâtre d’opérations. L’ancienaéronef était toutefois efficace; j’ai étédéployé à bord d’un aéronef du modèle H,et c’était en effet d’un excellent appareil,mais l’avionique et les moteurs du modèleJ sont encore meilleurs, et ce modèledispose d’autres fonctions plussophistiquées. J’ai donc vraiment hâte deconstater comment il se comportera sur lethéâtre, et cela devrait être toutsimplement formidable. »

Le Caporal Christopher Ricard, untechnicien en aéronautique qui compteneuf années d’expérience avec le Herculesde modèle H, est également impatient demettre toutes ses connaissances à profit surle théâtre.

« Je suis honoré de pouvoir servir monpays, et c’est très excitant de travailler avecun nouvel aéronef et de procéder à sa miseen service », mentionne le Cpl Ricardavant son départ vers l’Afghanistan.

Le Cpl Ricard travaillera aussi à titrede technicien navigant à bord de l’aéronefHercules de modèle J. Il se trouvera ainsi àbord de l’aéronef chaque fois que celui-ciatterrira ailleurs qu’à sa base d’opérations.

« Je suis avant tout technicien, mais ils’agit d’un nouveau poste à bord del’aéronef de modèle J. Comme aucunmécanicien ne se trouvera à bord, je suisplus ou moins celui qui donne des conseilsjusqu’à l’atterrissage. Je n’ai pas de tâchesprécises pendant les vols, mais j’apportesans contredit tout mon soutien. »

L’aéronef se rendant en Afghanistantransportait le premier équipage del’aéronef de modèle J ainsi que le dernierdu modèle H.

Dans quatre mois, le premier équipagedu modèle J reviendra au Canada et seraremplacé par un autre équipage tandis quel’équipage du modèle H quitteral’Afghanistan pour revenir au paysdéfinitivement.

« Je suis très fiers de tous les membresd’équipage de l’ancien aéronef et de ceuxdu nouvel aéronef. Ils apportent touscontinuellement leur contribution, et lesmembres d’équipage de l’ancien aéronef

servent en Afghanistan depuis près de dixans », ajoute le Lcol Keiver.

« Personne ne sait combien de tempsnous y serons encore et ce que nous yferons prochainement, mais à un momentou à un autre au cours des 50 années àvenir, des aéronefs CC130 mènerontvraisemblablement des missions au nomde notre pays, et ce sera formidable d’yparticiper. »

AU SUJET DU CC130J HERCULES

L’aéronef CC130J offre une fiabilitéaccrue et de nouvelles capacités et ilcontribuera à la réussite continue de nosopérations, ce qui aidera la Force aérienneà atteindre son but, à savoir « devenir lameilleure » de sa catégorie tout enconservant un haut degréd’interopérabilité avec ses alliés.

Le premier avion tactique CC130JHercules est arrivé au Canada le 4 juin2010, six mois avant sa date de livraisonprévue à l’origine. L’équipe de la Forceaérienne a fait preuve de son agilité, de saflexibilité et de ses qualités professionnellesen préparant le déploiement de l’aéronef et

de son équipage en Afghanistan en moinsde sept mois. Il a alors fallu adapter lesprocédures de formation, de maintenanceet d’exploitation aux caractéristiquespropres à cet avion tout en établissant uncalendrier de mise en œuvre réaliste etefficace devant faciliter la réalisationd’opérations sûres, efficaces et soutenues.

Le nouvel avion CC130J Herculesappartiendra à l’Unité d’aviation tactique(Force opérationnelle Canuck), qui faitpartie de l’escadre aérienne de la Forceopérationnelle interarmées enAfghanistan. Cet appareil tactique serviranotamment à mener des missions detransport de troupes et de fret à l’intérieurdes théâtres ainsi qu’à des opérationsd’éclairement du champ de bataille et deparachutage de paquetages de combat. Unsecond CC130J Hercules sera déployé enAfghanistan à la fin du printemps 2011.

Les 17 appareils CC130J seront tousbasés à la 8e Escadre Trenton tout commele futur Centre d’instruction de la mobilitéaérienne, qui accueillera le matériel et lepersonnel nécessaires à la formation desresponsables de l’exploitation et de lamaintenance des CC130J Hercules.

La nouvelle année est synonyme d’une nouvelle ère pour le transportaérien au Canada : Le modèle J du CC130 Hercules en Afghanistan

A worker received anelectric shock on a pieceof equipment he wasusing. He was notinjured, and he did notreport the incident.

A few days lateranother worker alsoreceived a shock from thesame defective equip-ment, and again did notreport the problem.

Within days a thirdworker also received anelectrical shock whichkilled him.

This true story illus-trates what can happenwhen we ignore closecalls in the work place. Aclose call is a chance toidentify a hazard andcorrect it before someoneis seriously injured orkilled.

We have all had manyexperiences with closecalls (also known as freewarnings) in our every-day lives. The best thingwe can do is to pay atten-tion to them and learnfrom them.

For example, most ofus have slipped whilerushing down a stairway.We may have caughtourselves before falling,

and then resolve to slowdown in the future.

Another example ispulling out to pass whendriving and being facedwith an on-coming car.

We quickly pull backinto our own lane, andtell ourselves next timewe will make sure it issafe before we try to pass.

In both instances,there was the potentialfor a serious accident butwe were lucky. We havelearned something by theclose call, and will proba-bly be more aware in thefuture.

Close calls in theworkplace serve the samefunction. They give us anopportunity to recognizethat something is wrongand to do somethingabout it before someonegets hurt.

There are a number ofcommon reasons for notreporting close calls. Oneis that we don’t want toget into trouble with asupervisor or fellowworker. Another reasonmight be embarrassment.

Nobody likes to admitto being part of an acci-dent or close call. Or wemight find it is too muchtrouble to report it -forms to fill out andinterviews to endure.

Another possible rea-son is that reporting anincident might ruin ourcrew’s safety record, caus-ing the loss of an incen-tive prize.

Of course, none ofthese reasons amount tomuch when you considerthat reporting a close call

might save a co-workerfrom serious injury ordeath.

Imagine what itwould be like to watch abuddy die because of ahazard which you knewabout but did not report.

Think about it - whatif you were the only onewho knew materials werebeing stacked unsafely,because just last weekyou had to jump out ofthe way of a fallingobject?

How would you feel ifanother worker wascrushed and killed whenthe stack collapsed again?

When an accidentoccurs and someone isinjured or killed, chancesare someone else knewthat the hazards existed.Think about that.

Someone else proba-bly had a hunch that thebrakes were worn out, orthe emergency exit wasblocked, or the chemicalcontainer was in a posi-tion to be knocked overor whatever.

How do you thinkthat person will feel afteran accident occurs?Chances are, he’ll wishhe had reported the haz-ard.

A number of companieswhich have enviable safetyrecords say that they treatclose call incidents as if theywere fatalities. They saythat the aim is not to placeblame, but to figure out thebasic cause of the accident.By treating close calls asseriously as accidents, wecan have fewer tragedies.

Close calls reflect accident hazards

Ideal For Empty NestersPlan Number 1-2-575

This home would be ideal for empty nesters,because the layout includes everything a down-

sizing couple could ask for, including a courtyardand a covered deck for hot summer days.

River rock and an iron gate mark the entrance tothe courtyard, which contributes character to theexterior and gives the house definite curb appeal.

The den, reached through double doors off thefoyer, is well-located for use as an office for a

home-based business.

The open family area has plenty of windows toensure ample natural light. The great room itself

boasts a 10-foot ceiling, as well as a centrallyplaced gas fireplace and a large bay.

The kitchen includes a pantry and a work islandwith an eating bar that seats two.

A spacious, partly covered sundeck stretchesacross the width of the house, enjoying accessfrom the dining room to the deck’s covered

portion. This spot will be ideal for year-roundgrilling, and the homeowners will enjoy the

outdoors with shade from the sun during thewarmer weather.

The master suite features a four-piece ensuitewith a soaker tub for that touch of spa-like luxury.The second bedroom has an adjoining three-piece

bathroom.

The double garage offers access to the house pastthe laundry room into the kitchen.

Exterior finished include horizontal siding,mullioned windows with painted trim. Pilasters

with stone bases frame the entrance.

The house is 48 feet, 4 inches wide and 62 feet, 10inches deep with 1,598 square feet of living space and

an unfinished basement.

January 9 – January 15Theme of the week: With Mercury moving into the sign ofambition Capricorn, our thoughts become more focused onthe goals we have for this new year. Notably, Mars movesinto the sign of the rebel Aquarius, bringing us a new senseof spontaneity. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You recently faced somedifficult truths about yourself. It led to a major shift inthe way you interact with the world. Be patient and stayin the process. Soon, you will have renewed hope inyour dreams. You are on the path to living with moreoptimism than ever.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A bonanza of good for-tune comes unexpectedly. However, you need to con-sciously strengthen the good news you hear by dwellingon it. Your default may be cautious, if not pessimistic.Overcome it to create positive momentum.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have the ability toeloquently state your case. You may wonder about yourpower to be persuasive. The most compelling words willcome from a spirit of spontaneity. Stay present and youwill make a strong impression.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22): You may be uncertain,but there is an umbrella of protection with you. Thereare few things you could do wrong right now. Theremay be fear that the good things now in your life areelusive. You care, that’s great, but keep making progress.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): What matters more, that yourboss likes it, or your supporters? You may be asked tomake a few slight modifications, but may worry thechanges will take the spirit out of your work. You’ll haveto find the middle ground. You can still keep theessence while minding the logistics.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t need to startfresh, and you certainly don’t need to reinvent thewheel. There are footprints in front of you, showingexactly the path to walk. Trust the tried and true way.Your desire for a new beginning can be channelledwithin it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a whole industrybuilt around teaching people the virtue and skill of timemanagement. As long as there are some of us who feelthere isn’t enough time, we will seek its secrets. You havea clear priority. Soon, you will have the energy to staywith it through completion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are part of amachine. There doesn’t have to be anything bad aboutit. Times like this ask you to put your individual con-cerns to the side and consider the whole team. Makesure you are well oiled and ticking along as your partasks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The more you donow, the less there will be to do later. You may have con-flicting desires. You are growing impatient with tediousdetails. Another part was to throw out the practical infavour of a big adventure. Handle what you must nowand plan the getaway you crave.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Living the dailygrind can lead some people to go numb. We becomeespecially prone when we feel unfulfilled but don’t wantto acknowledge it, because the consequences would betoo great. You have had enough of pretending. Thetruth puts power of change in your hands.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mars will enter yoursign at the end of this week. Until then, you’ve got aslow build-up of impatience that you may not knowhow to resolve. Let your dreams lead the way.Document their vivid details. Soon, you will have thedetermination to take the required action.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are going for goldwith enthusiasm. Soon, your inclinations will changetowards a more reflective mood. Until you get there,continue to give your all to the dreams that mattermost. There are countless blessings on your side.

Planning to get married?If you are planning to get married in the Roman Catholic Church, on Base or off Base, the Catholic party must contact first the Wing Chaplain’s Offices at 613-392-2811, Ext 2490 to beginthe pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to provide you with time to take the pre-marriage class (which must be attended) and the padre to complete the marriagefile, which must be sent to the Military Ordinariate’s Chancery Office no less than three months prior to the wedding day. Please, keep in mind that pre-marriage classes are not offered fromMay to September. This is applicable to all members falling under Military Ordinariate’s jurisdiction; that means for all CF personnel and DND employees who are RC. The latter have thechoice between their Wing Chaplain’s Pastoral Services and their civilian parish’s. If a Catholic party wants to get married under the Rite of a particular Protestant denomination, the above stillapplies.

If the marriage file is not processed on time, the Wing Chaplain’s office will not be held accountable. Three months is the minimum time to process a canonical marriage file (to Ottawaand from the church of your wedding). If you belong to a Protestant denomination and you would like to get married at the Wing Chapel, you are asked to contact the chaplain of your denom-ination at the earliest convenient time.

Vous planifiez de vous marier?Si vous projetez de vous marier selon le Rite de l’Église catholique romaine, aussi bien sur la Base qu’à l’extérieur, la partie catholique doit en tout premier lieu communiquer avec les bureauxdes aumôniers de l’Escadre au #613.392.2811, poste 2490. Ce premier contact, qui enclenchera l’ouverture du dossier prénuptial, devrait être fait six mois avant la date de la célébration dumariage. C’est le temps minimum pour planifier la session de préparation au mariage (à laquelle les fiancés doivent participer et qui ne sont pas dispensées entre les mois de mai et septembre.)et de préparer le dossier de demande de mariage. Le dossier doit être envoyé au bureau du Chancelier de l’Ordinariat militaire du Canada, à Ottawa, au moins trois mois avant la date choisie.Ce qui précède s’applique à toute personne assujettie à la juridiction canonique de l’Évêque du Diocèse militaire du Canada; en d’autres mots, à tous les membres des FC et aux employés duMDN qui sont CR. Cependant, ces derniers ont le choix de faire appel aux services des aumôniers CR de l’Escadre ou de s’adresser au bureau du pasteur de leur paroisse civile. A noter que sila partie catholique veut se marier selon le Rite d’une Église protestante, ce qui précède s’applique encore.

Il importe également de prendre note que si le dossier prénuptial n’a pas été complété et envoyé dans les délais requis, le bureau de l’Aumônier de l’Escadre ne pourra être tenu responsablede toute complication et des coûts qui pourraient y être reliés. Trois mois précédant la date: voilà le temps souhaitable que les bureaux de l’aumônier et du chancelier ont besoin pour prépareret acheminer un dossier de demande de mariage.

Si vous appartenez à une Église de confession protestante et que vous souhaitez avoir votre célébration de mariage à la chapelle de l’Escadre, nous vous demandons de communiquer avecle padré de votre confession religieuse le plus tôt possible.

Light bulb decoder + eco-friendly

(NC)—Looking to save some green on lightingbut confused by all the light bulbs on the mar-ket today? One of the most sustainable invest-ments you can make in your home today is toreplace your inefficient bulbs with eco-friendlylighting. Advances in technology have led the way tobetter options but have left some consumers inthe dark.

Here's a little primer to help light your way: Incandescent: This is a standard bulb; one of

the first household bulbs brought to mar-ket…and currently found in almost every retailstore. Although they cast a nice warm shade of

light, and can be used with a dimmer, they arenot energy efficient. The environmental con-cerns of consumers and government regulationsare slowly phasing them out of existence.

Halogen: This is technically an incandescentbulb, but has three features that make themsuperior to standard incandescent bulbs. Theyare brighter, whiter, and last longer. The energysaving option available from Philips; theHalogena Energy Saver (HES) saves up to 30per cent in energy costs and provides a longerlife than standard incandescent bulbs.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs): Theseare a very energy efficient lighting option usingup to 75 per cent less energy than incandescentbulbs; some can last for years before you need tochange them. They're slightly more expensivethan incandescent bulbs but since their life spanis so much longer, they're more economical.Stick to quality products like Philips family ofEnergySaver options of indoor and outdoorbulbs.

Light Emitting Diodes (LED): Thisadvanced new technology delivers outstandingefficiency and extra long life without the mer-cury/lead content, UV or heat. Energy savingsfrom these innovative bulbs is up to 80 per cent.They provide a bright, white light, are nowdimmable and will last longer than any otherbulb on the market. Again, lighting experts likePhilips have an amazing selection of LEDproducts to enhance the home, save you energyand money.
