Break out the bicycles!2nd Lieutenant Alyssa Mat-

thew cycled to work at 14 Wing Greenwood a couple weeks ago, and realized there was no bike rack outside her offi ce space at Wing Environment. Putting a few ideas together with her peers in the section,

Preparations will soon be underway for this year’s Wing Welcome, September 10 to 15.

There will be lots of great community activities taking place, with some new and some old favourites on the schedule.

The committee is looking for some great new volun-teers to help out with this year’s events. If you would be interested in sitting on the committee, or helping with some of the events, please join the fi rst committee meet-ing May 28 at 1:30 p.m. at the 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre, Church Street. For more information on how you can get involved, contact Jill Jackson, com-munity recreation manager, at 902-765-1494 local 5331.

and teaming up with the 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre, bike awareness is the focus of this year’s National Environment Week, June 1 to 7.

“Bicycling is all about active transportation,” says com-munity recreation director Jill Jackson. “We’re making that the theme – and don’t forget we’re heading right into June

is Recreation Month activities, too.”

Everyone who cycles to work next week – or walks, skateboards, rollerblades or runs – anything non-motor-ized; will be given a ballot by commissionaires manning the three wing gates, or they can be picked up at the community centre. There are some great recreational prizes up for grabs

Bike and winEnvironment, active living great reasons to get moving!

Putting pedal power behind 14 Wing Greenwood’s celebration of National Environment Week, and the kick-off to June is Recreation Month, Wing Environment and Community Centre staff will reward people arriving to work at the base using non-motorized modes of active transportation with chances to win. From left are Wing Logistics and Engineering Chief Warrant Officer Bill Hinchey and Com-manding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Brian Richardson, Kelly Aucoin and Jill Jackson from the Community Centre, and Steve Sauveur, Ken Smiley and 2nd Lieutenant Alyssa Matthew, Wing Environment.

– including Greenwood Golf Club passes and a new bike.

“We had someone ask, ‘Well, what if I go home for lunch and bike back into work after lunch? Do I get another ballot?” says Wing Environ-ment Offi cer Steve Sauveur. “Sure – if you’re using your bike that much – power to you!”

Sauveur is now looking

around the base at build-ing entrances and gathering points, like the Apple Bowl soccer fi eld, checking on how many bicycle racks are offered. If a few more can be added to encourage active transporta-tion – and fewer cars on the roads – those small measures will also make a difference in the wing’s environmental footprint.

Road and Vehicle Safety,14 Wing Greenwood

The 2015 motorcycle sea-son is upon us. 14 Wing Greenwood’s Road & Vehi-cle Safety personnel would like to wish all riders a safe and enjoyable riding season.

In preparation for riding, every motorcyclist should begin by inspecting and preparing their machines before the riding season begins. This includes performing any and all necessary main-tenance on their bikes: changing en-gine and transmission gear oils and fi lters, checking the condition of the tires and tread wear, lights and signals in working order, etc. Once your machine is ready for the road, check over your riding gear: helmets, jack-ets, chaps, gloves, eyewear, boots, etc. Pay special atten-tion to the condition of your helmet, probably the most important piece of safety

equipment you will ride with. If it needs to be replaced, replace it: it may save your life one day. And, don’t forget to ensure your license and insurance is up-to-date.

Be aware, ear-

ly in

the spring, local roads

may still have considerable amounts of sand and some-times salt on the road ways. That loose material between the tread of your tires and the road is extremely dangerous. You could easily lose control of your bike, ending with disastrous results. It may be best to wait until all loose material has been removed from the roads by either

heavy rains or municipal sweepers.

Next, have a look at your-self and the skills needed to ride that motorcycle safely. It’s probably been many months since you last had your bike out on the road, en-joying the wind in your face and the scenery whizzing by.

Some of those skills may be rusty. Exercise

extreme cau-tion when out

riding, but especially early in the year, when other road users aren’t used to having motorcycles on the road, too. Many other drivers aren’t very good at judging your speed on a bike, and how close you may actually be to them. Allow extra room between your machine and other vehicles in front of you so you have extra time to react to their driving – good or bad as it may be.

No matter what your type of motorcycle, take the time to properly prepare it - and yourself - for safe and enjoy-able riding this year.

Ride bike safe this summer

RCAF officer takes command of Joint Task Force-IraqDuring a ceremony May

13 at Camp Canada in Ku-wait, Brigadier-General Lise Bourgon assumed command of Joint Task Force-Iraq (JTF-I) from Brigadier-General Dan Con-stable.

Bourgon, a Royal Ca-nadian Air Force maritime helicopter pilot, has served in command roles through-out her career, including commanding offi cer of 406 Maritime Operational Train-ing Squadron, located at 12 Wing Shearwater, and, most recently, as com-mander of 12 Wing. She was promoted to her cur-rent rank April 23.

As commander of JTF-I, Bourgon will command ap-proximately 600 Canadian Armed Forces personnel deployed on Operation Impact, Canada’s military contribution to the Middle

East Stabilization Force, the multinational coalition aimed at degrading and ultimately defeating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The JTF-I includes the Air Task Force-Iraq (ATF-I) as well as planning teams and liaison offi cers working alongside counterparts.

sist in halting and degrad-ing ISIS,” said Bourgon. “Together we will build upon the excellent work of Constable and the fi rst ro-tation of Operation Impact personnel.”

The personnel deployed on Operation Impact are drawn from across the Ca-nadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence. This mission em-ploys a total force concept, which incorporates Regular Force, Reserve Force and civilian personnel possess-ing the necessary capa-bilities and skills to support

the mission. March 30, Operation Impact was ex-tended for up to 12 months, and its mission expanded to authorize the conduct of airstrikes against ISIS tar-gets in Syria. The Air Task Force contributes to coali-tion air operations with in-telligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, aerial refueling, and air-strike missions using preci-sion guided munitions. In addition, approximately 69 members of the Canadian

Armed Forces are working with United States forces in an advisory and assistance role by providing strategic and tactical advice to Iraqi security forces.

As of May 11, Canada’s effort to counter ISIS has included 896 airstrikes, 582 CF18 Hornet sorties, 163 CP140 Aurora recon-naissance missions, and 151 CC150T Polaris sor-ties, which delivered more than nine million pounds of fuel to coalition aircraft.

Lloyd Graham,VP International historian

The VP International (VPI) Wing at 14 Wing Greenwood celebrated “May Day” May 1 with its traditional Red Tie luncheon, Major General Christopher Coates, Deputy Commander – Canadian Joint Operations Command, as guest of honour.

The Red Tie luncheon was started by VPI May 1, 1990 as a way of acknowledging the prominence of NATO’s former maritime adversary, the Soviet Navy. For 25 years, tradition has required all VPI members and guests attending the function wear a red tie in recognition of that long “Cold War” era.

The president of VP Inter-national, Major Doug Publi-cover, introduced the head table, and then called upon the patron of VPI, 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston, to introduce the guest speaker. Huddleston started by rein-forcing his commitment to supporting the association and its goals of military pro-fessionalism and fellowship world-wide, then provided some insight into the Coates’ career, stressing the impor-

tance he placed on having him visit 14 Wing Greenwood and taking time to speak to the members of VPI.

Honorary Colonel Eric Wood, 404 (Long Range Patrol & Training) Squadron, was this year’s event coor-dinator, and he opened the gathering with the Red Tie Grace, followed by a toast to fallen comrades. The 63 attendees were then treated to an outstanding roast beef luncheon, prepared by the Kingston Lions Club. To end, Wood asked all to join him in the traditional toast to the Russian Navy.

Coates thanked everyone for the invitation, and in-dicated this was really his second visit to Greenwood, the fi rst being an emergency helicopter landing he made here many years ago. His current visit was proving to be interesting and busy, and he appreciated the opportu-nity to share his thoughts with VPI on the tremendous job air and ground crews are doing with the Block III Aurora. He saw Aurora crews tasked around the world, and feels there is no limit to the variety of missions ahead - as well as the inher-ent challenges planning for

these dynamically changing roles. Coates encouraged people to think about criti-cal resources, particularly those who fl y, maintain and support the Air Force, as they are critical to sustaining success. He thanked VPI for the opportunity to visit, and concluded by answering several questions.

RCAF featured on Discovery’s Mighty Planesprogram will also be explored, with an insider’s look at facili-ties in Nova Scotia where IMP Group is transforming the CP140 into one of the world’s most advanced intelligence, reconnaissance and surveil-lance platforms. Check local television listings to confi rm times.

June 5, the CC115 Buffalo and the CH149 Cormorant will work in tandem to save lives in Canada’s rugged wilder-ness. The search and rescue capabilities of 442 Squadron at 19 Wing will be showcased during water- and land-based exercises. Stunning air-to-air footage of the CC115 Buffalo conducting valley shoots and mountain contours in the Canadian Rockies will prove this aviation legend still has what it takes. Water-based medevacs, Cormorant hoists and para-rescue jumps are

some of the many adventures in this episode. Check local television listings to confi rm times.

The Best of Mighty Planes airs June 26 and features the CC130 J-model Hercules. This prolifi c aircraft was fea-

tured in a two-hour episode during the previous season of Mighty Planes and is mak-ing an encore for the show’s grand fi nale.

For 13 months, 1 Canadian Air Division Public Affairs, with assistance from 19 Wing,

The CP140M Aurora: one of the Mighty Planes showcasing the work of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Submitted

8 Wing and 14 Wing Public Af-fairs; has worked closely with Exploration Productions (Dis-covery Channel’s in-house production company) to pitch, develop and fulfi ll these epi-sode concepts. Significant support from the intelligence,

reconnaissance and surveil-lance; search and rescue and Department of National De-fence Imaging community has been instrumental in ensuring these episodes maximize their potential appeal and informa-tive value to Canadians.


The Greenwood Players are well into rehearsals, honing their acting skills to present the timeless modern classic, “The Odd Couple.”

Not to be confused with the current TV version, this is the real thing. One of Neil Simon’s best scripts, “The Odd Couple” demonstrates what can happen when two best friends fi nd themselves single again and in need of each other’s support. With the help of their poker buddies

and the two comely ladies several floors up, they find their new living conditions to be a strain on their friendship.

“COMMUNITY PROUD”“COMMUNITY PROUD”

May 31 is a three-way event on the 14 Wing Greenwood courses local, Valley and pro-vincial athletes are well familiar with.

The Greenwood Multisport Club presents the Royal Cana-dian Air Force Triathlon, along with fi ve and 10 kilometre run-ning events. All are chip-timed events.

The triathlon ($60 entrant fee, start time 9 a.m.) is set at the sprint distance (a 750 metre swim/ 30 lengths of the pool, 20 kilometre bike loop and a fi ve kilometre run). Para athletes are welcome.

The multisport club is co-presenting a fi ve kilometre race ($20 entrant fee, start time 8:30 a.m.) and a 10 kilometre distance ($25 entrant fee, start

time 8 a.m.). Both races will head out on the triathlon’s running segment, from the Greenwood Fitness & Sports Centre to the Greenwood Golf Course (10 kilometre runners will do the segment twice).

Triathletes and runners may register now at atlanticchip.ca. Race kit pickup starts at 7 a.m. May 31 at the Fitness & Sports Centre.

Volunteers are needed: con-tact Bernardi through atlantic-chip.ca or the Greenwood Mul-tisport Club Facebook page.

May 31: run, bike, swim in Greenwood events

Friends to the end Can ‘Odd Couple’ make it?

Madison, played by Simon Squire, and fastidious news writer Felix Unger, played by Todd Detcheverry, are brought to life by these two seasoned Greenwood Players’ actors. Whether poker play-ing buddies Murray, Speed, Vinnie and Roy help this odd couple remains to be seen, and the lovely Pigeon sis-ters are causing additional problems of their own! In the

end, “The Odd Couple” is a play about personal growth and discovery - but we don’t always fi nd what we’re look-ing for!

“The Odd Couple” runs June 2 to June 6, with cur-tain time at 7:30 p.m., at the Morfee Centre, School Road, Greenwood. Tickets are $8, available at both Middleton and Kingston Pharmasave, at the door or call 902-840-3853.

Bake auction a Replenishment favourite

Vente aux enchères de produits de boulangerie ou de pâtisserie, une occasion de ravitaillement favori

Corporal Stepanie Wall & Corporal Yves Cinq-Mars

Wing Rep len ishment Squadron held a pot luck luncheon, followed by its traditional bake auction. This social function contributes in strengthening unit cohe-sion and allows all members from both Food Services and Supply to partake in a relaxing and fun afternoon. It is a great atmosphere in which to get to know your co-workers out-side of the offi ce or between the four walls of our hangars.

Caporal Yves Cinq-Mars et Caporal Stephanie Wall

The bids went up very quickly and well beyond the retail price: treats can easily get to $20 within seconds. Master Warrant Offi cer S.D. Ellis keeps things going fast and fair, as emotions can get high when homemade treats are involved.

The Entertainment Com-mittee transfers all the money raised from the bake auction directly into our social fund. We would like to say a big thank you to the Replenish-ment Entertainment Com-mittee.

tionnel vente aux enchères de plats sucré pour les cuisiniers, techniciens en approvisionnement, et le personnel civil de la section ravitaillement. Ce dîner a contribué à renforcer notre esprit d’appartenance et nous a permis de passer un mo-ment agréable dans un esprit de camaraderie. Également, ceci fut bénéfi que pour pren-dre le temps de connaître nos collègues de travail dans une ambiance différente de celui qu’on retrouve dans nos bureaux ou entre les murs de nos hangars. Ces moments sont très constructif au ni-veau de la communication entre collègues, amies et superviseurs.

Les sucreries faite maison peuvent atteindre les 20$ facilement. Adjum S.D. Ellis dois nous remettre à l’ordre afi n d’éviter la perte de con-trôle car il est parfois d iffi cile de contrôler nos émotions lorsqu’il s’agit de dessert fait maison.

Le comité de divertisse-ment transfert l’argent accu-mulé directement dans notre fonds social. Un grand merci au comité de divertissement de notre unité de ravitaille-ment.

Beavers on iceThe 2015 Construction Engineering Atlantic Area Beaver Cup annual tournament kicked off between 14 Wing Construction Engineering (WCE) and 14 Wing Fire and Emergency Services’ “Smoke Eaters” at Greenwood Gardens May 5, as Corporal Roland Winsor (left), 14 WCE, faced off against Corporal Craig Henman. Captain Scott Bailey (centre) and Master Warrant Officer Robert Knight dropped the opening puck. The tournament took place May 5 to 8, with teams of engineers from Gagetown, Halifax and Greenwood.
