Honorary Colonel Dan Hennessey,14 Construction Engineering Squadron

Images of returning military personnel have changed over the years, if we think of the scenes of families lining the piers to welcome home men and women from the First and Second world wars - many of which had not been seen since they left home many years before; or, more recently, as our Navy ships return from extended deployments and loved ones await with homemade signs, fl owers and even, in some cases, marriage proposals.

Many of our military deployments are for dif-ferent durations these days, and usually not done en mass, as in years past.

Many years ago, while travelling in the United States, I witnessed something quite remarkable in the Atlanta airport. While waiting for a rental car, I heard loud applause. When I went to see what was happening, I saw a large group of soldiers from the 82nd Airborne of the United States Army arriving home from deployment. They were being escorted through the airport by members of the

Daddy is homeDeployment, homecoming mark both members’, families’ service

September 15, Paislyn and Briella Whynott stood out at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, waiting for their daddy, Corporal Rodney Whynott, to come through the arrivals gate. Deployed to Latvia as a mem-ber of 14 Construction Engineering Squadron, Whynott is just one of the many members of the Canadian Armed Forces who leave home to serve around the world.

One person’s role is an integral part of 14 Wing Greenwood’s mission, says Wing Commander Colonel Mike Adamson.

Speaking to a group of civilian em-ployees working in a variety of base units September 27, gathered for an employment orientation session at the Learning and Career Centre, Adamson provided details on base operations that depend on the 14 Wing “Operate as One” motto.

“You folks work day in, day out with the military on some very im-portant missions: long range patrol, search and rescue operations and our support to NORAD, identifying threats to North America,” he said. “What’s unique is we are a 24/ 7 operation. Lots of other bases are training and force generating; we are always doing something – sometimes you’ll know about it, sometimes you won’t. We have a force employment role, day and night.”

What 14 Wing contributes at home and internationally is recognized at the highest Canadian military and government levels, Adamson said, pointing specifically to the three

year-plus commitment to Operation Impact, with about 80 wing air crew and technicians deployed at any one time.

“Command knows we’re busy and tired, but the work being done here is vitally important. You folks are part of that.”

Keeping up with that pace could be an opportunity, too: Adamson en-couraged civilian employees to “look for yourself” in the recently-adopted national defence policy, “Strong, Secure, Engaged.”

“The plan is to grow personnel, equipment and capabilities, and the message to all of us is, there are opportunities, funding and room for growth. If there is something you see that needs fi xing or bad ideas or stupid policies, let us know. Don’t be afraid to raise those up, recognizing where we’re not being smart, effi cient and where we need to change things.”

Civilian employees provide an im-portant continuity in base operations: where military personnel come and go, civilian staff skills and knowledge are “critical to what we do on a wing – and what we do here.

“Thank you, and I congratulate you for your role as defence team members.”

Wing depends on ‘critical’ civilian component

United Service Organization, and the remarkable part was people in the airport were stopping, moving aside and clap-ping as they marched by. I thought: this is the way it should be always done.

Aurorat h e

These days, with many deployments being short and only a small number of mem-bers involved, many times, the individual leaves alone and returns alone. Soldiers are not often in a group with their fel-low members and, especially in the case of 14 Construction Engineering Squadron here on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, members serve in many fl ights across Canada under this command.

When members of 14 CES return, it is customary to have personnel at the Halifax Stan-

fi eld International Airport to welcome them home. This is one role, as honorary colonel, I truly enjoy. To arrive home and fi nd those who have sup-ported you - and your family - while you were deployed is an important strength of the “military family.”

September 15, a number of 14 CES personnel returned home from a deployment in Latvia and, in Halifax, that meant Corporal Rodney Whynott was coming home to his wife, Alexa, and their two daughters, Paislyn (two) and Briella (fi ve). The girls had manufactured a very

brightly coloured sign Daddy would immediately see, and little bags of treat and crafts they had made for his arrival.

Once word spread the fl ight had landed, the girls went into “welcome home mode.” Both had their faces pressed against the glass, proudly holding their sign, as pas-sengers began to descend to the baggage area. To say they were excited would be an understatement, and many of the passengers took no-tice. When Whynot himself reached the top of the escala-tor, the girls went wild - and his smile said it all. He was

just able to get out of the door before both girls jumped into his arms.

To be able to experience this moment as an outsider is an incredible experience. To see a member of our military family, who stood up and deployed many miles from home, fi nally returning to the family that had been vigilant at home and was now one again; was amazing.

This same scene happens again and again all over our country, as members of our Canadian Armed Forces de-ploy and do the job that needs to be done. They know their

families will work just as hard at home, but the homecoming

will always be that very special moment: “Daddy is home!”

Honorary Colonel D. Hennessey, 14 Construction Engineering Squadron

Second Lieutenant Dawn O’Connor

If you are close to retiring, it can be stressful wonder-ing what it is really like on “civvie street” after years of serving in the Royal Cana-dian Air Force (RCAF).

Two former aviators - an offi cer and a Non-Commis-sioned Member – were in-terviewed for their thoughts on how that transition went for them.

Captain (retired) Marcell Slawter was a former air navigator, now called an air combat systems offi cer (ACSO). When he retired, he went to work for Top Aces in Montreal as the director of operations, running fl ying operations for the company as it provided simulated live combat to militaries around the world. Slawter then moved to Ottawa to work at VIP Air Transportation, which works within 412 Transport Squadron, as a dispatcher for fl ights of high-ranking government offi cials, foreign dignitaries and medical evacuations. He is now “currently” retired.

Corporal Jeff Matthews was a former infanteer, airborne soldier and avia-tion technician. After nearly 30 years of service, he left the military and has worked at IMP Group, a third-line maintenance facility, and Jazz Aviation, a subsidiary of Air Canada Aviation. He is currently a faculty member for Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) at its Avia-tion Institute.

Their stories after a mili-

tary worklife, with regard to fi nding meaningful work and learning a new culture, are worth sharing.

Ten top career-launching tips

Start early – Begin your job search months prior to leaving. Know what you want to do. Also, know what your family wants. Are you willing to move? Do you want to work part time? Is it your spouse’s turn to advance his or her career?

Don’t be intimidated – Think of the transition as a game. Play it. Slawter says, “remember the leadership you’ve learned in the military is a huge asset for employ-ers, as is your ability to think outside the box. Employers are confi dent they can give you a task and leave you to it.”

Focus on your training – Matthews lets prospective military job-seekers in on a not-so-secret secret: “The training - there is no com-parison. You don’t get the same training in civilian life. Comparing the two, courses are longer and more in-depth in the military. In the civilian world, instead of a week, you might only get a half-day or something thrown on at the end of the day.”

Corporate culture change - If there are courses avail-able to help you transition from a military to civilian corporate culture, take them: they are worthwhile. It is easy to come across as a non-team player because military members are more likely to begin work on their

own and “just get it done,” instead of asking for input or assistance.

Be wary – Some compa-nies may try to undercut you for pay because you have a pension. Do your research and fi nd out what companies are paying for the position you are interested in.

Don’t overreach – Know what you are qualifi ed for, or get qualifi ed. Don’t stretch so far past your abilities you struggle finding em-ployment. If you become disappointed in your efforts, it creates negative effects to your confi dence.

“Don’t go in like a Storm Trooper,” cautions Mat-thews. “Try to integrate a

pace that matches that of the company’s employees. Don’t try to change that, until you can make a differ-ence that is accepted by all.” Assimilate by learning the environment.

Update your documents – Make sure all of your certificates, logbooks and documents are up-to-date before you leave the military. Having it presented as a portfolio will accelerate your indoctrination to the new company. This could include training, such as conflict resolution, WHIMIS, fi rst aid certification, management training and logging your work as necessary if you are pursuing a civilian technical

equivalency (for example an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering licence).

Lifelong learning – Once you’ve left the military, con-tinue your schooling. Take courses that will advance you in your trade or ca-reer. Don’t expect to stay in your fi rst job: it might be a poor fi t, or you may realize you are underselling your-self. Future employers look highly on candidates who continue to show an interest in education.

Integrate into the com-munity in which you are hired – Get involved in professional and volunteer opportunities in areas im-portant to your employer. Is there a non-profit or-ganization they sponsor, or events? Do you have a child in hockey, and so do many other employees? Connecting with the things important to the people around you will not only look favourable on a re-sume, it will be easy for your coworkers and employer to see you are willing to go the

extra mile and get involved.Create networks in your

industry – Join the Legion. It has many services that can help you transition, and it often has members who can provide employment leads. Join a Program Advisory Committee. Whatever your expertise is, look to colleges and universities in your area and offer input to their cur-riculum designers through one of these committees. Schools welcome industry to keep their programs cur-rent, and you will have the opportunity to meet other industry leaders here. If you are working, go to the hiring manager of your company to fi nd out if your company already offers feedback to a local college.

Look beyond the pay-cheque – Marcell suggests you ask, “What is the benefi t package?” There is nothing worse than retiring from fi ve weeks of vacation to find out you only get two. It can be worthwhile to negotiate. Sometimes time off is worth a pay cut.

Museum momentThe German battleship Tirpitz was the sister ship to the Bismark: two massive, 50,000-ton battleships spearheading the Nazi Kriegsmarine at the onset of the Second World War. Each featured eight 15-inch guns and represented a tremendous threat to Allied shipping. The Bismark was sunk May 24, 1941 and, over the next three years, numerous raids and hundreds of aircraft sorties - including some by 415 Squadron; eventually sunk the Tirpitz in Tromso Fjord, Norway November 12, 1944. The 415 Squadron display, pictured here, in the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum includes a link from the Tripitz’s massive anchor chain.

Nothing but smiling faces were seen in and around the Hornell Centre September 23, as families gathered for the annual family day event for 404 (Long Range Patrol and Training) Squadron and 14 Wing Operational Sup-port Squadron.

Over 200 people attended the event, including squad-ron members, spouses, chil-dren, parents and close rela-tives. Family day provides an opportunity for members to show where they work, and allows families to get an idea of what their family member experiences on a normal day in the squadron.

Families were able to tour the air traffi c control tow-er, where members direct planes that are taking off

and landing. Families also experienced what it was like to fl y a plane in the full fl ight simulator, a training simu-lator that allows aircrews to train for missions in an actual plane. Unfortunately this year, family members were unable to tour a static aircraft or be taken for a fl ight in the CP140 Aurora due to the planes being otherwise tasked.

A lack of airplanes did not seem to hinder the children’s level of excitement, as they enjoyed the various activi-ties, popcorn and a movie, Plinko and colouring provid-ed by the Greenwood MFRC, indulging in mouth-watering cotton candy and burning off their energy in two bouncy structures. Other features

of the day included static displays of a fi re truck and a Military Police patrol car.

The day culminated with a barbecue, manned by both squadrons’ command teams, including command-ing officers, deputy com-manding offi cers, squadron chief warrant offi cers, and 404 Squadron’s honorary colonel. It was a great op-portunity for the command teams to meet the families

that daily support the mem-bers under their command.

“It turned out to be a very enjoyable event, despite the last minute changes regarding fl ights and static aircraft,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Ray Townsend, commanding offi cer of 404 Squadron. He, along with the other command team members, was seen proudly showing his family around the squadron.

(EN) Lorsque les tempé-ratures rafraîchissent et que les jours raccourcissent, il n’y a rien de mieux qu’un plat maison pour créer une ambiance chaleureuse et invitante. Tout au long de l’automne et au début de l’hiver, c’est la saison des raisins frais de la Californie, ces fruits si délicieux à ajouter dans les muffi ns et les pains. Leurs couleurs appétissantes – rouge, vert et noir – font un effet surprenant qui ra-vira à coup sûr le palais des membres de la famille et des amis. Pour utiliser des raisins frais en cuisine, suivez ces conseils :

Faites un petit échange. Au lieu d’utiliser les habituels petits fruits dans votre recette de muffi n ou de pain, ajoutez plutôt des raisins. Intégrez-les entiers à la préparation quand la recette indique d’ajouter des petits fruits. Les raisins conservent leur forme pendant la cuisson et donnent un côté sucré et ju-teux surprenant à votre mets.

Misez sur une harmonie classique de saveurs. Les amateurs de sandwichs au

beurre d’arachide et à la gelée adoreront le parfum que donnent les raisins de la Californie aux délicieux muffi ns au beurre d’arachide dont la recette est indiquée ci-dessous. Savourez-les au déjeuner ou offrez-les en cadeau pour dire merci, bien-venue ou joyeuses fêtes. Em-ballez-les dans un parchemin brun que vous entourerez de ruban ou de raphia pour don-ner une touche champêtre.

Muffi ns au beurre d’ara-chide et à la gelée

Rendement : 12 muffi nsTemps de préparation : 10

minutesTemps de cuisson : de 14

à 16 minutes

Ingrédients• 240 g (2 tasses) de farine• 2 g (1/2 c. à thé) de sel• 7 g (1 1/2 c. à thé) de pou-

dre à pâte• 100 g (1/2 tasse) de sucre• 120 g (1/2 tasse) de beurre,

fondu• 120 g (1/2 tasse) de beurre

d’arachide croquant• 2 œufs• 250 ml (1 tasse) de lait

• 168 g (1 tasse) de raisins sans pépin de la Californie

• 60 ml (1/4 tasse) de gelée de raisins, remuée

Préparation1. P r é c h a u f f e r l e f o u r

à 350 ⁰ F. Placer des coupelles de papier dans 12 moules à muffins. Tamiser ensemble la fa-rine, le sel et la poudre à pâte.

2. Dans un autre bol, ajouter le sucre, le beurre fondu, le beurre d’arachide et les œufs, et mélanger jusqu’à ce que la préparation soit homogène. Ajouter les ingrédients secs et le lait, et remuer jusqu’à ce que

le mélange soit bien hu-mecté. Ne pas trop mé-langer; la pâte doit être légèrement grumeleuse.

3. Incorporer les raisins. Répartir la pâte dans les moules et garnir chacun d’une cuillère à thé de gelée de raisins. Faire cuire au four préchauffé jusqu’à ce que les muf-fi ns soient dorés, soit de 14 à 16 minutes. Laisser refroidir avant de servir.Information nutritionnelle

(NC) Missed alarms, stubborn teenagers and spilt milk are just some of the reasons you and your kids might be missing a healthy breakfast. Building a menu of a few grab-and-go breakfast ideas can help you never miss it again.

Here are some favourite, ready-to-eat breakfast ideas that will give your family a great start to the day.

Egg muffi ns. Incorporat-ing protein in your breakfast is one tactic you can use to stay full until lunch. Muffi n tins, eggs and your favou-

Start the day strong with these grab-and-go breakfastsrite veggies are all it takes to make egg muffi ns. To get additional fi bre, add some whole wheat bread crumbs. Egg muffi ns can be stored in your fridge for up to four days to get you through most of the week without any morning prep. Enjoy them cold or pop them in the microwave covered in a damp paper towel for on your way out the door.

Fruit smoothies. When many people think smooth-ies, they think fruit; but smoothies can also be a source of calcium, protein, fi bre and healthy fat. Top ingredients include ground

nuts or seeds, coconut flakes, kefir, nut or pea

butter, almond milk and a sneaky serving of spinach or kale. For a fast exit, fi ll your blender cups the night before and store them in the fridge so they’re ready to go in the morning.

Oatmea l b reak fas t bars. Speaking of fibre, whole wheat bread and cereals are great, but the kids may have a little more fun with oatmeal breakfast bars. For extra protein to

get you through to lunch, make a sandwich with two squares, a little nut or pea butter, some sliced banana or a spot of jam.

Trail mix bites. Trail mix, oats, pea or nut but-ter and coconut are all you really need for some stellar no-bake trail mix bites. Make a big batch on the weekend and store them in your fridge for the work week.

(NC) Every household has a handy junk drawer with a mismatch of useful items for everyday life. But no matter if yours is in the kitchen, garage or family room, there are a few essential household help-ers to help get you through any bind. Here’s what to stash in your junk drawer.

Quality tape. There is a reason duct tape has been called the “handyperson’s secret weapon” or “father’s favourite fi x-all.” Its uses are endless: designed for those moments when you need in-tense holding power, around-the-house fi xes, tough proj-ects on your seasonal to-do list, or moments in the great outdoors. There’s no project too big or too small for this

ferociously strong tape.Super glue. When your

repair is a bit too delicate for tape, turn to a strong super glue for a quick fix. From broken fi gurines to cracked jewelry, your breaks can be better in a matter of minutes.

WD-40. Known as the can

with a thousand uses, WD-40 protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates just about anything. It’s great for anything from lubricating squeaky doors and tight overcoat zippers to rust-proofi ng tools and cars.

Projects may be funded up to $3,000 (requests greater will be considered on a case-by-case basis). Before submitting your proposal, contact the

CHB coordinator, Genevieve Lefebvre, at 902-825-6161 local 1762357 or [email protected] to get more info on the application process. All submissions must be received by October 15. Ap-plications may be downloaded from communityhealthboards.ns.ca/wellness-funds.

Athletes bowl out of the Greenwood Bowling Centre, located in the 14 Wing Green-wood Community Centre on Church Street, every other Thursday evening, starting a 6:30 p.m.; and normally fi n-ish up at 8 p.m. The evening includes bowling two games, with a break for the athletes to have a snack and socialize. Bowling is a great way to get some exercise, have friendly competition and make new friends.

To be eligible to participate in Special Olympics program-ming, the person must have an intellectual disability. Two games of bowling, includ-ing bowling shoe rental (if required) will cost $6 (taxes included) and the athlete or caregiver is responsible for paying the fee to the bowling alley attendant upon arrival.

Registration for all Kings Special Olympics programs will take place in New Minas at the Evangeline Middle School September 28, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and October 12 at the Greenwood Bowling Centre, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The registration fee is $30.

Special Olympics bowling gearing up for another fun year

However, if you are unable to register at that time, just show up on the fi rst sched-uled night of the sport you wish to participate in with the athletes’ registration form, re-lease form and consent forms completed, along with the $30 registration fee. Forms may be downloaded from the Special Olympics Nova Scotia Web page at specialolympic-sns.ca.

Parents/ caregivers of ath-letes new to the Kings Special Olympics Bowling Program will be asked to accompany their registered or register-ing athlete on the fi rst night of bowling so the coaches have a chance to meet with you, discuss how to ensure the athlete can gain the most from the program and to answer any questions you or the athlete may have.

The bowling program is always in need of volunteer scorekeepers. If you have about three hours to spare a month, and want to make a difference, please call one of the numbers below.

First and foremost, our goal is to ensure every athlete has fun bowling, while increasing their activity level and mak-ing new friends. Should you have any questions or need information, contact Coach Pat Nixon (902-765-8011) or Coach Janice Turnbull (902-670-8843).
