What’s old is new again, with a big welcome back from Canadian Forces’ veterans and serving personnel.

Minister of National Defence Peter MacKay announced August 16 Canada will restore the historic designations of the three former services: the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), the Canadian Army (CA) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The news coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Naval Forces receiving the designation Royal Canadian Navy by King George V August 16, 1911.

“Restoring these historic identities is an important way of reconnecting today’s men and women in

uniform with the proud history and traditions they carry with them as members of the Canadian Forces,” said MacKay. “From Vimy Ridge to the Battle of the Atlantic and from Korea to the defence of Europe during the Cold War, the proud legacy of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force will once again serve as a timeless link between our veterans and serving soldiers, sailors and air personnel.”

February 1, 1968, the National Defence Act unifi ed the Canadian Forces. The identities of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force, dating back to the fi rst half of the 20th century, were replaced by Maritime, Land Force and Air commands.

Return of RCAF a ‘great’ day in Greenwooduniform, and even more proud to be honouring the rich history of our military,” said Chief of Defence Staff General Walt Natynczyk. “By restoring the historic designations of the Canadian Forces, we are continuing to show unifi ed strength here at home, and abroad.”

‘Great day’ in Greenwood

14 Wing Commander Colonel Jim Irvine donned a new, RCAF-logo hat August 16, as he announced the name change to his wing

... cover story. leadership and invited guests at the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum.

“This is putting back our heritage, and moving forward,” Irvine said.

I rv ine hea rd o f t he change the day before in an international teleconference between Canadian military leaders in postings around the world and Air Command Lieutenant General André Deschamps, who passed on the message the RCAF – and the Canadian Forces – will continue to do the work that needs to be done.

Still, “as a son of an RCAF

offi cer, I am very, very proud to be here today,” Irvine said, “and as commander of RCAF Greenwood.”

Irvine cautioned the new RCAF will still be one of three identifi able services in the Canadian Forces, “still doing things as a unified force.

“There will not be a return to three chiefs, three budgets and three ways of doing things.”

RCAF-specific, and in response to questions from veterans and guests in the audience, Irvine said 14 Wing Greenwood will not return to its RCAF Greenwood name, the RCAF crest will change to refl ect today’s bilingual force and traditional RCAF ranks will not return; Irvine said he himself would “love to see the return of the RCAF mess kit.

Air Force Association of Canada second vice-president and retired major Greg Spradbrow, a Kingston resident, was in Greenwood to hear the news.

“The association is proud

14 Wing Command-er Colonel Jim Irvine capped the RCAF name’s return with a new hat.

and pleased the Government of Canada has decided to restore the designation of ‘royal’.”

Spradbrow was an air cadet as a youth, an organization that did keep many of the RCAF traditions alive after the 1968 unification, and served for 32 years after enlisting in 1977. He expects the name change will help

insti l “newfound pride in the younger set,” and acknowledged past members always “held out hope” the connection with their service years would be restored.

Major Bob Johnson, the Greenwood museum’s general manager, says the RCAF name is “good for morale, tradition and history.

“My father and mother were both RCAF, I was born in an RCAF hospital – that has been lost for 43 years, and there are a lot of people who will be glad to see it back. Veterans especially lament and yearn for the ‘old days.’ That name means a lot, and the newer members will now feel part of that bigger tradition.”

“This wasn’t the plan: we moved the family to Ottawa, bought a house, and that call came not even three months later. We’ve moved fi ve times in six years, but this was not a tough decision job-wise.” His many recent moves give him real insight into the many sacrifices military families make.

In case anyone missed the comments of change of command presiding officer and 1 Canadian Air Division commander, Major-General Alain Parent, on Irvine’s “to-do” list is getting the multi-year Block III Aurora upgrade done. The CP-140s are “almost there, and the biggest priority,” Irvine says. When the modifications are finished, the plane will be “fabulous,” operational and ready for deployment.

He pledges to take care of wing operations and people, continue to oversee major infrastructure planned and underway and build on the community links more recent wing commanders have fostered.

“I have to think about continuity, goals and priorities.

Someone has started things I will fi nish; I will start things and someone else will fi nish them. In the meantime, I want to learn and meet my people over coffee. I want them to tell me what they do, how proud they are of their work and contribute to my understanding as wing commander.”

Looking ahead is always a challenge, Irvine says: operational requirements are always uncertain. Operation Mobile, for example, underway over the Mediterranean, is prepared to continue its role into the new year. Closer to home, 14 Wing Greenwood’s 70th anniversary takes place next year.

Even closer than that, while Irvine may have “the keys to the kingdom,” as he describes his new job, he’s living in a temporary residence with minimal belongings while necessary renovations take place at the commander’s residence. Irvine, wife Cathy and their 19-year-old son, Andrew, figure, with their moving experience, “they’re just the family” to take the settling in delay in stride.

Colonel Jim Irvine made his August 5 arrival speech to 14 Wing Greenwood personnel and guests as short and sweet as possible. Misty clouds creeping over the North Mountain towards the parade square came closer and closer through the change of command ceremony.

“I cut short my remarks – I knew my wife would be mad if she got wet!” he says. “The people on parade? They love it!

“No, I didn’t want to be the fi rst base commander to come in in the rain.”

I rv ine seems to have a good sense of humour, and he appears to be in an excellent mood, coming in as commander of the base where he started his Canadian Forces career in 1991. He arrived in Greenwood as a lieutenant, an Aurora pilot with 405 Maritime Patrol Squadron.

“I never got away with anything, no, no…. I was never in trouble. There are no tricks the supervisors don’t know about among the younger members.”

Irvine says that first tour taught him a great deal.

“405 gave me lots of responsibility, and lots of room to hang myself. The military is really good at giving people room to learn, make mistakes, then sit down and talk about them – and then move on.”

For him, the secret to success is continuous self-improvement. Over the years, Irvine added experience in Germany with the NATO Airborne Early Warning Force, came back to command 405 Squadron, deployed with Operation Sharp Guard over the former Yugoslavia, Opera t ion Eagle Ass is t after the United States’ 9-11 emergency and Operation Athena. He served at national headquarters and has several leadership and training courses under his belt. Through it all, he racked up 6,300 hours of military fl ying experience.

B e i n g t h e w i n g ’ s commander is “like coming home,” but he points out “someone now on my parade will come back someday as wing commander.”

Irvine just left Greenwood in 2010.

Acting Wing Commander LCol Jason Major and Acting Wing Chief Warrant Offi cer Ronald Kinsman were proud to present 14 Wing Serviceperson of the Quarter and the Civilian Employee of the Quarter Awards to Master Seaman Kim Smith, Wing Operations and Mr. Craig Fanning, 14 Air Maintenance Squadron.

For her outstanding professionalism, leadership and dedication to the wing and community, Kim Smith is awarded the Service Person of the Quarter. She devoted countless hours for RV2011 over many months, completing registrations, maintaining a database and as the event’s treasurer. Additionally, she billeted attendees and helped host the tremendously successful event. She also received the Gravell Award for leadership on her PLQ course, did a superb job as Acting Chief Clerk 404 Squadron and volunteered many hours at the veterans’ unit of Soldiers Memorial Hospital during the quarter.

Fanning is an exceptionally talented technician who continually seeks extra work, providing outstanding support to

Quarterly awards recognize dedication14 Wing and 14 Air Maintenance Squadron. In preparation for the Cadet glider school summer programs, Fanning rewired the avionics systems on the Cessna tow aircraft. He single-handedly alleviated an extreme backlog of unserviceable instrument lighting panels and fabricated specialty cables for the CP140, further demonstrating his exceptional capabilities. While accomplishing these tasks, he readily shares his experience with junior technicians, honing their skills in the troubleshooting and repairing of avionics equipment. His willingness to assist all, in both the successful completion of tasks and training of personnel shows he is a most deserving recipient of the Civilian Employee of the Quarter.

June 30, Major Russ Defer, the outgoing commanding officer of the Maritime Proving and Evaluation Unit, handed over the reins to Major Kurt Lalonde.

In the presence of the presiding officer, Colonel Bil l Seymour, 14 Wing c o m m a n d e r , t h e u n i t paraded 18 offi cers and non-commissioned members, both aircrew and technician members, reflecting the unique composition of this small but tight-knit team.

Defer leaves the unit after two productive years to become a student for a year at the United Kingdom Joint Command and Staff College in Shrivenham, England. He supervised the introduction into service of the Overland Equipment Mission Suite in time for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, laid the foundations for the future testing of the Block III Aurora and oversaw many other smaller projects.

Lalonde comes back to the unit, having previously been a member. As a captain, he was posted to the unit as a project offi cer in 2004 and,

when promoted to major in 2005, he became the senior navigator and then the deputy commanding offi cer. He comes to the unit from

404 Long Range Patrol and Training Squadron, where he was the deputy commanding offi cer, and takes command of the unit when it is about

to start operational testing of the new Block III Aurora, an aircraft that brings with it a huge capability increase over the current platform.

14 Wing Transportation and Electrical Mechanical Engi-neering (TEME) Squadron and 14 Mission Support Flight (MSF) said goodbye to Major Glen Watters and welcomed Major Andrea MacRae as the squadron’s new offi cer com-manding July 25.

The offi cial handover took place with a change of appoint-ment parade, followed by the offi cial signing of documents between the two majors and the parade’s presiding offi cer, wing logistics and engineering officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ghislain Létourneau.

Watters is posted to To-ronto and will attend the Joint Command and Staff Program at Canadian Forces College. In his address to dignitaries, invited guests and squadron members, Watters refl ected on the outstanding achievements of TEME and MSF and the tremendous dedication of all members throughout his com-mand. Watters is confi dent this will continue under MacRae’s leadership.

MacRae began her military career as a resource manage-

ment support clerk, joining 721 Communication Regiment in Charlottetown. In 2000, she completed a component trans-fer to the Regular Force as a log offi cer. Upon completion of basic training and second language training in St Jean, MacRae was posted to 19 Wing Comox as the technician mobile support equipment operator and subsequently appointed as the wing transport offi cer. After an accelerated promotion to cap-tain, she was posted in 2004 to CFB Esquimalt as the transpor-tation services offi cer. In 2007,

MacRae was briefl y posted to 1 Canadian Air Division into the A4 MSE 2 position, respon-sible for fl eet management for the Air Force. MacRae was then appointed acting A4 MSE until July 2009 , when she was posted into the A4 MSE posi-tion. In 2010, she deployed to Op Athena, Kandahar Airfi eld, into the TFK J4 Mov Ops po-sition. In July 2011, she was posted to 14 Wing Greenwood as the wing transport electical mechanical engineering offi cer. MacRae is married and has a three-year-old-daughter.

My family lost both its parents to cancer almost eight years ago. My son, Master Corporal Nick Charlton of 409 Squadron, Cold Lake, Alberta; has spoken several times about doing a fundraiser for cancer and donating the proceeds in honour of Michael and Alvona Lowe. My father was military and, at one time, was the base chief at 14 Wing Greenwood (chief warrant offi cer).

Our family has spent a weekend in July - at least for the 51 years I have been alive - at the Sissiboo River power dam area, where my mother was brought up. My grandfather was one of the ones who built the dam years ago. While we are all older and have kids of our own and my parents are gone, we still go to Sissiboo every year. What better place to hold a family fun draiser than at Sissiboo?

In May, we held a craft/ penny sale/ bake sale at the Havelock Fire Department (my sister, Michelle, is a fi refi ghter there) to raise funds to support our big event; with the family donations, over $2,000 was raised. This gave us the money we needed to rent chemical toilets, buy food and prizes etc. for the fundraiser weekend.

The family fun day and camping weekend, “Sissiboo 2K11,” was held July 22 to 24. Camping was available by freewill donation in an adjacent fi eld near the river (owned my brother, John). Our whole family was involved, with donations from the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and siblings of Michael and Alvona. We held the kids’ day July 23 at the river, with lots of games and prizes for people of all ages, including a dunk tank, face painting, a small bounce kingdom, spin-the-wheel game and other games of chance. We also sold tickets on a few items as well. Water activities included two water trampolines, boat and tube rides, and we also had two canoes and two paddleboats for the kids to take out. A BBQ ran from noon ‘til 7 p.m., and balloons were sold for $2 in memory of a loved one. The balloon launch was held just before dusk. This was followed by a display of fi reworks at the river. After the fi reworks, we held a big screen movie for the kids to watch at one end of the campground and, at the other end, the band, “Sons of Peat,” played for several hours.

A very special thank-you goes out to all the crew at 14 Air Maintenance, 14 Wing Greenwood: it would not have been as successful a fundraiser without the help of each and every one of them. Many others – individuals and businesses - contributed to the event this year: We did break the $4,000 mark with our efforts, and over 300 people attended. Hopefully, Sissiboo 2K12 will be better and bigger!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Travel is in your immediate future, Aries. You just won’t be sure yet if it will be a long trip or a day just to get away from it all. Regardless, it’ll involve family, too.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Start putting your money where your mouth is, Taurus. There’s only so long a person can keep stringing along others. Sooner or later your time will be up.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, it’s time to make up your mind about an important decision that’s going to effect others. The next few weeks will be extra busy, so start preparing.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you are in a festive mood and you don’t really know how you are going to celebrate. Others are willing to join the party if you let them participate.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23You haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, Leo. Others have noticed the change in your demeanour and have questioned it. Things will subside shortly.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, avoid making any big changes in the next few days. Your personal life is about to undergo a big change, and you will have a lot of choices to consider.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23It’s alright to take other’s advice once in a while, Libra. You don’t always have to march to the beat of a different drummer. Think about this in the next few days.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, there’s so much going on daily that it’s easy for you to feel scatterbrained and make mistakes. It’s defi nitely hard to focus when there is confusion. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, a relationship is strained and you are asked to mediate the situation. Don’t get too excited about being a referee, though. It comes with much responsibility.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you need a break from things but don’t know what the break will be just yet. Start jotting down ideas that will relax your mind and your body. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, things are about to heat up and you may feel overwhelmed in the next few days. Don’t let your temper get the better of you or it could lead to more stress.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, bide your time because change is on the horizon. Events that unfold will not be what you expected.

Gardeners - especially dahlia growers – are early to rise and take a plod to the garden to see “what’s doing.” Each dahlia that blooms is greeted as a long lost friend, their names giving a statement to their character. New varieties are nurtured like adopted children, with crushing disappointment when hordes of slugs feast on the expensive new arrivals. Diving into the classifi cation and colour charts has the grower searching the pages for any changes to form or size and, many times, there are none to take note of.

Dahlia growers take preference to certain forms of the species, such as the waterlily form; or, there are those partial to those giants. Personally, it would be nice to cut down on the numbers of plants and varieties, but it seems it will be near impossible to accomplish that objective when one will not let go of even a single dahlia.

Growers from the far reaches of the province will be descending on the Greenwood Mall August 27 to compete in an American Dahlia Society Show, hosted by The Annapolis Valley Dahlia Society, exhibiting new varieties from other countries. The show will set up on the Friday evening, as many exhibitors will come a great distance. There will be a novice section for exhibitors who have never entered an ADS show before. So, if anyone has been growing dahlias and would like to try to show what they have grown, all you need to do is call Nina Dandurand at 847 3255 for information on how to enter. Along with this show of dahlias there will be the opportunity to enter glads as well. Some of these glads were bought from Canadian hybridizers who show their varieties worldwide. They are of a better standard and the colours may be different from the usual glad offerings available in most stores. There will be also arrangements in the exhibit to be judged. The idea of the show is to present to the public what can be grown and, perhaps, they would like to try these in their gardens. There will be members there to answer any questions you may have on growing dahlias. The viewing will take place at 1 p.m., right after the judging. Blooms from the show will be sold, beginning around 3:30 p.m.

The Valley club’s meeting in September will be held at the Nicholsville hall, at the corner of Victoria and Harmony roads, at 7 p.m., with a program on fl ower arranging with dahlias.

go river rafting on the Clyde River and, although Connie, Hazel and I didn’t go, the ones who did had a super time. Next year, I am sure all of us will join in. Our little friend, Betty, looked like an upsidedown turtle in her raft, and Wanda and Deena were having a snooze during their cruise. Very peaceful, according to them. They were fi ghting the tide at the end, so they were tired - some even called to us on the shore to bring them a drink! Other than a few door prizes and

Wendy’s lobsters for landing on the line, our ladies only brought back memories.

The bronze competition was held this past week and, although Greenwood ladies didn’t win the prizes, we had a great time. The course was pretty wet at Berwick, but the sun did shine and we were able to get the round played. The team from Antigonish won.

Randy Anderson and Bill MacDonald did very well at the 2011 Senior Two Ball Championship at Avon

Valley. They won 2nd LG in the 2nd Division. Well done! Congrats to Paul Tidman and Tom Banks from Paragon, who won the tournament.

Can you believe it is the middle of August and we are starting to gear up for Curling? Not that the weather wouldn’t indicate curling weather. As I sit writing this, it is cold and wet.

T h e e x e c u t i v e o f t h e Greenwood Curling club is already making plans for a fun year. The plan is to have the ice in by October 12 and, soon after, be running a free clinic for anyone wanting to try “the roaring game.” Our club is a fun club and we welcome new members. October 16 and October 23, we are planning fun nights: membership is not required, just come out and

Curling around the cornergive it a try.

Wing Welcome is coming up the weekend of September 10 and the curling club will have an info table at the rec centre. Drop by and ask any questions you have about the leagues; also, check out the club website, www.greenwoodcurling.ca.

The regular leagues will begin the week of October 14. Monday is men’s night, Tuesday ladies’ night and Wednesday the mixed league.

This year, our club will be hosting the men’s playdowns for the Dominion curling championship late in February.

Start looking for your curling shoes and dust off your brooms - curling is just around the corner!

Slap shot, shoot, score!after lunch. Tuesday, after a few more drills, sports camp participants competed in our very own skills competition, consis t ing of accuracy, speed, agility and other tests. Wednesday, campers took a break from hockey for a fun, relaxing and sunny day at Aylesford Lake. Thursday

morning concluded our skills competition, followed by a hockey film at the Birchall Centre before swimming. Friday, the camp split up into teams to test out all their new and improved skills in sports

camp’s own mini hockey tournament.

This week we look forward to our martial arts week at camp, with special guests coming in for boxing, akeido and more.
