“I am extremely proud of the accomplishments made by our women and men in the Canadian Armed Forces in the global coalition against Daesh,” said General Jonathan Vance, Chief of the Defence Staff. “As the situation on the ground evolves, we must continually re-evaluate how Canada’s military can be most effective in support of the coalition. I am confi dent these additional authorities will help us be more agile and fl exible as we respond to the needs of our allies and partners.”

A 415 (Long Range Pa-trol Force Development) Squadron crew from 14 Wing Greenwood deployed to Andoya, Norway June 19 to 25 to take part in a Mari-time Patrol Aircraft (MPA) Symposium, hosted by 333 Squadron Royal Norwegian Air Force as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations.

The symposium brought together crews from 21F Squadron French Air Force, VP-16 United States Navy, 333 Squadron and 415 Squadron to discuss issues relevant to the MPA com-munity, with each nation providing an update on fl eet capabilities and current op-erations. The symposium’s overarching theme was search and rescue (SAR), and each nation also in-cluded in its presentation details of a SAR incident and lessons identified as a consequence. The 415 Squadron brief covered the Royal Western Yacht Club Trans-Atlantic Race SAR incident and 14 Wing’s in-volvement following the receipt of multiple distress calls through June 9 and 10.

The symposium also in-volved a fl ying competition, which set out to challenge crews’ skill in the areas of SAR and anti-submarine

June 22, Sergeant André Hotton received the 413 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron Spotter Trophy from Commanding Offi cer Lieutenant-Colonel James Marshall.

May 27, the crew of Res-cue 335 was tasked to search for two missing fi sherman north of Ile d’Anticosti, Que-bec. �Following a one-hour transit to the last known location of the two fi sher-men and their 18-foot fi shing boat, the crew conducted its preliminary search of the

warfare (ASW). The best crew would be crowned Arctic MPA Champions and awarded a trophy. The crews were evaluated in fi ve areas, including the ability to make the briefed take-off time and reach the area entry point via an en route waypoint on time. They were tested on the total time taken from the entry point to locate an Expendable Mobile Acous-tic Training Target given a Datum position, such that it transmitted between a pair

of buoys 2,000 yards apart, prior to proceeding to the area exit point – within 30 minutes, with just 10 sono-buoys. Crews had to locate a group of “survivors,” with an emphasis on the accuracy of the positional data passed for their location and number of survivors. Finally, the challenge was to come in as the crew with the shortest overall fl ight time.

The 415 Squadron crew were successfully airborne within 12 seconds of their allotted time: unfortunately, an equipment malfunc-tion as their aircraft lined up for take-off prevented them from achieving the exact time. Once airborne, the crew hit the required area entry point time to the second, and an efficient descent into the area permit-ted immediate deployment of sonobuoys once in the datum. Acoustic contact was gained on the very fi rst sonobuoy deployed, and further tracking sonobuoys were dropped. Once the crew was content the target would transit through the buoy pattern, and as there was no requirement to conduct an attack, the crew members expedited their departure, climbing so sonobuoys could still be monitored in transit.

They were the only crew to consider doing this. The whole evolution took only 13 minutes. Once through the exit point, the crew saw the target transit through their buoy pattern, meeting the test’s objectives, before descended again to start the SAR scenario.

From the brief, survivors were assessed to have made it to the shoreline between Andoya and Nordmela. A vi-sual and electro-optic search

was commenced, and the 415 Squadron crew spotted the survivors on the first pass; only two of the four competing crews achieved this. The crew orbited to confi rm the exact survivor location, their number and condition; before departing for Andoya - landing after 58 minutes.

Once all crews had re-turned, a nail-biting wait commenced: the USN P-8 also landed with a total time

‘Eagle eye’ ensures search successJacques-Cartier Strait to no avail. Moving forward with a more expansive search, the crew began an expanding search pattern at 500 feet above the water. From this altitude, the crew estimated the sea state at 5/ 6 on the Beaufort scale, equating to winds at 35 kilometres per hour with nine-to 13-foot waves, extensive white foam crests and sea spray.

It was during this search when Hotton spotted a small white object between the white-capped swells.

He called the aircraft back around to try and spot it again. Following the same line, Hotton managed to pick up the object once again and attempted to point it out to the rest of the crew. Being as the object was very small, the same colour as the waves by which it was surrounded and slightly sub-merged below the water’s surface, it was diffi cult to pinpoint. The crew elected to pass over the object at a lower altitude in an attempt to positively identify the

object.During a 300-foot pass at

a slower airspeed, Hotton was able to 100 per cent confirm the object was, indeed, an overturned 18-foot boat. The position was passed on to the Halifax Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, and the Coast Guard was redirected to the search object.

On this day, Hotton’s tech-nical skills, vast search expe-rience and keen “eagle-eyes” were directly responsible for the success of the mission.

of 58 minutes, and the Nor-wegian P-3 in 57 minutes. The French Atlantique 2 landed after 1 hour 10 min-utes due to a delay in fi nd-ing the survivors. The 415 Squadron crew’s fears were unfounded, as subsequent results put them in top spot in three of the fi ve areas and second fastest overall.

Consequently, 415 Squad-ron was the winner by a clear margin, crowned the 2017 Arctic MPA Champions.

This 415 (Long Range Patrol Force Development) Squadron crew won the 2017 Arctic Maritime Patrol Aircraft challenge, hosted by 333 Squadron Royal Nor-wegian Air Force as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, June 19 to 25.

Congratulations to the 58th Annual Kingston Steer BBQ & Village Fair from your friends

at McDonald’s Greenwood

“Well now, you understand, somebody has to pay for that steer, but who?”

These - or words to that ef-fect - were uttered by the late O.H. Armstrong some 58 years ago, ushering in the beginning of the Kingston Steer BBQ and Village Fair, now the oldest continuous running whole steer BBQ in North America.

Approximately 10 men from the Kingston and District Board of Trade each pledged $50 to cover the cost of the steer, food and all the fi xins’ for the event, fi rst held July 9, 1960. They had to overcome one gigantic hurdle: no one had ex-perience in barbecuing a whole steer! Enquiries were made far and wide as to how to proceed, but no replies covered steers cooked on a spit. By then, the famous BBQ founders were determined to do it. The very first Steer BBQ ended up a resounding success and, from that day on, the Steer BBQ has

58th Kingston Steer BBQ & Village Fair July 8become a much-anticipated weekend of family-friendly fun in the Valley.

Over the years, many events and activities have been held and, although some have dis-appeared, the same commu-nity spirit endures. The Steer BBQ itself has remained the same, with additional roasts being cooked and the original brick BBQ replaced by a large, all-metal BBQ oven. For many years, a team of Kingston Li-ons known as “the keepers of the beef” have been entrusted with the 18-hour, overnight cooking process. For the last 19 years, the steer has been generously provided by Fras-ers Pro Home Centre. This year’s event will begin July 7, as the steer is spitted, wrapped and coated with spices - a process that attracts a bunch of interested bystanders. Then, using a tractor with a set of long fork tongs, the steer is placed into the large cooking

oven, where the long and slow cooking begins. The tender and juicy steer is ready to be served by noon hour July 8, as a cold plate meal and “burger bits:” fi nely chopped beef on a bun with delicious gravy.

The Kingston Steer BBQ and Village Fair is jointly organized by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 098, the Kingston Lions and the Village of Kingston. The superb co-operation, dedi-cation and hard work put in by these pillar community organi-

zations has been instrumental in the success of the entire event over the years. Chair-manship is rotated each year, and all funds raised are shared among each organization’s activities in the community.

Beyond the steer itself, a variety of activities take place during the weekend. Friday evening the well-known Sparky Five-Kilometre Fun Run, orga-nized by the Kingston Fire De-partment takes place, followed by food, bounce kingdom,

face painting, beer garden and entertainment. Saturday morn-ing, the fi re department hosts the traditional family pancake breakfast, followed by a parade that starts at 10:45 a.m. from Old Brook Road, goes along Main Street and ends up on Westwood Street at the Credit Union Centre grounds, where all remaining activities take place.

Saturday, there will be a craft fair, different activities for children, live stage enter-

tainment and a beer garden. Making a debut will be the Domino Man with two top-plings July 8 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Back again, is the running of the Millville Community Hall Motorcycle Photo Hunt. The offi cial opening of the Harvest Moon Trail takes place in front of the village’s signature “s teer statue,” in front of Superstore on Main Street at 2 p.m. The Legion will host a closing dance at 9 p.m. for everyone 19-plus.

An event of this proportion could not take place without the support of local busi-nesses, volunteers and com-munities in the area, for which organizers are forever grateful. Just the fact this event has grown over the last 58 years is proof of the sense of com-munity pride of the people in Kingston and surrounding communities.

58thAnnual Kings

After years of planning, collaboration, consultations and trail building, the An-napolis Valley Trails Coali-tion (AVTC) is proud to present the Harvest Moon Trailway, a high-quality trail experience united under one name to increase trail use and experience in the Valley region.

The 117-kilometre Harvest

Moon Trailway traverses the Annapolis Valley through beautiful towns along the for-mer DAR rail line, connecting points between the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Grand Pré and the historic seaside town of Annapolis Royal.

“The Harvest Moon Trail-way is a safe, multi-use ac-tive transportation route that passes through picturesque

communities offering access to farm markets, wineries, craft beverage producers, restaurants, U-picks, ac-commodations and other businesses,” says Beth Pat-tillo, chair of the Annapolis Valley Trails Coalition. “The trailway aims to increase trail activity, promote active living and grow economic opportunities for communi- Take part in Sparky’s an-

nual 5K Fun Run & Walk, hosted by the Kingston Dis-trict Fire Department Friday evening, July 7.

With all new medals this year, the event will be limited to 200 entries. This is not a timed event.

Registration is now online

Sparky says run, walk all for fun

at runningroom.com ($25 online, $30 race day). Race day registration begins at 5:45 p.m. at the Credit Union Centre, with race time at 7 p.m.

For race inquiries, contact race director Allison Ruggles, [email protected] or 902-848-6194.

Harvest Moon Trailway open to explore this summerties along the corridor.”

The Harvest Moon Trail-way is the result of a part-nership of 10 community and municipal trail groups, funds provided from both municipal and provincial governments and, most im-portantly, the work of many volunteers throughout the Valley.

The Harvest Moon Trail-

way is currently complete from Wolfville to Tupperville, with the Tupperville to An-napolis Royal section set to open July 8 as part of the 58th Kingston Streer BBQ and Village Fair, in front of the village’s signature “ste er statue,” Main Street; at 2 p.m.. The remaining section, between Wolfville and Grand Pré, will open August 19.

Sara Keddy,14 Wing Public Affairs

Recognizing “consummate knowledge” of what it takes to fl y, two 14 Wing Green-wood men were presented their wings and admitted to the ranks of fl ight engineer June 21.

Corporal Shawn Malone and Corporal Dave Bettle recently completed Multi-Mission Operational Aircrew Training (MOAT) on the CP140 Aurora aircraft, and 14 Wing Commander Colonel Pat Thauberger was pleased to present them with their wings insignia.

“Why do we give wings? It’s important to refl ect on what they are, back to the very dawn of fl ight; that there was a need to recognize a unique skills set and the people who were taking their lives in their hands in very small airplanes – just to get airborne,” Thauberger said. “It was creating tactics and operating on the fly – and that is relevant today, as we

fl y the Block III and get ready for Block IV. It falls on the shoulders of junior air crew, and you’re part of that.

“We put a lot of trust and faith in you to have consum-mate knowledge of what it takes to fl y; a crew relies on each other, a lot falls on the shoulders of fl ight engineers, and you’ve proven you can do it.”

Malone joined the Lorne Scots Infantry Reserve in Ontario in 1999, and trans-ferred to become an aviations systems technician in 2007. In 2015, he applied for fl ight engineer training and was accepted in 2016. He is now posted back to 405 Squadron and will continue his career as a fl ight engineer.

Bettle joined the Armoured Reserve Regiment of the 8th Canadian Hussars in New Brunswick in 2000. In 2007, he transferred to the air force as an avionics technician. In 2016, he was accepted for the MOAT course, and is now posted to 407 Squadron in Comox.

The annual 14 Wing Greenwood Wing Welcome Rexpo is set for September 9, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Fitness & Sports Centre.

Rexpo is a great way to showcase your orga-nization’s programs and services, and have people register for fall and winter

activities. Several hundred people visit the 100-plus displays, featuring 14 Wing Greenwood’s own range of recreation clubs and a variety of community or-ganizations, wing sections and local businesses. Many exhibitors offer raffl e prizes and coupons, so it’s a great

chance to fi nd out who offers what in the local area - and maybe get lucky. The main Wing Welcome grand prize raffl e drop-off is also set up at this event, so make sure you enter to win.

There is limited display space at Rexpo, so register early. Businesses will pay

Show off your stuff at Wing Welcome RexpoStrength in MFRC team adds up

Sara Keddy,14 Wing Public Affairs

The “strength behind the uniform” are families, and Colonel Pat Thauberger knows the 14 Wing Greenwood Mili-tary Family resource Centre is the “bedrock” for families themselves.

“We have an incred-ibly strong MFRC here, but it doesn’t happen by accident,” he said at the MFRC’s an-nual meeting June 21. “All the goodwill and motivated volunteers can’t accomplish much without the coordina-tion and dedication to pull it all together” found in the volunteer members that make up the board of directors, and the centre’s staff.

Thauberger said the pace of the wing’s operational busi-ness, combined with its set-ting in a rural community with sometimes limited resources and programs, means the MFRC fi lls an important role.

“We rely on our MFRC, more than a lot of bases have to; and I know with the pres-sures on our families, we couldn’t do what we do with-out the MFRC.”

Board chair Beth MacLean says the strong combination

Several Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre staff were recognized June 21 with service awards: from left, Rachel O’Rielley, five years; Brenda Virtue-Ellis, 10 years; and Mary Wredenhagen, 10 years. S. Keddy

of volunteers and staff lead-ing the MFRC means fi nancial oversight, strategic planning, governance work – and the fun stuff, including wrapping up the centre’s 30th anniver-sary in 2016 and hosting the Atlantic MFRC conference earlier in June.

Centre executive director Margaret Reid echoed Ma-clean’s praise for the team-work of board volunteers and centre staff: “this team can pretty much pull off anything on a moment’s notice, and I’m humbled every day to see their passion and dedication to the centre.”

Recruiting for staff posi-tions affected by turnover

keeps Reid busy, and the centre has its eye on the recent Defence Renewal plan’s points on family support and the ongoing national governance review of MFRC structuring.

Financially, the Greenwood MFRC tightened the distance between break even and ex-cess revenue in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, $33,312 over budget; com-pared to $200,310 at year-end 2016. Fundraising was $500 shy of the $16,000 budgeted. “Unique offi ce supplies” ex-ceeded its $3,000 budget, coming in at $15,510. Just $250 was spent on person-nel assistance, compared to the $2,000 in the budget.

Professional fees were close to $12,000 under budget. Salaries totaled $969,601. There was no restitution paid through 2016/ 2017 on a theft of MFRC $403,340 dating to 2011 charges; the individual did pay back $173,149 in 2015/ 2016.

Fun By The NumbersHere’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you might be ready to take the next step on a project at work, but others aren’t in line just yet. Give them time to catch up to speed, encouraging them along the way.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You are not one to take “no” for an answer when you have made up your mind, Taurus. If that occurs this week, continue to stand your ground on an important issue.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Incomplete tasks will slow you down, Gemini. Before you take on any more projects, finish up ones that are thus far incomplete. Otherwise, you may fi nd it diffi cult to focus.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, even if your goals are set you must let others know of your intentions and how you plan to spend your time. This way they will know the general time frame.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, your leadership skills are top notch generally, and this week you won’t allow a little disorganization to throw you off your game. It’s only temporary.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Confl icted emotions are sending out mixed signals to everyone who crosses your path, Virgo. As long as you don’t let them get in the way of work, you should be fi ne.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, close friends may be just the medicine you need right now. Clear your schedule and prioritize catching up with friends in the days ahead. You will be glad you did.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, look to the future rather than spend time dwelling on the past. There is much to be excited by with regard to the future, so start planning now.SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sag i t t a r ius , focus on your immediate surroundings and what needs to get done right away. Let future plans take a back seat for the moment. You will get to them soon enough.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, your notion of success today may be different tomorrow. So maintain an open mind in all situations. New experiences may sway your opinion.AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18A new relationship is taking off, Aquarius. Allow things to unfold organically and make the most of opportunities to try new things outside of your comfort zone.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, others look to you for guidance and you do not disappoint. Make time for yourself and put some of your own advice to good use.

Aviator Arthur White

When I first realized I needed to do something for both my physical and mental wellbeing, I was 311 pounds, no longer very active and was only going through the motions with my unit PT - just do-ing the bare minimum that needed to be done. I was mentally exhausted all the time and very depressed.

I fi nally made the effort to help myself.

I knew I needed to make a physical change and a mental adjustment, as nothing in my life seemed to be going right. I came to the conclusion I needed to do everything I could to fi x both my weight prob-lem and my mental health situation, as they both affected each other and I did not think I could fi x one without the other.

I was diagnosed with

PTSD in 2013 and, during conversations with my mental health specialist, he thought going to the gym every day would help me deal with my anger and depression. I also needed to change my diet and eating habits. I started off by cutting out alcohol and pop all together, and I stopped eating out all the time - especially fast food. I started learning and fo-cusing on portion control, what times I should have meals and what type of meals.

Another big help for me was talking with Per-sonnel Support Program staff. I took a few Health Promotion courses with Lisa White, including Top Fuel for Top Perform-ance, Managing Angry Moments, suicide aware-ness and a few others. All shed light on some of the options available for me,

such as talking to PSP staff about fitness pro-grams and meal plans. I took that advice and talked to Josh Leddicote at the gym, who worked with me on the proper movements for muscle groups.

Yeah, sure, sometimes I slipped up and didn’t meet my goals. I pushed harder the next week and, after three long years, I now weigh in at 217 pounds and am in the best shape of my life.

The one thing I can say is you are not alone when it comes to dealing with mental health or weight loss. There are options out there for us: you just have to want to help yourself to start.

14 Wing Greenwood’s Health Promotion pro-gram asked Aviator White to chronicle his success story.

What worked for me

wood’s inception and the Brit-ish Commonwealth Air Training Plan. He lives and works in Arizona. Find Saulnier’s video at youtu.be/BmhxUlneooI.

Uhlman appropriated the research of Chris Larson and Russell Keddy on aircraft ac-cidents and incidents during the war years here at Base

Greenwood, and created an interactive, on-line map show-ing location, type of aircraft, aircrew members involved and nationalities. Uhlman is mu-seum society member Malcolm Uhlman’s son and lives and works in Bangor. Find Uhl-man’s map at arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.ht

Patrick stressed, because of these initiatives, the GMAM is not just a dust-collecting assortment of artefacts, but a growing collection of these types of projects, making the GMAM always changing and always vibrant.

From right to left are Luke Uhlman, Ian Patrick and George Saulnier. Although they live away, Uhlman and Saulnier contribute to the diversity of the museum and receive Appreciation Awards from Ian Patrick, Green-wood Military Aviation Museum Society chairman.
