Op Sore Talons marches to success
Master Corporal
Anthony Spittachine,
405 (Long Range Patrol)
Squadron
While 14 Wing Greenwood
was kicking into high gear to
celebrate the 75th anniversary
of four 400-series squadrons
on the base, a team from 405
(Long Range Patrol) Squadron, the sole Royal Canadian
Air Force squadron designated
as a Pathfinder Squadron, was
finding new gears of its own at
the annual Pathfinder March in
the United Kingdom.
A 405 Squadron team of
10, including marchers and
support staff, took on the
challenge of marching the
arduous course to celebrate
not only the squadron’s 75th
anniversary, but also the 74th
anniversary of the creation of
the Second World War Pathfinder Force.
The Pathfinder Force of
squadrons included handselected aircrew that demonstrated exceptional navigation
abilities. This elite force was
tasked to lead bombing mis-
sions, marking targets and
guiding the waves upon waves
of bombers that followed - all
with the focus of increasing
the effectiveness of Bomber
Group.
In commemoration of the
Pathfinders, the annual Pathfinders March was created.
The march, hosted at RAF
Wyton, England, gives participants 20 hours to navigate a
74-kilometre (46-mile) course
through the countryside connecting all the now decommissioned airfields used by the
Pathfinder Force during the
Second World War.
After months of preparation and training, the 405
Squadron team departed June
14. Over the next five days,
representatives not only participated in the march, but
also reconnected with the
communities that housed, fed
and hosted 405 Pathfinders
during the war. The Royal Air
Force and the village of Great
Gransden, the site of the
airfield 405 Squadron used
during the war, were gracious
hosts. The people of Great

Gransden welcomed the team
into their homes for tea, took
members on a tour of the old
airfield, now a glider training
centre; and joined the team
in commemorating the lives
of the 801 members of 405
Squadron who made the ultimate sacrifice during the war.
That commemoration took
place in St. Bartholomew’s
Church, which houses a
stained glass window dedicated to the members of the
405 Squadron Pathfinders.
All this was rounded out with
a visit to a local pub members
of 405 used to frequent in
war years, The Crown and
Cushion.
The day of the march itself
proved mentally and physically challenging for the members of the aptly named “Op

Sore Talons” team. Starting
out at 4 a.m., spirits were high.
After the first stage, faces were
fresh and invigorated. By the
third stage, the enormity of the
challenge set in and the value
of having a search and rescue
technician, borrowed from
413 (Transport and Rescue)
Squadron, Master Corporal
Kevin Cochrane, on hand
to provide medical support
became blindingly clear. Fifty
kilometres in, the team remained determined, trudging
through the longest stage:
one the team affectionately
dubbed “The Soul Crusher.”
At the team’s darkest hour,
the bright and ever energetic
face of Padre Rory MacDonald
bounded into view to raise our
spirits with bagpipe music and
quirky anecdotes. His intercession at that moment got
the team over the hump (and
precluded him having to fulfill
the other duty he was brought
along for - last rights). Despite
the challenges presented, all
405 team members were able
to complete the march in the
required time, in good spirits
and with minimal injuries.
The following day, the team
took in the sights of London on
a walking tour, albeit a short
and very slow one. No sooner
had they finished reconnecting with the past in the United
Kingdom, the team was back
on the plane to Greenwood
and home, ready to celebrate
the squadron’s 75th anniversary with sister 14 Wing
squadrons, 404, 413 and 415.
The opportunity to experience
the squadron’s history in the
flesh was invaluable. Walking

runways of the airfields once

pumper
for food
bank drive
14 Wing Fire and Emergency Services is once again
organizing its annual “Pull
the Pumper” charity event
for July 8.
The series of timed, firefighting-based challenges
– hose carries, water relays,
and the infamous team pulling of a massive 14 Wing
airfield fire truck - will be held
in the CANEX parking lot (off
of Ward road in Greenwood)
between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
14 Wing and community
guest teams are invited to
take on the challenge. Contact
event organizer Sergeant
Brian Milligan to register
your team and then work on
collecting the “entry fee:” at
least 100 pounds of nonperishable food.
“The more teams the better, since that gives us more
food for the Kingston Upper
Room Food Bank,” Marchand
says.
There will be an opportunity to purchase tickets for
your chance to win prizes
donated by local businesses,
and spectators may enjoy
a BBQ at lunch. Spectators
are also welcome to bring
food bank donations to add
to the haul.
For information, and to register a team, contact Marchand, 14 Wing Fire Emergency
Services, at [email protected] or 902765-1494 local 5206.
Community coffee
June 22, 14 Construction Engineering Squadron hosted Mayor Don Downe, third from left, and members of the Municipality District of
Lunenburg council for an afternoon coffee break. Major Rick Leighton, second from left, gave an overview and update on the squadron and
the associated flights’ activities, as he prepares for his change of command ceremony. Downe spoke of the tremendous contribution the
squadron has made over the last 20 years, and said the community is looking forward to that strong relationship continuing for many years.

work set to wrap
before Steer BBQ
Its official: school is out,
summer is here - and road
work is in full swing.
A new curb and sidewalk
is being installed on Bridge
Street, from Windsor Street
to Highway 1. The road
crew’s normal work day is
from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and, if
necessary, longer to ensure
the project is completed by
July 8 – good news for Kingston Steer BBQ and Village
Fair organizers, as the village
gets set for its big weekend.
Additionally, residents living
on the side of the road where
the new sidewalk is being
installed will not be able to
use their driveways July 4 to
allow for pouring and curing
of the new concrete curb.
If at all possible, motorists
are advised to find an alternate route during construction. This will aid in the crew’s
ability to meet its deadline
and, at the same time, improve traffic flow. 14 Wing
Greenwood issued a traffic
advisory to its 2,200-member
workforce last week, advising
personnel of the traffic disruptions and to use alternate Work is underway for new curbs and sidewalks along Bridge Street in Kingston:

Miles and miles
Rousseau headed back to Nijmegen with Canadian spirit
Sergeant Brian Milligan,
The Aurora Newspaper
Corporal Julie Rousseau of
14 Wing is in the final training
and planning stages before
heading to the Netherlands
to participate in the 2016 Nijmegen march July 19 to 22.
Also known as The “Vierdaagse” (Dutch for “four
days”), Nijmegen is an annual walk that has taken place
since 1909, based at Nijmegen since 1916. Depending
on age group and category,
walkers have to walk 30,
40 or 50 kilometres each
day for four days. Originally
a military event with a few
civilians, it now is a mainly
civilian event. Numbers have
risen in recent years, with
over 40,000 people taking
part - including many serving
military personnel.
Rousseau completed her
first Nijmegen in March 2009.

“We did the four by 50
kilometres. We took our annual leave, paid our own way
and enjoyed the experience
from a different angle than in
uniform,” she says. “We met
some amazing new friends,
both civilian and military.”
Some may think Rousseau is “crazy” spending
leave and money to march,
but the challenges marching
presents, both physical and
psychological, are more than
compensated for with the
camaraderie and friendships
made along the way.
In 2014, she and her walking partner did Nijmegen with
an international team, mostly
friends from France they had
met in 2010. They walked
the 40-kilometre military
marches for four days, again
on their own time and covering their own expenses. In
2015, they did the Marche
de l’Armee in Luxembourg,
just two days of 40-kiloemtre
distances, “but the hills are
a killer!”
Rousseau would like to

57th Kingston Steer BBQ & Village Fair
The oldest continuous running steer BBQ in the world • Credit Union Centre grounds • 1490 Westwood Avenue, Kingston
‘Steer’ Kingston way for 57th village BBQ weekend
“Well now, you understand, somebody has to pay
for this steer?”
These words, uttered by
the late O.H. Armstrong 57
years ago, ushered in the beginning of the Kingston Steer
BBQ & Village Fair, now the
oldest continuous running
steer BBQ in North America.
Ten men from the Kingston
and District Board of Trade
each pledged $50 to cover
the cost of the steer, food
and all the fixins’ for that first
event, July 9, 1960 - but had
to overcome one major obstacle: no one had experience
in barbecuing a whole steer!
Enquiries were made far and
wide as to how to do this, but
replies covered steers cooked
in pits of live coals. No one
seemed to have experience
barbecuing a whole steer on a
spit. BBQ founders set about
to do it themselves, and learn
along the way.
That first steer BBQ was
a resounding success and,
from that day on, the event
has been a much anticipated
Valley weekend of familyfriendly fun.
Many events and activities
have been added, and some
have disappeared, but the
same strong sense of community spirit has remained
over the years. The essence
of the event - barbecuing a
whole steer - has remained
the same, with additional
beef roasts cooked instead
of barbecuing steaks and the
original brick BBQ replaced
by a large, all-metal BBQ
oven. For the past number
of years, a team of Kingston
Lions have been the “keepers of the beef,” entrusted
with the 18-hour, overnight
cooking process. For the last
18 years, the steer has been
generously provided by Frasers Pro Home Centre.
This year’s events begin
Friday afternoon, July 8, as

the steer is spitted, wrapped
and coated with spices, a
process that usually attracts a crowd of interested
bystanders. Then, using a
tractor with fork lift tongs,
the steer is placed into the
cooking oven and the slow
barbecuing process begins.
The tender and juicy steer
is ready to be served by
noon Saturday as a beef
plate meal and “burger bits,”
finely chopped barbecue beef
placed on a bun with gravy.
The Kingston Steer BBQ
& Village Fair is jointly organized by the Village of Kings-
ton, the Kingston Lions and
Branch 098 Kingston Legion.
Superb co-operation, teamwork, dedication and pure
hard work put in by these
pillar community organizations have been instrumental
in the success of the event
year after year. Each year,
chairmanship of the event
rotates between the three
organizations, and all funds
raised are shared, and go
toward supporting each organization’s activities in the
community.
Beyond the steer itself, a
range of activities take place
over the weekend. Friday
evening, the popular Sparky
five-kilometre fun run, organized by the Kingston Fire
Department, will be followed
by food and entertainment.
Saturday morning, the fire
department hosts a family
pancake breakfast, and the
street parade starts at 10:45
a.m. On the grounds of the
Credit Union Centre, a craft
fair, children’s activities, live
stage entertainment and a
beer garden round out the
day. The Legion hosts the
closing adult dance Saturday
night.
Returning this year is a
strongman challenge, this
year taking place Saturday,
July 9 between 1 p.m. and
4 p.m.
Back again is the running
of the Millville Community
Hall Motorcycle Photo Hunt,
July 9. The starting point
will be at the Westwood
Street gazebo, across from
the arena in Kingston. Once
you’re registered (registration starts at noon), with
digital camera in hand, head
out on the route to find a
list of scavenger hunt items
between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
There are a number of prizes
up for grabs.
A community event of this
magnitude cannot be held
without the support of both
the community and the businesses in the area, for which
organizers are thankful. The
fact the event has grown and
remained strong these past
56 years is indicative of the
strong sense of community
and pride of the people in
Kingston and surrounding
areas.
Please visit www.kingstonnovascotia.ca/steerbbq.htm

are a go, rain or shine, with
contingency plans in place
in the event of inclement
weather.

Top Atlantic Canada’s strongmen return for record-breaking challenges
An impressive list of
some of the strongest men
in Atlantic Canada will be
competing in Kingston as
part of the 57th Kingston
Steer BBQ and Village Fair.
Kentville strongman
Grant Connors, a multiwinning Atlantic Canadian
champion, is organizing

“This year, we will be
conducting what is called
a ‘record breakers’ competition. Athletes will be
given the chance to break
Atlantic Canadian, as well
as Canadian, strongmen
records. The events will
be heavy and fast: competitors will be lifting a car,
1530 Bridge St., Kingston
flipping a 1,000-pound tire
and walking a course with
as much as 1,000 pounds
in hand. It is expected that
some of the top strongmen
in Atlantic Canada will be
participating, with their
eyes on breaking some
records.”
The challenges will be
held on the grounds of the
Kingston arena Saturday,
July 9, between 1 p.m. and

Health in hand
Individual attention on wellness adds up
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
It doesn’t take much for
Lieutenant-Commander Ajiri
Ikede to feel a little less important: 14 Wing Greenwood’s
wing surgeon - trained in
aerospace medicine, public
health education and promotion; and a five-time Canadian Armed Forces national
basketball team member
- knows he really only makes
a difference in about 10 per
cent of an individual’s health
success.
“The minimal role of clinical care is eye-opening,” he
says. “The biggest impact
on health are social and economic factors, and health behaviours. That reinforces my
view that I am a consultant.”
Ikede was the guest speaker at the June 3 Fitness,
Sports and Health Promo-
tion Breakfast, hosted by the
base’s Personnel Support
Program’s Health Promotion
and the Fitness and Sports
programs to acknowledge
2015 successes. With an
increasing emphasis on the
importance of overall health
and wellness in the Canadian
Armed Forces’ FORCE fitness
testing, Ikede stressed the
differences between what
medicine and medical experts
can do, and what individuals
can do for themselves.
“Do you need a blood pressure pill or a 10 per cent
weight loss – with no side
effects, and overall improved
health. If it were up to me,
that would be my first prescription – and I’ve done
that. Do you have arthritis?
That’s pressure from extra
weight affecting your joints.
Challenges with blood sugar
and cholesterol? Eating and
exercise can effect change.
Depression or anxiety? Runners’ highs are proven to
release the same chemicals
a pill would.”
Ikede added the side effects of healthy eating and
exercise: sleeping better, a
better mood and frame of
mind, more stable emotions.
“Sometimes that shift
works faster than an Atavan.
You can choose to look at
things in a different perspective.”
In the past year, Ikede
and the 26 Canadian Forces
Health Services team, along
with Health Promotion and
Mental Health, changed its
own perspective.
“We started looking at people who could use a ‘gentle
nudge,’” he said. “Who could
benefit from a class in healthy
eating, wellness, stress or
smoking cessation? We have
access to all of that support
in the military, and we’ve
since seen individuals with
everything from a three- to
a 30-pound weight loss, a
reduction in blood pressure,
decreased measures in neck
and waist circumferences.
That’s due to the 30 per cent
of the ‘pie” these people have
had control over, and they’ve
made a difference – whether
they’ve done all of it or some
of it.”
Lieutenant-Commander
Ajiri Ikede, the 14 Wing
Greenwood surgeon, prefers to support an individual’s health through prevention and promotion:
areas where non-medical
interventions can often
add up to improved overall
wellness.

Health, fitness build military effectiveness
The 14 Wing Greenwood
sports program through 2015
had a number of regional,
national and international
highlights. The 2015 women’s
slopitch team won the Atlantic
Regional title, and earned
a silver medal at the Canadian Armed Forces championships. Three athletes
competed with the Canadian
contingent in CISM sports:
Captain Stacey Cusan, soc-
cer; Captain Serena Palmer,
swimming and lifesaving; and
Sergeant Carey Boozan, golf.
At the annual awards breakfast, Fitness & Sports recognized Sergeant Brian Jackson
as official of the year for his
work with the base hockey
program, Captain Caitie Class
as female athlete of the year
(slopitch, soccer, hockey),
Chief Warrant Officer Claude
Faucher as male athlete of the
year (running, track and field),
Aviator Arthur White as volunteer of the year (Construction
Engineering unit sports rep,
and manager/ player with the
wing’s volleyball, basketball
and powerlifting teams), and
the women’s slopitch team as
base team of the year and the
recipient of an Air Command
Award as team of the year.
Health Promotion registered 215 defence team
members in a range of its
programs, including 38 people trained in mental health
awareness and suicide prevention.
A network of unit Health
Promotion and sports coordinators ensure programs,
classes, intersection sports
and base teams are promoted
around the base; many individuals also contribute to
the wing’s overall health and
wellness success as coaches,
officials and managers – on
base teams, but also through
community recreation programs.
14 Wing Greenwood Colonel Pat Thauberger said all
of that adds up to a different
message than what the CAF
promoted perhaps 10 or 20
years ago: “Now, wellness
and fitness are the same
thing.
“That’s a positive evolution of how we look at health,
and it has an effect on our
operational effectiveness. We
can do more and rely on our
people more when they have
a positive outlook and better
team cohesion. That comes
through working together,
being fit and healthy together
at the gym and in the community: it makes the team at
14 Wing what it is.”

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, there is much you want
others to know about you this week,
but you’re not ready to share all
of the details just yet. Continue to
bide your time, sharing only when
it feels right.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
There’s not much you can do to
change a current situation, Taurus.
Step away for a bit and let the pieces
fall where they may. Then you can
develop a strategy.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
You have a new goal this week,
Gemini, but others are not as
receptive to your ideas as you
hoped they would be. You may need
to fine tune things. Be persistent.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, resolve to make the most of
this week even if it seems difficult to
do so. Seek support from friends or
family members willing to lend an
ear or a helping hand.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, take a few moments to recharge
this week. You have been going at
a breakneck pace for too long, and
now it’s time to slow things down.
Use some vacation time if you can.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, others are routinely drawn to
your unique personality. Make the
most of others’ warm reception and
do your best to return the favour
whenever you can.
Fun By The Numbers
Here’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 fill each row, column and box. Each
number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You
can figure 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!

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, if you want to get things
accomplished this week, you may
have to do them yourself. Going it
alone may require a lot of work, but
you are up to the challenge.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, your magnetism can draw
others to you like a moth to a flame,
and that has helped you establish
lasting friendships and build strong
relationships. Cherish your good
fortune.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, your super sense of
humour is on full display this week,
when you have an opportunity to be
the life of a party. Spend as much
time in the limelight as you can.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, so much is going on that
the week seems like it may stretch
on forever. Just take things one
day at a time and enjoy your full
schedule while it lasts.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Take some time for yourself this
week, Aquarius. You have earned
a little R&R, and now is the perfect
time to prioritize some fun and
excitement.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, channel your creative
energy into a special project. Invite
others to join in the project and
let things go where your creativity
takes you.

Environmental challenges build awareness
June 5 through 11, 14
Wing Greenwood personnel
were encouraged to take
in Environment Week challenges that tied in with June
is Recreation month activities, organized by 14 Wing
Greenwood’s Community
Recreation Program.
Wing Environment organized an alternative transport
initiative, asking base workers
to cycle to their workspaces
and send a daily email to enter
prize draws, but also add to a
growing pile of information
– how far did they commute,
for example, and what kind
of greenhouse gases did they
save?
Winners of alternative
transportation prizes included
Corporal Steve Wilson (canoe
rental, sponsored by PSP
Fitness & Sports), Master
Warrant Officer Ian Wallace
(golf passes, sponsored by
the Greenwood Golf Club),
Captain Brad Joyce (a bicycle,
sponsored by Community
Recreation); and daily winners for T-shirts, sponsored
by Community Recreation,
included Corporal Vincent
de Boer, Captain Brad Joyce,
Captain Brad Joyce, Master
Warrant Officer Ian Wallace
and Sergeant Ken Riles.
Wing Environment also
set out three geocache sites,
highlighting wise water use,
the local wood turtle population and the three Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle. By
sending in his comments on
the geocaches, Corporal Kevin Conrick won a composter,
mini compost bin and coffee
Coordinates

mug from the contest sponsor, Valley Waste Resource
Management.
Alan Ng, Wing Environment
technologist, gathered some
of the online feedback from
the geocaching hunters: “I
enjoyed it very much and
it was a fun time and great
exercise;” “Thanks so much
to the Environment Office for
organizing this activity:” “A
nice trail that I didn’t know
was here;” “I work in the
building nearby! Thanks for
making things more interesting;” and “AWESOME FUN!!!”
The three geocaching sites
will be maintained throughout
the summer and into the fall.

Behind the uniform: Pat Nixon
Sergeant Brian Milligan,
An aviation technician for
35 years, Warrant Officer Pat
Nixon has served in the Regular Force in Greenwood, St.
Jean, Cold Lake, Edmonton
and is back again in Greenwood, where he currently is
a Reserve Force member at
404 (Long Range Patrol and
Training) Squadron. No matter where Nixon has lived, he
has always been committed
to making the community a
better place.
Looking back as far as
1990, Nixon first “served” in
the Greenwood community
as the president of both the
Dwight Ross and RC Gordon
parent/ teacher associations,
he was a member of the
Greenwood village recreation committee and also
assisted with the children’s
reading program in Green-
wood schools. Posted to Edmonton, Nixon was a board
member of the Edmonton
Down Syndrome Society and
was responsible for starting
a dance therapy program for
special needs children.
He returned to Greenwood
in 2006 and continued to
embed himself in the community. Since his return, he
has served as president of
the West Kings High School
parent/ teacher/ student
association, has filled the
role of scorekeeper, coach,
organizer and mentor for
numerous Special Olympic
bowling teams and leagues;
is the vice-president of the
Community Living Alternatives Society, and has just
completed a term as the first
vice-chairman of the Kingston Lions Club: he assumed
the role of King Lion July 1.
As you can see, there is
a lot going on behind Pat
Nixon’s uniform, and it is
people like him that make
communities work - and
worthwhile to live in. He
is a proud member of the
Canadian Armed Forces and,
equally as important, a member of our community.
Warrant Officer Pat Nixon, the newest King Lion
at the Kingston Lions
Club.
