Swing into spring
Greenwood golf course says
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
All the signs of spring are
visible at the Greenwood
Golf Club – the biggest being
the outdoor whiteboard that
says “Course open Thursday,
March 31!”, complete with a
smiley face.
“What we have here is an
enjoyable, scenic, challenging 18-hole golf course,”
says manager Karen Gorman, beyond happy to see
the course opening close to
seven weeks earlier than last
year. The grass is greening,
workers have been around
the course doing their spring
clean-up and the opportunities to golf have never been
more affordable. The club
is open to military members
and the general public: check

ca for great 2016 rates and
membership benefits.
Club vice-president Major
Paul Janes loves golf – he’s
been playing since he was a
kid, his kids have been a part
of Greenwood’s summer
junior program for the past
five years and he’s looking
forward to supporting the
recreational and sporting
benefits of golf into the new
season.
“We’re the link between
the course staff and the wing
commander, but also the
military members and their
families,” Janes says of the
club’s volunteer executive
role.
Janes’ top-three favourites
for the Greenwood course?
Course availability, the welldesigned par-72 layout; and
that it’s an excellent location
to have fun outside the office, whether with military
co-workers, family or community friends.
“It’s great recreation, the
course is pretty, with a river
running through it: it’s a

phenomenal resource. There
are very few places you can
tee off and see planes taking
off right above you.”
14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Pat Thauberger knows how valuable a
resource the course is to his
military personnel and their
families, but also the wider
community.
“It adds to the suite of
recreational facilities we have
for our people and our neighbours,” he said March 31, as
he took the opening swing
from Hole 1.
“I always have fun when
I’m out here. It’s an easy
pace, you can get out and be
social and meet people.”
Gorman is looking ahead
at a busy golfing season: the
course is now open daily,
from dawn to dusk. Her full

shop and the kitchen are
preparing for full operations.

Deal opens 14 Wing for civilian aviation
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
Private planes are now at
home at 14 Wing Greenwood.
March 29, the base formalized an agreement with the
Freedom Aviation Society and
the Municipality of the County
of Kings to allow civilian air
traffic to land on the military
runways and station at a designated airpark.
“This is a big day –
exciting,” said Wing
Commander Colonel Pat Thauberger.
“Maybe 10 or 15
years ago, civilians
flying into Greenwood stopped.
We used to have a
Greenwood Flying
Club, with private aircraft,
training and a flight school.
Now, this is a concurrence of
events and opportunities.”
The civilian aircraft arrive as
the municipality solidified its
own deal March 31 to sell the
Kings County Municipal Airport property in Cambridge to
Michelin. The tire builder has
said it needs the land around
its plant to be able to position
itself for future growth, as the
international company pits
individual factories in a bidding process for expansion
investments. The municipality
agreed to the sale, and has
spent over two years determining the airport operation’s
future.
Thauberger said the base
welcomes the civilian traffic,
as it allows military air traffic
control and airfield personnel
more opportunities to use their
skills, and become familiar
with “dissimilar aircraft’ arriving on a day-to-day basis.
Base staff – from Construction
Engineering, legal, finance, airfields and grounds, along with
advisors from multiple national
oversight entities, have been
working on seeing this project
proceed since 2014.
The base allowed civilian
aircraft to practice flyovers,
touch-and-go use of the runways and communications
with the control tower through
March.
“I came down on Saturday
and did a touch-and-go on
runway 2-6 – that must be the
best runway I’ve been on in 20

Aviation career, experience,
passion combine in museum volunteer
Dan Daigle has been a
member of the Greenwood
Military Aviation Museum
Society for six years. He
seems to be one of those rare
individuals who can do almost
anything well.
Daigle is project leader for
the current Bolingbroke aircraft restoration, and an avid
aviator. Besides his involvement with the Bolingbroke,
Daigle built the large Beaufighter model that hangs from
the ceiling at the entrance
to the museum, designed
and built the 404 Squadron
diorama back-drop, the large
stands to handle aircraft components during restoration,
the thermal oven for forming
aircraft windows and turrets
and multiple missing parts
for aircraft restorations; he
is involved in countless other
museum activities.
A Maritimer, Daigle hails
from New Brunswick and is
the son of a military father.
Although he wanted to be a
pilot, his eyesight failed to
meet requirements, so he
went on to spend almost 35
years in Canada’s air force as
an aircraft technician. His career began as a Reservist with
402 Squadron in Winnipeg,
working on Otter and Dakota
aircraft. When not at 402,
he was employed by Bristol
Aerospace, repairing CF101
Voodoo aircraft and, later,
with Boeing Aircraft of Canada
making composite material

with design and construction
of radio controlled aircraft
and, eventually, becoming a
private pilot. He joined the
Experimental Aircraft Association and built, flew and maintained his own home-built
aircraft. Daigle maintained
certified aircraft throughout
his life and, on one occasion,
did part-time work with a
company, as their sole aircraft
maintenance engineer, that
assembled, sold and maintained Czech-designed and
built small aircraft, including
ultralight aircraft engines; giving him even wider experience
and an opportunity to fly. This
experience later enabled him
to undertake the restoration of
an amphibious 1947 Republic
Seabee, owned by friends,
which won the aircraft type
best-in-show over 17 other
aircraft at the annual Experimental Aircraft convention in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Daigle was medically released in 2008 and, with his
wife, Shirley, chose to live in
Nova Scotia. He now shares
his love of aviation and his
wide experience with the

Are you ready to enhance your wellness?
Wellness is more than a concept; it’s a daily life experience
linking all aspects of health. The
Canadian Armed Forces Health
and Physical Fitness Strategy
promotes, a healthy lifestyle
and stresses one of the key
components towards achieving
the ultimate goal of maximizing
operational capability through a
healthy, “fit and resilient” force.
So how do you give your best?
You become your best.
There are lots of daily life
choices affecting your wellbeing, either at work or at
home, with your family and
friends. By making choices, one
step at a time, you can build
strength, energy and resilience.
Small daily choices can have a
big impact on improving your
life. According to Dr. Darrell Menard, a sport medicine
specialist with Strengthening
the Forces, “the fundamental
decision is choosing to take
care of yourself and everything
else in life will fall into place.”
The CAF Health and Wellness
Challenge is brought to you
by Strengthening the Forces
to help you build a healthier
lifestyle. By joining the challenge, you and your family take
concrete steps in increasing
vitality and overall health and
well-being.
Health is an everyday issue
and not exclusive to the medical
staff of a hospital or clinic. It’s
what you eat at the restaurant,
it’s how well you sleep, it’s the
evening walks you take, and
it’s the choice not to grab a
cigarette when stress “hits the
fan.” Every choice we make as
a part of daily life makes a big
difference to our overall health.
So how do you get started?
Join the CAF Health and Wellness Challenge and gather
checkmarks for participating
in daily activities. You’ll sample
life-enhancing activities based
on social wellness, addictionfree living, nutritional wellness
and active living. This challenge also helps you reflect
and take stock of your current
life-enriching activities. Positive lifestyle decisions always
start with one small choice – to
move forward, one step at a
time. Mobilize your health now!
The original Strengthening
the Forces vision was germinated way back in 1992 by
Captain (N) Climie, MD, who
believed enabling personnel
in making healthy choices and
taking control of their wellness
would lead to a stronger force.
It involves taking responsibility at both the individual level
and at the organizational level.
Both levels have to “walk the
talk.” This forward-thinking
approach took time to gather
momentum and set the stage
for healthy lifestyle as the “new
normal.” Now, the CAF has fully
integrated this concept into a
National Health and Physical
Fitness Strategy, getting you
energized with the CAF Health
and Wellness Challenge.
How to get challenged
Build a team of colleagues
and enjoy friendly rivalry between units. Strengthening
the Forces has lots of resources to show how easy it
can be to make simple healthy
daily choices. Your base/ wing
Health Promotion office will
happily introduce you to a
variety of workshops and other
resources.
The challenge runs from
May 1 to 3. Are you ready to
feel the difference? You can
register as early as April 1 and
get a warm-up with the printed
booklet and downloadable,
interactive PDF. By registering
for the dhallenge, you will have
access to health information,
healthy eating tips, updates
and many other “exclusive”
resources.

Challenge to survive
The 413 (Transport and
Rescue) Squadron Civil Air
Search and Rescue Association (CASARA) office conducted a three-day winter survival
training exercise in February,
with six members of CASARA
Newfoundland - Steve Corco-
ran, Minette LeDrew, Maurice
Murphy, John Smith, Tina
Smith and Larry Wall.
Warrant Officer Sean
MacEachern, assisted by Major Brian Myrah, guided the
CASARA volunteers through
all aspects of basic winter
survival. The Royal Canadian
Air Force model of survival
training has changed very
little over the years, with a
prioritized list of actions focused on first aid, fire, shelter
and signals.
Prior to bringing in the
students, instructor staff constructed a hasty shelter, a full
lean-to, a fire pit with reflector, a variety of ground-to-air
signals and snares. The volunteers were then brought in
to the various demonstration
sites and given a thorough
description of each.
The group was broken into
two teams, with the goal of establishing a functional survival
site for an overnight stay that
exposed members to -10 Celsius temperatures. Firewood
was salvaged from a local
white spruce coastal forest.
Maintaining a sustainable fire
proved extremely challenging
with the moisture-laden wood,
but determined survivors
overcame this challenge.
A highlight of the exercise
was to light a signal fire and
successfully attract a Cougar
Helicopter crew practicing a
search pattern nearby. The
signal fire was constructed
with a triangular frame covered in spruce boughs, with
a platform near the base of
the triangle supporting dry
twigs and progressively larger
combustibles, which would
encourage rapid fire growth.
When the boughs ignite, they
produce large quantities of
visible smoke.
All participants thoroughly
enjoyed this survival training
experience and intend to share
these newfound skills with
other CASARA members.
Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA)
Newfoundland volunteers
were coached through survival training in February,
led by 413 Squadron Major
Brian Myrah and Warrant
Officer Sean MacEachern. Shelter building and
signal fires topped the
challenge.

RCAF track athletes medal at Canadian Indoor Masters
The 2016 Canadian Masters Athletics Indoor Championships for track and field
were held March 19 and 20 in
Toronto. Four Royal Canadian
Air Force athletes competed in
distances ranging from 50 to
1,500 metres.
On the first day of competition, Chief Warrant Officer
Claude Faucher (M45), from
413 (Transport and Rescue)
Squadron, 14 Wing Greenwood; fared well, racing to
gold medals in both the 800
and 1,500 metre races. His
2:08.76 seconds in the 800
was a personal best as a
masters athlete. Despite having tired legs from the 800
metres the previous day,
he managed to hold off the
competition and secure the
win in the 1,500 title.
His brother, Major Serge
Faucher, from National Defence Headquarters Ottawa,
finished in second place in
Chief Warrant Officer Claude Faucher
Joe Salazar
the 200 metres, with a time
of 25.10 seconds, behind a
very powerful Christopher
Warburton, who set a new
Canadian record in the M50
age group category - 24.16
seconds. In the 400 metres,
Faucher finished first, lowering his own meet record to
55.95 seconds.
Two new masters athletes
from NDHQ Ottawa made their
track and field debut at this
meet. Warrant Officer Mario
Huard (M45) competed in the
50, 60 and 200 metre races,
winning a bronze medal in the
60 in 8.35 seconds. Aviator
Kelly Burton (W45) also ran
a strong 8.43 seconds in the
50 metres, despite suffering
a hamstring injury midway,
to finish in fourth place.
Most athletes can now turn
their attention to the 2016
outdoor season, which will
include trips to the USATF
Masters in Grand Rapids,
Michigan; the Ontario Masters and Canadian Masters
in Toronto and, finally, the
Americas Games in Vancouver later this summer.

Students from West Kings’ “Me to We” program gave a very interesting report
to the Kingston Lions Club March 7 regarding their recent trip to Ecuador.
Lions work, recognize
community connections
Pat Nixon,
Kingston Lions Club
January and February were
relatively quiet for Kingston
Lions, with the monthly community luncheons, variety
music shows and weekly
bingos. At the January 18
meeting, the club presented
certificates of appreciation to
Eric Pothier, store manager
of the Greenwood Sobeys,
and Lisha Dodsworth, branch
manager of the Greenwood
Scotia Bank, recognizing
them for outstanding support
to the Kingston Lions during
our ever popular Christmas
Eve breakfast this year.
Lions had the recent pleasure of receiving a verbal
report and slide show presentation from three students
from West Kings’ “Me to We”
program who had traveled
to Ecuador where, among
other volunteer initiates, they
helped provide fresh drinking
water to a village. Kingston
Lions had provided some
funding assistance for this endeavour. Way to go, girls! The
Kingston Lions are always
looking for ways to support
the youth of our community.
Kingston Lions have recently donated $1,000 to
Hearts on Ice, $1,000 to
the Lions Club International
Foundation, purchased Child
ID kits that will be distributed
in the near future to local
nursery schools/ day cares
and given a donation to the
Muscular Dystrophy Association. As well, a number of Lions participated in January’s
Literacy Week, going into
Kingston Elementary School
and reading books to some
Primary to Grade 5 classes.
Lions continue to support the
Kingston Elementary School
breakfast “Munch” program.
Many of you who visit the
Greenwood Mall recently will
have noticed the community bulletin board is now the
“Kingston Lions Community
Bulletin Board,” replete with
a sign indicating such. Many
thanks to the Greenwood
Mall for donating space for
the sign and supporting our
broader initiative to raise the
awareness of Lions in the
community.
Now, Lions begin to spool
up for another busy run to
the end of July. The Lions
hall hosted a Canadian Blood
Services donor clinic March
28 and 29. We hosted a fundraising dinner, “Dining in the
Dark,” for the CNIB March 31,
and will be hosting a Kingston
Scouts turkey dinner April 2
and a West Kings High School
Safe Grad dinner April 5.
This year sees the Kingston Lions Club in its 55th
year of serving the Kingston/
Greenwood area. April 16,
Lions will be celebrating this
achievement with the annual
Charter Night, taking time to
reflect on accomplishments,
recognize club members for
contributions to the club and
community and enjoy the
company and fellowship of
fellow members and visiting
Lions.
We are a busy club, and
we are always looking for
community-minded people
who want to help others. Give
us a call at 902-765-8011 or
talk to any Kingston Lion for
information on how you can
join the Kingston Lions.
