RCAF heritage marks
75-year milestones in June
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
A lot has changed, but a lot
has stayed the same.
The 75-year heritage – and
future - of four Royal Canadian Air Force Squadrons will
be showcased at a June gathering at 14 Wing Greenwood,
Nova Scotia; along with 50
years’ worth of VP International history. Organizers
expect up to 600 guests to attend anniversary events over
the week, all highlighting the
strong relationships within
the Canadian aviation community, and with international
partners.

during the Second World
War.
“These squadrons were
stood up, populated with air
crew, ground staff, support
personnel – everything that
goes along with establishing
an air force,” says organizing committee chairman
Lieutenant-Colonel Richard
Hone, 14 Wing Operations
officer. “What’s interesting
is today’s connection to the
past – we still have a lot of
linkages with nations who
were our Allies in the 1940s;
and also with those who were
in the Axis then.
“That these squadrons sur-
vive today, 75 years later – it
depended on their role, their
location, the need for their
operations and government
direction.”
For example, 413 Squadron “has flown just about
every major aircraft type”
over its history, says Wing
Heritage Officer Major Richard LeBlanc, and its primary
role today is search and rescue on Canada’s East coast.
“It’s important to know
who we are, and where we
came from, so today’s RCAF
members know what they’re
part of.”

three of the four squadrons’ past
would be Argus-era folks, who remain keen on their RCAF experience
as members of VP International. As
part of the squadron’s anniversary,
VPI will mark its 50th anniversary
and commemorative service at the
international headquarters and
memorial at 14 Wing. Twenty-three
nations with VPI affiliations are
invited to participate.
“It’s a chance to reconnect and
meet with old friends and talk about
our history and heritage,” Hone
says. “And it goes the other way:
with today’s personnel talking about
the challenges that go along with
the advances in today’s technology,
the new overland mission, the integration of the flood of information
available in today’s aircraft and the
analysis and communications required to turn it into a tactical plan.”
It is easy to point to the pressures
and challenges in the generations
of aviation heritage encompassed
over the past 75 years, and see how
they evolve: 413 Squadron can be
out the door on a search and rescue
mission within 30 minutes of a call,
and the danger is just as real as
bombing runs over Second World
War Europe or surveillance flights
over Afghanistan or Iraq today.
“We’re all part of the Air Force,
all working in support of Canada –
and that continues today,” LeBlanc
says. “Folks take great pride in that,
and the tradition continues.”
14 Wing Greenwood Commander
Colonel Pat Thauberger has several
hats to don at this June gathering:
officer in command of the hosting
14 Wing Greenwood facilities, a
past commander of 404 Squadron
and patron of the VP International
association, in addition to having
been a crew member on 405, 404

Cours de sensibilisation à la sûreté
radiologique offert en ligne
Il existe plusieurs idées
fausses au sujet du rayonnement ionisant et la
sûreté nucléaire au sein du
ministère de la Défense nationale et de la communauté
des Forces armées canadiennes et le grand public.
Les événements entourant
l’accident à la centrale nucléaire Fukushima au Japon
surligne le malentendu gé-
néral de la société au sujet
de l’impact d’une exposition
potentielle au rayonnement
ionisant.
Afin d’aider le personnel du MDN et de la FC
à comprendre les risques
associés à l’exposition aux
rayonnements ionisants, le
directeur de la sécurité nucléaire a publié un cours de
sensibilisation en ligne sur la
sûreté radiologique (RSA),
cours de sensibilisation de
base des rayonnements ionisants, introduisant les types
de pratiques du MDN et de
la FC qui utilisent les rayonnements ionisants. Ce cours
explique le rôle des officiers
de la radioprotection du
ministère pour aider à gérer
l’ensemble du programme de
sureté nucléaire.
Le cours de sensibilisation à la sûreté radiologique
(RSA) est accessible par l’entremise du Réseau d’apprentissage de la Défense et est
ouvert à tous les membres
du MDN et au personnel
de la FC (vous aurez besoin d’environ une à deux
heures pour le compléter).
Si vous avez des questions
ou des préoccupations en
ce qui concerne la sureté
radiologique, veuillez communiquer avec votre bureau
de l’officier de la radioprotection ou le responsable
de la radioprotection de

Online course offers radiation
safety awareness
Several misconceptions
exist about ionizing radiation
and nuclear safety within
the Department of National
Defence and Canadian Armed
Forces community, and the
general public. Events surrounding the Fukushima
nuclear power plant accident
in Japan highlight society’s
general misunderstanding
of the impact of potential exposure to ionizing radiation.
To assist DND and CAF
personnel in understanding
the risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation,
Director Nuclear Safety has
released an online Radiation
Safety Awareness (RSA)
course to generate basic
awareness of ionizing radiation, introduce the types of
practices in DND and the
CAF that use ionizing radiation and explain the role of
departmental radiation safety
officers in helping to manage
the overall nuclear safety
program.
The RSA course is accessible via the Defence Learning
Network and is open to all
DND and CAF personnel (it
takes about one to two hours
to complete). If you have any
questions or concerns with
regards to radiation safety,

safety officer or Wing Radia-
tion Safety Officer Sergeant

African Heritage Month celebrates
No. 2 Construction Battalion
Nova Scotia’s No. 2 Construction Battalion, the only
predominantly African-Canadian battalion since Confederation, is this year’s centrepiece
for African Heritage Month.
Lieutenant-Governor J.J.
Grant, Premier Stephen McNeil and African Nova Scotian
Affairs Minister Tony Ince
joined guests from across the
province at Province House
January 27 to launch African
Heritage Month 2016 in Nova
Scotia. The theme is No. 2
Construction Battalion: the
Legacy of Commitment - They
Fought to Fight.
The No. 2 Construction Battalion, also known as the Black
Battalion, was created after the
British Empire renewed its call
for soldiers during the First
World War. A separate battalion was the military’s response
to black men who wanted to
enlist, but were turned away
from recruiting offices.
“Despite the great prejudice
that they faced, the brave men
of the No. 2 Construction Battalion voluntarily stepped up
to fight for king and country,”
said Grant. “Their courage and
legacy continue to inspire 100
years later, and it is vital that
all Nova Scotians know this
history.”
“African Heritage Month is a
celebration of culture, history,
longevity and progress,” said
McNeil. “This year’s theme of
overcoming adversity to participate in the broader society
resonates in all communities,
but African Nova Scotians
know it well.”
The battalion formed July
5, 1916 in Pictou. Most of the
more than 600 men accepted
came from Nova Scotia, but
others came from New Brunswick, Ontario, the West, the
United States and the Caribbean.
Nova Scotia Public Archives
“We are proud to help promote and preserve the legacy
of the battalion,” said Russell
Grosse, executive director
of the Black Cultural Centre
of Nova Scotia. “They are a
symbol of commitment in the
face of adversity for all Nova
Scotians.”
More information on African
Heritage Month and a calendar
of events can be found on the
African Nova Scotian Affairs
website, ansa.novascotia.ca;

Happy February, everyone!

SAD is a type of depression
that typically occurs each

Light therapy boxes can offer
effective treatment for SAD.
Some new books for February include “The Restitution,” the third book in the
Legacy of the King’s Pirates
series by M.L. Tyndall. Lady
Isabel Ashton, scorned by
society after the birth of
her illegitimate child, longs
to regain wealth and position - despite Christ’s call on

kidnapped, she’s forced to
seek the aid of the man who
pirated her purity. How far
will Isabel go to save her child
and redeem her honour? Also

The Scorch Trials and The

14 Wing Library’s Adult
Book Club is held each
month. The next meeting is
February 29. This month’s
book selection is “The Book
of Negroes,” by Lawrence
Hill. Kidnapped as a child
from Africa, Aminata Diallo
is enslaved in South Carolina, but escapes during the
chaos of the Revolutionary
War. In Manhattan, she becomes a scribe for the British, recording the names of
blacks who have served the
King and earned freedom in
Nova Scotia. But hardship
and prejudice there prompt
her to follow her heart back
to Africa, then on to London,
where she bears witness to
the injustices of slavery. It
is a story no listener - and
no reader - will ever forget.
The reading group guide is
included.
“Under The Story Tree”
takes place every Tuesday
from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
in the library. It’s a great time
to bring your youngsters to
listen to stories, sing songs
and make crafts.
Family Literacy Day January 25 was a huge success.
We would like to thank everyone that came out to enjoy stories and sing songs.

Winter Carnival fun and
games – ‘80s style!
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
What’s not to like about classic ‘80s movies? Especially
combined with all the fun and
competition that makes up 14
Wing Greenwood’s annual Winter Carnival?
The base’s various branches
and squadrons have formed their
teams and picked their “mascot”
movie in preparation for the
much-anticipated Icecapades, ice
painting challenge, lip sync and
hockey and curling tournaments.
Be ready for leg warmers, cool
sunglasses, big hair and neon
colours, as teams take to ice,
stage, pool and games tables.
The Pep Rally was held February 19 at the Annapolis Mess to
tee things up, and Winter Carnival’s main activities get underway
February 22 with the opening
hockey and curling games. February 25, make sure you catch
the finals of both tournaments.
February 26 is a full day of fun,
starting with sports and games
at the Fitness & Sports Centre,
including the Wing Commander’s
Revenge pool challenge. Take
time for lunch with a food truck
parked just outside, and then
head off for the Amazing Race
base-wide contest. Move indoors
to the Annapolis Mess – and stay:
it’s a Monster TGIF, the beard
growing contest judging, the lip
sync and closing ceremonies,
followed by a band.
Saturday is family day – starting with breakfast at the Mess,
movies at the Zedex Theatre,
bowling and skating.
“This year, we’re aiming to
capture those people who think,
‘Oh, Winter Carnival – been there,
done that!,’” says co-chairman
Central Stations
Lieutenant Andrew MacNeil.
With a committed team of
volunteers from around the wing,
working for several months on
the planning, this Winter Carnival
has a solid schedule, and something for everyone, MacNeil says.
“The committee worked hard,
they were enthusiastic and we
were underway with the planning
early. All our goals were met.”
Sponsorship from the community has been strong, meaning
Winter Carnival bracelet holders
have a chance at $6,500 in prizes:
there are three main raffle prizes
– a $2,500 travel voucher, a
$1,500 snowblower and a $1,000
smart TV; and there are door
prizes to be drawn at every event.
The $10 carnival all-access
bracelets are available at all wing
orderly rooms. Bracelet owners
have free entry to all events,
are automatically entered in the
three main prize draws and have
a chance at door prizes at every
event they attend. Bracelets are
available for all defence team
members and spouses.
MacNeil himself is looking
forward to the Friday night main
events at the Mess.
“I like the lip sync and the party
– it’s a good time,” he says. “Last
year, it was on two nights. This
year, it’s bigger and better – in
one night. We have two stages
lined up so, as the lip sync and
closing awards are happening,
the band (Shaydid, from Halifax)
will be gearing up and ready
to start on the second stage.
It’ll keep that hype and level of
enthusiasm going all evening.”

Carnaval d’hiver – jeux et
activités sous le thème des
années 1980
Sara Keddy
Rédactrice en chef
Qui n’aime pas les films classiques
des années 1980? Surtout lorsqu’ils
sont combinés à l’aspect agréable et
compétitif du carnaval d’hiver annuel de
la 14e Escadre Greenwood!
Les divers escadrons et divisions de
la base ont formé des équipes et ont
choisi leur film mascotte en vue des
activités très attendues, comme les Ice
Capades, le défi de peinture sur glace,
le concours de surjeu et les tournois de
curling et de hockey. Jambières, lunettes
de soleil, cheveux longs et néons seront
à la mode sur la glace, la scène, et les
tables de billard et de jeux.
Le ralliement de motivation a eu
lieu le 19 février, au mess Annapolis,
pour lancer le carnaval et les activités
principales commenceront le 22 février
avec les jeux de hockey et de curling
d’ouverture. Le 25 février, assurez-vous
d’assister aux finales des deux tournois.
Le 26 février sera une journée bien
remplie de plaisir, commençant avec
sports et jeux, y compris le défi de billard de revanche du commandant de
l’escadre, au Centre de conditionnement
physique et de sports. Prenez le temps
pour dîner à la cantine ambulante située
à l’extérieur et allez ensuite assister à la
course Amazing Race de l’ensemble de
la base. Rentrez à l’intérieur au mess Annapolis et restez pour la soirée monstre
« Dieu merci c’est vendredi » : décision
du jury de concours de barbes, concours
de surjeu et cérémonie de clôture, suivie
d’un spectacle de musique.
Samedi est la journée familiale – petit
déjeuner au mess, films au cinéma Zedex, quilles et patinage.
« Cette année, nous visons à surprendre les gens qui pensent ‘Oh, un carnaval
d’hiver, c’est du déjà vu,’ explique le
coprésident lieutenant Andrew MacNeil.
Grâce à notre équipe de bénévoles
dévoués de l’ensemble de l’Escadre
qui a travaillé à la planification depuis
plusieurs mois, ce carnaval d’hiver a un
calendrier solide. Il y en a pour tous les
goûts, dit le lieutenant MacNeil. »
« Les membres du comité ont travaillé
fort, ont fait preuve d’enthousiasme et
ont commencé la planification tôt. Nous
avons atteint nos objectifs. »
Le parrainage de la collectivité a
été excellent; les personnes ayant un
bracelet du carnaval d’hiver courent la
chance de gagner des prix d’une valeur
de 6 500 $. Il y a trois prix de tirage
principaux : un certificat de voyage d’une
valeur de 2 500 $, une souffleuse d’une
valeur de 1 500 $ et une télévision intelligente d’une valeur de 1 000 $. De plus,
il y aura un tirage de prix de présence à
chaque activité.
Les bracelets d’accès de 10 $ du carnaval sont vendus à toutes les salles des
rapports de l’Escadre. Les détenteurs
d’un bracelet auront l’entrée gratuite à
toutes les activités, seront automatiquement admis au tirage au sort des trois
prix principaux et courront la chance de
gagner des prix de présence à chaque
activité à laquelle ils assistent. Les
bracelets seront vendus aux membres de
l’équipe de la défense et à leur conjoint.
Le lieutenant MacNeil a hâte aux activités principales de vendredi soir, qui
auront lieu au mess.
« J’aime le concours de surjeu et la
fête, c’est beaucoup de plaisir, affirmet-il. L’année dernière, c’était sur deux
soirs. Cette année, ce sera encore plus
fantastique – tout-en-un soir. Nous
avons deux scènes, alors au fur et à
mesure que le concours de surjeu et
la cérémonie de clôture ont lieu, la
troupe (Shaydid, d’Halifax) se préparera
pour jouer sur la deuxième scène. Cela
permettra de maintenir le même niveau
d’enthousiasme toute la soirée. »

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!

The West Kings District
High School drama program,

Jessome and David O’Leary,
presents Stephen Sondheim
and Leonard Bernstein’s classic, “West Side Story,” March

September to produce an
entertaining and well put
together show for the public.
West Side Story is a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”
The classic story focuses
on main characters Maria
and Tony, who are deeply in
love. However, their feuding
families keep them from being together which eventually
leads to a tragic ending. The
main cast includes Hannah
