A lot happens in a year.
Whether your 2015 was
a great year or a turkey (see
picture above), hanging up
a brand new calendar offers
a chance for optimism and a
fresh start.
In this issue, The Courier
takes a look back over the past
E3435420
$419,900
year. Operations, military and
family life, and community
involvement are recalled in
our brief excerpts of the year’s
events.
It was a pleasure to cover
the historic moments – the
return of 409 Squadron and
support
personnel
from
Kuwait, the deployment of
401 Squadron later in the
E4001761
99.5 Acres $649,900
E3419728
year – and the annual events as
well. The 4 Wing Community
Run, Family Days and Snow
Fest provided lots of story and
photo opportunities.
One of our favourite
stories was submitted to us just
last month: kind-hearted WFE
techs rescuing a duck that was
frozen to the concrete edge of a
drainage ditch.
We’re looking forward to
another busy year, including
a Maple Flag exercise and
the upcoming Cold Lake
Air Show.
But the aircraft aren’t the
only birds we’ll be watching.
We’ll always have space in
our pages for stuck ducks
and, of course, the occasional
turkey.

Tuesday, January 5, 2016
Like a lot of you, I
took a good look in the
mirror over the holidays
and I came to some stark
realizations. I’m out of
shape. I’m disorganized,
untidy
and
absentminded. I procrastinate.
I’m not really hip to the
Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People.
I formed a resolution
right then and there.
Keep up the good
work.
It’s not that I
recommend sloth and
indolence,
dissipation
and lassitude. On the
other hand, what the
heck. Continuous gradual
improvement is the key,
after all. Baby steps.
Whatever I do, I usually
try to do a little better
each time.
Sometimes, though,
there’s such a thing as
good enough. With that
comes the realization
that I’m not destined for
greatness. I’m fine with
that. I’m content with
who I am, and almost
embarrassed by all I
have.
Besides, I have a lot
of good qualities too.
Modesty and limited
space prevent me from
listing them here.
So while I’m open
to good ideas, I’m not
big on New Year’s
resolutions. My ambition
is to do better, not to
chase perfection, and
certainly not to compete
with anyone else. I’m
pleased with my good
habits, and comfortable
with my few bad ones.
For
those
with
concrete goals – to lose
weight, or quit smoking
– I wish you all the best.
And if you are among
those ambitious types
who are driven to reach
for the heights, good luck
to you.
And to my confreres
who live well and love
well, who enjoy life, who
put in an honest effort
and strive to do a little
better each day: keep up
the good work.
Happy New Year!

The Canadian Forces
Snowbirds received the
2015 Platinum Pinnacle
Award for excellence in
the air show business in
the military performer’s
category. The award
was presented to 431 Air
Demonstration Squadron
during
the
2015
International
Council
of Air Shows (ICAS)
luncheon in Las Vegas on
December 8th.
The
Pinnacle
Awards recognize the
ideas and professional
execution
that
are
essential
for
the
continuous improvement
and sustainability of
the air show industry.
The awards fall into
seven categories that
reflect professionalism,
innovation, and overall
excellence
in
air
show operations and
management.
“It was very exciting
having
the
hard
work of the pilots
and
maintainers
acknowledged by ICAS,”
said LCol Brad Wintrup,
Commanding
Officer
of 431 Squadron. “This
project
successfully
showcased
the
skill,
professionalism
and
teamwork of the men
and women of the Royal
Canadian Air Force to
audiences across North
America.”
The Snowbirds won
the award as a result
of their work with the
TankCam, a modified
smoke tank mounted on
the belly of the Team
Lead’s aircraft. The tank
has 3 high performance
cameras able to capture
stunning
video
and
imagery of the entire
formation in flight.
The effects of the
TankCam went beyond
capturing
imagery
of the formation. Air
show spectators and
fans of the Snowbirds
enjoyed imagery of their
hometowns, as seen from
the formation, posted
to social media. The
Snowbirds
training
program also benefited
from the TankCam as a
debriefing tool, allowing
for a safer and more
proficient show team.

Q
HOME INSPECTION
We are leaving for holidays this winter and we
are wondering how low we should set our furnace
thermostat? Hoping to save money by doing this.
A
Setting a thermostat back for reduced temperature in the home
can save on heating costs. Here are some considerations before
doing so:
Typical rule of thumb: 10° to 15°F set back for 8 hours, you can save
5% to 15% a year on your energy costs.
How long you are away will dictate whether it’s feasible to reduce
the temperature by just a few degrees or more. Factor in the outside
temperature and possible risk of plumbing freezing if near an outside
wall. Plumbing in basement rim joist areas are bad for this.
Open all cabinets with plumbing in them and ensure no plumbing is
within an outside wall before deciding to set the thermostat back to
a lower temperature. Insurance companies typically want someone
to check on a vacant home to verify that the heating system is still in
operation.
PETS
Q
One-A-Day for Fido, too?
A
Outdoor pets use a few more calories in the cold weather
months to maintain their body temperatures. A pet,
nursing its young, may need even more nutritional help at this
time of year. “Right now is a good time to evaluate your pets’
nutritional needs, and maybe add a vitamin supplement to their
diets,” said a local Petland pet counselor. “Vitamins for pets,
especially those not receiving a balanced food intake, can aid
in the development of bones and muscles, as well as prevent
skin disorders and other illness resulting from nutritional
deficiencies.”

Starting Off on the Right Foot
Derek Coe,
Health Promotion
Manager
Happy New Year
everyone!
Now
that
2016 is here, you may
be looking to start the
year off on the right foot
and make some positive
health changes. If so, I
have some information
to lead you in the right
direction. This week, I
want to talk about some
food myths.
Carbohydrates are
bad and cause you to
gain weight. This is a
myth, as carbohydrates
are definitely not bad
for you. In fact, 45 to 65
per cent of your energy
intake must come from
carbohydrates.
After
all, carbohydrates are
the
primary
source
of fuel for your brain
and
your
muscles
during exercise. But
you want to be sure
you’re
consuming
the
right
type
of
carbohydrates.
Fruits and vegetables
are an excellent source
of healthy carbohydrates.
Candy,
pop
and
anything with refined
added sugar, on the
other hand, is only
good in moderation. It
isn’t carbohydrates that
cause people to gain
weight, it’s consuming
too many carbohydrates,
or too many refined
carbohydrates
(sugar).
That, in combination
with physical inactivity, is
a perfect recipe for weight
gain.
Fat is bad and causes
you to gain weight. This
is also a myth. Fats
themselves are not bad,
and 20 to 35 per cent
of your total energy
intake needs to come
from fat. What makes fat
bad is the type and
the amount of fat you
consume.
There are three
categories
of
fats.
Unsaturated fats are
healthy, and most of your
fat should come from
these sources. Then there you hear about these

Yoga As Exercise
Jacklyn Wassell
There are those who
think “yoga is just not for
me.” But maybe you just
haven’t found the right
class yet!
There are different
kinds of yoga classes.
If you are looking for
a great workout, a
Vinyasa flow class is
a good fit. Not up for
anything too intense? Try
Yin yoga – this is more
of a stretching class with
a slower pace and longer
holds. Both classes are
offered at the Col JJ Parr
Sports Centre.
With
the
many
poses of yoga you can
get a full-body workout
in one class. Don’t feel
shy about going to a class
if you are a beginner,
modifications can be
made depending on
where you are in your
practice.
Yoga is a great form
of exercise with many
health benefits. Yoga
is a non-impact activity
which can provide a
great accompaniment to
other exercise programs.
In yoga we stretch our
muscles, causing them to
lengthen. With increased

œ““Õ˜ˆÌÞ

œ`Ê>Ži°
muscle length, you have
greater strength potential
because a longer muscle
is a larger muscle. So
yoga may allow you to
lift more in the weight
room! Yoga encourages
joint stability, functional
strength,
mobility,
agility and joint range of
motion. This not only
benefits our exercise
programs but also our
day to day lives.
The
benefits
go far beyond the
musculoskeletal system,
bringing balance to the
endocrine and nervous
systems as well. The
lymphatic/immune
system is strengthened
by the deep breathing
and strong muscular
contractions
involved
in yoga, which circulate
white
blood
cells
throughout
the
body. This helps with
detoxification of the
body.
As the muscles stretch,
so do the nerves and
blood vessels, providing
benefits to the nervous
and
cardiovascular
systems. All that deep
breathing one does in
a yoga class helps to
improve the function of
your lungs. Yoga really is
great for the whole body!
Yoga is great for the
mind as well. Stressed
out? Yoga is a great stress
reducer and is thought
to improve emotional
balance and promote
relaxation.
Having
trouble focusing at work?
Yoga
increases
your
ability to concentrate.
So with this New Year,
try something new and
come out to a yoga class.
If you already participate
in yoga, good for you!
Keep up the good work
and the benefits will keep
coming.
Namaste!
