Cake, popcorn, juice boxes
and babies – the Military Family Resource Centre knows
how to celebrate a party with
its “family.”
The Greenwood MFRC
marked its 28th anniversary
at its week drop-in Friday
morning coffee party, with
representatives of the wider 14
Wing Greenwood community
joining in.
“Twenty-eight years – that’s
a really big ‘Wow,’” said director Margaret Reid. “We can
all think back on what we can
celebrate and be proud of and,
this year, we can think back
on the incredibly loud voice
military families have made for
themselves here and around
the world.”
Reid pointed to the recent
Military Families Covenant,
and the Canadian Armed Forces acknowledgement of how
important it is to have families
and what they contribute to the
military mission on board. The
national military ombudsman
also took time in the past year
to recognize military families
and what they contribute.
“That recognition is music
to our ears in the MFRC – and
we credit you,” Reid said,
indicating the mixed range of
guests in the audience, from
Wing Commander Colonel
Iain Huddleston to a corner
of women busy knitting hats
at a large table during the
proceedings.
“We saw 3,100 volunteer
hours contributed through
the MFRC last year. That voice
is so loud, so strong and so
proud in Greenwood.”
Corporal Justin Kubis, the
MFRC board’s volunteer treasurer, welcomed all on behalf
of the board. He commended
the MFRC and all associated
with its operation for taking
programs from their start in
an old PMQ 28 years ago, to
the range offered daily today,
including a full slate of childcare programs.
Huddleston said he started
his military career single,

aware of what an MFRC offers, but not a big user of its
programs. During a posting
with General Rick Hillier later,
he had a first-hand look at
the inner operations – and
successes – of MFRCs across
Canada.

people like yourselves, and

Calling all heroes, villains!
Get pepped for annual winter carnival fun
Captain Maggie LaBerge,
Winter Carnival committee
PEP RALLY
7 Feb 2014 — Annapolis Mess
Table Decorating begins at 13hrs00
Doors open for Pep Rally & Entertainment at 15hrs00
Costumes are encouraged!
www.winter-carnival.ca
14 Wing Greenwood’s Winter
Carnival 2014 festivities will
commence February 7 at the
Annapolis Mess with the annual
pep rally.
This year’s carnival theme is
Heroes and Villains. If past winter carnivals are any indication,
costumes and team spirit will be
extraordinary, as six wing teams
vie for carnival honours as either
heroes or villains: 14 Air Maintenance Squadron will represent DC Comics, 413 Squadron
comes as Hanna Barbera, the
“Fantastic Four” (Wing Operations, 14 Software Engineering
Squadron, 404 Squadron and
Maritime Proving & Evaluation
Unit) will feature Marvel Comics,
Wing Logistics and Engineering
are from the Fox family of animated characters, 405 Squadron
represents Nintendo and the trio
of Wing Administration, Wing
Comptroller and Wing Commander are Disney.
As part of the carnival kick off
pep rally, the table decorating
challenge will take place in the
afternoon, with teams commencing their creations at 1
p.m., and judging at 4 p.m. Last
year’s winners were the (then)
St. John’s Trio (WOps, 14 SES,
404 Squadron).
The leadership challenge will
follow the wing commander’s
address at 3:30 p.m., with
each unit’s commanding officer
and squadron warrant officer
teamed up with their spouses
or a stand-in through a battle of
superiority. Bragging rights will
go to the teams that best navigate Heroes and Villains Trivia,
the Superhero MadLib and the
Villainous Portrait Contest. The
evening will be followed by
a TGIF, hosted by the Junior
Rank’s Mess, as well as entertainment from Starcatcher’s
Karaoke.
Winter Carnival hockey and
curling starts early February
24, and the carnival’s opening
ceremonies officially kick off
the celebration February 27, followed by the hockey and curling
finals at Greenwood Gardens.
There will be many exciting
activities both Thursday and Friday for Greenwood personnel,
followed Saturday by a pancake
breakfast and family activities
throughout the day.
2014 Winter Carnival key
chains are now available. The
$10 key chains give members
access to various carnival events
and the chance to win one of
three main prizes, and numerous smaller prizes, to be drawn
during the closing ceremony.

Préparez-vous pour le carnaval d’hiver annuel
Capitaine Maggie LaBerge,
Comité du carnaval d’hiver
Le coup d’envoi des festivités du carnaval d’hiver 2014
de la 14e Escadre Greenwood
sera donné le 7 février, lors
du rassemblement au mess
Annapolis.
Le thème choisi cette année
est « Les héros et les vilains ».
Si l’on se fie à ce qu’on a vu au
cours des dernières années, on
peut s’attendre à ce que les participants démontrent un esprit
d’équipe exceptionnel et nous
impressionnent grandement
avec leurs costumes. Cette année, les six équipes de l’escadre
suivantes se disputeront les
honneurs, à titre de héros ou
de vilains : le 14e Escadron de
maintenance (DC Comics); le
413e Escadron (Hanna Barbera); l’équipe « Fantastic Four »,
composée des Opérations de
l’escadre, du 14e Escadron de
génie logiciel, du 404e Escadron
et de l’Unité maritime d’essais et
d’évaluation (Marvel Comics); le
Service de logistique et d’ingénierie (personnages animés de
la famille Fox); le 405e Escadron
(Nintendo) et le trio composé de
l’Administration de l’escadre,
du contrôleur de l’escadre et
du commandant de l’escadre
(Disney).
Le concours de décoration de
table aura lieu durant l’aprèsmidi, lors du rassemblement
organisé pour le coup d’envoi
du carnaval. Les équipes pourront commencer leur création
à 13 h. L’équipe gagnante sera
proclamée à 16 h. L’an dernier,
c’est le Trio St. John’s (formé
des Ops Ere, du 14 Esc G
logiciel et du 404e Escadron)
qui avait remporté la première
place.
L’allocution du commandant
de l’escadre sera suivie du Défi
du leadership, à 15 h 30. Les
commandants et adjudants
d’escadron de chaque unité
formeront une équipe avec leur
conjoint ou un remplaçant et
participeront à une lutte de
supériorité. Ceux qui auront
obtenu les meilleurs résultats
lors du jeu-questionnaire sur les
héros et les vilains, du jeu MadLib sur les super héros et du
concours de portraits de vilains
seront proclamés vainqueurs.
En soirée, il y aura une réception

Ce que signifient le
soutien et la confiance
au CRFM
Sara Keddy,
rédactrice en chef
Gâteaux, maïs soufflé et
boîtes de jus, – le Centre de
ressources pour les familles
des militaires sait faire la fête
avec ses « familles ».
Le CRFM Greenwood a célébré son 28e anniversaire lors
du « Café sans rendez-vous du
vendredi matin », avec la participation des représentants de
l’ensemble de la communauté
de la 14e Escadre Greenwood.
« Vingt-huit ans – c’est
vraiment un gros “ouah”, a
dit la directrice Margaret Reid.
« Nous pouvons tous repenser
à ce que nous pouvons célébrer et en être fiers et, cette
année, nous pouvons repenser
à la très forte audience que les
familles des militaires se sont
bâties au Canada et partout
dans le monde ».
Reid a indiqué la récente
Convention des familles des
militaires et la reconnaissance
par les Forces armées canadiennes de l’importance des fa-
milles des militaires et de leurs
contributions aux missions
militaires. L’Ombudsman militaire national a également pris
le temps, au cours de l’année
dernière, de reconnaître les
familles des militaires et leurs
contributions.
« Cette reconnaissance est
une très bonne nouvelle pour
le CRFM – et nous vous en attribuons le mérite », a affirmé
Reid, indiquant la gamme
variée d’invités dans la salle,
notamment le colonel Iain
Huddleston, commandant de
l’Escadre, et un groupe de
femmes assises à une grande
table, occupées à tricoter des
chapeaux lors de la réunion.
« Nous avons enregistré
l’année dernière une contribution de 3 100 heures
de bénévolat au CRFM. La
14e Escadre Greenwood est
très fière d’une telle contribution ».
Le caporal Justin Kubis,
trésorier bénévole du conseil
d’administration du CRFM,
a souhaité la bienvenue à

tous au nom du conseil
d’administration. Il a félicité le CRFM et toutes les
personnes associées à son
fonctionnement pour avoir
participé au démarrage des
programmes dans un vieux LF,
il y a de cela 28 ans, jusqu’à
la prestation de la gamme des
services quotidiens offerts
aujourd’hui, notamment une
gamme complète de programmes de garde d’enfants.
Huddleston a indiqué qu’il
était célibataire lorsqu’il débuta
sa carrière militaire, conscient
de ce que le CRFM peut offrir,
mais qu’il n’utilise pas beaucoup ces programmes. Lors
d’une affectation auprès du
général Rick Hillier plus tard, il
a eu le privilège d’examiner luimême les opérations internes
– et les succès – des CRFM
partout au Canada.

Combined effort adds up
Seasonal campaign totals $69,000 for charities
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
Pockets are deep among 14
Wing Greenwood personnel,
as the results are in from the
recent Combined Charities
campaign.
The annual base-wide giving
program, which runs from
September through December
and includes events such as
the payroll allotment drive,
mega-potluck, Movember and
Festival of Trees; raised close
to $69,000.
“That’s excellent work,”
Wing Charities chairman Captain James Murdock said
January 20, as committee
volunteers met for their wrapup meeting.
“We surpassed our goal
of $50,000 with all of these
things going on on the wing.”
Highlights included the sellout Sunset Ceremony BBQ in
August, a $5,000 increase in
Festival of Trees bidding and
an earlier start to payroll al-
14 Wing Greenwood’s Combined Charities accepted a final contribution January 20 from Scotiabank, a $7,962.95 matching funds donation, wrapping up the
2013 campaign and bringing the total to $69,000. Wing Administration Officer
Lieutenant-Colonel Ted Cosstick, Scotiabank reps Michelle Kehoe and Lesa Orr,
and Chief Warrant Officer Lise Ward capped the season with a formal cheque
presentation at base headquarters.
S.Keddy
lotment canvassing. Friday’s
dress down day throughout
the Combined Charities campaign saw a slow and steady
trickle of weekly toonies collected (Fridays the rest of the
year, dress down days’ funds
are split between Combined
Charities and unit discretionary funds).
Of that $69,000, Combined
Charities will now recommend charitable donations of
$49,000 be shared among sev-
eral dozen identified charities,
including schools, food banks,
health and social service nonprofits, sports programs and
animal welfare groups. The
remaining funds were raised in
specific charities’ names, such
as Terry Fox and Movember.
Looking ahead, Combined
Charities volunteers will man
the Sunset Ceremony’s BBQ
again, see the return of the
biennial Terry Fox head shave
challenge and aim for a September launch and earlier
efforts with the payroll allotment. Murdock asked unit reps
to continue to collect the Friday townies, and also report
on-going fundraising and
benefit efforts being undertaken around the wing to be
added into the annual Wing
Charities total.
Wing Administration Officer
Lieutenant-Colonel Ted Cosstick spoke to the committee
on behalf of Wing Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston,
thanking each member for the
“fabulous” work they do.
“Because of the hard work
you do managing the ‘good
ideas fairy’ here at the base
– we are all charitable, we
all have good ideas and we’d
be running out and doing
them; under the auspices of
Combined Charities pulling
together and working in one
direction, we can put our
dollars to work on causes on
behalf of the wing.”
Cosstick also commended
Combined Charities’ partnership with volunteers from
the Greenwood Scotiabank,
who teamed the bank’s
matched funds program with
several Combined Charities
events. Staff hours turned
into $7,962.95 for Combined
Charities, bringing the partnership’s total since 2012 to
over $20,000. Through 2013,
Scotiabank contributed 400
volunteer hours and $175,986
through various community
partnered events.
“The gates of Greenwood
are so porous,” Cosstick said.
“We work together to raise
funds for charitable causes
and folks who do good, and we
could not achieve the results
we do without these partnerships.”

Greenwood ‘clans’ mark Burns’ birthday
Sergeant Andrew Bruce,

& Sergeant Pete Nicholson,

In his short 37 years, Rabbie Burns became a worldrenowned poet,
A Queensland

book
whose common background
as a farmer and use of common Scottish and English
dialects made his poetry
and political musings accessible to a large population.
The customs of the Burns
tribute night, held in honour
of Scotland’s national poet,
born January 25 1759; can
be traced back to 1802 in
Greenock, Scotland.
Those dinner traditions
have changed little from that
first tribute, held on a cold
night in January and, January
24, in true Scottish fashion,
14 Wing Greenwood held its
second annual Burns Night.
It was also cold, but hospitality, fellowship and great
food warmed the assembled
“clans.”
Hosted by the Officer’s
Mess, the dinner kicked off
with Halifax-based entertainment from the Queensland
Major General (retired) Ian Patrick, laird for the evening,

Highland Dancers, the dynamic duo of Maggie and
Cassie MacDonald, along
with a new friend, Rachael
Davis, and, of course, the 14
Wing Pipes and Drums.
The five-course meal was
presided over by Laird Major
General (retired) Ian Patrick,
whose address to the haggis
(well-rehearsed from last
year) provided an appropriate and entertaining kick-off
Aurora
to the evening. The very
Scottish haggis, neeps and
tatties were expertly plated
and served by 14 Wing Foods
Services staff. During the
meal, all were entertained by
the Queensland Dancers, a
black light drum salute from
the 14 Wing Drums corps
and a sampling of the bard’s
poetry, read by Corporal
Duncan of 405 Squadron and
Lorraine Marjoribanks.
Burns was known to fancy
the ladies (having had 12
children by four women,
including nine with his wife)
and, following 255 years
of tradition, the tribute of
toasting the lassies was performed eloquently by Royal
Air Force Flight Lieutenant
Rich Jones. After raising their
glasses to toast the lassies,
the favour was returned by
Amanda Huddleston, whose
rapier sharp wit provided
a marvellous reply to the
laddies.
After the dinner, 14 Wing
Commander Colonel Iain
Huddleston acknowledged
the Rabbie Burns committee
members, Royal Air Force
Flight Lieutenant Rich Jones,
Sergeant Alan Marjoribanks
and Sergeant Andrew Bruce;
as well as the kitchen staff.

Upon completion of the
formal festivities, a ceilidh,
led by Cassie MacDonald and
Rachel Davis on fiddles and
Maggie MacDonald on piano,
as well as the Queensland
Dancers; kicked into high
gear. Guests were taught
some traditional social dances, including the Gay Gordon’s, Strip the Willow, the
Dashing White Sergeant and
a 4 Square Reel set.
An excellent time was had
by all, and the Rabbie Burns
Committee would like to
sincerely thank all those

Face to a name
Sergeant Anthony Sallis, 404 Squadron
Major Chris Larsen,
404 Squadron Researcher
“The first casualties of the
month occurred when F/S GS
Brockington (pilot) and Sgt JD
Moller (WAG) struck a balloon
cable in Blenheim Z6173 at
South Shields early in the afternoon of 12 June. The third
member of the crew, Sgt AC
Sallis (Obs), made it through
the accident uninjured.”
This June 1942 entry in
the Squadron History (see
www.404squadron.com)
does not seem to be an unusual entry in itself. During
the nearly four years of overseas service in 404 Squadron,
there were many such fatalities. What is unique is the fact
Anthony Sallis survived. This
fact in itself is worthy of a
story, but there is much more.
It is well known flying is a
dangerous task, carried out in
a most unforgiving environment. Couple this with the
unparalleled dangers of flying
during the Second World War
and it is a small wonder there
were any Royal Canadian Air
Force survivors of the conflict.
Deaths that occur during
operations are expected.
Deaths that occur during
training are tragic.
Sallis was an observer (a
trade which became navigators later in the war), one
of a three-man crew that
flew the Bristol Blenheim
aircraft as part of 404 (Coastal
Fighter) Squadron, fondly
remembered as the Buffalo
Squadron. The Blenheim, a
cramped, two-engine light
bomber; was the wrong aircraft to be employed in the
role of fighter escort, yet the
aircrew of the day did their
best with the obsolete aircraft.
Still, the Buffalo crews felt
let down by the RCAF by being
forced to fly outdated, obsolete aircraft again Luftwaffe
fighters, especially when the

boys saw the newest twinengine fighters being flown
by other British and Canadian squadrons: the Bristol
Beaufighter and legendary
De Havilland Mosquito. Even
though the replacement by
Beaufighters was always a rumour for the crews, the daily
churn of training in tactics,

and the never-ending practice flights, filled their days.
Training in the handling of the
slow Blenheim was a constant
requirement.
Wing Commander (equivalent to today’s lieutenant colonel) James Alonzo Dixon was
404 Squadron’s newly appointed commanding officer.
A pilot, Dixon was a senior officer who had joined the Royal
Air Force long before the war
started. His appointment as
the CO was an oddity in and
of itself, as it occurred during
a period when the RCAF was
pushing hard to ensure the CO
of every RCAF squadron was
Canadian.
If you read between the
lines, it seems (though cannot
be proven) the new CO was
not impressed with the demeanour of his new unit, and
felt the aggressiveness in the
flying skills of this Canadian
unit was lacking. In order to
demonstrate flying tactics
and aggressiveness, Dixon
took an aircraft, with Sallis
as a passenger, and took off
on a fateful day. This story
ended sadly. Again, from the
Sergeant Anthony Sallis in flying gear.
Squadron history:
“On 13 July, W/C JA Dixon
and Sgt AC Sallis were killed
when their aircraft crashed

batics. It was a severe blow
to the unit as W/C Dixon had
only been in command for
less than a month.
“Experienced one of the
most terrible things today
that I have ever seen when
I watched our new C/O, W/C
Dickson (sic) and his Observer Sallis crash to their death
in the middle of the drome. I
believe he was rolling at too
low an altitude and the plane
struck the deck at about a 45
degree angle with both motors screaming at wide open
throttle.”
Anthony and Dixon were
killed instantly. For several
years, I have wondered at this
story. Why did Dixon take Sallis up as the only passenger
for this flight? What actually happened leading to the
crash? Was the CO performing aerobatics as described
in the history, or was there
a mechanical malfunction in
this obsolete aircraft? Finally,
I always wondered what Sallis looked like, with a hope of
adding his image to the unit
history.
Thanks to Sallis’ nephew,
Peter Andrews in the United
Kingdom, we can now put a
face to a name, and remember another one of our lost
comrades.

Full slate of community projects keep Kingston club busy
Lion Pat Nixon,
Kingston Lions Club
The Kingston Lions would
like to wish everyone a Happy
New Year. We are appreciative
of the tremendous support
our community gives us as we
work to raise funds in order to
provide assistance to many initiatives, projects and charitable
organizations.
We had the pleasure of hosting many company and unit
Christmas parties at the Lions’
hall. The largest, for Soldiers
Memorial Hospital, saw us
prepare 180 sit down meals and
50 takeout meals for those who
still had to work at the hospital.
All funds raised by catering to
parties, weddings and anniver-
saries go directly back into the
community in some manner.
The club’s annual Christmas
Eve breakfast December 24
meant Lions were busy for
many days prior, getting set
to host the community. The
day itself started at 5 a.m. for
Lions, and 6 a.m. for guests.
We served just under 700 full
breakfasts before 10 a.m. The

breakfast was by freewill offering, as the intent was to bring
the community, family and
friends together.
Throughout the year, 50
/50 tickets are sold during
our weekly bingos, with funds
raised donated to the Upper
Room Food Bank. The Kingston
Lions presented $1,350 to the
food bank.
Lions worked with Friendly
Neighbours to distribute Christmas hampers and wrapped
gifts to families during the
Christmas season. This year,
Kingston distributed hampers,
with all the fixings for a full
Christmas dinner, and boxes
of wrapped gifts and toys.
As well, we recently donated
80 surplus soup bowls to St.
Monica’s Church in Middleton
to help it start a soup kitchen.
We also made recent donations
to the Alzheimer’s Society and
to the Kingston fire department
in support of its awards night.
Did you know the Kingston
Lions Club, along with other
Lions clubs in our district, collect used eyeglasses? They are
sent onto the Canadian Lions
Eyeglass Recycling Centre in
Calgary, where the eyeglasses
are cleaned, graded and packed
by prescription and then taken
to developing countries by
medical missions. They are
distributed to needy people by
Lions and eye care workers.
Collection boxes are located
in businesses throughout the
Kingston/ Greenwood area. Go
to http://www.clerc.ca/ for to
learn more about this important
service. And, have you heard?
We also collect used hearing
aids in the same collection
boxes, and send them to the
Dalhousie University Medical
School. They are refurbished,
repaired and distributed to
people who need hearing aids
but can’t afford them. Please
donate your used eyeglasses
and hearing aids at any one of
the collection boxes, call (902)
765-2128 or drop them off at
the Lions’ hall.
Over the next couple of
months, the Lions Club has
volunteered to hold two fundraisers in support of the Credit
Union Centre (Kingston arena).
Stay tuned for more details.
Please note: the timings
for our tremendously popular
monthly noon luncheons have
changed. The doors will now

Ah, February… a month
when one’s attention turns to
matters of the heart. Stores
are filled with chocolate treats
done up in scarlet, heartshaped boxes; youngsters
prepare elaborate Valentines for their classmates, young lovers
concoct romantic adventures to demonstrate their affection
for one another. Us
50-plus-somethings
muse over the implications of our recent stress
tests and plan for a visit with
the cardiologist to ensure our
hearts are strong and functioning properly.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Canada.
Eating right, exercising and
managing one’s weight are
simple ways to look after your
heart. Regular check-ups,
sudoku
solution page 14
identifying a family history of
heart disease and monitoring
the changes in your own body
also help.
In February, the Heart &
Stroke Foundation campaigns
door-to-door in many communities. In Kingston, a small
army of volunteers have organized to visit most of the homes
within the village to solicit financial donations. This money
is used for research into heart
health and stroke prevention.
If you wonder how much
you should give, consider
giving $1 for each child or
grandchild who expects you
will be there to see him gradu-
ate or her walk down the aisle
a few years hence. Maybe you
could give another $1 for each
friend, neighbour or relative
who had a stress test this
past year, or an echo test or
an angioplasty. Each person
you know who had successful
open-heart surgery this
past year might tabulate, say, $5. Maybe
you might want to give
$5 for each loved one
who died of heart disease with absolutely
no warning. Consider
giving another $5 for
each person you know whose
quality of life was suddenly
compromised as the result of a
stroke; $10 if that person was
younger than yourself. And,
you might want to give just
because you are able, without
any formula at all.

street last year? If not, call

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, you are inspired to take on the
world, but you may want to focus on
smaller goals this week. Finishing
a long-lingering work project is a
viable option.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, something does not seem
to be falling into place. Take stock of
things at home and at work to see if
you can crack this nut. A little more
investigation many be necessary.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
You may be offered a professional
opportunity this week that is too good
to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great
offer, do your best to stay focused on
work for the next several days.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Exercise caution and do not jump
to any conclusions at work, Cancer.
While you may know what your boss
expects from you, it is better to wait
to hear what he or she has to say.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, you can envision exciting
adventures ahead, and those times will
be here before you know it. Channel
your enthusiasm so you can get a
head start on planning your adventure.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you have a desire to be
different from everyone else this
week. It’s good to be original, but
don’t stray too far off the beaten path
or you may find yourself lost.
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!

Some canvassers have innovative ways to stimulate giving,
perhaps hosting neighbourhood coffee parties and inviting

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, a friend may shock you by
doing something really outrageous.
You do not know what to make of
this change in personality, but do
your best to take it in stride.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on
your plate in the coming week. You
can handle everything that comes
your way, so long as you keep your
cool and continue to work hard.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
You may be tempted to sneak off and
play hooky from work, Sagittarius.
Just make sure you handle all of your
obligations first. Now is not the best
time to kick up your heels.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, you have so much to
do now that your mind may be in a
complete jumble. Others will come
at you with questions, but take a
deep breath and answer them one
at a time.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Change is not the best idea right now,
Aquarius. It is much better to stick
with the status quo for a little while
longer. Then you will have enough
stability to make a change.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, you have many new ideas
about how to get rich quick, but
you will probably want to find more
sensible ways to earn a living.

Cleansing should
your life, not interrupt it...
Rapid Cleanse, Rapid Results!
Rapid Cleanse will help to: increase
energy, accelerate weight loss, reduce
toxic load, and improve overall health.
RCMP Constable Jeff Wilson, front left, was on the ice a few weeks ago to scout out
the talent being lined up against the Valley RCMP team in a February 8 benefit game
for MADD’s Bay of Fundy Chapter. The Valley Golden Oldies, with many members
skating with Berwick’s senior scrimmage afternoons, include, back row from left,
Jerry Meade, George Kennedy and team captain Bob Holmes; and, in the centre
front, Byron Butt, a retired Mountie and now president of the local MADD chapter,
and John Charest.

MADD action as
oldies vs Mounties
On ice action at the Kingston arena heats up February
8 at 4 p.m., as two teams face
off for a great cause.
The Valley Golden Oldies,
out of Greenwood, will play
Valley RCMP all-stars in a
benefit match-up for the Bay
of Fundy Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(MADD).
The Greenwood oldies are
well-known for contributing
to various local charities. The
early line-up for the February 8 MADD game includes
Bobby Holmes, John Charest,
Byron Butt, John Spencer,
Leo Glavine, George Kennedy,
Dave Kennedy and Don Sanford, Jerry Meade and others
(including the Berwick Mafia).
Admission to the game
is by freewill offering, with
a 50/50 draw on site. The
canteen will also be open.
Families are welcome. Funds
raised at the event will support victims of impaired driving crimes with travel to the
MADD national conference
in Ontario.
MADD is a communitybased, non-profit group focussed on anti-impaired driving initiatives. Begun in 1990,
MADD Canada is a national
network of victims and concerned citizens who work on
education, support for victims
and families, legal research
and enforcement projects,
all designed to stop tragedy
before it happens. There are
over 100 chapters across
the country, with 7,500 volunteers. Approximately four
Canadians are killed due to
impaired driving every day,
while another 196 are injured.
It does this by cleansing the entire body
of toxins without the need to follow a
strict diet or interrupt your routine.
Rapid Cleanse is designed to deliver
results for everyone, every time.
FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT IN-STORE
For information on the
Bay of Fundy chapter, contact president Byron Butt,
