The couple has been taking their family dogs into Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital for 14 years as St. John therapy animals, visiting residents and staff in the transitional and long-term residential units and “brightening their day.” “Bob saw a poster one day, and we contacted St. John about the program,” Moore, a sergeant with 14 Wing Greenwood’s Education and Training Organization, says. Geub, a sergeant, is 405 Squadron’s training coordinator. They had two dogs, chocolate labs Otto and Papillion, who passed the training and testing to become official program members. “When you’re testing a dog, you would have people with walkers and canes and chairs and lots of clutter, pretending to be a residence, and see how they’d do. Any dog that just wants to be touched and talked to, and can just sit and lie down and be content can be a therapy dog.” Otto and Papi put in over 200 hours of visiting time at SMH over the years: both have since passed away, but Moore and Geub have added Shadow and Riley to the “team,” and one-year-old Koal is in training. Geub was hoping to have him “in action” over the weekend. “Taking a dog in just opens things up,” Moore says. “We try and go at least once a week, sometimes up to three hours, and the dogs just love it – love it.” They also seem to have a natural affinity for the people they’re visiting, the couple feels. Moore remembers visiting a man years ago, who always greeted them in his arm chair. One day, they arrived to Diane Moore and Bob Geub with Riley and Shadow, therapy dogs, on the way to visit veterans and patients at Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital. The couple has been bringing their “fur kids” to the hospital on weekly visits for the past 14 years. Master Corporal D.Neuman, 14 AMS Wing Imaging One of the first things Lieutenant-Colonel David Proteau realized as he arrived at 14 Wing Greenwood last summer was the high level of seriousness backing the base’s network of “champions.” Awareness and education campaigns around discrimination, disabilities, women and minorities are led by appointed base leaders, and Proteau took on the mantle of champion for visible minorities along with command duties at 404 Squadron. “By appointing the responsibilities to the commanding officers of units, you make a statement leadership is on board, and a champion has a captive audience at many opportunities to talk about these issues,” Proteau says. While he attended a Kings County multicultural event in the fall on behalf of the base, African Heritage Month, February, is his first substantial chance to focus on visible minority issues. A proclamation signed by Wing Commander Iain Huddleston will be read at February’s wing council meeting and published around the base, and supporting information will be circulated through defence team links here in Greenwood. Proteau understands the challenge and sensitiveness of identifying individual minority representatives as part of base efforts to support and educate everyone, but hopes the base’s overall commitment makes a difference. “I think everyone, no matter who they are, wants the same opportunities, wants to be evaluated just like everyone else and wants to be equal,” Proteau says. “I never thought of this as an issue, but we’re supposed to be totally transparent in what we do - and we may take it for granted that we are.” Continued on page 2...

Des campagnes d’information et de sensibilisation sur la discrimination, les incapacités et les questions touchant les femmes et les minorités sont pilotées par des leaders choisis sur la base. De son côté, Proteau a pris les rênes du dossier des minorités visibles de pair avec ses fonctions de commandement du 404e Escadron. « En confiant ce genre de responsabilités à des commandants d’unités, vous affirmez que la direction appuie le dossier. Un champion profite par ailleurs d’un auditoire captif et de nombreuses occasions de parler de ces questions », dit Proteau. Bien qu’il ait participé à une activité multiculturelle dans le comté de Kings à l’automne à titre de représentant de la base, le Mois du patrimoine africain en février sera pour le lieutenant-colonel Proteau Letter to the editor la première véritable occasion d’aborder les questions qui touchent les minorités visibles. Une proclamation signée par le commandant de l’Escadre Iain Huddleston sera lue lors de la réunion du conseil de l’Escadre en février et elle sera diffusée dans l’ensemble de la base. De l’information sera également diffusée grâce aux liens de l’équipe de la défense, ici à Greenwood. Proteau comprend qu’il peut être difficile et délicat pour la base d’identifier des représentants de minorités individuelles afin de manifester son appui aux minorités et de sensibiliser toute la population à leurs défis propres, mais il espère que l’engagement global de la base fait une différence. « Je pense que chaque être humain, quel qu’il soit, veut avoir les mêmes possibilités, veut être évalué comme les autres et veut être traité en égal, dit Proteau. Je n’ai jamais vu cela comme un problème auparavant, mais nous sommes censés faire preuve d’une totale transparence dans tout ce que nous faisons – et peut-être que nous tenons trop pour acquis notre attitude à cet égard. » Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital Veterans’ Unit resident Don Pringle enjoys a visit from therapy dogs Riley and Shadow. Master Corporal D.Neuman, 14 AMS Wing Imaging Dog team... ...cover find him in bed, and “Otto just hopped up so gently, and just laid down beside him. His arm came up and around and you could just see the life come back in his face,” Moore says. They visited another man for years and, when he passed away and his wife moved into the residence, they continued almost as family. Shared chats about sewing projects underway, models under construction at a hobby table, experiences in past work lives, extended families and more “brings back memories and can do wonders for their wellbeing,” Moore says. “For these people, their daily menus repeat, there’s no difference between a Saturday, a Tuesday or a holiday,” says Geub. “I definitely think, for these people, the dogs’ visits are gratifying and make their day.” There are tough days as well, the couple acknowledges, when someone they’ve visited many times before is no longer in their accustomed chair or room. “It’s hard, but it’s so gratifying,” Moore says. “It’s just fantastic what a dog will do: petting something, they say, is the best medicine there is.” Editor: recalled with great detail in his simulated project the events of the 1970s.

Paradis, Chief, 14 Wing Fire and Emergency Services 14 Wing Greenwood Fire and Emergency Services was busy through 2013 in all respects, from fire response to life safety. The section’s suppression platoons responded to 279 calls for assistance and, thankfully, while there was some property loss, no one was seriously injured. National Defence and the Royal Canadian Air Force experience less fires per capita due mostly to mandatory training of all department personnel, fire engineering practices and regularly scheduled prevention inspections. Overall, the National Defence Fire Service, composed of a A little bit of this blend of RCAF military and DND civilians, responded to over 7,000 calls in 2013. There were 11 reportable fires during 2013: five on the wing, two public service responses – one for the summer warehouse fire in Kingston and another for a private vehicle at the Greenwood Mall. There were also four wildland fires. There were 127 non-fire incidents, including false alarms, fuel spills, rescues and motor vehicle accidents. Crews also responded to 41 medical emergencies and, while some were quite serious, all resulted in positive outcomes. On the aircraft side of the house, there were an even 100 responses for emergencies and hazardous process stand-by.

Jessome made the initial short list and prepared pan grilled boneless leg of lamb in herb crust with ribbons, yellow zucchini, red onion and cherry tomato and kale pesto gnocchi; but it wasn’t enough to advance him to the next round in the cook-off.

The event, called Family Forum, will take place over two evenings, February 18 and 19, to accommodate busy family schedules, with both sessions starting at 7 p.m. at the Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC). On either evening, military family members will have the opportunity to informally chat with representatives from the Family Information Line, the National Military Family Council, the MFRC, SISIP (Service Income Security Insurance Plan), OSISS (Operational Stress Injury Social Support) and others. The newly founded RCAF Family Support Team will also be available with information on national programs and ways “grass root” solutions may be developed for RCAF families. “There are more resources than ever, and this is an important chance to connect with families directly to let them know what’s available,” says LieutenantColonel Jean Mallais, who heads the team running the Family Forums. “We’re assembling key contacts who have a vested interest in the well-being of military families to provide information on how easy it is to access first-class support.” Childcare at the forum will be provided free of charge, provided attendees register in advance by contacting (902) 765-5611 or emailing [email protected].

Submitted Arena support keeps Kingston momentum going Kingston and its community friends are determined to prove the village is “Hockeyville,” and a fundraising dinner February 1 at the Annapolis Mess at 14 Wing Greenwood went a long way towards the goal. The dinner raised $49,000 for the Credit Union Centre (Kingston rink), with over FRONTLINE UAV SUPPORT ROLES MDA has a number of challenging, exciting overseas opportunities in the growing field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Successful applicants will receive extensive training abroad.

Everyone enjoyed a Meadowbrook Meats roast pork dinner, followed by live and silent auctions and a concert featuring Big Fish, from Halifax. Gary Leason was the auctioneer and Kings County Councillor Bob Best was the ringman. Wayne Fowler, rink association president; and KRock announcers were MCs for the evening. Three big auction items for the evening included the Kingston Hockeyville “one of a kind” jersey designed by T&S Office, won with a bid of $1,050 by Valley Credit Union; the Sidney Crosby signed and shadow boxed jersey, donated by Valley Credit Union, won by Justin Barker of Bruce Auto Group for $2,500; and the Greenwood Auto Sales donated Toronto trip for two including executive suites across from the ACC, flights and two tickets to see the Montreal Canadians versus the Toronto Maple Leafs; won by Robbie Parker and Kevin Ryerson for $4,500. Scotiabank contributed a matched funds donation of $5,000, and Valley Drug Mart Pharmasave donated $5,000 in memory of Maynard Hines. Organizers express thanks to the Friends of the Villages group for its support manning the silent auction for the evening, and helping keep the bids tallied and recorded. Staff of the Village of Kingston, along with Scotiabank and the Credit Union, worked Jim Lamb of Meadowbrook Meats serves up supper. Submitted hand in hand to sell out the venue. Fowler said he, along with the rink’s board of directors, were excited to see the support for the facility, as the evening’s attendance and the overwhelming endorsement of Kingston’s bid for the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville national title – and $100,000 in rink upgrades - have certainly demonstrated that. A rink party and community parade earlier in January added to the Kingston nomination. At the dinner, Kings West MLA Leo Glavine announced a $90,000 provincial grant to help with arena repairs of the concrete pad, coolant piping and header to the plant, boards, glass and safety netting. Fowler said the rink will be moving ahead with the work, in partnership with the County of Kings and its engineering staff, in the coming weeks, with tender documents released shortly. the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS Page 7 February 10, 2014 Veteran of the month Colouring Contest • Concours de coloriage de Pâques Ŗ &GPVCN 2NCPU #EEGRVGF Ŗ&GPVCN2NCPU#EEGRVGF Ŗ'XGPKPI#RRQKPVOGPVU 7RQP4GSWGUV K.A.
