The confines of our old space left little room to move without stepping on one another. Therefore, we knocked down a few walls and redecorated a little, and now we have more (and better) room to spread our wings. In fact, we have nearly tripled our workspace. And along with more floor space, we got windows too! To allow for this expansion, our old next-door neighbour, the 10 Hangar gym, was moved upstairs. Discussions and planning got underway at the end of March last year and the sledgehammers came out eight months later in November. The renovations were completed in early April, and the official opening for the renovated and expanded 14 AMS Wing Imaging section was Continued on page 3.

It has been a long process, but 14 AMS Wing Imaging is now running more smoothly and efficiently than ever. We have additional desks and computer work stations, so no one has to wait to work on jobs. This is important because our computers are essentially our dark rooms as well as our graphic design studios. With the additional space, we were also able to get the video section out of a crammed corner, new offices for the Sergeants and a new workspace for the Master Corporals. Finally, a new matting and framing section means that all the going away gifts, Certificates of Service, door signs, and maps get out the door much quicker.

An April Fools joke? No, it was a Buffalo Airways Lockheed Electra ferrying cement and re-bar to Iqaluit, in the Canadian North. The familiar white and green paint scheme of the aircraft, a predecessor of the Aurora, was flown by the famed “Ice Pilots” of the national TV program of the same name. The program chronicles the activities of Buffalo Airways of Hay River, NWT owned and operated by Joe McBryan (“Buffalo Joe”). The company flies to northern Canadian destinations, mainly out of Yellowknife and Hay River, using vintage aircraft DC-3 and DC4 airliners and C46 Commando; and newer Beech Baron, CL-215 water bomber and turbo-prop Lockheed Electra. The program’s #1 fan is Officer Cadet (OCdt) Elizabeth (Liz) Cowden, seen at the reception desk at the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum. Between flights, the Electra crews paid visits to the Museum. General Manager, Major Bob Johnson, gave personal tours, part of which was video taped and will be part of a future episode of next year’s “Ice Pilots” show. A call to OCdt Liz at home brought her to meet her “champions”, even though she had to hobble around in her ankle cast; in the excitement she forgot her crutches at home! As there was so much work, a second Electra crew enabled them to fly round-the-clock. The second crew was captained by AJ Decoste, who got off track driving to Greenwood from the airport in Halifax and ended up in Liverpool, even though he’s originally from Nova Scotia. When they asked for directions to a couple of sight-seeing locations in the Valley, OCdt Liz printed off a very clear set of local maps so they wouldn’t run into the same navigational issues. OCdt Liz got to chat with AJ and Scott on quite a few Sean Barry, Scott Blue, OCdt Liz Cowden, Brian Harrison, Adam Smith. (Images: Officer Cadet (OCdt) Elizabeth Cowden) 2011 marks the 70th Anniversary of the formation of 4 World War II Squadrons (Sqn): 404, 405, 413 and 415 Squadrons; as well as the 45 th Anniversary of VP International. RV-2011 commemorates these significant milestones with 4 Major Events and several smaller events from 9-12 June 2011 at 14 Wing Greenwood. It is hoped that these events will allow current and former 404 Sqn “Buffalos”, 405 Sqn “Eagles”, 413 Sqn “Tuskers”, 415 Sqn “Swordfish” and members of VPI to celebrate our “History and Fellowship” RV-2011 commences on June 9 th .

She tells us that they were both so nice and willing to answer all her questions about flying in the North, operating those old war birds in the bitter cold, and how they ended up In Yellowknife of all places. AJ is an avid snowmobiler but says this past winter was too cold to go out much. OCdt Liz, being a pilot herself, (glider and private licenses) and an Officer Cadet pilot- untrained in the military, the crews were more than happy to talk shop. They loved the Bolingbroke restoration project and their ears perked up when she talked about our Dakota restoration, as they are still flying some of the same vintage! Both of them said they had tried to get into military flying but it hadn’t worked out for one reason or another. OCdt Liz declares it was a pleasure to meet all of the crew, not just because of the TV show, but because “they share my passion for real hands-and-feet flying and they do it in incredibly harsh conditions, in aircraft with real character and history. And they were all incredibly nice to boot.” Overall, they put that goofy smile on this young flyer’s face for quite some time. Many of the crew make their home in Yellowknife and despite our preconceptions of the weather there, they do have summers.

Yes, Buffalo Joe is as stern as he is portrayed in the episodes but it is, without doubt, the boss’ way of keeping the crews alert and making sure they return home safely. Despite this gruff exterior, the boss often shows his softer side through his generosity, but don’t tell anyone! Overall, the crews were most impressed with the Museum, its aircraft on display in the air park and the memorabilia inside. Of particular interest was the Air Commodore Birchall display, one of Canada‘s war heroes whom Churchill called “The Savior of Ceylon“. S/L Birchall, with 413 Squadron flying an R.C.A.F. PBY 5A Catalina out of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), was the Canadian pilot who spotted the massive Japanese fleet in the Indian Ocean approaching the islands. His warning message alerted the British in the home port enabling the repulsion of the attack and keeping this strategic area in Allied hands. Birchall’s plane was shot down, killing three crew members; the survivors spent three years in a prisoner of war camp. This story and many more can be viewed at the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum.

The tournament was held in Borden, ON and took place from the 8th to the 13th of May. Representing Team Atlantic were Major (Maj) Gilles Couture (Team Coach, Team Capt) from Acoustic Data Analysis Centre Atlantic (ADAC(A)), Lieutenant Commander (LCdr) Michael Melnychuk from CF Naval Engineering School (CFNES), Chief Petty Officer 1st Class (CPO1) Ken Mullins from Maritime Forces Atlantic (MARLANT) Headquarters, LCdr Pat Perks from HMCS Preserver, Master Corporal (MCpl) Brian Reid from 423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron, Naval Cadet (NCdt) Victoria Bertling from the Halifax Base Commander’s office, Captain (Capt) Jeff Hallam from 404 Long Range Patrol and Training Squadron, and Private (Pte) Chris Jones from 2nd Battalion The Royal Canadian Regiment (2RCR) in Gagetown.

The National Championship tournament format is similar to the Regional Tournament. The event is divided into two distinct parts: for the first two and a half days, the players compete against equally seeded players from the other regions to determine which team will bring home the pennant. The second part of the Tournament is an elimination round for the Under 30, Master, Women and Open categories to determine which player for each category will be Individual National Champion. Team Atlantic dominated in the team event, accumulating an incredible 141 points out of a perfect 156, only 1 point shy of 142, the 2007 record which also belongs to Team Atlantic. Just a couple more nicks and it would have been a new record! The elimination round also went very well for the Atlantic Region players. Keeping on track with the momentum gathered at the Canadian Nationals held in Toronto a few days before, Maj Gilles Couture defeated Maj Simon Comtois from the Prairie Region for his first CF National title (Open). Pte Chris Jones secured the Under 30 crown while LCdr Michael Melnychuk was the runner-up in a tightly fought battle in the Masters division. CPO1 Ken Mullins and Capt Jeff Hallam won their respective consolation draws. NCdt Victoria Bertling, in her first participation in the CF Nationals, came within 3 little points from the title in the Women’s round robin. Atlantic not only performed well on the court but also in the awards department. First, Capt Jeff Hallam was the recipient of the “Dedication to CF Sports Award – Squash”. This award is presented to an athlete, coach, official or athletic trainer who best exemplifies the qualities of strong commitment and support to the CF Sports Program. Jeff was nominated for his dedication to the Greenwood Squash Club and for his outstanding work as chair of the annual Greenwood Invitational tournament for the last few years. Finally, the enthusiasm, team spirit and fellowship demonstrated by CPO1 Ken Mullins during the tournament were also recognized, earning him the Royal Canadian Legion Sportsmanship Award – Squash 2011. Overall, Team Atlantic players did extremely well at the 2011 Squash Nationals Championships. This would not have been possible without the help of the following individuals: Mr. Terry Sweeney, Mr. Jon Berg, Mr. Tony Hamilton and In the semi-finals for the Masters category of the CF National Squash Championship, LCdr Mike Melnychuk of the Atlantic Region plays against Lt(N) Karl Hoener of the Pacific Region. (Image: Corporal Cynthia Wilkinson, CFSTG Imagery) Mr. Isaac Habib, from Formation Halifax PSP Staff, for their outstanding logistical and continuing support.

An Open House will be held on Thursday, June 9 from 1:005:00 p.m. There will be a special storytime for kids and families after school at 3:00 p.m. and remarks from special guests will take place at 3:30 p.m. Stop by for some treats and see what the Kingston Library has to offer! On Friday, June 10 at 7:00 p.m. join Canadian bestselling mystery writer William Deverell as he discusses his latest novel, “Snow Job”. Deverell was the creator of the Canadian television series Street Legal, and has won the Dashiell Hammett Award for Literary Excellence in North American Crime Writing. Deverell’s fifteen crime novels are very realistic because he worked as a lawyer on thirty murder trials as well as hundreds of other criminal trials and has seen it all first hand. In addition to his novels, he has also written a true crime book on Robert Frisbee based on the notorious murder trial which he defended, as well as several CBC radio episodes of, “The Scales of Justice”. William Deverell lives on Pender Island, BC and his visit is made possible through a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. Lots of other great activities are planned for June at the Kingston Library including a Landscaping & Curb Appeal Workshop on Thursday, June 2 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. with Amanda Bowlby from Bowlby’s Garden & Mowing Services, a demonstration on Preparing a Great Picnic Lunch by Chef Dan on Tuesday, June 7 at 7:00 p.m., a Floral Arranging Workshop with Barb from the Atlantic Superstore on Tuesday, June 14 at 7:00 p.m., and a Cake Decorating Demonstration with Elizabeth Markey on the afternoon of June 16. On Saturday, June 18 at 1:00 p.m. you can enjoy the violin music of the Symons Family when you visit the library. Kingston is the “youngest” branch in the Annapolis Valley Regional Library system. Established in 1972, it was first housed upstairs in the former Village Commission Office on Victoria Drive. Then it moved downstairs into a new addition made specifically to house the library. It moved to its current location in the rear of the new Village Commission Office on Main Street in 1996. In 1972 the Kingston Library checked out just over 4,000 items. Last year in 2010, 27,646 were checked out! And to think some people thought that the Internet would replace public libraries. Obviously they were wrong and the numbers prove it! Everyone knows the public library loans books, movies, and magazines for adults and children, but did you know they also offer downloadable e-books and audiobooks? You can download e-books and audiobooks for free through the library’s website at www.valleylibrary.ca. Can’t find what you’re looking for on the library’s shelves? Since the Kingston Library is part of the Annapolis Valley Regional Library family of libraries, people can request books from any of their branch libraries or even from other libraries across Nova Scotia and Canada. For more information about programs and services at the Kingston Library, call 765-3631 or visit them online at www.valleylibrary.ca.

Several activities were held throughout the week to promote health & safety and this year’s theme: “What’s Your Plan”? In the true spirit of partnership, which NAOSH Week is all about, 14 Wing General Safety & 14 Wing Health Promotions united to host a Health & Safety Fair in the Annapolis Mess on Wednesday 4 May. With over 45 kiosks advertising a wide range of health & safety (H&S) products and services, exhibitors included many provincial H&S service providers as well as many of our own 14 Wings affiliated H&S disciplines. Many thanks to Mrs. Colleen Hodder and Union of National Defence Employees (UNDE) Local 80403 for sponsoring the H&S Fair snacks and refreshments. Our collective thanks to MS Lapierre, Function Coordinator and the Annapolis Mess staff for their efforts in ensuring this event was a success. To all who assisted with the set up and take down of the lounges, a sincere thank you. Wing General Safety along with Wing Health Promotions would like to acknowledge all who contributed to the success of NAOSH Week by putting on displays, and Wing imaging for their coverage of the events. By all accounts NAOSH week 2011 was a success and truly reflective of the NAOSH symbol of many hands coming together in support of a valuable cause. Although the NAOSH week curtain has fallen for another year it remains paramount that we remain vigilant in our commitment to health & safety and continually ensure we always plan for safety in all tasks we undertake. “What’s Your Plan”? 14 Wing Air Force Triathlon Submitted by: Captain (Capt) Denis Choquette Village of Kingston EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY SEASONAL PUBLIC WORKS POSITION The 14 Wing Air Force Triathlon will be held on 19 June 2011 right here on base.

Do you have questions or would like more information about the deployment process and ways to handle deployment stress? If you answered “Yes” to any of the above questions then come join us on Wednesday, June 1st from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the GMFRC for our Family Stress Management of Deployment. We know that deployment can be a stressful time for all members of the family and we want to help make this time go as smoothly as possible. This will be a great opportunity to learn helpful ways to help children through deployment, ways to communicate effectively with your deployed loved one, as well as coping techniques and ways to avoid deployment stress. Many of the topics that will be discussed will be very similar to the topics that your deploying loved one received in their training prior to their deployment. It has been found that families who received the same information concerning deployment stress and coping techniques felt more unified during the deployment and were better able to successfully navigate their family separation. So come join us on June 1st to receive this valuable information! Light snacks will be provided. To register for this activity or for more information call 765-5611 before Friday May 27, 2011. Gestion du stress pour les familles de militaires déployés Soumis par : Amy Snow, Coordonnatrice des services de déploiement du CRFMG, 765-1494 poste 5583 ou par courriel à [email protected] Votre conjoint se prépare en vue d’un déploiement, est actuellement déployé ou sera bientôt de retour à la maison ? Vous avez des questions ou aimeriez obtenir plus d’informations concernant le processus de déploiement et les façons de composer avec le stress ? Si vous avez répondu « Oui If you want to drink ~ That is your business If you want to stop drinking ~ We can help. » à l’une de ces questions, nous vous invitons à venir assister au séminaire sur la Gestion du stress pour les familles de militaires déployés le mercredi 1er juin de 11 h à 13 h au CRFMG. Nous savons que le déploiement est une période qui peut s’avérer stressante pour les membres de la famille et nous voulons que vous viviez cette période le plus harmonieusement possible. Ceci est une belle opportunité de découvrir des moyens utiles pour aider les enfants à vivre un déploiement, des façons de communiquer efficacement avec votre proche parti au loin ainsi que des techniques pour éviter le stress lié au déploiement. Plusieurs des sujets qui seront abordés seront très similaires à ceux entretenus par votre proche déployé lors de sa formation pré-déploiement. Il a été établi que les familles qui reçoivent la même information, concernant le stress lié au déploiement et les techniques pour mieux le gérer, se sentent plus unis pendant le déploiement et traversent cette période de séparation familiale avec plus de succès. Venez nous rejoindre le 1er juin pour recevoir ces précieuses informations. Un léger goûter sera servi. Pour vous inscrire à cette activité ou pour plus d’informations, appeler au 765-5611 avant vendredi le 27 mai 2011.
