We supported operations, our people and we started infrastructure projects that will sustain the wing for NO CHARGE years to come. We’ve also had an awful lot of fun.” Irvine specifically mentioned an increased awareness on the wing of the impact annual Combined Charities work has on the community: $90,000plus in 2011, and $127,000plus in 2012. He thanked community partner leaders present for their support of base personnel: “it does not go unnoticed.” Operationally, he called Greenwood the proven “go- Sergeant Pete Nicholson, 14 Wing Photojournalist 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston: “We will 14 Wing Greenwood hosted its work as a team to nd 2 Sunset Ceremony August 7, a overcome the many challenges we face.” resounding success with perfect Corporal J.Therrien, 14 Wing Imaging summer weather. The Sunset Ceremony is one of the many Canadian military traditions that play an integral role in the Canadian Armed Forces, making us proud and strong. Historically, the ceremony marked the end of the service day and closing of the gates of a walled city.

Upon completion of the 14 Wing bands’ serenade, a 413 Transport and Rescue Squadron CH149 Cormorant helicopter made an appearance, demonstrating its agility and grace as it saluted the crowd with two flypasts while the Royal Canadian Navy’s Stadacona Band marched on for its performance. The Stadacona Band was later joined by the Bridgewater and 14 Wing brass and reed bands; all the pipers then returned and joined 14 Wing Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston for the sunset salute. During the lowering of the national flag, a CC130 Hercules from 413 Squadron honoured the country with two flypasts, one during the massed bands’ Amazing Grace. The event came to a close with the haunting resonance of a lone piper forewarning lights out for this year’s Sunset Ceremony. As part of the event, the base’s Wing Charities committee hosted a BBQ and 50/50 draw, both a success: $989.45 was collected at the BBQ freewill offering, and the 50/50 brought in $190 total. Scotiabank in Greenwood will match the $1,084.45 total, to bring the sum to $2168.90.

Félicitations, colonel Irvine, pour votre grande réussite. » a-t-il ajouté. Le colonel Huddleston est heureux de revenir à Greenwood, où il a fait « ses premières armes en tant que pilote » alors qu’il n’était « encore qu’un novice ». « Jim Irvine me laisse des aviateurs, mais aussi quelques soldats et membres de la Marine optimistes, tournés vers l’avenir et pleins d’ardeur au travail.

The deployment to Canada’s North was not just a show and tell, but a working trip as well. In support of Operation QIMMIQ, the CP140 conducts routine patrols of the Arctic at various times throughout the year. After leaving Iqaluit, the crew paid a visit to various communities stretching from Rankin Inlet, Crowds turned out in Iqaluit for a July 9 display of regular Northern aircraft visitors. Nunavut to Yellowknife, North West Territories. Enjoying some downtime and a bit of the plus-25 degree sunny weather in Yellowknife led the crew to a fortunate meeting with a Canadian aviation legend and true pioneer of the Aurora fleet; Colonel (or as he prefers, Captain (Navy)) David Tate, now retired. Tate joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1950, starting a long and illustrious career in aviation flying the Hawker Sea Fury. Graduation from the Empire Test Pilot School in Wiltshire, England came with a posting to Cold Lake, Alberta. Not very many pilots nowadays can say they wore metal boot spurs to their aircraft, but Tate was one of these frontline, elite airmen. The boot spurs were connected to the ejection seat and, required when flying the CF104 Starfighter. If you had to “punch out,” they ensured your legs joined you for the ride.

He was on board the first CP140 delivered to Greenwood and, when the final Aurora left the Lockheed assembly plant for Canada, Tate followed with it, retiring in 1981 after having served 31 years and having flown 55 different aircraft types.

I started here, and I needed to know what Aldershot was doing now.” What he found was a great opportunity to get the message out about what Camp Aldershot is: home for several traditional, Nova Scotian Reserve regiments, a summer training centre for the Canadian Army and Major Troy Kennedy knew coming in as commander of Camp Aldershot he wouldn’t get to stay forever: he leaves the place where he first trained 25 years ago August 20.

Support the advertisers that stand behind your military DND file In the last few years, nonglamourous but essential infrastructure improvements have been made in the camp’s waste water treatment system, the range control building and a few other site buildings, classroom refurbishing, quarters for summer staff and a new obstacle course. “Sometimes we didn’t get what we wanted, but we got what we needed. We have the plans in place, we’re flexible – and it can’t all work.” This was Kennedy’s first command job, “and it was absolutely the best job ever. “We’re complicated, yes, and I didn’t get to do everything. Did I leave enough to last as a legacy? I don’t know, but morale is good, life is interesting and I’ve had a blast. “I was the right guy at the right time in the right place – and I wanted this job. It’s bittersweet to leave.” Tout sur Aldershot Le major Kennedy quitte le commandement d’une structure « compliquée » de l’Armée Sara Keddy, Rédactrice en chef Format Field Low Gross, Field Low Net, 3 division, 1st and 2nd Low Gross and Low Net in each. Calloway division minimum 1st through 6th placing (prizes for two mystery holes) people that live within a halfmile of the camp, and have no idea what we do other than make loud noises and shine lights in the sky at night! I urge people to go downtown in their uniform, we’ve held open houses, we earned the keys to the Town of Kentville last year, and supported community events like Relay for Life, Special Olympics and others; we’ve had radio spots featuring our people. I’ve worked hard - and I said I was going to do it - to get the message out here about Camp Aldershot.” Kennedy knows Aldershot is a great resource – “and we’re recognized. “There will always be people who look at the bottom line but, the reality is, we have 11,000 people go through here every year – there are 600 people in camp today alone.” With about 80 regular staff, Kennedy manages the needs of all these “customers.” While the camp is maintained by CFB Greenwood, all its operations run through Kennedy’s office. On pourrait reprocher au major Troy Kennedy d’être excessivement satisfait et fier de son équipe du Camp Aldershot, mais il assume et avoue adorer les clichés. « C’est génial d’être roi! » Le major Kennedy quittera, en août, le camp où il est arrivé en avril 2010, toutefois, sa relation avec le camp remonte à bien plus longtemps. « Je suis né à Annapolis Royal, j’ai étudié à l’Université Acadia et j’étais basé ici en 1986 avec le West Nova Scotia Regiment. C’est ici que j’ai fait mes premiers pas. Il fallait que je sache ce qu’était devenu Aldershot. » Le major Kennedy a trouvé une occasion idéale de faire savoir ce qu’était vraiment le Camp Aldershot, à savoir la base d’attache de plusieurs régiments traditionnels de la Réserve en Nouvelle-Écosse, un centre d’instruction d’été pour l’Armée canadienne et les cadets, une école internationale pour les officiers, un terrain d’entraînement pour la Marine royale canadienne, la GRC et divers corps de police, et un point d’ancrage – modeste mais indispensable – pour le Secteur de l’Atlantique et pour l’Armée canadienne. « Il y a des centaines de personnes qui vivent à moins d’un kilomètre du camp et qui n’ont aucune idée de ce que nous faisons, à part émettre des bruits assourdissants et éclairer le ciel la nuit! Je pousse nos gens à aller en ville en uniforme, nous avons organisé des opérations portes ouvertes, nous avons obtenu les clés de la ville de Kentville l’année dernière et nous appuyons les événements communautaires comme le Relay for Life et les Jeux olympiques spéciaux, entre autres. Nos gens ont aussi participé à des émissions de radio. J’ai travaillé très fort – j’avais dit que je le ferais – pour faire connaître le Camp Aldershot dans la région. » Le major Kennedy sait que le Camp Aldershot est une structure précieuse. « Et nous sommes reconnus à notre juste valeur » affirme-t-il. « Il y a toujours quelqu’un qui ne voit que l’aspect financier mais, dans les faits, pas moins de 11 000 personnes passent ici chaque année. Rien qu’aujourd’hui, il y a 600 personnes. » Avec un effectif permanent de 80 personnes, le major Kennedy répond aux besoins de tous ces « clients ». Le camp est dirigé par la BFC Greenwood mais toutes ses opérations sont gérées par le bureau du major Kennedy. Ces dernières années, des améliorations – peu flamboyantes mais essentielles – ont été apportées au système de traitement des eaux usées, au bâtiment de contrôle du champ de tir et à plusieurs autres bâtiment du camp; les salles de cours et les locaux destinés au personnel l’été ont été rénovées, et un nouveau parcours à obstacles a été aménagé. « Nous n’avons pas toujours ce que nous voulons, mais nous avons obtenu ce dont nous avions besoin. Nous avons nos plans mais nous savons nous adapter. On ne peut pas tout avoir. » Ce commandement était le premier du major Kennedy et le « meilleur emploi de toute [sa] carrière ». « C’est compliqué, c’est sûr; je n’ai pas pu tout faire. Laisserai-je une marque assez durable au Camp Aldershot? Je ne sais pas, mais le moral est bon, la vie y est agréable et je me suis vraiment “éclaté” ». « J’étais la personne qu’il fallait, et je me suis trouvé au bon endroit, au bon moment. Et je voulais ce poste. C’est avec un pincement au cœur que je pars. » the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS Page 5 August 12, 2013 PERI reunion ready for Kingston George McGarry More than 150 former and retired PERIs (Physical Education and Recreation Instructors) and guests from all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces will gather at the Kingston Legion for a three-day reunion August 22 to 24.

On-line guest book may be signed by visiting: www.middletonfuneralhome.com Branch ‘family’ has new CO Sara Keddy, Managing editor Lieutenant-Colonel Heber Gillam may be a hard act to follow as 14 Wing Greenwood’s wing administration officer, but whether it’s in his professional role, part of the commanding officer’s informal band, the Wing Nuts; or as part of an extended “family” of branch agencies is difficult to say. Gillam turned his duties over to incoming Wing Administration Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Ted Cosstick July 17 in a change of appointment ceremony in the Annapolis Mess. He kept an infamous box of tissues at hand: “there is a myth there is a Kleenex box on my desk, and if you enter my office, someone is going to cry. Let’s see if this is true today.” Wing Administration looks after all areas of support for a military member and her family, from pay and claims while on official duties to health, fitness, childcare, the library, financial services, day camp, housing and much more. “Our diversity is our strength,” Gillam said. “If it needed to be done, we did it, Out-going 14 Wing Administration Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Herber Gillam, right, hands the keys to a range of base facilities under his responsibility to new Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Ted Cosstick. S.Wilson, 14 Wing Imaging making operations front and centre.” He went on to thank the wider community, as his role also includes representing the base on local health, business and development boards. “You opened my eyes to the connections and communications between a base and a community.” Interaction with the various unions representing 14 Wing civilian staff taught him “about the benefit of open and honest communications.” He acknowledged pushing his own staff hard, but “you’re awesome. You made me proud to come to work everyday, knowing we’d be supporting the wing.” 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Jim Irvine described Wing Administration’s work as “crucial. “The quality of life in Greenwood is second to none in the Canadian Armed Forces, and I have a deep respect and profound admiration for all your work. Lieutenant-Colonel Gillam demanded top results, he was a caring boss and knew to look for the best value for money – but the best support for families in the end.” Cosstick said, in all of his pre-command orientation briefings, tours, reports and meetings, it was clear what ties Wing Administration together: “words like ‘support,’ ‘provide,’ ‘help,’ ‘sustain,’ ‘offer,’ ‘deliver’ – it is very evident the principal element in each section is ‘enabling.’ Sections and staff, through their good work, enable operations and the wing commander to meet his mandate.” La Branche des services « Famille » a un nouveau commandant Sara Keddy, Rédactrice en chef Le lieutenant-colonel Heber Gillam peut être difficile à égaler en tant qu’officier d’administration de la 14e escadre Greenwood, que ce soit dans ses fonctions professionnelles, comme membre de l’orchestre informel des commandants, les « Wing Nuts », ou comme membre de la « famille » élargie des agences de la Branche. Gillam a été remplacé par le nouvel officier d’administration de l’escadre, le lieutenant-colonel Ted Cosstick, le 17 juillet, lors d’une cérémonie de passation de pouvoirs, tenue dans le mess Annapolis. Au cours de la cérémonie, Gillam tenait à la main une boîte de papiers-mouchoirs : « il existe un mythe selon lequel il y aurait une boîte de Kleenex sur mon bureau et que si vous entrez dans mon bureau, quelqu’un va pleurer. Voyons si c’est cas aujourd’hui ». L’administration de l’escadre s’occupe de tous les services d’aide et de soutien aux militaires et à leurs familles, notamment la solde et les réclamations pour les militaires en service, la santé, la condition physique, la garde d’enfants, la bibliothèque, les services financiers, le camp de jour, le logement et bien d’autres services. « Notre diversité est notre force. Lorsque cela était nécessaire, nous l’avions fait, en mettant les opérations au premier plan », a affirmé Gillam. Il a ensuite remercié la collectivité dans son ensemble, car ses fonctions comprennent également le rôle de représentant de la base au sein des comités locaux de santé, des affaires et du développement. « Vous m’avez ouvert les yeux sur les liens et les communications entre la base et la collectivité ». Grâce à l’interaction avec divers syndicats représentant le personnel civil de la 14e escadre, il en sait plus sur « les avantages des communications ouvertes et honnêtes ». Il a admis qu’il poussait fort les membres de son personnel, mais « vous êtes fantastiques. Grâce à vous, je suis fier de venir chaque jour au travail, en sachant que nous allons soutenir l’escadre ». Le colonel Jim Irvin, commandant de la 14 e Escadre Greenwood, a estimé que le travail de l’administration de l’escadre était « crucial ». « La qualité de vie à Greenwood est inégalée dans les Forces armées canadiennes, et j’ai un respect et une ad- miration profondes pour tout votre travail. Le lieutenant-colonel Gillam a demandé des résultats supérieurs, certes il était un patron attentionné et savait optimiser les ressources – mais il était, en définitive, le meilleur soutient des familles ». Cosstick a affirmé que, dans tous ses briefings, visites, rapports et réunions d’orientation préparatoire au commandement, ce qui unissait l’administration de l’escadre était clair : « des mots comme « soutenir », « fournir », « aider », « assurer la pérennité », « offrir », « livrer » – il est très évident que l’élément principal de chaque section est « assurer ». Les sections et le personnel, grâce leur bon travail, assurent les opérations et permettent au commandant de l’escadre de remplir son mandat ». the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS Page 7 August 12, 2013 Take in a ‘mega’ whale watching trip The 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre has arranged a family trip to Brier Island for a “mega” whale watching tour August 24.

Excursion d’observation de baleines à bord du Mega Nova Le Centre communautaire de la 14e Escadre Greenwood a prévu une excursion familiale à l’île Brier, le 24 août, pour aller observer les baleines à bord du Mega Nova.

At the request of Kingston Fire Chief Watson Armstrong, 14 Wing Greenwood Fire and Emergency Services also responded with a five-man crew manning one of its 12,000 litre aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicles, as well as its incident command vehicle; to support the many volunteer firefighters in keeping the flames consuming the old wooden building from spreading to surround- ing buildings, including the village’s Lions’ hall and Legion and the Frasers commercial complex. Additional firefighters were called in to ensure the wing, its workforce and residents were properly protected during this emergency. “The Kingston Fire Department led a very successful defensive attack, which limited the damage to only the warehouse, and none of the adjacent structures that were in very close proximity suffered any appreciable damage,” said 14 Wing Fire Chief Captain Bruce Paradis. “We used the large water volume of our truck, coupled with the deployable boom and the capacity to move while pumping large volumes Page 9 August 12, 2013 of water, to suppress the fire in the western area of the structure.” Although a tremendous effort was put forth by the many departments that responded, the entire structure was razed. Heavy equipment was brought in to tear down the remaining structure. “Under a pre-arranged agreement with the wing and local Valley fire departments, our firefighters were extremely proud to work along side the many volunteer firefighters to battle this fire as a team and keep it from spreading,” said Paradis. “Other than our five that responded, all the rest were volunteer - and some were still on scene 12 hours later. That’s community dedication.” 14 Wing Greenwood Fire and Emergency Services’ aircraft firefighting and incident command vehicles were both part of the response team working overnight in Kingston July 29 and 30 on a major warehouse blaze. The wing department is part of the Valley’s mutual aid system. Brian Taylor &KHFNRXUZHEVLWH IRUGHWDLOV Support the advertisers that stand behind your military DND file 3$< 3/$< 12 DAYS ONLY HURRY!

Nijmegan march an ‘experience’ Sara Keddy, Managing editor Great, an experience – but tough. A few words can’t begin to describe the experience of 14 Wing Greenwood’s Nijmegan marching team July 16 through 19 in Holland, but Lieutenant Gillian Kelland adds “well-prepared. “It was a lot of work, a huge commitment two or three days a week for five months. We sacrificed our time and supervisors re-organized work schedules all along The 14 Wing Greenwood Nijmegan marchers hit the road on one day of four 40-kilometre, back-to-back marches. the chain of command – a huge effort from Greenwood helped us.” The team in training did Fresh Curds | Cheese from Fromagerie La Chaudiere Lac-Megantic Holmestead Cheese Open for sales at 2439 Harmony Road, Aylesford, Exit 16 Specializing in Feta cheese, Fresh Ricotta Cheese, Sheep's Milk Cheeses, X-Virgin Kalamata Olives and Olive Oils, Fancy-stuffed olives, specialty Phyllo pastry pies and pastries, as well as new locally produced Maple Syrups and Fair Trade Organic Coffee.

The Nijmegan challenge is four 40-kilometre, back-to-back marches. “It was great – the weather, it was so hot and sunny. Tough, but everyone from our team made it through. That last day was tough. No matter about the blisters and the pain – everything still hurts.” Kelland credits amazing hospitality in the support camps every night, including inflatable kiddie pools of cold water waiting to soak feet fresh out of marching boots. Eleven Greenwood personnel represented 14 Wing, and another marched with a London, Ontario military team While the Canadian military has marched in Nijmegan since 1952, using the challenge as a memorial for First and Second world war soldiers, the Dutch army has been training with the Nijmegan route since 1909. Over 40,000 marchers from 50 nations enter the annual challenge. “It was really great to be recognized as Canadian everywhere we went,” says Kelland. “People just yelled out at us, and we had flags and pins to pass out. The last five kilometres, all the Canadian teams met and were presented with our Nijmegan medals, and then we all finished together, all in ranks down the Via Gladiola. Everyone was there, all the spectators bring glads and you carry them with you and in your rucksack. It was a huge party.” Canadian Armed Forces Nijmegan marchers took a break on two occasions to hold memorial services at Vimy Ridge (above) and the Groesbeek cemetery. 14 Wing Greenwood marcher Lieutenant Gillian Kelland says the services were “an experience. Remembrance Day services home are always pretty powerful, but you don’t ever see the graves…. They were so well taken care of, just picture perfect.” DND photos the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS Page 13 August 12, 2013 Volunteers needed for Terry Fox Run Eric MacKenzie, Community Recreation Coordinator The 33rd Terry Fox Run in Greenwood is September 13.

The event marks an important part of MP&EU’s calendar, providing the opportunity to down tools, develop professional relationships and reflect on the past year’s projects. Perhaps most importantly, the event embodies the spirit of MP&EU’s mantra, Novam Quaere Scientiam, or “To seek new knowledge.” RETERN 2013 was held July 26 and 27, kicking off in the Birchall Centre’s main theatre with a full day of briefings. Outgoing Commanding Officer Major Kurt Lalonde welcomed attendees from across Canada, promising a full schedule and encouraging an open discussion. Representatives from industry talked about their dayto-day operations, providing some insight into the challenges of supporting the CP140 modernization and life extension. Some exciting developments in radar and acoustic technology were presented, and the prospect of getting to test some of the new equipment in the future stirred excitement among MP&EU project officers. The sheer number of developments in the pipeline shows other nations are also investing time and money into the development of their long range patrol assets. July 27 was an opportunity to stretch the legs, with MP&EU’s annual RETERN invitational golf tournament and BBQ. Nearly 60 people signed up to play a round of golf at the Greenwood Golf Course. The event culminated in awards presentations and the finest steak and lobster Nova Scotia has to offer. A truly great event, both professionally and recreationally, event OPI Captain Martin Labbé and his team pass on their thanks to the Greenwood Golf club and its staff for hosting such an excellent event. 74 Commercial Street P.O.
