Island exercise ‘unbelievable’ experience
Warrant Officer
Conrad Cowan,
413 Squadron Search
& Rescue Leader
14 Wing Greenwood’s
413 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron was recently afforded a very unique
challenge by Parks Cana-
da, through a pre-disaster
planning and emergency
response exercise with Parks
Canada staff on Sable Island.
The concept was simple:
conduct live parachute descents to Sable Island in
adverse weather conditions
from a Hercules aircraft; provide long-term casualty care
and then evacuate casualties
by a Cormorant helicopter.
In reality, the 42 kilometre
long and one kilometre wide
crescent-shaped island is
located 300 kilometres off the
coast of Nova Scotia, accessible only by private air charter or vessel - and shrouded
in fog on a good day. In ad-
dition to flooding and severe
coastal storms, there is a
high level of risk from wind
events and the threat of destruction from storm surge.
Four Greenwood search and
rescue technicians pressed
on, determined to complete
the mission package and
conduct their own survival
training and pattern: first aid,
fire, shelter, signals, food and
water and travel.
“It was an unbelievable experience parachuting over the
sand dunes, the grey seals,
bird colonies and wild horses. We were keenly aware
the island is vulnerable to
disturbances, and only trod
Six Royal Canadian Navy
warships have sailed from
Halifax to participate in a task
group exercise off the Canadian Atlantic coast November
25 to December 6.
“This task group exercise
will have the added value of
being a part of NORAD Exercise Amalgam Dart, proving
interoperability between the
Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal
Canadian Air Force and the U.S.
Air Force,” said Rear-Admiral
John Newton, Commander
Maritime Forces Atlantic.
RCN units participating include Her Majesty’s Canadian
ships Iroquois, Ville de Québec, Halifax, Fredericton and
Kingston; and Her Majesty’s
Canadian submarine Windsor.
The ships will be supported by
CH124 Sea King helicopters
from 12 Wing Shearwater.
The Royal Canadian Air
Force will participate December 3 to 5 with a CC130 Hercules from 8 Wing Trenton,
a CP140 Aurora long-range
patrol aircraft from 14 Wing
Greenwood and CF188 Hornets from 3 Wing Bagotville,
augmented by personnel from
22 Wing North Bay.

Submitted
Sable sights...
...cover
on the Parks Canada designated areas of beach,” said
SAR-Tech Master Corporal
Kent Stanway.
With Sable Island now
Canada’s 43rd national park,
expecting an influx of visitors, it was important to test
all stakeholders’ concepts of
emergency response and enhance interoperability, flight
planning, situational awareness and decision-making
processes.
“Placing pre-disaster planning at the forefront is an
important component of
pre-disaster implementation.
It involves exercising the plan
and training staff for their
respective disaster roles. The
disaster recovery literature
clearly demonstrates populations that are better prepared recover more quickly,”
said Warrant Officer Conrad
Cowan, SAR-Tech leader.
Operational advantages
extended throughout a range
of operations during this
exercise: aircrews used their
flight planning and oil rig
platform landings to mutual
air support across ocean expanses; the SAR-Techs made
efficient and effective use of
disaster and emergency best
practices; and, Parks Canada
will develop a more sustainable and disaster-resilient
island, atmospheric monitoring station and staff.
14 Wing Greenwood has established a Wing Information
Line at 765-1765 local 1765.
The Wing Information Line will advise callers on the
current status of 14 Wing during extreme weather activity,
which will enable personnel to determine the current wing
manning status (normal, minimum or essential personnel
only). The information line will also advise which access
gates may be closed to allow for the clearing of roads
and parking lots.
This service is provided through an auto attendant
recording, which will be updated as
required. A recorded message
stating “Operations Normal”
indicates 14 Wing is
functioning under
standard practices.
Other recorded messages
will detail any changes to
the wing status.

December 6 at Solenzara Air
Force Base in Corsica, France,
to exercise its air expeditionary capability as well as
increase professional bonds
with NATO allies’ air forces.
“The RCAF participation in
Serpentex demonstrates our
commitment to collaborating
and cooperating with our international allies,” said MajorGeneral Pierre St.-Amand,
Commander, 1 Canadian Air
Division, November 22. “Serpentex provides the RCAF
with a realistic, comprehensive and multinational training
environment that we could not
replicate on our own.”
The RCAF will send six
CF188 Hornets from 4 Wing
Cold Lake and one CP140
Aurora from 14 Wing Greenwood, which will be based
at Sigonella, Italy. Participation will be supported with
transportatiuon support from
a CC130J Hercules from
8 Wing Trenton, air-to-air
refuelling and transportation
support from a CC150 Polaris
from 8 Wing and transportation support from a CC177
Globemaster III, based in
Trenton.
The 195-member RCAF
team will exercise all operational and logistical facets of
deploying an air task force
overseas, including close
air support capability, combined air operations training,
strategic air-to-air refuelling,
intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance; strategic
(long-range) airlift, planning
and execution of deployed
operations and establishing a
deployed combat operations
centre.
Essential communication
support will be provided by
both 8 Air Communications
and Control Squadron from
8 Wing and 2 Air Expeditionary Squadron from 2 Wing
Bagotville. While aircraft will
come from across the country, the leadership cadre and
the logistical support will be
provided by 2 Wing. Formed
in June 2012, 2 Wing, based
in Bagotville, Quebec, is a
deliberate, high readiness
capability comprised of an
operational, command and
control, logistical and support structure.

enough to run the food bank

Please remember to participate, and our thanks in

As winter arrives, 14 Wing
Greenwood defence team
members are reminded weather and road conditions can
quickly become unpredictable
and 31 Military Police Flight
would like to remind motorists
to stay alert, slow down - and
stay in control.
Clear your vehicle of snow
and ice, from all windows,
lights and the roof. This will
ensure better visibility for the
driver, and prevent flying snow
from obstructing the sight of
other drivers.
If you become stuck or
stranded, it is important to
remember:
• Don’t panic. Stay with your
vehicle for warmth and
safety. Contact emergency
services for help.
• If you have to get out of your
vehicle while on a busy road,
do so using the door away
from traffic, if possible.
• Draw attention to your vehicle by using traffic cones,
flares or a “Call Police” sign.
Use your motor sparingly.
For fresh air, open a window
away from the wind. Periodically check your exhaust

pipe to ensure snow has not
piled around it.
• If you attempt to free your
vehicle, do so safely. Do not
over exert yourself. Clothes
are warmest when dry; over
exerting yourself will cause
your clothes to become
damp with perspiration.
• In blizzard conditions, ensure one person in the vehicle stays awake. Help may
take a long time to arrive.
Another great idea is to
have a winter maintenance
check-up done on your vehicle, including having your
tires checked. Keep your vehicle’s fuel tank above half
full throughout the winter in
order to better deal with any
emergencies that may arise.
Above all, drive according
to the weather and road conditions for the best chance of
having a safe and enjoyable
winter season.
Searchers

from 14 Wing Greenwood
helped look for two overdue
hunters around the Sanigut
Islands near Pangnirtung,
Nunavut, November 24.
Nunavut Search and Rescue
asked the Canadian Armed
Forces to search the area at
9:16 p.m. The RCAF sent nine
members on a CC130 Hercules from 413 Squadron in
Greenwood and a Cormorant
helicopter from Gander.
The hunters were located
more than 50 kilometres away:
they had caught a walrus and
were preparing it to bring
home.
Joint Task Force Atlantic
called off the search when the
men made it home safely.

Day marks ‘diversabilities’
Valley resources ready to serve 14 Wing family
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
What are your “diversabilities?”
Everyone has variations in
their own abilities and disabilities - whether they’re seen
or unseen or permanent or
temporary, says Lieutenant-
Colonel Mike Adamson, 14
Wing Greenwood’s Champion
for Persons with Disabilities.
December 3 marks International Day for Persons with
Disabilities, and Adamson’s
role is to ensure “we look at
increased awareness.” Along
with Combined Advisory
Group civilian co-chair Rita
Jardine and military co-chair
Captain Min Kim, this year’s
awareness efforts are “twopronged.
“We want to get the word
out about differences here in
our workforce, and also that
there is assistance for families and dependents.”
Adamson attended the an-
nual Valley Tools for Life
Conference earlier this fall, a
multi-day event showcasing
vendors, resources, information, equipment and programs all meant to support
people with disabilities.
“The Valley has phenomenal resources, from transportation to health care services,
Journée des « divershabilités »
and I wanted to make sure
those organizations knew
about our Wing Welcome
event and the opportunity
they have to reach our families. They all did, and there
should be no one here associated with 14 Wing sitting
home, wondering ‘I don’t
know what to do.’”
A number of 14 Wing sections – Health Promotion,
Health Services, the Military
Family Resource Centre and
several others – have solid
links with Valley-based resources, and Adamson urges
anyone looking for supports
or information to contact
staff.
Les ressources de la Vallée au service des familles de la 14e Escadre
Sara Keddy,
rédactrice en chef
Quelles sont vos « divershabilités »?
« Nous présentons tous
des variations d’aptitudes
et d’inaptitudes – que nous
soyons visibles ou invisibles,
permanents ou temporaires »,
affirme le lieutenant-colonel Mike Adamson, champion
de la cause des personnes
handicapées de la 14e Escadre
Greenwood.
Le 3 décembre marque la
Journée internationale des
personnes handicapées. À
cet égard, Adamson travaille
en collaboration avec Rita
Jardine, coprésidente civile
du Groupe consultatif combiné
de l’escadre, et le Capt Min
Kim, coprésident militaire du
Groupe consultatif combiné
de l’escadre, afin d’« assurer
une sensibilisation accrue ».
Ces efforts de sensibilisation
comportent deux volets.
« Nous voulons véhiculer
le message au sujet des différences au sein de nos effectifs
et dire également qu’il y a de
l’aide pour les familles et les
personnes à charge ».
Au début de l’automne,
Adamson a pris part à la conférence annuelle « Tools for
Life » de la Vallée, un évènement de plusieurs jours qui
permet aux participants d’en
savoir plus sur les fournisseurs, les ressources, l’information, l’équipement et les
programmes destinés à aider
les personnes handicapées.
« La Vallée dispose de ressources phénoménales, allant
des services de transport aux
services de soins de santé, et
je voulais m’assurer que ces
organismes sont au courant de
la Semaine d’accueil de l’Escadre et de l’occasion qu’ils ont
de rencontrer les familles de la
14e Escadre Greenwood. Ils le
savent tous, et aucun membre
de la 14e Escadre ne peut restez à la maison, en se disant ‘je
ne sais pas quoi faire’ ».
Certaines sections de la
14e Escadre – Promotion de
la santé, Service de santé, le
Centre de ressources pour
les familles des militaires et
plusieurs autres – ont des liens
solides avec les ressources de
la Vallée, et Adamson exhorte
toutes les personnes qui ont
besoin d’aide ou d’information à communiquer avec le
personnel.

Modern art showcases
LRP advancements in
OP MOBILE
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
The face of 14 Wing Greenwood’s modern long range
patrol work can now be seen
as part of the art collection
held by the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum.
The Greenwood Art Association recently presented a painting commemorating the 2011
deployment of the Royal Canadian Air Force with Operation
MOBILE, the United Nations
action in Libya. Major Derrick
Hotte, an air combat systems
officer with Long Range Patrol
SET, is profiled in the work as
the detachment commander
for Rotation 0. Greenwood
supplied subsequent rotations
of dozens of personnel from
405 and 14 Air Maintenance
squadrons, Wing Operations,
Wing Administration and Wing
Logistics and Engineering.
“We received word something was coming on a Friday,
we started planning to go
on Sunday and we got word
Thursday – ‘You’re going, and
you’re going today,’” Hotte
says of the move to get the
Canadian contingent in the
air. “We took off and we didn’t
even know where we were
going to land until we were
halfway across the Atlantic.”
From there, Hotte led a
just-established deployment
mission support centre into
operational readiness in less
than two days. The Canadian

the first representation of
the Aurora era. The painting
also is important in that it

only two-year-old history. Being current encourages and

of his “Down Under” service.
Page, the Australian Air
Attache in Ottawa, was in
Greenwood November 21
to see more of the P3 Orion
aircraft – known as the Royal
Canadian Air Force’s Aurora,
and compare its long range
patrol work to his own nation’s. Saber, an exchange

Air Force shows ‘top guns’ flying good time
Captain Jeremy Simmonds,
405 Long Range
Patrol Squadron
September 28 and 29, 405
Long Range Patrol Squadron
participated in a charity event in
Windsor, Ontario in support of
the Windsor Regional Hospital.
The event was called Top Guns!
Kids with Cancer Take Flight,
part of Windsor Regional’s
efforts to raise awareness for
childhood cancers. September
was Childhood Cancer Aware-
ness Month, and this event
was the culmination of activities that included a visit to the
hospital by members of the
Snowbirds and Commander
Chris Hadfield.
The Top Guns! event consisted of static displays, airplane and helicopter rides, and
many other fun activities. This
was a free, private event for
cancer patients and their families. All of the aircraft services,
food and accommodations for
participants were donated by
local businesses.
For the static display, 405
LRP Squadron provided a
Block II Aurora. In addition, the
static display also consisted of
a CF18 from 425 Squadron in
Bagotville, a CT155 Hawk from
15 Wing Moose Jaw, and a
CH146 Griffon from Petawawa.
Airplane rides were provided by
members of the Windsor Flying
Club, which had over a dozen
aircraft flying nonstop until the
weather closed in.
The event was a huge success. Close to 400 people were
in attendance, and the 405
crew was kept busy answering
questions and showing people
around the aircraft. It was clear
the strong Royal Canadian Air
Force presence was greatly
appreciated. All of the RCAF
members who participated in
the event were appreciative of
the warm welcome given by the
organizers and visitors.
Captain Andrew Newton
of 405 Squadron explains
to young cancer survivors
the tasks the Aurora accomplishes.

14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain

14 Wing flight safety officer, with a certificate

15 in the 14 Wing Greenwood headquarters’
conference room.
Nestled behind the CH113 Labrador
helicopter, CT133 Silver Star jet trainer/
combat support aircraft and the CP107 Argus
aircraft, the QUAD radar display is the latest
addition to the Greenwood Military Aviation
Museum’s air park. The control panel and
display scope unit is on display inside the
museum.
The Quad radar was so-called because it
was capable of four functions: aircraft height
finding, air surveillance, aircraft ground
control approach (GCA) - providing the pilot
direction, height and distance; and airport
surveillance detection. The only two functions used by the RCAF were GCA and air
surveillance. QUAD radars were designed as
air traffic control units that could be moved
wherever needed - important during crises
and war.
The QUAD radar replaced the vintage NPEN
11 radar used during the Second World War,
which was, interestingly, relied upon during
the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and 1949. During the
early period of QUAD radar use, navigation
aids were primitive and often degraded by
bad weather - when precision was most required – and fuel reserves were often less than
desired. To pilots, GCA was a God send! Not
only were the controllers outstanding in every
aspect of handling regular and emergency approaches, but they also had calm, reassuring
voices that instantly settled the nerves of the
most frightened pilot. And, in Canada’s worst
weather, few pilots were always fearless. It
would be difficult to assess the numbers of
lives and aircraft saved by GCA controllers,
The latest addition to the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum’s Air Park is the
retired QUAD Radar.

but the number would be very high.
Museum curator Bryan Nelson was an air
traffic control technician at Greenwood when
the QUAD radar was first installed in the early
1960s. One fond memory of Nelson’s was how
much easier the QUAD system was to adjust
when it was necessary to change runways.
And, from Chuck Tringle (Royal Canadian Air
Force retired: “this thing demanded numerous
maintenance hours and lots of TLC because
it was old technology during the period while
the new Precision Approach Radar (PAR) was
being built.”
Today, Greenwood has a state-of-the-art
PAR, which caused the obsolescence of the
QUAD radar in the summer of 2012.

Conseils pratiques pour expédier vos colis des Fêtes
(EN) Les préparatifs du temps
des Fêtes sont toujours laborieux,
mais ils sont nécessaires pour
assurer une période festive sans
anicroche. Toutefois, l’achat et la
livraison des cadeaux semblent
être une source importante de
stress pour la plupart des gens.
« Le magasinage des Fêtes
demande beaucoup de temps, et
parfois nous avons tendance à
précipiter les choses lorsque vient
le temps d’acheter, d’envelopper,
d’emballer et d’expédier nos
cadeaux », affirme Jim Bena,
vice-président du marketing chez UPS
Canada. « Ce genre
de situation peut
entraîner des retards de livraison
ou d’autres problèmes imprévus
d’expédition. »
Par exemple, durant la saison
des Fêtes de l’an dernier, UPS
dépassait de 80 % son volume
quotidien normal d’expédition
durant les journées extrêmement
occupées. Cela représente environ
28 millions de colis à expédier en
une seule journée. Selon M. Bena,
plusieurs de ces livraisons urgentes pourraient être évitées si les
gens suivaient certains conseils
comme ceux qui suivent :
Planifiez à l’avance – Si vous
devez expédier des cadeaux
à l’extérieur de la province ou du
pays, assurez-vous de vérifier à
quelle date ils doivent partir afin
d’arriver à temps à destination.
Consultez le site de l’expéditeur
pour vérifier les dates et les heures d’expédition.
Utilisez des boîtes de carton
neuves – Oubliez les vieilles boîtes de carton usées ou brisées.
Utilisez plutôt une boîte neuve
ou inutilisée. Essayez différents
formats de boîtes pour trouver
celle qui convient le mieux pour
emballer votre cadeau de façon
sécuritaire.
L’importance du poids – Assurez-vous de vérifier les restrictions de format et de poids sur le

Multi Addiction Centre a winner
Eighteen months ago, the
Multi Addiction Centre in North
Kingston was having problems
paying its insurance and oil
bills. Then, the community
stepped in.
Norma Hall and her committee asked if they could run card
parties every Monday night in
the hall, with all proceeds being donated to the hall. This
has been a great success. Our
annual ticket auction and yard
sale, run by Kaye and Dale
Veinot, Connie Currie, Norma Hall, Doris Glavine, Barb
Acker and their committee;
received many donations from
Kingston, North Kingston and
Middleton and, thanks to all
the people who attended, was
the best one ever. The centre
received donations from CFB
Greenwood, Leon Langille
at the Peoples 25:40 Church
and the Lawrencetown United
Baptist Church: all recognized
the good work being done at
the hall. The centre received an
anonymous donation of nearly
$4,000 and volunteers are
truly thankful, Other donations
totaled $873.25, and Wayne
Atwater and the Municipality
of Kings granted the centre
$2,000. They have always
been there when we have been
desperate.
The outside of the building was in bad shape, so we
decided to try and improve
that. Over $5,000 was spent
on blown-in insulation, and
a provincial grant and loan to
upgrade the lighting systems
will be paid off over the next
two years. The parking lot
was graveled and stumps were
removed: thanks to neighbour
Jack Marshall, who has leveled our gravel every time it
is needed.
Dave Hall and Dale Veinot

new water pump was installed

small meeting room. The back
meeting room’s roof was rusting and leaking, so we bought
the metal and Jodi, David and
Teddy Ogilvie replaced the roof
for us at no cost. Paul Parsons
at Fraser’s Pro Home Centre
helped made sure we got a
good deal on siding, and we
approached the 14 Construction Engineering Squadron in
Bridgewater to see if it could
install it as a community help
project. The squadron was
more than willing, but unable to do it until the spring.
We needed something done
now, and Dave Hall and John
England volunteered to take
on the project with help from
Dale Veinot, Jim Sotvedt, Paul
McDade, Jack Keddy, Murray
Keddy, Lawrence Freeman
and Peter Gubbins. Alan Bent
provided the staging. The
siding is about fifty per cent
finished and, if it is not, the
military has offered to finish it
in the spring.
It was decided to keep the
colours of the “little red school
house,” so the corners, window trim and facia have all
been done in red metal to
replace the paint. The metal
was all purchased from Mike
Cole at Community Metal, with
nearly $800 of it donated as
used metal.
We have not finished yet,
and we are still having people
donating time and materials.
The directors of the Multi Addiction Centre would like to
thank everyone who is helping
to make our building one we
and the community can be
proud of.

Three financial tips for young
CAF members
Pierre Goulet,
SISIP FS
Unfortunately, personal finance is not a required subject
in high school or college, so
you might be slightly in the dark
when it comes to managing your
money upon stepping out into
the real world for the first time.
In order to help you get started, we will take a look at three
essential truths about money if
you want to live comfortably and
enjoy a prosperous future:
Learn self control - The soon-
er you learn the fine art of delaying gratification, the easier it will
be for you to keep your finances
in order. While it is simple to
purchase an item on credit the
minute you want it, it may be
smarter to wait until you have
actually saved up the money.
Take control of your own
financial future - Learning how
to manage your own money
now, will prevent other people
from finding ways to mismanage it for you down the road.
Some of these people may be
well-meaning, but not know
what they are doing.
Start an emergency fund
- One of personal finance’s
oft-repeated mantras is “pay
yourself first.” No matter what
your personal situation is today,
it’s wise to find some amount
every month – no matter how
small - in your budget to put
away in an emergency fund.
When you get into the habit of
saving money and treating it
as a non-negotiable monthly
“expense,” pretty soon you will
have more than just emergency
money saved up: you may ac-
cumulate enough cash for unexpected expenses, a vacation
or even money toward the down
payment for a home.
Remember, by using these
three simple tips, you will be one
step closer to achieving your financial goals. You can also seek
the advice of a financial advisor;
they will analyze each situation
individually and provide personalized advice and recommendations, tailored to the specific
needs of each client taking into
account your particular situation
and the realities of military life.
Trois conseils financiers pour
les jeunes membres des FAC
Pierre Goulet,
Services financiers
du RARM
Malheureusement, la gestion des finances personnelles
n’est pas une matière obligatoire au niveau secondaire ou
collégial. Il se peut donc que
vous ayez un peu de mal avec
la gestion de votre argent lorsque vous faites face au monde
réel pour la première fois.
Pour vous aider à partir du
bon pied, nous allons examiner
trois vérités essentielles au
sujet de l’argent, si vous voulez
vivre confortablement et jouir
d’un avenir prospère :
Faites preuve de retenue
- Plus tôt vous apprendrez à
attendre avant de satisfaire vos
désirs, plus il vous sera facile
de bien gérer vos finances. S’il
est facile d’acheter un article
à crédit dès que vous en avez
envie, il serait peut-être plus
avisé d’attendre d’avoir l’argent nécessaire pour en faire
l’acquisition.
Prenez en main votre avenir financier - En apprenant à
gérer votre argent dès maintenant, vous éviterez que d’autres
personnes le gèrent mal à votre
place. Certaines sont peut-être
bien intentionnées, mais ne
savent pas ce qu’elles font.
Créez un fonds d’urgence
- L’un des conseils que l’on
donne très souvent en matière de finances personnelles est de se payer d’abord.
Quelle que soit votre situation
personnelle aujourd’hui, il
est sage d’épargner une certaine somme d’argent tous les
mois – aussi minime soit-elle –
pour la placer dans un fonds
d’urgence. Lorsque vous aurez
l’habitude de mettre de l’argent
de côté et de considérer cela
comme une « dépense » mensuelle non négociable, vous
ne tarderez pas à avoir plus
que l’argent nécessaire aux
dépenses d’urgence : vous
Page 17
December 2, 2013
pourriez accumuler assez
d’argent pour payer des imprévus, prendre des vacances
ou même faire un versement
initial à l’achat d’une maison.
Rappelez-vous, à l’aide de
ces conseils très simples vous
vous rapprochez de l’atteinte
de vos objectifs financiers.
Vous pouvez également solliciter l’avis d’un planificateur
financier, qui analysera chaque
situation individuellement et
vous donnera des recommandations et des conseils
personnalisés, adaptés à vos
besoins et tenant compte de
votre situation particulière et
des réalités de la vie militaire.

CAF send two
athletes to Japanese
surf rescue challenge
Captain Dugald Thomson,
ADAC
Having endured a long season of training and competition, veteran Canadian
Armed Forces CISM swimmers
Captain Stephanie Dennis
(405 Squadron, Greenwood)
and Captain Dugald Thomson
(ADAC, Halifax), would normally look forward to a short,
end-of-season break after
having completed the final
swimming event on this year’s
CAF calendar, the 2013 CISM
Lifesaving Championships in
Amsterdam.
However, rest would have
to wait: both were approached
by Lifesaving Canada to join
the national team in competing
against some of the world’s top
lifesaving athletes at the 2013
Sanyo International Surf Rescue Challenge September 19
through 23 in Onjuku Beach,
Chiba prefecture, Japan.
Supported through PSP’s
Out Service Competition program, the pair began the journey with a trans-Pacific flight
to Tokyo that crossed 12 time
zones. Both having flown long
range patrol on the CP140
Aurora, they were unfazed
and jet-lag free, and met the
Canadian team to complete
the trip to Onjuku Beach, three
hours by bus east of Tokyo on
the Pacific Ocean.
Lifesaving sport may not be
widely recognized in Canada,
possibly due to its laughable
“beach season,” but in more
sun-friendly nations such as
sudoku
solution page 20
Australia, New Zealand and
Japan, it is a popular sport
which attracts strong competitors with backgrounds in
swimming, paddling, board
sports and running. They compete in events ranging from
beach flags (a 20 metre sprint
inspired by musical chairs)
to ironman (a gruelling 400
metre swim, 600 metre board
and 800 metre surf ski, each
interspersed by 150 metre
runs). The format of the Sanyo
sees each nation entering two
competitors in every event,
and only the top finisher from
each nation earns points for his
or her country. No individual
awards are presented; rather,
competitors contribute points
towards their country’s total.
Drawing on their strengths
Captain Dugald Thomson (left) was one of two Canadian Armed Forces athletes participating in the 2013 Sanyo International Surf Rescue Challenge in Japan. Submitted
as swimmers, Dennis and
Thomson were employed by
the Canadian team as the designated swimmers, competing
in the surf race, the mixed surf
relay, the swimming leg of the
ironman relay, the swimming
leg of the board relay and the
towing leg of the rescue tube
relay. Each competed in more
than 15 races over the course
of the four-day event, and represented the Canadian Armed
Forces admirably, finishing as

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, delay your plans for the time
being. A number of unexpected
tasks that will require your undivided
attention in the coming day, so clear
your schedule.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Assume the role of the strong and
silent type this week, Taurus. You
do not have to share your opinions
with everyone, as an air of mystery
may boost your popularity.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
It can be easy to allow excitement
to overtake your logic, Gemini. But
you need to be patient and not allow
exuberance to interfere with the tasks
at hand. That is a recipe for trouble.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, a hefty workload at the
office may zap your desire to do
much else. However, don’t pass
up the opportunity when a social
engagement beckons this week.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, you will have to continue
your rather hectic pace this week,
even when you start to feel tired.
Fortunately, you are excited about
some of the things on your to-do list.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, getting involved with the
right people now opens doors that
previously may have been closed to
you. Do not squander the opportunity
to use these new contacts.

the top Canadian swimmers
and competing closely with
American and Hong Kong
athletes for team points behind
Australian, New Zealand and
Japanese powerhouses.
Aside from the thrill of toplevel competition, the camaraderie and friendships sparked
with athletes from across the
globe, the racing experience
to draw upon in future competitions and the excitement of
seeing a new and exotic land;
the highlight for Dennis and
Thomson was the opportunity
to wear the Canadian uniform
and represent Canada on a
global stage. Servicemen and
women may often find themselves taking for granted the
honour bestowed upon them
on a daily basis: to wear the Canadian flag and represent this
country for those at home and
those who have come before.
There is no greater inspiration
of pride.

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!

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, conflicting emotions arise in
the week ahead. You have the desire
to fulfill people’s expectations of you,
but you also just want some time to
yourself.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, maintaining your focus
on chores is nearly impossible
this week, when you are easily
distracted by anything else that
sounds interesting. Try to get your
work done.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Re-establish your priorities,
Sagittarius. Doing so will help you
live up to your end of the bargain on
various commitments. If necessary,
ask others for help.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Expect to be busy for the rest of the
month, Capricorn. With potential
birthday celebrations and holiday
tasks to complete, spare moments
are few and far between.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, learning a new skill this
week will only add to your already
vast repertoire of abilities. This is
one more reason to have a positive
attitude.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Emphasize feeling good about
yourself this week, Pisces. Doing so
will enable you to help others in the
near future.

Remembrance and Action
on Violence against Women
Le 6 décembre est la Journée
nationale de commémoration et
d’action contre la violence faite
aux femmes.
Instituée en 1991 par le Parlement du Canada, cette journée souligne l’anniversaire du
meurtre de 14 jeunes femmes
en 1989 à l’École polytechnique
de Montréal.
En plus de commémorer
les 14 jeunes femmes qui ont
perdu la vie à la suite d’un
acte de violence sexiste qui a
choqué la nation, le 6 décembre offre l’occasion aux Ca-
nadiennes et aux Canadiens de
réfléchir au phénomène de la
violence à l’égard des femmes
dans notre société. C’est également l’occasion de penser aux
femmes et aux jeunes filles pour
qui la violence est une réalité
quotidienne et de se souvenir de
celles qui sont mortes par suite
de la violence dirigée contre les
femmes. Enfin, cette journée
offre la possibilité aux collectivités d’envisager des mesures
concrètes afin d’éliminer toutes
les formes de violence à l’égard
des femmes et des filles.

6 represents an opportunity
for Canadians to reflect on
the phenomenon of violence
against women in our society.
It is also an opportunity to
consider the women and girls
for whom violence is a daily
reality, and to remember those
who have died as a result of
gender-based violence. And,
finally, it is a day on which
communities can consider
concrete actions to eliminate
all forms of violence against
women and girls.
