GSAR Conducts Frosted Flyer Exercise
LCol J.E. Mullins,
Wing Operations
Officer
Although
their
primary focus is the
operational mission of
rescuing downed aircrew,
the 4 Wing Ground Search
and
Rescue
(GSAR)
team provides another
important service to our
local forces: teaching
survival techniques in
the harsh climate of the
Northern Alberta winter.
The GSAR team
conducts
Exercise
Frosted Flyer every year
in January and February.
During this exercise, the
team provides winter
survival
training
to
the flying community
and others who wish
to gain experience in
cold weather survival,
cold weather first aid,
signals, gathering food
and building fires and
shelters.
This year’s Exercise
Frosted Flyer was a
huge
success.
Local
temperatures and wind
chills dropped, which
provided for realistic
survival training in the
Canadian North. Sixteen
staff and twenty-three
students participated.
The
demanding
course can accommodate
up to fifty students should
the need arise.
GSAR training is
not necessarily restricted
to the winter months.
The GSAR team also
conducts spring weekend
training for basic Search
and Rescue techniques in
conjunction with our local
civilian
counterparts.

GSAR team’s mission is
to provide 4 Wing with

unit capable of deploying

operations on minimal
notice. GSAR’s primary
focus is to search for and
rescue downed aircrew in
the Cold Lake area.
4 Wing Cold Lake is
home to five flying units
and a large international
exercise, and conducts
over seven thousand
aircraft sorties per year.
The capability that the

Climate Outlook for March 2014
Cpl Bradford
Brassington
“If March comes in
like a lion, it will go out
like a lamb.”
Is there any truth
to this saying? Weather
sayings are as colourful as
our imagination. While
many sayings are based on
careful observations and
turn out to be accurate,
others are merely rhymes
or beliefs of the people
who came before us.
So with that in mind,
what can we expect for
March? If the old adage
is prophetic, the Lion
is roaring loudly come
the 1st of March as we
experienced
a
bonechilling temperature of
-38ºC in the morning!
In a typical Cold
Lake March, we can
expect to enjoy steadily
warmer weather as the
days progress. We can
look forward to average
daytime highs of 0.5ºC
with hopes that at some
time we’ll meet or match
the month end record of
17.9ºC in 1992. On the
chillier side, temperatures
once plummeted to an
eyeball-freezing
-41ºC
at the beginning of the
month in 1962. These
extremes seem to support
the old axiom that March
is frigid to start but warms
up in the end.
With March also
comes a change in the
wind.
After
months
of a generally southwesterly flow, the winds
back around from the
east and tend to settle a
bit. Combined with the
warming trend we enjoy
a good reduction in wind
chill that helps encourage
us to go outside a little
more. The sun stays
around longer this month
with average daylight
hours taking up 46% of
the day (up a meagre
3% from last month but
who’ll complain?)
So all in all an
improvement is expected,
but that nagging question
remains; if we have ice
cold weather now, does
that mean better days
are ahead? Nature loves
a balance and March has
always been one of lion
and lamb.

Is Cleaning Air Ducts in
Your House Necessary?
Canadian Forces
Housing Agency
The
Canadian
Forces Housing Agency
(CFHA) has noted an
increase in occupant
concerns over indoor
air quality and requests
for duct cleaning in
their residential housing
units.
CFHA
would
like to provide DND
housing occupants with
additional information
regarding duct cleaning
and the link to indoor air
quality.
On issues related
to indoor air quality,
the
CFHA
follows
guidelines provided by
the Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corporation
(CMHC). According to
CMHC, "duct cleaning
will not usually change the
quality of the air you breathe,
nor will it significantly
affect airflows. In fact,
getting ducts cleaned will
not reduce the presence of
house molds and allergens,
get rid of house dust, reduce
energy costs, result in more
airflow or better deliver
warm air.”
CMHC does list
situations when cleaning
ducts may make sense:
• If there is mold
growth in the duct;
• After
moving
into a newly constructed
house;
• When
having
trouble with furnace
airflow;
• When
seeing
an
accumulation
of
debris in the return air
registers.
When such situations
are reported to CFHA,
staff will assess the
conditions and consider
contracting an outside
service provider to clean
the ducts. Please note
that having your ducts
cleaned requires prior
approval
from
your
Housing Services Centre
(HSC).
As an alternative
to
duct
cleaning,
occupants can reduce
household dust levels
and improve indoor air
quality through frequent

Happy House Daycare
Happy House Daycare was opened in 2008. Uta Squire
had just finished building her new house and the entire
2000 ft2 basement to accommodate her day home.
However, there were too many children and she decided
to become a licensed facility. From there she hired Tamara
Topolie and they began their journey. The original license
was two staff and 13 children. By the time August 2011
rolled around they had far surpassed that. They had
become a licensed and accredited program and were at
seven staff and 35 children. With the phone ringing off the
hook each day with parents begging to join the program,
it was time for a move. Uta contacted the Northern Lights
School Division and signed the lease for one year to take
over the old Grand Centre Middle School. With a very
short time limit they renovated the school and moved in
August 26, 2011 with 20 staff and 64 children. As it stands
as of February 2014, we currently have 32 staff, 215
children and 11 classrooms. Happy House Daycare now
leases the entire school, all of which is daycare.
Happy House Daycare’s hours of operation are
6:00 am - 6:00 pm Monday to Thursday and Fridays
6:00 am - 5:00 pm. We have these extended hours in
order to accommodate the work in this area. Our fees are
$35.00 a day per day we are open a month, flat rate. Ex:
21 days open in March x $35.00 = $735.00. There is no
exceptions if you are on vacation or your child is sick. If
wanting part-time hours they are still full-days but consist
of two or three days a week that you are slotted into and
have to pay also regardless of here or not. Ex: Tuesday,
Thursday or Monday, Wednesday, Friday - nine days
scheduled for $35.00 = $315.00.
Happy House Daycare provides breakfast, lunch and
snack all based on the Canadian food guide. We have a
play through learn philosophy that all planning is based
off of the children’s interests. By teaching this way your
children are learning all their cognitive, fine-gross motor,
social and language skills, but in a way that they can
understand. With such a large facility the children have
spacious classrooms, a large gym, a smaller toddler/infant
gym and two separate fenced in outdoor areas backing
onto soccer fields, as well as the playground right next
door. All staff hired on here have to have their certification
within six months of hire and a clean criminal record
check along with first aid in child care. All staff hired have
some form of education pertaining to child care.
We have many options to choose from:

Thinking of a Cleanse or Detox Diet?

Tovah Fenske,

Detox
diets
and
cleanses are short-term
diet changes that restrict
the type of foods one
eats, restricting essential
nutrients while low in
calories. These diets
claim to cleanse your
body of toxins and assist
in weight loss. For the last
few years, detox diets and
cleansing diets have been
gaining popularity.
The truth is that there
is little scientific evidence
to support that these
diets actually release
toxins from the body or
that they are effective

Padre Gives Back on Humanitarian Mission
Sergeant Bill
McLeod
For Captain Roy
Laudenorio, a Canadian
Armed Forces Chaplain
stationed at 17 Wing
Winnipeg,
Operation
Renaissance
was
a
chance to give back to
the society he says helped
make him what he is
today.
“They taught me to
care and what it means
to reach out to a fellow
human
being,”
said
Captain
Laudenorio
about the people he grew
up with. “My Filipino
culture had a big impact
on my choice of vocation/
career.”
Born and raised in
the Philippines, Padre
Laudenorio was one of
319 CAF members on
the operation and one
of a special group of
about 15 liaison officers
of
Filipino
descent.
Captain
Laudenorio
speaks Hiligaynon, the
most widely used dialect
of Panay Island where
the Canadians provided
assistance.
O p e r a t i o n
Renaissance 13-1 was
the operation to provide
disaster relief to areas
of the Philippines hard
hit by Typhoon Haiyan.
During the operation
the Canadian Armed
Forces provided medical
assistance,
cleared
roads, provided potable
water and air and
ground transportation
to support the delivery
of
humanitarian
supplies. CAF members
began deploying on
November 13, 2013 and
the operation officially
ended on December 15.
DND

HOROSCOPES
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
Privacy is at a premium this week. Savor any moments you have
to yourself, Capricorn. The race to finish a home improvement
project begins.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Whoa, Aquarius. Enthusiasm can be contagious, but it can also
be overwhelming. Temper yours until you learn more about the
people involved.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Watch it, Pisces. Play your cards right and you will have
nothing to worry about. Make a misstep and there will be
consequences. A pal returns a favor.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
You’re simply amazing, Aries. There is no other way to describe
you this week. You know just what to say and do to make
everything right.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Old newspaper clippings remind you of simpler times and
inspire you to pare down. Start with that room that everyone has
forgotten, Taurus.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
Networking has never been your forte, but if you want to
succeed, you are going to have to expand your contact list.
Look to a mentor to help, Gemini.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Shop’ til you drop. That’s your motto this week, Cancer. You
have many purchases to make for an upcoming event. Look to a
savvy senior for help.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
You’re in top form this week, Leo. Everything you touch is
golden. A clash in opinions at work kicks the rumor mill into high
gear. Keep your nose to the grindstone.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
Game on, Virgo. The competition is heating up and all eyes are
on you to take the lead. A blast from the past drops by with an
uncanny request.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
Some risks are worth taking, Libra. Cast aside your fears and
go for it. A cooking mishap leads to a new tradition. The debate
at work continues.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Watch it, Scorpio. You’re skating on thin ice with a loved one.
Give them some space to sort things out. A windfall makes a
trip possible.
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21
Uh-uh-uh, Sagittarius. Sometimes it is best to wing it. Stop
thinking about what you should do and just do it. A deadline
creeps ever so close.

You’re bored. Your dog Mike looks bored, too. Maybe Mike
needs a friend? Lots of people have pets as best friends. In fact,
pets like to be included in your leisure time and they need daily
exercise, too. Time spent with your pet will relax and revitalize you,
reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Walk your dog or cat on a
leash around your neighborhood. You also could put a leash on your
rabbit and walk him in the backyard. Play ball with your dog in the
backyard. Teach him to bring the ball back. Pull a catnip mouse on
the end of a string for your cat to chase. Teach your bird to whistle a
tune or speak a new word. Keep training sessions to 15 minutes two
to three times a day. Watch your hamster explore your house inside
a clear, ventilated ball. This type of product is available at Petland
and is the only safe way to let your hamster exercise outside his
cage. Comb or brush your pet’s fur. Your pet may squirm a bit at
first, but with time most pets learn to enjoy their daily grooming.

Q
HOME INSPECTION
Any tips to ensure our sump pump is ready
for the Spring thaw?
Just around the corner is the Spring thaw and
the runoff of roof and yard water. To check the
sump, pour some water into the pit and observe the
operation of the pump float, which will turn the pump
on. As well, watch for hang-ups or obstructions that
may impede the pumps operation.
Clean out all debris that may have collected in the
sump pit and check all discharge piping for condition
and proper slope. Be sure to follow the municipality
rules for proper discharge of sump pit water.

COSMETIC AND MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY
Q:
AFTER 3 BABIES, I AM LEFT WITH A LOT
OF STRETCH MARKS AND LOOSE SKIN.
BESIDES A ‘TUMMY TUCK’ WHAT CAN I DO?
A:
With loose skin that is mostly contained to below
the belly button, called a ‘Pannus’ (meaning
Apron), I do a Panniculectomy. This is covered by
Alberta Health Care (AHC). It involves a light anesthetic
in the operating room, and a simple removal of the
loose skin. You are left with a Happy Smile! Healing
time is minimal, because the muscles are not cut.
Following which, I then recommend Lipodissolve and/
or Fractional non-ablative laser treatment to help
minimize the stretch marks, and/or SlimShapes to
tighten the skin. (These additional treatments are not
covered by AHC).

WHAT IS JOINT CUSTODY?
There are several different terms used through matrimonial
relationship breakdowns. These can be very confusing to people.
The Divorce Act contains the terms custody and access. Custody generally
means the ability of the custodian parent to make decisions on a day to day
basis regarding the child. Access refers to the amount of time the other parent
has with the child.
Under the Family Law Act guardians are individuals that have the ability
to make day to day decision making regarding the child. Parenting time is
equivalent to access under the Divorce Act. You do not need to be a parent
in order to have parenting time, but you must be a guardian. Contact time is
access with the child provided when someone is not a guardian of the child.
Joint guardianship/custody means both parties are allowed to make decisions
together with regard to the child. Shared parenting/custody means both
parties have at least 40% of available parenting time.
For more information, please consult a lawyer.
