405 Squadron Alert Lancaster Crash Memorial
... cover story continued.
The memorial stone,
situated along the Greenwood
Memorial Garden Walkway,
offers friends and families a
quiet place to remember and
contemplate the sacrifices of
these brave “Eagles”. It is
also worth mentioning that
this stone was unveiled on
the eve of yet another 405
Squadron crew deployment to
the Canadian Arctic to conduct
surveillance and support.
On 31, July 2010,
approximately fifty military
and civilian members
stationed at Canadian Forces
Station Alert braved the
cold to pay their respects
to the fallen crew. The
poem “High Flight”, which
adorns the memorial stone in
Greenwood, was read during
the Alert ceremony and will
hopefully become a yearly act
of remembrance.
On behalf of the
Commanding Officer of 405
(Long Range Patrol) (LRP)
Squadron, Lieutenant Colonel
Irvine, and the men and women
of 405 (LRP) Squadron, I
would like to offer my sincere
thanks and appreciation for
the cooperation and effort
of all who helped make
this dedication ceremony
memorable. Many thanks
to the Greenwood Military
Aviation Museum, members
of the VP International,
members of 14 Wing Logistics
and Engineering Branch,
graphic designer Mr. Bruce
Gormley of the Maritime
Proving and Evaluation Unit,
Heritage Memorials and
the many businesses and
individuals who generously
donated and supported this
significant project.
As stated by LCol
Irvine during the unveiling
ceremony, “Our remembrance

Priority Public Service Entitlement
for the Surviving Spouses of CF Personnel
The Public Service Commission of Canada has established
a new priority entitlement for the surviving spouses and
common-law partners of Canadian Forces personnel who have
died while performing their duties.
The priority entitlement gives eligible spouses increased
access to public service employment opportunities by placing
their names and résumés on a priority listing for external
federal government job competitions. Spouses then have the
right to compete for positions and be appointed in priority to
all other persons, except statutory priorities, to any term or
indeterminate position in the public service for which they
meet the essential qualifications.
The program will be administered by Director Casualty
Support Management (DCSM) and the Public Service
Commission of Canada. A representative from DCSM will
be contacting all eligible spouses to make sure they are aware
of this opportunity should they choose to take advantage of
the entitlement.
“Director Military Family Services (DMFS) is pleased
to help spread the word about this significant gesture on
the part of the Canadian government, which honours and
acknowledges the sacrifices of these spouses by offering them
new employment opportunities that may help build a brighter
future,” indicated Celine Thompson, Director, DMFS.

Questions about Deployment? Call the Mission Information
Line at 1-800-866-4546
Submitted by Margaret Reid, GMFRC Executive Director
The Mission Information Line (MIL) has been helping
families experiencing deployment for over 18 years. Just as the
nature of Canadian Forces (CF) deployments have changed over
time, the concerns of MIL callers have also evolved.
This winter, the MIL was especially busy answering calls
and updating messages about the deployment of CF personnel
to Haiti for Operation Hestia. An officer from the Disaster
Assistance Response Team provided updates to an automated
MIL message box almost daily so that families could hear
firsthand how their loved ones were helping with the relief effort.
“Families called in regularly to hear about everything from the
first baby born in the CF makeshift hospital, to how many litres
of water they had made safe for drinking, to how the people of
Haiti are doing,” says Robin Whitford, MIL Manager.
“Though this deployment happened suddenly, it was great that
word of mouth let people know where to call for information.
During the two month deployment, the message boxes dedicated
to Op Hestia received over 1000 hits!”
The MIL provides message boxes dedicated to each military
operation on deployment, and works with CF personnel to keep
the boxes updated regularly. Families can call and listen to the
recorded messages at any time to get a sense of what their loved
ones have recently experienced, and feel connected even through

they may be far apart.
The message boxes can also provide updates for families on
when to expect their loved ones back from deployment.
“Deployment Support Centres can use their message boxes
to record the flight return timings of the soldiers returning from
tour. As flight information can change right up until the last
minute, the Deployment Support Centres are able to update this
information with one simple recording and hundreds of families
are able to call as often as they wish. During this anxious time,
many families call repeatedly!”
In addition to the message boxes, the MIL also provides
families with access to a counselor from 8 a.m. until midnight
(EST), Monday-Friday by pressing ‘0’. Callers can also leave
messages for the MIL and all messages will be returned. Urgent
messages will be returned even on weekends and holidays.
Whether callers are working up to a deployment, already
have a loved one overseas, or the reunion has brought its own
set of challenges, the MIL can help make the transitions easier
for families. The MIL’s services don’t start only when a loved
one departs, and they don’t end when the planes land back in
Canada. Families are welcome to call the MIL anytime with
their questions, concerns or even just to talk.

déployé à Haïti dans le cadre de l’opération Hestia. Un officier de
l’Équipe d’intervention en cas de catastrophe mettait à jour presque
quotidiennement la boîte vocale pour que les familles obtiennent un
compte rendu direct des efforts de secours fournis par leurs proches.
« Les familles téléphonaient régulièrement pour tout savoir, de
la naissance du premier bébé né à l’hôpital improvisé des FC, au
nombre de litres d’eau purifiée pour la consommation, à l’état d’âme
des Haïtiens », déclare Robin Whitford, gestionnaire de la LIM.
« Bien que ce déploiement soit arrivé soudainement, par chance
les gens savaient où téléphoner pour obtenir de l’information grâce
au bouche-à-oreille. Nous avons reçu plus de 1000 appels à la boîte
vocale dévouée à l’opération Hestia au cours des deux mois qu’à
duré la mission! »
Les intervenants de la MIL gèrent des boîtes vocales dédiées à
chaque opération militaire et déploiement, et travaillent de concert
avec le personnel des FC pour les mettre à jour régulièrement. Les
familles peuvent appeler en tout temps et écouter des messages
enregistrés leur donnant un aperçu de ce que leurs proches vivent et
leur permettant de se sentir en contact malgré la distance.
Les familles peuvent également obtenir des renseignements à
jour sur la date de retour de leurs proches à partir de la boîte vocale.
« Les Centres de soutien aux déploiements peuvent utiliser ces
boîtes vocales pour enregistrer les renseignements sur les heures des
vols de retour des soldats après une affectation. Puisque les détails sur
les vols peuvent changer jusqu’à la dernière minute, les Centres de
soutien aux déploiements peuvent mettre à jour ces renseignements à
l’aide d’un simple enregistrement. Des centaines de familles peuvent
téléphoner aussi souvent qu’elles le veulent. De nombreuses familles
appellent fréquemment pendant cette période stressante! »
En plus de l’accès aux boîtes vocales, les familles peuvent obtenir
des services de consultation en composant le « 0 », du lundi au
vendredi, de 8 h à minuit, HNE. Elles peuvent également laisser des
messages pour les intervenants de la MIL, qui réponderont à chacun
d’eux. On répondra aux messages urgents mêmes les fins de semaine
et les jours de congé payé.
Les intervenants de la MIL peuvent aider les familles en transition
qui se préparent à un déploiement, qui sont séparées de leurs proches
affectés outre-mer, ou qui font face à des défis lors des retrouvailles.
Les services qu’offrent les intervenants de la MIL couvrent bien
plus que la période du déploiement et ne s’arrêtent pas dès que les
militaires reviennent au pays. Les intervenants accueillent les appels
des familles des militaires en tout temps et sont prêts à répondre à
leurs questions et à leurs préoccupations, ou à simplement discuter.

Mr Nelson Mullen, Chapter President of Canadian
Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping
By Sergeant
Pete Nicholson
Nelson Mullen is a founding
member of the William C. Hall
VC Chapter of the Canadian
Association of Veterans
in United Nations (UN)
Peacekeeping {CAVUNP}
www.cavunp.org. This is a
National organization formed
in 1986 in Toronto and has
more than a 1,000 members
Canada wide. Consisting of all
three elements of the Canadian
Forces, Army, Navy and Air
Force; all members must
have done at least one United
Nations (UN) peacekeeping
tour! He recently received a
Minister of Veterans Affairs
Commendation for his
commitment and dedication
to veterans. Nelson was
very surprised and deeply
honoured that he received this
Commendation.
From Weymouth, Nova
Scotia originally, he joined
the Royal Canadian Air Force
in 1959 as Radio Operator
and his career spanned
twenty five years! He retired
in Debert Nova Scotia, and
then moved to Greenwood
to become the Greenwood
Detachment Commander and
the Annapolis Valley Area
supervisor for the Canadian
Corps of Commissionaires and
served with them for fifteen
years.
I n 1 9 8 8 t h e C AV U N P
Greenwood chapter was
founded. Since then, Nelson
has held every position,
secretary, treasurer and now
President for the past four years
and it looks like it may be more.
It is an organization providing
a social atmosphere for UN
tour personnel, to share in the
benefit of talking and listening.
Meetings are held monthly at
the Royal Canadian Air Force
Association (RCAFA) Wing
in Greenwood, and there is a
TGIF (thank God it is Friday)
on the first Friday of every
month. With a maximum of
eighty members at its peak, it
now has thirty two. A very small
chapter, but it has members all
across Canada!
For the first time, the
National meeting is going to
be held this year in Greenwood,
24-26 September 2010! The
first time it has been east of
Quebec City. Other events
that are attended are the July
1st parade, Steer BBQ, August
9 National UN Peacekeeping
(the day nine UN soldiers were
killed in plane crash in 1974
in Syria!) and November 11th
parade in Kingston.
Nelson and his wife Isabelle
have a son Steve, who is a
Lieutenant Commander at
Canada Command in Ottawa
and a daughter Patty, a dietician,
who is married and resides in
Hawaii. To relax, he plays his
version of golf in the summer
and bowls in the winter.
Nelson has helped build
a tremendous venue of
recognition and public
awareness and like all Veterans
should not be forgotten!

On Wednesday, August 4, 2010, the 14 Wing Logistics
& Engineering Branch (WLE) held a Change of Command
parade at 11 Hangar. Outgoing 14 Wing Logistics and
Engineering Officer (WLEO) Lieutenant Colonel (LCol) Ron
Ubbens thanked the Branch for their dedicated service and
professionalism over the past two years.
The official handover of the Unit to the new incoming
WLEO, LCol Ghislain Létourneau took place with an official
signing of documents between the two LCols and the Wing
Commander, Colonel (Col) Bill Seymour. LCol Létourneau
then shook hands and congratulated outgoing Commanding
Officer (CO), LCol Ubbens on a job well done over a tough
two years which saw the deployment of many WLE personnel
as part of the14 Mission Support Squadron as well as issues
with water shortages across the Wing.
Hundreds attended the parade at the Hangar including
special guests such as Major General Ian Patrick (retired) and
former 14 Wing Commander Colonel Brian Handley (retired)
as well as the families of both the incoming and outgoing COs.
This past year had been one of the most demanding years for
the Branch as more than 100 WLE personnel from all sections
were deployed overseas. Base functions saw very little slow
down, even with the reduced numbers of available personnel,
a testament, noted Col Seymour, to the superb leadership of
LCol Ubbens and the dedication of the personnel of the WLE
Branch in Greenwood. Col Seymour then went on to commend
LCol Ubbens for his outstanding service, and offered words
of welcome to the new WLEO, LCol Létourneau
Prior to his new posting to the Wing, LCol Létourneau
was posted to the Canadian Forces Staff College in Toronto,
Ontario. LCol Ubbens has been posted to an overseas
assignment.
In a short speech, LCol Létourneau also offered his
compliments to LCol Ubbens for his leadership and hard
work during his time as the Wings WLEO and added that he
looks forward to the continued success of the WLE Branch
under his command.

14 Wing Operations Branch Change of Command Parade
On Thursday, 5 August
2010, the 14 Wing Operations
(WOps) Branch held a Change
of Command parade. The
outgoing 14 Wing Operations

done over a busy two years that
saw 14 Wing play an important
role in multiple operations at
home and abroad.
LCol Cummings had many
praises for all of the staff
under his command over the
past two years but he was
most impressed with how well
the Wing’s motto “Operate
as One” was implemented.
The excellent teamwork
that was demonstrated by
all personnel was certainly
noticed and recognized
by LCol Cummings. The
significance of this motto to
LCol Cummings was clearly
seen when he was presented
with his parting gift of a print
with 14 Wing insignia of the
unit and the Wing motto.
The only words he had upon
receiving the print were “It’s
perfect!”
Prior to his new posting to
the Wing, LCol Chouinard
completed Staff College at

has been posted to the Strategic
Joint Staff (SJS) in Ottawa,
Ontario.

looks forward to the continued

Annapolis Valley Health Teddy Bear Picnic
(Image: Private Jessica Reynolds)
Submitted by: Wendy Walters, BPR, CIM, Acting Director - Public Relations
Annapolis Valley Health will be hosting a Teddy Bear Picnic on Saturday
September 11, from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. at Centennial Park in Berwick.
Children from the community are invited to bring a Teddy Bear or other stuffed animal to a picnic
where our local health care team and partners are on scene to provide a full teddy bear health check up.
This event helps children become more comfortable with local emergency service providers
(RCMP, EHS, Fire Department, Health Care Team, Canadian Forces) by interacting with them
vicariously through teddy bears. Children will watch as their teddy bears have their Vital Signs done,
get weighed and measured, have an X-ray, get examined, get a “needle”, a cast and a Band-Aid, etc.
AVH is taking interest from local media who may want to set up on scene for a live broadcast
or to sponsor this important community event.

ZX Cycle N Run Cabot Trail Ride
Submitted by: MCpl Mike
Dymond
31 Jul – 2 Aug 2010
Eight members (MWO.
Andre Daigle, Mr Dean
Peach, Mr Steve Moores,
MCpl Mike Dymond, Cpl
Yvette Cedeno, Mr Ian Giles,
Mrs Annette Dymond, Lt
(USN) Greg Becker) of
the ZX Cycle N Run Club
participated in a three day
ride around the beautiful and
challenging 300 km Cabot
Trail on Cape Breton Island.
Day one’s leg (the easy
day) departed Baddeck and
rode over Hunter Mountain
and west through the
rolling Margaree Valley,
then north to Cheticamp for
a distance of 90 km. The
duty of driving the support
vehicle was shared by all,
with handovers every 1015km. The group then set
up camp at Roberts Brook
campground in Cape Breton
Highlands National Park.
Day two (the hard day
100km) departed the
campsite and immediately
went into the “Grades” that
doubled as the warm-up
for the ominous French
Mountain. The beautiful
and scenic grunt up the
6km (elev. 455m) climb
was “Breath Taking”. Kudos
Andre, Annette and Yvette!
Riders then regrouped at the
top of McKenzie Mountain,
and were stopped by a park
Warden asking if we had seen
any Coyotes. Three coyotes
had been spotted earlier
that morning, which was
unusual, and he informed us
you normally only hear them
``Crunching on Bones`` near
the roadside. All sixteen legs
and arms were accounted for.
The harrowing descent
down the multiple
switchbacks of McKenzie
Mountain had a surprise for
Dean, as he hit a bird (claims
the bird hit him), causing his
stereo speaker to depart his
bicycle. Next was a quick
lunch at Pleasant Bay and
on to the dreaded North
Mountain (elev. 433m). This
4km climb, with the first
3km at 11% was brutal. But
all riders were eventually
successful in ascending.
Andre discovered that
when he could not maintain
forward momentum, and his
pedals could not rotate, the
bike will fall on its side if
your foot is not on the ground
first. He had a short rest,
unclipped his shoes, climbed
back on, and conquered the
Mountain. Kudos Andre!
The harrowing descent
down the other side had
mixed reviews as ``Little
Greg`` shredded the hill and
rocketed down to the rest
stop at Big Intervale. Mike
lost his nerve, climbing
the mountain faster than he
descended it.
The group split as Greg
and Steve took the Neils
Harbour coastal route while
Ian took the remainder
over South Mountain,
eventually enjoying an 8km
6% downhill. The riders
regrouped shortly before
the day’s destination at the
Broad Cove Campground
near Ingonish.
Day three (the not so
easy day 113km) we were
pointed south towards Cape
Smokey. After a 15 km
warm-up through multiple
construction zones and
beautiful scenery through
Ingonish Beach we started
up the supposed 15km climb
to the summit. Our group
weatherman/tour guide Ian
had a great surprise for us
as it was “Only” an 8km
climb. Some of us had a
bailout plan, and fortunately
didn’t have to use it. After a
couple of kickers near the
bottom, the climb was fairly
gradual, and Yvette was seen
occasionally adjusting her
hair (blamed her helmet).
The descent down Smokey
again had mixed reviews, but
the road eventually wound
along the shore and settled
to some undulating hills. We
More Firsts in Flight
Submitted by: Heather Gardner
For the past 3 months I’ve been living with nesting Sharp Shinned Hawks (SSH) in my
yard. They would wake me at dawn with their shrill cry that seemed to go on all day. Tonight,
July 23rd 2010, there was a payoff. While out for a bike ride we got to see about 20 juvenile
SSH out for what appeared to be their first flight! Quite a fantastic sight here in Ravenwood
Subdivision.

regrouped at the St. Ann’s
Bay turnoff and headed
for the final destination at
Baddeck.
All arrived with a great
sense of accomplishment at
the finish at the Bra`s Dòr

Andre, Annette and
Yvette are new road riders
this year. Their riding
accomplishments are
impressive and this weekend

Three Weeks of Fun, Sports Camp Style!
Submitted By: Carly Gillis
Week 4 at the 14 Wing
sports camp was all about
Canada’s favourite sports,
hockey and lacrosse! The week
was filled with hockey and
lacrosse drills, scrimmages,
and tournaments. Big thanks
goes out to the Nova Scotia
Lacrosse Society who put on a
lacrosse camp for the kids, to
the Halifax Discovery Centre
who allowed us to visit, and
to our bus drivers who made
this trip possible.
After the long weekend,
it was Week 5 at camp
and the greatly anticipated
“ A d v e n t u r e We e k ” h a d
arrived. During this week
we went on a rewarding
scavenger hunt, and also had
the chance to perform Yoga,
and even Aikido.
Thursday night was also
“Sleepover Night” and the
kids had tonnes of fun playing
flashlight tag, watching
movies, and enjoyed a healthy
supper thanks to the donations
from the Greenwood Subway.
Thanks again to Aprill Denney
who gave us a lesson in yoga,
Steve Nickerson who taught
us the skills of Aikido, and
the Greenwood MacDonald’s
who provided us with prizes
in our scavenger hunt. This
past week was Week 6 which
was filled with net and racquet
games. The kids got to enjoy
fun games like volleyball,
badminton, ping pong, tennis,
and even squash thanks to the
F&S Centre who allowed us
to use their squash courts.
Other thanks go out to our bus
drivers who took us to Pirates
Cove on Friday and to the staff
of Pirates Cove who allowed
us to visit. Also, we would
like to thank the lifeguards of
the Greenwood outdoor pool
who allow us to swim safely
everyday. See you next week
Remi Zinck and Tyler Badcock try their new Aikido skills
for the “Extreme Survivor
Challenge!”
as instructed by Steve Nickerson during Adventure Week.

14 Wing Band Performs in Bridgetown
posted to Halifax where she will have the
opportunity to play with the Stadacona Band
of Maritime Atlantic Forces.
The event was a way for the Wing to interact
with the residents of the town and is part of a
planned series of mini concerts that will be
performed at other locations in the future around
the Annapolis Valley.
By: Captain Scott Spurr
Residents of the town of Bridgetown were
treated to a concert by 14 Wing Greenwood’s
Band on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at
the town’s Jubilee Park. The hour long
concert started at 7:00 p.m. and featured
several musical arrangements that included
contemporary and modern numbers.
The band was directed by acting band
director Maggie Helmes from Kentville. It
was also the last concert that outgoing band
director Master Warrant Officer Lisa Paquette
had the opportunity to play and conduct with
the 14 Wing. MWO Paquette is currently
It is past the middle of August

the closest to the Sub Box prize and
Wendy and Connie Armstrong won
2nd L.G. in the 3rd Division... what
a day that was... it rained so hard
but the organizers didn’t want to
give in to Mother Nature, so after
an hour delay we finally got to
play...a bit wet for the first couple
of holes but we were all dry by the
time the round ended. Hats off to
the organizers....it really was a fun
day. On August 11th there were
13 ladies out for Ladies Night and
they played Bingo Bango Bongo
and the winners were Faye Penny,
Paullette Swindells,Deborah
Melanson, Cyndi Landry and
Hazel McEwan. The 50/50 was
won by Sandra Cathcart. The team
from our club that will be going to
the Bronze competition at Oakfield
will be Audrey Costin, Wendy
The 19th Hole
Richardson, Sandy Adams, Betty
Lane and Carolyn Litsas ...good
luck ladies.
Steve Greenwood did an
excellent job of organizing the
2nd Annual Leafs vs Habs grudge
match-play challenge. After last
year’s very close loss to those
Leafs, the Habs team expected
a better result this year. The
Challenge was tied at 10-10 with
the last 2 matches coming up the
18th. Unfortunately (that depends
on who you are cheering for)
...the Leafs took both matches and
finished with a 12-10 victory. It
was a tough defeat for the Habs
for the second year, but they can
always say that the Leafs had
an extra month to practice after
the hockey season. For several
of the players it was their first
experience of match-play and
they all enjoyed the experience.
It was nice to see more ladies
participate this year. Results for
the Leafs were: Cooper over Dan
Smith, Gorman over Stoddard,
Jenkins over Keilback, Donna
Hill over B. Saltzman, Sheila
Johnson over Sandra Cathcart.,
Youden over Bill McDonald,
Rideout over Ian MacKenzie,

2010 Terry Fox Run! Volunteers Needed
By Eric MacKenzie Community Recreation Coordinator
The 30th Annual Terry Fox Run (Site # 1060) is set to once
again happen on Sunday September 19th 2010, as part of
our annual Wing Welcome weekend. Registration will take
place at the 14 Wing Community Centre at 12:00 p.m. where
a warm up will be offered at 12:45 p.m. prior to the official
start at 1:00 p.m.
Individuals can either participate by walking, running or biking
the 10KM route planned. However, please note that helmets are
mandatory and you will not be permitted to bike the route if you
do not have a helmet. If you do not have a helmet you can still
walk or run the route if you wish. Also, please be aware that
participants under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
Finally, it is important to note that both the 5km and 10km routes
will be the same as last year; the run will start at the Community
Centre and then proceed down Kingswood Rd, through the flower
streets, through the PMQ gate, around the Wing and then back
to the Community Centre through the main gate.
Speaking of the run, the Terry Fox 100KM CHALLANGE
has once again been set. Are you ready for it? This challenge
is for anyone who would like to run, walk or bike 10KM a day,
for ten straight days, starting on Friday September 10th. The
goal is to complete your final 10KM during the 30th Annual
Terry Fox Run event on Sunday September 19th If you are
interested in signing up or learning more about this challenge,
please contact Eric MacKenzie at the 14 Wing Community
Centre at 765 – 1494 ext. 5337.
This is the third year that the Village of Kingston has
partnered with14 Wing and with this great partnership, we
expect this event to be even larger and more successful than
ever. It is also our goal that this partnership will increase the
amount of donations that we are able to collect in support of
the Terry Fox Foundation!
However, as a result of this event growing, the demand
and need for volunteers has also grown. This event is just
over a month away but we would like to remind everyone
that the success of this annual community fundraiser requires
a great deal of community assistance and support. If you are
interested in volunteering, please contact Eric MacKenzie at
765-1494 ext. 5337.
Lastly, please keep an eye out for pledge sheets and Terry
Fox Run posters in the community.
14 Wing Greenwood Skateboard Union Club!
The 14 Wing Community
Centre held our second
Greenwood Skateboard Union
Club meeting on Tuesday July
20th. Our Club is now officially
formed, and we have started
to make decisions on how to
spend the grant we received on
the park, and pick a day to raise
funds through a community
bottle drive.
This Club is opened to
anyone between the ages of
9-18 but anyone under 9 can
join the club, provided a parent
or guardian (18 or older) is
present when they visit the
skate park. This includes our
BMX users and skateboard
users. Our membership
is only $15 a year, $12 for
each additional child, and all
of your registration dues go
towards fundraising purposes
to provide upgrades to the
park. Membership forms are
available at Limitless Skate and
Snow, in the Greenwood Mall,
and at the 14 Wing Community
Centre. Please note that your
completed form must be
submitted at the Community
Centre where you will be given
a receipt for your payment.
We hope to continue to meet
monthly, and discuss what
upgrades the park needs and
how to fundraise the necessary
funds. This Club, in partnership
with Limitless Skate and Snow,
allows users of the park to
provide feedback on where our
grant funding should be spent,
and collectively set a plan in
place for what direction we
would like to see our park go.
Other benefits will include
discounts on entry fees to our
event, such as the upcoming
Wing Welcome competition
set for Saturday September
1 8 th 2 0 1 0 . P l u s , w e a r e
already trying to organize
skateboarding lessons for
those who would like to learn
how to skate. In addition, by
forming this Club, we will
improve our chances to be
approved for additional grants
and also improve the success
of our fundraising initiatives,
since we will have a group of
committed members who are
dedicated to helping improve
our park.
If you are interested in joining
the Club, please contact Eric
MacKenzie at 765-1494 ext
5337 or attend our next meeting
set for Wednesday August 18th
from 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. inside the
14 Wing Community Centre
Conference Room. During
this meeting we’ll discuss
plans of holding a bottle drive
at the end of August / early
September, and this will be
an opportunity to voice your
opinions and recommend the
changes that you would like
to see. Please note that the
Community Centre Conference
Room is located on the second
floor of the Centre.

The Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre (GMFRC)
would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to everyone posted
to Greenwood this posting season. Greenwood is a wonderful
place to be, the people are friendly, the community is
supportive, and the landscape is fabulous.
What is there to do in Greenwood? This posting will give you
the chance to enjoy some of the wonderful things the Annapolis
Valley and Nova Scotia have to offer. Take a hike to Crystal
Falls; watch the sun set in Margaretville; check out a local
u-pick for the freshest fruit and veggies available; or attend a
local festival, play or concert. July and August are great times
to find a local beach or lake. September is a great time to go
whale watching and apple picking. October brings the chance
to go to a farm and pick your own pumpkins for Halloween!
Looking to get involved? In the Greenwood/Kingston area
there are many things to do or get involved with, depending on
your interests. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and
learn about your new area or to add new skills to your resume.
The GMFRC has many volunteering opportunities from tutoring
to childcare, packaging parcels to promotion and everything
in between! For all those looking to get involved in their new
community there are many organizations that are looking for
volunteers, coaches, or members and would love your help.
Looking for causal childcare? Forecasted for September,
the GMFRC will be offering full day casual child care to
military families at a minimal cost. It’s nice knowing your
children are looked after in a state of the art, safe, licensed,
and stimulating environment. Casual childcare is a great
service to take advantage of for an afternoon just for you. The
GMFRC Open House that was scheduled for August 27th has
been cancelled this year to allow the staff to focus on the new
child care project. Even though there will not be a formal Open
House this year, the GMFRC “house” is always open for you,
please feel free to drop in anytime.
Got questions about your new community? In September, the
GMFRC offers a wonderful program to initiate you into your new
community. Greenwood 101 is a guided bus tour of our local area.
Bilingual tour guides will fill you in on the area and answer any
questions you may have. The tour is followed by a family BBQ to
allow you to meet GMFRC staff, as well as, other families new to
the area. Greenwood 101 takes place on September 16th, contact
the GMFRC for further details and to book your spot on the bus.
Childcare, during the bus trip, is offered free to all who attend.
Looking for information? The GMFRC has information that
you may need to get settled in a new community. Information
such as daycare and babysitter lists; doctor and dentist lists
are available to you if you should need them. The doors of the
GMFRC are always open for questions and information; please
feel free to drop by. Access to a fax machine, internet, and
photocopier services are also available should you require it.
The GMFRC offers many programs, events, and service for
adults, volunteers and children; a little something for everyone.
An on site social worker is on staff to help with questions or
concerns and to help find resources that you may need. An
employment councillor is on hand to assist with updating

What’s Up in Day Camp
Day Campers thinking hard about what they want
to be when they grow up!
WOW the past three weeks of Day Camp have just been
a blast! Looking back at week four, we were mad scientists
doing all kinds of crazy experiments! Monday, we started off
by constructing the tallest free standing structure, using limited
supplies. Tuesday, we made a cradle for an egg out of straws,
tape and newspaper, and then dropped it off the top of the stairs
outside. Our campers sure know how to make some strong
cradles because during the first drop, none of the eggs broke!
Wednesday, we made some homemade volcanoes! Thursday
the campers took a trip to Halifax to see the new Toy Story 3
movie in 3D. To finish off the week, the day campers made
some of their own silly putty that they were able to take home!
Before we knew it, it was week five and we were diving into
some wild adventures! Monday we had no camp… bummer…
but we sure made up for it Tuesday with our trip over to the
Sudoku
Birchall Centre to watch Madagascar 3! On Wednesday we
made scavenger hunt posters and painted rocks with all kinds
of wild designs! Thursday was another big day because we
explored outer space with our scavenger hunt using our
completed our posters we had made the day before. In the
afternoon we tie dyed T-shirts which turned out groovy! Friday,
our campers were a little upset that the rain washed out our
trail at the Duck Pond, meaning we couldn’t go on our hike.
To make up for it French Camp and Day Camp got together
that afternoon for a trip to the park and made some homemade
sundaes that were delicious!
Week six was jam packed with guest visitors! On Monday,
the Search and Rescue (SAR) Techs came over to the Apple
Bowl and we all got to watch them to do a parachute drop. After
snack we had the 14 Wing Fire Fighters come over with Sparky
the Dog and gave us some great tips on what to do if a fire
ever happens! Wednesday, we explored the Discovery Centre
to find out some cool things scientists might do! Thursday we
had two more guests come in, our first being Wesley Norris
who showed us some sick tricks on his skateboard while giving
the kids some safety tips about extreme sports such as this!
Our second guest was Aprill Denney who came in to give
our campers a pretty sweet yoga lesson! Friday we had Clp
Ferris come over from the Military Police to talk to us about
her job and what she does on a day to day basis! After snack
we had Stacey Hanninen come in and talk about her job as
a dietician. She had tons of cool facts and key hints on ho to
stay healthy for the campers!
Day Camp would like to send out a huge thanks to all of our
volunteers and bus drivers for these past few weeks. Without
you guys it just wouldn’t have been the same! Thanks again!

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!

North Mountain Gun Club Annual Muzzel Loader Shoot
On July 4th, the North Mountain Gun Club held its annual
shoot for muzzle loading rifles. The day was warm and sunny
with a light breeze; perfect for an outdoor event. A large crowd
of shooters and observers showed up early, with shooters from
the North Mountain Gun Club, Mack Meadow Fur Outpost,
and Blue Mountain Long Rifles. At noon everyone set down
to a fine meal of moose chilli and all the fixings, served up by
Chris Tanner and Horst Leogler. At 1:00 p.m. the competition
began under direction of range safety officer Cliff Neiley
and score keeper Ward Thompson. The shooters took turns
