Flying Finch a popular Greenwood visitor Sara Keddy, Managing editor As 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston settled into the rear seat of the Fleet Finch, pilot Chris Cormier pointed out the controls: “Here’s the brake.” “We won’t need that much with an 8,000 foot runway,” Huddleston said. “You don’t need much of anything!” Cormier replied. The bright yellow plane is a 74-year-old flying “museum piece,” one of just a few still able to take to the skies. It’s part of the Canadian Vintage Wings collection of Second World War and Cold War training aircraft. Four of the Vintage Wings planes were in Greenwood August 6 through 15, part of a national program to take 500 Royal Canadian Air Cadets on flights. Fifty youth in Greenwood Summer Training Will the show go on? 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston would like to think movies at the Zedex Theatre will continue to screen for his military families and the wider community, but a solution to projection technology “is not easy.” The Zedex Theatre is privately owned, a concession with a rental agreement for space in 14 Wing’s Birchall building. The base uses the theatre for large-audience audio visual presentations as part of its operations; the Zedex operates in the evenings, offers weekend matinees and is often available for school, group and base-wide events, including Wing Welcome and winter carnival family movies. Changing technology, however, means the military’s standard digital projector and the 35 millimetre projector the Zedex uses are becoming dated: fewer mainstream movies are being released in 35 millimetre, and an expensive upgrade is required to convert to the commercial digital standard. The base headquarters staff and Zedex owners have been in discussion, but options have been limited. “What the Zedex needs is a very expensive piece of equipment that doesn’t have an entirely rational military use,” Huddleston says. “We can justify operational requirements, but how do we justify nonoperational requirements? And, if we can, where do we find the money?” The base operates from several different funding sources, and much of it is earmarked for specific spending. Funding is limited, tied and difficult to “combine” for complicated projects – such as upgrading projection equipment for the use of a private business renting facilities from the base. “But,” says Huddleston, “Wing Telecommunications and Information Services has indicated the current projectors are becoming unsupportable, and they’re reaching their life’s end. Last week, one of the two bulbs in one of the machines blew and actually damaged it. So, it’s really time.” Huddleston is able to authorize the military projector’s replacement. What the Zedex requires is significantly more expensive. Regardless, he Continued on page 3...

Le colonel Iain Huddleston, commandant de la 14e Escadre Greenwood, espère que le cinéma Zedex continuera de diffuser les films pour les familles des militaires et l’ensemble de la collectivité, mais la solution au problème concernant la technologie de projection « n’est pas facile ». Le cinéma Zedex appartient à opérateurs privés, une concession dans le cadre d’un contrat de location d’espace dans l’édifice Birchall de la 14e Escadre. La base utilise la salle de cinéma pour organiser des présentations audiovisuelles grand public dans le cadre de ses activités; le cinéma Zedex fonctionne les soirs, offre des matinées de fin de semaine et est également disponible pour la tenue d’activités scolaires, de groupe et de la base, notamment la projection de films à l’occasion de la Fin de semaine d’accueil de l’Escadre et du Carnaval d’hiver à l’Escadre. Le changement de la technologie signifie cependant que le projecteur numérique standard des FAC et le projecteur de 35 mm utilisés par le Zedex deviennent désuets : très peu de films grand public sont diffusés en 35 mm, et il faut recourir à une modernisation coûteuse pour effectuer la conversion à la norme numérique commerciale. Le personnel du quartier général de la base et les propriétaires de Zedex ont eu des discussions, mais les options sont limitées. « Le Zedex a besoin d’acquérir un équipement fort coûteux, qui ne répond pas totalement This Fleet Finch was the first aircraft to check out Greenwood’s runway, landing in the summer of 1941 as the base was under construction for RCAF training. Greenwood Military Aviation Museum Flying Finch ... ...cover Camp programs were involved, including the 500th Cadet. “This is a sweet-flying airplane,” Huddleston said, comparing his own previous experience in an open cockpit, home built plane. “My Dad trained in the Chipmunk and the Harvard – these are excit- ing airplanes, and the amazing thing is these planes would go 10 or 12 hours in all weather.” 14 Wing Greenwood Heritage Officer Major Bob Johnson says the Finch is actually a significant visitor at 14 Wing, as it was the first aircraft to land on Greenwood’s runway in the summer of 1941. “The Finch was based out of Stanley for elementary flying training and, when Greenwood was constructed, they sent a plane over to check it out and it happened to be a Finch. None ever flew here at Greenwood – it would have been more advanced flying here.” The Cadet flying initiative was a project of the Air Force Association and the Air Cadet League of Canada. Those selected for the flights were taking part in aviation courses, and seem interested in the technical side of aviation and its history. “They may also be interested in becoming future pilots, and being able to fly in a vintage aircraft deepens their commitment,” says Johnson. aux besoins d’utilisation des FAC. Nous pouvons justifier les besoins opérationnels, mais comment justifier les besoins non opérationnels? Et même dans ce cas, où trouver l’argent? », explique Huddleston. La base fonctionne grâce à plusieurs différentes sources de financement, dont la plupart est affecté à des dépenses spécifiques. Le financement est limité, lié et difficile à « combiner » pour les projets complexes, notamment la modernisation d’équipement de projection devant être utilisé dans des locaux privées loués par la base. « Mais », rappelle Huddleston, « Les services d’information et de télécommunications de la l’escadre ont indiqué que les projecteurs actuels devenaient quasiment irréparables et approchaient la fin de leur durée de vie. La semaine dernière, l’une des ampoules de l’un des projecteurs a grillé et l’a vraiment endommagé. Il est donc temps de trouver une solution ». Huddleston n’est pas en mesure d’autoriser le remplacement du projecteur des FAC. Ce que le Zedex exige est nettement plus cher. De toute façon, il n’a pas d’argent ni pour un projecteur des FAC ni pour un projecteur de qualité commerciale. « Nous devons trouver une solution, et nous sommes conscients de l’importance du Zedex dans la communauté Aurora the Managing Editor | Directrice de rédaction Sara Keddy • 902-765-1494 local/poste 5441 editor@auroranewspaper.com Business & Advertising | Affaires commerciales et publicité Anne Kempton • 902-765-1494 local/poste 5833 marketing@auroranewspaper.com Circulation | Circulation: 5,900 Mondays | Lundis Agreement No. | Numéro de contrat : 462268 Fax: 902-765-1717 Website | Site Web : www.auroranewspaper.com CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2013 The Aurora, PO Box 99, Greenwood NS B0P 1N0 L’Aurora, C.P. 99, Greenwood (N.-É.)

Huddleston est conscient des exigences complexes concernant le financement, les questions juridiques et de transparence auxquelles la 14e Escadre doit répondre pour obtenir l’autorisation et le financement nécessaires à l’acquisition de la technologie requise ou à la mise à niveau de l’équipement projection. « Je suis ravi de voir que la communauté s’unit pour soutenir le Zedex, mais cela n’aide pas notre analyse de rentabilisation.

Huddleston estime que l’élaboration de l’analyse de rentabilisation, qu’il devra poursuivre, ne sera pas terminée avant décembre, et espère être en mesure de remplacer le projecteur à l’automne 2014. « La question est de savoir si cela comprend l’acquisition d’un projecteur numérique de qualité commerciale, mais nous examinons nos options ».

People use the mods for everything from weekend sports event housing to multi-week courses or even long-term, year-round residential stays. “All it takes is time and money,” says Lieutenant Damon Murray, accommodation officer, as outgoing Wing Commander Colonel Jim Irvine showed off the project to his replacement, Colonel Iain Huddleston, during one of Huddleston’s July familiarization briefings. Visiting flight crews from 407 Squadron have assigned accommodations in some of the renovated housing. Summer Cadet camp staff also use the space regularly. The renovation plan was designed to specifically meet Greenwood’s needs for beds and revolving guests. “There are peaks and valleys throughout the year,” said Irvine. “During June and July, we’re full.” Each of the older modular compartments contains three or four two-bedroom units with a shared washroom. The renovation turns one of the bedrooms into a sitting room, with room for a small fridge and table. The plan was to complete Greenwood’s 26 mod renovation in three years: right now, there are just seven units left to be done. The cost is about $125,000 per mod. “This is considered a ‘small’ project, not big budget,” says Murray. “Now, we are just waiting on budget numbers to finish.” Huddleston agreed the renovation results are impressive: “I’ve certainly stayed in one of these, and I do notice the difference – the significant difference.” Doing some mental math, Huddleston estimated completing the four last mod conversions, if there are funds free throughout the coming year or two, renovation contracts, funding and work could be a four-month “flash to bang” project. Colonel Iain Huddleston, left, is briefed by Lieutenant Damon Murray, right, as outgoing 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Jim Irvine led a series of familiarization briefings for his replacement. The base’s modular housing is two-thirds through a quality of life renovation. S.Keddy Les travaux modulaires améliorent la surface habitable de la base Sara Keddy, Rédactrice en chef Bon nombre de personnes pourraient se rappeler la rénovation pièce par pièce – surtout quand la date d’exécution est lointaine et nébuleuse. La 14e Escadre Greenwood rénove constamment une série de ses logements de style modulaire afin de respecter les normes des Forces armées canadiennes en matière de logement, renforcées il y a cinq ans pour améliorer la qualité de vie des locataires. On utilise les modulaires pour toutes sortes d’activités : évènements sportifs de fin de semaine, cours de plusieurs semaines voire même de longue durée, séjours en résidence à l’année longue. « Il faut tout simplement du temps et de l’argent », affirme le lieutenant Damon Murray, agent des locaux, pendant que le commandant sortant de l’Escadre, le colonel Jim Irvine, présentait le projet à son remplaçant, le colonel Iain Huddleston, lors d’une des séances de familiarisation Zedex ... ...cover doesn’t have money for either the military or movie grade projector. “We do need to find a solution, and we’re very cognizant of the value of the Zedex to the community – particularly our military families. Other bases have done this as a morale and welfare initiative, but they’ve done it in previous years when funding was not so much of a challenge.” Huddleston is appreciative of the complicated funding, legal and transparency requirements 14 Wing will have to demonstrate to access authority and funding for either the required technology or movie projector upgrades. “It’s great the community is coming together to support the Zedex, but it doesn’t help our business case. We have a bit of a hill to climb, but we want to climb it – the Zedex is an important facility, and we want to see it continue. That’s not to say we’ll be successful.” Huddleston estimates the business case development he will have to pursue could take until December, and he hopes to be able to replace the projector in the spring of 2014. “Whether that includes a commercial grade digital movie projector is the issue, but we are exploring our options.” d’Huddleston, en juillet. Des membres du personnel navigant du 407e Escadron en visite ont été accueillis dans quelques-uns des logements rénovés. Les membres du personnel du camp des cadets également utilisent l’espace régulièrement. Le plan de rénovation a été spécialement conçu pour répondre aux besoins de Greenwood en matière de lits et de rotation des invités. « On enregistre des hauts et des bas pendant l’année. Durant les mois de juin et de juillet, nous affichons complet », a dit Irvine. Chacun des anciens compartiments modulaires contient trois ou quatre unités à deux chambres, avec une salle de bain commune. Les travaux de rénovation ont permis de transformer l’une des chambres en salon, avec de la place pour un petit réfrigérateur et une petite table. L’objectif était de terminer 26 rénovations modulaires de Greenwood dans trois ans. À l’heure actuelle, il ne reste que sept unités à terminer. Le coût s’élève à environ 125 000 par modulaire. « Ce projet est considéré comme un “ petit ” projet, pas un gros budget. Maintenant, nous attendons simplement que les données budgétaires soient disponibles », affirme Murray. Le colonel Huddleston a convenu que les résultats de la rénovation sont impressionnants : « Je suis resté dans l’un de ces logements modulaires, Bonjour!

With lots of high fives, finger pointing, hand shakes, “whoohoos” and even a little dancing on the spot, 11 search and rescue technicians (SAR Techs) stepped out into 10,000 feet of airspace above 14 Wing Greenwood August 21, leaving loadmaster Master Corporal Chris Steward alone in the back of a Hercules aircraft. “On days like this, it’s hard to believe we get a pay cheque,” said SAR Tech Sergeant Paul Jackman. Two dozen SAR Techs, in all, from 413 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron and 439 Squadron, held their summer “saturation training” August 19 to 23. The annual jump camp is an invaluable opportunity to hone parachuting skills, with 25 SAR Techs putting in two or three jumps a day – more in a week than they may get in five months. “If you just do one jump, it’s a jump,” said Jackman. “If you do them back-to-back, you can correct your mistakes.” And lots can go wrong: Jackman himself was taking a day out after a bit of a bumpier landing than he’d have liked the day before. Coaches from the Canadian Sports Parachuting Association attended from the Atlantic School of Skydiving to jump with SAR Techs and share some techniques and best practices. The group practiced free fall and static jumping, landing in confined spaces and got a chance to do some tandem jumping. The days’ schedules were “all out,” Jackman said. “It’s straight up and, as quick as the air crews can turn us around, the better.

Bradshaw The 14 Wing Greenwood Wing Logistics and Engineering Branch held a change of appointment ceremony at the Annapolis Mess July 16 to welcome Chief Warrant Officer William (Bill) Hinchey. Hinchey and his wife, Colleen, spent the last five years in Kingston, Ontario, where he was posted to the Canadian Armed Forces Joint Operational Support Group and participated in both Operation PODIUM and Strategic Lines of Communication Detachment in Cyprus operations. The ceremony was presided over by Wing Logistics and Engineering Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Brian Richardson, as Chief Warrant Officer Hank Etheridge relinquished his duties and responsibilities. Etheridge will attend the year-long French language training course in Greenwood, commencing in August. Over 200 WLE branch personnel were in attendance to bid a fond farewell to Etheridge, marking his hard work and dedication during his tenure; and to welcome Hinchey. Etheridge said, with a unit of over 600 personnel - which includes both civilian and military personnel, the job of branch CWO is very busy. There is not a lot of business on the wing that does not involve one or more of WLE’s squadrons or sections, Construction Engineering, Environment, GSO, Replenishment, Transportation and Electrical and Mechanical Engineering or Telecommunications and Information Services. The branch extends the very best to Etheridge and his wife, Tanya, through the next phase of his career. The branch also took this opportunity to bid farewell to Master Warrant Officer Bill Hanham, who retired from the Canadian Armed Forces after Terry Fox Run: participants, volunteers needed Eric MacKenzie, Community recreation coordinator The 33rd Terry Fox Run will take place September 13 in Greenwood, and organizers hope to see as many military and civilian members attend as possible. Registration will take place at the 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre at noon September 13, with a warm up at 12:50 p.m., prior to the official start at 1 p.m. Walk or run either the five kilometre or 10 kilometre routes planned, or bike the 10 kilometre route. Participants under the age of eight must be accompanied by an adult. Routes will start at the community centre on Church Street, 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. The Terry Fox 100 kilometre challenge is also open for anyone who would like to run, walk or bike 10 kilometres a day for 10 straight days, starting September 4 and finishing with your final 10 kilometres during the Terry Fox Run September 13. If you are interested, contact Eric MacKenzie at the 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre, 765-1494 local 5337. This is the sixth year the Village of Kingston will partner with 14 Wing and, with this great partnership, we expect this event to be even larger and more successful than ever. It is also the goal this partnership will increase donations in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. The need for volunteers has also grown. The success of this annual community fundraiser requires a great deal of community assistance and support. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact MacKenzie. A 2013 Terry Fox Run T-shirt can be bought at http://www. terryfox.org/Merchandise/index.html, and Terry Fox Run pledge sheets are available from August 27 at the 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre, Fitness and Sports Centre, Military Family Resource Centre and CANEX; at the Greenwood Post Office, CIBC and Scotia Bank; and, in Kingston, at the post office, CIBC, Pharmasave and Avery’s Farm Market.

A $25,000 cenotaph was erected on school grounds, including the names of every Canadian who fell during the mission. The August 31 ride could easily put 500 bikers on the road, and the CAV, rally organizers and Memorial Club students are putting together a significant day: a memorial service at noon at the cenotaph will include bikers, local veterans and Legions, Silver Cross family members, dignitaries, students and community members. “We’re going to give this site the national recognition it deserves,” says Williams. A freewill offering will be collected from ride participants, and presented to the Memorial Club youth for their continuing work. Registration is online at the Wharf Rat website, or in person the morning of the ride (starting at 8 a.m.). The ride leaves Digby at 10 a.m. to arrive in Hebron at approximately 11:30 a.m. The recognition service begins at noon.

CAV members have guided rally tours in past years, but this year’s ride is a single event, focused on reaching the monument. High school students from Maple Grove High school are heavily involved with veteran activities.

Hebb, a member of Ashburn Golf Club, was spectacular on a day that was the complete opposite: he recorded three birdies, two bogeys and an eagle on the par five twelfth to propel him to victory. Entering the day one shot ahead of Gary Smith, and three strokes up Gerry MacMillan, who both play from Paragon Golf and Country Club in Kingston, Hebb turned at the nine up two shots on both golfers. MacMillan did his best to catch Hebb: on the front nine MacMillan was nothing short of brilliant, shooting a three under 33 with birdies on numbers five, six and nine. MacMillan then shot a three over on the back, eliminating any chance of catching Hebb, who notched a two under. Smith meanwhile was steady but could not match Hebb, recording four bogeys and two birdies and shooting a one over on both nines. Because of work commitments, both Hebb and MacMillan are unavailable to play at the Golf Canada Senior Championships. The Nova Scotia team will be comprised of Gary Smith, Tom Banks and John Archibald, with Les Smith as alternate. In other divisional play, Sandy Herrick of Paragon took top honours in the super senior category, besting hometown golfer Charlie Costin of Greenwood. In division two, John Brown of Riverside Golf Club, near Saint John, took top honours, followed by McDonell of Oakfield. In the third division, Curtis Duggan of Amherst bested Herrick by three strokes. And, in the fourth division, Frank Cotton of Eden bested Dale Jenkins and Ed Brown of Glen Lovat and Eagle Crest. McMullen, Banks capture senior men’s four ball title Lorne McMullen and Erwin Banks shot a sizzling hot 66 August 16, the lowest round of the day, to claim the 28th NSGA Senior Men’s Four Ball Championship. McMullen, a member at Eden Golf and Country Club, and Banks, a member at Paragon, had six birdies in total: two on the front nine and four on the back; their only blemish being a bogey on the par four eleventh. Entering the day three shots behind leaders Gary and Les Smith, McMullen and Banks needed to have a strong round. They came through, winning by two strokes over the brothers from Paragon. Finishing in second were the Smiths, who shot an even par 71 to finish two strokes back. The Smiths were plus one on the front nine, but rebounded with three birdies and two bogeys on the back. The brothers also won the first division gross.

Tami Parks, left, and Kevin O’Keefe, of Aylesford, were part of a medalsweeping individual and team badminton contingent at the World Masters Games in Italy earlier this month. Submitted O’Keefe, Parks win seven medals at World Master Games Two Aylesford badminton players returned from Torino, Italy with seven medals between them from the World Masters Games, August 2 to 12. The World Masters Games is the largest sporting event for athletes over the age of 35. More than 19,000 athletes from around the world competed in more than 30 different sporting events, from archery to volleyball. It is held every four years, and the format is similar to the Olympics. Tami Parks, a dentist in Greenwood, competed in 40+ Women’s Doubles with Petya Georgieva from Bulgaria, a former World Masters champion. Together, they defeated athletes from Russia, Spain, Greece and Canada, losing only in the final to an elite team from Ukraine. Parks teamed up with spouse Kevin O’Keefe in the 45+ Mixed Doubles event and also went undefeated until the finals, where they lost a close three-game decision to Kim Calvert and Sherilyn Blight from New Zealand. O’Keefe also competed in both 50+ Men’s Doubles with Quebec native Robert Desroches, and in 50+ Mixed Doubles with Irina Shamakova from Russia. Despite having never played with these partners before - and considerable language barriers, O’Keefe captured both gold medals in these events. In team competition, Parks and O’Keefe joined a strong group of players from Quebec. Their team, named “Fleur- de-lys,” captured the bronze medal, just one point behind the American squad, which took silver. A dominant Russian team captured the gold medal. Team captain Parks was thrilled with the level of performance, despite temperatures between 37 degrees Celsius and 40 C. Both Valley athletes were pleasantly surprised with their results, as it had been 25 years since they competed at this level. They attribute their strong performances to the considerable support they received from many people at home. Parks is grateful to have worked with Middleton personal trainer Cathy West for the last number of years. “Our original goals were solely to become more healthy. It came as a sur- prise that I have become fit enough to compete at this level again,” says Parks. “The physiotherapy treatment and advice that we have received has also been crucial,“ says O’Keefe. “Both physios, Jessica Ritchie of Greenwood and Christina Connolly of Berwick, were instrumental in getting us back on the court after numerous small training injuries over the last year. Lastly, the support we got from the players and staff at the gym at 14 Wing Greenwood was fantastic.” The couple plans on taking a few weeks off, but looks forward to playing in many more tournaments. Their long-term goal will be to participate in 2017 at the World Masters Games in Auckland, New Zealand. GREENWOOD SKATING CLUB REGISTRATION TUESDAY, AUGUST 27 6:30-8:30 P.M.
