Canadian send-off
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
It was a dark and rainy night
on the airfield at 14 Wing
Greenwood October 24, as 34
personnel departed in support
of Operation Impact.
Security remained high
around the base, with sev-
eral guards at the single base
gate open into the evening
and flags remaining at half
staff following the deaths
earlier in the week of two
Canadian Armed Forces soldiers in independent attacks
in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,
Quebec, and Ottawa. Media
invited to cover the departure
were under strict instructions
regarding imagery, and access was limited across the
open floor of 11 Hangar, the
home of 405 Squadron and
from where departing members and their families were
greeted by Wing Commander
Colonel Iain Huddleston, and
visiting guests Commander
of the Royal Canadian Air
Force Lieutenant-General Yvon
Blondin, Minister of Justice
Peter MacKay and West Nova
Member of Parliament Greg
Kerr.
“We wouldn’t miss this,”
Kerr said.
“There is a lot on Canadians’
minds, and we are blessed to

staff and families has been
challenged this fall – and I
want to let all of you know
how proud I am of the efforts
you’ve put forward to “Operate
as One.”
In September, our focus
turned towards the potential
requirement, recently confirmed, to deploy up to 80
personnel in short order on
a very demanding mission.
We are all aware of the threat
posed by the Islamic State of
Iraq and Levant within its immediate region of operations.
Furthermore, recent events
in Canada, with the deaths of
Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent
in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
and Corporal Nathan Cirillo
in Ottawa, highlight the wider
international extremist threat
and serve to reinforce the
importance of the commitment
Canada has made through this
mission.
Here at 14 Wing, responding to the requirements of
Operation Impact has meant
a busy schedule for the com-
mand team, and I thank my
immediate advisors and senior
leaders for their determination
and mission focus. Of course,
these efforts quickly encompassed the Wing, with the
requirement to respond either
to deployment messages, or to
ensuring those deploying were
100 per cent ready and supported in all areas. The logistics of organizing a successful
short-notice deployment are
many and complicated: seeing
the professionalism and the
personal touches of each and
every individual involved in
these preparations has been
incredibly inspiring. There
were always treats on the
window ledge of the cashiers’
office. A full complement of
floor hockey equipment was
gathered and shipped with our
first planeload of supplies. All
of our sections and supporting
elements – Readiness Training Flight, Replenishment, 26
Health Services, Wing Administration, the Fitness Centre
staff, 14 Air Maintenance
Squadron, 404 Squadron,
Maritime Proving and Evaluation Unit, 14 Software Engineering Squadron and more
– have stepped up and more
than fulfilled the expectations
I had, and that the Canadian

“Government and Canada are
behind them.”
The RCAF contingent included an earlier send-off October
21 of 14 Wing personnel and
equipment on a CC177 Globemaster III from the Greenwood
airfield, and six CF188 Hornets
from 4 Wing Cold Lake; and
the October 23 departure of
a CC150 Polaris from 8 Wing
Trenton, which also stopped
in Greenwood to collect personnel. The two CP140M
Auroras will conduct surveillance and reconnaissance.
Approximately 600 personnel
– including air crew support
elements – have deployed on
the mission. About 80 members will come from 14 Wing
Greenwood. Operation Impact
is the Canadian contribution to
coalition assistance to security
forces in the Republic of Iraq,
fighting against the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant
(known as ISIL).
“The connectivity of the
aircraft we are sending – with
our own and allies’ aircraft – is
what you will hear our personnel and others talk about first.
It is interoperability,” MacKay
said, acknowledging the enhanced capabilities in the
remodelled Block III Auroras
coming from 14 Wing. “This
is key.”
Wing Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston hosted visiting guests Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force Lieutenant-General Yvon

Armed Forces demands.
Our 14 Wing families have
been just as involved in this
deployment, whether their
military member has simply
been involved in the higher
operational tempo required to
ensure that the deployment is
fully supported, or if their husband, wife, father or mother is
one of those actually deploying. The 14 Wing team that
directly looks after our families
– our chaplains, the Personnel
Support Program staff and the
employees and volunteers at
the Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre – have
shown their strength and
excellence in recent weeks.
The family briefing in October
was well-presented and wellreceived, and the array of support programs and services
available for our families is a
reassurance for me, my command team and to each and
every deploying and working
member at 14 Wing.
As we move from the preparation phase into the sustainment phase, we will be
required to maintain much
of the focus that has made
us successful over the past
weeks. There is little room to
relax or take a break; 14 Wing
operations must remain flexible and resilient, now with two
goals: that of maintaining our
domestic mandate of surveillance, search and rescue and
NORAD support while also
effectively supporting our
deployment. Recent events
underline the parallel requirement for increased vigilance
on the wing and in our immediate community.
This requirement involves
each member of our Defence
Team, as well as our families
and the wider community.

Merci au personnel de la 14e
Escadre pour ses efforts concertés
Colonel Iain Huddleston,
Commandant,
14e Escadre Greenwood
Notre équipe de la Défense à la
14e Escadre Greenwood, formée
des militaires, des employés de
soutien civils et des familles,
a fait face à divers défis cet
automne et je tiens à vous dire
que je suis très fier des efforts
que vous avez déployés pour
incarner la devise de l’Escadre,
« Unis dans l’action ».
En septembre, notre attention
s’est dirigée vers le besoin potentiel, et récemment confirmé,
de déployer jusqu’à 80 membres
sans délai dans le cadre d’une
mission très difficile. Nous sommes tous très conscients de la
menace que présente l’État islamique en Iraq et au Levant dans
la zone immédiate d’opérations.
De plus, les récents événements
qui se sont produits au Canada
et qui ont causé la mort de
l’adjudant Patrice Vincent à SaintJean-sur-Richelieu et du caporal
Nathan Cirillo à Ottawa mettent
en évidence la menace élargie
que posent les groupes extrémistes partout dans le monde
et renforcent l’importance de
l’engagement du Canada dans le
cadre de la mission.
Ici, à la 14e Escadre, l’équipe
de commandement a dû se soumettre à un horaire très chargé
pour être en mesure de répondre
aux exigences de l’opération
impact, et je tiens à remercier
mes proches conseillers et hauts
dirigeants de leur détermination
et de leur engagement envers
la mission. Il est entendu qu’un
effort tout aussi important fut
déployé l’échelle de l’Escadre,
alors que le personnel devait
réagir aux messages de déploiement ou veiller à ce que les
militaires déployés soient tout à
fait prêts et bien soutenus, et ce,
à tous les niveaux. La logistique
s’appliquant à l’organisation d’un
déploiement réussi avec un court
préavis est importante et compli-
quée. Le professionnalisme des
membres qui ont participé aux
préparatifs ainsi que leurs petites
touches personnelles furent une
grande source de motivation. On
trouvait toujours des gâteries
près de la fenêtre du bureau du
caissier. De l’équipement complet de hockey en salle a également été rassemblé et envoyé par
avion avec le premier chargement
de matériel. Toutes nos sections
et tous nos éléments de soutien
(Escadrille d’instruction en disponibilité opérationnelle, Réapprovisionnement, 26e Centre des
services de santé, Administration
de l’escadre, personnel du Centre
de conditionnement physique,
14e Escadron de maintenance
(Air), 404e Escadron, Unité maritime d’essais et d’évaluation, 14e
Escadron de génie logiciel, etc.)
ont apporté leur contribution et
ont largement dépassé mes attentes ainsi que celles des Forces
armées canadiennes.
Les familles de la 14e Escadre ont elles aussi participé
au processus de déploiement,
en soutenant les militaires qui
devaient suivre le rythme opérationnel élevé nécessaire en appui
au déploiement, ou en offrant leur
appui à leur être cher (conjoint,
conjointe, époux, épouse, père,
mère) qui serait déployé. Les
membres de l’équipe de la 14e
Escadre qui s’occupent directement de nos familles, soit nos
aumôniers, les membres du Programme de soutien du personnel
et les employés et les bénévoles
du Centre de ressources pour
les familles des militaires Greenwood, ont prouvé leur force et
leur excellence au cours des
dernières semaines. La séance
d’information à l’intention des
familles qui a eu lieu en octobre
a été bien présentée et bien reçue.
La vaste gamme de programmes
et de services de soutien offerts
à nos familles est un facteur
rassurant pour moi, pour mon
équipe de commandement ainsi
que pour tous les militaires
déployés et les membres de la
14e Escadre.
Pendant la transition de la
phase de préparation à la phase
de maintien, nous devrons continuer à nous concentrer sur les
éléments qui nous ont permis de
connaître du succès au cours des
dernières semaines. Nous avons
peu de temps pour nous arrêter et
nous reposer : à la 14e Escadre, il
faut maintenir la force et la flexibilité des opérations qui répondent maintenant à deux objectifs :
remplir notre mandat national de
surveillance, de recherche et sauvetage et de soutien du NORAD,
tout en soutenant avec efficacité
notre déploiement. Les récents
événements soulignent l’exigence
parallèle de faire preuve d’une
vigilance accrue à l’escadre ainsi
que dans notre communauté
immédiate.
Cette exigence nécessite la
participation de tous les membres de l’équipe de la Défense,
de nos familles et des membres
de la collectivité élargie. Une sensibilisation accrue peut prendre
diverses formes, mais je vous demande de porter votre attention
sur les gens qui vous entourent et
sur la façon dont ils réagissent à
votre présence, que vous portiez
l’uniforme ou non. Si vous sentez
que quelque chose ne tourne pas
rond, que ce soit à l’escadre ou
dans la collectivité, veuillez faire
part de vos préoccupations à
la police militaire ou à la GRC.
Chacun d’entre nous joue un
rôle important pour assurer notre
sécurité collective. Ce n’est pas le
moment de réagir de façon exagérée, mais c’est certainement
le temps de prendre conscience
des risques et de nous protéger
et de protéger nos familles et les
membres de notre équipe.
Pour conclure, je tiens simplement à vous remercier de votre
engagement et des nombreux
sacrifices que vous faites tous
pour réaliser la mission de la 14e
Escadre et pour servir le Canada
et les Canadiens.
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 098 Kingston service officer Don MacCoy, left, and
branch treasurer Art LeDuc attended a 14 Wing briefing October 22 to share some

What awaits retired members of the Canadian Armed

The same thing that is available now: camaraderie, support and a feeling of service to
community and country.
Representatives of the Royal
Canadian Legion are regularly
a part of the two-day presentations that make up 14 Wing
Greenwood’s SCAN seminar
(Second Career Assistance
Network), designed to guide
CAF members in their future
choices after a military career.
From Branch 098 Kingston,
Legion service officer Don
MacCoy and branch treasurer Art LeDuc admitted they
“try and recruit” retiring CAF
members - but that is not all
they do.

is not something you have to
wait to do until you retire – that
is false,” Le Duc said. Anyone
with a military affiliation or
interest may join at any age,
under different membership
classifications.
Once a member, individuals may take advantage of
the range of social and entertainment activities regularly
scheduled at a Legion branch,
from cards and pool to exercise classes and luncheons.
Legions are community hubs
for seniors’ groups, craft organizations, public events
and meetings and family celebrations. And, members are
active supporting national
and local initiatives which
aid veterans, military mem-

bers, Cadet units, youth and
health organizations, student
scholarship funds, athletic
and leadership development
programs and more.
MacCoy said the Legion is
also focussed on helping its
own; as service officer, it’s
his role to “help you, with
anything we can do: medical
equipment for loan, the veterans’ independence program
for you or your spouse or
widow.”
LeDuc, a retired chief warrant officer with 47 years in
the military; and MacCoy, a
retired master corporal with 32
years of military service; both
agree on one of the Legion’s
strengths: “After you leave
the armed forces, you have a
place to go.”

the Canadian Armed Forces,” says Commodore Mark
Watson, Director General,

Birthday wish
James Reinhart, right, made his now annual birthday
visit to a local charity recently, meeting Pastor John
Andrews of Open Arms in Kentville. For the past six
years, James has asked birthday party guests to support
a charity in lieu of personal gifts, letting them know
which charity he’s suggesting with a printed pamphlet in
each invitation. This year, as James learned more about
the death of Harley Lawrence in Berwick, he wanted to
help with homeless issues. Through his mom, Kelly’s,
nursing work, they explored Open Arms and how the
agency helps struggling people with comfort, friendship and support. James is learning everyone can make
a difference, and hopes to see Open Arms, presently
operating in Kentville and Berwick, expand someday
soon to Kingston.

Conflicting messages confuse you
this week, Aries. Just don’t let this
confusion keep you from doing what
you think is right. Choose a course
and stick with it.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Don’t be too hard on yourself this
week, Taurus. You really do not
need to push yourself unless you
are feeling motivated to do so. If you
feel like relaxing, so be it.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the
room and be a quiet observer of what’s
going on around you instead of being
the center of attention. You may enjoy
being a fly on the wall for a change.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, this week you may feel an
unusual need to be noticed and
appreciated by others. Embrace the
spotlight and make the most of this
opportunity to share your thoughts.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, you may find it hard to establish
your priorities this week, but you
have a good head on your shoulders
and will figure out the path to take.
Give yourself a chance to have fun.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, do the right thing even if it
costs you something emotionally.
Your actions may be carefully
monitored, and someone is learning

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!

grounds were made up of the
collaborated efforts of local
residents of Tremont who donated land for the cemeteries,
including the Baker, McGinnis,
Banks and Neiley families.
The society completed its
first year of operation in maintaining the grounds of both
the “New” and “Old” Tremont
Cemeteries. The group has
applied for charity status, is
looking into having the “Old”
Cemetery designated a heritage property, and is looking
into many other options to
help maintain these grounds.
Signage has been installed at
the “New” Cemetery and new
gates have been purchased to
replace the deteriorated ones
at the “Old” Cemetery. A successful awareness campaign
at the Tremont World Fair
included a treasure hunt to
encourage learning about the
history that exists within the
historic tiered “Old” Tremont
Cemetery, and plans are underway for a future graveyard
tour. There is also a Facebook
page the public is welcome to
check out.
The next leaf raking work

Tremont Mountain Road (rain

Libra, try your hardest to make a
tricky set of circumstances work
to your advantage. Working with a
partner is a great way to get things
done.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, you are better at dealing
with things when they’re out in the
light of day. You don’t like to be
secretive, nor do you like the idea
of others keeping secrets.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, do not look at a current
problem as something that will
always block your success and
happiness. Instead, use this obstacle
as a way to get your bearings.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, though you may feel like
lashing out at others, this week you
show an impressive amount of selfrestraint. Get through the week, and
things will turn around.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
The messages you are receiving from
everyone around you seem mottled

support from your closest allies.
Maybe they do not know how you’re

Lions’ fall season reflects
service, community success
Lion Pat Nixon,
Kingston Lions Club
As fall passes, your hardworking Kingston Lions are
busy with both the fall and
Christmas seasons. Their
schedule includes a recent
supper fundraiser for Campaign
for Kids, regular bingos, noon
luncheons and variety music
nights; serving and preparing
the November 11 supper at
the Legion, hosting Christmas
parties, the Christmas Mommies & Daddies telethon and
hamper program, the Christmas
music show on behalf of the
Upper Room Food Bank and
the ever-popular Christmas Eve
breakfast.
Kingston Lions are all about
service to the community. Lions
have made recent donations to
a number of organizations: the
autism chapter received funding to help purchase sport and
gym equipment for a program
for children with autism; Camp
Treasure Chest received a donation and the Upper Room Food
Bank received $1,500. Lions
also donated skates to local
schools and skis to the Kingston
Scouts. At the October 6 meeting, Lion Russell Maillet, chairman of the 2014 Kingston Steer
BBQ & Village Fair, presented a
cheque representing the Kingston Lions Club’s share of the
proceeds from this year’s event.
These funds will continue to be
put back into the community
as part of Lions’ projects and

charitable efforts.
During our Wednesday night
bingos, Lions will be accepting
donations in support of the annual Coats for Kids program.
This worthwhile program collects gently used winter coats
and then distributes them to
local children who might otherwise not be able to afford a
winter coat. From now through
November, you may drop off
coats in the drop box at the
Kingston Lions Hall.
The Lions’ annual Peace
Poster Contest was judged October 28 by a panel of five community judges. Local students,
including home schoolers, were
invited to depict the importance
of peace, tolerance and international understanding. The winning poster from each school
may now advance through
various local, District, provincial
and national level competitions
to the international level.
Planning your annual Christmas party? Give the Lions a
call at 902-765-2128 to see
what we have to offer. We have
full, in-house catering, bar, a
dance area and stage for your
event. Available dates are filling up fast.
We are always looking for
new members to join our vibrant club. Give us a call!

Snow Ball was the special guest during children’s story time at The People’s 25:40
Church in Greenwood. The 10-day-old white shorthorn was brought in by Marven
Armstrong.
M.Rolph
Snow Ball goes to church
Murray Rolph
The Sunday service October 19 at The People’s
25:40 Church in Greenwood included a special
guest during the children’s story.
A local and dedicated farm family, the Armstrongs, spoke with the children about being a
Christian, using local pumpkins as props. Marven
Armstrong also talked about and introduced a fourlegged guest from his farm, “Snow Ball.” Snow
Ball is a very uncommon, pure white shorthorn
heifer calf from Carole and Marven and Carole’s
North Kingston farm. Marven said he has only
seen two on his farm: Snow Ball, 10 days old
on this visit, and a bull calf named “Snowball,”
owned by Marven’s father some 50 years ago.
In the past, Marven has occasionally brought
in farm animals to explain how they are involved
in the church’s world. All enjoyed the service
and the guest(s).
