Major Lara Jennings & Captain David Bernatchez,

404 (Long Range Patrol and Training) Squadron

A 404 (Long Range Patrol and Training) Squadron crew recently deployed to Andøya, Norway, in sup-port of the Royal Canadian Navy’s HMCS Montréal on Exercise Neptune Trident 17, a deployment that included the ship’s participation in multiple international exercises in Northern Europe.

This iteration of JOLTEX 17, held October 27 through November 2, had a joint targeting

scenario, including Army, Navy and Air Force elements conducting Harpoon missile fi ring pro-cedures. The scenario was facilitated by Andøya Test Centre staff and vessels on a local fi ring range in Northern Norway.

Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) participants included HMCS Montréal, 404 Squadron’s CP140 Aurora from 14 Wing Greenwood and a team of forward air controllers from the Canadian Special Operations Regiment.

The 404 Squadron crew was led by Major Alex Gignac. While Greenwood enjoyed an extended autumn, the CP140 crew battled early morning

snowstorms and winter conditions to get the air-craft airborne and on station, on time, to support the shoot. The crew then conducted two sorties in support of the exercise, as HMCS Montréal pre-pared to launch two Harpoon missiles at a target in the fi ring range. October 31, months of planning and training for the Harpoon shoot were validated when HMCS Montréal launched its fi rst missile of the day, which accurately reached its target.

This exercise marks the first time a Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) East Coast ship has fi red Harpoon missiles since Halifax Class frigates were commissioned in the 1990s, and the RCN’s sec-

A court martial took place November 1 at 14 Wing Greenwood, as Aviator N.E.B. Burrell from 14 Mis-sion Support Squadron/ Wing Construction Engi-neering was tried for a se-ries of drug and weapons charges.

Burrell was sentenced on three charges, for which he entered guilty pleas; he pleaded not guilty to four charges.

on three charges, with the fourth stayed. Further, re-lease action will be started, ending Burrell’s service with the Canadian Armed Forces.

Burrell was charged Au-gust 14, 2016, after Military Police arrested him May 14 following the seizure of a half-kilogram of marijuana, packing materials, produc-tion equipment and a non-service issued fi rearm from his home. He faced seven charges, all punishable un-der Section 130 of the Na-tional Defence Act, including production of a substance, contrary to Section 7(2)(a.1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; traffi cking, contrary to Section 5(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; possession for the purpose of traffi ck-

ond ever land-based target. It also represents the Royal Canadian Air Force’s contri-bution to a milestone joint achievement, and is a critical example of the integration of

all three elements of the CAF. Joint targeting is a relative-

ly new skill set for the RCN, and this exercise served as the proving grounds for the process and its associated tactics. The CP140 Aurora provided the independent

intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance com-ponent required to enable the targeting portion of the launch; and, additionally, the CP140’s sensor and com-munication suites were put to the test as they recorded

the live launch and impact of the Harpoon shoot. The aircraft also enabled a joint link between the ocean-based ship and land-based Army observers, using the aircraft’s communication relay function to facilitate

seamless voice communica-tions.

As expected, weath er made the fi ring challenging, with crews having to fi ght through thick fog banks, alternating rain, snow and hail showers; as well as icing

conditions.This example of joint

functionality and teamwork exemplifies the 14 Wing motto, “Operate as One,” and expands it beyond the wing to encompass all three elements of the CAF.

of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; possession of a weapon for a danger-ous purpose, contrary to Section 88 of the Criminal Code of Canada; unauthor-ized possession of a fi rearm, contrary to Section 91(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada; using a fi rearm in a careless manner or without reason-able precautions for the safety of other personas, contrary to Section 86(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada; and storing a firearm in contravention of the Stor-age, Display, Transportation and Handling of Firearms by Individuals Regulations, contrary to Section 86(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

The court martial was open to the public. Com-mander M. Sukstorf, Military Judge, presided.

Ice timeOctober 20, the members of 14 Construction Engineering Squadron took to the ice for a learn-to-sledge-hockey session in recognition of Canadian Armed Forces National Sports Day. This was a community-based opportunity, with Kevin Benjamin, general manager of the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre, supplying the ice time, the local major midget South Shore Mustangs hockey team offering up protective equipment and local sledge hockey guru Dave Waters on hand with on-ice instruction. The members went through warm up drills and end-to-end races, culminating with a fast-paced game. All participants agreed: at the end of the hour, they shared a new respect for sledge hockey and the players that take to the ice to play this incredibly demanding sport. Honorary Colonel D. Hennessey, 14 Construction Engineering Squadron

Originally known as the Base Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Organiza-tion (BAMEO) Branch, 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS) stood up in 1993 from the Air Command Bases Wing orga-nizational concept. While the role and structure of 14 AMS has changed over the quarter of a century since it came into being, its commitment to the 14 Wing Greenwood’s mis-sion remains at the forefront,

14 AMS marks pride, recognition of mission support record

October 24, the Halifax Joint Rescue Coordination Centre dispatched a 413 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron Cor-morant helicopter just before 7 p.m. to assist a vessel taking on water south of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. There were four or five individuals aboard. Four vessels in the vicinity and Provincial Airlines were also assisting in this task. Rescue 913 was stood down about 10:30 p.m., and returned to 14 Wing Greenwood for continued crew night training.

October 25, Hercules Res-cue 344 launched from Green-wood at 8:30 a.m. to conduct an EPRB search in Gaspé, Quebec.

October 31, just after 8 a.m., a 413 Squadron Cor-morant left Greenwood in response to a possible beacon

going off in the Bay of Fundy. The response crew was head-ing out on night training, so spent four hours on the beacon call before standing down their search.

November 1, around 9:30 p.m. Cormorant R913 was tasked in response to a

fulfilling an important role within 14 Wing and the long range patrol (LRP) commu-nity locally and abroad.

The squadron is uniquely identifi ed by its heraldic crest and individual motto. Having a close connection to the surrounding community, the crest includes an apple blos-som to represent squadron ties to the Annapolis Valley, with a worker bee repre-senting the hard working 14 AMS airmen and airwomen. Reflecting the squadron’s commitment to excellence

and perfection, the squadron’s motto for nearly a decade has been: “Dedicated, Driven, and Ready.”

With time comes change and celebration. 14 AMS Com-manding Offi cer Lieutenant-Colonel Amy Tsai-Lamoureux believes the squadron is at a juncture within the CP140 fl eet, with a need to get back to its roots and focus on the basics: meeting com-mitments in both a timely and professional manner to support the wing’s mission. It’s that simple. She believes

medevac in the vicinity of Sept-Îles. It was stood down within a half-hour, as it was determined a Griffon could complete the tasking, and returned to Greenwood just after 11 p.m.

November 7, a CC130 Her-cules from 413 Squadron

was tasked just after 8 p.m. while airborne to respond to a declared mayday from the Carmel 3, 70 nautical miles southwest of Yarmouth. Three people were reported onboard the vessel, which had lost power and had close-to-dead batteries. A Cormorant heli-

copter crew was also called out, airborne just after 9 p.m. The Hercules dropped a radio to establish communications, and a Coast Guard vessel from Clarks Harbour was en route to provide a tow. Assets were stood down by JRCC just after 10 p.m., with the Hercules re-

turning to night-fl ying duties and the Cormorant returning to 14 Wing.

November 8, just after 5 p.m., a Greenwood Hercules left for Goose Bay to pick up a woman in premature labour and transport her to St. John’s.

14 AMS will prove, through its actions and commitment to excellence, it is second to

none, with personnel stand-ing behind the aircraft and services provided to the fl eet and the wing.

October 31, during 14 AMS’ professional development day, Tsai-Lamoureux pre-sented squadron members with new mission and vision statements, explaining the rationale for change. The squadron must demonstrate high quality and pride in work-manship; 14 AMS is at the forefront of CP140 Aurora operations at a time when air-

craft are in high demand. With the renewed focus on pride, a revised motto – “Proud – Dedicated – Driven - Ready!” - also builds on tradition and excellence, inspiring mem-bers to be better.

With an all-encompassing 25-year history of 14 AMS, it is time to express its pride and accomplishments through celebration. May 31, 2018, 14 AMS will mark that 25 years with a semi-formal gala, open to 14 AMS members, spouses and squadron alumni.

A granola bar, coffee or cookie adds up, as the Kingston/ Greenwood Mental Health Association recently discovered.

Daisy Dwyer, the chair-woman of the association, was invited to the 14 Wing Greenwood Learning and Career Centre October 31 to accept a $300 cheque from centre staff. The money was raised from the LCC’s mini-canteen, which offers people attending its regular classes and workshops the chance to grab a snack or drink on breaks.

“People come in and sup-port the canteen, and any-thing above our costs goes to charity,” said Kristen Warner, the LCC’s director. Funds ac-cumulate over a few months and, every once in awhile, the

LCC makes a contribution to a local organization. There are notes on the wall above the canteen shelf from the food bank, Chrysalis House, the SPCA and other groups who have all benefi ted from the canteen’s proceeds.

Having recently completed a training to teach a new pro-gram, “Mental Health in the Workplace,” Warner and her team thought the most recent contribution would be best matched with a community-based mental health initiative.

Dwyer says the LCC’s con-tribution will support the as-sociation’s mental health fi rst aid trainings offered spring and fall, and the group’s planned May session, “Com-munity Conversations,” when representatives of many com-munity outreach programs are invited to connect on common mental health-re-lated issues.

rity Forum is an independent, non-profi t, non-partisan orga-nization based in Washington, DC. Its annual forum brings

together people who are on the ground facing local threats, writers who challenge the world’s thinking on security and global decision-makers who make the tough choices.

The Honourable Harjit Sajjan, Canada’s Minister of National Defence, will again host.

“The Halifax International Security Forum’s annual agen-da is specifi cally designed to advance the cause of democ-racies and democrats around the world,” said Peter Van Praagh, president of Halifax International Security Forum. “Every day, the leaders who attend Halifax deal with the

world as it is. But, as a group, we aim to secure our values.

“Just 25 years after victory in the Cold War, our commu-nity of democracies fi nds itself today in the uncomfortable position of searching for our shared purpose.”

The opening panel Novem-ber 17, “Peace? Prosperity? Principle? Securing What Pur-pose?,” probes the underlying question whose answer ev-

eryone at Halifax is searching for. Topics continue through the forum, including making peace with women, rebuild-ing the Middle East, climate change, space defence issues, nuclear and cyber concerns, international relations, confl ict solutions, artifi cial intelligence, natural disaster response and energy challenges.

Halifax Rifles prepare for domestic response

A G-Wagen reconnaissance vehicle from the Halifax Rifles provides overwatch dur-ing a beachhead reconnaissance in Baxter’s Harbour during Exercise Tempest Spur.

Captain J. Rideout, Halifax Rifl es

The Halifax Rifl es (Royal Canadian Armoured Corps) held Exercise Tempest Spur 2017 October 20 to 22 in Kings County.

The Army Reserve regi-ment is based in Halifax and at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Detachment

Aldershot, and will accept the Canadian Army’s new tactical armoured patrol ve-hicle (TAPV) platform in early 2018.

The Rifl es are an armoured reconnaissance unit and, like many other units in the Army Reserve, may be tasked with

supporting provincial authori-ties in the event of a domestic emergency. Tempest Spur was a troop-level exercise to confi rm soldiers’ skills within a fi ctional scenario, where a hurricane had damaged roads and infrastructure in the area. Members of the unit carried out route reconnaissance and security tasks in the Kentville, Centreville and Baxter’s Har-bour areas.

“Exercises like these are designed to prepare our sol-

diers for tasks that we can be asked to do at any time on short notice, while at the same time confi rming those basic skills that we would use in any scenario,” says Captain Jake Rideout, the unit’s operations offi cer.

Despite its name, the unit has ties to the Annapolis Valley, where several of its members live and work. The delivery of the TAPV platform, to be housed at Detachment Aldershot, will augment its current fl eet of G-Wagen reconnaissance vehicles. To operate the new fl eet, the unit is setting up a satellite sub-unit at De-tachment Aldershot and ac-tively recruiting soldiers in the Valley. Members of the Army Reserve serve part-time, receive competitive pay and benefits, undergo training and develop skills that translate to their civilian lives and have opportunities for full-time employment and advancement. Members can receive up to $2,000 per year in tuition reimbursement for accredited college and university programs and can be employed full-time in the summer. For information on joining the Army Reserve in the Valley, contact Sergeant Cameron Morse at [email protected].

A song about love, dedica-tion and family sacrifi ce has been released for Remem-brance Day by award-winning Canadian recording artist Loreena McKennitt.

The single, “Breaking of the Sword,” was inspired during McKennitt’s participation in April at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial for the 100th anniversary of the histori c Battle of Vimy Ridge, where she experienced a palpable sense of profound loss. Dur-ing the ceremony, she per-formed “Dante’s Prayer” from her 1997 album, “The Book of Secrets.”

“I feel the sentiment of this song is both timeless and

Joanne Light

“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings… The high untres-passed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.”

So wrote the gifted poet, 19-year-old pilot John Gil-lespie Magee, Jr., in the oft-memorized 1917 poem, “High Flight.” And so recited Marg Weeks, a member of the Kings-

universal,” says McKennitt, who, in this new, original piece, evokes both her role as an artist and as honorary colonel of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The music weaves to-gether the military family and Canadian communities, with contributions from the Ottawa-based Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces and the 90-voice Stratford Concert Choir, located in McKennitt’s home base of Stratford, Ontario, and led by director Ian Sadler.

The title of the song is bor-rowed from a group of statues on the Vimy Memorial called the Defenders, particularly

those known as the Breaking of the Sword. The Canadian National Vimy Memorial con-sists of 20 symbolic statues, the largest of which is known as Canada Bereft. Some-times called Mother Canada, it personifi es a young nation mourning its dead.

“When I looked at Canada Bereft with her head bowed in grief, I found it so moving and powerful,” says McKen-nitt. “When you lose a child, that unimaginable loss and longing is felt the world over. It transcends borders and cultures and time itself.

McKennitt’s song is writ-ten in the fi rst person from a mother’s perspective. It

describes the sunny April morning the child is born and how he grows up to work in the fi elds and stables along-side her. The war then calls him away, where he is killed in battle.

“From a personal stand-point, the closest I have come to witnessing this loss from the immediate family’s ex-perience has been when I attended two repatriation ceremonies,” refl ects McKen-nitt. “The last time the families had seen their loved ones was when they were departing from home. Now, they were coming back in a casket. Wit-nessing the spouses and chil-dren during their moments

of dealing with this reality is something I will never forget.

“In my 11 years of being

an honorary colonel, I have come to realize there are at least three kinds of families experiencing loss in times of sacrifi ce – the immediate family, the military family and the communities where our fallen have lived. I have tried to represent each of them in my arrangement, symbolical-ly drawing upon the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as our local community concert choir.”

“In the contemporary sense, families of those who serve continue to make huge compromises and sacrifi ces to support their loved ones, regardless of their mission or task – from combat to humanitarian to search-and-rescue missions; to the de-mands of daily training and operations. We, as citizens, owe those who serve, as well as their families; our immense gratitude and, at the very least, the act of re-membrance.”

“Breaking of the Sword” is available digitally via iTunes, Amazon Music Unlimited, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play Music and more. One hundred per cent of her Cana-dian proceeds will be donated to the Support Our Troops Fund, which provides fi nan-cial support and assistance to Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans and their respective families.

Kingston United scores with ‘We’ll Meet Again’ dinner theatreton United Church, which presented a recent evening of choral and solo song, drama and instrumental accompani-ment, narrated by the musical theatre’s creator and producer, Loretta Piper (with Kelly Acker Roy and Marg Weeks).

Piper began telling the audi-ence that the evening would evoke what war was like for those back home: contribut-ing to the war effort, enduring the absence of loved ones and bearing the unbearable heartache when they didn’t come back.

Johnny and Mary, played by Jackie and Ron Clements, were two young lovers caught up in wartime separation. Their story was punctuated by a feast of wartime favourite songs and skits, delivered by the afore-mentioned and Gerald Bent, Stewart Roy, Mark Rutherford, Diane Cushing, Pearl Drolet,

Joy Vidito, Linda Winton and David Skidmore. The evening’s keystone were three fabulous instrumentalists: Marion Krisk on piano, George Piper on saxophone and Andrew Mo-rash on bass.

The players did double duty, also serving the meal to ap-proximately 129 guests, in-cluding around 30 Red Hatters.

The cast put in a gargantuan effort, with the two months’ of practising countless hours

per week; well worth it, as all enjoyed the moving and merry machinations of the story inter-spersed with humorous “live commercials” promoting the shows’ dinner sponsors for the three-course meal, prepared by the Kingston Lions’ Club.

This fourth and only “dinner theatre” incarnation of this pro-duction included milestones: Diane Cushing’s fi rst time on a stage, and the curtain call in a long history of such dinner

theatres, including “Clay Days” and “the Roaring Twenties,” produced by Loretta Piper, now retiring from creative and com-munity involvement in dinner theatre productions.J. Light

October 29, musicians from the 14 Wing and the Bridgewater Fire Department bands combined in “Mutual Aid,” presenting a community concert at Central Church in Lunenburg.

The evening was in support of the Canadian Fallen Fire-fi ghters Foundation, featuring the 14 Wing Band and Bridge-water Fire Department Band, with special guests including four members of the Royal Canadian Navy’s Stadacona Band and 14 Wing Pipe Major Sergeant Andrew Bruce.

Powerful renditions of “Gandalf,” from De Meij’s “Lord of the Rings Sympho-ny;” as well as “Spirit of the Sequoia,” by Philip Sparke, were highlights in the 14 Wing Band’s portion of the concert.

The concert raised $750 in a freewill offering made by concert goers which will be donated to the Canadian Fallen Fire Fighters Foundation.

Michael de Adder knows people want to talk about being Canadian, but what does that mean? He’s put a few “defi ni-tions” together in his latest book of editorial cartoons, “You Might be from Canada if….”

From a food map detailing cod tongues, donairs and bea-vertails to iconic hockey and

Art attempts to define Canadian tieswinter moments, Canadians do share many of the same ex-periences, de Adder says. And if they don’t, as in his panel on “You Might be Canadian if…” that depicts an immigrant fam-ily proudly holding their new Canadian fl ag, “they see that I tried to create a patchwork or mosaic of Canada.

“I spent about nine months doing the work, and I hope people get out of it what I’ve

learned and remembered and put out there,” the Nova Scotian artists says.

“I always observe in my job, and there are always a lot of ideas percolating. This book, I opened my eyes a lot wider to see what people were doing.”

Being obsessed with the Weather Channel or complain-ing about too much snow or too much heat, being able to name all “The Beachcombers” and Michael de Adder answers

the question “You Might be from Canada if…”

Submitted

next to none of the “fathers” of Canadian confederation seems typical of Canadians. But the book also spends several pan-els highlighting the successes – and tragedies – of our military heritage.

“The ‘Highway of Heroes’ during Afghanistan – that was very Canadian, a very grass-roots movement,” says de Adder. “I get teary-eyed every time I see the pictures of the fi re truck on the overpass with all the guys on top. And those guys are fi refi ghters who also do a hard job – they have the same calling as our military service men and women.”

De Adder spends two fac-ing pages depicting Canadian losses at Dieppe, but also the successes of Normandy.

“What’s more Canadian than the people who wear our military uniform? I had family members who served – there are three relatives named on the Vimy Ridge Memorial, and I’ve been there to see them – an emotional moment. I’ve been a Mess member in Halifax and listened to my father-in-law and his friends’ stories. In the book, I wanted to hit upon the military, and the veterans – es-pecially from the Second World

War. I wanted to honour them before they’re gone.”

While de Adder is an editorial

cartoonist and everything is open for commentary, he feels there is a distinction between military members’ actions and the situations government places them in he can make in his work.

“There are not many places our service people want to go, but they want to serve. Our military is composed of people who live down the street, the same as us – getting a coffee or driving the kids to soccer. In Halifax especially, their pres-ence is underlined, and it’s just normal. They’re everyday folks, and that’s evident to them – sometimes not so much to us.”

Leaf fans It was the Bruins against the Leafs (or leaves) in the Old Trem-ont Cemetery October 28; well, at least it was “Team Grampy” helping with the work. Dan Muise and grandsons Ben and Matthew Wade were among those helping with leaf raking in the Old Trem-ont Cemetery. The many hands did a fine job - and volunteers even had fun doing it! It has been four years since Tremont community members took on the care of the cemeteries from the former Baptist church, and the sites reflect this renewed effort. One more community work day is scheduled in the New Tremont Cemetery (754 Tremont Moun-tain Road) November 18, starting at 9 a.m. Everyone is welcome to come lend a hand. For more info, call 902 765-2642. P. Muise

The Free Spirit Therapeutic Riding Association (FSTRA) was recently selected as a top-10 fi nalist for a grant through the iA Financial Group across Canada. FSTRA was the only project selected in Atlantic Canada.

The organization who re-ceives the most votes before November 30 will win $125,000 towards their proposed project. If FSTRA is selected, the money will build an indoor riding arena.

The Free Spirit Therapeutic Riding Association provides therapeutic riding lessons to

Vote ‘Freedom to Grow’ for FSTRA programs

individuals of all ages (3+) that present with a wide range of ex-ceptionalties and mental health concerns. Over the course of the past fi ve years, FSTRA has grown by 888 per cent! In order for this growth to continue, an indoor riding arena is neces-sary. This addition will increase sustainability of the charity, eliminate wait lists and will allow FSTRA to expand and de-velop new programming, such as a hippotherapy program.

Children’s Christmas Parade

S r No

r 8h :30

A group of 10 dedicated and compassionate Grade 12 stu-dents from West Kings District High School are heading to the Dominican Republic in March 2018 to build a home for a family in need, and build rela-tionships with the community near Sosua, DR. This area was hit especially hard during the most recent hurricane season.

The group fi rst met in May, and has been busy fundrais-ing ever since. You may have seen them around with their turquoise T-shirts at several barbecues, bagging grocer-ies, helping to serve and cook dinners, holding yard sales, helping with the Greenwood air show, hosting a dinner at the Aylesford Lions’ hall and collecting bottles.

The youth are having anoth-er fundraiser at Christ Church Hall in Berwick November, serving chilli and cupcakes just before the Berwick Santa Claus parade, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. All events have depended upon freewill of-ferings, and members are

touched by people’s generos-ity to date.

The group is working with Servant’s Heart Ministries, a registered Canadian charity with three main functions: to build and repair houses for those in extreme need, render medical assistance through clinics and provide educational opportunities for children who would not otherwise be able to attend a public school. The West Kings-based Dream Team 2018 is hoping to raise over $20,000 to cover the cost of building their house and team fees. If you would like to donate, a charitable receipt will be sent to you by Servant’s Hears Ministries at the end of the year. Please email [email protected] or call Penny Clarke (902-538-0244) or Tracy Colborne Jackman (902-804-0205) for information. The group ac-cepts e-transfers as well.

A great big thank you to all the businesses and com-munity members who have supported the project so far.

Building a dream, building a home

Ten West Kings students have been working through-out the year to raise funds for their service trip to the Dominican Republic in March, where they will build a home for a family in need. Submitted
