Three Cold Lake-based squadrons held ceremonies to invest new Honorary Colonels last week.

Local engineer, philanthropist and Imam Ajaz Quraishi is the new Honorary Colonel of 4 Construction Engineering Squadron. At his investiture, he said the appointment is “a great honour indeed.”

He said that while he can offer the benefit of his experience to 4 CES, he also expects to learn a great deal from his relationship with the unit.

Glen Suitor, a former pro football player and now a broadcaster with TSN, became Honorary Colonel of 417 Combat Support Squadron on Wednesday. He paid tribute to the squadron, “my new teammates,” by telling them that the coolness of a football career and the toughness of the

players are no comparison to the “cool factor” of an RCAF career and the resilience of the men and women of 417 Squadron.

“I’m coming back to do the fitness test with you,” he said,

“after I’ve had a couple of months to train.”

419 Tactical Fighter (Training) Squadron thanked HCol Ron Guidinger for his service over the past three years, and welcomed Dr Stephane Guevremont as their new Honorary Colonel.

HCol Guevremont began his working life as an aircraft mechanic, but he has a passion for recognizing veterans by teaching military history. He said that 419 Squadron’s devotion to its own history is an important part of its culture, and he intends to share his passion with squadron members.

“If you think history is boring,” he said, “I will prove you wrong.”

From the Editor’s Desk

JEff GAyE

I went for a joyride last Wednesday.

I hopped on the Cold Lake Transit bus at the Col JJ Parr Sports Centre at 6:18 am (right on schedule), and did the complete circuit of the South and North loops. I was dropped off a block from the Courier’s office a couple hours later (right on schedule).

It was fun.From the day when

three small communities amalgamated to form what is now Cold Lake, and then had the temerity to declare themselves a city, there has always been a little something missing. We have the population and the economy of a city, but we haven’t entirely overcome the geography or the psychology of the small towns.

The new bus system is a huge step in our maturity as a city, connecting our neighbourhoods with a tangible service and a symbolic link.

Council’s decision not to charge fares, at least at first, is brilliant. Public transit is a civic service that will never pay for itself, and passenger fares contribute little to offset the cost, even in larger centres. The important thing is to build ridership and get value, rather than revenue, from the service.

The system has its imperfections, but with only two buses running at a time, compromises are inevitable. While a bus ride won’t cost you a dime, it will cost you some time. Mayor Craig Copeland says riders might want to bring a book or maybe get some work done during their commute. (I recommend reading The Courier.) But if you don’t want to start your car, he says, a little patience is a small price to pay for an otherwise free ride.

The buses will enhance the liveability of Cold Lake. Yes, most people can drive. Most people have access to a vehicle. But this has always been a difficult place for young people, seniors or one-car families to get around. With a good transit system, Cold Lake goes beyond being a great place for “most people,” and takes a big step closer to being a great place for everybody.

Kayley Boddy is The Courier’s Carrier of the Month for August. Kayley delivers The Courier to our readers in the Athabasca

« Bienvenue à Cold Lake » - Commandant de l’Escadre

“Welcome to Cold Lake”: Wing CommanderTHE COuRIER

Cold Lake has a lot to offer military members and their families, and Wing Commander Col Eric Kenny says the Base Welcome event is a great

way to find out about it.“I have heard from

some families that they were not aware of all the services available at CFB Cold Lake,” Col Kenny said. “The intent of the Base Welcome is to advise

our newest members and their spouses on what we do at the Base, and then provide them detailed information on the services available to support them. It will

also be a great opportunity to answer any questions.”

Members will attend briefings September 10, and spouses are invited to attend sessions at the Wing Theatre from

noon to 2:45 pm on September 11. There will also be a barbecue that evening.

Look for complete information in next week’s Courier.

“The goal is to

properly welcome all our newest arrivals and showcase the wonderful community they are joining. I am looking forward to meeting everyone,” Col Kenny said.

THE COuRIER

Cold Lake a une foule de choses à offrir aux militaires et aux membres de leurs familles, et selon le Col Eric Kenny, commandant de l’Escadre, l’activité d’accueil à la Base est l’occasion idéale de les découvrir.

« Certains membres de familles de militaires m’ont avoué ne pas connaître tous les services offerts à la BFC Cold Lake, a expliqué le Col Kenny. Le but de l’activité d’accueil à la Base est de faire savoir à nos nouveaux militaires et à leurs conjoints et conjointes

ce que nous faisons ici, et de leur donner des renseignements détaillés sur les services que nous offrons pour les appuyer. C’est également une occasion en or pour répondre à leurs questions. »

Une séance d’information sera donnée aux militaires

le 10 septembre, et les conjoints et conjointes sont invités à assister à des séances au Théâtre de l’Escadre de midi à 14h45 le 11 septembre. Un barbecue aura également lieu ce soir-là.

Pour en savoir plus, consultez l’édition de la semaine prochaine du

journal The Courier. « Notre but

est d’accueillir convenablement les nouveaux venus et de leur faire découvrir l’incroyable communauté à laquelle ils se joignent. Je suis très impatient de rencontrer tout le monde », a affirmé le Col Kenny.

Fall is just around the corner with kids bustling back to school, fall colours begin to show on the trees, and pumpkin spice gets put

back on menus. It’s time to shake off the dust on your fall coats and enjoy the brisk mornings and warm afternoons.

This August has been both the hottest and coldest in the last five years. Temperatures peaked at 32.0ºC on the

18th, and were coldest on the 23rd with 1.2ºC. This month has also been the driest with 33.2mm of rain, which is below the average of 67.8 over the last five years. Hopefully we see more precipitation as September comes.

September is usually known for starting out nice and warm then blasting us with a chilling reminder that winter is just around the corner. Last year brought a trace of snow and below-zero temperatures in the first two weeks. We can expect below-zero temperatures in the mornings, up to low twenties during the afternoons just to cool off again in the evenings.

Average rainfall has been 38.4mm and snowfall 1.7cm, so we should expect some rainy days and possible snow throughout the month. Around the fall equinox

have been the warmest days of the month over the past years with the exception of 2013. That year the first week was the warmest before cooling off.

Kind of like saying goodbye summer, hello winter as many Albertans can agree that our fall season is very short and sweet. The warmest September day recorded was in 1967 hitting 32.8°C and coldest day in 1970 dropping to -9.4°C.

So will the end of our summer and beginning of fall be just as nice as it has been for the past few years? Hopefully it will!

San Andreas is a Race Against Time

JEff GAyE

The plot synopsis for San Andreas on IMDb.com reads, “In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey with his ex-wife across the state in order to rescue his daughter.”

It’s a race against time! Who will survive? It’s pretty gripping stuff (although for 417

Squadron it might sound like a typical Tuesday).

This is no ordinary massive earthquake – this is a Hollywood massive earthquake. It’s “the big one,” a 9.1-scale ripper that tears California from end to end. The special effects are the big star of the show, though the actors also do a great job with the disaster-flick material.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Carla Gugino play the leads while Paul Giamatti and Kylie Minogue are among the other notable cast members.

San Andreas, rated PG-13, is presented at the 4 Wing Theatre at 7:00 pm Wednesday, September 2. Admission is free for Defence Team members, a small fee will be charged to the general public.

City Reduces Gas Fee

La Ville compte réduire la redevance sur le gaz naturel

JEff GAyE

Cold Lake City Council has mixed news for RHU residents.

The good news is that the city has not been collecting a 13 per cent surcharge, known as a franchise fee, from natural gas customers at 4 Wing. For years, base residents have been exempt from the charge.

The bad news is that, in renewing its franchise contract with Atco Gas, Council has decided to charge RHU occupants the same

fee as everyone else in the city.

But more good news is that Council has proposed a bylaw that would lower the fee to eight per cent for the 2016 budget year. That bylaw will be considered by council at a future meeting.

If passed the eight per cent fee will apply to all gas customers, including those at 4 Wing.

Kevin Nagoya, the city’s chief administrative officer, told council it’s not clear why 4 Wing

was exempt from the fee. “Our theory – our best hypothesis – is that it dates to the time of amalgamation [of the former Cold Lake, Grand Centre and Medley communities]” he said.

At that time, another company was delivering gas to the base. Atco Gas assumed the franchise two years later, and the franchise fee was never applied.

Extending the fee to 4 Wing customers will treat all city residents equally, Nagoya said.

JEff GAyE

Le conseil municipal de Cold Lake a deux bonnes et une mauvaise nouvelles pour les résidents des unités de logement résidentiel.

Première bonne nouvelle : la Ville n’a jamais facturé aux résidents de la 4e Escadre le supplément de 13 % (redevance de franchisage) sur le gaz naturel exigé des autres clients. Depuis des années, les résidents de la base sont exemptés de cette redevance.

La mauvaise nouvelle est qu’au moment du renouvellement de son contrat de franchise avec Atco Gas, le conseil municipal a décidé de

facturer aux occupants des unités de logement résidentiel la redevance que paient tous les autres résidents de la ville.

Autre bonne nouvelle, le conseil a proposé un règlement qui réduirait les coûts à 8% pour l’année budgétaire 2016. Ce règlement municipal sera étudié par le conseil à une réunion ultérieure.

Si le règlement est adopté, la redevance de 8 % sera facturée à tous les acheteurs de gaz naturel, y compris les résidents de la 4e Escadre.

Kevin Nagoya, directeur général de la ville, a expliqué au conseil municipal qu’il ne sait pas trop pourquoi

les résidents de la 4e Escadre ont été exemptés de la redevance, les occupants des unités de logement résidentiel payant déjà une redevance de franchisage de 4,25 % sur leur facture d’électricité. « Notre théorie, ou notre hypothèse la plus plausible, est que cette exemption date de la fusion [des anciennes collectivités de Cold Lake, Grand Centre et Medley] », a-t-il affirmé.

À l’époque, ce n’était pas la même société qui livrait le gaz naturel sur la base. Atco Gas a pris la relève deux ans plus tard, et la redevance de franchisage de la Ville n’a jamais été appliquée.

2 Wing Commander Tours 4 CESJEff GAyE

Col Luc Boucher, 2 Wing Commander and CWO John Rowley, 2 Wing CWO, were in Cold Lake last week for a visit to 4 Construction Engineering Squadron (4 CES). While here, they toured the 4 CES facilities and met with

its members, observed a training exercise, and presided over the investiture of Ajaz Quraishi as the squadron’s Honorary Colonel.

4 CES has been a unit of 2 Wing since last November.

“My primary reason for coming here was

to visit the men and women of 4 CES in their training,” Col Boucher said. “I was able to see their camp setup and watch them carry out their firefighting duties during the exercise. I just took command of 2 Wing on July 16, so it’s important for me to see what we have here and

what we do.”As the RCAF’s

air expeditionary wing, 2 Wing is able to rapidly deploy as a self-contained unit, employing air power and providing associated support across Canada or around the world. It includes units that, like 4 CES, are located

away from its Bagotville headquarters.

“We have no real issues dealing with the distance factor,” Col Boucher said. “4 CES is really well established here, and they provide great support for the base and 4 Wing. They have a reason to be here. And they have great

‘real estate’ here that they would not have in Bagotville.”

He said it was an honour during his visit to preside over the Honorary Colonel Investiture ceremony.

“It’s great to see Ajaz invested into 4 CES and the Honorary Colonels family,” he said.

Scenes from Community Registration DayTHE COuRIER

Thousands of Cold Lake community members came out to the Col JJ Parr Sports Centre on Saturday for the annual Community Registration Day.

The event is a partnership among PSP, Cold Lake Community Learning and the City of Cold Lake. Its “trade-show” format allows people to see what’s offered in Cold Lake, and to ask questions of the many clubs and agencies represented.

It also allows families to register for all of their various activities on the same day.

A New (yet old) Style of Yoga

TOVAH fEnSkE, 4 WInG fITnESS COORdInATOR

What is Yin yoga? Yin is a deep-stretching yoga style. Postures are held for extended periods of time, usually two to four minutes. The extended holding of asanas (the word for postures or movements in yoga) allows tension deep in the muscles and connective tissue and fascia to release.

Fascia are like a sheath or sleeve that wraps around all the muscles and cells in our body – imagine a sausage casing holding everything together. If you squeeze one end of the sausage, things are stretched and sausage meat moves around and takes a different shape. So when we stretch or release tension in our fascia we can change or release tension throughout the body – not just the area that the stretch targets. This is why yin yoga is such an amazing practice.

The yin practice is essentially the opposite of vinyasa flow yoga, which until now was the only style offered to our defence team personnel. The yin practice is primarily floor-based with a focus on hip opening, which is essential for reducing low back stress and key to proper movement. Postures are held longer, but we use props such as blocks and cushions to make the poses more

relaxed.After you hold four

to six poses for several minutes each, at the end of the hour your body definitely feels relaxed, but this practice can be challenging for both body and mind. Holding asanas for an extended time, even while using props, can build a lot of heat and be very intense. The yin practice can also be mentally challenging. If you have a hard time relaxing, sitting still, shutting down and turning your brain off, holding poses in silence for several minutes can feel like an hour. If you have “monkey mind” this could be just what your body and your mind need to de-stress, relax and breathe.

Yin is a therapeutic practice which is great for anyone with tightness and looking to increase flexibility. Yin yoga, due to its deep methodical stretching techniques, can bring improvements in flexibility and mobility more quickly than other styles of yoga, making it a great addition to any yoga or stretching program.

Check out our yin yoga classes offered as part of our MXP Program the second and fourth Friday of each month from noon to 12:45. Classes are free and open to all military, defence team or civilian Col JJ Parr Sports Centre membership holders, or give me a call at 780-840-8000, local 8194 to book your unit in for a session.

A Real Pain in the NeckTAMMy BuCHAnAn, HEALTH PROMOTIOn SPECIALIST

Remember when carpal tunnel syndrome was a big problem due to overuse and repetitive movements? Guess what's next? With the huge increase in popularity of the smartphones, iPads and gaming, the issue being seen by doctors and physiotherapists is something called "text neck"! The slumping forward to send or read a message has caused an increase in neck pain, shoulder and arm

pain, pinched nerves, herniated discs, breathing problems, chronic headaches and a flattening of the natural curvature of the neck!

Our heads weigh approximately 10 to 12 pounds, and as we bend forward the pressure on our neck increases greatly. If your neck is bent at 30 degrees while gaming or reading a text the force recorded is forty pounds on your neck. Dr. Hayden Thomas, a chiropractor in New Zealand, says he sees approximately twenty people a week for text neck!

It’s better to use your electronic devices by looking down with your eyes and not bending your neck. The Kaiser Family Foundation noted that children averaged over seven hours a day of entertainment media through their phone, gaming, television, iPads and computers. That's a lot of time for potential spine misalignment. A text neck app has been developed by Dr. Dean Fishman for android phones, and he is working on other smart phone versions. The app detects when your phone is at a

suitable angle to read messages. When it is at an unacceptable angle the green light turns to red on your phone screen. The light can be turned to a vibration or a beep.

Besides changing the angle of your device, take short breaks from your gaming or texting every twenty minutes. Roll your shoulders and neck, get up and walk around, take deep breaths, and think of aligning your body into better posture. Exercises for your neck, back and chest give your body a break from the slumped position. Try stretching

the tight muscles, such as your chest muscles, and strengthening the weaker ones, such as your upper back muscles.

Dr. Fishman, a Chiropractic Physician, suggested the largest group of texters are 13 to 27 years of age, and he thinks over the next decade these individuals will be developing more and more text neck problems. To avoid this condition consider changing your device and neck angle when texting and gaming, and take frequent breaks. If you would like more

information about Injury Prevention please contact your Health Promotion Staff at 780-840-8000 extension 6958.

QWe have a mobile home with a water supply line under the floor. There’s a cord and insulation

wrapped around it. Is this the heat tape?

AMore than likely it is the heat tape. This will keep the plumbing service line from freezing. Some are

thermostatically controlled while others are simply on or off via a switch or breaker. By October your heat tapes should be checked for operation and condition. Some or all the insulation will need to be removed to do this. After ensuring they function, replace all insulation as far into the under belly as possible so that no piping is exposed to the cold.

A: With loose skin that is mostly contained to below the belly button, called a ‘Pannus’ (meaning

Apron), I do a Panniculectomy. This is covered by Alberta Health Care (AHC). It involves a light anesthetic in the operating room, and a simple removal of the loose skin. You are left with a Happy Smile! Healing time is minimal, because the muscles are not cut.

Q: AFTER 3 BABIES, I AM LEFT WITH A LOT OF STRETCH MARKS AND LOOSE SKIN.

BESIDES A ‘TUMMY TUCK’ WHAT CAN I DO?

Following which, I then recommend Lipodissolve and/or Fractional non-ablative laser treatment to help minimize the stretch marks, and/or SlimShapes to tighten the skin. (These additional treatments are not covered by AHC).

Q My interest rate is way too high.

Is there a way to get a lower rate on my mortgage?

ASometimes it is very advantageous to take

a look into breaking out of your mortgage early. This is because the difference in interest you are paying now and the new interest rate may save you more then the cost of breaking your mortgage. Give us a call and we can see if this option would work for you!

PETS

QDo tarantulas make good pets?

ALittle Miss Muffet was in good hands. A spider with eight arms sat down beside her, but Miss Muffet ran away before finding

out just how good of a pet a spider can be. Today many people are adopting tarantulas as pets. Often confused with the dreaded Black Widow Spider and its fatal bite, the tarantula has an undeserved reputation. Actually, tarantulas are shy, peaceful species. What makes them good pets for busy people is their maintenance-free nature. They are quiet; require feeding only once a week, and a cleaning of their living environment (generally a covered aquarium or terrarium) every other week. If you entertain frequently, then you’ll find your tarantula is the perfect icebreaker. Your friends will want to learn everything they can about your eight-legged houseguest. You can start off by telling them tarantulas don’t spin webs.

4 Wing Splash Park Opens

Gold for 4 Wing Golfers

Submitted

The Prairie Region golf team is the 2015 CAf national Champion.

Jeff Gaye

These youngsters got a sneak preview of the 4 Wing Splash Park on Saturday. The Grand Opening is on hold until some custom fixtures arrive, but the park opened in time to catch some of the last hot weather of the summer. The splash park will remain open while the weather holds out, and the Grand Opening is slated for September.

JEff GAyE

Capt Manivone Morrison of W Admin and WO Dave Boland of 410 Squadron were members of the Prairie Region team that won the CAF national golf championship in Shilo last week. The Prairie team finished the three-round tournament with an aggregate score of 1,204 for a 23-stroke

margin of victory over second-place Atlantic Region.

“The National Golf Championships are always a great test of your golfing skills,” WO Boland said. “To play with and against the best from the rest of the CAF is always a challenge and will usually expose any weaknesses in your game, which then becomes an incentive to practice and

improve on those areas.”WO Boland had

an opportunity to work on his game at the International Military Sports Council (CISM) golf camp in Winnipeg before the national tournament.

“I learned a lot and will continue to try and improve my game and hopefully will make it back to nationals again next year,” he said.

Keep Your FCP Up-to-Date

Tenez votre Plan de garde familiale à jour

MfRC

The military family faces challenges not found in many other homes or work environments. Units administer the Family Care Plan (FCP) to ensure a plan is in place to care for your family in the event of an emergency,

callout or planned deployment. To ensure you and your family are prepared, your FCP must be completed, up-to-date and accessible to the MFRC.

The FCP is kept on the member’s file and is designed to improve the operational effectiveness of the

member and the unit. All CAF personnel must complete the FCP form DAOD 5044-1A. Families should work together to create their FCP and update it regularly.

As part of the FCP, the CAF is able to offer additional child care support in time

of emergency, absence, illness or injury. Through Emergency Child Care services, your MFRC can help you meet unexpected child care needs that are a direct result of your duty requirements. The FCP must be updated regularly and be accessible to the local

MFRC in order to facilitate this care.

The MFRC may also assist your family in finding appropriate caregivers, and in the creation of your ECP. To take advantage of these services, your family should connect with the MFRC and file your ECP with them

in advance of an emergency. Your FCP must contain up-to-date and reliable emergency contacts.

To create or update your FCP, please contact your unit. For more information on the FCP and Emergency Child Care, please call or visit your local MFRC.

AngerfATHER MARIAn kORzEnIOWSkI

Most of us have read articles on anger, listened to lectures on coping with it and perhaps even discussed with friends about the impact anger has on their lives. Quite frankly, anger remains an Achilles’ heel for some of us.

Each of us has a system of beliefs about anger as an emotion. Most likely these beliefs were formed in childhood. As adults, we may choose to keep our belief systems about anger intact or we can choose to change them. When a person’s belief system holds anger as a negative emotion, there

will always be a tendency to deny anger and the energy created by anger will be stored. People for whom anger is a negative emotion will try to hide or store those feelings not only from others, but especially from themselves. Anger that is continually stored is always a destructive option. Stored anger will

have internal reactions and will affect the person physiologically as well as psychologically.

If a person holds a system of beliefs that sees anger is a positive emotion, then the energy of anger will be expressed in some way. Not all expressions of anger, however, are life-giving. Anger can be expressed destructively

as well as constructively. Hostility is one of the most destructive ways of expressing anger. While anger is an emotion, hostility is an act, a behaviour that treats another with ill will. And when we experience hostility from another, we become hostile in return.

Feeling angry does not mean that I will

automatically act on that feeling without any control. We can choose to express the energy produced by anger constructively and creatively. We can move ourselves into a calm state, allow ourselves to think more clearly, we can talk about it and finally we can decide to forgive.

CRfM

Les familles des militaires doivent relever des défis difficiles à imaginer dans la plupart des autres foyers ou milieux de travail. Les unités administrent le Plan de garde familial (PGF) pour voir à ce qu’il existe un plan pour la garde de votre famille en cas d’urgence, de rappel ou

de déploiement prévu. Si vous voulez avoir la certitude que votre famille et vous êtes prêts, vous devez remplir et tenir à jour votre PGF, et vous assurez que le Centre de ressources pour les familles des militaires (CRFM) y a accès.

Le PGF est conservé au dossier du militaire; il est conçu de manière à améliorer l’efficacité

opérationnelle du militaire et de son unité. Chaque membre des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) doit remplir le formulaire DOAD 5044-1A, Plan de garde familiale. Les membres de la famille doivent collaborer à l’élaboration du PGF et mettre celui-ci à jour régulièrement.

Dans le cadre du PGF, les FAC peuvent

offrir un soutien supplémentaire pour la garde d’enfants en cas d’urgence, d’absence, de maladie ou de blessure. Par l’entremise des Services de garde d’urgence, votre CRFM peut vous aider à répondre à vos besoins imprévus de garde d’enfants directement liés à vos fonctions. Le PGF doit être mis à jour

régulièrement, et le CRFM local doit pouvoir y avoir accès si vous voulez qu’il facilite les services de garde.

Le CRFM peut également aider votre famille à trouver des gardiens appropriés et à élaborer votre PGF. Pour obtenir ces services, communiquez avec le CRFM et remettez-lui votre PGF avant qu’une urgence se produise.

Votre PGF doit contenir les coordonnées à jour de personnes fiables à contacter en cas d’urgence.

Pour élaborer ou mettre à jour votre PGF, communiquez avec votre unité. Pour en savoir plus sur le PGF et les Services de garde d’urgence, communiquez avec votre CRFM local ou passez nous voir.
