NR 09.05 - August 7, 2009YELLOWKNIFE, N.T. - From August 6 to 28,
2009, the Government of Canada will conduct asovereignty operation, the Canadian Forces’ Op-eration NANOOK 09, in the eastern Arctic. Thisoperation will see the CF demonstrate a visiblepresence with land, sea and air forces operatingin the Baffin Island region. It will include sover-eignty patrols, a military exercise, and a whole-of-government exercise designed to demonstrateCanada’s ability to operate in the North.
“The presence in our North of the CanadianForces and other departments shows our Gov-ernment’s commitment to protecting and demon-
strating control over the air, land and sea withinour jurisdiction, and responding to emergenciesin support of the territorial government,” said theHonourable Peter MacKay, Minister of NationalDefence and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway.
This year’s operation will include an anti-sub-marine warfare exercise with Her Majesty’s Cana-dian Ships (HMCS) Toronto and Glace Bay, andHMCS Corner Brook, one of Canada’s four Victo-ria-class submarines. Land forces, comprised ofCanadian Rangers and the Arctic Reserve Com-pany Group from Ontario, will also deploy for-ward with the Navy and in Canadian Coast GuardShip Pierre Radisson. The Air Force will be flying
the CP-140 Aurora, CH-124 Sea King, CC-138 TwinOtter, CF-18 Hornet, CC-130 Hercules aircraft, whileTransport Canada will be flying the Dash-7throughout the exercise. Following the militaryexercise, government agencies will turn their at-tention to supporting Nunavut’s Emergency Man-agement Organization in their own exercise to testemergency preparedness in response to a criticalinfrastructure failure.
“Operation NANOOK 09 presents an ideal op-portunity to validate and improve upon our col-lective capabilities to operate effectively in ourNorth,” said General Walt Natynczyk, Chief ofthe Defence Staff.

“This is our home now,”said Nijazi about Canada,while acknowledging thatKosovo was also still verynear and dear to his heart. “I’mvery lucky to have twohomes.” After speaking forabout 10 minutes to the as-sembled crowd, he produceda stone map of Kosovo, madeof minerals unearthed from theTrepca Mines of his home-land. “Just like my words aredeep from my heart, this isdeep from Kosovo.”
Col Seymour accepted thegift on behalf of the Wing andtalked about the work doneby 14 Wing Greenwood per-sonnel and the Canadian

Mr. Nijazi Muji and his family visited 14 Wing Green-wood to make a presentation in thanks and recogni-tion of the hospitality shown to Kosovo refugees whoarrived in Greenwood 10 years earlier. Mr Nijazi Mujihis wife Meliha, and his oldest child Dori(10) fledKosovo arriving in Canada 10 years ago. They havesettled in Halifax, Nova Scotia and had three morechildren, Vesa(8), Deilli(5) and Mali(2).

It was during this extendedperiod of intense conflict that“ethnic cleansing” drove mil-lions from the disputed Ser-bian province of Kosovo intoneighbouring Macedonia tothe south. Canada played animportant role in easing theburden of those escaping theconflict; close to half of the5,000 ethnic-Albanian refu-gees accepted during thisstrife landed at CFB Green-wood (with the other half land-ing at CFB Borden,) beforebeing housed temporarily byCanadian Forces basesacross Ontario and theMaritimes.
Now, ten years after thesuccess of Op PARASOL,Nijazi wanted to return toGreenwood from his home inHalifax to say “thank you.”With his wife and now fouryoung children beside him,Nijazi spoke in front of thecurrent 14 Wing Commander,Colonel Bill Seymour, theWing Commander during OpPARASOL, Colonel (ret’d)Brian Handley, and an audi-ence of about 35, comprisedmostly of military personnelwho were stationed at Green-wood at the time of the crisis
Forces overseas. “We knowthat our work, internationally,is appreciated,” he said, be-fore inviting Col Handley tospeak.
The former Wing Com-mander recalled the eventsthat unfolded a decade agoand reminded everyone in-volved how successful theoperation was, and how muchwork was involved to make itrun smoothly. “Ten yearsgoes by very quickly… Thoseof you here can remember itvery well.”
The small ceremony endedwith a group photo of all thosewho assisted in the refugeerelief efforts being photo-graphed with the Muji family,but not before the family was
presented with a watercolourprint of various scenes fromOp PARASOL. The original,painted by Anita Alpay to re-member the events in ques-tion, hangs in the GreenwoodMilitary Aviation Museumand is based on photographsfrom the time period.
Looking back, it’s clear thatCanada and the CanadianForces, including 14 WingGreenwood personnel and lo-cal volunteers, made an enor-mous impact on the lives ofpeople who lost much to theethnic violence plaguing theregion. Two thirds of the ap-proximately 5,000 asylum-seekers now call Canada theirhome, and Nijazi Muji is proudto be one of them.

Muji stepped out of a planeand onto Canadian soil and,
with his wife and infant daugh-ter , finally discovered thepeace and security that wassorely lacking in the Balkans.

Submitted by: Pamela GarrisonSeveral dancers from Mary’s Islanders Dance Troupe are
preparing for a dance experience of a lifetime. These youngdancers have been invited to participate in the Canada - CubaSports and Cultural Festival in Cuba from March 8th to 15th , 2010.
This program is specifically designed to enable children toexperience a comprehensive overview of Cuban culture andhistory from Columbus to Castro, with a focus on the study ofthe Afro - Cuban contribution to dance and music in Cuba. Thedance troupe will meet and perform with Cuban students andteachers. Additional performances will take place at public venuesarranged by the Cuban Ministry of Culture. While there, theywill have the opportunity to explore the climates and topographyof tropical rain forests, mountain terrain, cave systems and willobserve the life ways of rural communities in the Cubancountryside.
The dance troupe is especially looking forward to the time thatthey will spend with the Comparsa. Comparsa are the musical/dance group that compete in the processions during Havana’sCarnival. Members of the Comparsa will endeavour to share LatinPercussion and Afro - Cuban song with the troupe and will takethem to visit the famous Ja Café to see performances by topCuban musicians. This will be followed by a Latin danceworkshop.
Although preparing for their trip is taking up much of their
time, they haven’t slowed down with their summer performances.The highlights of which have been their performances for the
Local Dancers Bound for CubaHeart and Stroke Foundation, Cultural Dance Extravaganza atthe Bella Rose Arts Centre and Halifax’s, Dancing On The Docks.
This will indeed be an exceptional educational experience forthis talented entourage who are already proud ambassadors forNova Scotia and Canada after their performances at theInternational NATO Bazaar in Italy 2006, and in Disney World in2003 and 2008.
Congratulations are indeed in order for their Artistic Directorand Instructor, Mary Dunlop and her husband Larry who doesall the logistics for the troupe and to these talented youngperformers: Jacob Newcomb, Haila Pye, Jessica King, AlitaMacDonnell, Rosalie Dowling, Shelby Lutz, Idalee Steadman,Micayla Webster, Carly Floris and Kiana MacDonnell.

Do you have nerves of steel? Do you have the reflexes of
tiger? Then test your skills at the Sony Store Top Gun VideoGame Competition. Two HDTV’s standing back to back asyou face off against your opponent in a jet fighter video gamefor dominance of the skies. And no game pads here boys andgirls, joystick, throttle and skill!!

Submitted by: Kim Dixon, GMFRC Coordinator of Childrenand Youth Services at 765-1494 local 1812
The GMFRC offers Emergency Childcare Services that willassist families during an emergency childcare situation. Ourgoal is to provide CF families with the tools & resources youneed to prepare for the challenges & emergencies this unique
lifestyle may bring. In order to support the CF member’s abilityto be available for operational duty, the family’s needs mustbe acknowledged & identified so we can prepare ourselvesfor emergency situations. For those CF families with children,Emergency Childcare Services will offer you the resourcesyou need for emergency preparedness.
This childcare plan is NOT the same as the “family careplan” form you are required to have on file with your unit. OurChildcare Plan requires more information- is used as a tool inpreparing for the family’s emergency childcare arrangements-and is kept on file with the GMFRC. We maintain a list ofscreened, qualified emergency childcare providers who willprovide childcare to our military families in the event thatyour childcare arrangements are not working. Specifically, wewill provide care for the following situations:• When the CF member is employed/deployed away from
home and the spouse/caregiver is unavailable due to ill-ness or any other family emergency
• When the CF member is required to report for duty on shortnotice and the spouse/usual caregiver is unavailable
• When a single parent or both parents are CF members andthey are unable to access the regular childcare provider ina deployment or emergency situation
• When there is illness of a child that would prevent a parentfrom accessing regular childcare arrangements for care at atime when the CF member’s presence at work is critical tothe military operation
• When there is a need for respite childcare due to the totalfamily situation- including the CF member’s work commitments
• When there are other circumstances not covered aboveand childcare is believed to be the solution to the problem(in these cases, approval must be given by the GMFRCChild Youth & Parenting Services Coordinator in consulta-tion with DMFS)

Angela Dempsey receive an offer from the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada’s fora wish and surprised everyone with what she wanted. Her wish was for a saltwaterswimming pool.
When asked why she wanted a saltwater swimming pool, “she replied that she wantedsomething that the whole family could enjoy, something she could share with her friendsand it would be around for a long time to enjoy.
Angela was diagnosed with leukemia on May 19, 2008 and she has completed her firstyear of 2½ years of chemo treatments at the IWK in Halifax and the Valley RegionalHospital in Kentville. She will be going to Middleton Regional High School in September.
It was pointed out that saltwater pools are more environmentally friendly and use fewerchemicals, another bonus for Angela with all the treatments she has to go through.
The big smile on Angela’s face as the pool was going in was priceless. “It’s beenfunctional for about a week now and we are all very excited about it, especially with thishot weather we’ve been experiencing since mid August.
The Dempsey family includes parents Mike and Sue and daughters Jennifer, Sharonand Angela. Mike works at CE, hangar 5 as the UGSO & Trg O.
The Dempsey family would like to thank The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canadaand Holland Home Leisure for installing the pool, they did an excellent job and were veryprofessional with dealing with the Dempsey family. They would also like to thank all thepeople who donated towards Angela’s wish. We are very impressed and enjoy seeingAngela having a blast using the pool with family and friends.
Thank you for making our daughter’s wish come true.

From behind the lens, Cpl Jasper Schwartz roams poolside at the World MilitarySwimming and Lifesaving Championships looking for the perfect photo opportunity.
“A good photo is one that is technically sound, and that has interesting action, orcolour, or composition,” he says. “Any photo that makes me stop and say Wow! orHow Did They Do That?”
Cpl Schwartz is hoping that one of the shots he has taken at this event will be agood submission for the annual DND Photography Contest. This will be his secondyear participating in the contest that is now digitally based, making it easier foreveryone to join in. He says it gives him a great reason to go out and take photosand encourages both professionals and amateurs to enter.
The DND photo contest is open to current DND/CF personnel and their families,retired personnel, and non-public fund employees. Divided into professional andamateur categories, photos can be submitted in eight categories: military life, familylife, sport, environment, animals, portrait, special effects and open.
More than $20,000 in prizes will be awarded among both professional andamateur photographer of the year, best in show and the Deputy Minister ’s award.The amateur and professional photographers of the year will be invited, with travelexpenses paid, to the awards luncheon at NDHQ this November.
For additional rules and information, visit: www.cfpsa.com/dndphotocontest Thedeadline for entry is October 1, until then Cpl Schwartz will be snapping away.
“I love the opportunity to try to turn something like a military exercises into a workof art,” he says. “The colours, the action, it’s all looking to be found, I enjoy thechallenge of trying to get it on film”
DND Photography ContestAppareil-photo à la main, le Cpl Jasper Schwartz se promène sur le bord de la piscine au
Championnat du monde militaire de natation et de sauvetage à la recherche de la photo parfaite.« Une bonne photo est une photo qui est impeccable sur le plan technique et qui comporte une
action, une couleur ou une composition intéressante. N’importe quelle photo qui me fait dire ‘Wow!’ou ‘Comment ont-ils fait ça?’ », affirme-t-il.
Le Cpl Schwartz espère que l’une des photos qu’il a prises pendant le championnat sera unebonne soumission pour le concours annuel de photographie du MND, auquel il participe pour ladeuxième fois. Les photos doivent maintenant être présentées en format numérique, ce qui rendle concours plus accessible. Il dit que c’est une excellente raison pour lui d’aller prendre desphotos et que ça encourage tant les professionnels que les amateurs à s’inscrire au concours.
Le personnel du MDN et des FC et les membres de leurs familles, le personnel retraité et lesemployés des Fonds non publics (FNP) peuvent participer au concours de photographie duMDN. Il y a deux classifications, soit professionnel et amateur, et les photos peuvent être soumisesdans l’une des huit catégories suivantes : vie militaire, vie de famille, sports, environnement,animaux, portrait, effets spéciaux et sujet libre.
Le photographe de l’année et l’auteur de la meilleure photo dans les classifications professionnelleet amateur ainsi que le récipiendaire du Prix du sous-ministre de la Défense nationale separtageront plus de 20 000 $ en prix.
Pour de plus amples renseignements et règlements, veuillez consulter le site www.aspfc.com/dndphotocontest. La date d’échéance pour les inscriptions est le 1er octobre. D’ici là, le CplSchwartz continuera de prendre des photos.
« J’adore pouvoir essayer de créer une œuvre d’art à partir de quelque chose comme unexercice militaire », dit-il. « Les couleurs, l’action, il suffit de les trouver. J’aime relever le défi de lestransposer en photo. »

By Lt Matt ZalotThe library at 14 Wing
Greenwood, like all of the 14Wing’s quality-of-life initiatives,remain somewhat of a secret tomany people who think ofmilitary bases more as a place ofwork and less as a place ofcommunity. In fact, the 14 WingLibrary has been in existencesince 1953 and is no mere readingroom on flight safety; it currentlyboasts close to 40,000 books,reference materials and othermedia, such as movies incassette or DVD format. Basednow at the AVM Morfee Centre,the library was up until the 1970sbased out of the former fitnessand sports centre and was also
housed in the current VPInternational building beforesettling in its current location.
The library itself servesapproximately 1,300 families inthe local community, living upto the Canadian ForcesPersonnel Support Agencymotto of “serving those whoserve.” Keeping the libraryrunning are the librarian, JudyMcCool, who has been a 14Wing employee for about a year,and Liz Tappen, who hasrecently been hired on as acasual employee but has beenvolunteering with the library formore than 25 years. However,this is not a two-personoperation, as Judy is pleased to

Historic Aircraft that Playeda Significant Role in
Canadian Aviation Heritage
Beech T-34 Mentor Beech T-34 MentorThe Beech T-34 was the last
attempt by a small Canadianmanufacturer to maintain itselfin the aviation industry.Canadian Car and Foundry(CC&F) of Thunder Bay wasone of the smallermanufacturers in Canada afterthe war – its efforts to remainin the industry highlight theproblem of the period – asmall Canadian market andtoo many manufacturers.
CC&F had designed its ownaircraft in the 1930s and builtHurricanes and Helldiversunder license during theSecond World War. After thewar it built Harvards underlicense; however, this contractwas soon completed. Seekingnew licenses CC&F acquireda contract to build 34 Mentorsfor the United States Air Force
(USAF). A further contract for66 followed. In the UnitesStates Beech built 773Mentors for the Air Force andNavy, a type chosen in partbecause of its gentlehandling characteristics.
The Royal Canadian AirForce (RCAF) purchased 25Mentors as the servicerequired additional aircraft inorder to meet the needs of theNATO Air Training Plan. Theaircraft were used in a trial atNo. 4 Flying Training Schoolat Penhold, Alberta that wentfrom 19 July 1954 to 10February 1955. The Mentorwas not selected as it wasconsidered too easy to fly.During the course of the trial,
Le Beech T34 est la dernièretentative d’un constructeurcanadien pour se maintenirdans l’industrie aéronautique.Canadian Car and Foundry(CC&F), de Thunder Bay, estl’un des plus petits construc-teurs au Canada après laguerre. Les efforts qu’il dé-ploie pour demeurer dans l’in-dustrie mettent en relief le pro-blème de cette période : unmarché canadien restreintpour un trop grand nombre deconstructeurs.
La CC&F a conçu son pro-pre avion dans les années 30et elle construit desHurricane et des Helldiversous licence pendant la Se-conde Guerre mondiale. Aprèsla guerre, cette société cons-truit des Harvard sous li-cence, mais ce contrat est viteterminé. À la recherche denouvelles licences, la CC&Fobtient un contrat pour cons-truire 34 Mentor destinés
à la force aérienne des États-Unis (USAF). Un autre con-trat pour 66 appareils suit. AuxÉtats-Unis, Beech construit773 Mentor pour la USAF etla US Navy, un type choisi enpartie en raison de ses carac-téristiques facilitant le pilo-tage.
L’Aviation royale du Ca-nada (ARC) achète 25 Men-tor , puisqu’elle a besoind’autres avions pour répon-dre aux besoins du Programmed’entraînement aérien del’OTAN. Les avions serventà des essais à l’école d’en-traînement au pilotage no 4, àPenhold (Alberta), lesquelss’échelonnent du 19 juillet1954 au 10 février1955. Le Men-tor n’estp a schoisi,
car on considère qu’il est tropfacile à piloter. Au cours desessais, l’un des avions estdétruit. Les autres avions sontdonnés à la Grèce (1) et à laTurquie (23) dans le cadre del’accord d’assistance mu-tuelle de l’OTAN.
Le Beech Mentor symbo-lise l’industrie aéronautiqueau Canada dans les années50. Du fait d’un marché inté-rieur restreint et de la pré-sence d’un trop grand nom-bre de constructeurs, la CC&Fn’a pu se maintenir dans l’in-dustrie. La production globaleréduite du Mentor de la CC&Ftant pour l’ARC que pour laUSAF met en lumière la na-ture de l’industrie et montre
que même un bon aviond’entraînement ne peutpermettre à une entre-prise de demeurer sol-vable.
one aircraft was destroyed.The remaining aircraft weredonated to Greece (one) andTurkey (23) under NATO’sMutual Aid Program.
The Beech Mentor issymbolic of Canada’s aviationindustry in the 1950s. With asmall domestic market and toomany manufacturers, CC&Fcould not remain in theindustry. The small overall sizeof CC&F’s Mentorproduction for both the RCAFand the USAF highlights thenature of the industry andhow even a good trainingaircraft can be incapable ofkeeping a company solvent.

Being thetrooper you are, you’ll muddlethrough somehow. ScheduleR&R afterward.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, there’s not much you cando to staunch the flames of aninflamed situation on thehomefront.
