Aurora Makes Historic Landing in Alert... cover story cont’d.“The CP-140 landings

in both Resolute Bay and Alert are historic events, made possible by stellar work by Maj Al Harvey and his crew, as well as outstanding support from the staff at CFS Alert, 1 Cdn Air Division, CP-140 Weapons Systems Management, the Aerospace Engineering Test Establ ishment , 14 Wing Operations, Maritime Patrol & Evaluation Unit, 404 Squadron, 14 Software Eng inee r ing Squadron (SES) and from Buffalo Airways,” said Colonel William Seymour, 14 Wing Commander. “All in all, a truly outstanding team effort.”

Crews prac t iced the landing a number of times in a simulator. The recently acquired category D fl ight simulator is of the same standard as those used by commercial airlines to train

pilots. The full motion, full colour simulator was programmed with landing scenarios for both Resolute Bay and Alert thanks to 404 Squadron and 14 Wing SES.

Aside from barren white

landscapes, simulations included slippery runways conditions. Unpaved airstrips can limit a plane’s grip on the ground, which increases the danger from cross winds, so weather conditions play a

crucial role.“The right conditions

are necessary,” said Major Co leman Spence who coordinates Long Range Patrol, Force Generation at 1 Canadian Air Division. “There may be a time in the future when our Auroras will be tasked to land in a rugged location, and we need to know how to do it right.”

Like most CF members involved with this Arctic mission, Major Spence was confident that it would be successful.

“Our experts with the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment didn’t see this as a risk for the Aurora because it is currently winter in Alert which means the airstrip is frozen solid,” said Major Spence. “Landing there in the summer will be the real test because the gravel will be loose and will present more risk.”

First delivered to the Air Force in the early 1980s, Canada’s current f leet of 18 Auroras are in the process of being upgraded to extend their operational life while enhancing their sensor and avionics systems. When these improvements are complete, the Aurora is expected to have some of the most sophisticated radar, surveillance and mapping systems available.

Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), the Aurora can detect and destroy the latest generation of stealth submarines. It conducts other operations such as searching out illegal fi shing, immigration, drug traffi cking and polluting along the coastline. With its long range, the CP-140 regularly patrols with vigilance for violations to Canada’s terr i tor ial sovereignty above and below the ocean’s surface.

The CP-140 i s a l so equipped with air-droppable survival pods which can be used in search and rescue (SAR) operations. During the Red River Flood of 1997, two Auroras flew missions over fl ood-ravaged southern Manitoba providing operation assistance.

The crew of the CP-140 Aurora, A/C 106 is all smiles after arriving at Cana-dian Forces Station Alert. From left to right: Warrant Offi cer Pat Henry - Flight Engineer, Master Warrant Offi cer (MWO) Conrad Wilson - Flight Engineer, MWO Don Mainville – Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator (ASOP), Major Scott Hale – Pilot, and Captain Stephane Bouchard – Navigator.

In Greek mythology, Aurora is the Greek goddess who restored Orion’s eyesight, and also the Aurora Borealis are the “northern lights” that are prominent over northern Canada and the Arctic Ocean.

CEFCOM NR – 11.001 - March 27, 2011OTTAWA — One Canadian soldier was killed when an

improvised explosive device detonated during a dismounted partnered patrol in the Panjwa’i district of Kandahar Province at approximately 12 p.m. (noon) Kandahar time on Sunday, March 27, 2011.

Killed in action was Corporal Yannick Scherrer, from 1er

Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment, based at CFB Valcartier, Quebec serving with 1er Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group.

We are all thinking of the family and friends of our Canadian

fallen comrade during this sad time. We will not forget Cpl Scherrer’s sacrifi ce as we continue to bring security and hope to the people of Kandahar Province.

Canada in partnership with the government of Afghanistan, the Afghan National Security Forces and ISAF remain committed to improving the security situation in order to set the conditions for reconstruction and development in the region. Joint Task Force Afghanistan, continues to be fully engaged in an initiative that serves to gradually enhance security, to strengthen governance and to expand the government’s authority in key areas of Kandahar Province.

One Canadian Soldier Killed by Improvised Explosive Device

Corporal/ Caporal YannickUn militaire canadien tué par un dispositif explosif de circonstance

CEFCOM NR – 11.001 - le 27 mars 2011OTTAWA — Un soldat canadien a été tué par suite de la

détonation d’un dispositif explosif de circonstance au cours d’une patrouille à pied, conduite en partenariat dans le district de Panjwa’i vers à 12h00 (heure de Kandahar), le dimanche 27 mars 2011 dans la province de Kandahar.

A été tué au combat le Caporal Yannick Scherrer, du 1er

Bataillon, Royal 22e Régiment, basé à la BFC Valcartier (Québec) et servant au sein du 1er Bataillon du Groupement tactique du Royal 22e Régiment.

En cette période empreinte de tristesse, nos pensées accompagnent la famille et les amis de notre camarade canadien tombé au champ d’honneur. Nous n’oublierons pas le sacrifi ce du Cpl Scherrer pendant que nous continuons d’apporter la sécurité et de l’espoir aux habitants de la province de Kandahar.

Le Canada, en partenariat avec le gouvernement afghan, les Forces nationales de sécurité afghanes et la FIAS, est déterminé à améliorer la sécurité afi n de mettre en place les conditions

nécessaires à la reconstruction et au développement dans la région. La Force opérationnelle interarmées – Afghanistan continue d’être entièrement engagée dans une initiative qui augmentera graduellement la sécurité, renforcera la gouvernance et permettra au gouvernement Afghan d’accroître son autorité à des régions clés de la province de Kandahar.

OPTOMETRY CLINIC

30 March 2011 OP MOBILE – “Operate

as One” in Action. Last week, the Long Range Patrol (LRP) fl eet deployed two CP-140s, air, maintenance crews, and support personnel from both 14 Wing and 19 Wing Comox. The deployment went from a staff check to 48 hours notice to move (NTM) to 24 NTM to

reality very quickly. The call to launch came at 0035 hrs on Thursday, 24 March and the fi rst aircraft was in the air less than 12 hours later. The second aircraft followed that evening. Getting the crews ready and deployed in such a short time required long hours on the part of many Wing personnel – from the maintainers at 14

Air Maintenance Squadron, many of whom worked 14 hour shifts to get the aircraft ready, to the Wing Logistics staff who prepared loads of aircraft parts and material for transport to Sicily via C-17 and C-130J, to our medical, dental, Administration Support and Readiness Training teams who quickly checked and

cleared a number of personnel to ensure they were ready for deployment, to the crews from 405 and 407 Sqn who pulled folks in from March break to make things happen. Your collective performance was outstanding.

It has been a very busy month and OP MOBILE is just one of the big things all of you pulled off. At the beginning of March - after a long hiatus - the Wing hosted the O’Brien Competition, a readiness evaluation that pitted the Air Expeditionary Unit (AEU) air and maintenance crews from 407 Sqn and 405 Sqn/14 AMS against each other. The Competition, which involved ASW and Over Land ISR fl ights, a simulator mission, exams, torpedo loading and

maintenance events, required a lot of dedicated work on the part of 404 Squadron, Wing Operations, 14 Software Engineering Squadron, the competing Units and many others to put together. The O’Brien Trophy was won by the 14 Wing team from 405 Sqn and 14 AMS. The fastest attack trophy was won by 407 Sqn and 14 AMS took honours in the torpedo loading and maintenance events. You’ll see more details on O’Brien in an upcoming issue of The Aurora Newspaper.

As if OP MOBILE and O’Brien weren’t enough…a crew led by Major Al Harvey landed an Aurora on the frozen gravel runway at Resolute Bay, Nunavut and on the ice covered runway at CFS Alert

– the fi rst time that a CP-140 has landed in either location. Making this event happen was the result of leadership and hard work by personnel from 1 Canadian Air Division Headquarters, the CP-140 Weapon System Manager, the Aerospace Engineering and Test Establishment, Maj Harvey and his crew, Wing Ops, 14 AMS, Maritime Proving and Evaluation Unit, 404 Sqn and 14 SES and others. These landings serve to further demonstrate the ability of the CF to operate in the north and will provide s ign i f i can t opera t iona l advantages for the LRP fl eet.

We are extremely proud of your accomplishments. Stand up and take a bow 14 Wing. You deserve it.

Before long Charlie fi nds he is privy to all sorts of secrets and scandals freely discussed in front of him by the other visitors. These include Southern Belle Catherine Simms (Amanda Woodcock) and the Reverend David Lee (Peter Trites) who has a dark underside to whom she is engaged. Catherine’s younger brother Ellard (Joe Johnson) is a ‘slow young man’ who tries to teach Charlie English. Owen Musser (Hal Jessom) The County Property Inspector plans to oust the property owner Betty Meeks (Chantal Murphy) and convert the lodge into a meeting place for his own ends.

Problem presented…solution offered…skills put to work…problem resolved. If only all problems could be so easily rectifi ed. This was an opportunity to prove just that. The 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS) motto “Dedicated, Driven, Ready” was put to the test this fall when asked

Local Skills Solve a National Problemif they could fi ll a gap in nation supply procurement.

Some Canadian Forces aircraft use or will soon have on board Emergency Personal oxygen Systems (EPOS). The EPOS is designed for individual passengers and crew to put on in case of smoke or fumes in the cabin. Similar principle to the masks you would see demonstrated on a civilian air carrier but having individual units for each person on board.

From left to right: Corporal (Cpl) Raphael Chagnon, Cpl Denis Turcotte and Cpl Damien Leblanc.

Where military aircraft are multi purposed these portable systems were the best option to have. In order to have the EPOS, they need to be protected in special carry on containers until needed.

Here is the problem: There were no more of these containers available any where. None in the supply system, nobody produces them, and a similar item could not be found. 14 AMS Aircraft Structures (ACS) shop was asked whether they could produce carrier containers for the EPOS.

Solution: Within a very quick turn around time, 14 AMS ACS using an example from another squadron and limited product specifi cation was ready to produce the EPOS containers. Everyone agreed, not only could 14 AMS do it, but they could do it well.

Skills: Patterning began and the men and women of 14 AMS ACS went to work to produce 30.

Problem resolved: Ready for issue and input into the supply system, these 30 containers will be split between the CP140 Aurora and C117 Globemaster. These are the fi rst two aircraft, apparently with more to come.

The ability of 14 AMS has not gone unnoticed.

Of course, when you do good work, more people want it. Another order has been received for 12 more containers. Talented and skilled CF members working hard for both 14 Wing and the Air Force. Well Done to 14 AMS. Dedicated, Driven, Ready, & ready for more.

Two weeks ago readers learned about EXERCISE PROUD MANTA, NATO’s largest recurr ing Anti-Submarine Warfare exercise for P-3 Or ion (CP140 Aurora) flight operations. Not only did the Exercise provide an invaluable training opportunity for the aircrew of 405 Squadron (Sqn), but also for technicians from 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS), 14 Wing Supply, and 407 Sqn in Comox, BC.

Three maintenance crews and one supply technician worked round the clock to generate serviceable fl ying assets for the missions. This was no small feat as the technicians encountered many show-stopping snags on both aircraft sent over to Sicily for the exercise. Captain Maxime Leclerc and Warrant Officer Paul Goulding, the Maintenance Flight Command Team, p r o v i d e d e x c e p t i o n a l leadership throughout this challenging time, working tirelessly to pave the way for solutions that enabled the crews to restore aircraft serviceability.

For some technicians, this was their fi rst deployment. These individuals gained a

vast amount of knowledge in a very short period of time as a result of working alongside more experienced technicians to rectify those numerous snags. Both 14 AMS and 407 Sqn technicians worked alongside each other in the crews, affording both Sqns the opportunity to determine best maintenance practices where slight procedural

Exercise Proud Manta: Part Deux

differences were evident.Fortunately, it wasn’t all

work - though it may have seemed that way! All three crews paid their respects to the Canadian Soldiers who gave their lives in the Sicily Campaign of 1943, buried in the War Cemetery at Agira. Some of the crews even managed to visit historical sites and experience the

gracious hospitality and delicious food offered at Sicilian restaurants. The photo was taken at the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, the largest archaeological site in the Mediterranean Area.

Overall, the exercise was a resounding success as the two aircrews from 405 Sqn were able to fl y seven missions each and conduct required crew qualifi cations and upgrades. This achievement would not have been possible but for the phenomenal work and ingenious problem solving skills of the technicians working tirelessly around the clock. Bravo Zulu!

By: Corporal Karen LindsayLast month we took part

in the World Pond Hockey Championships 10 -13 February which took place in the small town of Plaster Rock, NB. I was one of four members of the Women’s Air Force team: Captain (Capt) Heather Smith, Aerospace Engineer from 19

Wing Comox, Capt Dawn Macauley, Cormorant Pilot, 413 Squadron (Sqn), Corporal (Cpl) Karen Lindsay, Aviation Systems Technician (AVN), 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS) and myself Cpl Lindsay Doyle, Resource Management Support (RMS) Clerk, Wing Orderly Room (WOR) Head

Quarters (HQ) all from 14 Wing Greenwood.

This was the 10th Anniversary o f t h e P o n d H o c k e y Championships. It has grown to a total of 120 teams, representing every province in Canada, 35 U.S.A. states and a total of 15 countries from around the globe including Puerto Rico, Denmark, and Singapore! There were media personnel from television, radio and newspapers present to cover the event, including CTV.

The tournament was held on Roulston Lake right in Plaster Rock. There were 20 different rectangular ice surfaces shovelled off, so all 20 games were happening simultaneously.

The teams participating in the tournament ranged from beginners, who were just there to have fun, to teams of men who had all played at the university level and higher; some teams were there raising awareness and money for charities such as breast cancer by handing out pink ribbons and were dressed all in pink. We took part in a charity game against the “Pink team” to raise money for the charity. The 2011 John Chadwick Award Recipient (The oldest participant in the Pond Hockey tournament) was our very own Jerry Meade, from Greenwood NS!

Our jerseys replicated the authentic baby blue RCAF jerseys, and were a huge hit. Everyone was very interested to discover that we were all in the military, and many questions followed about what our jobs entailed.

The Air Force Women’s Team won all four round robin games,

World Pond Hockey Championshipsand ended up fi rst overall for points after tallying up 117 goals for, and only 10 against. This included the big rivalry game against the other military women’s team, the Army Girls. They consisted of 5 Canadian Forces (CF) members posted to Gagetown, Halifax and Ottawa. The Air Force girls came out on top with a score of 20-2!

The town of Plaster Rock was very much involved in hosting the championships, working at the lake, housing teams, and volunteering for the shuttle services provided to all participants. Our team and the Army Women’s team took some time between our games to visit the local elementary school to talk to grades 1, 2 and 3 students. We talked to them about our careers in the military, and how we all met and became friends through playing hockey. The children had many questions for us, and enjoyed all the swag military pens/foam pucks/stickers we had to give them.

During the playoff round on Sunday, the Air Force Women were victorious in the semi fi nals, however were defeated by the returning champions the Hilltop Bud Lights from Fredericton, NB. The fi nal score was 10-6.

Overall it was an amazing four days of playing 4-on-4 hockey on an outdoor lake, and meeting many new people from all over the world who share our love of the sport. Our team is defi nitely planning on returning again next year, and coming away with the World Cup!

Lawrencetown Education

Centre (LEC), a small experiential school located in Lawrencetown hosted a snowshoe challenge on February 23rd promoting

girl’s healthy active living w e e k . L a w r e n c e t o w n invited three other schools in the Annapolis County to participate in a 4km snowshoe trail on the North

Lawrencetown Education Centre Snowshoe Challenge 2011

Mountain in Middleton.The students challenged

themselves achieving their own personal goal time to snowshoe up a 600ft hillside and around a beautiful

snow covered loop. All LEC students took part in different roles, such as safety marshals to guide the athletes through the trails. The event was a huge success with sixteen participants from Bridgetown Regional High School, Annapolis West Education Centre, Middleton Regional High School, and Lawrencetown Education Centre.

At the fi nish line BBQed hot dogs and chili made the minus five weather a tad bit warmer that day. We would like to thank all the

supporters for attending, and for all the positive energy they had.

A huge thanks to the Annapolis County Club 400 and the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board for helping make this event happen. Students and staff at LEC want to make sure this is an annual event that will take place for many years to come. As a school we believe being physically active is a huge importance in young growing bodies and promote healthy active living with everything we do.

Submitted by: Robin Benedict, Executive Director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Annapolis Valley

Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids’ Sake campaign is the largest of the year. Teams from all over the Annapolis Valley became

stars at the “Red Carpet” themed event, helping to raise $22,000 in two days. Without the dedication and spirit of the bowlers and sponsors,

it would not be possible to achieve this success.

“I have been part of Big Brothers Big Sisters for 20 years and it still amazes me the great support we get from our community.” said BBBS of the Annapolis Valley Board Vice Chair Rob Graves “Seeing the smiles on these kids’ faces makes me proud of what Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Annapolis Valley stands for and its focus on investing in our children.”

About Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Annapolis Valley

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Annapolis Valley serves West Hants, Kings and Annapolis County and has been serving children for over 35 years.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters program helps to provide a positive infl uence in the life of a child when one is needed. Big Brothers Big Sisters programs, which are made possible by Bowl For Kids’ Sake funding, have proven instrumental in reducing truancy, bullying, early school leaving, delinquency and substance abuse.

Fun By The NumbersHere’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 fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure 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!

In the past the GMFRC has been fortunate to have CF recruiting from Halifax visit us monthly to meet with individuals in the community who have questions or concerns about joining the Canadian Forces. This has proven to be a popular event and the recruiters have reported a high rate of success with candidates from Greenwood. Unfortunately, CF recruiting had to cancel their visit at the GMFRC for the month of April. The session was originally scheduled to take place on the Monday, the 18th of April from 1300 – 1600 hours. For more information on CF recruiting please contact Stephanie at the GMFRC at 765-5611.

CF Recruiting Visit PostponedSubmitted by: Michelle Thibodeau Wagner, Coordinator

of Special Events and Promotions, Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre 765-1491 local 1421 [email protected]

Are you dancing for joy or dragging your heals because your military member received a posting message this year? Like many families in Greenwood and throughout the CF, you and your family may be on the 2011 posting list. As military families, we understand its all part and parcel of our chosen way of life but we all handle it differently. Some people will look forward to a posting, it may put them closer to family and friends or the new location may better suit their lifestyle. Some families may be facing a posting with trepidation, or bewilderment. Dundurn? Where is that? How do you spell Saskatchewan? Are you serious?

No matter how we feel about it, in most cases the plans are in place and as military families we must follow along. We’re not called the Strength Behind the Uniform for nothing.

Making the transition easier for everyone is all we can do. Here are a few tips. Start off by contacting the Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre (GMFRC). We have information packages on most MFRC’s and that could give you an idea on what life is like in your new area. Check out www.familyforce.ca. From there you can access websites from all MFRC’s in Canada and as well as those abroad. Making contact with your new MFRC can assist you with lists of schools, doctors, daycares etc. MFRC staff is there to provide information and assistance where they can. If we don’t know, we will do our best to lead you in the right direction. It’s best to have your ducks in a row before the moving truck hits the road.

Before you leave, if military family members are planning to look for employment at the new location, the GMFRC’s

Employment and Education Coordinator can help you spruce up resumes and cover letters so that they are complete upon your arrival. If you want some tips on how to fi nd or what to look for in a childcare provider drop in and see our Child and Youth Coordinator. If you have small children, make use of the affordable rates of our full day casual childcare while you make arrangements and get ready for the move.

Happy trails to all who are leaving, best of luck on your new adventure. Thank you for your contribution to our community. Everyone leaves an impact no matter who they are or how big or small it may be. To those who are arriving, welcome to Greenwood. Drop by the GMFRC (big blue building) to say hello. No matter if you are coming or going, get involved in your community, make new connections, and embrace the change. Every location has something great to offer but we ourselves, make or break the experience. The MFRC family is there to help make the transition easier. Make use of the resources that are put in place just for you, our military families.
