Sergeant (retired) Clark Montgomery has a decades-long fl ying history; at 99-and-a-half years old, he is still up for an adventure.
The Greenwood resident was a member of 428 Bomb-er Squadron during the Sec-ond World War, a Lancaster mid-upper gunner on mul-tiple fl ights from an English airfield over the channel. After the war, he served to 1971, putting in a number of years in air traffi c control at now-14 Wing Greenwood. In 2019, the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum included Montgomery in its Lancaster Living Legends program, with his signed plaque now riveted inside the museum’s airpark Lancaster.
June 29, Montgomery was in the air again over Green-wood, a passenger aboard an Annapolis Valley Flight
Training Centre Cessna 172 with director of operations Pierre Malo. The late after-noon flight was a Father’s Day surprise from his fam-ily, as his December 100th birthday might make for a chilly experience.
“We had to tell him about, and he was very excited,” said his stepdaughter, Pat House. “What do you get someone who’s turning 100?”
Well, you get him the fl ight, but you also give him back the hand-sized, homemade fi gure Montgomery carried on every flight during the war. His sister made him the small doll, complete with an aviator’s helmet and para-chute, and sent it to him in a care package. Montgomery kept “Little Man” in his fl ight suit pocket: Little Man was well-known among the Lan-caster crew, so much so the pilot himself wouldn’t take off without checking Montgom-ery had him on board.

14 Wing Greenwood’s 14 Air Maintenance Squadron will mark a combined change of appointment for its chief war-rant offi cer and a change of command for its commanding offi cer in an 11 a.m. ceremony Thursday, July 15, in the Annapolis Mess.
Chief Warrant Offi cer Kevin Wezenbeek will turn over his responsibilities to the incoming Chief Warrant Offi cer David McDowell; Lieutenant-Colonel Cory Marchand will conclude his command and sign the squadron over to the incoming Lieutenant-Colonel Aleem Sajan.
The in-person ceremony is invite-only to allow for public health gathering limits, with a virtual option open to 14 Wing through its MS Teams platform.

Without the “morale, per-severance and dedication” of the people of 14 Mission support Squadron, “there is no successful mission.”
Chief Warrant Offi cer Na-thalie Fortin highlighted the work of 14 MSS June 29, as she turned her duties over to the incoming Chief Warrant Offi cer Trevor Porteous in a change of appointment cer-emony at the Annapolis Mess.
“Keep working hard and, remember, your work as a supporter is very important. I ask you to provide the same to your new chief. Chief Por-teous: you are getting a great squadron of people. Please take care of them.”
Porteous has been posted to Greenwood before, and

“As we went around and met the 14 MSS flights, it became very evident to me you command respect, you are kind-hearted and com-passionate,” Porteous said.
To 14 MSS Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Sherri Buckler, who was the presiding offi cer at the change of appointment, Por-teous said he looks forward to being her command team partner.
“I have a lot to learn, but I have no doubt we will work through challenges, ultimate-ly, together.”
Buckler thanked Fortin for her contributions – and friendship – through the past year of her command.
“People who knew each of us individually and inde-pendently were correct: they knew we were going to get along famously.” Buckler said. “That was an under-statement.
“We think a lot alike, we were on the same page a lot of the past year and there
was mutual respect to talk about our differences – and then come out together. I also appreciated our unique perspective as an all-female command team in the squad-ron, and on the wing. You have been very inspirational to a lot of 14 MSS’s female members. Thank you.”
Buckler welcomed Porte-ous to a “very driven squad-ron.

14 Wing Greenwood Com-mander Colonel Brendan Cook was a guest at the change of appointment cer-emony, using the occasion to congratulate both Fortin and Porteous, but also to thank the members of 14 MSS.
“Airplanes are beautiful machines – but nothing hap-pens if there are no people to fi x them, fuel them, feed crew, pay crew…. All of that has to be done, and it’s heavy lifting by 14 MSS that hap-pens before a single aircraft takes off and lasts long after it lands,” said Cook.
“Thank you for the work you do every day – the work is exceptional; you are excep-tional.”

Exercise AMALGAM DART 21-1 is a North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) Arctic air defence exercise, staged from multiple North-ern locations in Canadian airspace. It is a live-fl y exercise involving American, Canadian and NATO fighter and sup-port aircraft deploying and conducting operations in the high Arctic from the region’s deployed operating bases (DOB), fl exible alert sites, and forward operating locations
Captain Brenden Clark,405 (Long Range Patrol)

June 7, 405 (Long Range Patrol) Squadron marked another fi rst in its long history of milestones and accomp-lishments: the fi rst fl ight by a 405 Squadron crew of a CP140 Aurora modifi ed under Block IV of the Aurora Incre-mental Modernization Project (AIMP).
Since the fi rst delivery of a “Block IV” Aurora to 14 Wing Greenwood in February 2020, the modified aircraft have been undergoing a series of ground and flight tests to ensure the safety and effective integration of their airframe modifi cations and new ope-rational systems. Of the many modifi cations, most noticeab-ly, the Block IV aircraft feature a new satellite communication system mounted in a “hump” on the upper fuselage (already
Outgoing 14 Wing Green-wood Band Master, War-rant Officer Jeff Campbell, was recently inducted as an honorary member of the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum Society.

Bandmaster fêted for museum contributionsof the band. As well, with the permission of the wing commander and wing chief, Campbell provided musicians for museum events, such as Wings and Wheels, and an-nual performances at the 14 Wing Mess and the Kingston Memorial Park, where dona-tions went to furthering the work of the museum.
Campbel l ’s departure means a change in lifestyle: he will be commissioned, but will remain a musician and continue to inspire others to
be their best.The induction was per-
formed at the museum, with the presentation of a scroll and the society lapel pin by society chairman Ian Patrick.

Amalgam Dart 21-1: search, rescue in the North(FOL).
Safety of fl ight while train-ing for the real thing is al-ways paramount and, if an unfortunate event such as an ejection were to happen in the high Arctic, the fi ghter pilot would be thousands of miles away from help in a harsh and unforgiving environment. That is why a CH149 Cormorant search and rescue (SAR) helicopter from 413 (Trans-port and Rescue) Squadron, 14 Wing Greenwood, was deployed to Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert to pro-vide SAR support through all phases of the Ex AMALGAM
DART.This task, in a massive
area of responsibility, was shouldered by 413 Squadron search and rescue technicians (SAR-Techs) Sergeant Ryan Morris and Master Corporal Frank Guertin, along with the helicopter crew and support technicians. Transiting four days to make it to CFS Alert and be poised to provide SAR response at a moment’s notice for a 12-hour period each day was no small task, made pos-sible through the dedication and stamina we see in our SAR professionals.
The Cormorant crew prac-
ticed its SAR mandate during the exercise by conducting training in the Northern envi-ronment, including mountain flying techniques and land-ings, confi ned area landings, hoisting evolutions, parachute insertions and obscuring phe-nomena take-off and landing techniques. Weather is often a major factor in SAR – es-pecially in the North; luckily, the 2 degrees Celsius days with relatively few clouds and light winds were not too bad for training. Factors that did affect crews included chang-es to their circadian rhythm (continuous daylight at that
latitude), the heavy operating weight of the helicopter, which carried lots of fuel due to the scarcity of refueling locations; and, as has been the norm for the last 15 months, COVID-19 protocols. The crew isolated from the rest of the CFS Alert members to prevent against a COVID-19 outbreak in a remote location.
AMALGAM DART was a success from a safety stand-point, in that no one needed SAR help during the flying phase; however, as the Cor-morant was transiting the four-day trip home, the Res-cue Coordination Centre in
Halifax had a real-life mission: a medevac from a fi shing ves-sel 250 miles off the coast of Iqaluit. The crew waited 10 hours for the vessel to get within range and then tran-sited to extract the patient. The SAR-Techs did what they do best and retrieved the person in medical distress, bringing them back safely to land where an awaiting CC130H Hercules, also from 413 Squadron, was waiting with SAR-Techs War-rant Offi cer Damien Robison and Sergeant Brad Nisbet, who continued patient care during the fl ight to hospital in St John’s.

Pathfinders mark ‘routine, typical, seamless’ first flight of Block IV Aurora
nicknamed the “canoe” by many, due to its resemblance of an upside-down boat hull). As a result of this major airfra-me modifi cation, specialized fl ight testing by pilots from the Aerospace Engineering and Testing Establishment (AETE), supported by 415 (Long Range Patrol Force Development) Squadron, was required as part of the Block IV implementation process. While several testing and trai-ning milestones remain before the full operational integration of Block IV can be conduc-ted, sufficient flight testing has now been completed to validate the fl ight dynamics models and confi rm the safe fl ying characteristics of the aircraft. As a result, the Block IV Auroras in Greenwood have been released to the 14 Wing fl ying program for use by line crews on pilot proficiency fl ights (PPFs).
CP140 Aurora fl ight deck
crews conduct PPFs, which do not require a full back-end tactical crew to be on board, on a regular basis to hone and maintain fl ying skills essential for safe and effective long range patrol operations. June 7, Captain Jacques Robiche-au became the fi rst aircraft captain from 405 Squadron to sign-out a Block IV Aurora for such a mission. He was joined by fellow pilots Captain Evan Fay and Captain Brenden Clark, United States Navy exchange pilot Lieutenant McKenna Cox, flight engi-neer Corporal Aaron Marks, and acoustic sensor operator Corporal Kyle Piercey fi lling the designated “4th crew-member” position (so called because of the duties to be performed by a fourth person with a four-member minimum crew).
The mission began in the typical fashion of a PPF, with the crew discussing the trai-ning goals and objectives for the day, followed by a review of relevant weather, notices to airmen (NOTAMS) and aircraft
maintenance records. With a flight plan filed through air traffi c control and pre-fl ight checks complete, “Pathfin-der 18” took off into clear skies and conducted what would otherwise be conside-red an entirely routine fl ight. The crew proceeded to the northeast to practice visual fl ight rules (VFR) navigation and communication around Cape Breton, continued south to Halifax, and then back to
the Greenwood Military Ter-minal Control Area (MTCA). Each pilot then conducted an instrument approach and multiple “touch-and-gos” in the visual traffic pattern to reset their currency and practice takeoffs and landings. The four-hour mission also concluded typically, with a familiar trip through the rinse rack (or “bird bath”) to rinse away any salt spray present from fl ying over the ocean.
While this fl ight represen-ted a new milestone for 405 Squadron, the fact the mission itself was so routine for the flying crew is perhaps just as signifi cant. With no major differences noticed between fl ying a Block III Aurora and the new Block IV Aurora that day, it likely speaks well to a seamless transition for the flight deck crews as more Block IV aircraft arrive on the line in Greenwood.

we can do a really small thing that makes everyone feel included,” Thomas said. “While most members may never benefi t from use of the room, you will benefi t from a space that provides a supportive and inclusive en-vironment for our members so we may build a stronger team.
“This is a great day for
404, and 14 Wing. Please spread the word on the availability of the space.”
The room was a brain-stormed idea from the wing’s Defence Women’s Advisory Group last fall, and 404 Squadron took it on over the winter, clearing a room with a handy wash-room, sourcing a change table, chairs and some soft
furnishings to turn a typi-cal concrete block-walled offi ce into something more personal. Members visiting the Orderly Room while on parental leave may use the space, and there is even a small fridge to store ex-pressed milk for the day, until it’s ready to travel home with a returned-to-work parent.

lishing The Period Project to help ensure that the needs of marginalized students are met. She also participated in a focus group about this issue, lending her voice to those who were underrepresented and often unheard. Carly is interested in entrepreneurship and currently works at a local farm market where she is con-tinuing to apply her leadership skills, not only in learning about the business, but also in the realities of COVID-19, learning just how diffi cult and important the needed balance between safety protocols and customer service can be.

Her efforts are not unnoticed. She is currently running for offi ce in CKRHS student govern-ment elections in an effort to facilitate a positive school environment for all students.

The Annapolis Valley has many things to offer - includ-ing some good venues for RCMP “H” Division Police Dog Services to conduct training.
Valley residents may ob-serve uniformed police dog handlers and their dogs training in different areas throughout the Valley, most frequently on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. RCMP training is designed to be non-intru-sive to the public. RCMP po-
lice dogs are a key resource for RCMP offi cers and public safety. Through this training, the dogs and their handlers keep their necessary skills sharp for when they are called to serve.
If a member of the public is witnessing something suspi-cious and feel it is an emer-gency, they are encouraged to dial 911. If their concern is a non-emergency, the public is asked to contact the near-est offi ce of the RCMP.

To the Class of 2021, West Kings District High School“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” – Helen Keller
In many ways, 2021 has seemed like a closed door. As you go forward to your new lives, grasp with both hands and your heart, the gifts that “closed door” gave you. This last year has taught us all to take care of others, and to be thoughtful,
not only of yourself but of those around you. You have faced the challenges of the last 15 months with determination, patience, and hope. YOU ARE ready! CONGRATULATIONS to you all for a job well done.
Sincerely, The Commissioners and Staff , Village of Greenwood

Middleton Regional celebrates grads June 29
Kente is a connection to African culture. Kente cloth is worn for festivals, gradu-ation ceremonies and sacred occasions. The kente sash is a ceremonial garment worn as an acknowledgement of African ancestry. It symbol-izes accomplishment, com-
munity, unity and pride. Kente is an Asante ceremonial cloth, hand-woven on a horizontal treadle loom, a visual rep-resentation of history, phi-losophy, ethics, oral literature, moral values, a social code of conduct, religious belief, political thought and aesthetic
principles. The term “kente” has its roots in the word “kenten,” which means basket in Ashanti.

with a specially designed sash. Each sash has decorated ribbons in the four sacred colours – red, black, white and yellow. These colours are sacred, not only as a part of Mi’kmaq culture, but as part of the culture of many in-digenous groups throughout Turtle Island. The colours are
said to represent unity among all nations, which includes First Nation, Inuit and Metis groups. An eagle feather has been embroidered on the sash
to represent graduation as an important accomplishment in the lives of each student and to acknowledge all students who identify as indigenous.

TO THE GRADUATING 2021 CLASS
Take pictures. Take time to celebrate. Then get ready to take on the world!
Congratulations on your graduation! It is no small thing to have accomplished
and you have done it through Covid restrictions.You are well on your way. Good luck!
Le mercredi 23 juin, six fi nissant.e.s ont reçu leur di-plôme d’études secondaires de l’École Rose-des-Vents. Comme l’année dernière, chacun.e a eu droit à sa propre cérémonie intime à l’extérieur. Heureusement, le soleil était une fois de plus au rendez-vous.
Bien que la pandémie ait privé ces jeunes gens de rites de passage importants, il y a des avantages à une remise de diplôme indivi-duelle. Au lieu de prononcer un discours préparé pour l’ensemble de la classe, la directrice a profité des circonstances pour parler de façon plus personnelle à chaque fi nissant.e. Elle les a aussi invité.e.s à choisir trois roses (l’école en avait acheté des blanches, des
jaunes et des rouges), à en garder une pour soi et à donner les deux autres à des personnes les ayant soutenu.e.s pendant leur parcours scolaire.
Quelques bourses et prix dont le ou la récipiendaire était déjà connu.e et pouvait donc être annoncé.e :
Zoë Anderson Gillis – Mé-daille académique du gou-verneur général du Canada; bourse du comité de parents de l’École Rose-des-Vents, 250 $.
Raphaël Marchand – bourse du comité de parents de l’École Rose-des-Vents, 500 $.
Aisha Sommerfeld – Mé-daille de la reine Élizabeth II; Burlington Community Bursary, 625 $.
