SAR-Tech and ultrarunnergoes the distance to raiseawareness for new program
Air Force / Force Aérienne
17 WING WINNIPEG – CanadianForces member and Canada’s MaleUltrarunner of the Year, SergeantAndrew McLean, departs for a chal-lenging international, 740-kilometerrace to raise awareness for theCanadian Paralympic Committee’s(CPC) Soldier On program.
CPC is working closely with the CFto have the Soldier On program help torehabilitate injured soldiers throughsports. Sgt McLean learned about theprogram while searching for a cause todedicate his Yukon Artic Ultra to.
“I would like to do my part to helpinjured soldiers get back in the game –running, biking, skiing, whatever it isthey want to do,” says Sgt AndrewMcLean. “These soldiers are young andhave full lives ahead.”
“The primary area of interest is tohelp injured Canadians, and injuredsoldiers, become involved in sport, as aproven way of rehabilitation,” says CPCpresident Carla Qualtrough. “We see itas an ideal way of promotingParalympic Sport in Canada. Our aim
is to develop a sport system for peoplewith disabilities, including soldiers, thatencourages participation at all levels,from recreational to high perform-ance.”
Since Sgt McLean has becomeinvolved in Soldier On, others acrossthe CF have offered their support byorganizing fundraising initiatives, suchas a rock concert, a dinner, and a dive-a-thon.
Sgt Andrew McLean is one of twoCanadians to enter the Yukon ArcticUltra’s 460-mile event. With only 13days to complete the trek through theArctic, that is nearly 18 full marathons.As the current Canadian MaleUltrarunner of the Year, and Canada’sfastest 100-mile marathon runner in2005, training has become a lifestyle forthe world-class athlete.
McLean will benefit from the broadrange of Arctic skills and experiencethat he has honed as a Search andRescue Technician in the CanadianForces. Serving at 17 Wing Winnipeg,his Squadron’s area of responsibility forsearch and rescue includes much ofCanada’s Artic.

1977 – More than 60,000 young Canadians who belong to cadet corpsacross the country are being issued new uniforms. Sea, Army and Aircadets will receive green uniforms similar in colour to those worn bymembers of the Canadian Forces. The cost of the new uniforms wasestimated at $7.6 million. The new working issue differs from tradi-tional dress uniforms. Rugged and comfortable, they are designed forchallenging cadet training and activities.
1987 – The Associate Minister of National Defence, the HonourablePaul Dick, announced a project to provide a gift of three sonar systemsto Portugal.

Like the two villagesthat have risen out ofthe dust of California’sMojave Desert, theMaritime Patrol air-craft loitering overheadWadi Al Sahara andKhalidiyah is a littleunexpected.
On a 200-acre par-cel of the MojaveDesert, U.S. Marineshave fashioned over400 sea containers intohouses, shops andmosques. Living amongthem are 350 actors, 50of them Iraqi nationals,who in their dress, lan-guage and day-to-dayactivities bring the twohypothetical Iraqi set-tlements to life.
This is the MarineCorps’ Air GroundCombat Centre, andthe action unfoldingbefore the eyes of a 407Squadron Aurora -training for the firsttime ever with theMarines - is part of thelargest and most realis-tic exercise in the U.S.Marine Corps.
Known as MojaveViper, the exercise isintended to prepare theMarines for both com-bat and humanitarianmissions prior todeploying to Iraq. Butthat doesn’t explain theAurora - an aircraftthat has spent most ofits 26 years in serviceover water - circlingoverhead.
The answer lies inexploring new applica-tions for the Aurora’s
reconnaissance and sur-veillance capability,taking advantage of theaircraft ’s powerfulcommunications equip-ment, long enduranceand potent new camerasystem to monitor andreport on land-basedactivity. Being part ofMojave Viper gives theAurora vital experienceat an emerging capabil-ity that, one day, mightbe used to supportCanadian Forces oper-ations.
“This exercise isvery realistic,” says tac-tical navigator Maj.Luc Boucher. “You seetanks, soldiers, villageslike you might see inAfghanistan. This isfirst-hand experience.”
This 407 Squadrondeployment, in lateNovember, marked thefirst time the squadronworked with U.S.Marines in an overlandcoalition environment.However, with MojaveViper running everymonth, Boucher is hop-ing the Canadians willbe asked back.
“In terms of over-land operations, this isone of the best,” hesays. “The are manysimilarities between theMarines and theCanadian Forces,which means we canoperate easily withthem. It ’s also a greatvenue to incorporatewith ground forceswhat the Aurora hasbeen doing for yearswith the Navy.”
Watching for suspi-
cious activity above andbelow the ocean andreporting it toCanadian or alliednaval forces has beenthe Aurora’s raisond’être for decades.Lately, with their state-of-the-art camera andthe need to supporttroops on the ground,Aurora crews have beenhoning their skills overthe relatively unfamil-iar land environment.
On VancouverIsland that training hastaken several uniqueforms, such as locatingand following a mili-tary vehicle drivingdown the IslandHighway. As well, theyhave participated in CF
exercises in Alberta andBritish Columbia overthe past year. But thereis more to the overlandrole than simply beingable to see something.Boucher says timelinessand accuracy are key,though the two areoften at cross-purposes.
“The informationwe provide is highlytime sensitive,” he says.“If forces on theground don’t get itright away, then it ’s nogood. But at the sametime, the minute youreport a hostile, actionwill be taken againsthim. You’ve got to befast, but you’ve got toget it right.”
Proof that the
Aurora crew could dojust that came when aMarine was reportedkidnapped as part ofthe exercise. Boucher’screw spotted the vehi-cle used in the abduc-tion and followed it ontheir camera.Continuous radioreports f rom theAurora focussed theefforts of a rescueforce, and led to theMarine being safelyfreed just minutes later.
Despite the crew’ssteep learning curve,Boucher says theAurora proved itself anatural at supportingground forces. Whetherit was monitoring anurban assault, scruti-
nizing a route to betaken by friendly forcesor investigating possi-ble improvised explo-sive devices, he says thecrew was up to thechallenge.
“You could see theimprovement from dayone,” Boucher says. “Bythe end of the missionwe could do prettymuch everything wewere asked to do. Ittells me that theAurora is a tool thatcan be integrated inCanadian Forces oper-ations, providing thecommander on theground with real timeinformation that canhave a dramatic impacton the mission.”

Overuse Injuries
Overuse injuries are very common in the fitness industry,but can and should be avoided as they are the numberone reason to keep people out of their regular exerciseprogram.
When following a fitness regime be sure to shake upyour program to avoid overuse injuries.
For example if running is your method of cardio andyou run/train 3-5 days a week, make sure one of thosetraining days is promoting your cardiovascular condition-ing with something other than a run, go for a swim, takea fitness class, do the elliptical but try to avoid the sameactivity over and over.Learn the benefits of cross training!

Canada Revenue Agency -- Did you know that you canclaim,as a non-refundable tax credit,medical expenses foryourself, your spouse or common-law partner, and yourchildren born in 1989 or later?
For 2006, the total expenses have to be more than 3per cent of your net income, or $1,884, whichever is less.
You may also be able to claim medical expenses for thefollowing persons if they depend on you for support: youor your spouse or common-law partner’s child or grand-child who was born in 1988 or earlier; and you or yourspouse or common-law partner’s parent or certain closerelatives who lived in Canada at any time in the year.
For more information on medical expenses, visitwww.cra.gc.ca/tax/individuals/menu-e.html and select“M”from the drop-down menu for “medical expenses.”

(NC)-Last May’s federal budget offered up some changesthat you will not want to miss when preparing your 2006 taxreturn.The new $250 Canada Employment Credit will ben-efit most working Canadians. The credit, which recognizeswork-related expenses incurred by employees, will go up to$500 in 2007.
Pensioners will see an increase in the maximum eligiblepension income credit from $1,000 to $2,000,while studentswill find their scholarships and bursaries are now tax-exempt.
On your 2006 return you may now also claim the cost ofpublic transit passes for transportation taken after June 30,2006. The transit passes must have been used by you, yourspouse or dependent child under 19 and must display keyinformation (including a duration of a month or more, thename of the transit authority and the rider’s name).A datedproof of payment accompanying the pass can make up formissing information.

As allowed by the CRA,UFile tax software will automatically transfer UCCB incomeyou enter into the program to the spouse with the lowestincome.
Watch for these valuable tax credits, deductions andincome transfers when preparing your return or rely on aquality tax program such as UFile to seek them out auto-matically. UFile is available as an online program atwww.ufile.ca or at Future Shop and Best Buy stores acrossCanada.

While fireplaces are usuallyconsidered a decorativealternative, the use of awood stove in the homehas become quite a popularchoice as the main sourceof heat. And while thefireplace may cut down onheating bills, keep in mindyou are still dealing withfire. And fire can be dead-ly.
The most immediatehazards of a fireplace orwood stove are these:
Fire may escape direct-ly, in the form of hot coalsor sparks;
Radiant heat may begreat enough to ignitenearby combustible mate-rials;
Flammable residues inthe chimney may catch fireand spread to adjacentwood framing or to theroof.
The benefits of stovesand fireplaces can be real-ized in a safe home envi-ronment only throughproper installation and reg-ular maintenance.
If you plan to install oralter a stove or a fireplace,the project must be careful-ly carried out in accordancewith the manufacturer’sinstructions and at thesame time meet fire pre-vention or building coderegulations of the regionwhere you live. Find outwhat the building codes arein your area before youbegin installations of anykind. Usually fire codesprovide specific instruc-tions for stove placement.It is important to place theappliance a safe distancebetween the fire and near-by walls as wood can igniteat temperatures as low as200°F which is much lessthan the 800°F tempera-ture radiated by somestoves! Most codes requireprotective shields behindand beneath a stove and itsflue to dissipate heat beforeit reaches combustible wallor floor materials. Mostcodes also specify thethickness of the masonry ina fireplace and chimneyand the amount of air spacethat is required between
the masonry and com-bustible interior walls.
Regular inspection,cleaning and maintenanceare the best insuranceagainst chimney fires andfires resulting from a dam-aged stove or flue.Thoroughly check theentire system before light-ing the first fire of the sea-son and repeat inspectionson a regular basis everymonth or so. Safety tips forstoves and fireplaces:
Use proper accessoriesfor your wood burning sys-tem. Cradle shaped grateswill keep burning logsfrom falling or rollingbeyond the firebox open-ing.
A metal container pro-vides safe transport ofashes, which may containhot coals. Store them in asafe place outdoors for atleast 24 hours before dis-carding them.
Every fireplace requiresa close-fitting screen orglass doors to preventsparks and hot coals frompopping out.
Pay attention to the fireitself. Never allow a stoveto become so hot the metalglows. Heat this intensecan cause dangerouscracks.
There must be a suffi-cient supply of fresh airthrough outside ducts toensure good combustion inthe fireplace.
Don’t burn trash, plas-tic, Christmas trees, wrap-ping paper or anything thatprovides a sudden, intenseflame.
If you do have a chim-ney fire, cut off the chim-ney’s air supply to starvethe fire and call your firedepartment.
Keep a fire extinguisherhandy to the fireplace orstove and be trained in itsuse. A fire extinguisherwill not help if you don’tknow how to use it.
Burn only the fuels forwhich a stove is designed.Avoid any substance thatcould increase the heat ofthe fire, starter fluids, coal,cardboard and especiallytrash such as Christmastree boughs and plasticwrappings.
Never store extra fire-wood so close to the flamesit might ignite outside thefirebox.
If fire does break outyou can ensure an earlywarning with properlyinstalled smoke detectors.
Fireplaces and woodstoves are great alternativesfor heating. Just make sureyou are aware and can han-dle the possible dangersassociated with them.

"STAGED" 2 SELLHome Staging is FREE when you list with
by Shelley Simpson.
Home "STAGING" is ahouse SOLD word that homeowners are slowly becomingaware of. With all the designand renovation shows ontelevision today, sellers aregetting "on board" with thisnew technique in home
marketing.
Home staging is more than style sense anddecorating ability. In fact, decorating ability mayhinder a house from being staged well. Staging aproperty really means assessing the targetedbuyer, how they want to live in the house, andcreating a series of impressions throughout theproperty so buyers fall in love with it.
Today’s buyers are increasingly getting homeinspections after an accepted offer, so sellersneed do to do everything possible to make theirproperties more appealing to buyers before listing,therefore selling faster and for more money.
Hiring an Accredited Staging Professional is thefirst step in preparing your home before it is listed.Before any work begins, I would be happy to helpyou see your home through the objective eyes ofa prospective buyer. Making the right impressionis critical. You want these buyers to rememberonly your house.
"Buyers only know what they seeNot the way it’s going
to be!"
"Clutter Eats Equity"
ONE THING IS FOR SURE IF YOU ARE NOT STAGING YOUR HOUSE .YOUR COMPETITION IS!
