The Atlantic Region Bowling Championship was hosted here at 14 Wingfrom the 22nd to the 27th of March. Historically 14 Wing has had a strongcompetitive team winning the championship in 2005, 2006 and 2007 only tobe dethroned in 2008 by Halifax. The Greenwood team was determined toget the championship back after last years defeat especially while hostingthe event. This year we had competition from Gander, Gagetown and ournemesis Halifax was back to defend their title.

We knew the competition was going to be tight and after the first daysresults we were sitting in third place. Gagetown had come out flying scor-ing 29 pts while Halifax was close behind with 25 pts. Greenwood was farbehind with 16.5 pts and Gander was brining up the rear with 9.5 pts.Greenwood and Gander were hoping that they could get there game to-gether for day 2 before it was too late. At the end of the second day thestandings had changed, Gagetown was still in first place with 50.5 pts,with a good day of bowling Greenwood had moved into second place with47 pts, Halifax had lost a little ground dropping down to third with 39 pts

and Gander after many close games was still in fourth with 23.5 pts. Gan-der was the only team at the competition that had 5 bowlers and waswithout a spare which did not allow them to make changes if someonewas having a bad game which directly affected their results.

Going into the last day Greenwood new that if they did not bowl one ofthere best rounds they had no chance of taking the lead from Gagetownand reclaiming the Banner back. After a team meeting our 14 Wing bowl-ers were ready to bowl and as a result of some very good team play theyended up victorious in there endeavour to reclaim the title. Greenwoodended up with 61 pts and Gagetown was right behind with 54.5 pts andthen Halifax with 52 pts. Once again a great team effort eventually wasrewarded. Louis Gallant from Greenwood had a very solid competitionwinning Gold for High Average and High Single and Silver for High Triple.

We would like to thank Manager Tim Martell-Norman from the BowlingCentre for a great job hosting and also Volunteer Angela Fontaine for keepingstats for the championship. Congratulation to the 14 Wing Bowling Team.

Mike Gillam, Kevin Bernon, Louis Gallant, Wade Seymour, Chris Hobson, Robyn Arnold.

Western Valley Vixens Bantam ‘A’ Champions

Western Valley Vixens Bantam ‘A’ Champions. (Photo: Submitterd)

On April 13, 2009, the West-ern Valley Vixens defeated Bed-

ford 4 – 2 to capture the SouthConference Female HockeyFederation Bantam ‘A’ cham-pionship banner. They appliedpressure on the Bedford teamfrom the start of the game andnever let up until the finalbuzzer. Every player gave theirfull effort. They played as ateam and won as a team.

“It was an amazing hockeyseason for the Western Val-ley Bantam Vixens which wasmade up of 14 talented girls,a great coaching staff, andwonderful volunteers andparents. It was evident thatfrom the start that the girlswere going to have a greatseason on and off of the ice.

There were many memora-ble events that happenedthroughout the hockey sea-son from amazing plays thateach of the girls did to a fash-ion and talent show by thecoaches during a tournamentin Moncton and then a trip toProvincials in early Marchwhere 3 girls earned individualawards and the team earnedthe “ Fair Play” Banner.

Many friendships werebuilt that will last a lifetime. It

is definitely safe to say thateach player has learned agreat deal from the coachingstaff and become better play-ers because of it.

Some of our girls will bemoving onto Midget hockeynext year and we wish themthe best of luck as well as tothe girls who will remain inBantam. This is a team that isgoing to find it very difficultto play without each other asthey have bonded so wellthroughout the season. Theircoaches have always saidthat these are an amazingbunch of girls who should beproud of themselves and allthat they have accomplished.Hard work, determination,dedication, and the will to takethe good with the bad cer-tainly paid off and helpedmake this team a winner.

The game of hockey wasinvented by boys but defi-nitely was perfected by girls;that holds true for this excep-tional hockey team. It is verysad to see this season cometo an end but like true hockeyplayers I am sure they can-not wait to do it all over again

next year. Way to go vixens!”,Brent Chamberlain – Parent.

The Bantam Vixens werealso entered into a drawthrough the Scotia bank andwon “The Ultimate Banquet”.This entitles them to a ban-quet for up to 150 guests, acurrent NHL Player attendsas well as motivational speak-ers. Great job Girls.

Marty, Sean and Grahamwould like to send a specialthanks to all the parents whonight after night, from arenato arena got their girls there.We had a blast coaching yourgirls and really appreciateyour encouragement for themto play hockey. Girls, thanksfor showing up every prac-tice and every game, even ondance nights, your dedicationto your team made our jobs alot easier. Thank you.

For more information on Nitrogen Tire Inflationcall 765-6337 and ask for Jim.

Nitrogen is all around us,says Jim Luddington, ServiceManager for Canadian TireGreenwood. When used toreplace oxygen and othergases in tire inflation, itenhances handling, improvesfuel efficiency, extends tire life,protects the Earth and, mostimportantly, keeps you saferon the road.

By reducing the percentage ofoxygen, water vapour and othergases in your tires for 22% to 7%or lower, your tires will maintainproper pressure longer than if youuse “plain old air.” For example,with 95% nitrogen in your tires,they retain optimal pressure threeto four times longer, states Jim.

Proper tire pressure is a bigdeal. Maintain it with nitrogen, andyou will see these three primary

benefits:• Increased Fuel Efficiency- Correct tire pressurekeeps the manufacturer’srecommended “contactPatch” on the road. Thislessens the rolling

resistance and maximizesfuel efficiency.

• Longer TireLife - When it

comes in contact with othermaterials, oxygen causesoxidation. Oxidation can makerubber brittle and cause it tolose tensile strength. Inaddition, at high temperaturesand pressures, oxygen reactsand damages inner tire linersand belt packages; andnitrogen does not.

• Increased Safety - Under-inflated tires cause 90% ofblowouts. Nitrogen providesmore reliable pressure forreduced blowout potential.

Other Benefits:• Improved TPMS Performance

- If you have a new car, youlikely are plagued by a flashinglight telling you your tirepressure is low. For example,one woman’s light was goingoff every four to five weeks.After inflating with nitrogen, her

light did not reappear for 53weeks!

• More Predictable PressureFluctuation - NASCAR teamsuse nitrogen so they can moreaccurately predict tire pressurefluctuation. Regular com-pressed air can fluctuateconsiderably when watervapour is present.

• Longer Rim Life - Rim rustcaused by condensation fromwater vapour and other gasescan get caught in valves andcreate slow leaks in tires.Nitrogen is completely dry, so iteliminates the potential forcondensation.

Negotiating salary can bea touchy subject for manyemployment seekers. A few

tips and tricks when discuss-ing salary include:• Try to put off talking about

salary until a firm job offerhas been made. When youhave a firm job offer it be-comes a great opportunityfor the company to see the

value of your skills andthey will be more willing tobe flexible on pay scales inorder to acquire your as-sets.

• Compare your skills withothers in the trade and de-termine what these skillsare worth to an employer.Being armed with competi-tive wage information is agreat way to influence theemployer to stick to a com-petitive wage bracket.

• Determine what your find-ings are for a realistic sal-ary range to cover your ex-penses. However, whennegotiating with the em-ployer focus on what yourvalue to the company israther than what you needto cover monthly living ex-penses. The employer maynot be interested in whatyou need to pay bills butmore inclined to pay agreater amount for thevalue of your skills.To learn more about em-

ployment tips and tricks, con-tact Stephanie.

After hosting and winningthe Atlantic Region Men’sChampionship in dramaticovertime fashion, the 14 Winghockey community was aliveand well in preparation for the2009 CF Hockey nationalheld this year 21-27 March inHalifax.

Three members of the 14Wing team were also selectedas augmentees to representthe Atlantic Region as mem-bers of the Halifax Marinerscompeting at the CF ladiesNational Championship inShearwater the same dates.

The 14 Wing Ladies, CaptMary MacDonald, CplLindsay Doyle and Cpl KarenLindsay under the guidance ofcoaches Rocky Thorne andBlair Ross attended tourna-ments and practice sessionsin preparation of this year’snational. You see, the Atlanticentry the past two years hadfinished in the top of thestandings after the roundrobin only to be defeated inthe crossovers, something thisyear they were determined notto let happen.

The 14 Wing Men had justdefeated Halifax who hadtaken the Atlantic Region andNational title for the past sev-eral years in fact the last timethe Bombers went to the na-tional was in 1998.

The tournament started offwith a combined meet andgreet at the Keith’s BreweryMarket in Halifax who hosted250 players, coaches, officialsand organizers of the event onSaturday evening. Play startedearly Sunday morning with themen’s first contest takingplace immediately after theopening ceremonies at 1330.The 14 Wing men were theshow as the “Blonde Bomb-

ers” outfitted in their neverseen before RCAF Flyers jer-seys stood out amongst the10 teams on the ice. The teamstarted out slow and, al-though coming back in thethird against Cold Lake, lost aclose 4-3 decision. Next, themen faced what many consid-ered the top team in the tour-nament. the Ontario entry fromKingston. A slow start onceagain could not be made up inthe third despite outscoringthere opponents late in thegame suffered a 7-3 loss.Coach Winston Clements gotthe team together and ad-dressed the two factors thathad been working againstthem, penalties and a slowstart. Their next game with ValCartier was a barn-burner withthe Atlantic team tying thescore with less than two min-utes to go. Quebec wentahead with less than a minuteto go and despite a cross barand post the Bombers were onthe short end of a 5-4 decision.The Bombers fate was now intheir own hands as the finalcontest with Pacific (Comox)was their ticket to the playoffs.

The boys responded in theirsecond game of the day in asee-saw offensive match fin-ishing strong with a 7-5 vic-tory. Wade Sutton MVP. I don’tknow who exactly first said thatanything can happen in theplayoff’s however, it is true,as the number four Bombersplayed great defensive hockeyand took advantage of ColdLake’s mistakes squeaking outa 3-2 victory. Ali Laaouan wasselected as the MVP.

The stage was now set forthe Men’s final game with ahigh flying Val Cartier squadfresh of the upset of Kingstonvs. the team driven Bombers

from Greenwood. The finalgame started of as many theothers had for the Bombers bygetting behind early with a fewpenalties and despite a grittynever give up attitude lost toa younger, faster group ofhockey players receiving CFNational Silver medals. Manythanks to the Bombers coach-ing staff Winston Clementsand Kevin Hynes for a greatseason of entertaining hockey.

On the ladies side theystarted out on Sunday with animpressive 7-1 routing of thePrairie all stars 7-1. KirstinLindstol MVP. Monday was abusy day for our ladies as they

played two games respondingwith decisive victories overPacific 3-1 and Quebec 4-0.MVP‘s for the games bothAtlantic players CharleneArsenault and Monique Ryan.Tuesday had the undefeatedAtlantic team playing con-tender Ontario, and despiteheavily out shooting them af-ter two periods, the score re-mained very close. Halifaxowned the third period andeventually after over 40 shotsthe Ontario keeper could nolonger stop the determinedHalifax offence that went onto win 5-3, with the Ontariokeeper as the MVP. The stage

was set for the once again At-lantic entry to face their nem-eses Prairie who had oustedthem the previous year. Thefocused group of Atlanticplayers put all that to rest witha convincing 6-2 win. MVP, 14Wing’s Mary MacDonald. Itwas now a date in the final withthe Ontario girls who were ledby their all star goaltender. Inthe final both teams played cau-tious hockey with Halifax onceagain having lot’s of shotsdeadlocked with the Ontarioteam until the third, when theyscored three unansweredgoals on route to a 4-1 win andundefeated tournament, cap-

turing CG Gold in 2009. The 14Wing ladies were very happywith the way they were wel-comed onto the team and at-tributed the team’s success tothe leadership of the coach-ing staff, seasoned veteransand remaining focusedthroughout the championship.

The words of ColonelCooper, the Hockey Sports Pa-tron praised the efforts of allplayers, coaches, officials, fansand the exceptional job thatHalifax did in hosting the 2009Nationals. It indeed had a mari-time flavour including the pres-entation of Sou’Westers to theNational winning teams.

Blocks of chairs are beingtaken out of the outside sections of the theatre as a source ofspare parts for the middle sections.

The PTSA has earmarked $25,000.00 to get this projectgoing but they are asking friends and alumni of West Kingsto jump on board or on cushions and help out!
