One big cheque to “Our communi ty” represents $90,000 worth of success-ful fundraising by 14 Wing Greenwood personnel.
Wing Commander Colonel Jim Irvine announced the re-sults of the base’s Combined Charities’ efforts from June 1,

2011 to the end of May this spring June 26 at 14 Wing headquarters, with Combined Charities wing volunteers and invited guests from recipient charities on hand.
“14 Wing is extremely proud to support the local community,” Irvine said. “Our people here – military and civilian – are known for their generosity, and we’re very
much engaged in the com-munity. Our families do a lot to fundraise and organize activities: we’re warm-hearted people.”
The $90,000 represents, Irvine said, “what we think we raised:” for the fi rst year, the Combined Charities program attempted to track all base fundraising, from the smallest endeavour in individual offi ces
and sections to the offi cial, committee-run events and dress-down Fridays.
“We know people are col-lecting pop bottles in their offi ces – and that happens all the time. We wanted to put a fi ner point on just what this military community does.”
Combined Charities will now become known as Wing Charities, still run by base-

Museum
June 20, at the VPI Build-ing adjacent to the Air Park, the Greenwood Military Avia-tion Museum held its an-nual volunteer appreciation luncheon. In attendance were many of the 70 regular museum volunteers and representatives of several 14 Wing Greenwood sections.
Museum society presi-dent Brian Handley spoke about the successful year the museum has had, and the exciting events coming up. He extended thanks, on behalf of the society, to various wing agencies which provided great support to the GMAM’s numerous projects over the past year, most notably Wing Construction Engineering for its work on the proposed extension and help with the Dakota’s concrete pads, and 14 Air Maintenance Squadron for work on the Argus and Da-
kota painting. Handley also made a special presentation to Lieutenant-Colonel Steve Chouinard of an engraved Aurora desk pen set, in rec-ognition of his invaluable support and cooperation as museum co-chairman. All wished Chouinard good luck in his new posting to Washington.
Society chairman Ian Pat-rick thanked volunteers, and reiterated their critical sup-port over the years as the reason for the museum’s success. He added his thanks for the tremendous support from the wing’s staff and volunteers, and encouraged young people to become and remain volunteers. Without the ongoing support from so many areas, the museum would not have the world-class exhibition it does. Patrick also thanked those who attended the funerals of museum volunteers Ed Dodd and Brian Troniak, and reported on the hospitaliza-tion of volunteer Harold Ruff.

wide volunteers, but oversee-ing all base fundraising proj-ects. The new structure has already started 2012 off with a bang: $22,000 was raised in June by base teams for the Middleton Relay for Life event.
Major Joe Fewer chairs the Wing Charities committee, and knows just how many people and how much work goes into the various fundrais-ing initiatives, big and small. And, it never stops.
“People give - here on the base and in the community, and they get involved as vol-unteers,” Fewer said.
On the very day of this event, the Military Police were hosting their own golf tourna-ment for the MP Blind Fund, an event that wasn’t included in the $90,000 total from last year – but will be included in the next cheque.
“We’re going to capture
what 14 Wing, it’s units and people do,” Fewer said. “We had an awesome year last year, and we’ll hopefully raise more money, and support more partnerships, next year.”
Combined Charities has, in the past, given funds to a wide array of organizations, from health research and support programs to animal rescue programs to sports and youth organizations – and more.
K ings West MLA Leo Glavine was at the June 27 event and said 14 Wing’s efforts are “welcome – and deeply appreciated.
“14 Wing is not just about having its members live in our neighbouring communities, but vitally integrate them-selves into the community,” he said. “Along with dollars, it fosters a relationship because its people are not just here because of the base. They’re valuable parts of the com-munity.”

The ground for the Aghani-stan Repatriation Memorial was dedicated May 31 at Bain Park, Trenton, and construc-tion began June 18 with a sod-turning ceremony. The memorial is scheduled for completion before Remem-brance Day.
The Trenton city park is lo-cated directly off the Highway of Heroes, which leads from Trenton to Toronto (Highway 401); it overlooks the Bay of Quinte, not far from 8 Wing Trenton.
The memorial “is meant to be an area of refl ection and for

L’ imposant chèque de 90 000 $ remis à « notre communauté » est le résultat de toutes les fructueuses col-lectes de fonds effectuées par le personnel de la 14e Escadre Greenwood.
Le 27 juin, au quartier géné-ral de l’Escadre, le comman-dant de cette dernière, le Co-lonel Jim Irvine, a annoncé les résultats des efforts déployés par la base du 1er juin 2011 à la fi n de mai 2012 au profi t des œuvres de bienfaisance de l’Escadre, en présence des bénévoles qui s’inves-tissent dans ces œuvres et de représentants invités des organismes bénéfi ciaires des fonds recueillis.
« La 14e Escadre est ex-trêmement fière d’apporter son appui à la communauté locale », a déclaré le Colonel
Chèque aux œuvres de bienfaisance : preuve des liens qui unissent la base à la communauté
Irvine. « Nos militaires et civils sont connus pour leur géné-rosité et nous sommes très investis dans la communauté. Nos familles font beaucoup pour organiser des activités de collecte de fonds, car nous sommes des gens de cœur. », a-t-il ajouté.
Ainsi que l’a expliqué le Co-lonel Irvine, les 90 000 $ repré-sentent « ce que nous pensons avoir recueilli » pour cette pre-mière année; les responsables du programme des œuvres de bienfaisance ont tenté de recenser toutes les activités de collecte de fonds de la base, depuis les plus petites tenues ici et là dans des bureaux et unités jusqu’aux plus offi cielles gérées par des comités, en passant par les vendredis en tenue décontractée.
« Nous savons que dans des bureaux des gens recueillent les bouteilles de soda vides; cela se fait à longueur de
temps, mais voulions avoir une idée plus précise de ce qu’est au juste la contribution de notre communauté militaire. »
Nos œuvres de bienfai-sance s’appelleront désormais « œuvres de bienfaisance de l’Escadre ». Elles continu-eront d’être gérées par des bénévoles, mais regrouperont l’ensemble des activités de collecte de fonds de la base. Cette nouvelle structure a déjà démarré en force pour 2012, 22 000 $ ayant été recueillis en juin par les équipes de la base qui ont participé au Relais pour la vie de Middleton.
C’est le Major Joe Fewer qui préside le comité des œuvres de bienfaisance de la base. On ne saurait dire exactement combien de gens et combien de travail sont investis dans les diverses activités de collecte de
fonds, grandes et modestes. Une chose est sûre : cela ne s’arrête jamais.
« Les gens font des dons, ici à la base et dans la com-munauté, et s’engagent aussi comme bénévoles », indique le Major Fewer.
Le jour-même de la remise du chèque, la police militaire tenait son tournoi de golf au profi t du Fonds de la police militaire pour les aveugles. Le produit de ce tournoi n’a donc pas été inclus dans le total de 90 000 $ de l’an dernier, mais il sera intégré au prochain chèque.
« Nous allons recenser tous les dons de la 14e Escadre, de ses unités et de ses gens. Nous avons obtenu des résultats for-midables l’an dernier et nous espérons recueillir encore plus d’argent et soutenir davantage
de partenaires l’an prochain », a ajouté le Major Fewer.
Par le passé, les œuvres de bienfaisance ont permis d’aider tout un éventail d’organisations dans des domaines allant de la recherche sur la santé et les programmes de soutien en passant par le sauvetage d’animaux ainsi que les sports et les programmes destinés à la jeunesse.
Le député provincial de Kings West, Leo Glavine, a assisté à la remise du chèque
le 27 juin. Comme il l’a déclaré, les efforts de la 14e Escadre « sont utiles et vivement ap-préciés ». « Non seulement, a-t-il ajouté, les membres de la 14e Escadre, vivent dans les localités avoisinantes, mais ils sont intégrés de manière vitale à la communauté locale. Et au-delà de l’argent recueilli, c’est une relation qui s’établit, car ces gens ne sont pas là simplement en raison de la base, ils sont des éléments précieux de la communauté.»

The radio sets, receivers, antennae and wires….
“Young people look at it – are
we old?” asks HAM radio enthu-siast Brian DeAthe.
“Not really!”Members of the Greenwood
Amateur Radio Club set up shop in the CANEX Mall for a 24-hour
international competition June 23 and 24. The goal: prove they can operate a state-of-the-art, reliable and effective commu-nications hub, and then make as many contacts as possible in
24 hours.Thousands of HAM radio
operators across North America take part in the Amateur Radio Relay League’s fi eld day. Clubs earn points for the number of contacts they make, and whether they can attract visitors, media and politicians to watch them in action.
“We had a contact in Croatia early on,” club president Eric Smith said about three hours in to the challenge – as wives were arriving with covered potluck dishes to stoke the operators for the evening ahead.
Smith has been a amateur radio enthusiast for 30 years.
“I just like to talk – and we talk around the world,” Smith says.
“My old boss here at the base was an amateur radio guy, and they had a radio up in the old tower at Hangar 1.”
In fact, likely three-quarters of the Greenwood club is ex-military or a former Greenwood civilian worker. There are about 20 members, from Aylesford to Middleton, and they meet every week for club business and radio time.
But it’s not all talk. The club is actually an important link in Kings and Annapolis counties’

emergency planning. With a repeater on the North Mountain and experienced operators, the club could have the fi nal word in any emergency communica-tions.
“When a system shuts down with overload, or power fail-ures,” we could set up at a hospital, the main emergency centre, here at the base – and our radios work,” Smith says.
Small grants have allowed the club to upgrade equipment and buy a generator, ensuring they can be invaluable during a disaster, weather emergency or other major incident. Volunteers meet regularly with emergency planners and test equipment and procedures.
Hard to believe computers, cellphones and landlines could all be that unavailable – but radio operators have seen it happen, and already know where they technology for many commu-nications systems came from: HAM radios.
“In the good old days,” DeAthe begins, “people couldn’t find each other on the frequencies. They’d just dial until they did. Someone thought they’d play music for a bit before their mes-sage so people could fi nd them.
Then, music and advertising and commercial radio started.”
Email? Using satel l i tes, “moon bounce” and the inter-national space station, radio operators have been able to send digital messages for years.
Skype? You can scan a pic-ture and send it through radio waves to be downloaded any-where in the world through slow scan TV.
Text messaging? There are people chatting internation-ally using radio-based digital signals.
“If conditions are right, you can reach anywhere in the world,” Smith says.

Ch r i s t ophe r Know les started dance classes when he was two years old in Mi-ramichi, New Brunswick. At age 7 he was moved up to the competitive team of Spot-lights and Sequins. The team competed each year at many competitions in New Bruns-wick and Nova Scotia and won numerous awards and honors. At age 11, Christopher started choreographing his own solos and performing them at com-petitions where he took many top honors. He was also a stu-dent teacher for many years with his Miramichi team. In 2007, Christopher was given the opportunity to dance and teach in Bathurst for the team Degrace Diamond Dance
would like to welcome our new head choreographer Christopher Knowles
under the direction of Carol Degrace. He jumped at this opportunity to create chore-ography for a team. The team was very successful at com-petitions in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec. At a 5678 Showtime competition in New Brunswick, Chris was chosen to attend the Dance World Cup Tour in London, England which he attended for a week in August 2008. He had the honour of taking a week of training at the famous Pineapple Dance Studios in the heart of London, as well as training with the cast of Wicked the musical. The very next year Chris was chosen
again for the Dance World Cup Tour, this time in Paris, France. In June of 2010 he competed at the 5678 Show-time Dance World Cup in Montreal, Quebec with 2 of his solos. Dancers from all over the world competed at this event. Representing Canada, Chris was awarded fi rst place. In 2010, he was also awarded highest score and top chore-ography at Millennium Dance Festival for his solo work. Over the years he has had the op-portunity to work with and take classes from some wonderful choreographers such as Mia Michaels, Nico Archambault and TOKYO and many more, but he learned and absorbed from everyone he ever took classes from. As much as Christopher loves performing, creating his own choreography and watching it come to life is equally as fufi lling. He brings passion, technique and energy to all his creations. The big-gest lesson he loves to leave with students while teaching is just dance from your heart, be
yourself, have fun and never let go of your true passions. Christopher is returning to Nova Scotia from Toronto, On-tario from where he was study-ing at George Brown College. He is enrolled in the Dance Studies program. The two year program has helped him gain the knowledge he knows today in dance. Studying hard in Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Con-tact Modern, Composition, Pas De Deux, Dance Studies, Anatomy, English, Vocal and Acting. Dance is his life and he is now ready to share all he knows with the world of others who share the same love.

Canadian Forces personnel “do more than their share” for Canada, and Canadian Blood Services knows it.
14 Wing Greenwood was recently acknowledged as a distinguished Partner for Life by CBS, in recognition of several years’ worth of rolling up its sleeve. Partner for Life allows groups and organizations to register blood donors en masse, and track regular donations as a point of pride. 14 Wing has over 40 registered members, who have
made close to 250 donations since 2010.
“That’s great,” says Paul Doucette of CBS in Halifax. “Partners for Life is now re-sponsible for one in fi ve dona-tions across the country, and it’s become a real team build-ing initiative for members.
“That spirit of camaraderie and helping others Canadian Forces’ members have, that’s exactly why we do so well in Greenwood.”
Community recreat ion worker Eric MacKenzie at-tended a May recognition event in Greenwich, hosted by CBS to recognize signifi -
cant milestone donations by individuals and groups. MacK-enzie organizes the four collec-tion clinics in Greenwood and Kingston, putting work parties together through 14 Wing sections to help CBS load and unload equipment during their two-day visits, and encourag-ing donors to turn out.
“We’re always looking for people, and we generally see about 200 every time,” he says.
At the recognition event, he acknowledged his own efforts have earned a 10-donation pin – and counting.
“I rolled up my sleeves for the fi rst time in Grade 12 as
a thank-you to the gracious donors who helped save both my life, and my mother’s life, when I was born three months early,” he said.
Doucette says the Partner for Life program has been a huge success for CBS, with registered donors part of a regular, 56 or 112 day dona-tion schedule.
“It’s free, it’s an experience and, if you’ve done it more than two or three times, you’ve talked to the nurses, you know your donation goes to hospi-tals. Once you know all that, you know and can’t drive by.
“Everyone wins.”

Le personnel des Forces canadiennes « fait plus que sa part » pour le Canada, et la Société canadienne du sang (SCS) le sait.
L a 1 4 e E s c a d r e d e Greenwood a récemment été reconnue en tant que Parte-naire pour la vie par la Société canadienne du sang pour sa participation aux cliniques de
Une collecte de sang récompenséecollecte de sang qui remonte à plusieurs années. Le pro-gramme Partenaires pour la vie permet aux groupes et aux organisations d’inscrire des donneurs de sang en tant que groupe et de tirer fi erté des dons réguliers de ses membres. La 14e Escadre compte plus de 40 membres inscrits qui ont fait près de 250 dons depuis 2010. « C’est formidable, dit Paul Doucette de la SCS à Halifax. Les Parte-
naires pour la vie contribuent aujourd’hui à un don sur cinq dans l’ensemble du pays, et le programme contribue réellement à créer un esprit d’équipe chez les membres ». « Cet esprit de camaraderie et d’entraide qui anime les mem-bres des Forces canadiennes est exactement la raison pour laquelle nous réussissons si bien à Greenwood ».
L’animateur de loisirs com-munautaires Eric MacKenzie a assisté en mai à l’activité de reconnaissance à Greenwood
qu’avait organisé la SCS pour souligner les jalons impor-tants dans le nombre de dons par des personnes ou des groupes. M. MacKenzie or-ganise quatre cliniques de collecte de sang par année à Greenwood et Kingston, forme des équipes dans les diverses sections de la 14e Escadre pour aider la SCS à charger et décharger l’équi-pement durant ses visites de deux jours, et encourage les donneurs à se présenter aux cliniques.
« Nous sommes toujours à la recherche de donneurs et nous en voyons généralement 200 à chaque fois », dit-il. Lors de l’activité de recon-naissance, il a mentionné ses propres efforts qui lui ont valu une épinglette de dix dons – et plus.
« J’ai donné du sang pour la première fois en 12e année pour remercier les généreux donneurs qui ont contribué à me sauver la vie et à sauver la vie de ma mère lorsque je suis né trois mois prématurément », a-t-il précisé. Selon M. Dou-
cette, le programme Partenai-res pour la vie constitue un énorme succès pour la SCS grâce aux donneurs inscrits qui font des dons suivant un calendrier régulier de 56 ou 112 jours.
« C’est gratuit, c’est une expérience, et, si vous avez donné du sang plus de deux ou trois fois, vous avez parlé aux infi rmières et vous savez que votre don est remis aux hôpitaux. Une fois que vous savez tout cela, vous ne vou-lez pas passer votre tour. Tout le monde y gagne. »
“Work party requests are approved by our chain of command because of the vital importance and value of supporting this worthy cause,” Eric MacKenzie says of 14 Wing Greenwood’s participation in Canadian Blood Services’ clinics. Submitted

Captain Rob Scholte, an acoustic sensor offi cer instruc-tor at 404 (Long Range Patrol and Training) Squadron, re-cently reached a significant personal milestone.
On a routine “day at the of-fice,” Scholte found himself fl ying low over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean onboard the CP-140 Aurora, conducting training with his colleagues. The day marked Scholte’s 6,000th hour of fl ying onboard the Aurora.
Scholte’s path to 6,000 hours has been interesting and diverse. He initially joined the Canadian Forces as a Non-Commissioned Member (NCM) under the Youth Training Employment Program. Upon completion of Recruit School at CFB Cornwallis, he un-derwent his QL 3 Weapon Tech Air training at CFB Borden. He then transferred to air defense technician and was employed with NORAD at long range radar sites across the now defunct Pi-netree Line, from 1985 to 1988.
In 1988, Scholte remustered to airborne electronic sensor operator (AESOp), and his fl ying career began. Scholte under-went basic aircrew training at CFB Summerside, then complet-ed the CP-140 Aurora maritime operational aircrew training at 404 Squadron and attained his AESOp wings. Upon graduation, he was posted to 407 Squadron at 19 Wing Comox. During this time he participated in Opera-tion Sharpguard, established to enforce economic sanctions against Serbia-Monenegro and to enforce the UN sanctions in the former Yugoslavia. In 1997, he was posted to 405 Squadron, which provided him the opportunity to participate in three Fincastle competitions and numerous major exercises. In 2001, while participating in the Fincastle Competition in Australia, he became one of only 40 individuals in the history of Canadian Maritime Patrol to circumnavigate the world in a
404 Squadron instructor logs 6,000 flight hoursmaritime-based aircraft.
In 2001, Scholte was selected for the Commissioning from the Ranks Program for an occupa-tional transfer to navigator (now known as air combat systems offi cer). He successfully com-pleted the Basic Offi cer Training Program at St-Jean, Quebec and occupation training at Ca-nadian Forces Air Navigation School (now 1 Canadian Forces Flying Training School) at 17 Wing Winnipeg. In December 2004, Scholte was presented his navigator wings and returned to 405 Squadron. He completed another Maritime Operational Aircrew Training (MOAT) course at 404 Squadron as an acoustics sensor offi cer.
In 2009, Scholte was de-ployed to South-West Asia with the Air Mapping Unit to participate in Op Applanix. This operation, comprised of Long Range Patrol aircrew and tech-nicians from 14 Wing and 19 Wing, were tasked to provide
high quality images using a state-of-the-art Applanix cam-era, fi tted to the CP-140 Aurora. These images, providing up-dated geographical and struc-tural information, were used by ground force commanders in Afghanistan. In 2011,he de-ployed to NAS Sigonella, Italy to take part in Op Mobile, the Canadian Forces’ participation in Op UNIFIED PROTECTOR, the NATO-led effort to impose an arms embargo and no-fl y zone to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas in Libya.
Upon returning to Green-wood, he was posted to 404 (Long Range Patrol & Training) Squadron as an instructor. He now provides instruction for the Maritime Operational Aircrew Training course and is able to pass his experience on to new acoustic sensor offi cers.
With airframe upgrades and other changes within the Long Range Patrol community, 6,000 hours is rarely achieved.
Captain Rob Scholte, an acoustic sensor officer at 404 (Long Range Patrol & Training) Squadron, has recently logged 6,000 hours onboard the CP140 Aurora.

CFB Greenwood takes on a younger mindset this week, as the fi rst over 1,100 expected Cadets begin their
experience at Summer Training Centre.
Staff Cadets arrived on base June 23, with more arriving July 1. July 11 is the opening ceremony for the STC program. Cadets have
been spending summer time in Greenwood since the late 1950s.
“This is my fi rst summer here,” says Sub-Lieutenant John Brannen, a Reserve member of the Royal Cana-
dian Navy with seven years of Sea Cadet experience under his belt, in Greenwood as the camp’s public affairs offi cer. “I’m looking forward to a successful summer, and interacting with family and friends so they know their son and daughter is
here having a great time, they’ll come home and what they’ve learned will spill over with their units, their schools and communities.”
Cadets ages 12 to 18 are part of a national program, sponsored by the Canadian Forces and three civilian leagues representing the Army, Navy and Air Force. Youth are provided uni-forms, training opportuni-ties and athletic and social events, including summer training camp.
Brannen says the two-week general training camps – there are five flights planned in Greenwood this summer – offer a broad introduction to the Cadet program. About 300 youth will take part. There are also specialized programs in drill, military band, wil-derness training, fl ying and gliding as well. Some camps last as long as six weeks.
“When you think of weeks of basic drill, well, those kids know they’re coming to work hard, there is a lot of self-discipline and challenge for themselves to see how far they can go.”
Cadets will l ikely see physical training every day, and there are early morn-ings, busy schedules and military expectations to live up to. Once the day is done, though, kids will be kids.
“The social component of camp, I think, is the most important – meeting people, learning along the way. There is lots of time for rec-reational activities, sports, meeting with friends,” says Brannen – and the kids’ cellphones and electronic gadgets can come back out.
“Our audience are the youth, and we have to be on the cutting edge to maintain a connection with the kids,” Brannen says. The Cadets organization puts a lot of
time and effort into keeping current, with lots of info and photos spread around Face-book, Twitter and Youtube.
With this many youth expected on base, the STC has a lot to be ready for: quarters, clothing and laun-dry, meals, transportation, schedules, gym time….
“It’s a busy turnover, and defi nitely a challenge. But, everyone is where they need to be – we tip our hats to the logistics and supply people.”
Brannen says there is also great appreciation to 14 Wing Greenwood itself, as all of this takes place in and around base facilities and operations.
“We couldn’t do camp here on our own. We have the security of knowing we’re on a base with Military Police, fi re services, a Mess and the gym…. There are a lot of players to make sure everything happens.
“We recognize we’re on a Canadian Forces base with personnel who have served all over the world.”
When the Cadets hit the streets for summer car washes and other fundrais-ers, their goal is to turn money into thanks for those personnel: last year, dozens of boxes of goodies were put together for deployed CF members by the end of the summer.
There are the “typical” issues at camp expected with youth, but Brannen says clear perimeters and expectations ensure Cadets are safe, and present them-selves well on base and in the community on out trips. When issues do come up, it’s often a chance for the camp’s staff Cadets to learn their own lessons.
“Some of these people have been here for years, and handling the program and the youth instills in them a sense of pride and con-fi dence to lead. Problems are an opportunity for our staff Cadets to show some leadership and work on their approach. We support and guide them, and they don’t usually disappoint.”
Cadets are coming!Summer influx of youngest base population settling in
Greenwood staff Cadets pressed their uniforms and shined their boots for inspection. Part of being able to lead, instruct and supervise is looking sharp yourself! Sub-Lieutenant J.Brannen

July 1, 45 people partici-pated in the Canada Day mixed scramble at the Greenwood Golf Club.
Players were all put on “pro-vincial” teams and there was one special team of “Capers.” It was interesting to see how many players came out with costumes, including provincial fl ags and T-shirts, to indicate who they were representing. The team from Newfoundland was playing Newfi e music, one Caper was wearing a kilt, Jen Poirier had a buffalo sewn on her shirt and fl ags were fl ying everywhere. It was a great day for everyone.
Players started off with breakfast at the club, then the golf and, when all the golfers were back in, we had strawber-ries and ice cream and Canada Day cake (Glen and Annie Paul were celebrating their 23rd anniversary as well, so there was a second special cake). Doug Carpenter explained to all present the signifi cance of the national fl ag hanging on the wall: it was given to Phil Allen by his son-in-law, one of the fl ags once raised and lowered in Afghanistan for our fallen sol-diers. We all joined in singing
O Canada. How privileged we are to live in this great country.
The winning team was Sas-katchewan - Betty and Dean Saltzman, Paul McKeigan and Gail Croucher. Tied for second were British Columbia - Gerry McGarry, Wanda Moyer, Mike Logan and Dave Adams - and New Brunswick - Doug Carpen-ter, Frank Croucher, Irma Rains and Steve Greenwood. The most honest score keepers was Prince Edward Island - Sheila Johnson, Charlie and Audrey Costin and Phil Allen.
The best costume was won by Jen Poirier (and her mom, who cut out the shape of a buf-falo and sewed it on a T-shirt). A great idea and great spirit.
It was fun to have a couple of our junior men out with us for the day. I hear they enjoyed it as well.
Thanks to Marcel Levesque for making some carved wood-en prizes.
Thanks to Gerry McGarry for taking the pictures, Wanda Moyer for making a CD of pictures from Canada Day 2011 and to Sandy and Gail for helping with registration, and to everyone who helped to decorate. Thanks everyone for making it such a fun way to celebrate Canada Day.

Western Valley Football is preparing for its fourth sea-son offering football to Valley boys and girls, ages eight to 14, from Berwick through Annapolis County. The sea-son runs in September and October.
There will be a summer day camp July 30 to August 10 (1 p.m. to 4 p.m.) at Rotary Park in Middleton. This gives local kids a chance to become familiar with the sport under
A Royal Canadian Navy sailor, Master Seaman Steven Gallant, is hitting the road on a unique motorcycle adventure.
Over a 42-day period, he will travel 20,000 kilometres on his motorcycle as he cir-
Football summer, fall fun comingnon-competitive conditions. The fi rst week is for younger players; the second week for players up to 16 years old. The fee is $100, all gear included.
Football attracts the inter-est of many kids because of the physical activity and the opportunity for different body types needed to make up the entire team: some positions require size, but not neces-sarily speed, while others are
more suited to speedy, slen-der players. Football is truly a sport for everyone, and females can compete well at these levels also. Bigger kids are especially welcome as offensive and defensive linemen.
Western Valley stresses fun and sportsmanship, and players learn the importance of team and individual dis-cipline.
Football is one of the most
reasonable sports for kids in terms of cost: all the gear is provided. In the last two years, Western Valley has purchased all new equip-ment, this year providing new, state-of-the-art helmets. Fees run from $150 to $200 for the fall season.
For information on Western Valley Football fun – the fall season and summer camp – call 825-6500 or email [email protected].

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, the week may begin a little off-kilter, but you’ll find that by Wednesday or Thursday, things turn around significantly. A couple of opportunities for socialization arise.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Take inventory of your life this week, Taurus, and make the necessary tweaks to align you with your primary goals. Take a cue from someone organized.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you’re inspired to do something creative. Narrow down the possibilities. Maybe you want to paint indoors or take on a new craft hobby. Either way you’ll fi nd success.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Even the most organized people can get tripped up once in a while, Cancer. This week you may be unable to keep track of things. Keep your cool, and you will get it under control.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Take control of a situation that arises, Leo, because right now it seems no one else is capable of handling the situation. You may prove to be an excellent leader.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Infl uential people will be moving in your social circles, Virgo. Failure to introduce yourself and network could lead to setbacks in your employment goals.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Once the excitement of an event wears off, Libra, you may be left fl oundering for a little while. Don’t wallow in boredom. Get started on a new project. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Sometimes much more can be said by remaining quiet that actually speaking, Scorpio. Keep this in mind when you are socializing with new people.SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21It can sometimes feel lonely at the top, Sagittarius. Now that you’ve acquired many of the things you wanted, the resulting feelings may not be what you thought.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Now may be the time to get serious about your efforts to fi nd a new job, Capricorn. Start doing the legwork and get your name out to new people as much as you can.AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Although you’re a do-it-yourself person by na ture , Aquar ius , sometimes letting someone get the job done frees you up for more important projects. You also get a needed break.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, you can’t seem to keep your mind on the thing at hand. Your wandering thoughts may put you in tune with a better idea.

Cette semaine a été un grand succès!
Durant la première journée, les enfants ont eu le plaisir de faire des bricolages, vis-iter le nouveau parc dans le matin et ensuite aller nager dans la piscine extérieure. Les campeurs ont rencontré beaucoup de nouveaux amis au camp français, camp de jour et camp de sports. Durant
The 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre’s day camp programs started off summer July 3.
Day campers headed out for a trip to Sobeys for a tour of the store, snacked on some healthy food and even got to pet a mon-ster-sized lobster. Later in the week, campers made jewelry and pictures out of noodles, and put their chef skills to the test when they made their own yummy pizzas and ice cream treats. Each day we cooled off with a visit to the outdoor pool. This week, day campers will be making sea themed crafts and venturing to Pirates Cove in Dartmouth!
les autres jours de la semaine, ils ont fabriqué leur propre pizza miniature, de la mousse au chocolat avec des fraises et ils ont reçu le grand tour de Sobeys.
Tout le monde s’est amusé cette semaine et ont hâte pour la deuxième semaine: « Des aventures de pirates! » Alors soyez prêts pour de l’amusement et de l’aventure.
Sports camp youth started summer with a focus on soc-cer, practicing their skills and learning some new ones. We had a few games of World Cup, and a shoot-out. We fi nished up the week with a tournament and saw lots of great goals and saves. We got to take advantage of the sun and tried out the new playground, and campers cooled off in the pool each day and freezies. Sports campers, dust off your hockey sticks: this week is hockey, with a day of lacrosse added in. Don’t forget about the big trip to Pirates Cove in Dartmouth Friday with the day campers.
Sporty, cookin’ kids get day camps off to a great start

The Annapolis Mess is “goin’ country,” classic style, September 15.
The Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame will fete
Stand up for countryGreenwood Mess to host N.S. music event
Scott Fox and Floyd Spicer, reps from the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame, were scouting Greenwood recently, in preparation for the September 2012 induction ceremony to be held at the base’s Annapolis Mess. For more on the group and nominees, visit www.nscmf.com.S.Keddy
its own in Greenwood this fall“Here in the Valley, there’s
a large interest here for this music and this event, and the hall of fame wants to broaden interest in the association and let people see who we are,” says Scott Fox, a hall of fame
board member.“In Greenwood, we’re trying
to raise the bar. We expect a a full house this year.”
Fox and hall of fame pres-ident – and past inductee himself – Floyd Spicer were in Greenwood recently to
check the facility and set some plans in place for the dinner and show that make up the induction.
On the 2012 induction roster are some pretty well-known Nova Scotia names. Top of the list is Anne Murray, who started her career at a young age on Nova Scotia classic country stages, including the Sing Along Jubilee.
“She never considered her-self a country singer – she was a singer, but she did have a few country albums,” Spicer says.
Surprisingly, Murray has not yet been inducted into the hall of fame, something not so surprising when you consider all the nominations are sub-mitted by the public, and who would not have thought she’d been long recognized.
“She won’t be here for the ceremony, but she knows and she’s pleased to be nomi-nated.”
Bill Hewy of Truro is a semi-professional vocalist who picked up his fi rst guitar at age eight and has since been a part of many shows, recordings and musical milestones in the province.
Paul Moulaison is a Yar-mouth-area instrumentalist, a guitar player known across Nova Scotia.
Jo-Ann Newman will be an honourary inductee: she
wasn’t born in Nova Scotia, but she has lived and performed here all her life. She’s also a member of the hall of fame board – and Spicer’s wife.
“She was nominated – and it’s deserved,” Spicer says. “She and her sister recorded back in 1974 and did very well with their album, and spent a year at the Grand Ole Opry.”
Inductees have the opportu-
nity to speak at the ceremony, but the likely 300-plus crowd is looking forward more to a half-hour performance each has been invited to present.
“We’re trying to honour those who have helped keep country music alive and going in Nova Scotia,” Spicer says. “I grew up on it, and Nova Scotia has really been, artistically, prolifi c.”
