MSE Safety CornerBy: MCpl Macdonald, MSE

SafetySharing the roadOnce again the weather has

turned nice outside. Now it istime to remember that pedes-trians and vehicles will onceagain be sharing the roadsmore frequently. Many peo-ple will hit the streets andsidewalks in the local area andaround the base to go run-ning, jogging and marching.

It is especially noticeableheading out towards the basegolf course. There are manypeople using this road forphysical activity and now thegolf course on the base isopen, the vehicle traffic hasincreased.

The 14 Wing Mobile SupportEquipment (MSE) Sectionwould like to provide some tipsthat drivers and pedestriansshould follow:

Pedestrians:• Obey the rules of the road:

cross at intersections or inpedestrian safety zones.

• Be vigilant at both intersec-tion and non-intersection lo-cations, especially in urbanareas.

• Never run into the roadwayfrom behind stopped orparked vehicles.

• Walk against traffic alongroadsides without sidewalks

or on rural roadways.• Wear bright or reflective

clothing when walking, es-pecially at night.

• Never assume that motoristswill yield, even if you havethe right-of-way.Motorists:

• Always be on the lookout forand yield to vulnerable roadusers, even if they don’t havethe right-of-way.

• Always obey traffic signalsand control signs.

• Pay particular attention toyounger children playing onstreets and to senior citizens

crossing at intersections.• Pay particular attention to

workers in temporary workzones.

• Be prepared for vulnerableroad users to appear unex-pectedly at both intersectionand non-intersection loca-tions, on both urban and ru-ral roadways.Motorists travelling on or off

the base are reminded to slowdown and yield the right-of-wayto all pedestrians and march-ing troops on the roads.

The 14 MSE Safety staff wishall a safe and happy summer.

PSP Corner

The 14 Wing Fitness andSports Center is already heldin high regard in both the mili-tary and civilian communities.Its open lobby concept, raisedrunning track, squash courts,fitness and massage therapyrooms, 25 meter eight lanepool, kiddie pool andwaterslide mark it as the hubof fitness and wellness in theAnnapolis Valley.

The crowning jewel in theFacility Improvement Plan isthe Fitness and SportsCenter ’s new gym floor.Planted at center court, remi-niscent of the CanadianLoonie buried at center iceduring the hockey final of the2002 Olympics, is a Centen-nial of Flight memorial coinwhich will memorialize theopening of the new floor and100 years of powered flight inCanada. The installation ofthis floor involved a companywhose credits include instal-lation of the basketball court

for the Utah Jazz of the Na-tional Basketball Association.We feel that any design ca-pable of sustaining the healthand wellness of seven foot300 pound basketball playersshould most certainly meetthe varied needs of our mili-tary and community custom-ers. The long term health im-plications of conducting oursports and fitness programson a forgiving wooden floorwith underlay will be signifi-cant with a tangible reductionin sports injury and chronicback, hip and knee problems.

The Fitness and SportsCenter strength and condition-ing and weight rooms havebeen modernized and tailoredto meet the needs of our visi-tors. The squash courts areoutstanding and massagetherapy is available on site.New lighting in the pool willbrighten an already brilliantaquatic facility which is hometo extensive military and fam-ily programs. A long and suc-

cessful partnership with theGreenwood Dolphins SwimClub has been captured andcelebrated through the estab-lishment of an aestheticallybeautiful polished metal dol-phin caricature sign on the fa-cilities interior wall, crafted byValley resident Marshall Ennis.

Membership in the 14 WingGreenwood Community Rec-reation Association has ben-efits that extend beyond thewonderful facilities. We havea campground at Lake Pleas-ant, a Horse and Riding Clubnear the Wing, an 18 hole golfcourse and an outstandingrecreation program with nu-merous clubs one can joinranging from archery to woodhobby.

Jim Luddington, Service Manager for Canadian TireGreenwood says between rain, bugs, stones and sun,there are many elements out there that can causedamage to vehicles, resulting in premature rustingwhich ultimately affects the life of a car. Theautomotive team at Greenwood Canadian Tire hasa few suggestions on how to protectthe car against the elements and increase its longevity.• A front-end cover, also known as a bra, protects the

entire front end of the car againststone chips and bugs.

Choose one made withbreathable vinyl to pro-tect against fading orclouding and keep thecar’s finish lookingnew.

• CarFlector, a hard acrylic piece that protects the fullwidth of the hood of the car by deflecting bugs andstones, can be easily installed with no drilling.

• To bring fresh air in, while keeping the damagingeffects of rain out, an acrylic window vent visor isself adhesive and easy to install. The fact that itreduces wind noise is also a definite plus for driversand passengers alike.

• Designed specifically for each vehicle, a grille guardis perfect for SUV and truck drivers wishing to pro-tect the headlights and grille areas of the vehiclefrom many things including animals and treebranches. In addition to protecting the front end ofthe vehicle, grille guards help to dress it up.

Taking the time to customize and protect your carnow will help cut down on repair and maintenancecosts in the long run.

By: Patrick Giffin19 May 09In Kingston, Annette

Bourgeois saw a bird,approximately the size of anAmerican Goldfinch, with agreenish/yellow body and agrey looking throat andhead. It ignored the seedsthat other birds were takingfrom feeders and from theground; instead it appearedto be investigating anunoccupied Nest Box.Referring to, “Birds of NorthAmerica”, a Golden FieldGuide, Annette thought thisindividual was most like aConnecticut Warbleralthough she had notnoticed an eye-ring; thisspecies would beconsidered a very raresighting for NS. Wediscussed the possibility ofit being a Mourning Warbler:without further details weleft it at that. Referring to theMourning Warbler, RichardStern commented; “We getthem in thick, tangled, 2ndgrowth, bushy areas on the

N. Mountain, e.g. at Baxter’sHarbor , and Blomidon Prov.Park. They are usually oneof the latest Spring migrantsto arrive. They generallystay low, and skulk, and arehard to see.” Perhaps thisindividual was investigatingthe nest box and area insearch of insects which areits preferred food. Aftercapturing an insect theMourning Warbler removesits wings and legs, thenswallows the body whole!Bug Sushi!

In woodland near his cot-tage at Trout Lake, GeraldKeil was startled when a largebird took off at very closerange. At the base of a tree,near the water’s edge, he dis-covered a grassy, nest linedwith feathers and down, con-taining 10, large, white, eggslarger than a domestic, hen’segg. Based on nest location,number, size and colour ofthe eggs, the size and colourof the departing bird we ex-pect Gerald has discovereda nest belonging to a Canada

Goose. UFN surveillance willbe at long range, with bin-oculars. Recently, Barbaraand I have had the pleasureof watching a Canada Goosefamily, with 6 offspring atArthur Uhlman’s pond.

Tony Chaulk’s NSMCcount day highlights were:Rose-breasted Grosbeak,male, Ruby-throated Hum-mingbird, Tree Swallow andPurple Finch. NSMC Coordi-nator, Sheila Hulford re-ported, “Very few birds ofprey were seen: 1 Bald Ea-gle, a Harrier, a Red-tailedhawk and a Sharpie. At theshore, 213 Black Scoters wereobserved, along with Com-mon Eiders and other scoters.As for warblers: Yellow, Yel-low-rumped, Chestnut-sided,Palm, Black-throated Green,Parula, Black and White,Nashville, Ovenbird, andNorthern Waterthrush. Therewere plenty of finches, spar-rows, one Northern Cardinal,one Bobolink, two RedCrossbills, a Rusty Blackbird,and 50 A. Robins on a

Nictaux driveway.”In Kingston, our

neighbours Ross and Jillarrived home at about 2230.In their headlights, in a treenear the end of theirdriveway, they saw a pair ofOwls. Ross returned to hisoffice to get a camera: a 10minute drive: the owls werenot disturbed by theirpresence or by the camera’sflash. The owl’s appeared tobe kissing. Bernard Forsytheadvised us that the “kissing”is part of the pair bondingexhibited by this specieswhich mate for life. It is alsopossible that the male couldhave been feeding the female.Nesting takes place this timeof year and the female will notleave the nest unless calledby her mate to receive foodthat he has obtained. Duringthe nesting phase and rearingof the offspring, the adult,male’s sole responsibility isto gather food for the entirefamily. Of 18 owl, nest boxes,monitored by Bernard, only5 have eggs: this is directly

related to the shortage offood resulting from the depthof snow this winter. Thefollowing day, in thesewoods, we saw a number ofNorthern Parula, Ovenbirdsand a female, Brown-headedCowbird. At our feeders wehad Red Crossbills, PurpleFinches, Rose BreastedGrosbeaks, ChippingSparrows, a White-throatedSparrow and CommonGrackles.

In Middleton, at AdoraParson’s feeders there were,male Northern Cardinal, m, f,R u b y - t h r o a t e dHummingbirds, a f, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and aRobin building a nest onHerb’s Ham Radio Antenna.Low power UFN.

Helene Van Doninck,DVM, at the Cobequid Wild-life Rehabilitation Centre re-ports, “CW is still with us butas I suspected the flightfeathers all dropped off of theinjured wing along with someskin. I need to grabher tomorrow to make sure

For the Birdsnone of the bone went withit. Otherwise she is eating upa storm and seems happy.”

From Trout Lake, TedKajdas reports: “Femalehummers have arrived. Righton schedule, one week afterthe males had staked outterritorial boundaries wehave 4f, 3m, hummers at camp.I suspect there may be morehowever they won’t stay stilllong enough. At one feederit appears that a maturefemale and I suspect lastyear’s sibling feed together.The two feeders on the eastside of camp are reserved forfemales only, while the othertwo on the south side are forthe male species. The male,Purple Finches are in fullcourting colours. It isinteresting to watch one maleperform his vaudeville dancefor a female friend at one ofour platform feeders. Seemsto me this ritual is alsoperformed by the humanspecies during their youngeryears. We are at 765-8688,[email protected]

Summer Day CampsJust Around the Corner!


By: Stela Susic, D Air PAParliamentarians took the

time to tip their hats to mem-bers of the Air Force on May12 as part of the third annualAir Force Appreciation Day.

With the help of SenatorJoseph Day, the Air ForceAssociation of Canada(AFAC), a non-profit organi-zation, arranged a tribute inthe Senate of Canada and areception on the Hill to rec-ognize the effort Air Forcepersonnel invest into ensur-ing peace and security on thenational and internationalstages.

Senator Day kicked off thetribute in the Senate cham-ber with a brief statement. “Itwas through great effort, per-severance and bravery thatthe Canadian Air Force wasable to develop into theproud organization that it istoday,” said Senator Day. “Itprovides many importantservices within Canada, in-cluding search and rescueoperations; military securitybackup for major events, andthe training of NATO person-nel. The Canadian Armed

Forces is also very active in-ternationally, including trans-porting military personnel,equipment and humanitariansupplies to many placesthroughout the world. It isalso active in leading partici-pation in NORAD and NATOmissions, including Afghani-stan.

Five Air Force members in-cluding Lieutenant-GeneralAngus Watt, Chief of the AirForce, were in attendanceduring the Senate tribute. “Itwas incredible,” said MajAndrew McCorquodale, oneof the Air Force members.“It’s a great honour to be rec-ognized like that.”

That evening, they andother Air Force personnelwalked down the marblefloors of the Hill’s CentreBlock on their way to a re-ception where senators andMembers of Parliament onceagain expressed their appre-ciation and support for AirForce work.

“I extend our sincere grati-tude to our country’s lead-ers, our country’s specialistsin the aerospace industry,

and our country’s finest inuniform. All of you haveplayed an outstanding role inshaping and preparing ourAir Force for today and to-morrow,” said AFAC’s Presi-dent John Melbourne.

“…It is important…to cel-ebrate the accomplishmentsof an organization, a nationalinstitution, and indeed, I feel,a national treasure,” addedChief of the Air Staff Lieu-tenant-General Angus Watt.“We have challenges…butwe also have a great team,good support from parliamen-tarians, our Minister, our gov-ernment and the people ofCanada.”

Member of Parliament andParliamentary Secretary tothe Minister of National De-fence, Laurie Hawn (Edmon-ton Centre), agreed, saying,“The job Air Force does isincredible. [It] is alive andwell, and doing what itscountry needs it to doaround the world. The AirForce is an intricate part ofwhat Canada is and whatCanada does; my hat is offto you.”

Les Forcescanadiennes sont aussi trèsactives dans le monde; ellestransportent par exemple dupersonnel militaire, del’équipement et des secourshumanitaires vers denombreux endroits. Ellesexercent également des rôlesde premier plan dans le cadrede missions du NORAD et del’OTAN, y compris en Af-ghanistan.

Cinq membres de la Forceaérienne, dont le Lieutenant-général Angus Watt, Chefd’état major de la Forceaérienne, étaient présentsdurant l’hommage rendu parle Sénat. « C’était incroyable», a indiqué le Maj AndrewMcCorquodale de la Forceaérienne. « J’avoue que c’esttout un honneur de recevoirune telle reconnaissance. »

Throughout the roundrobin, our team battledagainst former and currenttop CIS and former NationalTeam members to squeak ina 3rd place finish andearning a spot in the semifinals. Having previouslylost to the 2nd placeUniversity of Calgary Dinos,there was little doubt theguys would need to playexceptionally well for achance to make history andplay for Gold. In milddisbelief, the team foundthemselves up 2 sets aheadof a very strong Dino team,only to falter a bit to losethe 3rd. Outstandingpassing and outside hittingby Cpl Ivan Karin, 2Lt GordLee and the ever present CplJohn Ready flying out of theback row made kill after kill.Sensing a victory in the 4thset, team captain andveteran setter, Cplc DennisNoel, continued to chal-lenge the Dino’s block withsome excellent set selec-tions to middle players 2LtConor Murphy and Cpl EricSirois. Each time the teamseemed to be losing momen-tum, Libero, Capt GuillaumeTremblay would come upwith a spectacular dig, re-energizing everyone’sefforts. Huge support fromLt(N) Mike St Pierre, 2LtMatt Lorrain, OCdt BobbyHartzell and OCdt SimonDakin made it easy forCoaches Mr. Denis Gabouryand Capt Craig Johnston torest starters throughout thetournament. With history amere few points away, afinal push was all it took fora chance to play in theFinals and the guys werenot to be denied. A dreamwas now a reality.

The Sunday afternoonFinal would not go as wellhowever. With the additionof several players to theopponents’ roster not seenin round robin play, theCISM team was to fall in 3straight sets to a verystrong and experiencedAlberta Club team, whichconsisted of many of theCountry’s top players.Despite a somewhat dis-heartening finish, CoachDenis Gaboury was verypleased with everyone’stournament performance.“This is a historical moment

A Historical Moment for CISM Volleyballfor the CISM Men’s Volley-ball program”, said Denis. “Iam very proud of the Team.”This was indeed a proudmoment. For a group whocan only practice together afew times a year, a silvermedal at the prestigiousCanadian Open is anaccomplishment few teamsget to enjoy. While theteam has competed inProvincial and NationalChampionships since theearly 90’s, their best finishat a National tournamentwas 4th in Ottawa in 2002.

The team physiothera-pist, Capt Dan Trudel,should be equally proud.His treatment of some verysore athletes and a fewminor injuries was key toour player’s great perform-ance. Capt Trudel’s talentswere also put to good usetreating a few seriousinjuries to players fromother teams. Kudos to you,Dan. Special mention goesto the Volleyball Patron,BGen John Collin, fortaking the time out of hisvery busy schedule tosupport the team in Calgaryis equally warranted. Wesincerely appreciated yoursupport, Sir.

The Canadian Nationalswas but a stepping-stone inthis year’s schedule as theteam now prepares for the30th CISM World MilitaryVolleyball Championship.This year’s event will beheld in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil from 20 - 30 Jun 09.There are also plans for apre-tournament trainingcamp at the US MarineCorps Base in Cherry Point,North Carolina with ourAmerican CISM friends.
