The Canadian Forces isonce again in the publicspotlight as the topic of aseries set to run on theOutdoor Life Network.

Truth, Duty, Valour(TDV) profiles the men andwomen of the CanadianArmy, Navy, and Air Forceas they train and compete tobe the best.

For the series producer,Colin McKeown, it was anopportunity to give atten-tion to an organization thatgave him a 20-year navalcareer. McKeown’s TV fame

includes the OLN series“The New Fly Fisher”,which is now airing onCBC Country Canada.

“As a former member ofthe military, I was alwaysfrustrated with the way themedia often portrayed theCF and I was especially dis-appointed with the lack ofcoverage of important train-ing. So I began working onthe show concept after I gotthe fishing show started.”

Airing on January 12and 16 will be “MedicOperations.”

‘We travel to Borden,Ontario for the first everMedic Competition. Thisevent takes place over a con-centrated six-hour windowwith 15 medic teams fromacross Canada competing towin the trophy.

McKeown praised the CFfor its cooperation duringthe filming stage.

“They have been verycooperative. It is always dif-ficult for everyone when try-ing coordinate our involve-ment and the needs of themilitary - there are oftenclashes. But everyone has

been great at assisting us,”hestated. “The people at 8Wing and especially theCPC have been incrediblyhelpful. I think the first sea-son of TDV helped alleviateany doubts personnel hadabout who we are and thefact we want to portray themilitary in a positive light.

Basically we want to letCanadians know about allthe important work militarypersonnel do for them everyday of the year. The SARpeople at Trenton have beenparticularly helpful and ourhope is to come back later in2005 and do a show on theHercules community.”

1975 – The National President of the Royal Canadian Air ForceAssociation, Mr. WA Gryba, announced that a new Wing of theAssociation has been approved in Trenton effective 2 December 1974with Mr. George Whittle as its first Wing President. No 413 (AirForce City) Wing has established Wing quarters at 68 King Street,Trenton and the charter presentation will take place at an officialWing function early in 1975.

1985 – A non-stop direct flight from CFB Trenton to CFB Lahr isbeing planned by the City of Belleville and five travel agents fromBelleville. This is the third time that a chartered Friendship Flight hasbeen arranged to fly direct. The twinning of Belleville and Lahr is nowin its eleventh year and has received enthusiastic support from theCanadian Forces in Trenton and Lahr.

1995 – With the clear direction of the CF future structure somemonths away it is considered prudent to delay the implementation ofACMG by one year. This delay will give Air Command a chance toevaluate the forthcoming command, control and budget decisions andconsider potential alterations to the plans.

Have you violated yourNew Year’s resolutionsyet? If one of them wasto get financially fit in2005, you’ll definitelyhave more luck thanquitting tobacco orgetting lean, becauseit ’s so simple.

Here are three no-brainer mortgagestrategies to get youstarted on the path tofinancial f reedom.

( 1) Make yourmortgage tax-deductible.

Imagine - the abilityto deduct f rom theincome tax you pay theentire amount of yourmortgage interest,which can account for90 per cent or more of

your monthly payment.Sound too good to betrue? Hardly. For manypeople, this is unbeliev-ably simple.

That’s because mostCanadians with a housealso have some invest-ments, whether theyare mutual funds,bonds, GICs or justcash savings. In fact,statistics show thereare millions ofCanadians who have asmuch, or more, infinancial assets as theydo in mortgage debt. Isthis you?

If so, then take yourinvestments, cash themin and use the moneyto pay off your mort-gage. Now go to the

bank, get a new mort-gage against your housefor the same amount,and use the money tobuy back your financialinvestments. You stillhave a mortgage, youhave the same invest-ment portfolio, butsuddenly all of theinterest on your homeloan is tax deductible –because the proceeds ofthe loan were used tobuy income-producingassets.

(2) If you don’t havea mortgage, get one.

Whaaa? The dreamof every furry home-owner, when you rubhis tummy, is alwaysthe same – to becomemortgage-f ree. Butbesides the dubiouslogic of having all ofyour net worth lockedin one asset (that canbe quite illiquid attimes), a mortgage canbe your friend.

Building on the firstpoint above, if you canborrow against your

paid-off home toincrease your wealth,and the interest on theloan is deductible fromyour taxes, then whywouldn’t you do it?Instead of having$100,000 sitting inyour $300,000 mort-gage-less home, whynot take out a homeequity loan for a hun-dred grand and invest itin a blue chip mutualfund with a trackrecord of growing 5 percent or 7 per cent ayear?

Your wealth willaugment and every dol-lar of interest can bewritten off your taxableincome. You pay lesstax, you have more dis-posable income, andyour house is financinga growth portfolio.

(3) Put your mort-gage inside your RRSP.

Imagine if you heldyour own mortgage,and made monthly pay-ments to yourself,instead of the bank.

Well, this also isentirely possible!.

The tax rules allowyour RRSP to hold themortgage on yourhome. So, if you have awhack of cash in yourretirement plan, thenuse that to pay off theexisting mortgage onyour home. Now youhave effectively set upan RRSP mortgage,and you’re able to makethose payments toyourself.

There are rulesinvolved here, so your

mortgage rate has to beclose to market levels,and you’ ll need anindependent agent tohelp set the thing up.But the results can bedelicious – a $100,000mortgage can turn into$300,000 worth of pay-ments over a couple ofdecades. You pay offyour house and build afat little nest egg at thesame time. If only sexwere this much fun!

And you thoughtmortgages were boring.Shame on you.

(NC)-Maintaining ahealthy weight during thewinter is always a challengebecause Canadians tend tospend greater time indoorswhich often means eatingmore and moving aroundless.

But there are ways toenjoy good food during thewinter and avoid gainingweight. Here are a fewgeneral tips to keep inmind:

. Try to keep your rou-tine as consistent as possi-ble, including eating regu-lar meals around the sametime and setting asidesome time for exercise.More time inside can con-tribute to overeating andless physical activity, so beaware of patterns in yourroutine;

. Try not to skip mealswhich can lead to loweringyour metabolism, resultingin weight gain. Trying tomake up for indulgences by

skipping meals will alsodeprive you of the essentialnutrients and mineralsyour body needs for ener-gy;

. Try to limit your por-tions. Sticking to a handfulof each type of food willprevent you fromindulging in one that maybe too high in carbohy-drates or fat. An extra 100calories a day can lead to aweight gain of eightunwanted pounds a year;

. When snacking, try tofill up first on low fatoptions such as fruit andvegetables, which leavesless room for the higher fatoptions such as desserts,chocolates and rich dips;

. Have healthy snacksreadily available at home orto take to work, to avoidfilling up on cookies, chipsand fast-food lunches.More nutritious options tohave on-hand include: asalad, fruit, yogurt and

nuts;. Limit your alcohol

intake. Alcohol can addsignificant calories to yourday and contribute tounwanted weight gain.

Because our lifestyleschange during the wintermonths, so do our eatinghabits. Therefore, it isimportant to ensure yourbody is still receiving all theessential vitamins andminerals required. If youare worried that you arenot always able to consumenutrient dense foods, likefruit and vegetables, con-sider taking a multivitaminsupplement to provideyour body with the vita-mins and minerals it needson a daily basis.

Four old rules that still workSubmitted by Scott Burns

Fitness Coordinator

Whether you’re a novice exerciser or anexperienced one, here are a few rules toconsider on your next trip to the gym.

• No single program works foreveryone all the time…

There are a million experts outthere, but no one has the fail-safe recipethat works 100 per cent of the time.The best programs are a mix of stylesand philosophies, and anyone whoinsists there’s only one true path toexercise enlightenment—whether it’sTae Bo or Super Slow—is just plainwrong.

“On any new program, you’ll makegains during your first month or two,”You must remember that nothing worksforever. You have to expose your bodyto new methods, and that’s how youkeep making gains.

• Improvements must be incremen-tal…

Many new or returning exerciserssuffer from Superman syndrome. Theyrun three times one week, then go outthe next week and run 6 days. Or, fortheir second workout, they double theweights they used in their first. Soonthey’re felled by chronic injuries. Your

muscles may be strong enough to lift aweight or push you through a run, butyour connective tissues may not beready. The 10% RULE—NEVERINCREASE VOLUME, WEIGHT,DISTANCE, SPEED, or any othervariable more than 10 percent a week.Ignore the rule and you decrease activi-ty to a big, fat zero.

• Form comes first…No matter what type of exercise

you’re doing, perfect technique is thekey to safety and efficiency. “Especiallyas you grow older, you have to pay moreattention to your form. When you gethurt, your injuries take longer to heal.”In fact, a recent study at a universityfound that men who worked out withpersonal trainers had bigger boosts intestosterone than those who worked outunsupervised.

• The more you want, the harder youhave to work…

Sorry, but there is no safe, easy, fast,foolproof way to get in shape for amarathon, lose four inches around yourwaist, or build biceps like softballs.Those who do the work, and do it theright way, reap the most rewards.

To book your appointment with aqualified personal trainer, please contactthe Fitness Staff at local 3328 or 3467.

Mention “infectioncontrol” and the firstworkplace to pop intoyour head is probably“hospitals”. However,hospitals are not theonly place where youhave to be concernedabout controlling thespread of infections.

When it comes to ahealthy work environ-ment, be aware of thespread of all kinds of“germs” - micro-organ-isms such as bacteriaand viruses which causeillnesses. How aboutgerms found in dusts orillnesses which candevelop due to lack ofproper ventilation?These germs may notkill you, but they canmake you sick and takeyou away from your job.Who likes to be layingin bed with a fever,runny nose and sorethroat?

Here are a few waysto combat potentialinfection in your work-place.

• Wash your hands.This small task onlytakes a few minutes, butit could save you a weekto 10 days ofheadaches, nausea andsinus congestion causedby colds, flu or gas-trointestinal upsets. Usea mild soap when wash-ing up and wash yourforearms as well. Whileyou don’t have to washyour hands every 10minutes, it is a goodidea to wash thembefore and after usingthe toilet, before andafter eating, before andafter work, beforeapplying cosmetics orlip balm and beforehandling contact lenses.

• Remember; thesmallest cut is largeenough for disease-causing micro-organ-isms to enter. Wash cutsand scrapes properlyand cover them with aclean bandage. If youthink your cut may betoo severe to handle byyourself or if you arenot sure if your cut iscleaned properly, getimmediate medicalattention. Neglectedcuts can become seri-ously infected down the

road. Always thorough-ly clean up the bloodand disinfect the areawith bleach.

• If you are reallysick, don’t go to work.The last thing you wantto do is infect otherswith whatever you have.Stay home, get plentyof rest, and drink lots ofliquids. If your illnesslasts longer than a fewdays, or if you have afever, visit your doctoror local medical clinic.

• When blowingyour nose at work, dis-pose of the tissueimmediately. Leaving itlying around wheresomeone else may touchit accidentally is a sureway to spread the mis-ery of colds or the flu.

• Try to avoid the“communal coffeespoon” in your lunchroom, and don’t shareyour cup with others.Coffee cups and otherutensils should bewashed in hot, soapywater. Sinks and coun-ters should be kept dis-infected and dry.Disposable paper tow-els, rather than clothones, should be used forwiping dishes in sharedkitchens.

There are virusesthat can kill, like HIV(Human Immunodeficiency

Virus) or HBV (Hepatitis BVirus). These are blood-borne pathogens (dis-eases carried by theblood). Thanks toongoing research, newinformation is con-stantly coming to lightabout these diseases,but one thing is knownfor sure — people in alltypes of work environ-ments must be madeaware of bloodbornepathogens. It is verylikely your workplacehas procedures tellingyou how to guard your-self against potentiallydangerous situationswhich may expose youto HIV or HBV. Readthese procedures thor-oughly; they may saveyour life.

No one is going tobe able to halt the tideof all the disease-caus-ing germs floatingabout, but if you takeprecautions, you canlimit them f romspreading.

If you’re going to trainas a runner, what betterplace to do it thansomewhere tropical?

Second LieutenantPhillip Meikle of 8Wing/CFB Trentonwas part of a 18-personteam of CanadianForces personnel thattook part in the CISMtraining camp fromNovember 29 toDecember 6 inBarbados.

“We completed twoto three high intensityrunning workouts eachday for the duration ofthe camp. At the end ofthe camp we participat-ed in the Run Barbadosseries,” stated 2LtMeikle. “The entireteam ran five km of theevent as a team timetrial.”

The week was in

preparation and selec-tion for upcominginternational CISMevents and an overallsuccess, stated 2LtMeikle.

“I had previouslycompeted on a nationallevel as a sprinter in the200m and 400m. Thiscamp was my firstopportunity to train forcross-country at a highlevel, running with verygood and experienceddistance runners,” hesaid. “Traveling toBarbados provided the

chance to do highintensity workouts out-doors that are impossi-ble to do with theCanadian winter. I havebeen to a number oftraining camps outsidethe military since Ibegan running, but thiswas certainly the mostdifficult physically aswe had both runningand strength trainingworkouts each day.”

The team also hadthe fortune of workingwith the head coach ofthe Barbados Defense

Force Running Team,who hosted the camp.

“(It) provided every-one with a differentapproach and perspec-tive. It was also a rareopportunity for theteam to get togetherand train everydaywithout having to worryabout the pressure of acompetition,” said 2LtMeikle.

Keep Sales Rolling with a “REAL DEAL” from Ralph Neale

“ Minivan: While our Caravan, Grand Caravan and Town & Country sales were up nearly 3% year over year, GM was down 7%, Ford was down 32%, Mazda down 25% and Honda was down 2%. As a result, we continued to grow share capturing 35% of this key segment! As the only Minivan to offer the innovative and segment-exclusive Show ‘n Go seating, it’s no surprise that we continue to dominate. In fact: our Minivans in 2004 outsold the Chevy Venture, Chevy Uplander, Ford Freestar, Toyota Sienna and Nissan Quest… combined!”
