JEFF GAYE Almost 800 runners – 791, to be exact – participated in the 4 Wing Community Run on Saturday. Participants hit the road under sunny skies for halfmarathon, ten-kilometre and five-kilometre races. Runners and organizers were thrilled with the event. "It doesn't get much sweeter than this,” said Fitness and Sports Director Josey Yearley. “We had near record attendance, and that's without our typical international participation from Maple Flag participants. So turnout was outstanding, and 69 runners for the half-marathon is a record.” 4 Wing Commander Col Eric Kenny ran the 10-km race. He said the idea of 4 Wing hosting the run as a community event is a winner. “It’s great that anybody can participate,” he said. “It fits into my theme of integrating with the community to make Cold Lake our home.” Col Kenny said the run’s organizers and sponsors, who made it possible to run the event without charging an entry fee, deserve big thanks. Yearley agrees. “The PSP staff, volunteers and the weatherman all did a simply outstanding job,” she said. “Top it off with a healthy lunch provided by Wing Foods and terrific prizes from our sponsors and you’ve got a winner.” The start/finish area at Col JJ Parr Sports Centre had a festive atmosphere with the hundreds of participants on hand. Individuals, families, sports teams and other groups came out. There were many young runners entered, and many parents ran the race with babies or toddlers in heavyduty strollers. “It was a great day at the office in my books,” Yearley said. “I think everyone went home happy and tired. I know I did!" Race results are on page 13.

This provided us an opportunity to witness first-hand the tremendous work that you do on a daily basis. It also allowed us to explain our priorities, answer questions and understand your concerns. The professionalism, focus, pride, and dedication of our defence team were truly evident everywhere we went to visit. Most of the concerns expressed related to resources (manning and funding), condition of working environment (i n f r a st r uc t u re), opportunities for career advancement, and cost of living. In this edition of The Courier, we have tried to capture the most common questions, thereby providing you better information on where we are going in the future. As you know, Maple Flag was reduced this year with a focus on training the Air Task Force 1401 and it’s associated Air Expeditionary Wing operating in Cold Lake and Wainwright. Although much smaller in scale than normal Maple Flag exercises, we did successfully achieve the objective of training and certifying these units to assume a High Readiness posture to rapidly deploy in support of any operation at home or abroad. House hunting trips are taking place for those posted to/from Cold Lake. The later posting cycle has created stress for many members, so Brookfield is rapidly responding to member’s Ever wondered how you could show your appreciation to our Canadian Forces Members for their service and dedication?

We look forward to welcoming all those arriving in Cold Lake this summer, while wishing all the best to those moving on to a new location. Many are starting to think about plans for summer vacations while others prepare to deploy or are deployed in operations around the world. At the beginning of July we will see a large contingent from 409 TFS deploy to Hawaii to participate in RIMPAC 2014, the world’s largest international maritime exercise run by the United States Navy every two years. All this while the Wing maintains dayto-day operations and prepares to meet new tasks over the coming months. This is the time of year referred to by many leaders as the "Critical Days of Spring and Summer." It is the timeframe when the Royal Canadian JEFF GAYE Since taking command of 4 Wing in April, Col Kenny has taken the time, along with WCWO Viel, to visit all of the wing’s various units. They shared information and welcomed questions from members. Our centre spread this week (pages 8 and 9) includes some images from the visits along with the command team’s answers to many of your questions. *** Saturday’s 4 Wing Community Run was a big hit. The weather was perfect and the whole event was thoroughly enjoyable. The re-branding to “Community Run” appears to have paid off, as 4 Wing welcomed hundreds of our Cold Lake area friends and neighbours to come and run with us. Thanks go out to the event’s sponsors (see page 13), who made it possible to Air Force tends to experience our greatest number of mishaps. As you make your plans it is paramount you keep safety in mind. Our collective goal is to achieve zero mishaps; however, doing so requires an on-going personal commitment to safety from all of you. We ask for your stage the event without charging an entry fee. When something comes off so well, it’s clear there was a lot of hard work behind it. The whole PSP team and a small army of volunteers deserve a vote of thanks for making a huge undertaking look effortless. *** There are a couple of important charitable initiatives coming up, you can read about them both on page 4. Tim Hortons Camp Day is Wednesday, June 4, and I’ll be there pouring coffee for the cause. Last year I had the pleasure of taking a busload of young people to the Tim Horton Children’s Ranch in Kananaskis, Alberta. I can attest that everybody at Tim Horton Children’s Foundation – the management and administration as well as the outstanding camp staff – puts the kids first. It’s a continued efforts in beautifying the base, and restoring the pride in ownership of our living and work spaces. We have a lot to be thankful for and creating a safe and enjoyable community will go a long way to making Cold Lake our home. Thank you for your service and support. valuable program, well worth your support. One hundred per cent of coffee sales on Wednesday goes to support the work of the foundation. The annual ALS Walk goes on Saturday. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a heartbreaking, deadly condition that can affect anybody. If you can’t join in the walk, consider making a generous pledge. *** Official Club 41 Crossword time: 32:33, with a very lucky guess on 38-down.

The ATF 1401 was comprised of an ATF Headquarters in Wainwright, the Air Expeditionary Wing (AEW) and their detachments in Cold Lake, and 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron in Wainwright. At the conclusion of training, the ATF 1401 was confirmed as being prepared for a state of high readiness. The AEW had set up camp next to Medley terminal for its participation in Exercise Maple Resolve. Capt Christopher Daniel said the overall experience was “very good.” “The environment provided us with the training we need to be on high readiness. The situations they put us in were realistic situations,” he said. The AEW was evaluated last week and was confirmed operationally ready by the evaluating team. “We’re very appreciative of the support 4 Wing extended to us,” Capt Daniel said. Cpl J.W.S.

Camp Day is the foundation’s single biggest fundraiser, although Bishop says fundraising is a yearround effort. “Customers donate their change when they buy their coffee. A nickel here, a nickel there – it definitely adds up,” he said. Whether it’s through the in-store collection boxes, buying a coffee on Camp Day or making a major donation to the foundation, Bishop says, it all helps. “You can give a nickel or fifteen cents, or you can give a hundred dollars. No one is judging. We’re grateful for the donation and we’ll put it to good use,” he said.

The camps run yearround, and offer a variety of different participant programs. Bishop says Camp Day is not just a fundraiser, it’s a fun event for the stores and their customers. “We have volunteers come in and help out,” he said. “Not just local dignitaries, but some of our regular customers come out and volunteer for Camp Day. We decorate the stores and we have a lot of fun.” Annual ALS Walk Saturday JEFF GAYE The Cold Lake Walk for ALS will step off from Lakeland Lutheran Church Saturday morning with a goal of raising $15,000. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) also commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a rapidly progressive and ultimately fatal neuromuscular disorder that affects a select group of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As the nerve cells die, people with ALS lose control of their muscles, which makes breathing, eating, even smiling almost impossible. According to the Walk for ALS website, every dollar raised goes to provide equipment, support services, education for the ALS community, and fund research to find a cure. Michelle Feduniak is a volunteer walk coordinator for the Cold Lake Walk. She says participation has been good since the annual walk started here a dozen years ago, “but we can always use more.” Last year’s walk raised more than $12,000. “We want to raise at least $15,000 this year,” Feduniak said. “But we also want to raise awareness about ALS.” For information on donating or participating, contact Michelle or Pat Feduniak at coldlakewalk@alsab.ca or call 780-812-0954. Tuesday, 3 June 2014 The Courier News & Publishing Page 5 Air Canada Boosts Baggage Allowance for CAF Members THE COURIER Air Canada is permitting active and retired members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to check three bags on its flights without extra charges. The airline offers members of the Canadian and US military an enhanced baggage allowance when travelling on a flight by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or Air Canada Express. Eligible active and retired members are entitled up to 3 pieces of checked baggage, weighing up to 32 kg each, free of charge. Angela Mah, a spokesperson for Air Canada, said “this is consistent with the baggage allowances offered to Air Canada’s most frequent travelers at the Super Elite 100K level.” CAF personnel welcomed the announcement. 4 Wing Chief Warrant Officer MORTGAGE SPECIALIST Q Sometimes banks come out with a super good rate sale called a “low discount mortgage”. What is that exactly? A Each Mortgage Centre office is independently owned and operated. You have to be careful not to just look at the rate for a mortgage. As some of these mortgages have higher penalties, or either you cannot pay extra onto your mortgage or you can pay less on it than a regular mortgage, or sometimes they have more restricted rules on the mortgage. For example when you sell a house and purchase a new one sometimes you cannot take it with Shannon Parker, you to the next house or it has to be Mortgage Broker under certain restricted guidelines. The Mortgage Centre - North East Alberta Give us a call and we will help you Phone: 780-826-3544 make the right decision for your Email: parker.s@mortgagecentre.com mortgage. Bob Viel said “we’re happy Air Canada is doing this. It’s a great way of supporting our troops.” WestJet offers similar baggage allowances to military personnel. To take advantage of the Air Canada policy, eligible members must complete their check-in as usual either online or at a kiosk, and then present their official military ID to an Air Canada agent to waive associated baggage fees. the True Patriot Love Foundation and the Royal Canadian Legion’s annual Poppy Campaign. “One sad but sacred duty Air Canada employees are entrusted with and accept with great solemnity is repatriation of fallen soldiers on their final flights home across Canada,” she said. Mah said many of the company’s employees are current or former military members or families of military members. Are there times when you need a little professional advice?

A When a cat grooms itself it swallows hair. This collects in the stomach and can form a ball of fur too big to pass through the digestive tract. Some cats are able to vomit the wad of fur, while others can become constipated and lethargic. Hairballs that are impassable will require surgery. Prevent hairballs by combing and brushing loose fur from your cat’s coat. You should also treat your cat with a hairball preventative two or three times a week. These are petroleum-based, usually fishflavoured and readily accepted by even finicky felines.

Anyway of stopping that? A Humidity is typically higher in the summer. That humidity in a cool basement can lead to a damp “feel” in the living area. A proven method in reducing this is with a dehumidifier. This appliance draws air into it and removes the moisture, collects it in a enclosed tank and if equipped, empty into a floor drain. Lowering the humidity can greatly improve the comfort of a living space and help control the moisture of building materials and furnishings. Kevin Lester, RHI Home Inspector Cell 780-812-5849 Fax 780-639-2175 kevin@klhomeinspections.ca www.klhomeinspections.ca Q: DOES THE WINDSHIELD OF MY CAR BLOCK HARMFUL UVA/UVB RAYS? SHOULD I WEAR SUNSCREEN WHILE DRIVING? A: During my consultations, when I am reviewing a patient’s photograph, I often find evidence of increased wrinkling and sagging on the driving side (or passenger side, whichever is more frequent) of my patients. UVA has a longer wave length than UVB and as a result, penetrates through glass. Many people have seen the shocking picture of a truck driver after 28 yrs of sun exposure through his windshield, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2153611. It is revealing how small amounts of UVA exposure, over time, increases the signs of ageing. Dermatologists recommend wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Most sunscreen in make-up and lotions are inadequate.

A: A Personal directive is a legal document in which you would name a decision maker to act as your health care agent. If you were to be declared incapacitated, due to illness or injury, your agent would then act on your behalf based on the written directions outlined in your personal directive. It is recommended that you choose someone you trust, such as a family member or close friend, to carry out this important role. In the personal directive you are able to provide instruction regarding medical treatment/life-prolonging procedures and personal matters. You may also wish to indicate if you would like your organs and tissues to be used for transplantation purposes. It is recommended that you outline your instruction in a personal directive so that your wishes are known if such a situation was to arise.

The ad includes dramatic video of the show’s performers including the 2014 CF-18 Demonstration Team, the Snowbirds and vintage aircraft. It was produced in Winnipeg for air on CBC. The ad spots are part of an in-kind sponsorship agreement with the broadcaster, who is providing $5,000.00 worth of air time. Production costs were low, said air show director Maj Yanick Gregoire, and the air show bought an additional $5,000 worth of time. “It’s an excellent opportunity for us,” Maj Gregoire said. “We want to get the event out there, and this is a cost effective way to gain the required exposure.” CBC had offered to include its Calgary station in the deal, but the Air Show committee decided to concentrate on the northern Alberta audience. “If people come from too far away, they will face challenges finding accommodation,” Maj Gregoire said. “People from around Edmonton can make it a day trip, but from much further away it’s likely they would want to stay overnight.” Hotel rooms and campsites are hard to come by in Cold Lake. The Cold Lake Air Show is part of CFB Cold Lake’s and 4 Wing’s 60th a n n i v e r s a r y celebrations. A Freedom of the City parade will launch the festivities on Friday, July 18, followed by a Gala dinner that evening. The air show will take place on Saturday, July 19 with the City of Cold Lake closing the festivities with a “Canadian Rock Legends” concert. The city is also the principal sponsor of the air show.

Cpl Vlassova Wing Construction Engineering. Cpl Houck Col Kenny and CWO Viel recently toured the Wing and met with members from all units. They discussed various subjects of interest to members and answered as many questions as they could. These pages show some of the highlights from the visits, and contain WComd’s answers to some questions raised by personnel at 4 Wing. of care for a total of $610.00 per month or $3.33 per hour vs. the day care center which is $650.00 per month or $3.61 per hour. If members choose to simply register their child for MFRC daycare then they would not have to pay the administration fee, but if they register for the Day Home care then there is an administration fee. Why does a member have to pay $13.00 to place a child on a waiting list for home day care? If members travelling for medical appointments in Edmonton cannot make the medical run or if they want to bring a spouse as an escort, why do they have to pay out of pocket for parking and fuel when they travel via PMV? There is an administrative/ registration fee for the Day Home Project given the additional paperwork required for this particular entity. The MFRC holds the provincial license to contract individuals (providers) to provide child care in their homes. These individuals are considered to be selfemployed. Therefore, in order to attain the provincial registration/ accreditation, the MFRC is required to screen the home and individuals, and provide certification in first aid. There is also the registration with insurance underwriters for providers and children in the home to ensure each space is insured for $2 million. This is a one-time registration fee. Once a child is accepted in the Day Home, every month there is a $10.00 administrative fee which is included in the cost Reference: ADM (HRMIL) INSTRUCTION 08/05 “Health-related Travel” (http://cmpcpm.forces.mil.ca/mpiipm/08-05-eng.asp) Canadian Armed Forces members’ healthrelated travel outside the geographical boundaries of the member’s support base is the responsibility of CF Health Services. In accordance with reference, Clinic Managers have been delegated as the approval authority for all medical-related travel arrangements covered at reference. Similarly, Dental Detachment Commanders have been delegated as the approval authority for all dental-related travel arrangements covered at reference. Travel by CAF members is always via the most practical and economical means possible. When a medical escort is required and authorized by the treating clinician, the same set of rules continues to apply. If in the opinion of the treating clinician (i.e. due to medical restrictions) the member cannot use the medical run (a dedicated CAF asset specifically dedicated to the transportation of CAF members for out-ofgeographic area healthrelated travel), and/ or when appointment times fall outside of the medical run hours, then this will be indicated by the treating clinician and/or CDU clerk and the authorized means of transportation will be reimbursed according to CAF travel policies. CAF members can find specific details at paras 3 and 4 of the reference for additional clarification. We are told that the base wants to spend money on getting the community back together. As a member of St. Marks Church (on base), I see firsthand that the church needs some money, not only to draw more people in, but for upkeep and events. We believe that the churches are an excellent way of bringing community together. More time, effort and money should be spent in that area. Depending on the requirement, public and non-public funds are used to support the Wing Chaplain’s requirements when possible. The Chaplain’s office is currently in the midst of working on a proposal to update the infrastructure. Childcare Benefits. Maybe some kind of a deal with the childcare providers in the area for discounts for military members would be a great way to help their wallets a bit. With the local economy it would be nice to see this to help struggling members with the high costs of childcare in the area. Averages are $700 - $800 per child which is inflated due to oil. And we heard first hand from the Wing’s senior staff that they are working with the city and Mayor to get local businesses on board for military appreciation programs. Is there a plan to help with this? In discussions with MFRC, once the new day care at Art Smith Aviation Academy is operational (expected NLT 1 September 2015), any waiting lists should be minimal, and costs should be in-line with current costs (approximately $650/month). As for engaging local businesses to offer military discounts, please see further details in this edition of the Courier. The Cold Lake Chamber of Commerce has sent a letter to all local businesses encouraging them to sign up on the CF Appreciation website to offer discounts to our members. 4 CES. Cpl Berger 417 Squadron. Is there any plan to change the way we take care of our members with respect to dependant medical travel, and is there any plan to change the way we take care of our members with regards to taking the day off work to accompany their spouse, if their spouses have specific needs? Dependants of military members are often referred by their health care provider to medical appointments outside of the local area and the Minister of National Defence has recently redesignated CFB Cold Lake as an isolated unit for medical purposes. As such dependants of military members may, and are expected to, travel to their medical appointments on the medical run. Where use of the medical run is not possible, the travel cost for dependants to travel to their appointment may be reimbursed. The policy of reimbursement for travel costs was suspended for a period over the winter however it was recently reinstated and is currently under final review at higher headquarters. Note that meals, lodging and incidentals are not normally reimbursable. Where a military member needs to travel with their dependant to a medical appointment, Commanding Officers may grant short or compassionate leave as appropriate in accordance with the Canadian Forces Leave Policy Manual. Members are not on duty status when travelling with their dependant to a medical Cpl Vlassova Wing Foods. appointment and must be on authorized leave in order to be away from their place of duty. The 4 Wing policy for dependant medical travel is under revision and will be promulgated in a revised Wing Standing Administrative Instruction. Can you comment on past ineffectiveness of some Wing committees like the Community Council? The Community Council falls under the WCWO as an ex-officio and you will see more activity in this realm soon. They are actively planning activities for the 4 Wing Community under the theme “Making 4 Wing Our Home.” Some activities planned are Wing BBQs, community gardens, and opening the movie theatre. When is Axiom expected to be ready for use and will it accommodate user access points beyond the Squadron. I believe the last time the ramp gates were controlled the restrictions were too tight making it hard for users to gain access to the gate. WCE and MPs have been looking into this and should have a solution as soon as July. We are expecting to activate Axiom in a phased approach. User access points will not be limited to the Squadrons and the ramp restrictions will be assigned in a logical manner. Is it possible to set up a fence around the parking lot across from JJ Parr for RV’s? The RV Storage area is available to all members. A second RV Storage area that can accommodate larger trailers will be ready by end of June 2014. Therefore, there are no plans at this time for fencing to be installed at that location. Of note, once all RV Storage areas are open for use, it is expected that RVs will be stored in the Storage Lots rather than in the RHU areas (except for short periods of time during planned use). Is the Twisted Lizard bar out of bounds, and can a Serving member be denied from working there? The Twisted Lizard bar is not out of bounds. There are no listed Out of Bounds areas for Cold Lake at this time. QR + O 19.42 specifies the regulations in regards to employment of an officer or non-commissioned member engaging in any civilian employment. All requests for a civilian employment by a serving member are to be sent to the member’s CO for review and authority under the QR&O. What is the possibility of having a “Self Help” type program for RHUs (e.g. painting inside)? CFHA does have a policy for self-help projects (interior and exterior) to include touch up paint, but does not include complete room or full wall paint projects. CFHA will be having our painting contractor paint some of the RHUs that have been occupied long term. The RHUs chosen will be based on availability of funding and the need as determined by the CFHA inspector. Why can’t we get an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system that works? Heating will be turned off shortly and the HVACs will be turned on. Our HVAC systems are old and they are prone to failure. At the same time, we do not have enough qualified technicians and insufficient maintenance money to support a Wing of this size and scope. Therefore, we must prioritize our work and when it comes to air conditioning, we put our emphasis on mission critical systems to include the Navigational Systems on the airfield, our server rooms, the simulators and other distributed network areas, all requiring very cool operating conditions. During the few days of summer we had last week, WCE RM techs were pulled in a dozen different directions trying to keep all these above mentioned items serviceable. In one instance, the failed A/C units on the PAR had our technicians working late into the wee hours of the morning to troubleshoot and keep the system from catastrophic failure. After these mission critical HVAC priorities are addressed, we then move out to the secondary priorities which are predominantly office comfort issues and when it comes to HVAC repairs, nothing is inexpensive. If there is a problem with your HVAC systems please contact CE for a Work Order number. Cpl Berger 410 Squadron. Cpl Thompson 10 FTTS. Cpl Houck 409 Squadron. Cpl Vlassova Wing TEME.

Page 10 The Courier News & Publishing Tuesday, 3 June 2014 D-Day and 4 Wing’s Year of Anniversaries CPL PAUL COLTERMAN, WCE As we at 4 Wing go about our business keeping the base and its units at the front line of the RCAF, I wonder how many people know the depth of history and heritage accumulated here. With all the anniversaries the RCAF and the Canadian Armed Forces celebrate this year, including 4 Wing and CFB Cold Lake’s 60th, let’s pause for a moment and take a look at where we came from. There are many other dates that play a large part in our history. 2014 is also the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I and the 90th anniversary of the RCAF. But the anniversary that intrigues me the most this year is the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasions at Normandy. While D-Day is largely known for the immense army and navy contributions, the RCAF also played a huge role in the success of Operation Overlord (the official code name for D-Day) Without total air superiority the entire landing force would have taken immeasurable casualties once we hit the beaches and attempted to advance inland. Our overall ability to make the charge would have been in jeopardy as the Axis would have had a better capability not only to attack the force, but also to better prepare once they knew the exact size of the advancing forces. Canada sent 14,000 troops, the third-largest contribution of forces to the beach head. We also used our own air force to cover our landings at Juno beach. In addition to clearing the skies of the dreaded Luftwaffe and attacking ground emplacements on the beach, the RCAF had the responsibility of gathering intelligence on Axis positions and strength. They helped collect data for the weather forecast, as the weather played a huge part in choosing the exact day of the assault. All this time, they continued with bombing raids deep into German territory. The RCAF was also tasked with the airdrop of troops before and during the main invasion to put paratroopers behind enemy lines for the eventual “beginning of the end” for World War II. The RCAF ended up with air superiority as far as 100 miles into enemy territory. All RCAF fighter planes, pilots and ground crew were put under control of the 83 Air Group. Days before the assault they began to ensure passage RAF Ground crew push a 4,000-lb blast bomb towards the bay of a Vickers Wellington bomber of 419 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force at RAF Mildenhall, May 1942. for the ground troops and destruction of the Axis’ infrastructure and ability to mount a counter offensive. To accomplish this task our squadrons flew the Hawker Hurricane, Hawker Typhoon and the venerable Supermarine Spitfire fighter planes. Bomber Command squadrons were flying Wellington, Halifax and Lancaster bombers. Our paths cross with history here at 4 Wing, as all of 409 and 410 squadrons took part in the D-Day invasions. Meanwhile 419 Squadron had spent months on bombing missions into Germany to weaken the enemy’s ability to wage war, and continued the bomb runs on D-Day itself. Not to be outdone, 417 Squadron was in Italy at the time as the only Canadian squadron in place there. They had fought their way from North Africa and Sicily, keeping the Axis embroiled in battle and spread out to help the fight in Europe. In true Canadian fashion, 441, 442 and 443 Squadrons helped set the pace by being the first allied squadrons to have a base on French soil since 1940 – an accomplishment most people here probably were never taught. So as all of us at 4 Wing prepare to celebrate 60 years in Cold Lake, let’s take a moment to look back and remember where we came from, not only as a base but as the RCAF as well. As we gain more understanding of where we came from, and take inspiration from our past, it gives more meaning to our RCAF motto: Sic Itur ad Astra (such is the pathway to the stars).

The magnitude of planning behind the transportation of materials to and from Afghanistan during the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) mission there over the past 12 years is astounding. Weapons, vehicles, ammunition, food and more – it all had to get there, and it all had to go somewhere when the mission ended. Canada’s Mission Closure Team (MCT) was tasked to identify, locate and account for all CAF material within Afghanistan and either dispose of it in theatre or return it to Canada. “The mission closure effort was done concurrently with the ongoing training operation,” said L ieuten a nt- C olonel Tim O’Shea, Deputy Commander of the MCT. “It required a considerable amount of effort to phase things through production lines as training tasks wound up in theatre.” Back in Canada, a team from the Canadian Joint Operations Command (CJOC) in Ottawa planned and coordinated the effort. Items that retained value were sent back to Canada. Items that were damaged, outdated or no longer needed were sold in Afghanistan whenever possible. If sale was not feasible, the materials were donated to charities and not-forprofits. Finally, anything that was beyond use was disposed of. The MCT sorted the materials based on the Operation’s Material and Infrastructure Disposition Directive, which accounted for all CAF items that were deployed to Afghanistan and detailed the disposition based on cost, requirement and customs regulations. Items were packed into shipping containers or aircraft pallets and were inspected to ensure that they met the proper certifications and complied with CAF, national and international movement regulations. Material prepared for transport from Kabul was stored in one of three locations: Camp SOUTER, Camp PHOENIX, or the MCT Staging Area at Kabul International Airport. Sensitive items such as weapons, ammunition, i n f o r m a t i o n management data, and communications were stored at Camps SOUTER or PHOENIX for security reasons. The most efficient method of transportation out of Afghanistan was by air. For cost efficiency, many of the containers were moved on a space available basis, loaded onto aircraft that were hauling non- CAF materials but were not full. This allowed Canada to share the costs with other parties while preventing wasted space on aircraft. The process of scheduling materials for return to Canada was complex and fluid. With the pack-andmove starting before the mission ended, the retrograde schedule, disposal plan and material production schedule changed almost daily. Sensitive material was loaded onto a CC177 Globemaster. Items such as ammunition and explosives were flown directly to Cold Lake and delivered by truck to the Canadian Forces Ammunition Depot in Dundurn, Saskatchewan. Materials coming out of Kandahar travelled to other ports in the Middle East to be processed while containers from Kabul were sent to the Operation Support Hub in Kuwait.

Terminal in Kuwait was responsible for final cleanliness of the shipment. From either port, containers were shipped to Montreal. For Major Gordon Bennett, CJOC Logistics Officer, the ability to react quickly and provide innovative solutions was crucial to the mission. “You come into work in the morning and have no idea what is going to be requested that day. Could be lumber, could be personnel repatriation, moving ammunition, a problem with the weather, aircraft that can’t land because of too much fog or too much dust... It certainly didn’t make for a boring day.” Once in Canada, everything was sorted, checked for serviceability and repaired if necessary. The material was then redistributed either to the unit that originally owned it or back to the depot to be stored for upcoming operations. Spot a Typo? Coffee’s On Us.

Why not get outside and skip? Skipping is the exercise part to this year’s Wing Commander’s Summer Wellness Challenge. The challenge is to complete 500 skips per day. If you require lower impact activity, you can do 500 high knee lifts or climb 20 sets of stairs (only “up” counts). But don’t just do it for the coveted Wing Commander’s Cup points! Skipping is an inexpensive form of exercise that can be done almost anywhere by most people of any age. Skipping is a higher impact activity, and it’s body-weight bearing which is what our bodies need to keep our bones strong. Jumping rope can be a beneficial exercise for osteoporosis prevention. Osteoporosis is more prevalent in women, but it happens to men as well. Top-Ten Finishes for Local Runners JEFF GAYE All four of 4 Wing’s entries in the CAF running championships finished in the top ten in their respective categories. The championships were conducted in conjunction with the National Capital Race Weekend in Ottawa May 25 and 26. 4 Wing runners competed in 5-kilometre and halfmarathon distances. Capt Joel Maley of AETE finished first in the half-marathon. His time of 1:17:13 was tops among CAF runners, ninth out of 13,180 overall, fifth of 653 in his age/gender category and ninth out of 5,763 male runners. Capt Matt Setlack, also of AETE, was the third CAF finisher in the 5k run, just four seconds behind the winner. He finished in 16:06 – fifth of 9,995 overall, second of 212 in his age/gender category and fifth out of 4,065 male runners. Capt Alana Cadieux of Wing Headquarters ran her half-marathon in 1:37:25 to finish fourth among CAF runners in her age/gender category. This was good for a 568th overall, 21st of 1,336 in her age/gender category and 69th out of 7,417 female runners. Capt James Gray of 417 Squadron was the eighth CAF runner across the line in his age/gender category for the half-marathon. His 1:35:36 time was 468th overall, 53rd of 653 in his age/gender category and 410th of 5,763 male halfmarathoners. Building strong, healthy bones is important at every age and for every gender. Jumping rope is also a plyometric-style workout and is excellent for developing power, speed and endurance. One advantage of skipping is you don’t need to do a ton of it to get the benefits. A few minutes a few times per week can be a great addition to any fitness regime. Skipping at a pace of 120 turns per minute is the same as running at a 9.5 km per hour pace. So if you don’t love to run or have a hard time increasing the intensity in your workouts, try skipping. This intense form of exercise will elevate your heart rate into the higher end of your cardiovascular training zone or, depending on how hard you skip, it can also be great for anaerobic training (short hard work bouts, like sprinting). Here are two jump rope programs that you can try: Skip two minutes Climb the stairs for two minutes Run two minutes Row or bike two minutes Repeat 1-4 times Or add skipping to your strength routine – between each strength exercise skip for one minute. Not only will you boost your cardiovascular fitness, but the skipping will tax your body and make the strength portion more challenging. This is a great option anytime, but especially if you are training with lighter weights or doing body weight exercises. Involve your family, friends or other kids in your neighbourhood – get outside and play some fun skipping games like Double Dutch. See who can skip the most turns without stopping, or try to break your own record for double unders (passing the rope under your feet twice in only one jump). You can also check out other skipping games at http:// w w w. b u y j u m p r o p e s . net/Jump_Rope_ Rhymes_s/39.htm. If you are not already an avid skipper, what are you waiting for? 4 Wing Community Library News Located in the 4 Wing Community Access Building • 780-594-7456 Yes, There Is a 4 Wing Library KELLY MCKEAGE, 4 WING COMMUNITY LIBRARY Since taking over the position of Librarian at 4 Wing Community Library it has been my goal to get the word out that 4 Wing has a library – a library that is open to anyone! The library is attached to Art Smith Aviation Academy and is used by the students and staff of the school; however the Library has a separate entrance for the public as well. The library has been changing in the last few months. We have new tables for the kids’ area – cute red and blue tables and chairs! There is also a bright, colorful rug to sit on while reading with children. A couple of new shelves have been purchased, as well, to display new books. My current project is to have an area for adults to sit and read. I hope to have some comfy reading chairs, rug and tables in the area to make it more inviting in the next month. In June, the library will also have wifi access. The library has a lot to offer our patrons. Check out www.tracpac. ab.ca to look for books, DVDs and much more! You can order books online with your library card, and have your books come to 4 Wing Community Library for pick up. If you are driving off 4 Wing, you can drop off your books at the Grand Centre or Harbor View Branches of Cold Lake Public Library. 4 Wing Community Library will be open through the summer, Monday to Friday 10 am to 4 pm. We are excited to be hosting a Summer Reading Program for the Summer Fun kids at JJ Parr this year. This is a free program that will run starting on Friday, July 4 and run six consecutive Fridays until August 8. The library collection is always being updated and we welcome gently used donations of books less than five years old. So think of 4 Wing Community Library when you are cleaning bookshelves before a move or when your kids outgrow their favorite stories!

Derived from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), summer solstice, which falls on June 21st, witnesses sunrise at 4:44 and sunset at 22:01 at CFB Cold Lake. Naturally, summer is well underway by this point. Traditionally, May marks the transition to summer. May 2014 however, opened with an unexpected blast of winter weather. Overnight lows fell below zero between the 2nd and 11th of the month while two snowfall records were broken on the 5th and 6th contributing to the total of 12cm for the month – well above the seasonal average. Fortunately, the situation changed dramatically mid-month with temperatures soaring close to 30 on several days for the rest of May. Though thunderstorms occurred frequently in the Lakeland region, none were reported at CFB Cold Lake as of May 26th. Residents of 4 Wing can rest assured that snowfall will no longer be an unexpected irritation. Since the establishment of a weather observation program at Cold Lake in 1954, measurable snowfall has never been reported in June. As one might expect, those warm temperatures from late May will become much more common with averages of 21 for daytime highs and 8.8 for overnight lows. Liquid precipitation, falling largely in the form of showers from convective clouds, generally exceeds 70mm for the month; after all, June 5 also holds Cold Lake’s all-time daily rainfall record of 93.7mm (1962). Expect to see increasing thunderstorm activity: the month of June has had an average of four storms over the last five years. Members of the 4Wing community can pride themselves on surviving yet another Cold Lake winter and begin to reap all the rewards that summer naturally provides, even if it always seems just a little too short.

The Religion of Sport PADRE HENRY HOY As the NHL playoffs reach towards the finals, I am reminded that hockey is for many Canadians a religion in itself – or so I am told. Even when I was a civilian pastor, I remember having very low turnouts on Sundays when children had hockey practice. However if we were to compare all the different flavours of the major religions that exist in the world, hockey is not that far off being considered a religion. For example we have folks who are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. and many of them will show they are proud of that identity by wearing or presenting something that associates them with their faith, such as a Christian who wears a cross. Similarly, hockey fans are often fanatical [Across from Art Smith Aviation Academy] Chapel Life Programming All local military/DND and visiting military/ DND personnel and their families are welcome and encouraged to join our opportunities of worship, social events, and charitable service activities.
