Discussion includes ways to talk to each other about differences Sara Keddy, Managing editor Words are one thing; action is another. 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston wants wing personnel to be very clear this base is a “safe, fair and welcoming workplace for every individual.” He hosted the annual Wing Commander’s Diversity Session May 15 at the Annapolis Mess, this year themed on the May 17 International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, but also took the opportunity to inform leadership and subordinates alike “leadership on this wing is here to deal with issues – all

issues – aggressively. “There is only one reason we exist in Greenwood: to have operational effect for Canada. Undermining that is not an option.” Huddleston touched on the May release of a report on the sexual environment and challenges of the Canadian Armed Forces, saying, while he doesn’t identify with a lot of what the report says it found, he is ready to take action if only one in 10 sexrelated incidences are actually reported. “If that’s true, we have a problem as equal to the rest of the country. I’m here to say, you need to come forward so we can solve the problem.

14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston, centre, and Major Paul Morck, 14 Wing Personnel Administration Officer, receive gifts from Kings County Warden Diana Brothers during the Wing Commander’s Diversity Session May 15. Several guests spoke about both discrimination and inclusion - and the best way for communities to talk about the issues. Leading Seaman E. Jorge, 14 Wing Imaging Our only reaction to every incidence of harassment – race, religion, gender – will be immediate.” The wing officially proclaimed its support of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, and the rainbow-coloured pride flag had front-andcentre honours as a series of

guest speakers addressed a full audience. Kings County Warden Diana Brothers thanked the wing for its open and helpful relationship with the county and communities, particularly on efforts in the past few years to address diversity, discrimination and equality issues in Kings County.

Inclusion makes a difference Cari Patterson, a consultant who has helped the county develop its action plan, not only spent some of her presentation reviewing provincial and national milestones along the road to equitable recognition, treatment and inclusion of lesbian, gay,

bisexual, transgender and questioning people; she also expressed her own thanks in seeing the pride flag present at 14 Wing Greenwood. “Congratulations,” she said. “LGBTQ – we come in all ages, colours, backgrounds, jobs, sizes…. You can find us everyday, whether you realize it or not, and seeing the pride Continued on page 3...

Trying the training The Canadian Forces Aboriginal Employment Program (CFAEP) is a threeweek program for Aboriginal people considering a career in the Canadian Armed Forces. Participants learn about the long and proud history of Aboriginal people in Canada’s

military, and take part in exercises similar to basic training, such as morning inspections, daily physical fitness and sports, navigation with compass and maps, basic weapons training and military drill. A key component of the training experience is living in

field conditions, all of which takes place at Forward Operating Base-Training Area, CFB Aldershot. Civilian Aboriginal counsellors are on staff and CAF personnel conducting the training are members of the CAF Naval Operations School in Halifax.

Same air war, but different

Visiting veteran compares military experiences in Greenwood, Germany Sara Keddy, Managing editor In 1942, as airmen were being trained here in Greenwood to fly over the territories being overrun by German soldiers, Henry Christians was in France. He was a young driver – trucks, cars and motorcycles: whatever was needed to keep the German Luftwaffe going. He was the enemy then but, May 22, he spent a morning with his British Air Force son-in-law, Peter Warden; and retired Canadian Armed Forces volunteer Bill Fraser, who hosted a tour of the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum for Christians. “I volunteered at 17,” Christians, now 92, said. He became an apprentice machinist April 1, 1941 in Hamburg, and joined the Luftwaffe May

1. “You had to sign up for 12 years as a professional soldier, and you’d get a civil service job after that. It was better than being forced to join.” Christians “never got close enough to an aircraft to get my hands on it,” but remembers the logistics of driving soldiers and supplies from place to place. “We were always hungry – we thought about food all the time,” he said. As the war drew to a close, Christians’ brother was killed in Russia. His brother was a blacksmith, so worked during the war shoeing military horses. “When the Russians broke through, everyone got a rifle. He had no real training as a soldier or in the military.” Christians himself ended his war years in Northern Ger-

Greenwood Military Aviation Museum volunteer Bill Fraser describes some of the modern aircraft being used by the Royal Canadian Air Force to visiting Luftwaffe veteran Henry Christians, and his son-in-law, retired Royal Air Force member Peter Warden. S.Keddy Fraser led Christians and many, near Denmark, in 1945. to return home to Hamburg: “All the troops were sort a very different looking city. Warden through Greenwood’s of gathered, and it was two In 1954, he came to Canada, military history, which beginweeks before the first English where he spent his working ning with the Second World troops arrived. We stayed career as a machinist.

intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Warden counts further on his family tree the military service of a grandfather (Royal Winnipeg Rifles and Royal Flying Corps), two uncles (one a rear gunner and later radar expert; the other an electrical and radio man with Middle East experience on Hurricanes and Spitfires) and a nephew, now in the artillery at Petawawa. This visit through Canadian flying history with Christians was a special event. “I would like to thank everyone involved in the recent museum visit - it was the highlight of his visit. There is brotherhood of the military that, once the dust has settled… (there are) no country, borders or political agenda… time and age brings us all together.”

“queer teen in a small town” as his father was posted to 14 Wing Greenwood in the 1970s. “I knew there was ‘no life like it’ here for me, but we’ve come a long way. At that time, the Canadian Forces was actively excluding queers. That ban has been removed and, contrary to what a lot of members had said then – that they wouldn’t live or work next to queer members, there was no mass exodus. And, the forces was better for queers, who could now live their lives. “In other places in the

world, forces like this have been used against people like me.” Hughes talked about using words and language – not to be hurtful and disrespectful, but to be aware and, at least “starting from the same page. “All words are is an attempt at labels. They are how we talk about people. There are nice words, and some not so nice. There are some that used to be used, some not anymore. Some are confusing and awkward – and that’s OK. It’s one of the ways you assume responsibility for stumbling

Support for one, all The Canadian Armed Forces has a set of policies and guidelines to support not only individuals, but commanding officers, units and military communities; through a member’s transition from one gender identity to another. Captain D.G. Soanes from 26 Canadian Forces Health Services outlined some of the directives and management strategies but, “as everyone knows, there is case-by-case and individual information we take into account. “Transitioning is a significant social and work adjust-

ment for the individual, the unit and the chain of command; it’s on-going until it is fully complete and we want to make sure it’s being dealt with appropriately for every person.” Canadian rights and freedoms set the policy the Canadian Armed Forces follows, but “it is a fine line, and reaching out can help,” Soanes said. “Commanding officers have at their fingertips subject matter experts – the chaplains, medical staff, mental health, community resources…. No one should ever feel alone through this process.”

Diversity... ...cover flag and knowing the work is being done here at 14 Wing is a good feeling. “Homophobia and transphobia – these are irrational fears which lead to isolation and rejection. The biggest thing that can happen to prevent that is strong parental and family and community love and acceptance.” Choose your words Tim Hughes, a volunteer with the Valley Youth Project, described a little of his own experience, arriving as a

over a word in an effort to be respectful. “Queer people have felt awkward over language for years.” Assigned sex, gender identification, gender presentation, sexual and romantic or emotional attraction are all areas where personal and cultural perceptions have an effect, and Hughes challenged the audience to stretch their imagination. “With understanding, you may become aware of people around you, and more accepting in your social and work lives.”

Team efforts highlight honours, awards Sara Keddy, Managing editor Team work was the theme behind many of the achievements recognized at 14 Wing Greenwood’s May 12 honours and awards ceremony. It was a full house at the Annapolis Mess, as Wing Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston presided over a series of presentations recognizing the milestones and achievements of 14 Wing personnel. “I challenged the commanding officers to bring their ideas together about teams, and acknowledge their efforts,” he said. “We’re incredibly busy – you know that. That’s exemplified by the awards received today, and in our success right across the range. We all contribute; we are all part of the success of operations – in Iraq, and here at home.” Huddleston said the base is “settling into a pace,” dealing with the demands of an active international deployment – “but it’s not going to get any easier. I depend on your imaginations, dedication and knowledge. So does the commander. “Keep your pedal to the metal” through the upcoming summer’s change of commands and, “when or if something is forgotten or you see something that is changing and will change operations – speak up and keep us on the straight and narrow.” This ceremony marked the final opportunity Huddleston had to present honours and awards, as he, too, is posting from 14 Wing in July. “I’ve been incredibly proud to have been here, and incredibly impressed with them team – focussed on one goal.” General Service Medal – South-West Asia - Major Michael Hagen Special Service Medal Alert Bar – Warrant Officer Helene Trudel Special Service Medal

Cast a Lake Pleasant line in kids’ fishing derby This is an invitation to all you youngsters (up to age 15) to come out June 13 to the Lake Pleasant Campground and join the Campers Club and 14 Wing Greenwood’s Junior Ranks for their 27th children’s fishing derby. Registration will begin bright and early, at 8 a.m. in the camp lodge. All registered participants and volunteers will then meet in the lodge to receive rules and in-

structions at 8:45 a.m., with the derby officially beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing until 11 a.m. Prizes for all, certificates and a hot dog BBQ lunch will commence at 11:30 a.m. Last year, approximately 60 children registered for derby fishing fun. “If it’s alive, wiggles like a fish, looks like The poker players: Murray (Charles Staples), Vinnie (John Vink), Speed (Paul Dill) and Roy (Crawford Van a fish, and can swim away Horne). after being measured, then it counts as a fish!”

Do you think you have a hard skull? Jill Jackson, Community Recreation Manager, 14 Wing Greenwood Kids are now digging out their bikes, inline skates, scooters and skateboards for the warm weather season. But why aren’t those helmets being dug out, too? At 14 Wing Greenwood recreation facilities, rules state users must wear helmets - but 50 per cent of users are not following this rule. As a parent or young person, you may think you are invincible or that injuries will not happen to you or your child. Unfortunately, that is not

the case. Thousands of in-line skaters and skateboarders are injured each year in falls and accidents. The National Paediatric Trauma Registry received data for one year on 631 children ages five to 19, hospitalized for injuries caused by falls while in-line skating or skateboarding. Injuries included 296 arm or wrist fractures, 127 leg and/ or ankle fractures, 72 skull fractures and concussions, 16 intracranial injuries and 15 abdomen injuries. On average, the injured children spent almost three days in the hospital; one-tenth of them were in intensive care. Please do not read this data

and think, “not my child, or me.” Injuries do - and will happen, but, luckily, many can be prevented. How? Very simply, by wearing a helmet, using your head and following proper rules of safety. Tips for preventing injuries • Learn to fall safely • Wear protective gear: helmets are mandatory! • Avoid skating on streets with traffic • Do not skate at night, since it is difficult to see and be seen • Check equipment frequently to make sure it is in good working condition The 14 Wing Greenwood

multi-use park at the community Centre on Church Street is intended for the safe use of patrons. All users of the park must wear helmets when at the facility. If your child or you are users of this facility, it would be in your best interest to follow this simple rule: “Respect the Facility, Respect the Rules and Respect those enforcing them”. We want everyone to have a safe, clean, enjoyable season. When at the park, pick up your garbage, respect the rules and wear your helmet. If you have any questions about the park or would like to volunteer, contact Community Recreation at 902-765-1494 local 5331.

Greenwood Players present ‘The Odd Couple’

It’s down to the wire, as the Greenwood Players prepare to present the timeless modern classic “The Odd Couple” June 2 to 6. This production remains true to the 1965 Neil Simon script, in which two best friends find themselves single again and thrown together by the situation. Add in their buddies from a long established poker night and two young divorcees, and we soon see some rifts in this “Odd Couple” relationship. The slovenly Oscar Madison, played by Simon Squire, and compulsively neat Felix Unger, played by Todd Detchevery, are portrayed excellently by these two seasoned Greenwood Players actors. Director Jeffery Pocock has commented their on stage interaction is “some of the best” he has ever seen. The audience joins poker playing buddies Murray, Speed, Vinnie and Roy as they witness Oscar and Felix’s relationship progress, along with the complicating presence of the enticing Pigeon sisters; to a final and soul searching conclusion. “The Odd Couple” will run from June 2 to June 6 with curtain time at 7:30 p.m. at the Morfee Centre, School Road, Greenwood. Tickets are $8 and are available at both Middleton and Kingston Pharmasaves, at the door or call 902-840-3853.

It attracts people, it tells a story and this is your history and mine.”

Firefighters call for Pull the Pumper teams 14 Wing Greenwood Fire & Emergency Services firefighters are looking for challengers in the annual Pull the Pumper & Relay Event, to be held Thursday, June 25, at the CANEX parking area, Ward Road, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is a timed challenge, beginning with a pumper fire truck being pulled a distance of 40 feet by a sixmember team and then a relay race involving various modified firefighter tasks. Participants are asked to bring their own work gloves should they desire. Team registration will occur at 10:15 a.m. June 25, and the entry fee is 100 pounds of non-perishable food, collected by your organization between

now and the day of the event. As a donation bonus, each additional 25 pounds of food will allow your team to add extra members, to a maximum of 12. Each $15 in cash raised will decrease your event timings by one second – with no limit to seconds purchased. This event will assist the Upper Room Food Bank in Kingston, collecting donated non-perishable food items at a time when these items are in high demand - and very short supply. Water, food and refreshments will be available for competitors and spectators, for a charitable monetary donation. Contact Sergeant G.D. Townsend, 902-765-1494, local 5070; to find out more.

Health radiothon set for June 11, 12 June 11 and 12, from 7 a.m. into the day, volunteers will be on hand to take donations by phone or in person at Valley Regional Hospital for the annual Health in Harmony Radiothon. The Radiothon, supporting the hospital’s current fundraising campaign, will raise funds for three anesthetic machines, worth $135,000,

for the Surgery Department at Valley Regional Hospital. Tune into the AVR morning show with Mike Surette, beginning at 7 am, and listen to stories, interviews and fundraising announcements from generous individuals, service clubs and businesses. There are many ways to be involved in the Radiothon: donate, volunteer, share your

story about your positive experience at Valley Regional Hospital, organize a workplace fundraising event and announce your success on AVR as part of the telethon. Join volunteers and hosts June 11 and 12 in the lobby of VRH. For more information or to support the Radiothon, call 902-678-5414.

Fifty-two paramedics with between 20 and 40 years of experience caring for Nova Scotians were recognized for their service May 26 by Health and Wellness Minister Leo Glavine. “We have always relied on our highly trained paramedics to provide expert care in emergencies,” said Glavine. “More and more, they’re also taking an expanded role in our com-

munities, working in teams to improve and expand the care available across the province.” Paramedics and others who have provided emergency health services to Nova Scotians for 20 years or more are eligible for the Paramedic Long Service Award. The list of recipients includes Jonathan Akin, 20 years, Kentville; John Johnston, 20 years, Bridgetown; Michael Lockett,

20 years, Lawrencetown; Brad Reid, 20 years, Middleton; Chipman Wiles, 20 years, Annapolis Royal. Paramedics now provide primary care in some communities, working alongside family physicians and nurses. In the Halifax area, paramedics work in nursing homes to provide care to residents through the Extended Care Paramedic program.
