Cold, dark call to crash site

Launch of 24/ 7 family info line

Sara Keddy, Managing editor A snow-covered marsh, the darkness of night and -15 degree Celsius temperatures didn’t make a call January 22 any easier for 14 Wing Greenwood search and rescue crews, but “a guy needed our help,” reports Major Bill Wyss, 413 Transport and Rescue Squadron. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre called Greenwood crews into the emergency around 11 p.m. January 22, as an emergency locator transmitter was picked up and staff at the Fredericton airport answered a mayday call from the pilot of a small plane 10 miles northeast of the city. “We knew right then it was pretty serious.” A Hercules, overnighting in Sept-Iles because of the snowstorm, and a Cormorant from Greenwood were tasked, with the Cormorant taking off about midnight. Wyss said JRCC contacted them just beforehand with an exact longitude and latitude of the crash, based on triangulations from the victim’s cellphone. At that point, the Hercules was stood down. “We plugged those coordinates in and we were going right in. Ground crews from the local fire and police were already

Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services is pleased to announce the expansion of the Family Information Line service to 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to better serve all military families. The Family Information Line, at 1-800-866-4546, is a national service for all military families regardless of where they live and what questions they may have. Trained counsellors offer confidential, personal and bilingual assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Counsellors can help connect families with helpful national and local resources, in addition to connecting them to local military family resource centres, chaplains and other community service providers. This service helps contribute to our families being well supported and enhances the ability of Canadian Armed Forces members to be operationally ready and effective, and respond to changing needs of their families. For more information about the Family Information Line, please visit www.familyforce. ca or call toll free number 1-800-866-4546.

Fredericton emergency responders were on site as 413 Squadron SAR-Tech Sergeant Andre Hotton assisted with a plane crash call January 22. The crashed plane’s pilot was seriously injured, and hoisted by a 413 Cormorant crew to hospital. Courtesy Fredericton Fire Department heading there.” It took 40 minutes to travel the 90 miles, and the Cormorant landed in a marshy, snowcovered open area about 100 metres away from the crashed plane in the woods. “We could see it, and the lights from the emergency crews already there, so everything worked out really well.” Fredericton firefighters helped the SAR-Techs move

their gear to the scene through the terrain, and the victim was treated and bundled into one of the helicopter’s Stokes litters. “Instead of dragging him back through the woods, we opted to hoist him right from there,” says Wyss. All of this took about 40 minutes, and, once loaded, along with a Fredericton firefighter/ first responder, the Cormorant headed for the city hospital. It

landed in the RCMP yard, and an ambulance took the victim and the accompanying firefighter to hospital. “That’s not standard, but it’s nice to have one person with a patient the whole way through: he has all the answers and it saves a lot of phone calls through treatment. We can do it.” The crash victim was in serious condition and being treated

Screen story tells of real life PTSD Sara Keddy, Managing editor Marc Deveault knows all about the monsters, scary sights and hellish imaginations caught up in the plots of special effects-laden films. “Lord of Chaos” is different. “It’s real and fantastic at the same time - a metaphor, but it’s not what people think will be shown,” Deveault says. He and a team of filmmakers are aiming to start production in March of a short film, to be followed by a longer movie, based on Deveault’s own experiences as a medic with the Canadian Army in overseas postings including Haiti, Bosnia and Afghanistan. “Lord of Chaos” started out as a short film about post traumatic stress disorder, with

some of the real life scenarios Deveault witnessed included in the story of the fictional John, also a medic, who is a retired Afghan veteran whose marriage is crumbling, “he can’t fit in and he’s having flashbacks. “We called it ‘Lord of Chaos’ because that keeps bubbling up for him,” Deveault says. “You hear about police and firefighters dealing with PTSD, and soldiers – but people approach medics as maybe a ‘big brother’ and have a conversation, so that pressure is constant: you take care of everyone’s problems. The medic can have his own problems. This is close to home.” The only one who understands John in the film is his young daughter: “she sees right through it,” Deveault

says. Pat King of Halifax has worked with Deveault and they now have the fifth draft of the short film written – but it’s still “a constant mutation.” Producers Hank White and Darcy Lindzen are on board, and a Nova Scotia-based technical crew is being assembled for the filming. And, of course, Deveault’s specialty, the special effects he creates through his at-home company, DevoFX, in Melvern Square; are featured. A crowd funding campaign is targeting $7,000 of the $12,000 needed for the short on Indigogo (http://*www.indiegogo.com/ projects/lord-of-chaos) by March 7. The short will be shot between Windsor and Halifax in late March, followed by a month or so of post-

production, and then it will be shopped at film festivals to attract support for the fulllength feature. “In the short - and it’s so short, with a lot of information,” Deveault says, “we really want a rollercoaster: I personally guarantee, at the end, you’ll cry. It goes up and down, from angry to intrigued, to sobbing – that’s chaos. “If people see our movie and get fired up, and they go see someone for help with PTSD – even one person – that’s what we want. And, everyone should see it. There are a lot of families with members or friends who have served, and the fact this film is going to be done by a veteran instead of a producer in an artistic depart- Retired army medic Marc Deveault is turning his past ment – there’s a real connec- experiences and new skills as a special effects creator into a film full of the stories and chaos of PTSD.

14 Wing horse and recreation grounds gated Base ready to move on future of former saddle club Sara Keddy, Managing editor Visitors to the trails and grounds of the former 14 Wing Greenwood Horse and Recreation Club, Ward Road, are advised access to the property is now being restricted. The horse and recreation facility closed in the spring of 2011, but access to the 178-acre property’s network of paths and trails was not controlled. The main access off Ward Road will soon be gated, in preparation for the sale of the property. The Personnel Support Program formerly managed the facility on behalf of 14 Wing personnel and community users. “The horse and rec club was a great asset to the Greenwood military community for many years, but declining military involvement and ongoing fiscal

A property assessment has been completed and reviewed by the base, and the intent is to list the property for sale in early spring.

Shared Services marks success Captain Brian MacLean, Shared Services Unit (Atlantic) In May 2012, the Department of National Defence created a new military formation, the Canadian Forces Shared Services Group (CFSSG), commanded by Colonel Martin Girard; along with four regional Shared Services Units (SSUs). Shared Services Unit (Atlantic) is commanded by

Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Malo, headquartered in Bedford, Nova Scotia. The Atlantic unit is comprised of 47 Canadian Armed Forces personnel, 10 of which are located at its headquarters, with the remaining 37 located at subunits in Gagetown, Greenwood, St. John’s, Shearwater, Halifax and Gander. Since October 2012, these detachments and sections have made great progress towards becoming fully operational

shows one day, followed by another evening’s more informal jam session at the Arctic Club, when station members sang and played alongside the professional musicians and singers. That is what we call “having the music in you.” Everyone had a blast. From “Eight days a week” by the Beatles to “Caline de Blues” by Offenbach, all of the performers brought joy to the CFS Alert personnel. How can anyone resist laughing at Will Davis’s peculiar humour, especially when he comes on stage dressed in only a jockstrap? CFS Alert’s chief clerk, Corporal Laurie Hillier (from 14 Wing Greenwood), summed it up: “the show tour was an awesome time, with many talented musicians and singers - especially the fiddle playing of Ian Cameron. It was an experience that I will never forget.” These performances, organized by the Director General Morale Welfare Services and supported by escort Lisa Cameron, were extremely well received. Not only did the performers entertain during their show, but they also added to the enjoyment at the station’s bar and during various station activities. Some of their antics included calling out false bingos and extending an evening of socializing with station members by deciding to go bowling at 3 a.m.

Protect against CO poisoning 14 Wing Fire and Emergency Services 14 Wing Fire and Protective Services Fire Chief Bruce Paradis would like to remind everyone about the possibility of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. With recent inclement weather and resulting power failures, there are more and more homeown-

ers using portable generators. If not properly installed and sited, a running generator has the capacity to cause CO poisoning in a relatively short period of time - especially when run in an enclosed space adjacent to an occupied home, such as a garage. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colourless gas that can

cause sudden illness and death if inhaled. It is produced by internal combustion engines, wood fires, the burning of charcoal, propane-fired equipment and other sources. The most common mistake made when running portable generators or gas-fired equipment is the proximity to open windows, doors, vents or en-

closed spaces. Any opening can allow CO gas to enter an enclosed space; even leaving the garage door open while equipment is being run does not guarantee CO will not build up to dangerous levels. Exposure to CO may cause loss of consciousness and death. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache,

dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. People who are sleeping or who have been drinking alcohol could die from CO poisoning before ever having symptoms. There are some simple steps you can take to eliminate the risk of CO poisoning. Never use any type of fuel-burning appliance not designed for use in an

enclosed space, and make sure it is properly exhausted. Propane or charcoal barbecues and propane or naphtha lanterns/ stoves should not be used inside a home or garage. Additional information may be obtained from 14 Wing Fire and Emergency Services, 765-1494 locals 5105, 1673 or 5149. Stay smart, stay safe.

Base’s train connections come to ‘life’

Train 1 from Halifax to Yarmouth stops in Kingston while 712 heads out on patrol Paul Charland Before the government of Nova Scotia built the new highway through the Annapolis Valley, the Dominion Atlantic Railway was the primary source for freight transportation. Freight from the west was picked up at Truro, along with freight from Halifax, and carried by the railway as far south as Yarmouth. CFB Greenwood was served by a spur that began near the intersection of highways 101 and 201 that ran to the petroleum, oils and lubricant compound on the active side. A second spur ran from the south end of Kingston, and served the heating plant, the C.E. section and base supply. Rail activity was usually preformed in the late evening or at night, so most of

Paul Charland’s Dominion Atlantic Railway line through CFB Greenwood is a simulated world, representing the 1970s’ trains that served the base and the wider Valley community. Submitted us never saw the train - just the cars on a siding during the day. A few years ago, my brother gave me Microsoft Train Simulator for a Christmas present. After operating a few routes that came with the sim and downloading a few other routes

in the evenings when a train was going through Kingston plenty of times. If I was paying attention to the time I was able to see the Dayliner go by the old MicMac Cabins (across from the library of the West Kings District High School) in the winter when the leaves were off the trees. I later took a course at what was then the Kings County Regional Vocational School once a week,

and saw the Kentville yard on a regular basis. Now, I’m recreating that on the computer. One of the more interesting locations on the route has to be CFB Greenwood. It has been a long time but, after looking over Google and Bing satellite images, going through our old photos and what I could find on the internet, I think I have a pretty accurate recreation of mid-‘70s Greenwood. A lot has changed from when we lived there: some of the old hangers have been torn down, other buildings are no more and new ones have been added. The Lancaster in front of the old rec centre was a bit of a challenge, and several Mk I and II Argus were a bit harder. After the static aircraft were drawn, I went back to my first goal: to see an Argus fly again! In MSTS, an aircraft is nothing more than another engine - and an engine needs tracks to run on, so the first thing was to place tracks down the center of a runway, only 400 feet below the surface. A flight path was laid out so the aircraft would start out of sight, come in over Bridge Street, land on Runway 09, then taxi to the front of 11 Hanger. Well… it actually worked! A second flight path was added from Greenwood to Middle-

ton and back so, if you are running a train between those two points, there’s a good chance you’ll see an aircraft fly by. The Dominion Atlantic may be gone and Greenwood has changed along with the rest of the Valley. It won’t be long before people have no idea there was once a vibrant railway that served the area. Recreating the past in a train simulator is a little like preserving a piece of Nova Scotia’s history – and maybe a little of my history as well. Anyone interested in learning more about the Dominion Atlantic or train simulators in general may visit the DAR Wiki at http://www.dardpi.ca/. This is a website operated by another Air Force brat from the Greenwood area, Steven Meredith. The site includes railway history, a collection of photographs and a discussion group for sharing information. Paul Charland lives in Brockville, Ontario. His father was stationed in Greenwood from 1970 to 1977. Charland’s nostalgic “trip” drawing the simulated Greenwood base and the surrounding communities’ rail links is a work in progress. He may be reached at p.charlie@ sympatico.ca.

off the internet, I learned how to create my own. I created a few smaller routes before starting to work on a mid-1970s version of the Dominion Atlantic. I hadn’t seen very much of the road while living in Greenwood in the ‘70s, but I heard the train whistle “735 clear to land, runway 09...”. Wait! This is a train sim!

14 Wing Library | Serving those who read Judy McCool & Joanne Sealby, 14 Wing Greenwood Library Cab·in fe·ver: noun informal: irritability, listlessness and similar symptoms resulting from long confinement or isolation indoors during the winter; an unhappy and impatient feeling that comes from being indoors for too long. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we strongly recommend you head in to the 14 Wing Library and pick up a book. Transport yourself to another world

and chase away those winter blues. Or, borrow a DVD or two from our large selection for both children and adults. This is the time of year to catch up on your “when I get a round tuit” reading! February is Black History Month, which promotes the knowledge and celebration of African Heritage. From 1605, with the arrival of Mathieu Da Costa as part of the expedition that founded Port Royal; to 2006, with the appointment of Whitney Pier native Mayann Francis as lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia; our

province has a rich heritage to be celebrated. We recommend Lawrence Hill’s “Someone Knows My Name,”earlier published as “The Book of Negroes.” It is the story of Aminata Diallo, kidnapped as a child from Africa and enslaved in South Carolina, but who later escapes during the chaos of the revolutionary war. In Manhattan, she becomes a scribe for the British, recording the names of blacks who have served the king, and earned freedom in Nova Scotia. But the hardship and prejudice there prompt

her to follow her heart back to Africa, then on to London, where she bears witness to the injustices of slavery. It is a story that no listener - and no reader - will ever forget. Several other titles and movies are featured in our “Black History Month” display. February also means the start of the XXIII Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Canada’s elite winter athletes will be riding a wave of momentum into the games, following the unprecedented 26-medal performance four years ago in Vancouver. The

2014 team is poised for even greater success, thanks to the combination of returning medalists, rising stars and the addition of several new events in which Canadian athletes have proven internationally strong. The games officially begin February 7. The library has a good selection of books which detail some of the winter sports featured at the Olympics, especially the very Canadian hockey. The library is a great place to stop and take some time to browse and enjoy an oasis of

calm in our busy lives. Open every day except Thursday and Saturday, membership is free to those with a valid Community Recreation Card. For details, check out the 14 Wing Greenwood Community Centre recreation facilities details at www.cfpsa.ca, where you can also find a link to the library’s database of titles. Give us a call at 7651494 local 5430, or contact us by email at librarystaff@ eastlink.ca. Reading opens doors… come open the doors to 14 Wing Library.

la lecture d’un livre que vous remettez toujours à plus tard. Le mois de février est le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs, qui vise à faire connaître et à célébrer le patrimoine africain. En Nouvelle-Écosse, ce patrimoine est d’une grande richesse, depuis l’expédition de Mathieu Da Costa en 1605, qui mena à la fondation de Port Royal, jusqu’à la nomination de Mayann Francis, de Whitney Pier, à titre de lieutenante-gouverneure de la Nouvelle-Écosse en 2006. Nous recommandons la lecture du livre intitulé Aminata (dont le titre anglais est Someone Knows My Name, d’abord publié sous le titre The Book of Negroes). C’est l’histoire d’Aminata Diallo, enlevée en Afrique alors qu’elle était enfant et devenue esclave en Caroline du Sud, qui réussit à s’échapper durant le chaos de la

Révolution américaine. À Manhattan, elle agit comme secrétaire pour les Britanniques et tient le registre des Noirs qui, après avoir servi le Roi, ont retrouvé la liberté en Nouvelle-Écosse. Les épreuves et les préjugés la poussent à écouter son cœur et à retourner en Afrique, avant de se rendre à Londres, où elle témoigne de l’injustice de l’esclavage. Il s’agit d’une histoire que les lecteurs n’oublieront jamais. D’autres livres et films sont mis en évidence dans notre présentoir sur le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs. C’est en février également qu’auront lieu les XXIIIe Jeux olympiques d’hiver, à Sotchi, en Russie. Les meilleurs athlètes canadiens se rendront en Russie portés par le souvenir de l’exploit réussi il y a quatre ans, à Vancouver, alors que le Canada avait
