With files from 8 AMS

Sergeant Gregory Angelopoulos,Lead Auditor for QualityManagement (QM) System at 8Air Maintenance Squadron (8AMS), was awarded the 2010Airperson of the Year award at 413(Air Commodore Leonard Birc-hall) Wing, Air Force Associationof Canada’s 36th Wing CharterNight.

Sgt Angelopoulos’ extraordi-nary performance in 2010 not onlyhad a definite impact at 8 AMSand at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton butalso within the local community.

Sgt Angelopoulos graciouslyaccepted his award, for which he isgrateful for.

“Throughout my career therehave been many challenges butnothing has kept me from alwaysstriving to do the best that I cando,” he said during his acceptancespeech. “I would like to thank 8AMS for the nomination of such adistinguished award.”

He also acknowledged thecommitment and support hereceives from his wife.

“My beautiful and lovely wife isthe driving force behind me, andalways pushes me to better myself,”said Sgt Angelopoulos. “As they say,behind every good man is an evengreater woman.”

Sgt Angelopoulos also thankedthose who believed in him, includ-ing Lieutenant-Colonel Fernandes,Major Skirrow, Chief WarrantOfficer (CWO) West, CWOMuehlgassner, Warrant OfficerGuay, and Sgt Kennedy.

As his nomination stated, SgtAngelopoulos has exerted tremen-dous effort as Lead Auditor, inpreparing 8 AMS for the AircraftMaintenance Standards EvaluationTeam (AMSET) audit and, as aresult, resolved many systemicissues that may have adverselyaffected airworthiness.

Sgt Angelopoulos was a defini-tive leader during the AMSETAudit – a significant milestone dur-ing the tenure of any Commanding

Officer in charge of an aircraftmaintenance organization, whereserious ramifications can occur ifthe outcome is negative as it canaffect the Squadron’s ability to per-form airworthiness functions.Ensuring compliance is the respon-sibility of the QuarterManagement (QM) section.

Sgt Angelopoulos led the sec-tion in the review of approximate-ly 300 Squadron-wide workinstructions, ensuring their validi-ty, while training additional 8AMS auditors. His prolific impactwas apparent through the leader-ship that he provided to the entireSquadron, helping others tounderstand what was required ofthem, providing guidance toSenior Management which avert-ed any serious miscues.

This comprehensive process,with a one week intensive inspec-tion, resulted in an overallSquadron rating of above average.This excellent showing is primari-ly attributable to SgtAngelopoulos’ efforts.

Because of his extremely dedi-cated work ethic, he is alsorenowned within the QM field assenior auditors from 1 CanadianAir Division specifically requestedthat he assist in the training of newquality auditors from acrossCanada.

Recognizing the importance of8 Wing/CFB Trenton to the AirForce, Canadian Forces andCanada, he also volunteers to assistthe Wing Chief Warrant Officer(WCWO) assistant. As a recog-nized Wing secondary duty, duringthe absence of the WCWO assis-tant, he seamlessly organized tworepatriation ceremonies where hisduties included rifle drill instruc-tion, training of pallbearers andnumerous other responsibilities. Aknowledgeable expert in parades,he was also instrumental in thepreparation of 8 Wing personnelfor the funeral of an 8 Wing mem-ber at the National MilitaryCemetery in Ottawa.

Within the local community,Sgt Angelopoulos also displays arefreshing focus. He managed a

representational soccer team,requiring the coordination offundraising activities and provisionof a weekly article to two localnewspapers - the Trentonian andthe Belleville Intelligencer.

A very poised and intelligentindividual, Sgt Angelopoulosshines in front of audiences, mostrecently providing a briefing onmilitary careers and all that itentails to a group of Grade 10 stu-dents at Nicholson CatholicCollege, located in Belleville.

Presently, and in addition to hisalready challenging schedule, SgtAngelopoulos organized the 8AMS Mess Dinner, he is a work-place relations advisor and the 8AMS Health PromotionCoordinator.

This, among many otherattributes, is why SgtAngelopoulos is a true airmanwhose dedication far exceeds whatis expected of a Canadian Forces(CF) member. He personifies thecore values of the CF.

As Sgt Angelopoulos recentlyshared a quote he read from the

biography of Senator EdwardKennedy, which clearly sums uphis work values and beliefs.

“The greatest lesson that any-one can learn and I am a firmbeliever in is…If you persevere,stick with it, work at it, you have a

real opportunity to achieve some-thing,” he read. “Sure there will bestorms along the way, and youmight not reach your goal rightaway - but if you do your best andkeep a true compass you will getthere.”

It was far from a typical flight.The return Summerside-to-

Stephenville trip Monday offered jaw-dropping views, stomach churningdrops and turns and intense on-boardactivity that reached a crescendo withaction-like figures leaping from the air-craft.

I and Guardian photographer BrianMcInnis came along for the rocky rideon a search and rescue training exerciseaboard a beastly CC-130 Hercules.

A crew of 11 took flight with twopilots, including Island native SheldonWhite, one navigator, a load master anda search and rescue technician(SARTECH in the military’s acronym-filled jargon) all taking flight to learnthe ropes.

Maj. Kevin Tromp, a pilot with 426Squadron at CFB Trenton, says twocrews were put through a host of train-ing exercises over several days as theculmination of “a fairly intensive’’ searchand rescue program.

“The purpose of coming toSummerside was to take things thatthey had learned in kind of a ‘cannedsituation’ in Trenton and employ themto more real life - the kind of thingsthey’re going to see in an actual search,’’said Tromp.

On Monday morning, one crew tookoff for Newfoundland to simulate asearch for someone in peril in high ter-rain. The mountains just north of

Stephenville some of the highest ter-rain in Newfoundland proved a suit-able test.

Spotters positioned themselves on aseat facing one of two large windowsthat are situated on either side of theplane near the rear of the Herc.

A 30-minute or so seating offeredme the most spectacular view I haveever enjoyed peering through a plane’swindow (in this case one roughly four

feet high and two feet wide).The majestic mountains of rock that

appeared no more than a good stonethrow away (though in fact were nocloser than just under two kilometers Iwas assured) and the stunning ravinespassed vividly - and at times quitequickly in front of me as if appearingon a massive Omnimax screen.

The dizzying ride, however, resultedin my putting to use a little bag I was

handed at the start of the flight. (I didmanage to chow down for lunch a shorttime later with the crew).

White, 35, a native ofCharlottetown was being tested in thecockpit as he did contour flying whileshowing plenty of respect for takingcontrol of a four-engine fixed-wing tur-boprop aircraft in snow showers overmountainous terrain.See “Search and rescue exercises,” Page 11

He is preparing for his biggest night of the year andNORAD is getting ready to track his journey as heleaves the North Pole, bound for millions of homesacross the globe on the ever magical Christmas Eve.

The count down for Santa’s big arrival has official-ly begun.

In the days leading up to Christmas,www.noradsanta.org features daily holiday games andactivities in seven languages, English, French,German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Chinese.

Starting at 12:00 a.m. MST on December 24, vis-itors to the website will follow Santa as he gears up hissleigh, checks his list and makes his final preparations.Once he leaves the North Pole, children of all ages cantrack him with updated Google Maps and GoogleEarth reports.

NORAD Tracks Santa began on December 24,1955 when a local boy dialled a misprinted telephonenumber and reached the Continental Air DefenceCommand (CONAD) Operations Center inColorado Springs, Colorado.

The youngster asked Santa’s whereabouts and theofficer on duty gave him the information he was look-ing for. Thus began the tradition of tracking Santa,three years before NORAD itself was formed.

Santa fans will be able to track him throughFacebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr andTroopTube.mil.

Although children and adolescents are able tometabolize food faster than adults, it is no secret thatour young population is getting more inactive and asa result obese at a very young age.

This is why parents should try to get their chil-dren active and eating healthy to avoid the constantuphill battle that overweight adults face; a calorierestricted diet and consistent intense exercise.Puberty is crucial to this issue because this is whenwe accumulate our final number of fat cells in ourbody. Fat cells we have in our adult life do notchange in value (except in extreme obesity cases)they simply swell or increase in size as our healthylifestyle diminishes and our bodies slow down forvarious reasons.

When it comes to controlling or losing weight, itshould be noted that individuals who were slim andfit during their younger years should have an easiertime returning to their previous figures.

This theory is simply due to volume, if you accu-mulate more fat cells during adolescence, there aremore cells available to swell as an adult. This will alsomake it harder to lose weight, due to a larger numberof cells to decrease in size and easier to gain weightas there is more “storage space” for excess fat to enter.

The battle over obesity is not this easy and thereare many aspects as to how it occurs and how toeliminate or control it. But the more we know andunderstand our bodies, the greater chances we haveto reverse this epidemic and increase longevity.

Genetics, scientific research, pharmaceuticaldrugs and various other products claim to reduce

obesity and other health issues that result from aninactive lifestyle.

Lets not forget healthy eating and regular exerciseare the most natural and effective ways of preven-tion, maintenance and improvement.

The importance of a healthy childhood on weight control

par Ryan AbramsSpécialiste de l’exercice physique

BFC Trenton

Bien que les enfants et lesadolescents soient capables demétaboliser la nourriture plusrapidement que les adultes, on saitbien que nos jeunes sont de plus enplus sédentaires et, par conséquent,souffrent d’obésité à un plus jeuneâge.

Les parents devraient doncveiller à ce que leurs enfants soientactifs et qu’ils s’alimentent bienpour qu’ils n’aient pas à mener lalutte difficile et perpétuelle contrel’embonpoint à laquelle se livrentbon nombre d’adultes, par desrégimes alimentaireshypocaloriques et des séancesd’exercice intenses.

L’âge de la puberté est d’uneimportance capitale parce que c’estla période où nos corps créent laquantité finale de cellules

adipeuses. Le nombre de cellulesadipeuses ne change pas pendantnotre vie adulte (à part chez lespersonnes extrêmement obèses).Or, elles s’enflent, elles grossissent,à mesure que nous abandonnonsnotre mode de vie sain et que noscorps ralentissent pour diversesraisons.

En ce qui concerne le maintiendu poids ou la perte pondérale, ilfaut souligner le fait que lespersonnes qui étaient minces et enforme lorsqu’elles étaient plusjeunes devraient retrouver plusfacilement leur ancienne figure.

Cette théorie s’expliquesimplement par le volume decellules adipeuses. Si vous avezaccumulé un plus grand nombre decellules adipeuses pendantl’adolescence, vous avez plus decellules prêtes à se remplir, ce quirendra plus difficile la perte depoids, car vous aurez également unplus grand nombre de cellules à

rétrécir. Cependant, ce sera plusfacile de grossir, car vous avez plusde place où « entreposer » la graisseexcédentaire.

La lutte contre l’obésité n’est paschose facile. Il y a plusieurs aspectsdéterminant son occurrence et lamanière de l’éliminer ou de lamaîtriser.

Mais, mieux on apprend àconnaître nos corps, meilleuressont nos chances de renverser cetteépidémie et de rallonger nos vies. Ily a ceux qui prétendent – par lagénétique, la recherchescientifique, les médicaments etd’autres produits – pouvoir réduirel’obésité et d’autres problèmes desanté causés par la sédentarité.

N’oublions pas que lesméthodes de prévention,d’entretien et d’amélioration lesplus naturelles et les plus efficacesdemeurent toujours l’adoption debonnes habitudes alimentaires etl’exercice régulier.

The host team CFB Bordenalong with CFB Kingston, CFBNorth Bay, CFB Petawawa andCFB Trenton were the competitors.

Trenton arrived one man short asMajor Rick Sensabaugh had to missthe opening day due to work com-mitments. Sergeant John Hawman,Master Corporal Kim Doucette,Corporal Dallas Bentien, andCorporal Eric Doxsee arrived readyto put in a great effort to secure thechampionship.

After losing two of the first fourmatches and with CFB KingstonCFB Borden off to a great start, itwas catch up time early in day onefor Trenton.

After winning the last two gamesof the day Trenton held onto thirdplace after going 4 to 2. On day twoMaj Sensabaugh arrived and it wasthe spark Trenton needed.

Turning up the pressure Trentonwon all six matches on day two andeight matches in a row, the longeststreak of any competing team.

Coming out of day two Trentonheld onto top spot and never let it go.

For the championship, Trentonwent 12 to 4. Rookies Cpl EricDoxsee and MCpl Kim Doucettewere fierce competitors who neverlost their cool and were strong teamplayers throughout. Sgt JohnHawman and Cpl Dallas Bentienboth Gold medalists in the past,struggled throughout theChampionship but were goodenough to take High Single(Hawman 369) and High Triple(Bentien 804), both being selected tothe All Star team for their efforts.

A special thanks goes out toChuck Wilson (PSP Borden),Sergeant Bill Feeney (CFB Borden),Marilyn Deano (Proprietor CircledPine Lanes), and Mike the pin guy.

Without their assistance thiswould not have been as successfulchampionship as it was.

Job well done to all. Special mention to the runners-

up - CFB Kingston and to Sgt BillFeeney for High Average and All-Star, as well as LS Joe Ryan (CFBKingston) and MCpl Roger Bernier(CFB Borden) also named to theAll-Star Team.

If you lock yourself up with anair conditioner in summer, you’remissing all the action.

If it’s too hot or too cold out ofdoors, stay inside, but don’t just sitthere. A heated indoor pool feelsgreat in the middle of winter. Anair-conditioned gym is the coolplace to be during a heat wave.

And if you stay at home, youcan do all kinds of things that don’tneed special equipment: walk onthe spot, stretch, or lift weights.(You can use household items likecans of soup or milk jugs filledwith water as weights.)

If you stop being active, yourbody starts losing its shape aftertwo weeks. Two to eight monthsafter that, you’ll be completely out-of-shape. That’s why it’s importantto keep going year-round.

Can you really afford to have anoff-season?

The best way to stay activethroughout the seasons is to do lotsof different things. Try new activi-ties. There’s plenty to do in thewinter.

Think of the many ways youcan play in snow or on ice. In the

spring and summer, beaches, lakesand green fields create a naturalplayground. Fall is a great time toenjoy the spectacular colours thatOntario’s forests have to offer.

Year-round facilities mean youdon’t have to stick to nature’stimetable to enjoy your favouriteactivity: you can play hockey inJuly at an indoor rink, or spend an

afternoon at an indoor drivingrange in the middle of a snow-storm.

No matter what the weather,look for ways to get your bodygoing.

You’ll have a great time andyou’ll feel fantastic.

Modifiez vos activités avec les saisons : Un bon plan dematch. La température n’est pas une raison pour resterinactif.

Si vous «hibernez» pendant l’hiver et passez toutvotre temps sur le sofa, vous manquez tout le plaisir.

Durant l’été, si vous vous enfermez à l’airconditionné, vous passez à côté de l’action.

S’il fait trop chaud ou froid dehors, restez àl’intérieur, mais ne restez pas assis. Une piscineintérieure chauffée est magnifique en hiver. Pendant lacanicule, un gymnase avec air conditionné est unendroit parfait.

Et si vous restez à la maison, vous pouvez fairetoute sorte de choses qui ne demandent pasd’équipement particulier: vous pouvez marcher surplace, faire des étirements ou lever des poids. (Vouspouvez utiliser des articles domestiques comme desconserves ou des pots de lait rempli d’eau commepoids.)

Lorsque vous cessez d’être actif, votre corpscommmence à perdre sa forme après deux semaines.Deux à huit mois plus tard et vous n’êtes plus en formedu tout. C’est pourquoi il est important de rester actiftoute l’année.

Réellement, vous pensez pouvoir rester inactifpendant toute une saison?

La meilleure façon de rester actif est de faire deschoses différentes. Essayez de nouvelles activités. Il y abeaucoup à faire en hiver. Songez à toutes les façonsdont vous pouvez jouer sur la glace ou la neige. Auprintemps ou en été, les plages, lacs et parcs deviennentautant de terrains de jeu naturels. L’automne est letemps idéal pour admirer les magnifiques couleurs quenous offrent les forêts de l’Ontario.

Des infrastructures ouvertes toute l’année vouspermettent de jouir de votre activité préférée malgré lescaprices de Dame Nature: vous pouvez jouer auhockey en juillet sur une patinoire intérieure ou passerl’après-midi dans un terrain de golf intérieur en pleinetempête de neige.

Peu importe la météo, trouvez des façons de fairebouger votre corps. Vous aurez du plaisir et voussentirez en pleine forme.

That was $500 worth in food dona-tion, $3,045.00 from the barbecue lunch-es and canteen, $220 from a Christmasbasket (a raffle put together by Mrs.Peloquin for those wishing to purchasetickets for a chance to win a basket filledwith various gifts), and $1,098.03 raisedthrough Wing Coordinator of OfficialLanguages (WCOL) dress down andbook sale.

Tallying up the donations made sinceOctober 2006 brings the grand total offood bank donations to $11,063.00.

The need help feed local familiesthroughout the fall and winter months hasincreased over the years, and volunteers ofthe Trenton Care and Share Food Bankare extremely grateful for all the supportthey receive from a variety of sources, andthe personnel of 8 Wing/CFB Trentonhave always been extremely generous andsupporting the cause.

Air Force News

Following a rigorous selection process andmonths of preparation, five Canadian Forcespilots were introduced this week as the lat-est members of 431 Air Demon-stration Squadron, the “Snowbirds” at 15Wing Moose Jaw, Sask.

The newest squadron members are:-Snowbird 3: Capt Padruig MacIntosh

Edmonton, Alta.-Snowbird 6: Capt Denis Bandet of

Regina, Sask.-Snowbird 8: Maj Ryan Stich of

Toronto, Ont.-Snowbird 11: Capt Robert Chagnon of

Laval, Que.“It’s a great honour and privilege to be a

Snowbird,” said Maj Chris Hope, Snowbird1 and team lead. "For many of our newpilots, this moment is a fulfillment of achildhood dream and a culmination of yearsof training and flying experience with theCanadian Forces.”

While pilot selection for 2011 began inthe spring, they had not flown as an inte-grated, nine-plane formation until thismonth.

The new team is now preparing for theirfirst public appearance this weekend at theCanadian Football Champion-ship - the 98th Grey Cup.

During the 2011 season, the team isexpected to participate in about 60 air showsacross North America, representing the pro-fessionalism, skill and teamwork of the CFand inspiring Canadians to consider a careerin Canada’s military.

New team members for SnowbirdsNouvelles de la Force aérienne

Après un rigoureux processus de sélection etdes mois de préparation, cinq pilotes desForces canadiennes ont été présentés cettesemaine à la 15ième Escadre Moose Jaw(Sask.) en tant que nouveaux membres del’escadron 431, les Snowbirds.

Les nouveaux pilotes sont : Snowbird 3,Capitaine Padruig MacIntosh de Windsor(Ont. ); Snowbird 5, Capitaine Brett Parkerd’Edmonton (Alb.) ; Snowbird 6, CapitaineDenis Bandet de Régina (Sask.) ; Snowbird8, Major Ryan Stich de Toronto (Ont.);Snowbird 11, Capitaine Robert Chagnon deLaval (Qc)

« C’est un très grand honneur et un priv-ilège que d’être un Snowbird », a confié leMaj Chris Hope, Snowbird 1 et chef d’équipedes Snowbirds. « Pour plusieurs de nos nou-veaux pilotes, ce moment représente un rêvede jeunesse devenu réalité et le point culmi-

nant de plusieurs années d’entraînement et devol avec les Forces canadiennes. »

Bien que la sélection des nouveaux pilotespour la saison 2011 se soit déroulée plus tôtce printemps, ces derniers n’ont toutefois paseu l’occasion de faire partie d’une formationintégrée de neuf appareils avant novembre.Les membres de la nouvelle équipe se pré-parent pour leur première apparitionpublique qui aura lieu en fin de semaineprochaine lors de la 98ième Coupe Grey de laLigue canadienne de football à Edmonton(Alb.).

Durant la saison 2011, l’équipe desSnowbirds participera à près de 60 spectaclesaériens à travers l’Amérique du Nord. Elledémontrera le haut niveau de professionnal-isme, d’esprit d’équipe, et d’excellence qui estpropre aux femmes et aux hommes desForces canadiennes et inspirera les Canadiensqui seraient intéressés à entreprendre une car-rière enrichissante dans le militaire.

He was focused on trying to keep1,000 feet above the ground but,being in an unfamiliar environ-ment, he found he was missingsome of his turn points.

“The trick is to be able to rec-ognize when something is goingwrong and take the proper, correc-tive action,’’ said White, whojoined the Canadian Navy in 1994as a non-commissioned memberbefore enrolling in the officertraining program at the RoyalMilitary College and eventuallybecoming a pilot.

“At the heart of it, a pilot is justa good manager of information,’’he added.

“You know where your priori-ties are and you can manage all thisstuff coming at you.’’

White will soon have plenty ofstuff coming at him.

After this course, he will bequalified to be a first officer in the413 Squadron at CFB Greenwoodin Nova Scotia. He will co-pilotHercules aircraft for search andrescue missions.

In just two years, he should beupgraded to aircraft commander.

White doesn’t expect to waitlong for a call to action, probablywithin a week of getting back toGreenwood.

He says the altruistic side ofsearch and rescue appeals to him.

“You know that your job is outthere to help real people (that are)getting into real trouble,’’ he said.

“Some jobs you do in the mili-

tary you train your whole career fora job you will never get to do.Search and rescue is not one ofthose jobs.’’

Tromp described Monday’straining exercise as a good effortunder some challenging conditionssuch as the snow showers and lowcloud cover that reduced visibility.

“It’s not that it was overly diffi-cult,’’ he added.

“It’s just that when you com-bine the unfamiliar terrain, youcombine the weather elements, andfactor in that they really haven’tdone this stuff too many times, itwas definitely busy for the crewunder training.’’

On the return trip, SARTECHSgt. Shane McAleer was given thechance to strut his stuff.

McAleer, 45, of 426 Squadronat CFB Trenton has been a searchand rescue technician for sevenyears.

His jump Monday overSummerside off the ramp throughthe gaping hole in the back of theHerc was more for the benefit ofthe trainees on board than for him-self.

He was tasked with makingsure there was good coordinationbetween people working in theback of the aircraft and those in thefront end of the plane.

“It’s a team effort...if they’re notcommunicating effectively, thenfor one they are not finding theirtarget and two they might put theaircraft in danger,’’ said McAleer.

“Experience matters so much inthis business. It takes seconds tobring an aircraft down.’’

Capt. John Coffin, an air com-bat systems officer with the 426Transport Training Squadron,teaches technicians to operate andfix different aircraft components.

He was thrilled to be back inhis home province of P.E.I. fortraining exercises that saw the twocrews fly six out of seven daysstarting Nov. 18.

He even conducted one exerciseover his father’s farm in MountStewart.

Coffin spent the past weektraining and assessing an air com-bat system officer in search andrescue exercises based out ofSlemon Park, home to a former airbase.

All trainees on both crews suc-cessfully made the grade.

“It went very well,’’ Coffin saidof the week-long training exercis-es.

“It was very successful. It’salways up in the air in respect toweather and aircraft availability.’’

Tromp lauds Slemon Park forproviding excellent service withaccommodations right on the air-field.

“What’s nice for us is it has along runway but it’s not toobusy...so we have a the place a littlemore to ourselves,’’ he said.

“It’s kind of an ideal place tocome and do search and rescuetraining for us.’’

Feature

Next time you make scrambled eggs orFrench toast for breakfast, save theeggshells and use them for this funcraft.

Even small children will have funmaking “mosaics” with crushedeggshells they’ve tinted with food col-oring.

What you’ll need: Eggshells; foodcoloring; containers or paper/plasticcups; bounty® paper towels; construc-tion paper; liquid glue; crayons ormarkers (optional); plastic or rubbergloves (optional); and pencil.

Directions: Carefully wash out theeggshells. Remove the thin membranethat clings to the shell.

Mix the food coloring with water inthe containers you’re using. For boldercolors, use more food coloring.

Drop the eggshells in the food col-oring. The eggshells will take on adarker tint the longer you leave them inthe containers.

When the eggshells are sufficientlytinted, remove them from the contain-ers and place the shells on the papertowels to dry. (You may want to use

gloves for this!)When the shells are dry, crumble

them into small pieces. A slightly larg-er piece will give you more of a mosaiclook; however, it’s quicker and easier foryounger children to work with piecesthat have been more finely crumbled.

Use the liquid glue to make a designon the paper (or lightly draw a designin pencil first, and then cover it withglue).

Sprinkle the broken shells on theglue and the design will emerge!

Children may want to use crayonsor markers to write their name, or todedicate their picture to someone.

Creating beautiful Eggshell “Mosaics”

December 5- December 11

Theme of the week: The week has new beginnings and over-due endings. A new Moon in Sagittarius and a directUranus indicate movement in areas of life that felt wedged.Sudden insights, opportunities, and fresh revelations pouron us all. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Allen Ginsberg’s famouspoem “Howl” ends with the pronouncement of every-thing, the good, bad and disdainful, as ultimately holy.The experiences you are avoiding hold the seeds of abeautiful breakthrough. Try the thing you are resistingand it will quickly reveal great fortune.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You find the commonground you were looking for. You get the understandingyou were after. You feel the solidarity you longed for.However, before you get it, you have to ask for it. Startby being willing to talk and share what’s in your heart.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Real happiness radiatesfrom your core. It can’t be manipulated or faked by thebest actors and actresses in the world. You are done withpretenses and false personas. You admit what has beenbugging you for months. With the admission, comesgenuine contentment.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22): You can see the strongpotential between at least two possibilities. The line isblurring and you are not sure which light to walktowards. You can incorporate the best of both, but atleast one is approaching a breakthrough. Try not to havea preference and see which finds you.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): For months, you knew some-thing needed to change, but the exact solution wasn’talways obvious. This trend changes now. It’s great thatyou are finally feeling clearer about your goals, but doremember to enjoy where you are now. Great strides arepossible now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are dedicated and itshows. It is evident in the way you work hard towardsyour ambition. There may have been some confusion asto where you are heading. Now, as you take decided stepsforward, consider it fantastic progress on all fronts.

Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors(GFCIs) are little safety devices withbig potential. They can save you fromfatal electrical accidents.

A Ground Fault Circuit Interruptorcompares the amount of electricityflowing to the tool with the amountreturning. If there is a difference, theGFCI opens the circuit, thereforeshutting off power to the tool.

Equipment used near or in contactwith water is a leading cause of electri-cal accidents. GFCIs should beinstalled in any circuit where electricalequipment is used around moisture.

The most common cord-relatedhazard is stress to the internal wiringwhen strain relief fails.

This stress pulls back the insulationaround the individual conductors andexposes the bare leads.

In some cases, the exposed wirescontact the metal case, electrifying theentire machine.

In other cases, the wiring is pulledfree of its terminals allowing it to con-tact the housing. In both cases theoperator is exposed to the full 120Vpotential.

Even properly grounded equipmentcan pose a hazard when the groundingconductor is damaged by stress.

Ground Fault Circuit Interruptorscan be installed as a permanent part ofthe equipment, or furnished as anextension cord.

These are the main types of GFCIs:

IN-LINE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTORS

GFCIs installed directly on the equip-ment supply cord offer full time pro-tection to the equipment operator. Theunit is normally mounted about twofeet from the plug end of the cord set.In this way the GFCI can normally

rest on the floor with little or no extraweight at the plug.

At the same time, the major lengthof the cord is protected. The operator isalso protected in case the strain reliefon the protected equipment shouldfail.

RECEPTACLE TYPE GFCIS

These give you the advantage of beingable to share one GFCI for a numberof applications.

WATERPROOF GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTOR EXTENSION CORD SETS

The fully submersible cord mountedGFCI is the ideal answer where rain orheavy moisture is a factor. The unitscome with both a plug and receptaclemaking them useful as either a GFCIprotected extension cord or as a perma-nent supplies cord.

PANEL MOUNTED GFCIS

Mounting a GFCI into the equipmentitself places the controls near others andprotects it from the harder use it mightreceive if mounted on the supply cord.

A panel mounted GFCI does notprovide protection if the failure shouldoccur in the supply cord or if the strainrelief should fail.

Once you have installed a GFCI, itis imperative to retain a grounding wire.The ground system is an importantsafety feature and should always bemaintained and retested on a regularbasis.

Further, if a ground fault shouldoccur, the leakage current will passdown the ground wire and trip theGFCI usually without the operatorreceiving any shock.

GFCIs can save you from gettingthe shock of your life. Considerinstalling them to ensure your safetyand the safety of others.

(NC) — According tolegend, the Christmastree was first introducedto Canada long beforeConfederation, in 1781.

This first tree, deco-rated with white candles,was a balsam fir cut fromthe dense forest in theregion that is now the cityof Sorel-Tracy, Quebec.

Today, Canadians'decorative lighting ofchoice is LED holidaylights – in fact, accordingto Statistics Canada, 30per cent of Canadianhouseholds reportedusing them duringChristmas 2008.

Even though we're nolonger using lit candles astree ornaments, the riskof fire remains real.

Preventing them is assimple as ensuring thetree is regularly watered.

“Keep the treewatered,” said WayneRoss, insurance expert atAviva Canada. “It's ourmantra this time of year.Not only does it create afragrant indoor winterwonderland atmosphere,but a wet tree is a safertree.”

Here are some othersafety tips to help keepyour home not only fes-tive, but safe as well.

• When buying yourtree, make sure the nee-dles don't fall out whenyou bounce the tree onthe ground. These typesof trees tend to dry outvery quickly, meaning

they will also burn veryquickly.

• Don't overload elec-trical outlets with toomuch lighting and/orextension cords.

• Under no circum-stances leave a litChristmas tree unattend-ed. If you're out for theevening, be sure to unplugthe lights.

• Never place lit can-dles near your tree.

Enjoy your tree thisholiday season, but takethe steps necessary toensure it's safe and yourfamily and home are pro-tected. More informationis available from yourinsurance broker oronline at avivacana-da.com.

Oh Christmas tree, how fast can you burn?

(NC)—Injuries caused by falling flat-screen TVs and furniture are notuncommon. Take necessary precautionsby securing the heavy equipment with aTV wall mount or, if mounting is not anoption, a strap that connects both theTV and furniture to the wall.

Sanus offers mounts for nearly everyTV make and model, and provides ahelpful mount-to-TV compatibility toolonline at the company's website.

Mounting is the smartest way tokeep TVs out of reach, thus protectingyour family and guests. The next bestoption is to invest in a device that willkeep the TV fixed to furniture, reducingthe chance it would tip due to acciden-tal bumping or nudging.

Sanus also offers the ELM701, adurable, shock-resistant strap that pre-

vents tipping of both TVs and furnitureby providing a secure four-point con-nection: Twice to the back of the TV,once to the back of the furniture andonce to the wall.

Details can be found online atwww.sanus.com.

Chaplain Services

Planning to get married?If you are planning to get married in the Roman Catholic Church, on Base or off Base, the Catholic party must contact first the Wing Chaplain’s Offices at 613-392-2811, Ext 2490 to beginthe pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to provide you with time to take the pre-marriage class (which must be attended) and the padre to complete the marriagefile, which must be sent to the Military Ordinariate’s Chancery Office no less than three months prior to the wedding day. Please, keep in mind that pre-marriage classes are not offered fromMay to September. This is applicable to all members falling under Military Ordinariate’s jurisdiction; that means for all CF personnel and DND employees who are RC. The latter have thechoice between their Wing Chaplain’s Pastoral Services and their civilian parish’s. If a Catholic party wants to get married under the Rite of a particular Protestant denomination, the above stillapplies.

If the marriage file is not processed on time, the Wing Chaplain’s office will not be held accountable. Three months is the minimum time to process a canonical marriage file (to Ottawaand from the church of your wedding). If you belong to a Protestant denomination and you would like to get married at the Wing Chapel, you are asked to contact the chaplain of your denom-ination at the earliest convenient time.

Vous planifiez de vous marier?Si vous projetez de vous marier selon le Rite de l’Église catholique romaine, aussi bien sur la Base qu’à l’extérieur, la partie catholique doit en tout premier lieu communiquer avec les bureauxdes aumôniers de l’Escadre au #613.392.2811, poste 2490. Ce premier contact, qui enclenchera l’ouverture du dossier prénuptial, devrait être fait six mois avant la date de la célébration dumariage. C’est le temps minimum pour planifier la session de préparation au mariage (à laquelle les fiancés doivent participer et qui ne sont pas dispensées entre les mois de mai et septembre.)et de préparer le dossier de demande de mariage. Le dossier doit être envoyé au bureau du Chancelier de l’Ordinariat militaire du Canada, à Ottawa, au moins trois mois avant la date choisie.Ce qui précède s’applique à toute personne assujettie à la juridiction canonique de l’Évêque du Diocèse militaire du Canada; en d’autres mots, à tous les membres des FC et aux employés duMDN qui sont CR. Cependant, ces derniers ont le choix de faire appel aux services des aumôniers CR de l’Escadre ou de s’adresser au bureau du pasteur de leur paroisse civile. A noter que sila partie catholique veut se marier selon le Rite d’une Église protestante, ce qui précède s’applique encore.

Il importe également de prendre note que si le dossier prénuptial n’a pas été complété et envoyé dans les délais requis, le bureau de l’Aumônier de l’Escadre ne pourra être tenu responsablede toute complication et des coûts qui pourraient y être reliés. Trois mois précédant la date: voilà le temps souhaitable que les bureaux de l’aumônier et du chancelier ont besoin pour prépareret acheminer un dossier de demande de mariage.

Si vous appartenez à une Église de confession protestante et que vous souhaitez avoir votre célébration de mariage à la chapelle de l’Escadre, nous vous demandons de communiquer avecle padré de votre confession religieuse le plus tôt possible.

Reduce your gas, fire and smoke safety risks(NC)—The hustle and bustle of the hol-iday season can cause many Canadians toforget simple safety precautions designedto reduce holiday tragedies caused by gas,fire and smoke – three of the biggestthreats during the festive season.

CSA International, a leader in testingand certification, reminds Canadians ofthe following simple tips to ensure a safeholiday celebration:

• Fireplaces: Do not use your gas fire-place if the glass panel is removed,cracked or broken. Glass panels andframe assemblies should only be replacedby a qualified service professional. Whenpurchasing or installing a gas fireplace,check for the mark of an accredited certi-fication organization, such as the Flamemark from CSA International.Remember to keep pets and childrenaway from fireplaces (and other hot sur-faces).

• Carbon-monoxide alarms: Install atleast one carbon-monoxide (CO) alarmnear bedrooms. Use more than one COalarm if sleeping areas are located on dif-ferent levels of your home. Follow themanufacturer's instructions for installingand maintaining your CO alarms. When

purchasing a CO alarm, check for themark of an accredited certification organ-ization such as the certification Flameand CSA 6.19-01 reference mark fromCSA International.

• Smoke alarms: Test your smokealarms monthly. One smoke alarm is notenough; install them on every level ofyour home and outside all sleeping areas.Only working smoke alarms can give youthe precious seconds you may need toescape a fire.

• Combustible materials: Do not storecombustible materials such as gasoline,propane, paper, chemicals, paint, rags andcleaning products near your gas furnace.Gasoline or propane cylinders must bestored outside the home. Never use gaso-line or other flammable liquids anywherenear your gas furnace or water heater.Look for the familiar CSA Internationalcertification Flame mark on your gas-fired furnace or water heater to ensure ithas been tested and certified to the appli-cable standard. Have a qualified heatingcontractor perform a yearly maintenancecheck of your furnace and venting system.

(NC)—R-2000 is a voluntary standardadministered by Natural ResourcesCanada (NRCan) and is deliveredthrough a network of service organiza-tions and professionals across Canada.

Houses built to the R-2000Standard typically exceed the energyperformance requirements of the cur-rent Canadian building codes and arerecognized to meet a high standard ofenvironmental responsibility.

Key benefits of living in an R-2000certified home:

With R-2000, energy efficiency andconstruction details go hand in hand –you can't get one without the other. Best

of all, any new home of any design canbe built to the R-2000 Standard.

Comfort: Improved indoor air quali-ty, more consistent temperatures, fewermoisture problems and the use of envi-ronmentally responsible materials meanyear-round comfort.

Health: The quality of the air webreathe can affect our health. R-2000certified homes include clean air fea-tures that go beyond what regular build-ing codes require.

Peace of mind: R-2000 certifiedhomes go through a demanding certifi-cation process. Only trained andlicensed builders can build them.

Furthermore, every R-2000 certifiedhome is subject to independent inspec-tions and tests that conventional homesdon't receive. The R-2000 certificate isgovernment backed and supported asyour proof.

Energy savings: Want a house thatstretches your heating dollars further?The secret? – energy efficiency that is“designed in”, and not “added on”. R-2000 homes are some of the most ener-gy-efficient homes on the market, whichtranslates into savings on energy bills.

State-of-the-art technology: R-2000certified homes are the result of 25 yearsof intensive research and development

by the Government of Canada and itsindustry partners. Home buyers gettried and tested technology, a higher-quality new home and lasting value forthe future.

Protecting the environment: Withimproved building techniques andmaterials, homeowners get the personalsatisfaction of carrying out the duty toprotect our environment for future gen-erations.
