Dr. Jane Brooks looks at the challenges of adding a large number of new – and unique – patients to her work day, but considers it worth it.

“It’s been professionally sat-isfying to know we’re meeting a community need,” she says of the partnership that makes the Greenwood/ Kingston Family Health Clinic in Greenwood work.

14 Wing Greenwood Wing Ad-ministration Offi cer Heber Gillam says the “outstanding partner-ship” now in place is a model across the Canadian Forces.

“The ability to help families fi nd medical services makes 14 Wing stand out.”

The clinic opened in the fall of 2009, a targeted project from 14 Wing Greenwood and Annapolis Valley Health to provide health care to military dependents. Jo-Anne Wentzell, the director for primary health for AVH, says the joint effort has made a difference from the day the clinic opened.

“When you’re a military mem-ber and posted, your health care is included – but your family’s is not,” Wentzell says. “The base had identifi ed that as a need, and it had been identifi ed for a very

long time.”The worry of fi nding a family

doctor in a new community is an extra pressure for military families. With the support of 14 Wing, AVH and the provin-cial Department of Health, the collaborative clinic opened on School Street, part of the Morfee complex. Now, there are three doctors sharing daily duties, with the support of a family practice nurse, two nurse practitioners, a half-time dietician and access to addictions counselling and a psychologist. Staff also support the Middleton and Bridgetown collaborative practices.

“We weren’t able to take in military families,” Brooks says: in the past, local doctors’ of-fi ces would take the calls, and maybe be in a position to take on people with chronic conditions or young children. “We’d squeeze them in.”

LeeAnn White-Young is a nurse practitioner in the Green-wood clinic.

“When we opened, there were a huge number of initial visits, and we were taking the histories and getting to know the patients. It has been hard to track people – they are posted, and we may not have marked their fi les – but we could be seeing about 1,000

Joignez-vous à des gens dont la mission est d’améliorer la qualité des relations profes-sionnelles.

Michael Leiter (Ph.D.), direc-teur du centre de recherche-développement organisation-nel de l’Université Acadia, est mondialement connu pour ses travaux sur l’investissement des employés dans leur travail et sur le revers de la médaille, le surmenage professionnel. Il admet qu’il est agréable d’être important, mais estime qu’il est plus important d’être agréable et ses recherches étayent ce qu’il avance.

Existe-t-il une vie meilleure? Une remarque cassante, un regard de mépris, voire du ressentiment à l’endroit d’un

collègue qui conserve de la nourriture épicée dans le ré-frigérateur du coincuisine et il n’en faut pas plus pour trans-former le milieu de travail en zone de guerre! Michael Leiter (Ph.D.) estime qu’un milieu de travail négatif se caractérise par une culture d’incivilité. Il a énormément travaillé avec des organisations de divers coins du monde sur la question de la santé en milieu de travail. C’est un domaine dans lequel vous pouvez faire beaucoup en tant que personne et beaucoup aussi en tant que leader.

Êtes-vous un gestionnaire soucieux de son milieu de tra-vail et des gens qui en font par-tie? Êtes-vous un employé qui souhaite améliorer sa vie pro-

fessionnelle ou qui se demande pourquoi les gens n’arrivent pas à s’entendre? Souhaitez-vous connaître maintenant une meilleure expérience profes-sionnelle? Si vous avez répondu oui à l’une de ces questions, cet atelier est pour vous.

Cet atelier instructif se tiendra le jeudi 22 mars, de 8 h 30 à 15 h au centre de formation Birchall, salles de classe 8 et 9. L’atelier est ouvert aux civils, aux employés des FPN et aux militaries. Pour réserver une place, veuillez adresser un cour-riel à +14 Wg LCC@Greenwood. Cet atelier est présenté en association avec le Service d’administration de l’Escadre et le Centre d’apprentissage et de carrière.

Civility in the workplace

La civilité dans le milieu de travail

Join others who share a mission to improve the quality of working relationships.

Director of Acadia Univer-sity’s Centre of Organizational Research and Development . Dr. Michael Leiter, is a world-renowned researcher on em-ployee engagement and its fl ip side, employee burnout He recognizes it’s nice to be important, but it’s more

important to be nice - and he has done the research to back up that claim.

Does a better work life ex-ist? A curt comment, a look of contempt or even resent-ment about a co-worker who keeps pungent food in the lunchroom fridge can be all it takes to turn a workplace into a war zone. Leiter believes a negative work environment

is characterized by a culture of incivility. He has worked extensively with organizations around the world to address issues of workplace health. There’s a lot you can do as an individual; there’s a lot you can do as a leader.

military dependants here a year. Many is the day you see a person for the fi rst time.”

The clinic starts its day with a group meeting of the health care team on duty, and conversations are shared about patients expect-ed, particularly those with special needs. Patients themselves may book their own appointments, either with a specifi c health care provider or in the general sched-ule, but they start their visit with the family practice nurse to talk about their medical history. From the clinic, patients may be sent for tests, specialist appointments or other related health services.

Brooks says each member of the clinic’s team brings a

special interest to the patient load, whether it’s family services, obstetrics or paediatrics, coun-selling or senior care. Along with the outside resources available, the Greenwood clinic is now a model of what a collaborative practice can accomplish.

“Our practices have changed over the years,” says Brooks. “Frequently.

“Care doesn’t. I got involved because this is a huge com-munity need, and it’s one of our responsibilities as a physician to respond to need.”

The clinic is not without its challenges: another physician would be ideal. Adding resources and partnerships, including stronger mental health services, would be great. Clinic staff is

very aware of the local fran-cophone population, and does what it can to accommodate French-speaking families. Staff would like to do more. Equip-ment, administrative support and offi ce essentials are always a concern, with health care centres in Berwick and Middleton seem-ingly so close. And there is an as yet unaddressed call to support Reserve members and retired military members.

“But, it’s worth it,” says Brooks. “We are accessing and serving a population that needs us.”

The Greenwood/ Kingston Family Health Clinic is open for military dependants Mondays through Thursdays. For informa-tion, contact 765-6340.

The Greenwood/ Kingston Family Health Clinic has “worked from the get go,” says Dr. Jane Brooks, meeting the health care needs of military dependants in the community.

Centre de santé familiale : contribuer à l’amélioration de la santé des membres de la collectivité

en référence au partenariat qui garantit le bon fonctionnement du Centre de santé de la famille de Greenwood-Kingston.

L’officier d’administration de la 14e Escadre Greenwood, Heber Gillam, dit que le « parte-nariat exceptionnel » présente-ment en place est un modèle dans l’ensemble des Forces canadiennes.

« La 14e Escadre se distingue par sa capacité à aider les

familles à trouver des services médicaux ».

Ouvert à l’automne 2009, le Centre de santé de la famille de Greenwood-Kingston est un projet ciblé de la 14e Escadre Greenwood et Annapolis Valley Health (AVH) visant à offrir des soins de santé aux personnes à charge des militaires. Jo-Anne Wentzell, directrice des soins de santé primaires d’AVH, af-fi rme que les efforts conjugués ont permis de réels progrès depuis que la clinique a ouvert ses portes.

« Lorsque vous êtes un militaire et que vous êtes af-fecté, vos soins de santé sont couverts, mais pas ceux des membres de votre famille. La base a considéré cela comme un besoin et ce, depuis long-temps ».

Le souci de trouver un méde-cin de famille dans une nouvelle collectivité constitue une pres-sion supplémentaire pour les familles des militaires. Avec le soutien de la 14e Escadre, d’AVH et du ministère provin-cial de la Santé, la clinique col-laborative a ouvert ses portes sur la rue School, dans le Cen-tre AVM Morfee. Aujourd’hui, trois docteurs se partagent les tâches quotidiennes, aidés d’une infi rmière de famille, de deux infi rmières praticiennes, d’une diététiste à demi-temps, et avec un accès à des services de counselling en matière de toxicomanie et à un psycho-logue. Le personnel soutient également les pratiques col-laboratives des centres de Middleton et Bridgetown.

« Nous n’étions pas en mesure d’admettre les familles des militaires », indique Brooks : par le passé, les cabinets de médecin locaux prendraient les appels et seraient peut-être en mesure de d’accepter les per-sonnes souffrant d’affections chroniques ou les jeunes en-fants. « Nous les aurions in-sérés ».

LeeAnn White-Young est in-fi rmière praticienne à la clinique de Greenwood.

« Lorsque nous avions ou-vert de la clinique, il y avait un nombre considérable de visites initiales, et nous recueillions les antécédents médicaux des patients et cherchions à mieux les connaître. Le suivi des patients était diffi cile – ils pou-

vaient être affectés sans qu’on puisse inscrire cela dans leur dossier – mais nous avons pu examiner ici environ 1 000 per-sonnes à charge par an. Pour bon nombre d’entre eux, c’est la première fois qu’on les voyait ».

La journée à la clinique com-mence par une réunion de groupe de l’Équipe de soins de santé de service, suivie d’échanges de conversation sur les patients attendus, sur-tout ceux qui ont des besoins spéciaux. Les patients eux-mêmes peuvent inscrire leurs propres rendez-vous auprès d’un fournisseur de soins de santé ou dans le calendrier général, mais ils débutent leur visite par une rencontre avec une infi rmière de famille afi n de parler de leurs antécédents médicaux. On peut ensuite recommander aux patients d’aller passer des examens, de prendre des rendez-vous avec des spécialistes ou de se rendre dans d’autres services de santé connexes.

Brooks souligne que chaque membre de l’équipe de la cli-nique accorde un intérêt à la charge du patient, qu’il s’agisse des services à la famille, des services d’obstétrique ou de pédiatrie, des services de coun-selling ou des services de soins aux personnes âgés. Bénéfi ciant également des res-sources externes disponibles, la clinique de Greenwood est désormais un modèle de ce qu’une pratique collaborative peut accomplir.

« Nos pratiques ont changé au fi l des ans. Fréquemment. Ce n’est pas le cas des soins de santé. Je me suis impliquée, parce que les besoins de la collectivité sont immenses, et l’une de nos responsabilités en tant que médecin, c’est d’y répondre », affi rme Brooks.

La clinique n’est pas sans défi : un autre médecin serait souhaitable. L’ajout de res-sources et de partenariats, notamment des services de santé mentale renforcés, se-rait excellent. Les membres du personnel de la clinique sont tout à fait conscients de la présence de la population locale francophone, et font de leur mieux pour répondre aux besoins des familles franco-phones. Ils aimeraient faire davantage. L’équipement, le soutien administratif et les ar-ticles essentiels de bureau sont toujours une préoccupation, avec les centres de soins de santé de Berwick et de Middle-ton apparemment si proches. Sans oublier la question non encore résolue du soutien aux réservistes et aux militaires à la retraite.

« Mais cela en vaut la peine. Nous examinons et offrons des services à une population qui a besoin de nous », conclut Brooks.

Le Centre de santé de la fa-mille de Greenwood-Kingston est ouvert aux personnes à charge des militaires du lundi au jeudi. Pour de plus amples renseignements : 765-6340.

There are lots of reasons to look at energy use and sustainability in a military operation.

There are also lots of reasons why the Royal Canadian Air Force’s ability to do it in an organized, deter-mined way have been a challenge.

“At different times and different bases over the years, people have tried energy reduction programs,” says Steve Sauveur, 14 Wing Green-wood’s wing environmental offi cer. “People look around and say, ‘We build to LEEDS standards, how come we don’t see any savings?’ There’s lots of reporting, but few programs. Why doesn’t it happen?”

That’s changing, as the Air Force puts into action its 2010 Environ-mental Sustainability Implementa-tion Plan. An Air Force sustainability group, with representation from bases across the country, is look-ing at building, air fl eet and vehicle energy use to help the Air Force meet the Department of National Defence’s goal of reducing green-house gas emissions from 2012 to 2022 to 10 per cent below a 2005 baseline (a Treasury Board require-ment under the federal Sustainable Development Strategy). Looking at everything from heating plants to lights, boilers to ground vehicles, Sauveur says the national initiative

is “becoming rigourous.“Fiscal restraint is back in vogue,

and there are reasons to do it.”Energy awareness can pay off,

studies show. In Greenwood, for example, a 16 per cent reduction in heat and light costs – close to $6 million in 2011 – frees up an eye-catching $936,000. Sauveur says that is doable: and it’s less expensive and more effective in the long run.

“You could spend a lot on tech-nology for a little payback,” he says, describing major mechanical or electrical upgrades. “Or, you could spend a little and change people’s behaviour.”

Nationally, the Air Force will con-duct more extensive building evalu-ations, starting with a pilot project in Comox. Sauveur expects it will be some time before Greenwood’s facilities are inventoried and scored. The results of the program will point out buildings that need renovation or even replacement, and where long building life remains.

“Rather than wait,” Sauveur says, Greenwood is now working with Nova Scotia Community Col-lege students from the Middleton campus’ energy sustainability and engineering technology program.

“The students need a project for their course, and we’ll know the equipment and condition of a number of our buildings when the

1 Canadian Air Division team does arrive. We’ll be able to hand them a stack of information to use as a baseline.”

Students have been working in pairs around headquarters – the most easily identifiable “office building,” where there are industry sustainability and effi ciency stan-dards that can be applied; they’re looking at the cost effi ciency of a window replacement renovation in headquarters. They’re recording mechanical, ventilation and heating use; looking at building “envelopes” – the roof, cladding, insulation; and taking thermal imaging pictures outside to identify building heat loss. While they evaluated replacing all the streetlights on base with new LED systems, Wing Construction & Engineering has also been involved with Effi ciency Nova Scotia on a similar goal.

While the students will be marked for their course work, Sauveur and wing staff can make use of some early data, and either make reno-vation or general practice changes part of the base’s business plan, or have it in hand for the long-term evaluation higher headquarters will develop. Sauveur says more data will come from a fi ve-week student placement later this spring, and he hopes to be able to fi nd summer jobs for two students: “we’ll do as many buildings as we can.”

Sustained energyBase getting early start on CF green plan

Sara Keddy, rédactrice en chef

Il existe de nombreuses raisons d’examiner la question de l’économie de l’énergie et de la durabilité dans le cadre d’une opération militaire.

Il existe également de nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles l’Aviation royale canadienne n’est pas parvenue à le faire de façon organisée et résolue.

« Au fi l des ans, à différents reprises et dans différentes bases, on a essayé de mettre en place des programmes d’économie de l’énergie. Les gens regardent autour d’eux et disent : “ Nous avons établi les critères de la norme LEED. Pourquoi nous ne voyons aucune économie? ”. Il existe de nombreux rapports, mais peu de pro-grammes. Pourquoi nous n’y arrivons pas? », affi rme Steve Sauveur, offi cier de l’environnement de la 14e Escadre de Greenwood.

Mais les choses sont en train de changer depuis que la Force aérienne a adopté son Plan de mise en œuvre de la durabilité de l’environnement de 2010. Un groupe de durabilité de la Force aérienne, composé de représentants des bases de tout le pays, a été mis sur pied pour examiner la consommation d’énergie des bâtiments, de la fl otte aérienne et du parc automobile afi n de contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs du ministère de la Défense nationale de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 10 % entre 2012 et 2022, en-deçà du niveau de vase de 2005 (une exigence du Conseil du Trésor énoncée dans le cadre de la Stratégie fédérale de développement durable). Portant sur tous les domaines, notamment les installations de chauffage, les lumières, les chaudières, les véhicules d’aéro-drome, Sauveur affi rme que l’initiative nationale est « devenue rigoureuse. La réduction budgétaire est revenue à la mode, à juste titre ».

La sensibilisation à l’énergie peut être payante, comme le montrent des études. À Greenwood, par exemple, une réduction de 16 % des coûts de chauffage et d’éclairage − environ 6 millions de dollars en 2011 – per-mettent de dégager le montant remar-quable de 936 000 $. Sauveur affi rme que c’est faisable, moins coûteux et plus effi cace à long terme.

« Vous pouvez investir considéra-blement dans la technologie et obtenir peu de résultat », dit-il, en décrivant les mises à niveau importantes des sys-tèmes mécaniques et électriques, ou « vous pouvez investir peu et changer les habitudes des gens ».

À l’échelle nationale, la Force aé-rienne effectuera plus d’évaluations d’édifi ces, à commencer par le projet pilote à Comox. Pour Sauveur, il faudra un certain temps avant que les installations de Greenwood ne soient inventoriées et notées. Les résultats du programme permettront de désigner les édifi ces qui doivent être rénovés, voire remplacés, et où se situe la durée de vie de service à terme de l’édifi ce.

« Plutôt que d’attendre », affi rme Sauveur, Greenwood travaille avec les étudiants du programme Energy sus-tainability and engineering technology du Nova Scotia Community College.

« Les étudiants ont besoin d’un projet dans le cadre de leur cours, et nous saurons l’état de fonctionnement de l’équipement et l’état de nos édifi -ces lorsque l’équipe de la 1re Division aérienne du Canada arrivera. Nous serons en mesure de leur remettre une pile d’information qui pourra leur servir de base ».

Les étudiants travaillent en équipe de deux dans les parages du Quartier général – l’édifi ce à bureaux le plus facile à identifier, où des normes d’effi cacité et de durabilité énergé-tique peuvent être appliquées. Ils effectuent une analyse coût-effi cacité de la rénovation/du remplacement des fenêtres des édifi ces du Quartier général. Ils recueillent des données sur la consommation des systèmes électriques, de ventilation mécanique et de chauffage, examinent l’enveloppe de l’édifi ce – la toiture, le bardage et l’isolation, prennent des images ther-miques à l’extérieur afi n de déceler la perte de chaleur de l’édifi ce. Ils ont évalué le remplacement de tous les réverbères de la base par de nouveaux systèmes à DEL, tandis que le service Génie construction de l’escadre a col-laboré avec Effi ciency Nova Scotia à l’atteinte d’un but similaire.

Pendant que les étudiants seront notés pour leurs travaux du cours, Sauveur et le personnel de l’escadre pourront exploiter certaines données initiales, et faire des rénovations ou des changements à la pratique gé-nérale une partie du plan d’activités de la base, ou l’avoir en main pour l’évaluation à long terme que les états-majors supérieurs élaboreront. Sauveur indique que d’autres don-nées seront produites dans le cadre d’un placement d’étudiant de cinq semaines, plus tard au printemps, et espère être en mesure de trouver des emplois d’été pour deux étudiants : « Nous évaluerons le plus grand nombre d’édifi ces possible ».

Énergie durableLa base adopte sans tarder le plan vert des FC

Nova Scotia Community College students Caitlin Smith, right, and Ovide Mazerolle used a thermal imaging camera February 15 to capture heat loss from the windows of 14 Wing Greenwood’s head-quarters. Whether the windows could be fixed or should be replaced will come as just one of the recommendations from students as they evaluate a range of other sustainability options for the base.

All eyesGreenwood crews part of NATO’s massive Proud MantaSergeant Pete Nicholson,

14 Wing Greenwood photojournalist

Exercise Proud Manta is the largest recurring NATO anti-submarine warfare (ASW) exercise, offering multinational teamwork and advanced con-tinuing training to achieve and maintain maritime combat capa-bilities. Aircrews conduct direct support (DS), anti-submarine warfare, and intelligence, sur-veillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations alongside NATO allies in a complex, multi-discipline environment.

Conducted from Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy, this year’s exercise February 14 to 26 saw the largest contingent of Canadian participants ever. Greenwood’s 405 Long Range Patrol (LRP) Squadron pro-vided two crews, with additional crews from 404 LRP and Train-ing Squadron and 407 (LRP) Squadron. Maintenance per-sonnel came from both 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS) and 407 (LRP) Squadron and detachment staff and opera-tions support personnel from 14 Wing Greenwood, Maritime Forces Atlantic, Maritime Forces Pacifi c, Acoustic Data Analysis Centre (Atlantic and Pacific) rounded out the contingent of 100 personnel.

Canada’s determination to maintain profi ciency in ASW, ISR and anti-surface operations with NATO forces in a deployed environment was evident in the

plan to fl y 24 sorties. There were also eight sched-

uled aircrew upgrade/ ca tegory check

rides during the exercise.

From day one, all person-nel maintained a very busy schedule. A vast amount of preparation was required before each fl ight. Operations support personnel and exercise planners created and prepared a host of documentation and messages required to support operations, while the crews attended a pre-mission brief three hours prior to take-off. At the same time, maintainers performed a myriad of functions ensuring the aircraft was safe for fl ight by completing required maintenance activities, including fi xing equipment and so-called B checks.

Following the briefi ng, tactical crews joined the fl ight engineers, already in the process of con-ducting additional pre-fl ight in-spections that involved checking the entire aircraft from top to bot-tom and front to back to ensure it is safe to fl y. Inside the aircraft, the acoustic sensor operators (ASOs), non-acoustic sensor op-erators (NASOs), the navigator/ communicator (NAVCOM) and the tactical navigator (TACNAV)

conducted functional computer tests, input mission specifi c data and confi rmed the functionality of all of the sensors. At 30 min-utes before take-off, the aircraft commander arrived, checked the plane and completed the paper work. The aircraft commander then conducted the fi nal mission briefi ng, which ensured the crew was on the same page. Now it was time to “kick the tires and light the fi res.”

Each mission involved up to seven hours in the air, on day and night fl ights. On the open water below, NATO warships, helicopters, smoke and flares were all part of the game. The key word is communications. On the CP-140 everyone - from the fl ight deck crew, the NASOs, ASOs, NAVCOM and the TACNAV - were constantly providing each other with pertinent data obtained from mission sensors. The crew on the fl ight deck, responsible for fl ying the plane, received their direction from the TACNAV, who, based on the inputs from both

the ASO and NASO sensor op-erators, quarterbacked

the mission. The N A V C O M s

listen, reply and decipher all op-erational communications. This, coupled with the warships’ sub-surface detection and the helicop-ter’ “dipped” sonar information, enabled the crews to detect, lo-calize, track and “attack” the sub-marine - resulting in a successful mission. This could not happen without dedicated teamwork and effective communications.

Following seven hours of “cranking and banking,” the fl ight was over. After landing, the aircraft went through a wash to rinse the salt water and prevent corrosion. When the engines were shut down and the aircraft secures, the crew debriefed, pro-viding good points along with ar-

eas to improve for the next fl ight. As soon as the aircrew departed, the maintenance crew took over and carried out post fl ight checks and re-fueled. When all is said and done, the actual mission time is between 10 and 12 hours.

This was my fi rst operational mission on a CP140. Seeing everything for the fi rst time was certainly an eye opener for sure! Just who and what is required

in order to complete a mission is astounding. Everyone - from the maintainers and the support staff - all agreed an exercise of this magnitude is irreplaceable. Detachment Commander Major Perron and 405 Squadron’s Crew 3 LRP Crew Commander Major LeBlanc agreed this exercise is a “10 out of 10” for the effective-ness and practical training af-forded the LRP community.

The Spartans won two

of three regional playdown games, winning the third and fi nal game March 6 against

Shelburne 4-2.Spartans head coach Larry

Keagan is extremely proud of his team.

“These kids don’t know the meaning of giving up,” he says. “We have done fairly well over all during the season

and, if we get behind by a few goals, they don’t quit. They usually come back and win.”

Win or lose, just to make provincials is an accomplish-ment team members can be proud of. The Spartans will represent not only the

Western Valley Minor Hockey Association, but the entire Western Nova Scotia Region. Keagan would like to thank WVMHA president Eric Balser for support and dedication to the Spartans, and for all WV teams.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, communication is a big deal for you this week. Every time you open your mouth, you have a grand audience just waiting on what you have to say.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, attempt a more light-hearted approach to a difficult situation. If you don’t let it bother you, there may be an easy solution that comes to mind much faster.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, don’t worry if the spark seems to have sizzled out of your relationship. While there may be a bump in the road, this is by no means the end of the whole thing.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, have some fun at work. Just because it is a means to making money doesn’t mean it has to be serious and boring every day. Be creative in your methods.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23You are at the top of your game this week, Leo. Expect to sail through projects at the speed of light. Also anticipate others turning to you for advice because of the vibe you give.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Don’t expect others to be mind readers, V irgo. I f you have something to say, simply say it. It is better than going through the guessing game of your feelings.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, the simple act of expressing yourself will ease any personal issues you are keeping inside. Talking about things can help you feel more secure, as well. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, focus on keeping yourself in great shape. Feeling under the weather can be taxing on the body and the spirit. Eat healthy and get more exercise.SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, taking time to notice your feelings can go a long way toward mitigating stress and bringing peace of mind. It also creates other opportunities to relax.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, focus on fi tness as the warm weather is once again right around the corner. You’ll want to look and feel your best when it comes time to enjoy the great outdoors.AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, don’t fret too much over a situation that’s been troubling you. Realizing the situation is a great fi rst step. Now seek the help of others to determine a solution.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20You may notice changes to your home life, Pisces, and it may be causing anxiety. The celestial plane is creating the turmoil.

For 10 years, Grade 6 students from Kingston’s Pine Ridge Middle School have been visiting the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum in January. Their three visits of some 150 students and escorts traditionally kick off the museum’s busy Flight Edu-cation Program, which hosts between six and eight elementary schools from January to April. This year, Pine Ridge recognized the support of the museum and the many flight education volunteer instructors by donating $100 to further improvements at the museum. Pictured at Pine Ridge are Grade six teachers Sheri Deutsch, Mark MacFadyen (the school flight education coordination), museum flight education coordinator Lloyd Graham, and Sharilyn Kinsman.

Stéphanie Townsend,Coordonnatrice de la

prévention, du soutien et de l’intervention du CRFMG

Vous avez l’impression de vous arracher les cheveux, de vous frapper la tête contre le mur ou de vouloir manger une boîte entière de biscuits ?

Alors, parlons de… stress

Le stress… examinons-le de nouveau

Stephanie Townsend,GMFRC Coordinator of prevention, support &

intervention

Feel like pulling your hair out, banging your head on a wall or eating that whole box of cookies?

Let’s talk about… stress! We all deal with it in one way or another. The Greenwood Military Family Resources Centre is offering a presenta-

Stress… let’s have another looktion that looks at stress in different ways, with the goal being understanding some-thing is the fi rst step towards being able to deal with it. Topics of this presentation on stress include what it is, how some stress is healthy, how we cope (effectively and not so effectively), dealing with it as a family, understanding the difference between it and mental trauma, the signs of

mental trauma or stress injury and the social issues around a traumatic stress injury.

Our facilitator will be Regi-nald Dane Berringer; BA M.Ed. Dane brings invaluable experience from his career as a now-retired police inspec-tor responsible for train-ing police offi cers and their families at the Atlantic Po-lice Academy to understand personal, operational, and

traumatic stress in their lives. Coupled with his personal and professional experience, our families will have a won-derful opportunity to hear honest, upfront information about stress in its many forms.

This is a free presentation, so join us at the GMFRC March 19, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Register by calling 765-5611 by March 15.

! Nous devons tous y faire face d’une façon ou d’une autre. Le Centre de ressources pour les familles militaires de Greenwood offre un atelier qui présente différentes facettes du stress, tout en sachant que de comprendre quelque chose est la première étape afin d’être capable de la gérer. Les

sujets de cette présentation sur le stress sont les suivants : qu’est-ce que c’est de toute fa-çon, comment un peu peut être bon, comment nous y faisons face (effi cacement et pas vrai-ment effi cacement), le gérer en tant que famille, comprendre la différence entre le stress et un traumatisme mental, les signes

d’un traumatisme mental ou d’une blessure due au stress, et les questions sociales en-tourant une blessure de stress traumatique.

L’animateur sera Reginald Dane Berringer; BA M.Ed. Dane possède une expérience inestimable après une car-rière en tant qu’inspecteur de

la police, aujourd’hui retraité, qui était responsable de for-mer les offi ciers de police et leurs familles à l’Académie de police de l’Atlantique afi n qu’ils comprennent ce qu’est le stress personnel, opération-nel et traumatique dans leurs vies. Jumelées à son expéri-ence personnelle et profes-sionnelle, les familles auront

une merveilleuse opportunité d’entendre des informations honnêtes et à jour au sujet du stress sous toutes ses formes.

Ceci est un atelier gratuit, alors venez vous joindre à nous au CRFMG, le 19 mars, de 18 h à 20 h pour cette su-perbe présentation. Inscrivez-vous en appelant au 765-5611 avant le 15 mars.


A CAPS fundraiser, Fashion 4 Pawz, at the Western Kings Arena in November included 20 dogs, all with specially tailored clothes.

The dogs were on leashes and accompanied by their humans. Many breeds were represented: Greyhounds, a Whippet, Boston Terrier, Pomeranian, Labrador Retriever, Nova Scotia Duck Toller, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell and a four-month-old Newfoundland puppy named Chewy, who stole the show. In true fashion show style, there was even a wedding party col-lection. The bride was a black

Pomeranian, the groom was a Chorkie and the maid of honour was a Boston Terrier.

There were approximately 60 people at the event, includ-ing a good number of children. Brigitte Eisengruber gave a demonstration in dog agility and then invited each child to take her Jack Russell, Susie, around the course. This was a big hit with the children.

The event was sponsored by Pet Central Dog Grooming and Boutique and The Dash-ing Hound, a home-based company that makes clothes for canines.
