Animals at large around 14 Wing Greenwood’s public and Residential Housing Units properties are now being looked after by the municipal animal control offi ce.

Within the last couple of months, 14 Wing has made the transition from having its own Military Police and grounds personnel respond to calls about animals at large, to using the existing contract the Municipality of Kings has with the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

Debbie Gaul, SPCA branch man-ager and animal control offi cer, says the July 1 start date of the county contract, along with responsibili-ties for 14 Wing-based complaints; means the SPCA is truly a full-care facility.

“If animals are ill, injured or lost, we take them in and track their own-ers and addresses. After 72 hours in SPCA care, we start the readoption process,” Gaul says. “The SPCA has a no euthanasia policy.”

People concerned about animals at large may contact the animal control service at 902-678-3647 (DOGS).

Animal control now part of county contract

The Royal Canadian Air Force Association, No. 107 Valley Wing, Green-wood, will host a Battle of Britain parade September 21, marking the 74th an-niversary of the fi rst major campaign to be fought entirely by air.

The No. 107 Valley Wing colour party and fl ight will lead the march through the village. The event includes the parade, commemora-tive service and wreath laying.

14 Wing will partici-pate with representation by Wing Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston and Wing Chief Warrant Offi cer Pier-

Russell Keddy turned over a ceremonial key to 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston for the Green-wood Military Aviation Society’s latest restored aircraft – along with an invitation to “come sit in the cockpit when things get too hairy at the offi ce!”

The museum’s new - old - Douglas C47 Dakota represents the fl eet of Daks fl own by Green-wood squadrons during their history back to 1941, and by 103 Rescue Unit at RCAF Station Greenwood from 1947 through the 1960s. A team of museum volunteers and wing personnel has spent close to 10,000 hours since 2006 restoring this par-

Dedication drives Dak restorationticular Dak to search and rescue kit. All their work culminated in the formal handover ceremony September 5.

“This plane marks the labour, talent, commitment and dedica-tion of a group of like-minded volunteers – most older than the aircraft!” Keddy said. He thanked 14 Wing and the mu-seum for the opportunity to work on the restoration, and dedicated the fi nal result to vol-unteer Brian Troniak, one of the original volunteers who “loved the aircraft and the guys,” but who passed away before the project was done.

Huddleston, in turn, thanked the volunteers for “going the extra mile,” and “being a truly fi ne example of the teamwork we experience every day here at

Greenwood, from regular serv-ing members to our retirees.” He also recognized his command team, which added manpower, working space, painting skills and expertise in various roles through the restoration. “I know you have allowed this project to come to fruition.” Huddleston acknowledged a handful of non-base partners in the project, dating back to the donation of the aircraft from the Canadian Aviation Museum.

“It wasn’t this beautiful when it arrived here,” museum society president Brian Handley said, “but it has been a lot of good work all around – the base’s motto, ‘Operate as one’ is clearly involved here.

“This is a signifi cant day in the history of our museum.”

Volunteers and friends of the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum turned out September 5 for the dedication of the restored Dakota aircraft, a significant player in 14 Wing’s overseas and search and rescue heritage from 1941. Corporal G.Cormier, 14 Wing Imaging

10th year

The 2014 Defence Ethics Sur-vey, now on its fi fth iteration and sponsored by the Defence Ethics Programme, will be released in September. The voluntary, anonymous survey will collect input from a random sample of DND and CAF personnel, includ-ing Reserves. Those chosen to participate will be notified this fall.

Ethics is a topic of vital im-portance in the CAF and in DND. As such, the survey is a critical tool that, based on respondent feedback, will guide the devel-opment of ethics initiatives and training programs. In addition, results will assist senior leaders in creating conditions aimed at fostering ethical attitudes and behaviour. Survey results will also contribute to international research collaborations, allow-ing DND to obtain even more insights from the results, while once more bringing visibility to defence on the world stage in this research fi eld.

This year’s survey will mea-

sure perceptions of organiza-tional conditions that promote ethical behaviour with questions such as, “Does your immediate supervisor set a good example in terms of ethical behaviour?” The survey will also measure ethical risk – the likelihood of defence personnel acting contrary to one or more of the defence standards or values. And last but certainly not least, the survey aims to be the most user-friendly ever. It will be possible to submit it from any computer with internet ac-cess (hard copy delivery will be available on request). It will also allow users to save a partially-completed survey if fi nishing it all at one time poses a challenge.

If you are randomly selected to complete the survey, re-member that every response matters. We appreciate and value your input, and ask that you encourage your peers and subordinates to complete the survey if selected. All personnel will be hearing about the results of this important survey.

Defence Ethics Survey returns

Le Sondage sur l’éthique de la Défense, qui en est à sa cinquième édition en 2014 et est parrainé par le Programme d’éthique de la Défense, sera publié en septembre. Ce sond-age anonyme et volontaire permettra de recueillir les com-mentaires d’un échantillon aléa-toire de membres du personnel du MDN et des FAC, y compris des réserves. Ceux qui seront choisis pour y prendre part en seront avisés cet automne.

Les séminaires du Service de préparation à une seconde carrière (SPSC) ont pour but d’aider les militaires de la Force régulière et les militaires à temps plein de la Première réserve à planifier et réussir leur transition personnelle et professionnelle à la vie civile lors de leur libération. Ces séminaires s’adressent aussi aux familles de ces militaires. Il est recommandé aux militaires de suivre au moins un séminaire du SPSC à la moitié de leur carrière et de nouveau à leur libération pour bénéficier de toute mise à jour de l’information.

Le Sondage sur l’éthique de la Défense est de retourL’éthique est un sujet d’une

importance vitale dans les FAC et au MDN. À ce titre, le sondage est un outil crucial qui orientera l’élaboration des initiatives et des programmes de formation sur l’éthique en fonction des commentaires des répondants. De plus, les résultats aideront les hauts dirigeants à créer des conditions qui favorise-ront l’adoption d’attitudes et de comportements éthiques. Les résultats du sondage con-

tribueront également aux efforts de collaboration internationaux en matière de recherche, ce qui permettra au MDN de tirer davantage de conclusions à partir des résultats et donnera une fois de plus à la Défense une visibilité dans ce domaine de recherche à l’échelle inter-nationale.

Cette année, le sondage me-surera les perceptions à l’égard

des conditions organisation-nelles qui favorisent un com-portement éthique, au moyen de questions comme : « Votre superviseur immédiat est-il un bon exemple en matière de comportement éthique? ». Le sondage mesurera égale-ment le risque d’ordre éthique, c’est-à-dire la probabilité que les membres du personnel de la Défense agissent d’une

manière contraire à une ou à plusieurs normes ou valeurs de la Défense. Enfi n, le sondage vise à être plus convivial que jamais. Il sera possible de le soumettre par ordinateur dis-posant d’un accès Internet (une copie papier pourra être livrée sur demande). Les utilisateurs pourront également sauvegard-er leur sondage partiellement rempli s’il leur est impossible

de le terminer en une seule fois.Si vous êtes sélectionné au

hasard pour remplir le son-dage, n’oubliez pas que chaque réponse compte. Nous ap-précions votre contribution et vous demandons d’encourager vos pairs et vos subalternes à remplir le sondage s’ils ont été choisis. Les résultats de cet important sondage seront com-muniqués à tout le personnel.

~ Obituary ~BEAMAN, Raymond Douglas “Doug” Colonel CD2 (Ret’d)

Kingston, NS

In his 80th year, after a long and courageous battle with cancer and MDS, Doug passed away peacefully on September 6, 2014 surrounded by his close family. Doug was born in Humphreys, NB and was the eleventh of twelve children of the late William and Athelia (Lutes) Beaman. Doug served in the RCAF and Canadian Air Force from 1954 until his retirement in 1988. He had many interesting postings including: Montreal, Summerside, Ottawa, Greenwood, Brussels, Belgium, Brunssum, The Netherlands, Rome, Italy and Athens, Greece. It was while posted to Greenwood in 1956 that he met his soulmate and the love of his life, Abby Marshall. Following his retirement from the military, Doug joined IMP Aerospace where he worked until 1997. After leaving IMP Doug began his own consulting company which he continued for another ten years. Since retiring from the Canadian Forces, Doug has been actively involved in a number of volunteer activities including: the Wilmot Garden Club, where he served twice as President; the Kingston Village Commission as Commissioner; the Kingston Lions Club, the Nova Scotia Association of Garden Clubs, where he served as President; and the Atlantic Baptist Foundation, where he served as a Director for 10 years as well as Vice-Chairperson and the Board Chairperson. Doug also volunteered for 10 years as a founding Director of the Greenwood Art Association. As a long time member (58 years) of the Kingston United Baptist Church, Doug served as a Deacon for several periods over 20 years. Doug was also a founding and active member of the Greenwood Amateur Radio Club (VE1RDB). Doug was predeceased by fi ve sisters, Vivian, Kathleen, Vera, Margaret and Pauline; two brothers, Clarence and William.

Doug is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Abby (Marshall), his daughter Candice Dunn (Michael), grandsons Marshall and Ciaran, his son Peter (Adriana), granddaughters, Emma and Olivia, three sisters, Fay Taylor, Marion Harris and Geraldine Palmer and one brother, Kenneth (Marilyn). In addition, he is survived and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Some of Doug’s most cherished moments in his life were those times spent with his devoted wife during their assignments in Europe and in Canada; the times spent with his grandchildren, both the grandsons and granddaughters, especially their fi shing adventures; and, of course the times spent with his daughter and son and their spouses. In Doug’s own words, “I have lived an exciting life. Every day was fi lled with love. I was lucky to have the perfect mate to share my dreams.” He will also be missed by his very special canine companion, “Bella” whom he loved dearly.

Cremation has taken place and at his request there will be no visitation. A service was held at the Kingston United Baptist Church in celebration of Doug’s life at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 13, 2014, Rev. Paul Bannister offi ciated. A reception in the church Fellowship Hall followed the service. Private interment followed the reception. The family would like to extend special thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at both the Cancer and Chemo Centres in the QEII VG Site and at the Valley Regional Hospital for the wonderful care given to Doug over the past four years and in particular Drs. Jyri Ainamo and David Macdonald. At the family’s request, no fl owers, please. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the QEII Health Centre Foundation (Cancer Center), the Canadian Cancer Society, the Valley Regional Hospital Foundation or the Kingston United Baptist Church, in Doug’s memory. Arrangements have been entrusted to Middleton Funeral Home 398 Main Street (902) 825-3448. Online guest book may be signed by visiting: www.middletonfuneralhome.com

During the latter period of his illness, Doug discovered this poem, which, to some extent, expresses his thoughts about leaving his loving family and friends:

When I come to the end of the road,And the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom fi lled room,Why cry for a soul set-free.

Miss me a little - but not too long,And not with heads bowed low.

Remember the love and great times that we all shared,Miss me- but let me go.

This is a journey that we all must take,And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the Master’s plan,A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,Go to the friends we know.

Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,Miss me – but let me go

The use of the pigeon by Canada’s air force dates back as far as 1922. These birds were used as a means of communicating from the dense boreal forests and far northern reaches of the country while conducting forestry patrols and pho-tographic surveys. Their importance led to expanded use by the Royal Canadian Air Force. By 1929, 15 pi-geon loftmen were respon-sible for looking after 9 lofts.

The pigeons’ wartime con-tribution to the RCAF would be signifi cant. When Canada declared war against the Axis powers (Germany and Italy), a recommendation was put forward for the immediate expansion of the pigeon service. As the war carried on, the pigeon service grew. As of March 1944, the strength had seen an increase to 30 lofts. They

were divided into 14 on the West Coast and 16 on the East Coast. The RCAF per-sonnel establishment was one offi cer and 102 airmen.

During the Second World War, two pigeons were car-ried in separate waterproof carriers aboard each aircraft that operated over the ocean. In the event of an emergency that saw the aircraft ditching (landing on the water) or on landing in a barren area, the wireless operator (radio operator) would send out an S.O.S. by Morse code. It was more advantageous if the S.O.S. could be sent while still airborne. If the radio was unserviceable and there was time, one bird was released with a message explaining the situation and a latitude and longitude of the last known position. All crew took special training in the release method of the pigeons while in fl ight. The last thing you wanted to have happen is a pigeon striking the aircraft immediately after

Pigeons in the RCAF

release.If the wireless operator

did manage to send out an S.O.S., then the pigeons were kept onboard the air-craft until the aircraft land-ed on the water. The crew would take the pigeons into the dinghy (inflatable life raft) and subsequently re-lease them where they could direct rescuers to their loca-tion. The same thing applied

if they crash-landed. The pigeons would be released from the carriers and, hope-fully, fl y back to their lofts where a rescue would be immediately started.

With the cessation of hos-tilities in August 1945, the days of the “pigeons in blue” were numbered. The RCAF’s unique pigeon service was offi cially disbanded in May 1946.

So, the question arises: what do you do with “clapped out” pigeons? Here’s a tasty answer.

Pigeon PieServes 5 – 65 fl oz (150 ml) red wine2 tab!espoons (30 ml) port6 juniper berries, crushed2 tablespoons (30 ml) veg-etable oil4 pigeons1 oz (25 g) butter1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil1 onion, fi nely chopped4 rashers streaky bacon, rinds removed, chopped12 oz (350 g) chuck steak, trimmed and cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) cubes6 oz (175 g) fl at mushrooms, thickly slicedfew sprigs of parsley, chopped1/2 tsp dried thyme12 oz (350 g) shortcrust pastry

• Mix together wine, port, juniper berries and oil for the marinade and season with freshly ground black pepper. Remove breasts from the pigeons and cut into large pieces. Put into a non-metallic dish, pour

over the marinade, cover. Leave in fridge overnight.

• Melt the butter and oil in a frying pan, add the onion and bacon and fry gently for 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, reserve.

• Remove pigeon from the marinade, drain. Reserve marinade. Increase heat and fry the pigeon and the steak in batches, sealing on all sides.

• Put the pigeon, steak, onion and bacon into a 2 pint (1.25 litre) pie dish and top with the mushrooms. Sprinkle with herbs, pour over the reserved marinade.

• Roll out the pastry to 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick, put a pie funnel into the dish. Cut a 1/2 inch (1 cm) strip of pastry and place around the edge of the dish. Brush with water and top with the remaining pastry. Use the pastry trimmings to decorate the top of the pie.

• Bake at (180°C) 350°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to (150°C) 300°F and cook for a further 1 1/2 hours. Cover the pastry with foil if it browns too much during cooking.

They’ve got a pretty good handle on Royal Canadian Air Force history – most lived and worked it for decades. Vol-unteers with the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum took a short road trip July 9 to fi nd out about the future.

14 Wing’s 404 (Long Range Patrol and Training) Squad-ron hosted two dozen guests through a briefing on the all-new Block III CP140 Au-rora and a tour of the fl ight simulators.

“We can bring everyone who visits the museum up from the Second World War to modern operations, and this tour informs us to be able to tell them what is happening,” said museum volunteer Lloyd Graham. “This presentation is right up our alley.”

Fl ight Lieutenant Rich Jones, a tactical navigation instructor on the Block III implementation flight, went through a high tech list of capabilities on the modernized Aurora, from its doubled ability to monitor ocean signal buoys and quadrupled information to fully integrated cameras, “fi nger printing” ID signals, increased submarine detection ranges and more.

“It’s been a steep learning curve – and it will be for quite some time, with these ne lev-els of detail,” Jones said. “All

sensors, all stations – there’s a little extra to take on.”

404 Squadron is responsi-ble for the Block III conversion training of the RCAF’s fl ight crews: 405 Squadron mem-bers will be done this month, and then 407 Squadron crews start coming through the pro-gram, to be finished in the summer of 2015. In the mean-time, 404 Squadron is still in-structing the Block II material, to end this December, and will launch the first modernized MOAT course in January. An all-new qualifi cations standard is being written – a two-year project.

“We’re going to be busy.”To handle even a portion of

that, simulation training has

become even more important: so many crew members, with so little actual aircraft avail-ability means “simulation is the way of the RCAF future,” said Major Doug Bak.

Rod Ward and Jeff Mc-Bean led the museum visi-tors through the simulators, from their roles and matching upgrades to the Block III to a hands-on experience for those interested in climbing into the pilot’s seat.

From 2009’s 3,239 simula-tor hours to 2013’s 4,681 hours, “we’re fl ying as much in the simulator as we are in the planes,” Ward said. “That’s a 10-1 saving when you look at the cost of using the plane and saving the fl eet because

of its age.”In fact 60 of 80 pilot “driver’s

license” hours are simulated.McBean said the simulators

are designed to give crews “realistic and authentic” exer-cises, all over the world.

“The exercises are not only a matter of testing skills and training, but a chance to see where the needs to improve are, particularly around rules of engagement and rules of the sea.

“The benefits? Everyone shows up, we can monitor reactions and provide solid training and exposures. Crew interaction and debriefi ng has improved. There’s been a cul-ture change around simulated exercises.”

newsletter.

The correct date of the event is: Monday, September 22, 2014

The Village of Kingston has been awarded as a 2014 TD Green Streets Community. Please help us celebrate by attending the official ceremony on September 22, 2014 at 10:00am at the Steer BBQ Grounds. Officials from TD Green Streets and Tree Canada will be in attendance as well as local government officials. Students from Kingston and District Elementary School will be on hand to help plant trees with the dignitaries.

National Defence is cur-rently experiencing a higher than normal rate of fi res in-volving clothes dryers. The Offi ce of the Canadian Forces Fire Marshal reminds everyone proper installation, clean-ing and maintenance are key elements to avoiding this situation.

Although Canada does not have current national statis-tics, there are about 12,700 clothes-dryer fi res in residen-tial buildings annually in the United States, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. These preventable fi res cause,

on average, 15 deaths, 300 injuries and about $88 million US in property damage.

In Canada, we use our dry-ers excessively due to our weather. If you’re anything like so many Canadian families, you’re probably doing two to three loads of laundry every day. You need to clean the dryer trap with every usage. Failure to clean out lint traps is the main cause of dryer fi res. A blocked vent or exhaust pipe blocks hot air from release, turning the highly combustible lint into a fi re hazard.

Doing laundry is most likely

Clothes dryer fire safety something to watch

La Défense nation ale re-marque que le taux d’incendie lié à l’utilisation d’une séche-use est p lus é levé que d’habitude. Le Bureau du Service des incendies des Forces canadiennes vous rappelle qu’une sécheuse bien installée et que le nettoyage et l’entretien de l’appareil sont des facteurs clés qui permettent de prévenir une situation dangereuse.

Il n’y a pas de statistiques nationales à jour sur les in-cendies causés par l’utilisation des sécheuses au Canada, mais selon les statistiques de la U.S. Fire Administration, en-viron 12 700 de ces incendies se produisent dans les foyers américains chaque année. En moyenne, ces incendies évitables entraînent la mort de 15 personnes, font 300 bles-sés et causent des dommages matériels d’environ 88 mil-lions $ US.

Au Canada, en raison du cli-mat, nous utilisons les séche-uses avec excès. Comme de nombreuses autres familles canadiennes, vous faites peut-être deux ou trois lessives par jour. Vous devez nettoyer le fi ltre de la sécheuse avant chaque utilisation. Les fi ltres non nettoyés sont la cause principale du déclenchement des incendies dans les séche-uses. Si l’évent ou le tuyau d’évacuation est obstrué et empêche la sortie de l’air chaud, la mousse dans le fi ltre, qui est très infl ammable, pourrait présenter un risque d’incendie.

part of your everyday routine, but did you know how impor-tant taking care of your clothes dryer is to the safety of your home? With a few simple safety tips, you can help pre-vent a clothes dryer fi re.

Tips• Have your dryer installed

and serviced by a profes-sional

• Dryers should be properly grounded

• Do not use the dryer without a lint fi lter

• Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each

load of laundry • Remove lint that has col-

lected around the drum• Rigid or fl exible metal vent-

ing material should be used to sustain proper air fl ow and drying time

• Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent fl ap will open when the dryer is operating, especially during the winter (not covered by snow). Once a year, or more often if you notice it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a

dryer lint removal service do it for you

• Keep the area around your dryer clear of things that can burn, like boxes, cleaning supplies and clothing, etc

• Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to make sure the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks

• Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and the ma-chine is connected properly

• Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Don’t overload your dryer

• Clothes that have come in contact with fl ammable sub-stances, like gasoline, paint thinner, or similar solvents; should be laid outside to dry, then washed and dried as usual

• Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed

Another solution to give your dryer a well needed break and reduce the use of electric-ity in your home? Use clothes lines

Prévention des incendies : sécheuses à surveillerFaire la lessive est probable-

ment l’une de vos tâches quotidiennes, mais savez-vous à quel point l’entretien de votre sécheuse est important pour protéger votre foyer? Les quelques conseils très sim-ples ci-dessous peuvent vous aider à prévenir le déclenche-ment d’un incendie dans votre sécheuse.

Conseils• Veillez à ce qu’un professi-

onnel installe et répare votre sécheuse.

• Les sécheuses devraient être bien posées au sol.

• N’utilisez pas une sécheuse qui n’est pas munie d’un fi ltre.

• Nettoyez le fi ltre avant ou après chaque séchage.

• Retirez la mousse accu-mulée autour du tambour.

• Du matériel de ventilation en métal rigide ou souple devrait être utilisé pour as-surer la bonne circulation de l’air et un temps de séchage raisonnable.

• Assurez-vous que le tuyau d’évacuation de l’air chaud n’est pas obstrué, et que le clapet d’évacuation ex-térieur s’ouvre facilement lorsque la sécheuse est en marche, surtout durant l’hiver (il ne doit pas être couvert de neige). Une fois par année, ou plus souvent si vous remarquez que les vêtements sèchent moins vite que d’habitude, re-tirez la mousse du tuyau d’évacuation ou demandez à un service professionnel de le faire pour vous. N’encombrez pas l’espace

autour de la sécheuse d’articles

infl ammables comme des boî-tes, des produits nettoyants, des vêtements, etc.

Assurez-vous du bon état de fonctionnement de votre sécheuse. Les sécheuses au gaz devraient faire l’objet d’une inspection par un profes-sionnel, pour vérifi er que la conduite de gaz et le raccord sont intacts et qu’il n’y a au-cune fuite.

Assurez-vous que les bonnes fiche électrique et prise de courant sont utili-sées et que l’appareil est bien branché.

Suivez les instructions du fabricant. Ne remplissez pas trop votre sécheuse.

Les vêtements qui ont été en contact avec des sub-stances infl ammables comme de l’essence, du diluant pour peinture ou d’autres solvants

semblables devraient être mis à sécher dehors avant d’être lavés et séchés comme d’habitude.

Ne faites pas fonctionner votre sécheuse lorsque vous allez vous coucher ou lorsque vous quittez la maison.

Voici une autre solution pour accorder à votre séche-use un repos bien mérité et pour réduire votre consomma-tion d’électricité : utilisez une corde à linge.

The Greenwood Skating Club is heading into its 41st year, and this season has lots in store for skaters and coaches.

The fall skating season has already started, with Star-skaters on the ice preparing for a busy year.

Our award winning coach-es, Cheryle Gaston and Ann Young, have been busy planning for the upcoming Canskate session and are looking forward to deliver-ing one of the best learn-to-skate programs in Canada. CanSkate is Canada’s only national learn-to-skate pro-gram, developed by experts to teach the fundamentals of skating in a progressive and sequential manner, including specifi c skills that pertain to hockey, ringette, speed skat-ing and fi gure skating. The result is a dynamic program that prepares all skaters for virtually every ice sport. We have developed the CanSkate program based on Sport Canada’s long term athlete development principles. Fun is had by all, with a focus on participation and basic skill development. Participants earn ribbons and badges as skills are mastered. The program is organized into six progressive stages of learn-ing, with each stage broken down into three fundamental areas: balance, concentrating

on forward skills, pushing technique and edges; con-trol, concentrating on back-wards skills, stopping and speed elements; and agility, concentrating on turning and jumping skills A report card is given twice a year and awards are given as they are earned. Canskate and Starskate registrations are currently being processed at the Greenwood Community Centre office. Canskate is fi lling up, so be sure to get in on the action.

Looking ahead, the 2015 Canada Winter Games will be held in Prince George, BC, and our club has a skater on the team! Alex Robert will join seven other skaters as part of Team Nova Scotia, in addition to our own Cheryle Gaston as team manager.

Braniff book event in GreenwoodJaden Braniff, the author of

The Rebellion Writings series, will be holding a book signing at The Inside Story in Green-wood from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. September 27, celebrating the release of the fi rst two books in the series. The Producer and The Stage, published by Nevermore Press, are cur-rently available in paperback at worldwide book outlets.

Braniff was born in New West Minster, British Co-lumbia, and moved to Kam-loops shortly after. Music, fi lm and acting were his passions through his early years, but storytelling lurked in the form of poetry and song writing. He

tried his hand at being a rock star and actor, then fi nished high school and realized one needed a job to pay bills. Mov-ing around the West Coast, Braden always had a journal. Many stage plays and stories made it to paper, but it wasn’t until he was approached with a concept for a stage play from an independent recording art-ist he started to take his writ-ing seriously. The conspiracy of The Producer came to life. After the release of his second book in The Rebellion Writ-ings series, The Stage, Braniff quickly stepped into writing the fi nal chapter in this chill-ing series about technological

control, redemption and need for freedom. A husband and father of two, Braniff lives and works in Greenwood.
