Nine teen personne l from 14 Mission Support Squadron’s Construction Engineering Flight, Green-wood, deployed for training (DFT) to Bellows Air Force Station, Hawaii, April 28 to May 18. They followed in the footsteps of a crew from 19 Mission Support Squadron Comox, with all working with United States military units to construct a training building/ gym and

a 32’ by 84’ bunk house at the station, along with a number of smaller projects.

This was the fi rst inter-national DFT at Bellows, a primary decompression site for soldiers returning from deployed operations. The exercise was an op-portunity to exercise Roy-al Canadian Air Force CE assets in formed military context, alongside the U.S. Air National Guard’s Civil Engineering Squadrons. In what is normally an ex-change, the Bellows project was a joint opportunity to plan, deploy and execute construction-related tasks; foster interoperability and good relations between the

CE trades team up with U.S. peers on deployed training

two nations, and provide training experience to DP1 and DP2 tradespeople.

14 MSS CE had most trades represented, plus a couple of non-CE trades. When members arrived,

the walls and roof were in place for the gym, but no siding or shingling had been done. The bunkhouse was a mere skeleton. Na-tional Guard from Maine was on the ground for the

fi rst week, concentrating on the bunkhouse and building 10 concrete walkways for cabins, which CE personnel were also involved with.

During the second week, a National Guard from

South Carolina replaced the Maine unit. Greenwood personnel continued with the gym, as well as another eight concrete walkways. The U.S. troops requested assistance because of the

It wouldn’t be a Canadian effort without adding a special touch: Petty Officer First Class Michael Dempsey, from 14 Mission Support Squadron’s Construction Engineering Flight, placed a commemorative loonie in the concrete of one of over a dozen cement walkways poured while on deployed training at Bellows Air Force Station.

Flag raisingKeith Howell, Atlantic Region civilian co-chair of the Defence Aborig-inal Awareness Group, and 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Mike Adamson raise the In-digenous Flag May 21 in honour of Aboriginal Awareness Week.

Corporal K. Neate, 14 Wing Imaging

June 6, 1944, was an over-cast and cold day as 14,000 Canadians advanced on Juno Beach as part of Operation Overlord or, as it would be forever referred to, D-Day.

Prior to the landings, 450 Canadian Airborne Infantry were dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt the German infrastructure and, eventually, join up with the invading forces once they’d established a beach head.

The landing craft were told to circle until the bombardment stopped and, when the order was given, to advance. The landing craft were fi lled with young men, many of whom had never seen battle. As they drew closer to the beach, they could see the bodies of com-rades floating in the water, with never the chance to fi re a shot. Signalmen stood on the beach under fi re holding a rope to allow soldiers to crawl their way to shore.

Those still with us 75 years later and remember that terrible day recount stories of hor-rifi c sights, still fresh in their minds. One veteran explains the sounds on D-Day as he ap-proached the beach like nothing he’d ever heard before - and hopes to never hear again. An-other veteran found a lost letter

on the beach. He picked up the blood-stained envelope and put it in his jacket, opening it much later to read a young girl’s mes-sage to her Canadian father: “I love you, Daddy.” A veteran of the French Resistance recount-ed hearing the coded message to inform Resistance members Operation Overlord was a go for June 6, and to do whatever they could to disrupt the German war machine from responding.

June 6, 2019 marked the

75th anniversary of D-Day. Members of Branch 24 Royal Canadian Legion in Bridgewater gathered on a cold, dark and rainy day to honour those who fought and died so many years ago. Members of 14 Construc-tion Engineering Squadron joined other military members, Legion members, fi rst respond-ers and the public to mark this anniversary and remember those who served and those that continue to serve in the

defence of our country. The ceremony saw one wreath laid by Second World War veteran Robert Wentzell, a member of the Merchant Navy directly involved in the invasion. The sound of The Last Post and a piper gave an eerie feel through the time of reflection. The sacrifices Canadian soldiers made 75 years ago will nev-er be forgotten, and today’s military proudly walks in their footsteps.

This June, the Canadian Armed Forces is deploying ships and a maritime pa-trol aircraft, under the new-ly-named Operation Neon, to ensure sanctions are im-posed against North Korea.

Operation Neon is Cana-da’s contribution to a coordi-nated, multinational effort to support the implementation of United Nations Security Council sanctions imposed against North Korea. These UN sanctions, imposed be-tween 2006 and 2017, aim to pressure North Korea to abandon its weapons of mass destruction programs and respond to North Korean

CAF begins new op to help monitor North Korea sanctions

nuclear weapon tests and ballistic missile launches.

During 2019 and into 2021, Canada will periodi-cally deploy military ships, aircraft and personnel to conduct surveillance oper-ations to identify suspected maritime sanctions evasion activities, in particular ship-to-ship transfers of fuel and other commodities banned by the UNSC resolutions. This contribution will bolster the integrity of the global sanctions regime against North Korea.

Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Regina, Naval Replenishment Unit Asterix

and a CP140 Aurora aircraft are contributing. The CP140, crew and supporting person-nel will operate from Japan. In May 2018, an Aurora deployed under Operation Projection – Asia-Pacifi c to support surveillance and monitoring activities, fol-lowed by a deployment of HMCS Calgary and a CP140 Aurora in October 2018.

Operation Neon demon-strates Canada’s resolve in standing with allies and partners. Op Neon partners include Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, South Kore], the United Kingdom and the United States.

D-Day was the beginning of the end of the Second World War, but the fighting would rage for many more months, taking many more lives. June 6, 1944, more than 359 Canadian soldiers would lose their lives; the total loss to Canada would top 44,000 from 1939 to 1945. The veterans still with us today tell us war is not the answer but, if it came again and they were asked, they would once again defend their country.

The longest day remembered

Honorary Colonel D. Hennessey, 14 Construction Engineering Squadron

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) has created its first online sound archive, Voices of Liberation. June 3, the CWGC launched a call for Canadian content for this worldwide initiative.

To mark the 75th anni-versary of some of the most momentous battles in history, the CWGC is recording the voices of veterans, relatives and pilgrims for a unique on-line sound resource that ex-plains why the commission’s war graves, cemeteries and memorials are as poignant today as when they were fi rst built.

CWGC is now calling on the Canadian public to record their stories and feelings relating to the Second World War and its sites of remem-brance.

experience gained working with the Maine troops.

Over the course of the second and third weeks, Greenwood completed the gym’s siding, painting and roofi ng; installed 12 win-dows, inside insulation for ceiling and walls, and dry-wall. Mudding and sanding was done, and the trim for the outside and inside was painted and completed. A paint sprayer was used for two coats of paint primer inside and three coats of paint on the outside siding.

The bunkhouse was also quickly coming together by the third week, and CE worked alongside South Carolina troops installing siding, painting and trim, windows, drywall and mud-ding. The roofi ng was com-pleted, and refrigeration and mechanical technicians

completed all of Bellows’ overdue repairs and main-tenance.

Representing the Green-wood CE unit were Cap-tain Rick Costain, Second Lieutenant Joshua Cooke, Petty Offi cer First Class Mi-chael Dempsey, Sergeant William Pineau, Master Corporal Karl Lambert, Corporal Gerald Selig, Cor-poral Jean-Phillippe Houle, Corporal Jeremie Leger, Corporal Anabelle Lam-ontagne, Corporal Luke Therrien, Corporal Mat-thew McPhail, Corporal Glen Lear, Corporal Mat-thew Macleod, Private Kyle Critchley, Aviator Parker Matheson, Aviator Kyle Bell, Aviator Joey Guitard, Avi-ator Thomas Linehan and Aviator Johnathan Boutin.

end of the DFT.The Greenwood contin-

gen t stayed on the Bellows station in cabins through-out the DFT, and enjoyed a 200-foot walk to the beach on their downtime. There

were opportunities to take a few out trips as well on time off duty, and personnel vis-ited pineapple fi elds, hiked to the top of the Diamond-head volcano and attended a luau in Seaside Park.

The DFT was a great suc-cess, as the U.S. project manager showered praises on the Canadian troops for far exceeding expectations. He said he would have crews back anytime for

projects, as all Greenwood personnel worked extreme-ly hard, owning the various projects each were tasked to fi nish. The effort resulted in much personal satisfac-tion for a job well done.

All year long “ham” radio operators enjoy their hob-by, conversing with others all over the world and also provide communications for marathons, equestrian events,

walk-a-thons, off road car rac-es and adventure challenges; plus with backup communica-tions to emergency measures organizations in times of need.

Field Day happens once a

year, when operators set up their equipment on the single most popular on-the-air event held annually the fourth week-end of June, sponsored by the American Radio Relay League

Ham radio operators show off skills, hobby at annual field dayand the Radio Amateurs of Canada. It is a chance for hams to practice for emergen-cy events, setting up radios “in the fi eld” without the use of commercial power. It is also

a great chance for the public to see them in action.

Feel free to come check out the Greenwood Amateur Radio Club’s Field Day set-up during our 24-hour operation at the

The colours of life, healing, sunlight, nature, serenity and spirit are flying at 14 Wing Greenwood, as the base raised the pride fl ag June 3 to launch National Pride Month.

“This is a recognized sym-bol around the world, and the fi rst raising of the rainbow fl ag in Greenwood,” said Cap-tain Backhouse, describing what the red orange, yellow, green, blue and purple colour bands stand for on the fl ag.

“We should all – mem-bers and nonmembers of the LGBTQ+ community – strive to live up to what this fl ag stands for. It shows the Ca-nadian Armed Forces’ com-mitment to diversity and in-clusivity, as the cross section

Flag firstof Canadian society we are.”

Wing Commander Colonel Mike Adamson and members of the 14 Wing command team, along with representa-tives from the Positive Space initiative, watched as the fl ag unfurled at the base’s main gate staff.

“The Canadian Armed Forces strives and aspires to be an inclusive employer and provide a workplace where everyone can be safe and welcomed,” he said. “I’m very pleased to be here.”

Backhouse said several more recent developments are adding meaning and support to personnel within the Canadian Armed Forces, along with peers in civil-ian departments. The Posi-tive Space program has 11 trained ambassadors now

at 14 Wing, ready to offer peer support to anyone who gets in touch. Trainings and

contact with leaders and base units continue to develop the initiative. The new Maritime Defence Pride Network is planning more social-themed events for people who might

like to join its activities. And, the national Defence Advisory Awareness Group for women has been tasked to assist development of a national LGBTQ-focused program.

The 14 Wing Band (Brass and Reed Band) is looking for volunteer musicians, military and non-military included.

Previous playing experience is required. Music is generally between a grade 3 and 4 level. All instruments are welcome, but the band currently has openings for fl ute, trombone, tuba and percussion.

The band performs at pa-rades and mess dinners, concerts, collaborative proj-ects, military functions and community events. This is a great way to reach out into the community or take on a stellar secondary duty. Rehearsals are Wednesdays, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Those wishing to join may contact Bandmaster Warrant Offi cer Jeff Campbell, Jeff.Campbell2@forces.gc.ca or 902-765-1494 local 5295.

The Greenwood Golf Club is in full “swing,” now that Mother Nature has decided to co-operate. The course is in great shape thanks to our maintenance staff of Bruce, Tony and Tim.

Golf has been played in between the spring showers: recently, the ladies’ league held its Rose Bowl tournament. Ten members participated. Cyndi Landry came away with the Crystal Rose Bowl as fi eld low net winner, while Betty Saltzman won the field low gross. Everyone came away with a prize.

June 7 was a special day for Chief Warrant Officer Denis Flamand, as he and Diane will be moving to Quebec early in July upon his retirement. For his depart with dignity event, he chose the golf course and friends were invited to a four-person scramble. With Diane driving the cart around, Denis was able to play at least one hole with all participants. This was not about winning prizes, but to honour and say farewell to this wonderful

couple. They will be missed at our course. The golf was followed by a delicious BBQ steak dinner, and then Denis was presented with numer-ous commendations from the prime minister, the chief of defense and more. Enjoy your retirement - and come back soon!

June 12, there was a vol-unteer work party to help maintenance staff with some extra mowing, whipper snip-ping, weeding and tidying up. Fourteen people came out to help – thank you! Pro-shop manager Ryan provided hot dogs, sausages and cold drinks for the workers.

June 17, the Greenwood Ladies will host their first Field Day in 21 years. Six-ty-four ladies from around the province are coming to play. Greenwood is also hosting the provincial ladies amateur and senior competition early in July. This Field Day will allow them a chance to practice on our course, and some of the best golfers in the province will be here.

Canada Day is just around the corner, and the Green-wood club’s annual Canada Day four-person scramble is always lots of fun. There are, so far, 44 names on the sig- up sheet. Last year, we had 124 golfers and everyone got in the true Canadian spirit, with carts – and golfers - decorated in either red and white or with something denoting the prov-ince they represented. The day starts with a group photo on the front deck and we all sing “O Canada,” then we golf (shot-gun at noon), have a BBQ and prizes and then sing karaoke. The cost is $20 for members and $40 for non-members. If you are interested, give the pro shop a call or contact me, Wendy Richardson.

June 24, the club is start-ing its Monday evening golf, underway at 5:30 p.m. Cost is $6 per person including a cart for nine holes. (For members with a cart, it will just be $2.50 per person.) This is a great way to try a wonderful sport, and a course known as “the challenge.”

The 19th HoleGreenwood Golf Club activity well underway

Sara White,Managing editor

May as well dig some drainage if it’s wet, and the season’s start at the Green-wood Golf Club has certainly been that. Renovations to the driving range, adding target greens and some digging and re-shaping are now underway.

A wet May hasn’t stopped the opening of season two of the course, operating under the concession management agreement with Eagle Crest Golf Course owner Osbourne Ward. Eagle Crest took on management of the Green-wood greens to start the 2018 season, as the base had decided in 2017 to get out of the golf course business.

“We never wanted to lose the course,” says 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Col-onel Mike Adamson, “but

Greener game ahead for Greenwood course

this partnership allows us to maintain likely one of the best courses in Nova Scotia, reduce our wing fund liability and focus on a range of mo-rale and welfare projects for a

wider population.”Ryan O’Rourke is the

Greenwood pro-shop man-ager, on the ground since Eagle Crest took on operations to start 2018.

“Year one – we couldn’t have been happier,” he says.

“It was a building year, ob-viously, but the dual mem-bership we were able to offer Eagle Crest and Greenwood members was a big selling point – and Eagle Crest mem-bers loved it. They come here, make a day of it, play, have

lunch or a beer and the club atmosphere here is a big part

14 Wing Greenwood Colonel Mike Adamson, left, and Wing Chief Warrant Officer Dan Campbell headed out to check the links at the Greenwood Golf Course as the season gets underway, meeting with pro-shop manager Ryan O’Rourke, right. The course is just beginning its second year in a third-party operations agreement with the Eagle Crest Golf Course. S. White

of it.”O’Rourke says feedback

from golfers is great, as well: “The course is excellent, and everyone has said, so far, our maintenance staff is doing an awesome job.”

The Greenwood course is teaming up with Eagle Crest to run a weekly men’s night Tuesdays, playing one week here and the next at the course north of Kentville for variety. The ladies night in Greenwood is Wednesdays, and the fi eld also can access a Thursday ladies’ morning at Eagle Crest.

June 17, Greenwood hosts a ladies’ fi eld day, where it’s likely many of the anticipated players for the July 5 through

7 Nova Scotia Golf Associa-tion’s women’s amateur and ladies’ senior amateur tour-naments will come preview the course. The June fi eld day is also a points event in the NSGA’s annual player-of-the-year challenge.

14 Wing’s Combined Mess maintains several borrowable memberships for military mess members, and Adam-son encourages base units and squadrons to consider the course and its clubhouse for sports days, social events and recreational activities. The course is open to the wider community as well, with an active club supporting in-house tournaments and social events.

Nova Scotians will have access to more cancer-related resources for their children at local libraries.

The nine regional librar-ies across the province have established a core collection of 15 books to help children coping with a parent with a serious illness. The collection will be available in the coming weeks.

“This was brought forward to us as a gap by someone who had a specifi c need,” said Leo Glavine, Minister of Commu-nities, Culture and Heritage.

“Our hope is that enhancing the collection of cancer-related resources will provide parents

with cancer the information for their children to better under-stand the disease and their role in the journey.”

The department is providing $5,000 in funding.

Each library region will re-ceive at least two copies of each title in the core collection and includes an assortment of fictional and nonfictional material. The resources will be available within each regional library’s collection. Families who do not have direct ac-cess to a library will be able to borrow resources through outreach services like Books by Mail, mobile libraries and ebook services.

Libraries increase cancer-related resources for children
