In a February 12 update on Operation Impact, the Canadian Armed Forces’ support to the coalition fi ght against the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant in Iraq, Captain (Navy) Paul Forget, Ca-nadian Joint Operations Command; says, in recent weeks, ISIL has suffered a number of tactical setbacks.

Forget said ISIL has been pressed on multiple fronts, most notably in Northern Iraq, where Iraqi security forces have regained control of several villages. ISIL leadership has been struggling to sustain military efforts and has escalated displays of public brutal-

14 Wing Greenwood “mus-tered all the troops” last week in response to a 50-centremetre-plus dumping of winter on the wing.

With minimum manning calls stretched from Febru-ary 15 through to the start of February 17, safety and snow removal were the focus of crews tackling the early storm clean-up, and then regular shifts came on strength to pitch in.

That included pitching snow over the edge of the Fitness and Sports Centre rooftop,

Op Impact affecting ISIL abilityity, even the execution of its own members for fl eeing from battle.

In the north, Iraqi security forces, supported by coalition air operations, are expanding control of the Mosul area. The resulting success of Iraqi security forces’ operations has forced ISIL to push its supply routes further to the south, off the main highway. This further exposes ISIL movements to coalition airstrikes, limits its freedom of movement and makes re-supply efforts diffi cult.

In Central Iraq, Bayji remains a contested area with daily fi ghting. The coalition continues to support Iraqi security forces

through airstrikes and surveillance missions.Since commencing operations, the coalition has conducted

more than 1,300 airstrikes in Iraq. These strikes targeted heavy weapons, vehicles, fi ghting positions, tactical units and buildings used by ISIL. Since the beginning of Operation IMPACT, Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft have fl own 467 sorties: CF18s have conducted 306 sorties, the Polaris has conducted 76 sorties, delivering 4.3 million pounds of fuel; and CP140 Auroras have conducted 85 sorties.

Centre spaces inside – including the classroom, weigh room and fitness room – were closed as Construction Engineering crews immediately were tasked to shovel the weight off.

“We’ll be back in the building February 19 to look at the walls, and peel back the coverings to make sure the structure looks okay,” said Captain Mike Syzek, Wing Construction Engineer-ing’s engineering operations of-

Syzek said WCE then dis-patched personnel to check all the wing’s buildings, and found further issues caused by the snow and ice. At Hangar 5, snow build-up on a fl atter lean-to roof had melted, then frozen, and ice was backing up and causing interior leaks. Building occupants had gone up the snow drifts to the roof edge with snowshoes and made early attempts to break the ice with axes so water

Winter work...

It took a day-and-a-half last week to clear the rooftop of the 14 Wing Greenwood Fitness and Sports Centre with shovels and snowblowers.

Corporal N.Rietta, Wing Construction Engineering

could run off. WCE brought out Heavy Equipment to clear the issue here, and also looked at similar problems at hangars 2, 4 and 7. The Hornell Centre roof was also a concern. The wing’s annual Winter Carnival curling tournament was also affected, as the rinks doors were blocked by major drifts, making the building unsafe in case of an emergency.

As well, the wing’s auxil-iary power units were buried in snow, along with access to water pump houses and mechanical stations.

“So, we’ve had guys out dig-ging them out.”

And, February 18, an eight-inch-plus water main supplying 5 Hangar also broke below ground.

“This is a slow process. We’ve mustered the troops, we’ve got everyone pushed out to do this and then they’ll head back to their own shops and dig themselves out.”

In the meantime, the wing’s Airfi elds and Grounds crews have been just as pressed. Jim Stronach came in to the base early February 15, and knew then there was no point in tackling any early clean-up.

“You’re just chasing the storm but, 6 a.m. Monday morning, we started and we’ve had crews working 12 hour

days – and that’s long enough,” he says.

“We’re responsible for side-walks, bus stops, hydrants, drains, all the high profile areas – the community centre, Mess, hospital, Military Family Resource Centre, headquarters; and all the airfi eld lights, drains and markers.”

Stronach says the base’s snow clearing priority plan is always a challenge for people and facilities that are lower on the list: “everyone could be a red priority – but what’s the point? You’re still going to have to wait your turn.”

A few safety reminders Syzek and Stronach have, along with further emphasis from 14 Fire

and Emergency Services: build-ing occupants must clear snow from their entrances to three

metres – and that includes all secondary and fi re exits; and do not approach or get in the way

of – either in your vehicle or on foot - the heavy equipment out trying to do its job.

Last week’s storm wasn’t the fi rst to play havoc with 14 Wing Greenwood’s infra-structure.

Winter weather two weeks ago also dumped snow on rooftops, including the over-hang covering the stepped entrance to the Greenwood Gardens arena. Wing Con-struction Engineering staffer Al McMaster was attending an after hours event at the

rink, and noticed the over-hang looked a bit saggy. He came into work the next morning and WCE crews went over to have a look.

“On fi rst glance, it didn’t look too bad, but then we took a few boards off and really saw the damage,” says Captain Mike Syzek, WCE’s engineering operations of-fi cer.

They immediately barred

the entrance from use, and brought in the construction shop crew to dismantle the overhang. Heavy Equipment did the fi nal demolition.

Syzek says an overhang or awning will likely go back up in better weather, but the design will have to be adjusted to allow for snow to slide off – but not into the nearby roadway or the rink’s mechanical equipment pad.

Snow–sagging roof gone

The southside entrance to the Greenwood Gardens rink was demolished two weeks ago, after heavy snow build-up caused a dangerous roof sag. Submitted

West Nova Scotia Regiment

Windsor residents going through the drive-thru at a downtown restaurant early Sunday morning may have been surprised by RCMP and Military Police roadblocks and the sounds of blank small-arms fi re.

The West Nova Scotia Regi-ment, with platoons from Bridgewater, Middleton, Kent-ville and Windsor; deployed in Windsor, for a Reserve military weekend exercise February 6 to 8. Over 75 soldiers set up a company position in the gymnasium of Kings-Edgehill School.

Armed with blank ammu-nition, troops patrolled the streets looking for a mock military group and its cache of weapons. Information ob-tained from the patrols lead the troops to a small, suspect building on the shores of Pesaquid Lake. Just before fi rst light February 8, about 45 soldiers converged upon and surrounded the building. Police forces blocked roads while soldiers stormed the building and, after a short skirmish, seized the building, discovered the weapons cache and suspects were turned over to the police. By Sunday afternoon, the Reserve force returned to home units, end-ing Exercise Semper Town.

Not only was this a great training opportunity for the soldiers, it enabled the regi-ment to practice coordinating with civilian organizations. According to Captain Jeremy Wigmore, company com-mander, “We’re able to build professional relationships with our civilian partners, while exercising our leaders and soldiers under some of the most realistic conditions possible.”

The West Nova Scotia Regi-ment is an infantry unit head-quartered at Camp Aldershot, Kentville, and comprises four platoons located in Bridge-

Snowfl akes, snowshoes, snowballs, snowmen, snow! Snow! Snow! We are surely in the middle of winter. With all the snow days, it’s a good time to drop in to the 14

Two new books include “As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust,” the next installment in Alan Bradley’s captivating internationally-bestselling mystery series; and Susan Brown’s latest book, “Mean Streak,” about

pediatrician and marathon runner Dr. Emory Charbon-neau, who disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina. By the time her husband, Jeff, miffed over a recent argument; reports her missing, the trail has grown cold. Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search.

Flocons de neige, ra-quettes, boules de neige, bonshommes de neige, neige! neige! neige! Nous sommes bien en plein hiver. En ces jours de neige, c’est le bon moment de se rendre à la bibliothèque de la 14e Escadre Greenwood pour consulter les titres les plus récents.

La bibliothèque vient de faire l’acquisition de deux nouveaux livres : le nouveau roman de la captivante série policière à succès interna-tional d’Alan Bradley, « As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust », et le dernier livre de Susan Brown, « Mean Streak », consacré à la Dre Emory Charbonneau, pédiatre et marathonienne, qui disparaît sur une route de montagne en Caroline du nord. Au moment où son mari, Jeff, fâché après une dispute récente, rapporte sa disparition, le sentier devi-ent de plus en plus froid. La montagne sauvage est recouverte de brouillard et de verglas, ce qui paralyse les recherches.

Plusieurs nouveaux livres pour enfants sont également disponibles, dont ceux de Laura Joffe Numeroff, pub-

La collection de DVD s’est enrichie avec « Fury » et la cinquième saison de « Downton Abbey ».

Les quatre saisons précédentes sont également disponibles, au cas où vous ne les auriez pas déjà vues.

Si vous avez des enfants qui participent à des projets d’expo-sciences, la biblio-thèque compte une bonne sélection de livres pour aider ces jeunes scientifi ques en herbe. On y trouve également une excellente sélection de livres pour souligner le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs.

Enfi n, la bibliothèque in-vite les lecteurs à essayer quelque chose de nouveau : nous avons tous nos auteurs préférés et il peut être dif-ficile d’essayer un auteur inconnu, mais sachez que

Falck Safety Services Can-ada is currently under con-tract to provide all Canadian Armed Forces aircrew with Rotary Wing Underwater Egress Training (RWUET).

This course provides mili-tary aircrew with an under-standing of the hazards of helicopter-over-water opera-tions. The training provides knowledge of personal and helicopter safety and surviv-al equipment and introduces CAF personnel to emergency response procedures de-signed for water impact and subsequent abandonment - on the surface or under-water. Practical training uses the Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS), designed to simulate the helicopter. This training is conducted in the state-of-the-art Survival

Training Simulation Theatre (STST) pool with environ-mental effects.

Three imagery technicians from 14 Wing Greenwood qualified for the course, held mid-February in Halifax. Their new tasking within 413 (Transport and Res-cue) Squadron required the RWUET in case of a ditching situation when accompany-ing crews on any search and rescue missions.

“This course is extremely important - it prepares you in case of a crash and makes you conscious of the danger but, more specifi cally, it will save your life!” said Master Corporal Johanie Maheu, 14 Wing Imaging. “It really pre-pares you and teaches you, step by step, what to do.”

Maheu describes being in a “very uncomfortable zone the human body is not used to.” As participants are trapped inside an “aircraft,”

Aircraft crash training could save lives

Aircrew and personnel from 14 Wing Greenwood were on course in Halifax in mid-February, learning how to get out of a helicopter during a potential overwater crash. Submitted

the simulator fl ips the air-craft upside down and it starts fi lling with water.

“You have to stay im-mobile, with water going up your nose, until the aircraft is fi lled. It is very easy to get disoriented.”

Personal stress, the force

of a real impact, possible injuries and any prepara-tion time before an actual ditching are factors aircrew also have to be prepared for during a real overwater mission, but cannot really be fully tested during the RWUET.

Aylesford and District King Lion Danny Herbert and N2 District Governor Frank Hartman, left, welcomed two new members to the Aylesford club, Fred Huntley and Jan Chipman, centre; February 11. Lion Fred’s sponsor was Lion Charlie Ross, far right, and Lion Jan’s sponsor was Lion Wayne Newhook (not pictured here, but Lion Secretary Joy filled in). Special guests from St. Mary’s Elementary and Pine Ridge Middle schools were also in attendance, presented with cheques totalling $7,175.20 from the Aylesford club and Scotiabank Greenwood using its matched funds community program. Scout Master Louis Lloyd received Lion badges, given to every Aylesford Scout member as the club-sponsored group. Other presenta-tions included two milestone chevrons for Lion Terry (25 years) and Lion Kerrigan (10 years). Members from three other clubs attended: Kingston, Middleton and Cow Bay (which captured the Aylesford gong, with seven members attending). Aylesford Lion Willis won the 50/ 50 and King Lion Danny won the raffle.
