The arena at the Cold Lake
Energy Centre was filled on
Wednesday as 2,500 spectators
honoured Canada’s war dead at
the annual Remembrance Day
ceremony.
Cold Lake Branch 211 of
the Royal Canadian Legion
partnered with 4 Wing to
present the ceremony for the
second consecutive year. The
City of Cold Lake donated the
use of the facility.
4 Wing Commander Col
Eric Kenny, as the parade’s
reviewing officer, addressed
the assembly.
“The members we honour
came from all walks of life,
but they shared several
fundamental
qualities,”
he said. “They possessed
courage, pride, determination,
selflessness, dedication to duty,
and integrity – all the qualities
needed to serve a cause larger
than oneself.
“They
were
ordinary
people who responded in
extraordinary ways in extreme

president
Todd Rorke was pleased with
the ceremony and with the
turnout. “It means so much for
all of us to come together as a
community and remember,”
he said. “It’s a proper way to
honour our fallen, and it’s
a great show of support for
veterans and serving members
of the military.”
While the main ceremony
was underway at the Energy
Centre, 1st Kinosoo Scouts
laid wreaths at the outdoor
cenotaph in Cold Lake
North. Many local businesses
closed their doors until after
11:00 am out of respect for the
fallen, and others asked their
customers to pause for two
minutes of silence.
“We must never take
our troops’ sacrifices for
granted,” Rorke said. “It’s
good to know that respect for
Remembrance Day is strong in
our community.”

Do
you
know
what a tamale is?
The steamed dough
pockets with their
sweet or savoury or
spicy-hot fillings are a
staple comfort food in
Mexico.
But be careful how
you order. Do you know
what tomalley is? The
word sounds exactly
the same.
Tomalley is the
gooey
green
bits
you’ll find between
a delectable lobster
tail and the rest of
the lobster. For prairie
folk like me, the idea
is to separate the tail
from the body cavity
without getting any of
the green ooze on it. It
doesn’t look especially
appealing.
My friends from
Atlantic Canada say
there’s nothing funnier
than watching a “CFA”

suppose they’re right.
While we clumsily
dissect the thing,
spraying
ourselves
with juice and getting
shell shards all over
everything, they calmly
pick away and get the
nice meat out of every
spindly leg. Then they
make a big show of
devouring the tomalley,
insisting it’s the best
part.
(Really? The best
part? I’ll trade you my
green guts for your
claws and tail, I offer.
They never go for it.)
W i k i p e d i a
describes
tomalley
as a “delicacy,” an
English word meaning
“something repulsive
that other people eat.”
But if you’re from PEI,
you don’t think of
tomalley as a delicacy.
You just see it as food.
For someone from
Saskatchewan,
it’s
definitely a delicacy,
and not in a good way.
I’ve tried tomalley,
and to be honest,
it’s not near as bad
as it looks (let’s face
it, it couldn’t be). A
Newfoundlander or a
Maritimer will still get
a laugh watching me
wrestle with the lobster
on my plate, but at least
I don’t panic anymore
at the sight of the pale
green mush.
But for all that, I’ll
take basic simple food
over a delicacy any
day. Pass the prairie

4 Wing Regaining Yellowknife FOL
Jeff Gaye
The
NORAD
Forward
Operating
Location
(FOL)
in
Yellowknife, NWT is
reverting to 4 Wing
control this spring.
It is one of four FOLs
that were constructed
in the 1990s to allow
fighters to deploy in
Canada’s north. The other
three were in Inuvik,
NWT, and Rankin Inlet
and Iqaluit in Nunavut.
The Yellowknife location
has been under 17 Wing
Winnipeg’s
command
since 2000.
The transition to
4 Wing will restore the
FOL for the fighter
force’s use. While CF-18
Hornets from Cold Lake
have used the hangar
facilities from time to
time since 2000, some
of the hangars and the
barracks
had
been
repurposed by 17 Wing
and Joint Task ForceNorth.
John White of 4
Wing
Logistics
says
the FOL is undergoing
“Inuvikization” between
now
and
spring.
“Everything is going to be
the same as at our FOL in
Inuvik,” he said. White
said MCpl Justin Hughes
of WLE “has been tasked
with determining what
needs to be thrown out,
what we can keep and what
needs to be brought in to
make it operational.”
That
includes
everything
from
furniture, bed linen and
laundry equipment to
upgrades to IT systems. It
also means sweeping for
electronic
surveillance
devices, or “bugs.”
“MCpl Hughes is
4 Wing’s operational
needs.
“FOL Yellowknife is
a NORAD facility and
it needs to be brought
back to life as a NORAD
facility,” he said.

Training Together to Protect the North
Lt Olivier Gallant
About 700 members
from
the
Canadian
Armed Forces and the
United States Air Force,
Navy, and Air National
Guard
braved
the
Arctic autumn during
the Vigilant Shield 16
NORAD Field Training
Exercise
held
in
Iqaluit, Nunavut, and
5 Wing Goose Bay,
Newfoundland
and
Labrador, from October
15 to 26.
The exercise was
part of an annual series
sponsored by NORAD.
It aimed at improving
NORAD’s
bi-national
operational
capability.
The participants were
challenged to detect,
deter and defend against
a variety of threats
to
North
America’s
sovereign airspace.
“This
year’s
exercise
scenarios
provided
participants
the
opportunity
to
train realistically and
practice their mission
in a simulated training
environment,” explained
LCol
Kyle
Paul,
the
air
task
force
commander
for
the
exercise. “The teamwork
between Canadians and
Americans has been
outstanding,
straight
from beginning of the
exercise. Both nations
were able to improve
their
interoperability
and,
ultimately,
to
demonstrate NORAD’s
ability to defend North
America.”
The exercise built on
previous years’ training
successes deploying air
assets and personnel to
the North to exercise
sovereignty
operations
in the high Arctic.
Approximately
150
personnel deployed to
the NORAD forward
operating location (FOL)
in Iqaluit, accompanied
by CF-18 Hornets, a CC130 Hercules, a CH-149
Cormorant
helicopter
and all the necessary
maintenance and support
personnel.
“Operating
from
Iqaluit
presented
a
number of challenges for
logistics, communications
and flying operations.
Nevertheless,
through
careful
planning,
cooperation with local
agencies, and hard work,
the Iqaluit detachment
was able to bring the
forward
operating
location facilities to an
operational state very
rapidly,” said LCol Dave
Turenne, the detachment
commander in Iqaluit.
The forward operating
location at Iqaluit is the
responsibility of 3 Wing
Bagotville, Quebec.
Likewise,
at
the
NORAD
forward
operating location in
5 Wing Goose Bay,
about 580 participants
from
the
Canadian
and American armed
forces deployed along
with a variety of assets.
Canadian assets included
a CC-150 Polaris, a CH146 Griffon helicopter,
and
a
deployable
military air space control

of NORAD’s mission and
showcase their role in the
defence of North America
as forward operating

Surgeon-General Reports on Suicide in CAF
Jeff Gaye
A
report
from
the Canadian Armed
Forces (CAF)’s SurgeonGeneral has identified
risk factors for suicide
among
regular-force
males.
The
SurgeonGeneral’s report found
that
while
suicide
rates did not increase
between
1995
and
2014, and the rate is
comparable to that of
males in the general
Canadian
population,
there are factors that
show some personnel to
be at greater risk than
others.
The study was limited
to regular-force males,
and did not include
reservists or released
members.
“A new landscape
is emerging in which
we see higher rates
in: 1) Regular Force
males within the Army
Command, 2) Regular
Force males within the
Combat Arms, and 3)
pre v iou sl y- deploye d
Regular Force males,”
the report said.
In
addition,
it
reads, the gap between
Regular
Force
male
suicide rates in the
Army Command versus
non-Army
Commands
is growing, which is
consistent with findings
from the US Armed
Forces.
Suicide was found
to be more prevalent
in
combat
arms
personnel, at 30 per
100,000, versus other
trades at 18 per 100,000.
“There is strong
evidence that the CAF
mission in Afghanistan
has had a powerful
impact on the mental
health of an important
minority of personnel
who
deployed
in
support of it,” the report
says.
The report cautions
that suicide is a complex
issue, and deployment
alone cannot account
for
its
prevalence.
“Focusing
only
on
deployment,
PTSD
or any of the other risk
factors discussed in this
report is an ineffective
approach
to
suicide
prevention.”
Wing Surgeon Maj
Ross Semeniuk of 22
Canadian Forces Health
Services Centre in Cold
Lake said the report
“demonstrates that life
in the military has an
effect on members and
it’s important to seek a
better
understanding
of the many factors that
contribute to suicide.”
“Everyone
has
a
collective and personal
responsibility to care for
those who need support,”

is
supported
by
“highly-capable
and
compassionate
personnel,” but “clearly
we must continually strive
to improve.”
“As directed by the
Minister, I will take
action to determine what
needs to be done to get
our members the help
they need,” he said.
“To all members
of the Canadian Armed
Forces, if you think
that you, or someone
you know needs help,
get it now,” Gen Vance
said. Go to your nearest
Canadian Armed Forces
health clinic or civilian
emergency health care
centre. All levels of
the Canadian Armed
Forces leadership, and I,
support you. You are not
alone.”
Maj
Semeniuk
said.
“And although there
is no magic formula
for suicide prevention,
early
engagement
with
Mental
Health
resources
provides
the best opportunity
for a positive outcome.
22 CF Health Services
Centre has a strong
multidisciplinary
team
to
coordinate
care
wherever a member may
be on the Mental Health
Continuum.”
“True success in
addressing
suicide
comes from a shared
responsibility
and
confidence in a system
that supports those who
reach out for care.”
Minister of National
Defence Harjit Singh
Sajjan issued a statement
on the report.
“Throughout
my
career I have seen firsthand the demands of
military service, and the
sometimes
enormous
impact it can have on
members
and
their
families,” he said.
“I have asked the
Chief of the Defence
Staff to examine this
issue as a priority
and to identify a way
forward.”
Gen Jonathan Vance,
Chief of the Defence
Staff, said the CAF’s

and media.
“This is a great
opportunity to showcase
the region and all we
have to offer,” Cold Lake
mayor Craig Copeland
said. “It can give a
chance for our own
aspiring
athletes
to
volunteer and see what
the Games are about, and
provide a great event for
families to attend.”
Ed Rondeau, reeve of
MD of Bonnyville No. 87,
said the region can gain
through
cooperation.
“The Municipal District
of Bonnyville is proud to
be a partnering sponsor
for the 2018 Alberta
Summer Games bid,”
he said. “Winning the
Summer
Games
bid
would be a wonderful
example of what the
region can achieve when
it works together.”
The Alberta Summer
Games are held every two
years, with the Winter
Games running in the
intervening years. The
2016 summer games
will be in Leduc, and
will include athletics,
baseball,
basketball,
canoe-kayak,
cycling
(BMX and mountain
bike), football, lacrosse,
rugby, soccer, softball,
swimming, triathlon and
beach volleyball.
The winning bid for
2018 will be announced
by the end of this year,
and if the Lakeland
is successful, the bid
committee will be looking
for a games chairperson
and
a
number
of
volunteers.

Canada Participates in
Largest NATO Exercise Since 2002
DND
Earlier this month,
1,650 Canadian Armed
Forces (CAF) sailors,
soldiers, airmen and
airwomen, and Special
Operations
Forces
personnel in Portugal,
Spain, Italy and at
sea completed the live
exercise
portion
of
JointEx 15.
JointEx is a biennial
Canadian exercise and a
keystone for CAF posture
and readiness activity
aimed
at
enhancing
mission
preparedness.
The live exercise (LivEx)
phase occurred from
October 21 to November
6 in Western Europe.
Activities leading up to
the LivEx included senior
staff officer training
during a “table top”
exercise in Ottawa earlier
this year and Combined
Joint Inter-Agency Task
Force
Headquarters
staff training during a
“command post” exercise
in Meaford, Ontario in
September and October.
For
the
LivEx
portion of JointEx 15
Canada contributed a
Canadian multinational
task force headquarters, a
Canadian Army brigade
with
multinational
elements attached, four
ships, one submarine,
Canadian Special Forces
elements and three CC130 Hercules aircraft.
“The
Canadian
Armed
Forces
is
considered to be one
of the most responsive
armed forces within the
[NATO] alliance,” said
Gen Jonathan Vance,
Chief of the Defence
Staff. “As such, Canada
has
been
a
major
contributor to NATO
operations.
He
said
Canadian participation
in
NATO
exercises
“is another example
of
our
commitment
to supporting NATO
by providing modern,
deployable
capabilities
to allied missions and
highly
trained
personnel.”
JointEx has four
general objectives:
• Practice, evaluate
and
improve
CAF
capacity and ability to
command and conduct
joint combined integrated
forces
in
complex
operations.
• Practice, evaluate
and further develop
national
contingency
plans.
• A d v a n c e ,
integrate and evaluate
force development and
joint force capability
enhancements.
• D e v e l o p ,
document
and
institutionalize the CAF
distributed training and
simulation capability.
The
JointEx
series
advances
mission
preparedness
by
practicing
joint
combined and integrated
expeditionary
full
spectrum
operations,
developing
concepts
and procedures, and
providing a focus for
force development.
“I am proud of the
contribution our sailors,
soldiers, airmen and
airwomen have made
to this historic training
event,” said LGen Steve
Bowes,
commander
of
Canadian
Joint
Operations Command.
“Thanks to their efforts
in
developing
our
interoperability, they are
improving the Canadian
Armed Forces’ ability
to conduct successful
joint and multinational
operations in the future.”

Cpl Bryan Christie, W Ops
The military is rich with
traditions that make up the core
of military life. From the act of
saluting to the detailed manner in
which members honour their fallen
brothers and sisters, tradition
is found in every facet of the
Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
Perhaps the most visible of our
traditions is the uniform.
The uniform allows members
to identify as CAF personnel and
shows what element of the forces
they represent. The uniform is
worn proudly with high regard for
detail, but many people outside the
CAF do not fully understand the
rich history behind the uniform.
Shortly following unification,
service-specific uniforms were
discontinued in favour of a green
tunic and pants for all members.
The ranks of the Royal Canadian
Navy (RCN) and the Royal
Canadian Air Force (RCAF) unified
with the Canadian Army ranks
and insignia. In 1986 the branchspecific Distinctive Environmental
Uniforms
were
reinstituted,
allowing members to identify with
their specific branch. This uniform
remained in use in the RCAF until
2015 when the rank structure,
4501#:50%":'03*/$3&%*#-&
0''&34"/%6/#&"5"#-&4&37*$&
.05*0/.0503410354
"-#&35"-5%
#0//:7*--&"#5/-
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
insignia and buttons changed
from golden yellow to a pearl-grey
colour - similar to that worn before
unification of Canada's Armed
Forces in 1968.
The military rank structure
is
divided
between
NonCommissioned Members (NCMs)
and Officers. In 2015, the RCAF
changed the NCM rank of
"Private" to “Aviator.”
As the RCAF uniform reverts
back to its traditional colour
scheme, members should take
even more pride in their ability
to represent their team and the
history behind it. It wasn’t that
long ago when all members of the
CAF wore the same uniform. The
ability to differentiate the different
forms of service should not be
taken for granted.
Whether
your
motto
is
“Vigilamus pro Te”, “Per Ardua
ad Astra” or “Ready, Aye, Ready,”
members of all three elements
can stand proudly shoulder to
shoulder with brothers and sisters
throughout the Canadian Armed
Forces.

Alberta Recognizes
DND Driver Quals

Get Your Flu Shot!
Jeff Gaye
MCpl F Van Putten
Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour Minister Lori Sigurdson presented a special
Support Our Troops licence plate to Col Kenny to celebrate the success of the
fundraising initiative launched by the Ministry of Transportation last year.
Sigurdson used the occasion to announce that the Province of Alberta would
recognize DND operator qualifications at the provincial level, eliminating the
need for military drivers to re-qualify for a provincial licence.
Col Kenny and WCWO
Roy led by example
and got their flu shots
in early November. OS
McNeil of 22 CF Health
Svcs C did the honours.
If everyone is vaccinated,

Game On!
Derek Coe,
Health Promotion
Manager
Do you know what
MMORPG, FPS, or RTS
stands for? If you do,
chances are you’ve played
more than a video game
or two in your lifetime.
For those who don’t,
they stand for Massively
Multiplayer
Online
Role-Playing
Games,
First Person Shooter
and Real Time Strategy,
respectively. These are
some of the many types of
games that can be found
on the many popular
and accessible gaming
platforms.
As a self-proclaimed
heavy gamer in my
elementary
school
years, I considerably
reduced my time playing
games because of my
involvement in sports
and community interests.
I would still call myself
a mild gamer, as I find
games to be enjoyable and
mentally stimulating.
I chose the word
“mild” because I’m able
to restrict how much I
play (a few hours a month,
if that) and can easily
pull myself away from
any game I’m playing.
I would say I have a
healthy balance where my
gaming does not pose
problems to any aspect of
my life.
But this is not the
case for everyone. And
with the advancement in
gaming technology and
accessibility to games,
more people are playing
more games more often.
For example, it was
estimated that by 2012,
people around the world
had a combined 6 million
years of playing time
on World of Warcraft.
Now factor in every
other game out there,
including games on your
phone, and this number
increases exponentially.
Although
these
games may be fun, it’s
time to ask ourselves
if we need to cut down
how much time we spend
playing video games. Ask
yourself the following
questions: do I have a
decreased interest in
other activities as a result
of my gaming? Am I
visibly agitated or anxious
when not playing games?
Do I lose track of time
because of my gaming?
Have I been having
difficulty sleeping, or am
I restless? Have I been
getting headaches more
frequently? Have my
eating habits started to
decline, or are they bad to
begin with because of my
gaming? Am I replacing
social time with video
gaming? Has my work
performance decreased,
or am I neglecting
various work duties?
If you answered yes
to any of these, now might
be time to put your games
away and evaluate how
you’re spending your time
before things start to get
out of control. Remember,
playing
games
isn’t
necessarily a problem,
but playing them to the
point where they have a
negative impact on your
life and relationships is a
problem.
If you would like
more
information
on gaming or other
addictions,
please
contact your local Health
Promotion Department at
780-840-8000 extension
6958, or visit www.forces.
gc.ca/wastedtime. If you
visit the website between
November 12 and 26, you
have the opportunity to
be entered into a daily
draw as well as a grand
prize draw sponsored by

Story Time with Santa
MFRC’s Story Time
with Santa will be held
Friday, December 11
from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
in the MFRC Assembly
Hall. This free event
is open to all residents
of Cold Lake and
surrounding area.
Last
year
this
event attracted more
than 300 community
members
who
participated in crafts,
milk and cookies, visiting
and writing letters to
Santa, and connecting
with other Cold Lake
families. New this year
will be the family photo
booth!
It’s tough to be
away from your family
at Christmas, but it’s
a way of life for many
military and non-military
families. When going
home for Christmas is
not an option, families
are resilient in making
Christmas special for
their families no matter
where they are. Whether
you’re a Cold Lake
family surrounded by
loved ones; or a family
experiencing their first
Christmas away from
home; or a family living
through
deployment,
the MFRC is able to
help make Christmas
a little more special by
offering Story Time with
Santa.
All
Cold
Lake
families are invited to
join us for fun, crafts and
friendship!
If you have any
questions regarding the
Story Time with Santa
please contact the MFRC
at 780-594-6006.
Skate with Santa
The PSP Community
Recreation Department
is hosting the annual
Skate with Santa on
Saturday,
December
12 from 1:00 pm to
3:00 pm at the Col JJ Parr
Arena. All Cold Lake
community members are
invited to participate in a
free holiday afternoon of
fun with Santa! We look
forward to seeing you at
the rink.

y aura du nouveau cette
année avec une cabine

Il est difficile d'être
loin de votre famille à
Noël, mais c’est le mode
de vie de nombreuses
familles de militaires et
civiles. Lorsque le retour
à la maison pour Noël
n’est pas une option, les
familles doivent faire
preuve
de
résilience
pour faire de Noël une
journée spéciale pour
leur famille, peu importe
où se trouvent leurs
membres. Que vous soyez
une famille à Cold Lake
entourée de vos proches,
vivant
son
premier
Noël loin de la maison
ou avec un membre en
déploiement, le CRFM est
en mesure de contribuer
à faire de Noël une
journée un peu plus
spéciale avec L’heure du

Toutes les familles de
Cold Lake sont invitées
à se joindre à nous pour
avoir du plaisir, faire de
l'artisanat et nouer des

It’s Sports Day in Canada
The Courier
Participation,
teamwork, fitness and fun
are the aims of Sports Day
in Canada this coming
Friday and Saturday.
4 Wing will host
events
for
military
members on Friday, and
then focus on family fun
on Saturday.
Friday
has
been
designated as Jersey Day –
members are encouraged
to wear their favourite
team’s gear, whether it’s a
unit hockey team or a pro
team’s colours.
Friday Sports will
include hockey, volleyball,
curling, squash, innertube water polo, mukluk
soccer, a spinn-a-thon
and a scavenger hunt.
S a t u r d a y ’ s
community sports day
will include a dodge ball
tournament and free
skating, swimming and
rock wall climbing.
4 Wing Commander
Col Eric Kenny said sports
are “an integral part of
the continuing training
and development” of
military
members,
“developing
such
attributes as leadership,
esprit de corps, physical
fitness and the warrior
spirit.”
C o m m u n i t y
activities, he said, help
to improve physical and
mental health, promote
community integration
and
build
family
relationships.
Josey
Yearley,
4
Wing’s Fitness and Sports
Manager, says a special
event like this can give
a boost to the military’s
fitness culture. “It’s like
pressing
the
refresh
button,” she said. “It gets
people re-excited and reignited.”
The whole idea is to
have fun, as a competitor
or even as a spectator,
she said. Units will be
evaluated for their team
spirit as much as for their
athletic prowess, and
Wing Commander’s Cup
points will be awarded.
Sports Day in Canada
is coordinated across the
Canadian Armed Forces
by
Canadian
Forces
Morale
and
Welfare
Services. It is presented
by ParticipAction, True
Sport and CBC as a
celebration of sport at
all levels. More than one
million Canadians will
participate in activities
leading up to the CBC’s
Sports Day in Canada
broadcast on November
21.
C’est la Journée du sport au Canada
The Courier
Participation,
travail
d’équipe,
conditionnement
physique et plaisir – tels
sont les objectifs de la
Journée du sport au
Canada, qui sera célébrée
vendredi et samedi.
La
4e
Escadre
organisera
des
compétitions pour les
militaires
vendredi,
puis se concentrera sur
les activités familiales
samedi.
La
journée
de
vendredi a été désignée
« journée du maillot de
sport » : les militaires
sont invités à porter le
chandail de leur équipe
préférée, qu’il s’agisse
de l’équipe de hockey
de leur unité ou des
couleurs d’une équipe
professionnelle.
Plusieurs
activités
sportives
seront
au
programme
de
la
journée de vendredi
: hockey, volley-ball,
curling, squash, waterpolo flotteur, soccer en
mukluk, cyclothon et
chasse au trésor.
Le
programme
de samedi dans la
collectivité sera tout aussi
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
varié : tournoi de ballon
chasseur, patinage libre,
natation et escalade sur
mur de pierre.
Le Col Eric Kenny,
commandant
de
la
4e Escadre, a indiqué
que les sports « font
partie intégrante de
l’entraînement et du
perfectionnement
continus » des militaires
et qu’ils contribuent à «
développer des attributs
tels que le leadership,
l’esprit de corps, la bonne
forme physique et l’esprit
du guerrier ».
Les
activités
communautaires,
a-t-
il précisé, aident à
améliorer
la
santé
physique et mentale, à
promouvoir l’intégration
communautaire et à
consolider les relations
familiales.
Josey
Yearley,
gestionnaire
de
la
condition physique et des
sports de la 4e Escadre,
précise pour sa part
qu’une activité spéciale
de ce genre peut donner
un élan à la culture
de
conditionnement
physique
chez
les
militaires.
«
Cela
équivaut en quelque
sorte à appuyer sur le
bouton
“Rafraîchir”,
explique-t-elle. C’est une
activité qui redonne de
l’entrain et qui revivifie.
»
L’idée
consiste
à avoir du plaisir, en
tant que concurrent ou
en tant que spectateur,
précise t-elle. Les unités
seront évaluées aussi
bien pour leur esprit
d’équipe que pour leurs
prouesses
athlétiques,
et des points seront
attribués pour la Coupe
du
commandant
de
l’escadre.
La
Journée
du
sport au Canada est
coordonnée
partout
dans les Forces armées
canadiennes
par
les
Services de bien-être
et moral des Forces
canadiennes.
Présenté
conjointement
par
ParticipAction,
Sport
pur et Radio-Canada, cet
événement vise à mettre
en valeur le sport à tous
les niveaux. Plus d’un
million de Canadiens
et
de
Canadiennes
participeront aux activités
entourant la Journée
du sport au Canada,
qui sera diffusée à

Carnival will Entertain and Educate
on Persons with Disabilities Day
Jeff Gaye
Thursday, December
3 is the International
Day for Persons with
Disabilities (IDPD), and
the Regional Abilities
Awareness
Committee
has a day of fun and
educational
activities
planned.
Events
will
take
place at the Cold Lake
Energy
Centre
field
house from 10:00 am
to 2:00 pm. Agencies
representing people with
different disabilities will
offer interactive and
insightful exhibits that
are intended to show
what it’s like to live with
a disability and how to
overcome it.
Theresa Seraphim,
an employment specialist
with
EmployAbilities
in
Bonnyville,
said
the idea is “to have
fun and help people
learn in a way that’s
respectful.”
IDPD is a United
Nations-declared
day
which
is
celebrated
worldwide. The theme
for 2015 is “Inclusion
matters:
access
and
empowerment of people
of all abilities.”
The
local
event
will address the theme
with an “Access for All”
carnival. In addition to
the interactive activities
there will be popcorn
and cotton candy to help
create a fun atmosphere.
The event is open to
everyone and is free of
charge.
The list of presenting
agencies hasn’t been
confirmed,
but
Seraphim says many
have been invited and
she is expecting a great
response. “Schools have
really come forward,” she
said.
“It’s going to be a
great day. We encourage
everybody
to
come
out, have some fun
and learn at the same
time.”

This Week at the Movie Club
Jeff Gaye
Southpaw
Southpaw
is
the
story of a boxer (Billy
Hope, played by Jake
Gyllenhall) who retires
at the peak of his
career due to an eye
injury. His life takes
a terrible turn when
his wife is killed, and he
descends into a spiral
of
substance
abuse
which results in his
daughter being placed
with Child Protective
Services.
Billy takes a job
in a gym, and with
reluctant help from a
new trainer, sets his sights
on getting his revenge in
the ring.
It’s not Rocky or
Raging Bull, but it has all
the elements of a good
sports flick, including
the underdog hero on a
mission for justice. The
fight scenes put you right
in the ring.
The
4
Wing
Movie Club presents
Southpaw at 7:00 pm on
Wednesday, November
18 at the 4 Wing Theatre.
Admission is free to
defence team members,

a sweet potato who fronts
a band of vegetable
characters. On their way
to a show at Vegetable

Mirabelle’s sweet, kind
nature mellow Mr Beet’s
demeanour?
Ve g g i eTa l e s

Christian

À l’affiche le 20 novembre :
Maurice Richard (« The Rocket »)
Jeff Gaye
Le prochain film
français présenté par
le ciné-club de la 4e
Escadre sera Maurice
Richard (lancé en anglais
au Canada sous le nom de
The Rocket: The Maurice
Richard Story et aux États
Unis, comme The Rocket:
The Legend of Rocket
Richard).
Maurice « Rocket
» Richard (1921-2000)
demeure
l’un
des
hockeyeurs professionnels
les plus légendaires. Il
était à la fois intense et
robuste, et grâce à une
combinaison de talent et
de détermination, il s’est
classé parmi les pointeurs
les plus prolifiques du
sport.
Il
est
également
devenu un symbole de
fierté pour les Québécois
francophones, à une
époque où la confiance
du peuple québécois était
en plein essor. L’« émeute
du Forum », au cours de
laquelle des partisans
ont protesté contre la
suspension de Maurice
Richard, imposée au
hockeyeur pour avoir
frappé un arbitre, est
parfois considérée comme
l’élément déclencheur de
la Révolution tranquille
au Québec, époque de
renaissance intellectuelle,
culturelle et politique.
Le film retrace la
carrière du Rocket, de ses
débuts comme ouvrier
adolescent jusqu’à ses
années dans la ligue
mineure, ainsi que ses
jours avec les Canadiens
de Montréal. Le film,
alliant des séquences
historiques et des scènes
de
hockey
tournées
précisément en vue de
celui-ci, renferme aussi la
performance honorable
de l’acteur principal Roy
Dupuis sur ses patins.
En fait, M. Dupuis,
l’actrice principale Julie
LeBreton et l’acteur de
soutien Stephen McHattie
ont remporté des prix
Gémeaux
pour
leur
interprétation. Outre ces
prix, le film a aussi récolté
six prix Gémeaux dans
d’autres catégories et il a
été en nomination dans
quatre autres catégories.
On
reconnaît
également
l’exactitude
factuelle de ce film. De
nombreuses sources ont
été consultées pour établir
les faits de l’histoire,
et (dans la mesure du
possible) pour distinguer
les faits de la légende.
Tout bien pesé, la légende
tient la route, même sous
un examen rigoureux des
faits.
Bien que le film
Maurice Richard date de
dix ans, il s’agit tout de
même d’un document
historique important et
d’un récit divertissant.
Maurice Richard sera
présenté au théâtre de
la 4e Escadre, à 19 h, le
vendredi 20 novembre.
Entrée gratuite pour
les
membres
de
l’Équipe de la Défense
(la carte UneFC est la
forme
d’identification
privilégiée).
Meet Padre Marcin Rosinski
Padre marcin
rosinski
“They have called
him from a far country
– far but always near
through the communion
of faith…”
Those words were
spoken at St. Peter's
Square on October 16,
1978, when for the first
time in over 400 years a
non-Italian was elected
pope. Why do I recall
these words? Not only
because John Paul II,
who said those words, was
a great man.
He was a great
man for many people,
for whom the dignity and
greatness of man – no
matter what their birth,
origin, race or faith is
– is important, but also
for anyone who loves
freedom and is ready to
cross borders, although
it might seem wrong, to
reach towards another
person.
Of course, I'm far

many ways. On the
other hand, in some
ways I and others are like
him. After all, do not the
same values prevail in
Canada? This is where so
many people find their
safe home. Here our
patriotism is quiet but
deep and here we stand
united, irrespective of
whether Canada is the
nation of our birth or of
our choice, where our
lifestyle is the envy of the
world.
In this short article
I would like to say hello
to the whole community
of CFB Cold Lake and
briefly introduce myself.
Like John Paul II,
I arrived from a distant
country. I was born
and raised in Poland.
Upon completing my
formal education there,
my
authorities
sent
me to work in Canada
which has become my
home and my second
homeland. Over the past
12 years I have worked
in BC, among the Innu
Nation in Labrador, and
then in various parishes
in Brampton, Toronto
and Mississauga.
For a long time it has
been my desire to serve
those who serve us, as a
chaplain. After three years
of petitions and letters I
got permission to serve in
the reserves. The Toronto
Scottish Regiment was
my regiment for over
three years. Again, after
several requests I received
permission to begin my
ministry as a Padre in the

kindly

sincerely thank them for
it. It’s good to be home!

Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
Drab surroundings appear to put a damper on an event.
Don’t be alarmed, Capricorn. Something else may be at
work. A foe-turned-friend deserves congratulations.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Announcements are made at work all week long, causing
excitement for some and agony for others. Be positive,
Aquarius. There is so much good to come.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Your heart aches for a friend who is struggling. Do what
you can to keep their spirits up and cheer them on, Pisces.
They will come out smiling.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
Motivation seriously lags at work. It is up to you to rally the
troops and get everything moving again. Look to a unique
attraction to help, Aries.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Enthusiasm is contagious, Taurus. If you’re excited, think
how many others will be, too. Spread the word! A purchase
at home stirs the pot.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
Sales are booming! What are you waiting for, Gemini? Stop
putting off that major purchase. You will never find a better
deal. A senior makes a decision.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Can it, Cancer. You have a lot to say, but it won’t do any
good if no one is willing to listen. Hold your peace until a
more opportune time arises.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
A deadline is moved up, and everyone begins to feel the
noose around their neck tighten. Keep your nose to the
grindstone, Leo, and you will succeed.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
Excellent, Virgo. You stick to your guns, and you get it
done. A party may be in order. A shortage in revenue
comes to an end with an ingenious idea.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
You’re not one to make bets, but you are dealing with a
sure thing, Libra. There is no way you are going to lose. No
way! A belief is challenged.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
You wish, Scorpio. You wish things at work were different,
but they are not. Deal with it and move on. A project at
home gets off to a rousing start.
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21
Strength in numbers, Sagittarius. The more people you
bring around, the better outcome you can expect. A loved
one’s need for independence becomes clear.

Honours for
Local
Photographer
Jeff Gaye
Cold Lake portrait photographer Cindy
Couture has won recognition for three of
her images in the annual Canadian Armed
Forces Photo Contest.
Couture took first place in the “People”
and “Sports” categories (Advanced Class), as
well as an Honourable Mention in the People
category.
This year’s prizes aren’t the first for
Couture. She has had entries in the winners’
circle for the past four years. These are her
first submissions from Cold Lake, however, as
she has relocated her studio from Bagotville
since last year’s competition.
She said uprooting an established
business has its challenges, but she is building
her client base in Cold Lake.
The CAF Photo Contest has been running
continuously since 1968. The program is
organized by CAF Imaging Systems Program
Management office and CF Morale and
Welfare Services, and made possible through
partnership with private industry.
Prizes are awarded in Novice and
Advanced classes for Military Life, People,
Animals,
Architecture,
Environment,
Macrophotography,
Sports
and
Open
categories.
Couture will receive her awards in a
ceremony at the Canadian War Museum on
November 25.
