The Liberation of
Holland and VE Day
In Canada’s history,
our military history in
particular, it’s impossible
to identify our finest
hour: a single event that
we can point to and say
“this is who we are.”
Where to begin?
Vimy Ridge comes to
mind, as do the many
victories and setbacks
throughout the muddy,
bloody battles of World
War I.
Where else? The
Battle of Britain? Hong
Kong? The Battle of the
Atlantic? Our rout at
Dieppe? Our victorious
campaign through Italy?
All these, and more,
stand as examples of
courage and sacrifice
–
Canadians
giving
everything they have in
the soul-crushing misery
of global war.
Last week was the
70th anniversary of the
liberation of Holland,
when Canadians freed
the people of the
Netherlands from Nazi
occupation. This moment
stands out because it
symbolizes
Canada’s
cause in all the other
conflicts: to take risks
and make sacrifices for
the sake of others.
Everything our navy,
army and air force had
done to that point was
directed toward the
liberation of Europe,
and the march into
Holland wouldn’t have
been possible without
the previous years of
effort. The defining
difference may be that
our soldiers finally came
face-to-face with the
people they had freed,
and that they were on
hand to receive their
gratitude.
That gratitude lives
on in the close friendship
that still exists between
Canada and Holland.
For the grandchildren of
the liberators, it can be
almost embarrassing to
accept the still-fervent
thanks for something
our generation wasn’t
personally involved in.
But if we weren’t
part of the liberation
of Holland, it is part
of us. When the Dutch
celebrate our veterans
and honour our dead
– more generously and
more solemnly than we
do – we should thank
them for reminding us of
what it should mean to
be Canadian.

Summer Reading Program 2015
Theme: Play
Watch for Up-Coming Schedule.
Summertime is all about freedom
- no school, no rules, no structure.
You can make up each day, and
every day is different. Whether
you’re on your own or with your
friends, outside or inside or
upside down, summer is the time
for fun and play. For the summer
of 2015, we’re encouraging
kids to see reading as play,
and discover that the joyful,
boundless and carefree feelings
associated with play can just as
easily be found in a great book.
We want kids to have fun reading
and share this joy, while they
have the freedom to choose,
explore, discover and play, any
way they want.
Books on Wheels
The Cold Lake Public Library
offers a Books on Wheels service
to Cold Lake Lodge, Points West

National Road Safety Week May 11 to 17
W TEME Road and
Vehicle Safety
Distracted
Driving
is any activity that could
divert a person’s attention
away from the primary
task of driving and it’s
the leading cause in 30
per cent of all collisions.
All distractions endanger
driver, passenger, and
bystander safety.
Distractions
can
include:
• Texting
• Using a cell phone
or smartphone
• Eating and
drinking
• Talking to
passengers
• Personal grooming
• Reading, including
maps
• Using a
navigational system
• Watching a video
• Adjusting a radio,
CD player, or MP3 player
The best way to end
distracted driving is to
educate those on the
road about the danger it
poses.
Let’s
talk
about
texting. Because text
messaging requires the
driver’s visual, manual have travelled 467 m
and cognitive attention, (at 50 km/h on dry road
it is the most alarming surface).

the potential hazards
on the road, is being

worth the risk? Being
distracted or inattentive
affects your ability to
recognize a hazard, react
in time and avoid the
hazard.
Many drivers view
driving as a simple
everyday
task
that
requires
minimal
attention. The fact is,
driving is a complex task
that requires your full
attention every time you
get behind the wheel.
Distracted
driving
is a deadly behaviour.
By
improving
our
understanding of how
mental and physical
distractions
impair
our ability to drive we
can eliminate needless
crashes that cause death
and injury on our roads
every day.
Road and Vehicle
Safety reminds everyone
to drive safe. Keep
your mind on the
task of driving, keep
your eyes on the road,
and keep your hands on
the wheel!

Grads Eligible for CWO Stauffer Scholarships
WCWO Bob Viel
The
CWO
Peter
Stauffer
Memorial
Scholarships
were
created by the Medley
CFB Society in honour of
Peter Stauffer, the Wing
Chief Warrant Officer
and an active member
of the Society from July
2000 until July 2004.
CWO Stauffer passed
away due to cancer
September 19, 2004. The
Society presents $2,500
scholarships in his name
each academic year.
In June 2005, the
first two $1,000 CWO
Peter Stauffer Memorial
Scholarships
were
presented by Mrs. Rae
Stauffer to honour her
late husband’s memory.
To date, the Medley CFB
Society has presented
fifteen scholarships to
deserving students.
CWO Stauffer was
dedicated to developing
and strengthening the
character of the military
family and improving
the quality of life for the
community in general.
He was well-known for his
commitment and support
to the entire Cold Lake
community, and was
a strong advocate of
community participation
throughout his tenure as
WCWO.
The
application
process for the Memorial
Scholarships is open
to all graduating high
school students who are
dependants of personnel
currently serving at 4
Wing in the CAF (Regular
or Reserve), or as DND
or
NPF
employees.
The students must be
planning on pursuing
full-time
postsecondary studies at a
recognized educational
institution (academic or
technical), must have
maintained a consistent
academic
standing
and have contributed
to the community in a
demonstrable manner.
Students
should
note that a consistent
academic standing does
not indicate they must
be on the “honour roll.”
If you have maintained
a consistent grade point
average – whether at a
“C” level or an “A” level –
you meet that eligibility
requirement.
Peter
Stauffer never insisted
that personnel “be the best”
– only that they “do their
best” and try to better
themselves.
The most important
application requirement
is a 500-word essay
on either Leadership,
Quality of Life, or
Community Spirit. These
values defined Peter
Stauffer and were the
ones he most encouraged
others to develop. It is
critical that applying
students provide a clear
and well thought out
presentation of what their
selected quality means to
them and illustrate that
quality’s influence in
their own lives.
The
Medley
CFB Society is very
proud to sponsor the
CWO
Peter
Stauffer
Memorial Scholarships
for dependants of 4
Wing personnel and
eagerly anticipate the
application submissions
we receive each year. We
encourage all eligible
students to apply for
these scholarships. The
deadline for this year’s
submissions is June 12.

The Kingsway Clinic
of the Cold Lake Primary
Care Network (PCN) is
running near its capacity,
but no-show patients
are affecting its overall
efficiency.
Patients who fail to
show up for appointments,
or who cancel at the
last minute, are causing
inconvenience for other
patients, says Sheryl
McCormick, the PCN’s
Executive Director. “If
people don’t let us know
they’re
not
showing,
there’s no chance of
getting someone else in,”
she said.
The problem exists
at both PCN locations.
Kingsway Clinic, located
in the Canex mall, is
open to the general public
so military families are
not specifically to blame,
McCormick said. But
with 262 no-shows and 55
last-minute cancellations
at PCN clinics in the
last four months, it’s a
problem that she says
needs to be addressed.
“Our goal is to
provide quality care in
a timely manner,” she
said. “The health care
system is an easy target
for finding fault over ease
of access, but sometimes
it’s not the system that’s
failing patients.” The
missed
appointments
add up to 13.25 days
worth, and that can mean
significant delays for
patients who need to see
one of the PCN’s nurse
practitioners.
“We just ask patients
to
be
courteous,”
McCormick
said.
“Kingsway
had
13
appointments
booked
one day and there were
eight no-shows out of
the 13. That’s eight other
patients who could have
been seen more quickly
if we had been called in
time to book someone
in.”
Kingsway
Clinic
is
open
Tuesdays,
Wednesdays
and
Thursdays from 8:30 am
to 4:30 pm. Patients must
make an appointment to
see a nurse practitioner
during
those
hours.

also

A Holistic Consideration of Overall Health
Padre Henry Hoy
As chaplains within
the chapel context, we
advocate religion – a
specific belief system. But
the majority of our work
is outside of the chapel
context. A chaplain’s
approach to physical
and mental health is
based in spirituality – the
connection to the sacred,
which can be external
to religion, values, or
morals.
The
spiritual
approach is a holistic
approach to helping
the whole person rather
than focusing on the
symptoms of trouble.
When one part is not
healthy, it can affect the
whole person. Therefore,
it examines the physical,
mental, emotional and
spiritual elements of a
person and how they
are interconnected to
maintain optimal health.
As
one
of
my
doctor friends said to
me, “A doctor’s role
is to cure diseases
through
medication,
treatment and external
intervention. It is what
the chaplain does that
heals.”
External intervention
may include professionals
like the social worker,
the psychologist, and
the chaplain as “healers,”
where healing restores
the balance and harmony
to the body, mind and
spirit. They are essential
to combat the negative
influences of disease, loss
or life changes.
A holistic approach
supports all aspects of

HOROSCOPES
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
People are on edge at work. Don’t add fuel to the fire,
Capricorn. An announcement will be made soon enough. A
friend’s luck takes a turn for the better.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Quiet, Aquarius. Crazier ideas have been had. Keep your
reservations to yourself. A tried-and-true method could use
some fine-tuning at home.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
A picture is worth a thousand words, Pisces. Show your
support. A trade at the office gets things back on track. News
from home shakes things up.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
Travel plans hit a glitch. Lucky for you, Aries, a pro will step in to
help. Birthday wishes come true for a loved one. A charity event
begins.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
You can yell all you want, Taurus, but it will get you nowhere.
You’re going to need to adopt a more subtle approach. A
package arrives just in time.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
Grimy Gemini. That’s how you’re going to feel this week when
you have to make some underhanded moves. Relax, it is for the
greater good.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Cheeky Cancer. You’re no fool. You know how to play the game
and win. A friend, on the other hand, is not so lucky. They could
use a few pointers.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
Meddlesome loved ones make for a trying week. Patience, Leo.
They just want to help. A hobby moves front and center with a
small purchase.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
Courage does not come easily, especially in the face of
adversity. Salute those who have shown it, Virgo. A task is
completed way ahead of schedule.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
Ooh-la-la, Libra. You receive an invitation to one of the year’s
biggest events. Get ready to don your dancing shoes. A puzzle
is solved with some effort.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Shoot, Scorpio. You knew it all along, but you were sworn to
secrecy and could do nothing. You can be a source of comfort,
however. A text intrigues you.
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21
What happens at home is nothing short of a miracle. Show
your gratitude to all involved, Sagittarius. A loved one recovers
quickly.
