LCol Marc Torchinsky (left), LCol Jean Mallais and Capt Jen Campbell, with the Royal Canadian Air Force Family Support Team,
meet with 4 Wing Cold Lake personnel and spouses at the MFRC to discuss family support issues.
Jeff Gaye
The RCAF Family Support
Team (FST) visited Cold Lake
last week as part of its mandate
to speak with RCAF members
and their families at every wing
and unit across the country.
4 Wing is the 14th location the
team has visited so far.
The
FST
gathers
information on matters that
affect RCAF families and
forwards it to appropriate
agencies. Team member LCol
Jean Mallais says that while
each location has its own
challenges, the major concerns
are common across the RCAF.
“The biggest is housing –
the quality and the cost,” he
said. Child care and education
are also common concerns.
These challenges and some
others, he said, are connected
to the frequent moves in a
military family’s life.
Those who attended the
FST’s Family Forum on
Tuesday had positive things
to say about the Cold Lake
community, but their concerns
echoed what the team had
heard at other stops. Access to
medical specialists and other
medical access issues were also
raised.
Wing Chaplains, MFRC
and PSP had personnel on hand
to answer attendees’ questions
about local services.
The RCAF established
the FST in response to the
Canadian Forces Ombudsman’s
2013 report. That report said
the level of services available to
military families is as high as
ever, but their availability is not
being effectively communicated
to members and their families.
LCol Mallais said the team’s
mandate is to communicate
with RCAF families; facilitate
access to services; advocate on
behalf of members and their
families; and to gather and
share best practices among
wings and units. The key, he
said, is that the FST came to
listen.
“No
presentation,
no
Power Point,” he said. “Our
job is to be the eyes and ears
of the commanders. The
information we gather carries
weight because it comes from
the families – they speak from
experience.”
In fact, Commanding
Officers and Unit Warrant
Officers were discouraged from
attending so that families could
feel free to speak up.
Padre Marc Torchinsky,
one of the team members, told
attendees “you can be assured
that what we discuss will be
taken seriously and taken
to the people who can make
changes.”
While LCol Mallais admits
the
improvement
process
can be slow, he said the team
has already notched some
victories on behalf of families.
All provinces and territories
have agreed to extend medical
coverage for families as they
move from posting to posting,
eliminating gaps caused by
residency requirements. There
are also plans to institute a
national drivers’ licence and to
make professional and trade
qualifications transferable from
one province to another.

Last inspection (date): _______________________________
Furnace filter checked monthly and replaced (if necessary).
Date last replaced: __________________________________
Indoor and outdoor vents and chimneys cleared of debris, snow and ice (if necessary).
Area around fuel-burning appliances clutter free.
Flames of all natural gas appliances checked
regularly (it should be blue).

This “4 Wing Fling”
idea came up kind
of suddenly, but it
sounds like fun. If you
don’t know what I’m
talking about please see
the announcement on
page 6.
It’s been an eventful
few weeks filled with hard
work, some stress and
more than a little sorrow.
Let’s all take a break and
get together. There’ll be
plenty of fun things for
families to do, and adults
can meet with their
friends and neighbours
over a glass of beer or
wine.
Family activities are
free, and food and nonalcoholic drinks are also
provided at no cost. The
Fling is on Friday starting
at 3:30 pm, at the Col JJ
Parr Sports Centre.
***
In my as-yet brief (but
distinguished) tenure in
Cold Lake, I’ve never seen
as many recipients at
an Honours and Awards
ceremony as there were
last Wednesday. The many
CDs, CD1s and CD2s
reflect that members
of the Canadian Armed
Forces are committing
to long-term military
careers, which is an
excellent indicator of their
dedication to service.
And of course the
specific
achievements
celebrated
at
the
ceremony
speak
well for the initiative
and
professionalism
of
the
recipients.
Congratulations to all.
Pictures on pages 7, 8
and 9.

It’s Veterans Week
this week, leading up to
Remembrance Day next
Tuesday. Please wear a
poppy – it’s a modest
gesture that carries a
world of meaning.
(And
with
Remembrance
Day
on Tuesday, our usual
publication day, the next
issue of The Courier will
be coming out to you on
Monday, November 10.)

Five Pilots Graduate from Fighter Pilot Course 54
The Courier
Five
newly-minted
CF-18 pilots graduated
from their fighter training
course last week.
Capt Dion Marson,
Capt Stefan Porteous,
Capt Clay Richards, Capt
Chris Swartz and Capt
Duncan Telfer completed
Fighter Pilot Course
(FPC) 54 and were
adopted into their new
operational squadrons.
Capt Marson, Capt
Porteous
and
Capt
Swartz will report to 425
“Alouette” Squadron in
Bagotville, while Capt
Richards and Capt Telfer
are the newest members
of 409 “Nighthawks”
Squadron at 4 Wing Cold
Lake.
410 Squadron runs
two FPCs in a typical year,
training approximately
20-22
fighter
pilots.
Each course comprises
seven intense months
of academics, simulator
flights
and
flying
missions. Graduates are
taken from 419 Tactical
Fighter
(Training)
Squadron, also known as
NATO Flying Training
in Canada Phase IV, and
provided with the tools to
develop a solid foundation
in both air-to-air and air-
to-ground combat.
Areas covered in
depth
include
basic
and advanced aircraft
handling,
instrument
flight, formation flying,
night flying, all-weather
interception,
air-toair
refuelling,
Basic
Fighter
Manoeuvres
("dogfighting” skills) and
air combat. The latter half
of each FPC comprises
academic air-to-ground
weapons delivery and
Jim Belliveau
Capt Marson, Capt Porteous, Capt Telfer, Capt Swartz and Capt Richards are the graduates of FPC 54,
410 Squadron’s latest Fighter Pilot Course.
Close Air Support (CAS),
as well as advanced Air
Interdiction tactics.
CAS
training
is
usually completed during
squadron deployments to
the southwestern United
States in late spring and
early fall to take advantage
of the better weather and
the number of bombing
ranges available.
MGen Dave Wheeler,
Commander 1 Canadian
Air Division, was on
hand to congratulate
the graduates. A former
410 Squadron Instructor
Pilot and Commanding
Officer himself, he told
the pilots that although
their course is over, their
learning never stops.
B e t w e e n
deployments, he said,
“training is what you’ll be
doing.” MGen Wheeler
spoke at the graduation
mess dinner, where he said
that current deployments
underscore the value of
ongoing training.
“I’ll be calling on
you to go where the
Government of Canada
tells us we’re needed,” he
said.

Welcome Movember!
With fall well underway
and winter just around the
corner, we continue our
trend of dry conditions
and
fluctuating
temperatures, with an
added touch of frosty,
chilly mornings.
In the month of
October we saw slightly
warmer
daytime
temperatures reaching
into the mid-teens, with
overnights
hovering
around the freezing
mark to as low as minus
5 degrees. Typically Cold
Lakers’ spooky Halloween
month
consists
of
temperatures averaging
mid-teens which is well
below the record of 27.4
degrees set on October
6, 1980. With only 1.6
millimetres of rain and
only trace amounts of
snow as of the 19th of
the month, this October
has been extremely dry
in comparison to the last
few years for both snow
and rain.
Will
these
dry
conditions
and
temperatures
continue
into
the
month
of
remembering?
Potential exists for the
temperatures to stay in
the plus degrees into
the mid minus’s, with a
record of 18.9 degrees set
on November 3, 1975 and
a record low of minus 36.7
for the 28th of November
1955. Brrr that was one
cold day!
Snow is now the
predominant form of
precipitation with an
average of 19 centimetres
and this time the white
fluffy stuff will be here to
stay showing us the start
of winter. Throughout
the month it is still
possible to see some rain
and freezing rain as the
seasonal transition period
commences, with record
of 5 millimetres falling in
1988.
As we head into
November will Mother
Nature continue to be on
our side or will she bring
in winter and those harsh
Cold Lake temperatures
that we are accustomed
to?
With Remembrance
Day approaching, please
support the veterans
and troops by wearing
a poppy and join us in
remembering.
Influenza visits Alberta every year. The good news?

Support for Families of Deployed Members
The Courier
The 2013 Canadian Forces Ombudsman’s report noted that there are more services than ever available for military members and their families, but that they have
not been effectively communicated.
Families of deployed members will want to be aware of what help is available to them. The various agencies at 4 Wing offer programs including social and recreational
activities and a variety of support services.
The list of services on this page is by no means comprehensive. If there is something you need that isn’t listed here, contact any of these agencies for more
information.
MFRCS
MFRCS’s Separation and Reunion program offers families and friends tools and
resources for all stages of deployment.
Families who are separated for three weeks or more due to duty, deployment, courses,
attached postings, or any other work related activity are entitled to Family Separation

What is An
Addiction-Free Lifestyle?
Derek Coe,
Health Promotion
Director
from
“Strengthening
the Forces” at
http://www.forces.
gc.ca/wastedtime
According to the
Canadian Forces Health
and
Physical
Fitness
Strategy an addictionfree lifestyle is one “that
does not compromise
health and performance
with behaviours such as
alcohol abuse, illicit drug
use, problem gambling
and tobacco use.”
This strategy also
says that developing an
addiction-free
lifestyle
means, first, choosing
a lifestyle that is about
moderation or that strives
to stay within reasonable
limits – not excessive or
extreme. It also suggests
that “developing effective
coping skills” will go a
long way in reducing
the likelihood that you
will become involved in
these potentially harmful
behaviours.
What does this mean?
How do you know what
is reasonable when we
talk about alcohol? As
we approach this year’s
Addictions
Awareness
Campaign
“Wasted
Time? It’s Your Choice,”
I want to give everyone
a sense of how you can
consume your favourite
alcoholic beverage while
maintaining a safe and
addiction-free lifestyle.
Here
are
some
guidelines
and
suggestions that have been
developed by researchers
and practitioners in this
field. They are meant to
help you make decisions
about the lifestyle you
choose.
An
Addiction-Free
Lifestyle is one that
limits alcohol intake.
Canada's
Low
Risk
Drinking
Guidelines
are
suggestions
to
assist
healthy
adults
to
make
informed
decisions about their
alcohol
consumption.
They describe drinking
practices that minimize
alcohol-related
risks.
They suggest the following
guide for maximum daily
and weekly drinking
limits because research
indicates that staying
within these guidelines
is a good way to remain
healthy.
# What the number
means
0-2No more than 2
standard drinks a day for
women
0-3No more than 3
standard drinks a day for
men
10 Women - up to 10
standard drinks a week
15 Men - up to 15
standard drinks a week
Maintaining
a
healthy lifestyle while
consuming alcohol also
means making other
smart choices, such as
choosing not to drink and
drive. Accidents claim
many lives, including
those of children, as a
result of driving under
the influence of alcohol.
We can prevent these
accidents by making
sound
decisions.
If
you decide to have a
few drinks, set up a
designated driver or call
one a cab. Although you
may be inconvenienced
by paying someone, or
waiting on someone else,
at least you will sleep
soundly knowing that
you are not the cause of
an unfortunate accident
involving alcohol.
For more information
on this and other topics,
or to set up discussions
and/or
interactive
demonstrations
on
the effects of alcohol
consumption at various
Blood Alcohol Content
levels, please contact your
local Health Promotion
Director at 780-840-8000

What species of birds flock together nicely
in an aviary?
Randomly mixing birds in an aviary is like inviting all of your
friends over and expecting them to get along. It probably won’t be
a peaceful night in your aviary or your living room. Birds have different
behaviours, feeding requirements and environmental needs. Thought
must be given before establishing a community aviary as some birds
are aggressive by nature and generally will never accept any species
as a suitable aviary mate. Other birds are docile and generally willing
to share their cage with almost any kind of bird. A few species that
have been successfully housed together include different varieties and
combinations of budgies, cockatiels, doves, finches, quails and waxbills.
To establish a successful mixed aviary, research the behaviours and
personalities of the birds you plan to house together and talk with our
Petland pet counsellors and other seasoned bird keepers.

HOME INSPECTION
Our water heater that’s used to heat the concrete
slab floor in our basement is louder than normal.
Any idea what’s causing this?
A
Many on demand type water heaters use outside air for
combustion. There’s a fan inside the water heater that
may have debris lodged against the fan blades. Insects,
grass, etc can be sucked in with the combustion air creating
an out of balance fan unit - vibration. Seeking the warmth of
the vent, moths have been known to fly into the vent system
of water heaters. The carcasses of a dozen or so moths in
the fan can make the heater sound like the space shuttle
on lift off. Poor gas pressure may affect some models and
cause a vibration. Contact a qualified service technician as
soon possible to determine the cause.

HOW DO I PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT
WHILE USING MY COMPUTER?
Phishing scams are some of the most devious forms of identity theft.
Usually presented in the form of spam or pop-ups, they are difficult to
detect and put your credit and identity at risk.
Protect yourself using the following tips:
1.
Guard against spam. Don’t open emails from unrecognized senders.
2.
Only give personal information via phone or secure web sites and
don’t divulge personal information unless you initiate the call.
3.
Don’t click on links, download files or open attachments in emails
from unknown senders.
4.
Never email personal or financial information, even if you are close
with the recipient.
5.
Beware of links in emails that ask for personal information. Phishing
web sites often copy a legitimate web site, making it appear authentic.
Don’t give out personal information over the Internet. If you believe you have
been a victim, contact your local RCMP and have your computer checked at
Lakeside Computers.

Nomad Aircraft Recovery Underway
RCAF Public Affairs
Lake Muskoka, near
Gravenhurst, Ontario, is
yielding up a 70-year-old
secret.
On
October
21
Canadian
Armed
Forces personnel began
bringing the RCAF’s
Northrop Nomad aircraft
#3521 to the surface. The
aircraft crashed in the
lake on December 13,
1940.
As pieces of the
aircraft were revealed
to the light of day, those
working at the crash site
paused for two minutes of
silence in remembrance
of Lt Peter Campbell of
the Royal Air Force and
Leading
Aircraftsman
Theodore (Ted) Bates of
the RCAF, who died in
the crash.
The Royal Canadian
Navy’s Fleet Diving Unit
(Atlantic), located in
Halifax, recovered the
remains of the fallen
airmen in October 2012.
They were interred a year
later with full military
honours.
The RCAF is leading
the recovery operation,
which began on October
25 and is expected to last
approximately 10 days.
The RCAF has partnered
with the Royal Canadian
Navy, the Directorate of
History and Heritage
at the Department of
National Defence, the
Ontario Provincial Police
Bracebridge Detachment,
the National Air Force
Museum of Canada and
the
Canadian
Coast
Guard. Notable support
also came from the
towns of Gravenhurst
and Bracebridge, and the
Lost Airmen of Muskoka
Project.
The
effort
to
recover Nomad #3521 is
supported by a recovery
and salvage team from
the RCAF’s Aerospace
and Telecommunications
Engineering
Support
Squadron
based
at
8 Wing Trenton, with
critical diving support
from the Fleet Diving

Royal Canadian Legion
Launches 2014
Poppy Campaign
The Courier
The annual Legion
Poppy Campaign started
across Canada last Friday
as
Legion
members
headed out to offer
poppies to Canadians.
This year the Legion
hopes that more than
18 million poppies will
be proudly worn by
Canadians between now
and November 11.
“Every
year,
for
two weeks, thousands
of
Legion
members
volunteer their time to
offer poppies and raise
millions that will be
provided to Veterans
and their families in
need,” says Tom Eagles,
Dominion President of
The Royal Canadian
Legion.
“While I am proud
to be a Legion member,
I am also particularly
proud to see Canadians
help
us
remember
Canada’s Veterans’ both
past and present who, at
the call of their country,
left all that was dear
to them, faced danger
and, much too often,
passed out of sight of all
Canadians through their
self-sacrifice giving up
their lives so that others
may live in freedom,”
adds Eagles.
Governor
General
David Johnston, speaking
at the launch of the
national
campaign,
agreed. “Each poppy
represents a man or
woman in uniform,” he
said. “Each mourns the
loss of a soldier. Each
celebrates and honours
what our veterans have
done for our country,
and what the Canadian
Armed Forces continue to
do, at home and around
the world.”
The Legion’s Cold
Lake Branch 211 is
coordinating the local
poppy campaign. Funds
raised by the branch are
used to help veterans in
the Cold Lake area.
The
money
is
supplemented by the
many hours of volunteer
work Legion members
offer in service to
veterans. “Our members
help vets out with their
Veterans Affairs Canada
paperwork,” said Branch
211
president
Todd
Rorke. “If a veteran needs
help repairing a deck or
shoveling snow, we’ll call
a few people and go help
out.”
The
Legion
has
placed
poppy
trays
in most public areas
and workplaces. Any
donation, large or small,
contributes to the cause
and provides important
support
to
Canada’s
veterans.

more
information on Branch
211 and its activities, call
780-639-3579.

Get Your Flu Shot
Alberta Health
Services
“Influenza
arrives
every year. The good news
Since October 20,
Albertans
have
the
opportunity
to
get
protected – and not
infected
–
through
Alberta’s annual influenza
immunization program.
Alberta’s
program
offers
influenza
immunization, free of
charge, to all Albertans
six months of age and
older
via
injectable
(flu shot) and nasal
spray (FluMist) vaccine
available at hundreds
of
Alberta
Health
Services (AHS) public
influenza immunization
clinics, pharmacists and
physician offices around
the province.
Military personnel
can take advantage of
influenza clinics offered
through 22 CF Health
Services Centre 8:00 to
9:30 weekday mornings
until November 24.
Influenza has not yet
arrived in Alberta but
it is imminent. Because
it takes about two weeks
after immunization to be
fully protected, AHS is
encouraging all Albertans
to get it before they need
it.

Health Nurse Karen Palman at 22 Health Services Centre.
is, influenza vaccines
get here first,” says
Dr. Kathryn Koliaska,
Medical Officer of Health
for the North Zone.
“This year, we strongly
Cpl I Thompson
encourage
Albertans
to take advantage and
get immunized before
influenza arrives.”
Immunization
is
the single most effective
means of protection
against the strains of
influenza virus expected
to circulate this season.
Because those strains
change from season to
season, Albertans are
reminded they cannot
rely on having been
immunized in previous
years.
“It’s pretty simple:
to be protected this
season, you need to be
immunized this season.
Without immunization,
you are at risk,” says Dr.
Koliaska.
That risk is not to
be
underestimated.
Last season, more that
1,200 Albertans were
hospitalized – and 30
died – due to influenza.
Thousands more suffered
from the illness and put
those around them at risk
of contracting influenza
as well.

Self-esteem
Padre Marian
Korzeniowski
The other day while
reading an article I ran
across this phrase: “each
person must ultimately
accept responsibility for
self-esteem.” And the
statement is true. Selfesteem is not based on
whether, or how much,
others esteem us.
St.
Bernard
of
Clairvaux often reminded
his monks that the love
of God begins and ends
with the love of oneself.
When love for oneself is
not present, it becomes
difficult to pursue or
maintain a relationship
with God.
No one can give or
take self-esteem from
another. As its name
implies, it is a quality
reserved to the self. The
control of self-esteem
rests within each one of
us and is not determined
by circumstances or by
other people. Therefore,
