Swimmers leave the starting blocks to begin the Prairie region swim development camp.
JeFF gaye
Sixteen
athletes
participated in the Prairie
Region swim development
camp at 4 Wing last week.
Twelve swimmers from
Cold
Lake,
three
from
Edmonton and one from
Suffield took part in pool
sessions, dry-land training and
technical lectures.
“The camp is about
learning how to compete in
the sport of swimming,” said
Danielle Allard, the camp’s
technical organizer. “It’s not
so much about how to swim as
it is about how to compete
better.”

The Canadian Armed
Forces’ chief official for
swimming,
Sgt
Michelle
Neilson, taught participants
about the rules at official
swim meets. CAF competitions
conform to Masters Swim
Canada rules.
Capt Riaz Ingar of the 22
CF Health Services Centre’s
physiotherapy
department
gave a session on injury
prevention, and Derek Coe
of 4 Wing’s Health Promotion
department
discussed
nutrition as part of swim meet
strategy.
Dry-land training focused
on mobility and stability issues
for swimmers. There were also

Participants
swam
in
official time trials at the end
of the camp, an opportunity
for them to qualify for the
CAF national competition
in Markham, Ontario this
April. Swimmers can submit
qualifying times from official
military or civilian meets to
earn a spot on the 16-member
Prairie Region team.
Lt Mat Strong of Wing HQ,
one of the swim coaches, said
six individuals qualified for
nationals. “It was a great camp,”
he said.
“Everybody
enjoyed
it.
Thanks to the organizers from
PSP, people came away with
more skill and knowledge than
they arrived with.”
“4 Wing athletes benefit
from the JJ Parr facility
and our PSP staff, and we want
to thank the participants who
came from out of town for
letting us showcase what we
have in Cold Lake,” Lt Strong
said.
Five of the six qualifying
swimmers are from Cold Lake:
Capt Sarah Graves, Capt Dave
Tucker, Lt Catie Keyser, Cpl
Adam Dore and Avr Chris
Holden. The sixth, Capt
Tracy Allie, is from 3 CDSG in
Suffield.

Does anyone have an
easy time finding shoes
that fit? I have wide feet,
and when buying new
shoes I was never able to
say “they fit.” The best I
could manage was “they’ll
do.”
Sometimes
they
pinched, sometimes they
squeezed.
Sometimes
I had to get them a size
too long just to get them
wide enough.
The first footwear I
ever got that truly fit was
my old CF black ankle
boots. I might have been
the only person whose
feet were comfortable
in those. But just
before I retired, they
changed the sizing and
introduced steel toes.
Hello safety, goodbye
comfort.
Civilian shoes were
simply
impossible.
There’s such a limited
market for the F-width,
it’s not worth most
manufacturers’ time to
make and distribute such
freakish footwear.
About 15 years ago,
though, I bought a pair
of plain brown shoes that
fit perfectly. I wore them
every single day for five
years, until they finally
gave up the ghost. Since
I hate shoe-shopping,
I cleverly ordered two
more pairs of the same
shoes online. I haven’t
set foot in a shoe store
since. (Apologies to
our excellent local shoe
merchants.)
I’ve
worn
these
babies in sun and
rain, snow and slush.
I worked in a grocery
store, spending hours
on my feet and having
all manner of slop spilled
on them. They stood the
test admirably. One pair
has been retired, the
other is hanging in.
Nothing lasts forever.
My plain brown shoes still
shine up pretty good –
there is something about
the patina of old leather.
But there’s holes in the
soles and places where
the laces are clinging for
dear life. When they’re
dusty
and
scuffed,
they are genuinely and
profoundly ugly.
I’ve found the same
model online, for twice
as much as they used
to cost. But it’s worth it
– not just for the shoes,
but for five more years of
shoe-store freedom.

Technicians
deployed
with Air Task Force-Iraq
(ATF-I) are responsible
for
regular
service
on the RCAF’s CF-18
Hornets, and specialize
in
maintaining
the
airframe, weapon systems,
or engines.
“I’m
performing
a B-Check, which is
the short version for
Before-Flight
Check.
Essentially, I prepare this
Hornet for its mission,
making sure that it is in
perfect condition before
the starting process,”
explains the technician
as he takes a quick
look
inside
the
cockpit. “Among other
verifications, I check
the fuel, liquid oxygen
and oil levels, landing
gear, flight controls, and
the engines. The pilot
will also go through
additional checks before
a flight.”
“I’m in charge of
fixing the engines and
all the associated systems,
and I love it,” he said.
“Some of my work related
challenges in Kuwait
include sandstorms and
extreme heat.”
“In short, I must
protect
the
engines
from the sand while
working
in
extreme
temperatures. At the end
of the day, we do what
we can to support the
operation.”
Technicians perform
a specific synchronized
routine for departures
and arrivals. Among
other tasks, they are
responsible for starting,
marshalling,
and
refuelling the aircraft.
“We are taking good
care of our aircraft
but most importantly,
we watch out for our
peers. As an example,
we are surrounded by
ammunition every day,
which requires extra
precautions and safety
measures,
especially
when the jets are armed,”
he said. “As members of
the Fighter Detachment,
we
follow
thorough
procedures when we
conduct our inspections
and maintenance. This
common commitment to
detail makes us a more
cohesive team.”
The technician then
points towards a few
coalition aircraft parked
further down the flight
line; he explains that
the coalition partnership
extends to the technicians
on the ground.
“I sometimes have
the chance to interact
with
other
coalition
aircraft
technicians,”
he says as he finishes
his checks by taking a
close look inside both
engines. “We do what
we can to assist our
counterparts
when
possible. We have a lot in
common and a natural
respect establishes itself
among all of us.”

The Bell “Let’s Talk” beneficial
campaign is working First, there is a perceived is a reflection of our lack
of understanding and
overall discomfort with
the subject of mental
illness.
A significant barrier
to addressing mental
health issues is that the
subject of mental health
may seem too personal
and none of anyone’s
business. Our mental
well-being typically is
personal and private. We
have developed methods
and habits (some more
beneficial than others)
to manage our stress
and remain resilient.
However, some people
develop emotional and
physical
symptoms
that don’t resolve and
consume their attention,
their energy, and their
lives. These symptoms
can be present for weeks,
months, or years – often
just below the surface
of interactions. It often
takes collective effort and
insight to recognize, and
admit, when someone is
emotionally unwell and
needs help.
Another
potential
barrier to dealing with
the mental health issues
is access to care. In
recent years, Canadian
Forces Health Services
has implemented change
to address this concern.
There is a team of mental
health
professionals
available at 4 Wing.
When people are
able to receive treatment
close to home, maintain
employment, and pursue
supportive relationships,
the prognosis for recovery
is greatly improved. With
effective
and
timely
services
available
to
members, treatment can
be minimally disruptive
in people’s lives.
We continue to learn
a great deal about mental
illness and its underlying
mechanisms. As a result,
there
are
beneficial
and effective treatment
options,
along
with
professional
guidance,
to promote a road to
returning people to their
resilient selves. This
gives us more reason to
be optimistic and have
hope for the future. Let’s
continue to talk.
Problèmes émotionnels –
Obstacles à la gestion des maladies mentales
DeB livergooD /
maJ roSS Semeniuk
Les préjugés peuvent
être l’un des obstacles
les plus difficiles à
surmonter
pour
quelqu’un qui souffre
de maladie mentale.
Un Canadien sur cinq
développera une maladie
mentale au cours de
sa vie. Bon nombre
d’entre nous connaissent
un membre de la famille,
un ami, un voisin ou un
collègue qui en a souffert.
Et pourtant, nous avons
peut être été les derniers
à l’apprendre à cause de
la honte et de l’embarras
suscités
par
une
révélation
tellement
personnelle.
La campagne de Bell
intitulé « Cause pour la
cause » veut changer les
choses. Le 27 janvier,
Bell Canada parraine
la journée « Cause
pour la cause » — une
occasion d’accroître la
sensibilisation du public à
la maladie mentale et de
susciter des conversations
publiques
sur
cette
question.
On
estime
que
seulement un tiers de tous
les Canadiens qui seront
atteints d’une maladie
mentale recevront un
traitement. Nous serions
incrédules si le tiers des
Canadiens ayant subi une
fracture étaient traités.
Est ce que les problèmes
émotionnels sont moins
graves?
De
multiples
obstacles
empêchent
les gens de recevoir
un
traitement.
Premièrement, le fait de
reconnaître
l’existence
d’un problème de santé
mentale et de demander
de l’aide est associé à la
perception d’un préjugé
personnel et culturel.
Un grand nombre des
termes
utilisés
pour
décrire quelqu’un qui
souffre d’une maladie
mentale sont négatifs,
critiques, et reflètent la
croyance selon laquelle
ils ont un défaut. Vous
avez peut être entendu
l’expression « maison de
fous » ou « asile » pour
désigner les endroits où
l’on donne des services de
santé mentale. Il vous est
peut être déjà arrivé de
vouloir dire à un collègue
qui ne semblait pas
aller bien et qui était en
détresse de « se faire une
raison » ou de « passer
à autre chose ». Cela
reflète notre manque de
compréhension et notre
inconfort général face à
la maladie mentale.
Un
obstacle
important au règlement
des problèmes de santé
mentale est que ce sujet
semble trop personnel et
que personne ne veut s’en
mêler.
Habituellement,
notre bien être mental
est d’ordre personnel et
privé. Nous avons adopté
des méthodes et des
habitudes (certaines plus
bénéfiques que d’autres)
pour gérer notre stress
et
conserver
notre
résilience.
Cependant,
certaines
personnes
développent
des
symptômes émotionnels
et physiques qui ne se
règlent pas et qui
consomment toute leur
attention, leur énergie
et qui prennent toute
la place dans leur vie.
Ces symptômes peuvent
durer des semaines, des
mois ou des années – et
ils sont souvent juste
sous la surface pendant
les interactions. Il faut
souvent déployer des
efforts collectifs et faire
preuve de lucidité pour
reconnaître et admettre
que quelqu’un a des
problèmes émotionnels
et a besoin d’aide.
Un autre obstacle
éventuel est l’accès aux
soins. Au cours des
dernières années, les
Services de santé des
Forces canadiennes ont

Family Day 2016 - Call for Volunteers!
Get ready for some roaring good fun at the 2016
Family Day celebration! Family Day is taking place
February 15, 2016 and volunteers are necessary
to make this event a success. We are looking for
volunteers to assist with a variety of roles indoors
and outdoors, setup and teardown for the events.
This year’s event promises to entertain and delight
everyone with an Aviation theme with indoor and
outdoor fun activities hosted at the Col JJ Parr
Sports Centre. Some old favorites will include
dogsled rides, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, cross
country skiing, crafts, games and of course the
inflatable boot camp and many more aviation
themed games inside. All this will be kicked off with
the Much Music Dance for the youth on February
14, 2016 at Club 41.
Volunteering can give you the opportunity to get
to know your community better, have a positive
impact, and make some new friends. Perhaps
the best reason to volunteer however is because
it’s fun! Individuals who would like to assist with
the Family Day activities as a volunteer are asked
to contact Yolanda Janssen at 780-594-6006 or
yolanda.janssen@forces.gc.ca.

It’s not uncommon Since
2010,
this
for people to go without event has helped to
increase mental health
research and access to
mental
health-related
services, and to break
down barriers associated
with
mental
health
problems.
So in celebration of
Bell Let’s Talk Day 2016,
I invite you to join the
conversation and create
an environment where
people feel safe talking
about mental health and
seeking mental health
services.
This can be different
for everyone. We first
need to be aware of
our own attitudes and
behaviours.
Instead
of labelling someone
with a mental health
problem, we need to
treat them as we would
treat anyone else. We
want to support people
by treating them with
dignity
and
respect,
supporting their choices
and encouraging their
efforts to get help and
recover. We can also
eliminate the gossip that
happens when someone
seeks help, and stop any
negative conversations we
hear going on.
In addition, you
can increase your own
mental fitness. Mental
fitness can be viewed
as a state of well-being
in which an individual
is psychologically and
emotionally
resilient.
Someone who has a
high level of mental
fitness is able to bounce
back after struggling
through difficult and
stressful times. They are
able to learn from those
situations, grow, move
forward and develop.
Mental fitness is
something
everyone
can develop. There are
many resources and
tools to guide you along
your path to a healthier
mind.
Now’s the time to
do your part and help
create an environment
where mental fitness
is a high priority, and
where everyone feels
comfortable seeking the
professional
assistance
they need.
If you would like
more information on
mental health or the
resources
available
to you, don’t hesitate
to contact the Health
Promotion Office at
780-840-8000 extension

Forgiveness
FatHer marian
korZenioWSki
Webster’s Dictionary
defines forgiveness as
“a process of ceasing to
feel resentment against
someone or to pardon
someone.”
As a priest I believe
the choice to let go
of resentment is to
choose life. I have seen
many times in others
unable
to
forgive
that their anger and
resentment were killing
their lives. The choice
to forgive brings with
it a feeling of relief, a
freedom of spirit and
renewed life.
It is often the one
who
forgives
rather
than the person who is
forgiven who receives
the
greater
benefit.
The person offering
forgiveness most strongly
experiences
a
sense
of relief. Forgiveness
has a twofold therapeutic
effect. On one hand, it
