“The hardest part, I would

preserve their ability to come good camp set up.”
MCpl McArthur said the
students are given specific
tasks to complete. They learn to
take care of priorities including
administering first aid, starting
a fire and building a shelter. In
addition, they learn bushcraft
skills like carving a spoon and
building a deadfall trap for
small game.
Students also learn how
to build a signal fire. This
involves packing a tripod
structure with firewood for
heat, and covering it with green
boughs to focus the heat and
generate smoke. The idea is for
intense heat to push the smoke
through the thermal barrier at
the top of the trees so it will be
visible from a search aircraft.
Avr Pomerleau enjoyed
the challenge and felt some
satisfaction on completing his
72-hour solo camp. “It’s a big
accomplishment knowing that
I can stay in the bush. Knowing
I can build a camp, build a
nice fire, even build a signal
fire, is a big accomplishment,”
he said.
“I’m a hunter, so I know
the basics of survival in the
bush, but this experience has
helped me gain confidence to
be able to go out in the bush,
get lost, and spend a few nights
out there. It’s a big confidencebooster.”
And that, MCpl McArthur
says, is the point.
“The crux of it is
confidence,” he said. “This is
a confidence-builder. We don’t
bring them out here to break
them down, we bring them
out here to build them up and
teach them all the things that
they can do to make themselves
get back. “

Confessions of a
Coffee Curmudgeon (in
which your world-weary
reporter plays the rube
while matching wits with a
seventeen-year-old
ubersophisticate).
While in the big city,
I stopped at a popular
coffee shop chain and
ordered a large black
coffee.
“Large – do you
mean venti?” asked the
lad behind the counter.
“Is that the large
one?”
“Yes,” he said. I
smiled patiently, waiting
as he figured it out.
Three… two… he got it.
Then:
“Americano?”
“No, I’m Canadian
but I’m from out of
town.”
“No, Caffe Americano
– it’s coffee with a shot
of espresso in it.”
“Just a large black
coffee, please,” I said
pleasantly. But the
questions kept coming.
“Mild or bold?”
“Surprise me.”
“And what’s your
name?” This time I
hesitated,
wondering
if he was planning to
report me or something.
But he explained it’s
so the barista can call
me when she’s finished
“creating” my cup of
joe.
“My name is Large
Black Coffee,” I replied,
still exuding patience

and good humour. I
paid for my coffee,
then shuffled along and
waited while the other
customers received their
orders in turn.
I’m not defiant by
nature, but I’m a bit
resistant to corporate
pretentiousness.
The
sizes on offer were venti,
Italian for “twenty,”
which somehow means
“large”; grande, Italian
for “large,” which means
“medium”; and tall,
English for “tall,” which
naturally means “small.”
And the guy wanted to
make me say it.
Fun game I guess,
but I didn’t feel like
playing.
The
barista
announced each order
as it was ready. “Ashley,

Peppermint
Mocha!
Carl,
Iced
Caramel
Macchiato!
Rick, Cinnamon Dolce
Frappuccino!” Then she
got to mine.
“Large

I smiled smugly and
thanked her as I picked
it up. It was good coffee,
too.

100 Attend Padres’ Christmas Dinner
Padre
Zibby Jonczyk
The annual padres’
Christmas dinner took
place December 22 at the
MFRC assembly hall.
While many members
of the Wing were able
to spend the holidays
with families across the
country, some stayed in
the area.
Christmas is the
time of the year when
we long to be together
with our families, friends
and those who are dear
to us. However, for
many military families,
due to distance and
the cost of travel, it is
almost impossible to be
with their parents and
relatives who may live as
far away as Nova Scotia or
Newfoundland.
Some of our military
families are also away
from their loved ones due
to deployments.
With many members
on operations it is
important to remember
those who are left
behind, and that is
why the Wing padres
once again organized
their annual Christmas at the Wing Theatre with
the showing of Arthur’s
dinner.
The idea of the Christmas, a movie about
dinner was to get Santa’s son Arthur who

Wing it? Not a good idea this week, Capricorn. People are
counting on you at work to have all of the answers. Do not
disappoint. A memento reappears.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
No news is good news, Aquarius. Go about your business
and rest assured all is well in that neck of the woods. A
home improvement project begins.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Finances are looking up, and you have someone special to
thank, Pisces. A project at work nears completion. Give it
your all, and you will come out on top.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
Aries can be fickle. Take the time to think things through
and make sure you know exactly what you want before you
start any projects this week.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Romance moves front and center, and many special times
are in store. Enjoy, Taurus. Work, and lots of it, is on the

Painstaking efforts to restore a piece begin to pay off.
Celebrate with a little getaway, Gemini. The ship of
opportunity sails at work, and it’s time you got onboard.

Tsk-tsk, Cancer. You know better, so stop making excuses
and get busy. A friend has a meltdown. Be there for them.
They are not making a mountain out of a molehill.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
Listless Leo. You could use a little excitement, so when a
friend offers, don’t say no. Cast aside your reservations,
pack your bags and go!
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
Better late than never, Virgo. A friend finally gets around
to making an apology. Be receptive. This is not the time to
hold a grudge. A mistake is rectified.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
Clearly, Libra, you are not at fault. Don’t take the heat for
something you did not do. An amazing offer comes your
way. Say yes, and you will profit.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Sassy Scorpio. You can be quite the spitfire, and this
week, that will come in handy when things get out of hand
at the office. Jump in and take the lead.

Baby Steps
Derek Coe,
Health Promotion
Manager
Every
New
Year
people start to eat
healthier or exercise
more, as part of a
resolution to lose weight
or improve their health.
Unfortunately,
many
don’t stick with it.
If you’re going from
doing
absolutely
no
exercise to exercising
six days a week, or from
eating virtually no fruits
and vegetables to eating
10 servings a day, it’s a
challenging and time
consuming
resolution.
After all, those are big
changes.
But if you’re looking
for 2016 to be the year
where you finally stick
to those changes, you
can make the transition
feel easy by taking baby
steps. You can’t learn
to run before you walk.
Whenever we make a
change, we need to start
small and simple. But
if you do it this way and
accept that it will take
time, you’ll be surprised
how easy it can be
to reach your goals. Here
are a few quick tips on
how to take “baby steps”
to get where you want to
be.
Let’s
start
with
nutrition. If you are not
eating enough fruits or
vegetables, don’t jump
into the grocery store
and fill your cart with
them. Continue eating
as you normally would,
with one small change
– for the first week,
increase your vegetable
and fruit intake by one
serving every other day.
The
following
week,
add that extra fruit or
vegetable every day. If
you make small changes
every week, it might
take you 15 weeks to get
all
the
fruits
and
vegetables
that
are
recommended,
but
these small changes are
a lot more manageable.
After a while, you’ll find
yourself eating better
out of habit rather than
forcing yourself. The
same can be said for
reducing the “unhealthy”
food you eat. Don’t
stop altogether, do so
Health Promotion
Derek Coe &
Tammy Buchanan
Health Can Be Catching
gradually over a few
weeks.
You should take the
same approach with
physical fitness. If you
are not exercising at
all, start off one day a
week with a session of
15 to 30 minutes of very
light exercise. The next
week add a little time
to that session, or add
a second day, but keep
the intensity light. After
you have taken a few
weeks to reach three
to five of days exercise,
start adding time to your
sessions.
Keep the sessions to
around 30 minutes until
your body gets used to
exercising. This may take
eight weeks or longer.
Once you have become
accustomed to exercising,
start
increasing
the
intensity of some of your
sessions. Continue slowly
increasing
frequency,
duration and intensity
and you’ll find that after
a few months, exercising
isn’t as bad or as painful
as you once thought it
was.
It’s all about slow,
small and simple changes
every week. We might
not like to take this
time, but by doing so
you’ll find the changes a
lot easier and a lot more
sustainable. After all, you
have now made a lifestyle
change as opposed to a
quick fix.
If you have questions,
contact
the
Health
Promotion or Fitness and
Sports Office.
AquaFit is for Everyone
Charyty Chenier
It’s that time of
year again. Resolutions
have been made. Let’s
think about that big one
– getting in shape and
losing a few pounds.
But everyone is doing
it and the gyms are all
full.
Have
you
ever
thought
of
trying
aquafit? It’s for everyone,
every age, every fitness
level and any stage of
swimmer.
We offer workouts
of all intensities. Low
intensity
focuses
on
range
of
motion,
intermediate
is
for
maintaining your fitness
level, and high intensity
is for those looking for
a harder workout that
burns calories and tones
muscles. All include
cardio
training
and
all have a much lower
gravitational
impact
on the body than land
exercises.
Because every class
is different, you should
try it at least twice. Even
if you’re not a swimmer,
you can work out in
the shallow water. The
deeper you work out,
the more your balance,
coordination
and
range of motion will
improve.
Whether your goal is
to slim down, firm up or
just be more active, you
will get a full body and
cardiovascular workout.
So come meet new
people, learn new ways
to exercise and have
fun every Tuesday and
Thursday at the Col JJ
Parr Sports Centre.
