If

the self-indulgence, I’d
like to turn this week’s
column over to my

Victor Gaye. Herbert
wrote the following in a
letter to Cassie Henfrey
of Bulyea, Saskatchewan
in 1917 while he was at
Camp Valcartier waiting
to ship out overseas.
“…There are times
Cassie dear that I wish we
were engaged, and there
is only one thing that
kept me from mentioning
it and that’s this, little
girl. I think so much of
you, and have a good
idea of your disposition,
and I well know the risks
I am running dear, and
you are only a young
Lady and I cannot bear
to think of spoiling your
life or of hurting your
feelings. For God only
knows, Cassie, I might

would be a hard thing
for both of us, especially
for you, to be tied with
an engagement and
having to break it. I have
laid for hours at night,
more so in Regina, and
I always thought that if I
was seriously hurt that it
would be a Godsend to
know that I was the only
one hurt, girl.
“Although

I know that there is
absolutely no difference
regarding myself, I feel
myself even more than
engaged and I know that
it is my duty to keep and
govern myself the same
and in the same manner
as if we were married, and
yet I think I am only fair
in waiting until I return
before really becoming
engaged and I do hope
that you will not think
that I am not sincere. I
get restless when I think
of the months, I hope not

try to comfort myself by
thinking that it will be
soon that we will meet
again and you will be

to be said for the

Keeping Up With the Cadets

664 Royal Canadian
Air Cadet Squadron
(RCACS) Cold Lake had a
lesson in military history
and etiquette January 27
as they took part in their
annual cadet mess dinner
at the 4 Wing Officers’
Mess. The guest of
honour was 409 Tactical
Fighter Squadron’s Acting
Commanding
Officer
Maj Yanick Gregoire,
who recounted his cadet
days and his years in
the military. The cadets
also learned about 409’s
history, including Battle
Honours.
F/Sgt
Natalie
Ramsay was the mess
dinner’s PMC, assisted
by Vice PMC Air Cadet
Caleb Abbott. The night
was fun and full of
camaraderie as many
cadets, both old and new,
“volunteered” to sing and
dance with Maj Gregoire

guarantee our enemies
will stop attacking us, but
it can prevent us from
living in fear. In love, it
is possible to transform

Love Your Enemy
Padre Henry Hoy
“Hate” is such a strong
word. It is easy to hate
an inanimate object or
an animal, as in “I hate
vegetables” or “I hate
snakes!” We may even
have a strong dislike for
certain people.
Recent
terrorist
attacks can stir up
feelings of hatred for
some of us, feelings
beyond the strong dislike.
Our terrorist enemies
wish to provoke us and
cause confusion. Hate
has corrupted them and
they wish to corrupt us.
Let us not give into
that temptation. Let us
not hate nor fear. Hate
and fear often cloud
judgment
and
lead
people to make rash
decisions.
We must LOVE our
enemies, even if our when our enemies wish to

Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
Love letters of long ago inspire a walk on the wild side. Have
fun, Capricorn. An amazing opportunity is yours for the taking.
Don’t miss out.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Please, Aquarius. You’ve stalled long enough. Make your
request known. You will not be denied. A friend’s brave journey

Applause all around. Your attention to detail makes all the
difference this week, and the accolades will all be yours, Pisces.
A website is launched.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
Love is in the air. Seize every opportunity that comes your way,
Aries. Small changes in budgeting make a big difference in your
bottom line.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Romance reaches new heights this week with a getaway for
two. Ooh-la-la, Taurus. Financial errors are resolved quickly
thanks to new technology. A work goal is set.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
No news is good news, Gemini. Leave it be. A tickle of the
ivories sets the stage for a dazzling weekend. Make sure you
take plenty of pictures.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22

necessary this time. Do what you must to get the task done,

Organization is the theme of this week, Virgo. You must make
sure everything is in order before you proceed. A project wraps
up quickly at home.

You’re lucky in love this week, Libra, as you share many magical
moments with that special someone. One man’s trash is
another’s treasure.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Sometimes you have to pick your battles, Scorpio. Instead of
going after every cause, why not fight for those that mean the
most to you.
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21

celebration. Finances improve with some thinking outside of the
box. Good work, Sagittarius.

February is Heart Health Month! Part 2
Derek Coe,
Health Promotion
Manager
Last week I started
you down the path to
optimal heart health by
introducing you to four
of the seven steps to a
healthier life.
Steps 1 through 4
were: avoid smoking and
tobacco products; be
physically active; eat a
heart healthy diet; and
keep a healthy weight. For
tips on achieving these,
refer to last week’s article
or stop by the Health
Promotion office.
This week I’ll pick
up where I left off and
introduce you to steps 5
through 7:
5. Keep your blood
pressure healthy. There
are many ways to keep
your blood pressure
healthy. Exercise and
healthy nutrition are great
ways to accomplish this,
but they aren’t the only
ways. Too much stress can
cause your blood pressure
to gradually rise to the
point where your heart
is at risk. Give yourself
permission to slow down
a little and practice
some excellent stress
management techniques.
One of my favourites is
deep breathing. To do
this, simply take a deep
breath in while counting
to five, and exhale while
counting to five. This
can
take
anywhere
from ten seconds to five
minutes. Make sure that
your stomach is rising
and falling and not your
chest.
6. Keep your total
cholesterol
healthy.
Take a look at how much
fat you are consuming
on a daily basis. Don’t
believe everything you
see in the media telling
you to avoid fat. All fat
is not bad, and in fact,
you need to consume
fat every day – some
fat is actually healthy
for you! However, limit
how much saturated fat
you consume, and avoid
trans-saturated fat as
much as possible. You
want to make sure you’re
consuming unsaturated
fats the most. Stop by the
Health Promotion office
and we can show you
how to identify if a food
product has too much fat. factor into this.
