Acting 4 Wing Commander
LCol Joe Mullins welcomed the
Wing’s personnel home. “It’s
terrific to welcome our men
and women back from this
deployment,” he said. “4 Wing
is really proud of them, and I
know Canadians are grateful
for their selfless efforts.”
The relief-in-place began
in mid-April and will continue

Mosquito Derby Ends
in Controversy
The
Courier
is
claiming partial success
after
the
inaugural
running of its annual
Mosquito Derby.
The
bugs
were
running
thorax-andthorax down the home
stretch when Swarming
Sam pulled ahead to win
by two lengths. Midnight
Delight took second
place by a proboscis over
Count Dracula, who was
charging hard along the
inside rail.
The owners of the
speedy steeds took home
a purse of a $15 gift card
to win, $10 to place and
$5 to show, courtesy
of our sports-minded
friends at Panago.
Although the race was
run in strict accordance
with National Mosquito
Racing
Commission
(NMRC) rules, a slipup on the part of the
committee resulted in
controversy. The Courier
failed to collect names
or photos of the owners
of the winning bugs, and
the NMRC launched an
investigation.
“We’re
satisfied
the race was run fairly
and the prizes awarded
appropriately,”
NMRC
president Moe “Buzz”
Skeeter announced. “But
it’s important for the
system to be transparent.
We will be supervising
next year’s event very
closely.”
The
Courier
apologizes for the error.
Meanwhile, thanks and
congratulations to all
who took part – this was
fun, and we’ll have more
contests in future issues.
Thanks also to Panago
for donating the great
prizes.

Picture
yourself
sitting on the port stern
of a 28-foot boat pitching
up and down in two- to
three- metre swells off the
coast of Miami. Aboard
the boat is a simulated
casualty that your partner
is tending to in a hoistcapable stretcher.
Slightly
above
and behind you is a
yellow and red Bell 412
Griffon helicopter. The
helicopter moves in to
retrieve you. You see the
hoist cable descend to
you, you grab the hook
and you wait as the boat
undulates through a set
of swells. The slack in
the hoist cable varies as
the boat breaks through
a larger set of waves.
The boat settles out and
the cable slack tightens.
You attach the hook to
your harness, nod to the
flight engineer in the
helicopter above you, and
like Spiderman you’re
rising from the boat
on your way up to the
helicopter.
438
Combat
Support Squadron from
Bagotville hosted a two
week helicopter-specific
Search and Rescue (SAR)
exercise from Miami Air
Station at Opa Locka
airport in early March.
The purpose of the
exercise was to maintain
the currency of SAR
aircrews that live in the
ice locked regions of
Canada in the winter.
424
Squadron
from Trenton and 417
Squadron from Cold
Lake participated in the
last week of the training.
417 Squadron attended
with one full aircrew plus
one extra pilot, with the
purpose of introducing
the basics of water
hoisting to our newest first
officers. The training for
the remainder of the crew
was also invaluable as
the conditions in Miami
presented
different
challenges from what
we normally see in Cold
Lake.
The sea state – the
height and power of waves
and swells – is an obvious
hurdle. Our aircrew also
found themselves flying
in a very busy area for
traffic and obstructions.
One might ask why we
would subject ourselves to
a training environment
where
banner-towing
aircraft, kiteboards and
low flying aircraft occupy
such a small area, but
these can be normal
conditions during SAR
operations in Canada
during the summer.
Another positive factor
for the SAR Techs was the
water temperature. This
allowed our aircrews to
conduct more sequences
and sorties in a day
than would normally be
conducted in a cold water
environment.
During the exercise
some had the privilege of
operating from the United
States Coast Guard’s
Dolphin MH65C aircraft,
and a few Coast Guard
rescue swimmers had the
opportunity to train with
our Griffon. Learning
how other professionals
in our field deal with
similar situations helps
us keep a fresh focus on
our craft.
Throughout
the
exercise 417 Squadron
flew 23.2 hours and 11
sorties, and SAR Techs
were able to practice
their large-wave rescue
techniques.
We feel honoured
to have been offered the
opportunity to conduct
this training and we look
forward to attending
again in coming years.

SISIP Financial Introduces No-Fee Option
Joyce Sharp, SISIP
SISIP Financial has
announced that clients of
their financial planning
services who choose to
file their own income tax
returns can now opt out
of paying subscription
fees for these services.
This change is effective
January 1, 2015 for new
clients and May 1, 2015
for existing clients.
People are more
knowledgeable of the
many
alternatives
available to help them
complete
their
own
income tax returns. There
are a number of new
and inexpensive choices
which
reinforce
the
decision
to
remove
subscription fees and
no longer provide a free
basic income tax return
per year.
Those who opt out
from paying subscription
fees can now put that
money - $6.00 per
month - towards other
investment options. They
may consider putting
them into the Canadian
Armed Forces Savings
Plans, a simple savings
solution
that
allows
investments for as little as
one dollar per day.
There are many
options
available
for those who wish to
prepare their own tax
returns. Most e-filing
software kits will walk
you through tax credits
step-by-step.
Canex sells UFile tax
software in their stores
and online (CANEX.ca)
for $19.99 and $39.99;
CF One Card holders can
download free software
through H&R Block and
file up to four returns
for free. H&R Block also
extends a 20 per cent
discount on optional tax
protection service when
filing online for free using
their online software.
A lter n at ively,
Canadian
military
members
and
their
spouses can download
H&R Block tax software
for free or receive a 10 per
cent discount on their tax
preparation services at
participating H&R Block
retail locations.
Canada
Revenue
Agency provides a list of
free certified software
packages and web-based
programs for taxpayers,
and iPhone has apps
such as Intuit Turbo Tax
and Snap Tax available
on iTunes. Snap a photo

a few questions and
within minutes, Snap

Watch for Up-Coming Schedule.
Summertime is all about

see reading as play, and discover
that the joyful, boundless and

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.

E-Cigarettes and The Unknown
Tammy Buchanan,
Health Promotion
Specialist
Depending
on
what country you live
in, electronic cigarettes
(e-cigarettes) could be
considered a medicinal
product,
a
tobacco
product, or even a
poison! But regardless
of where you live, there
are no long term studies
that show if “vaping”
with an e-cigarette has
any benefits or harmful
effects on the body.
E-cigarettes
only
became
available
approximately 10 years
ago, so it may be decades
before there is conclusive
evidence as to whether
they cause diseases.
Vaping is the act of
using a battery-operated
electronic
cigarette
to inhale a vaporized
liquid. The liquid is
in a storage chamber
in the e-cigarette, and
is heated to produce
an aerosol which may
contain propylene glycol,
glycerin, nicotine and
different
flavourings.
Some
e-cigarettes
do not have nicotine in
them.
In
Canada,
e-cigarettes must not
contain nicotine. There
are
also
restrictions
on
the
advertising,
distribution, importation
and manufacturing of
e-cigarettes. As with
tobacco,
Canadians
must be of legal age to
purchase
e-cigarettes.
No electronic nicotine
delivery system, that is, an
e-cigarette with nicotine,
has been approved or
authorized for sale by
Health Canada.
The
Canadian
Tobacco,
Alcohol
and
Drug
Survey
showed
that in 2013, cigarette
smoking was at an alltime low of 15 per cent.
That is, only 4.2 million
Canadians smoked daily
or occasionally. The
Youth Smoking Survey
found that four per cent
of youth in grades 6 to
12 were smoking daily or
occasionally.
Due
to
limited
knowledge
of
the
long-term
safety
of
e-cigarettes,
several
concerns come to light.
One concern is that the
flavoured
e-cigarettes
may be enticing to
youth and may be an
introduction to tobacco
products and negative
lifestyle choices. In 2014,
there were more than 450
brands of e-cigarettes
and $3 billion was
spent globally on these
products. That number
is expected to increase by
a factor of 17 in the next
15 years. This increase
in usage may portray
smoking as being more
mainstream,
thereby
encouraging youth to
take up the habit.
But
the
health
hazards are not fully
known. What damage
might be done by
inhaling these chemicals,
and what risks might
there be to bystanders
from
the
exhaled
aerosol?
If you want to quit
smoking, the Canadian
Lung
Association
suggests
you
use
regulated methods such
as counselling, nicotine
patches,
stop-smoking
medications and gum.
For more information on
these items please contact
your local pharmacist.
If you are thinking
of making a healthy
choice,
like
quitting
smoking, please consider
joining our CAF Health
& Wellness Challenge
starting May 1! Call the
Health Promotion Staff at
780-840-8000 ext. 6958
for more information.

Skateboard Park Opening Soon

The

Skateboard Park is the
place to be this summer!
Although skateboarding
has been a favourite
activity
for
youth
since the 1950s, it is
only in the past 20
years that designated
areas have been created
with skateboarders in
mind.
In Cold Lake we
are fortunate to have an
excellent facility for all
those tricks that make
freestyle skateboarding
so
popular.
Opened
in its current location
in 2009, it has become
the “go to spot” for
skateboarders. There are
different sized ramps with
many angles to create

place to build your own
routine with an ollie,
goofyfoot, grind and
kickflip.
The ramps will be
installed over the next
two weeks and then the
doors will open.

Le planchodrome de
la 4e Escadre est l’endroit
rêvé à fréquenter cet été!
Même si la planche à
roulettes est une activité
favorite
des
jeunes
depuis les années 50, ce
n’est que pendant les 20
dernières années que des
installations ont été créées
pour les planchistes.
À
Cold
Lake,
nous avons la chance
d’avoir une excellente
installation
pour
toutes ces figures qui
rendent la planche à
roulettes en style libre si
populaire. Ouverte à son
emplacement actuel en
2009, elle est devenue le
« point de rassemblement
par excellence » des
planchistes. Il y a des
rampes de différentes
tailles avec de nombreux
angles
pour
créer
pratiquement toute figure
désirée.
Elles
seront
installées pendant les deux
prochaines semaines et le
planchodrome
ouvrira
ensuite ses portes.
Les installations ont
été conçues de façon à
fournir aux planchistes
un défi modéré pour les
aider à perfectionner
leurs
habiletés.
Les
planchodromes
comportent toujours des
surfaces dures, lesquelles
stimulent le planchiste
mais
constituent
également un risque
considérable de blessure
s’il tombe. Par conséquent,
il ne faut pas oublier
que les règlements sont
affichés pour assurer la
sécurité de tous. Veuillez
vous assurer que tous les
utilisateurs respectent ces
règlements.
Nous
prions
les
adeptes de la planche
à roulettes et du patin
à roues alignées de
porter des coudières,
des genouillères et des

CFHA Streamlines Customer Service
CFHA
CFHA’s
Customer
Service
Program
is
dedicated to building
and
maintaining
relationships, addressing
concerns and complaints,
and
developing
and
evaluating new services.
Our aim is to ensure
the health, safety and
security of occupants
while protecting the
structural integrity of the
housing units.
Our
Customer
Service Representatives
(CSR) are part of this
program and each CSR
has received training in
processing allocation and
maintenance
services
with a view to increasing
consistency
at
our
Housing Services Centre
in Cold Lake.
The
delivery
of
our service will now
be structured under
an alphabetical system
based on the surname of
the occupant. The cells
and their CSRs are as
follows:
Surname beginning
with:
A to D – Lisa Dwyer
E to La –
Coreena Cole
Le to P –
Bonnie Strang
Q to Z –
Bryana Karsin
For new occupants
this means the moment
they
submit
an
application for an RHU
they will be assigned
to
the
appropriate
CSR, and they will be
served by that same
CSR throughout their
stay with CFHA. For
example, if your surname
is Smith, you will be
assigned to cell Q-Z for
your entire stay in Cold
Lake.
For
current
occupants, your file has
already been assigned
to the CSR responsible
for your letter cell
and when you inquire
about a service, that
CSR will be responding
to you.
All CSRs will answer
the phones and initiate
work
requests.
All
phone verifications for
work performed will be
done by the assigned
representative of your
cell. The aim is to offer
consistent service to our
occupants
throughout
their stay with CFHA.
The changes are effective
immediately.
Our
hours
of
operations are Monday
to
Friday
from
7:30 am - 3:45 pm, except
Thursdays when we open
at 9:00 am.
Our phone numbers
are:
780-594-4325;
780-594-3951;
780-840-8000 local
8869 or CSN 690-8869;
and
780-840-8000 local
8888 or CSN 690-8888.

L’ALFC rationalise le service à la clientèle
ALFC
Le Programme du
service à la clientèle de
l’ALFC a pour mission
d’établir et d’entretenir
des
relations,
de
répondre
aux
préoccupations et aux
plaintes et de créer et
d’évaluer de nouveaux
services. Son objectif
consiste à garantir la
santé et la sécurité
des occupants, tout en
protégeant
l’intégrité
structurale des unités de
logement.
Nos représentantes
du service à la clientèle
(RSC)
font
partie
de
ce
programme.
Chacune d’elles a suivi
une formation sur les
processus de répartition
et
sur
les
services
d’entretien,
l’objectif
étant
d’améliorer
la
cohérence
dans
nos
centres de services de
logement à Cold Lake.
La prestation des
services sera désormais
structurée
selon
un
système
alphabétique
fondé sur le nom de
famille de l’occupant.
Nous avons réparti les
cellules comme suit entre
les RSC :
Nom
de
famille
commençant par les
lettres:
A à D - Lisa Dwyer
E à La Coreena Cole
Le à P Bonnie Strang
QàZBryana Karsin
Pour les nouveaux
occupants,
cela
signifie que, dès qu’ils
présenteront
une
demande d’ULR, ils
seront jumelés à la
RSC appropriée ; ils
continueront
d’être
servis par cette même
personne
tant
qu’ils
vivront dans un logement
administré par l’ALFC.
Par exemple : si votre
nom de famille est
Dubois,
vous
serez
affecté à la cellule A à D
du début à la fin de votre
séjour à Cold Lake.
Quant aux occupants
existants, leur fichier a
déjà été confié à la RSC
chargée de la cellule
appropriée, en fonction
de l’initiale de leur nom
de famille ; lorsqu’ils
voudront se renseigner
sur un service, c’est cette
RSC
qui
s’occupera
d’eux.
Toutes
les
RSC
répondront au téléphone
et
établiront
les
demandes de travail.
Toutes les vérifications
faites
par
téléphone
au sujet des travaux
effectués
le
seront
par la représentante
chargée de la cellule
appropriée.
L’objectif
est d’offrir un service
cohérent aux occupants
tout au long de leur
séjour dans les logements
administrés par l’ALFC.
Les
modifications
entrent
en
vigueur
immédiatement.
Nos
heures
d’ouverture vont de 7 h
30 à 15 h 45, du lundi au
vendredi, sauf le jeudi
où nos bureaux ouvrent
à 9 h.
Nos numéros de
téléphone

Mission San Luis Rey de Francia
Father Marian
Korzeniowski
Having
studied
the history of the
Catholic Church, I am
familiar with the history
of California and the
21
Spanish
missions
established by Catholic
priests of the Franciscan
order
between
1769
and 1833 to spread
Christianity among the
local Native Americans.
Right after Easter I
flew to California to visit
a good friend of mine.
He is a Franciscan friar
stationed at one of those
missions, San Luis Rey
de Francia (St. Louis,
King of France). The
mission is located in the
city of Oceanside, just
a few kilometres from
Camp
Pendleton.
It
was founded in June,
1798
and
was
the
18th of the Spanish
missions established in
California.

Chapel Life Programming
All local military/DND and visiting military/

What a beautiful
location!
Built
on
a
hill
overlooking
the
mountains
and
the Pacific Ocean, it is
designated a National
Historic Landmark for
its
pristine
example
of a Spanish mission
church complex. The
church was built in 1811.
It is very beautiful and
many couples from all
over the US choose to
get married here. One
can visit the cemetery,
museum, huge retreat
house and explore the
pathways around the
monastery.
During my three
day stay I saw many
busloads
of
people
visiting the mission. I
was fortunate enough to
stay in the Franciscan
friars’ convent admiring
beautifully maintained
courtyards full of rose
bushes and flowers. In
the biggest courtyard
there is a pepper tree
that was planted here in
1830, huge and still fully
alive – it will be 200 years
old in 15 years! And the
first season’s episodes
of the Zorro TV series
were filmed there. Walt
Disney added a skull
and crossbones to the
cemetery entrance.
For the history buffs
I might add that during
the Mexican-American
war
in
California
(1846-1847), the Mission
was utilized as a military

I told my priest
friend
that
I
will
be coming back. If you
are ever in southern
California or the San
Diego area, the Mission

Francia is worth a
visit from a historical
perspective as well as
being an inspiration
for the human spirit in
search of peace, beauty
and fulfillment.

HOROSCOPES
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
An idea tanks at the office. Relax, Capricorn. All is not lost. With
a little fine-tuning, you can make the idea work and turn the tide
in your favour.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Complaints at home increase, and you have no choice but to
make some major changes. Give others a say, Aquarius, and all
will go well.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Psst, Pisces. Someone is watching your work intently these
days. Continue to perform to the utmost standards, and you will
be rewarded.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
Ay yi yi, Aries. The chores pile up at home. Time to get the
family onboard and make quick work of the to-do list. A letter
arrives with a memento tucked inside.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Hear ye, hear ye, Taurus. Someone near and dear to your heart
has been trying to get a hold of you for months. Return the call.
They have amazing news to share.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
Cheer up, Gemini. This is not the first time a loved one has hit
rock bottom. They will recover, but it will not happen overnight.
Patience and support will be vital.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Communication sorely lacks at the office, and it shows. While
you can’t resolve the problem, Cancer, you can ensure you
don’t contribute to it.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
Review is crucial, Leo. Proof everything you do this week—all
of your work, all of your correspondence, all of your financial
transactions—everything. Something is amiss.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
Clingy, Virgo? Not you, but definitely a loved one. Be nice but
be careful you don’t encourage the behavior. You don’t want to
become their go-to person.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
It’s not easy being green, Libra. Who wants to rinse and sort
containers when you could so easily toss them into the trash?
You do! For yourself, your family, the world.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Great. You do all of the work but get none of the credit. Cheer
up, Scorpio. The people that matter know. A challenge is
presented and accepted.
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21
Frustration grows in the planning of an event. Compromise
is key, and it is up to you to get the conversation started,
Sagittarius. A text inspires.
