Jeff Gaye The Liberation of Holland and VE Day In Canada’s history, our military history in particular, it’s impossible to identify our finest hour: a single event that we can point to and say “this is who we are.” Where to begin? Vimy Ridge comes to mind, as do the many victories and setbacks throughout the muddy, bloody battles of World War I. Where else? The Battle of Britain? Hong Kong? The Battle of the Atlantic? Our rout at Dieppe? Our victorious campaign through Italy? All these, and more, stand as examples of courage and sacrifice – Canadians giving everything they have in the soul-crushing misery of global war. Last week was the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Holland, when Canadians freed the people of the Netherlands from Nazi occupation. This moment stands out because it symbolizes Canada’s cause in all the other conflicts: to take risks and make sacrifices for the sake of others. Everything our navy, army and air force had done to that point was directed toward the liberation of Europe, and the march into Holland wouldn’t have been possible without the previous years of effort. The defining difference may be that our soldiers finally came face-to-face with the people they had freed, and that they were on hand to receive their gratitude. That gratitude lives on in the close friendship that still exists between Canada and Holland. For the grandchildren of the liberators, it can be almost embarrassing to accept the still-fervent thanks for something our generation wasn’t personally involved in. But if we weren’t part of the liberation of Holland, it is part of us. When the Dutch celebrate our veterans and honour our dead – more generously and more solemnly than we do – we should thank them for reminding us of what it should mean to be Canadian.

All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety. Distractions can include: • Texting • Using a cell phone or smartphone • Eating and drinking • Talking to passengers • Personal grooming • Reading, including maps • Using a navigational system • Watching a video • Adjusting a radio, CD player, or MP3 player The best way to end distracted driving is to educate those on the road about the danger it poses. Let’s talk about texting. Because text messaging requires the driver’s visual, manual have travelled 467 m and cognitive attention, (at 50 km/h on dry road it is the most alarming surface). What did you miss distraction – yet everyone while you were distracted? seems to be doing it. It takes on average Did you miss that five seconds to read a vehicle pulling out of a text message.

To road. Drivers must be reply to that same text message takes on average aware that there are 33 seconds during which hazards present in both time your vehicle will urban and rural driving environments. With all the potential hazards on the road, is being distracted or inattentive worth the risk? Being distracted or inattentive affects your ability to recognize a hazard, react in time and avoid the hazard. Many drivers view driving as a simple everyday task that requires minimal attention. The fact is, driving is a complex task that requires your full attention every time you get behind the wheel. Distracted driving is a deadly behaviour. By improving our understanding of how mental and physical distractions impair our ability to drive we can eliminate needless crashes that cause death and injury on our roads every day. Road and Vehicle Safety reminds everyone to drive safe. Keep your mind on the task of driving, keep your eyes on the road, and keep your hands on the wheel! Semaine nationale de la sécurité sur la route, 11 - 17 mai Sécurité automobile et routière de TgEm ERE On appelle distraction au volant toute activité risquant de détourner l’attention d’un conducteur de sa tâche principale, soit conduire. Ce problème constitue la cause de 30 % des collisions. Toute distraction met en danger la sécurité du conducteur, des passagers et des passants. La distraction peut être causée par les activités suivantes : • Envoyer des messages textes • Utiliser un téléphone cellulaire ou intelligent • Manger ou boire • Parler avec des passagers • S’arranger • Lire, par exemple une carte • Utiliser un système de navigation • Regarder une vidéo • Ajuster la radio, un lecteur de disques compacts ou un lecteur MP3 La meilleure façon de mettre fin à la distraction au volant est de sensibiliser les automobilistes aux dangers qu’elle représente.

The following awards, medals and decorations were presented: MCpl Chris Fenske was awarded the NonArticle 5 NATO Medal for Service on NATO Operation Unified Protector in Libya. MCpl Fenske was a member of Task Force Libeccio in Trapani, Italy from August to September 2011 as an Air Weapon Systems Crew Chief. Several personnel were presented with the Canadian Forces Decoration (CD) for having completed twelve years of service. A clasp was awarded for every subsequent period of ten years of qualifying service. MCpl Nicole Roache was the recipient of the AETE Commanding Officer’s Commendation for her exceptional professionalism and high level of performance. MCpl Roache is an indispensable member of AETE’s Orderly Room who is consistently relied upon to assume the roles of OR IC and Executive Assistant to the AETE senior staff, in addition to tackling the unit’s most complex administrative files. The AETE Commanding Officer’s Team Commendation was awarded to the AETE Supply Section for their outstanding efforts over the past year. Their initiatives included accounting for more than $35 million in accountable items, refurbishing the supply warehouse, manoeuvring dozens of complex purchases and changing processes to improve customer service. These changes improved the Supply Section’s support of AETE operations and projects. The AETE Supply Section is comprised of Capt Brianne Strong, Sgt Jacques Gagné, Cpl Denis Abbott, Cpl Brandon Jacobs and Ms. Deb Lasouski. The AETE “Expert of the Quarter” award was presented to Cpl Steve Harrisson.

Tuesday, May 12, 2015 The Courier News & Publishing Page 9 Grads Eligible for CWO Stauffer Scholarships WCWO Bob Viel The CWO Peter Stauffer Memorial Scholarships were created by the Medley CFB Society in honour of Peter Stauffer, the Wing Chief Warrant Officer and an active member of the Society from July 2000 until July 2004. CWO Stauffer passed away due to cancer September 19, 2004. The Society presents $2,500 scholarships in his name each academic year. In June 2005, the first two $1,000 CWO Peter Stauffer Memorial Scholarships were presented by Mrs. Rae Stauffer to honour her late husband’s memory. To date, the Medley CFB Society has presented fifteen scholarships to deserving students. CWO Stauffer was dedicated to developing and strengthening the character of the military family and improving the quality of life for the community in general. He was well-known for his commitment and support to the entire Cold Lake community, and was a strong advocate of community participation throughout his tenure as WCWO. The application process for the Memorial Scholarships is open to all graduating high school students who are dependants of personnel currently serving at 4 Wing in the CAF (Regular or Reserve), or as DND or NPF employees. The students must be planning on pursuing full-time postsecondary studies at a recognized educational institution (academic or technical), must have maintained a consistent academic standing and have contributed to the community in a demonstrable manner. Students should note that a consistent academic standing does not indicate they must be on the “honour roll.” If you have maintained a consistent grade point average – whether at a “C” level or an “A” level – you meet that eligibility requirement. Peter Stauffer never insisted that personnel “be the best” – only that they “do their best” and try to better themselves. The most important application requirement is a 500-word essay on either Leadership, Quality of Life, or Community Spirit. These values defined Peter Stauffer and were the ones he most encouraged others to develop. It is critical that applying students provide a clear and well thought out presentation of what their selected quality means to them and illustrate that quality’s influence in their own lives. The Medley CFB Society is very proud to sponsor the CWO Peter Stauffer Memorial Scholarships for dependants of 4 Wing personnel and eagerly anticipate the application submissions we receive each year. We encourage all eligible students to apply for these scholarships. The deadline for this year’s submissions is June 12. If you have questions regarding the CWO Chair of the Medley CFB Peter Stauffer Memorial Society, WCWO Bob Viel Scholarships and the at telephone 780-840application process, 8000 ext 8113 or email please contact the Vice- [email protected].

Tuesday, May 12, 2015 The Kingsway Clinic of the Cold Lake Primary Care Network (PCN) is running near its capacity, but no-show patients are affecting its overall efficiency. Patients who fail to show up for appointments, or who cancel at the last minute, are causing inconvenience for other patients, says Sheryl McCormick, the PCN’s Executive Director. “If people don’t let us know they’re not showing, there’s no chance of getting someone else in,” she said. The problem exists at both PCN locations. Kingsway Clinic, located in the Canex mall, is open to the general public so military families are not specifically to blame, McCormick said. But with 262 no-shows and 55 last-minute cancellations at PCN clinics in the last four months, it’s a problem that she says needs to be addressed. “Our goal is to provide quality care in a timely manner,” she said. “The health care system is an easy target for finding fault over ease of access, but sometimes it’s not the system that’s failing patients.” The missed appointments add up to 13.25 days worth, and that can mean significant delays for patients who need to see one of the PCN’s nurse practitioners. “We just ask patients to be courteous,” McCormick said. “Kingsway had 13 appointments booked one day and there were eight no-shows out of the 13. That’s eight other patients who could have been seen more quickly if we had been called in time to book someone in.” Kingsway Clinic is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Patients must make an appointment to see a nurse practitioner during those hours. There is also a physician on hand for walk-in patients (no appointments necessary) Wednesday evenings.

But the majority of our work is outside of the chapel context. A chaplain’s approach to physical and mental health is based in spirituality – the connection to the sacred, which can be external to religion, values, or morals. The spiritual approach is a holistic approach to helping the whole person rather than focusing on the symptoms of trouble. When one part is not healthy, it can affect the whole person. Therefore, it examines the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements of a person and how they are interconnected to maintain optimal health. As one of my doctor friends said to me, “A doctor’s role is to cure diseases through medication, treatment and external intervention. It is what the chaplain does that heals.” External intervention may include professionals like the social worker, the psychologist, and the chaplain as “healers,” where healing restores the balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit. They are essential to combat the negative influences of disease, loss or life changes. A holistic approach supports all aspects of [Across from Art Smith Aviation Academy] Sacraments Chapel Life Programming All local military/DND and visiting military/ DND personnel and their families are welcome and encouraged to join our opportunities of worship, social events, and charitable service activities.
