In the past few months, there is one specialevent that has been written about extensively andthat is the Centennial of Flight initiative, whichcommemorates 100 years of powered flight inCanada. At 14 Wing Greenwood, the annual WinterCarnival is also warmly welcomed, so it is fittingthat this year the Winter Carnival will have aCentennial of Flight theme. This way, the Wingcan pay tribute to the vintage Royal Canadian AirForce aircraft that have flown within Canada overthe past 100 years.

Instead of breaking down the friendlycompetition in terms of Squadrons or Branches,the 2009 Winter Carnival will be a little different.There are four teams with the first being theSpitfires; they will be represented by the Civiliansof the Wing and their era will be the 1940s. Thesecond team is the Golden Hawks; they will berepresented by the Junior Ranks and their era willbe the 1950s. The third team is the Arguses; theywill be represented by the Senior Non-Commissioned Members and their era will be the

1970s. Lastly, there are the Officers; their team nameis the Lancasters and their era will be the 1960s.Each Team will be identified by a coloured scarf:Spitfires will be sky blue, forest green for theGolden Hawks, fire truck red for the Arguses andnavy blue for the Lancasters.

By purchasing your Commemorative Centennialof Flight coin for only $10.00, you will have accessto all of the weekend events, including dances,the lip sync competition and other activities such

The LCC is delighted to in-form you that the DNDMentoring Program has beenlaunched. This is a leadershipcompetency development ini-tiative sponsored by ADM-HR Civ.

Mentoring is a universallyaccepted approach to profes-sional development. It is de-fined as a professional rela-tionship in which an experi-enced person (the mentor)voluntarily shares knowl-edge and insights with a lessexperienced person (thementee) who wishes to ben-efit from that exchange. Men-tors meet with their menteesusually on a monthly basisfor an hour. The relationshiplasts 12 to 18 months basedon the agreed upon learningobjectives. It is important tonote that the decision to bepart of a mentoring relation-ship is considered a learningactivity and should be in-cluded in the personal learn-ing plan.

Participants of mentoringprograms report positivegains and significant returnson their investment in devel-oping a mentor-mentee rela-tionship. It has been de-

scribed as an energizing,stimulating experience fromboth perspectives: the em-ployee who benefits from wisecounsel as they advance theircareer plans and the managerwho shares their strategiesand breadth of knowledge.

As part of our commitmentto strengthen and renew ourworkforce at DND, we encour-age indeterminate civilian em-ployees and civilian and mili-tary managers to actively par-ticipate in this program. Weare counting on civilian andmilitary managers to supportcivilians in their organizationsto register as mentees.

A solid pool of civilian andmilitary mentors, who bring abroad range of work experi-ences, is essential to the suc-cessful implementation of thisprogram. If you are a civilianor military manager and youare in one of the followingoccupational categories, con-sider registering as a mentorby visiting this website: http:// h r . o t t a w a - h u l l . m i l . c a /D N D M e n t o r i n g -MentoratMDN:• All Exs: EX01 to EX05, Col

When you register as amentee, you will be asked toestablish your mentoring re-quirements. Based on yourgoals and preferences, you

will then be paired with a men-tor through an electronicmatching system. It is the aimof the program to provide eachmentee with a list of up tothree potential mentors. Allparticipants in the program,mentees and mentors, willhave access to an onlinementoring course, which willprovide the necessary knowl-edge and tools to effectivelymanage the mentee-mentorrelationship.

Program BenefitsThis Program provides ci-

vilian employees the means toestablish mentoring relation-ships throughout the Depart-ment. These relationshipspromote excellence among theDND workforce, by creatingan environment that fosters:

Learning: Developing keyleadership competencies andmastering related skills to per-form effectively as a leader inthe workplace.

Kandahar Airfield,Afghanistan — Fighter jets,armoured vehicles and armedsoldiers do not normally figurein the background of acompetitive event — but, thenagain, Afghanistan is hardly anormal place to hold one.

The morning chill of NewYear’s Day found 135 soldiersfrom a multitude of nationseagerly waiting for the race to

start. It was no New YorkMarathon, but the competitivespirit was keen. The course wasthe appropriate distance andpresented a significantchallenge despite being flat. Analtitude of 3,300 feet will do that.

“The idea behind organizingthe event came as a result of aconversation with a friend whilegoing out for a morning run,”said race organizer Captain PaulWilliams (time: one hour, 51minutes, 43 seconds) of FBattery, a component of the 3rdBattalion, The Royal Canadian

Kandahar Airfield, 1 January 2009 — And they’re off! The blast of a horn starts runners in the 2009Kandahar Airfield Half-Marathon. (credit/source: Cpl Andrew Saunders, Joint Task Force Afghanistan)

Kandahar + half-marathon = perfect start to 2009Regiment Battle Group.

Trooper Caine Warburton ofAustralia was the overallwinner with an impressive timeof one hour, 19 minutes and 12seconds.

“To be honest, I was verysurprised with the attendance,”said Capt Williams. “This is abusy place. The race wasorganized early in the morningso that everyone could getback to work.”

Being physically fit, andmaintaining a high level ofphysical fitness even during

deployments, is more thanimportant; it is every soldier’sresponsibility. At work for 12 to18 hours a day, seven days aweek, soldiers deployed inKandahar still find time to workout at the gym and jog.

“We had a good group ofpeople show up for the race.Some were here aiming for apersonal best and others werehere for the feeling ofaccomplishment. Despite somesore muscles, I think everyonehad a good time,” added CaptWilliams when it was all over.

Parsons wrote: “A good bird-watching day, we had a pairof Northern Cardinals, 1,Downy Woodpecker, 1,American Tree Sparrow, 3Common Redpolls, 4, BlueJays, 3 Black-cappedChickadees, 5 Dark-eyedJuncos, 5 A. Goldfinches, 4Mourning Doves. Happy tosee the Redpolls back!” Let’shope the C. Redpoll’s delayedarrival means that there isample food for them furthernorth.

Near the Digby wharf, GaryMyers saw a flock ofBuffleheads and a “single,Red-Throated Loon (RTL) inwinter livery”. The RTL is awinter migrant to our coastalwaters: the Common Loon(CL) is with us year round.This time of year, usingbinoculars, accurateidentification can be achallenge. The CL is about13cm longer, with a wingspan25cm greater, and weighs 3times as much (bulkier): thesedetails plus the CommonLoon’s thick neck & bill,noticeable forehead can helpin deciding which species youare viewing. Recently, Garysaw 30 Cedar Waxwings attheir feeders in Morden.

In Middleton, Anne andFred Balcomb reported: “wesaw a hawk take a mourningdove, later we had ‘OUR’cardinals here at least 40different times during the day.Sometimes two femalestogether and at other timestwo males and sometimes amale and female together.They look so nice against the

white snow, but that leavesthem very unprotected. Doyou know if they take seedsback to their homes (nests!)?It kept us busy cleaning snowfrom the feeders and keepingtheir feeders full, but reallyworth it.” I could not findevidence to support Cardinalsstoring food, however, duringnesting season the male doescarry food to the female andoffspring. Ref: [“Handbook ofBird Biology” Sandy Podulka,Ronald W. Rohrbaugh, Jr.,Rick Bonney, eds.]

In Margaretsville, HelenSharp wrote: “I have 6, PineSiskins that have been heresince Boxing Day with theGoldfinch gang. They areeating off my step and landingby the French door in thekitchen. They know mysystem now. How do theysurvive this winter weather?What keeps them fromblowing off the trees at night?I am out there 6:30 a.m. gettingtheir meals organized. I havebeen able to keep the feedersoutside since the cold andwind came. I guess theRaccoons are tucked insomewhere for the duration. Ihope they have a longsnooze! The little birds are myspecial pets now with Binkeygone.” This time of year birdsspend daylight hours eatingjust to survive through thenight. At night many species,for example, Black-cappedChickadees have a metabolismthat partially shuts down,therefore, minimizing theirbodies demand for energy.Their streamlined, diminutivebodies present limitedresistance to the winds and

one only needs to experiencehaving a bird, like a Chickadee,land on their finger or hand torealize the strength andefficiency of their tiny claws.When it gets below -4C,raccoons will find a den inwhich to sleep. For example,hollow trees and logs or densabandoned by other animals,hibernating with others toshare body heat. ForRaccoons, hibernation, likebears, is more of a torpor. Theymay awaken during winter and

go out to hunt a little.Ted Kajdas wrote:

“Business as usual at thefeeders: at one time there wereover 20 Dark-eyed Junco,other species and one verylonely Red Crossbill. Can’tremember when I last saw thisspecies.” Barbara and I saw3, on 20 Dec 08, during theKingston CBC.

In Aylesford, Ann Youngwrote: “My bird feeder is asbusy as ever with all theregulars. The Red-bellied

Woodpecker is still here...hejust had a bit of a fight with astarling...he won! I saw 6, male,Ring-necked Pheasants on theside of highway 101 yesterdaynear exit 15.

Hearing AidFound

An “In the Ear” hearing aid has been foundand is now pinned to the

Kingston Post Office Bulletin Board .

Dear Editor:In the summer of 1940 we

were a little southeast ofLondon in a village calledWoldingham. Most civilianshad evacuated this village asit was not far from two R.A.F.fighter bases Biggin Hill andCaterham, and Nazi bombingwas expected.

Letter to the EditorI was with Battalion H.Q. at

this time and if the Germansstarted to drop paratroops onthose fighter bases the WestNovas would have had theirhands full but it never cameto that.

I was in one of the housesthat had been taken over bythe War Department, a big

two storey building and everyroom was occupied.

One night two bombsexploded not far away andthen another one quite closeso the concussion openedsome doors, and severalwindows where we were onthe floor but no one was hurt.There were several bombsdropped in our area and a fewminor causalities, but we werelucky.

The War Department wassure that fighter bases wouldbe first attacked by paratroopsif an invasion came but Hitlerchanged his mind andattacked Russia.

The Battle of Britain wasnow on and we often usedbinoculars to watch whathappened at these fighterbases. Sometimes Spitfireswould come in for a landing andyou could tell that the pilothad been wounded or the

fighter was partially disabled.It was a busy time for the

ground crews. When a fighterlanded there was so muchactivity, ammunition and fuel,the pilot hardly had time for acup of tea.

Once we were moved downnear Dover on the Channelcoast, as it was thought thatthe Nazi might invade therebut it never happened. Everymorning at exactly seveno’clock those big guns startedto fire at the French coast, andshells exploded in Dover.

For a while we were nearBrighton, there were whitesandy beaches for miles, aperfect place for an invasionbut it never happened.

While the West Novaswere in England there was nocombat but that came laterwhen we hit Italy, also on theWestern Front.
