8th February 2010, the second of two CP-140 Aurora’s loaded with aircrew, maintenance and support personnel and parts departs 14 Wing Greenwood, destination US Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella in Sicily and Exercise Noble Manta. The exercise, which is largely considered to be among the best in the world with respect

to Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), took place from the 10-24th February in the Ionian Sea southeast of Sicily, and played host to ten NATO Nations including Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

As an exercise Noble Manta dates back more than 30 years, having been renamed from Exercise Dogfish in

2006 and with Canada having participated almost every year since its inception. The exercise represents NATOs largest annual live ASW exercise with the goal of demonstrating “NATO’s determination to maintain proficiency and improve interoperability in coordinated anti-submarine, anti-surface and coastal surveillance operations using a multi-national force of ships,

submarines and aircraft...while providing operational training in potential NATO Response Force (NRF) tasks, roles and missions.” Given the variety of nations and platforms operating, with a total of 6 submarines, 18 aircraft (including ship-based helicopters) and 8 surface ships participating this year; Noble Manta provides an unparalleled opportunity to not only hone our own ASW

skills and maintain profi ciency within a very dynamic and challenging environment. Further it offers an outstanding vehicle with which to test and compare tactics and doctrine, improve inter-operability with other nations, become re-familiarized with NATO procedures and learn from each other’s capabilities.

The detachment consisted of 32 personnel from 405

Squadron, 404 Squadron, 14 Air Maintenance Squadron as well as mission support personnel from Wing Operations, and despite a variety of administrative, operational and maintenance issues, the tireless effort of all those involved and ability to work together and “operate as one” ensured aircraft and crew were as prepared and equipped as possible making for an otherwise outstanding and successful exercise.

Over the two and one half weeks, the crew participated in a total of four missions, all of which provided excellent training opportunities for all those onboard. The fi rst trip, although quite quiet, provided the crew a good chance to work out any kinks and become familiar with exercise protocols and parameters. The second trip however was the complete opposite with the crew cooperating with one submarine while searching, tracking and fi nally simulated-attacking another, all while simultaneously coordinating and cooperating with two Italian helicopters. Although very busy, it made for a very exciting mission and provided for a number of excellent training opportunities. The third was once again for the most part quiet, although still proved a good refresher in working in a direct support role with naval surface vessels. The fourth and what was to be our fi nal mission was action packed when in operating once again in direct support, this time in conjunction with Italian

helicopters, we were able to establish and maintain contact with two separate diesel submarines simultaneously, both of which we were eventually once again able to put in simulated attacks against.

There were also ample opportunities for crew members participating in the exercise to fl y with crews from other nations, to see fi rst-hand how their equipment, tactics and capabilities may differ or be compatible with our own. We where honoured on a number of occasions to have members of the Turkish Navy accompany us on our missions, while members of our own crew seized the opportunity to ride along with American P-3 and French Atlantique 2 crews.

Despite our full participation being cut short due to aircraft issues, the exercise is still viewed as being an overall success. For some on the crew this represented a fi rst real exposure to a live ASW exercise, while for others a much appreciated refresher. Pilots were also able to gain valuable European pilot training, including a resupply to France to pickup necessary equipment, while NavComs and Acoustics were able to gain valuable experience towards there upgrades. Furthermore congratulations are in order for those who were able to successfully use this opportunity to complete check rides including: Sgt Mark Maher (AESOP B Cat) and Capt Ian Perreault (Crew Commander).

Three Major Extension Cord Risks.1. FiresThe most frequent causes of extension cord fi res? Short circuits Using old, damaged cords Overloading cords, which leads to overheating Misuse

The solution: Homeowners can reduce their risk of extension cord fi res by investing in heavier gauge extension cords and avoiding “bargain cord”

“You get what you pay for,” If you pay more money, you’re going to get a better extension cord.” Other tips include:

Replace cords that are cracked or frayed. Don’t overload cords or sockets. Don’t run cords under rugs or near heaters or

radiators. Only use exterior extension cords for outside use. Pay attention to cord quality and purpose -- don’t

use a light-duty extension cord for a job that really needs a heavy-duty variety, such as air conditioners or freezers.

Feel the temperature of the cords when they are in use. If they are hot to the touch, unplug them immediately.

2. Electrical Burns

Electrical burns to the mouth accounted for half the extension-cord-related injuries to young children.

The solution: Keep all extension cords out of the reach of children. Plugs, outlets and cords can be irresistible to young children who don’t realize their dangers. Play it safe and avoid using them if you have small children, or ensure that your child cannot get access to the cord.

3. TrippingHow many extension cords are running across your

fl oors, in heavily traffi cked, common areas, right now? This accident waiting to happen is the reason why, according to the CPSC, about half of extension-cord-related injuries involve fractures, lacerations, contusions, or sprains from people tripping over extension cords. The elderly are most at risk, as a fall can easily break bones or result in the need for surgery.

The solution: Place extension cords with extreme care, in areas that are not normally walked over. Run cords along baseboards or walls or thread them behind tables or other furniture where they are out of the way. (DO NOT put them under rugs or heavy furniture, or behind radiators or heaters, as this is a fi re hazard)

Other Tips for Safe Extension Cord Use Make sure new cords are listed by a recognized

national testing laboratory Don’t leave prongs exposed, even partly, when the

cord is in use Only use extension cords when they’re absolutely

necessary Pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting it

from the socket Special “angle extension cords” can be used where

furniture or beds may push against the plug Don’t use staples or nails to attach extension cords

to any surface Don’t exceed the total wattage listed on the cord by

plugging in too many appliances Try not to use them for long-term purposes

Herd MaintenanceIt has been a busy year at

404 Long Range Patrol and Training Squadron for the Maintenance Flight. Like most people, throughout the year, and definitely during the holiday season, we often find ourselves juggling so many different priorities. In trying to train young technicians, and turn our ‘young’ out to other organizations, effi ciency is really the key in keeping up the juggling ‘act’.

Just this year we have had to spread our time between the day-to-day training, keeping up with new technology, new training requirements, and implementing changes to existing training. On the day-to-day, we need to train more people to keep up with fl eet demands. Technology has us skating towards online learning to give us some added fl exibility. Renovations and new equipment have kept everyone hopping to get everything from cranes to new classrooms ready for use. All this, combined with aircraft upgrades, and the associated work involved of changing our courses around, makes the days really full. However, with the right team of people, the right motivation, and some thoughtful co-ordination, our accomplishments are many.

Squadron (Sqn) Deputy C o m m a n d i n g O ff i c e r, Major Jeff Davis, and Sqn Chief Warrant Offi cer Denis Gaudreault, were deployed to Canadian Heron UAV Detachment at Kandahar Airfi eld in Afganistan as part of ROTO 2. (See photo)

Aircrew UpdateThings at the pointy end

of the aircraft have gone fas t and fur ious s ince the beginning of the new M a r i t i m e O p e r a t i o n a l Aircrew Training (MOAT) in September 2009. The pilot instructor pit has had a large turnover of personnel since September. We have seen the departure of Captain (Capt)

Al Auclair, who is now raising “free range Flight Engineers” on his estate in Berwick. Al’s wit, humour and great story telling abilities will be missed a great deal. We wish him luck and good fun in his future endeavours. Capt Bernie Macdonald arrived from parental leave and is now employed as our new Standards and Training Pilot. Capt Sylvain Lavigne was posted to the Squadron from Germany, completed MOAT and was then posted to Maritime Proving and Evaluation Unit. Capt Paul Turpie left the Sqn after only seven years and is now the Training pilot at 405 Sqn. Some new faces to the Sqn are Capt Paul-Eric Gilbert and Capt Bruno Baker having both arrived from 405 Sqn and are now enjoying their time instructing newly winged pilots.

Students are progressing well and the pilot MOAT course should come to completion soon. With the 1 Canadian Air Div Commander ’s direction on the maximum use of simulation in pilot training, the pit is again in the process of creating a new MOAT syllabus that will see students trained on the simulator and then migrating to the aircraft for confirmation of newly acquired skills.

The fall and winter has been a very busy time for the Tactic Cell Flight (TCF), with the commencement of the MOAT 0902. The Tactical Navigator cell (TN) course start coincided with the Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator (AES Op) course 0902 which is not the norm these days with the MOAT adopting the de-linked format begun in 2008. The TNs started with Capt Matt Crosby from 407 Sqn Comox,, Major’s (Maj) Hotte and Pitcher both with 405 Sqn, and previously trained TNs retreads. The Maj’s have since graduated, attaining there “B” Cat qualifi cation and wil l now work on upgrading to “A” Cat at their

units. Capt Crosby however will soon be returning from Comox to complete his training after a well deserved break. Also, Maj Boisvert from Long Range Patrol Standards, Evaluation and Training and Capt Fugger from Maritime Proving and Evaluation Unit re-attained their qualifications with assistance from the cell.

The (AES Op) cell has been equally as busy in their efforts to graduate seven students also starting in September 09. Corporal’s (Cpl’s) Delorme McMillan and Senechal are from 407 Sqn, and Cpl’s Pike and Dorosz from 405 Sqn, as well as Warrant Officer Marty Way from 14 Software Engineering Squadron have graduated recently with the remaining students’ checkrides imminent!

T h e N a v i g a t o r -Communicator (NAVCOM) cell has been busy with t w o c o u r s e s r u n n i n g concurrently 0901 and1001 which started in April 09 and January 10 respectively and one primary instructor is Capt Don Jamont. At present, course 0901 has graduated two retreads; Maj’s Whalen and Rodgers both from 407 Sqn Comox and 4 new NAVCOMs in Capts Jennings and Bernardi from 405 Sqn, as well as Capts Wattie and Edwards both with 407 Sqn. As for course 1001, Capt’s Howis, MacDougall, Kuhn and Lieutenant Fox are well into the academic phase of training and are looking forward to eventual fl ights where they can put into play the knowledge they have learned in the classroom.

T h e A c o u s t i c s c e l l graduated its 16th student for 2009 just before Christmas from the new Basic Acoustic Sensor Operator MOAT course. Congratulations to Capts Blanc and Pearson from 405 Sqn, Capt Christianson from 404 Sqn and Master Corporal Ogilvie from 407 Sqn.

Finally, welcome to our newest instructors, Capt Doug Slaunwhite posted in from 405 Sqn and Capt Mark Battram from 407 Sqn. Welcome to the Herd!

By: Sgt. Hugh Pineault - 143 CEF Project Coordinator

Snow was falling on the 8th of February when tradesmen f rom 143 Const ruc t ion Engineering Flight (CEF), one of the three fl ights that make up 14 Construction Engineering Squadron (14 CES), set off for St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mahone Bay. For some, this came as a welcome change from working in the oppressive heat of Afghanistan.

One of the key mandates of 143 CEF, located in Pinegrove, NS, is community involvement and a large portion of this involves assisting with community b a s e d p r o j e c t s . T h e s e community projects are used as training vehicles and help to ensure that the trade skills of the fl ight members are well honed.

R e c e n t l y, a r e q u e s t was made for 143 CEF to provide skilled trades’ people to assist with some much needed renovations to St. John’s Church. Some may be familiar with this landmark, as it is one of the famous “Three Churches” located along the scenic waterfront of Mahone Bay, a popular tourist destination. The project request consisted of a complete renovation to the Parish Hall, including new offi ces for Pastor Kristenson and staff, a larger kitchen and Choir Sacristy, as well as upgrades to the electrical and fire alarm system. The scope of the entire project was well beyond what 143 CEF is fi nically authorized to commit to; consequently, a specific portion of the project, that met the 14 CES guide lines, was selected for completion by the unit. By the time 143 CEF personnel arrived on site, volunteers from the surrounding community were already in “full swing”

with sledge hammers and crowbars, fully engaged in the initial stages of the interior demolition.

Master Corporal Wallace Cross, an electrician who recently returned from a tour on ROTO 7 in Afghanistan, leads the project for the military personnel involved. Besides his training and deployments with 143 CEF, he has also worked at home and in Iraq as a civilian electrician, experiences he uses to the fullest. Acting as the on-site supervisor, Master Corporal Cross is applying his trade in the complete rewiring of the Parish Hall. “Community projects can be quite a challenge”, said Master Corporal Cross. “You have to be able to balance what the customer wants and what can be accomplished within a limited budget. Changes happen daily and you have to be able to keep on top of it.” Working for him are Master Corporal Shawn Stevens, a Plumbing & Heating Technician who also recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan, and Corporal Clarence Parnell, a Construction Technician who has also served in Afghanistan.

Various other tradespersons from 143 CEF have also assisted with the project. “Troops to task” can often be an issue, with the reservists of 143 CEF being heavily relied on for support to CF operations and taskings. Currently, three members of 143 CEF are deployed on a 2-month Technical Assistance Visit (TAV) to Afghanistan. Three other members have been serving in various locations throughout British Columbia on OP Podium in support of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

As the weather changes and the spring building season ramps up, 143 CEF

will be seen lending a hand in various local communities, assisting with construction jobs both large and small. As members begin returning later this month from Afghanistan and British Columbia, they

too will be called upon to lend a hand at home, a testament to the Canadian Military Engineer’s motto, “Ubique” (Everywhere), and the motto of 14 CES, “Construire” (We Build)!

$15,900

By: Caroline Couture and Eric MacKenzie

Mr. Philip Riteman does not know his own birthday.

What this Holocaust survivor knows for sure is his life’s mission; ‘to speak for the millions and millions who cannot speak’.

For over 20 years, Philip Riteman has criss-crossed North America and spoken to captive audiences about his heart-wrenching, horrifying and vivid recollections of life in Nazi concentration camps, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and Dachau.

Mr. Riteman had never spoken to the Wing and had always wanted to do so. The response and interest from the Wing and the community was incredible, and caused the location of the presentation to be moved to accommodate the larger than expected audience.

On Tuesday February 23rd 2010, over 300 individuals, consisting of 14 Wing civilian and mi l i ta ry members , veterans, MLA, and members of the community, filled the Annapolis Mess to hear Mr. Philip Riteman share his remarkable life story.

14 Wing WComd Col. Bill Seymour opened the event and introduced Mr. Riteman. Mr. Riteman thanked everyone for wanting to know what happened and explained that “we are all living in heaven and don’t even know it”. After his presentation, he opened the fl oor to questions, which were followed by the introduction of his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Riteman. At this time, the two OPIs for the event, Caroline Couture and Eric MacKenzie, asked questions to Mr. and Mrs. Riteman on the power these memories have had on their lives. The floor was then opened for a brief questions and answers period. The WAdminO, LCol. Smith McBride concluded the event by presenting the Riteman’s with a few tokens of appreciation, which included an Air Force pen and letter opener set and a framed “Power of the Memories” poster. Lastly, a certifi cate was presented to both Mr. and Mrs. Riteman on behalf of 14 Wing Greenwood of two trees that were planted in Israel “in recognition of being the voice for those who cannot speak and for keeping alive the memories of the millions who died”.

As audiences listen with teary eyes, the raw emotions on Mr. Riteman’s face make it clear that these stories don’t get easier with each retelling. The only surviving member of his family, Mr. Riteman

struggles to contain himself as he talks about his parents, grandparents, his 5 brothers, his 2 sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who have perished in the death camps. Some were Jews, some not – his town on the Russian-Polish border was massacred indiscriminately. By the time he was liberated by the Americans, six years later, he was in his early twenties and weighed 75 pounds. Although the gray tattooed number 98,706 on his left arm has faded, the nightmares and horrifi c memories of the Holocaust have not.

Mr. Riteman didn’t speak about the horrors he witnessed as a teenager, keeping the stories inside his heart for 40 years. He was welcomed to Newfoundland by his aunts where the love and support of the community helped him start his new life as a salesman. He eventually owned and operated Riteman International. He met Dorothy during a visit to Montreal in 1949. Dorothy and Philip got married and had two sons, Larry and Robert Riteman, who are both graduates of Memorial University. Larry is now a geologist in Halifax and Robert is a lawyer in Toronto. Married for over 60 years, Dorothy has been a witness to the power of memories; the recurrent nightmares and frequent waves of emotions. She has been at Philip’s side during the forty years he remained silent about his experience during the Holocaust, and every since he made the decision to speak publically about his experiences, over 20 years ago.

Mr. Riteman was fi rst asked to speak in 1989, and during his talk, recalled how he very reluctantly agreed. That fi rst step marked the beginning of two decades of speaking engagements to educate youth about the horrors of the Holocaust. Mr. Riteman believes he survived, even though he often wonders how and sometimes wishes he didn’t, so he can bear witness to the atrocities he saw and speak for those who did not survive. As a result of his tremendous work, Mr. Riteman has received honorary degrees from Memorial University and St. Thomas University, and last October, he received the Order of Nova Scotia.

“…What I do is I’m telling them little bits here and there in about an hour, they ask questions, and I show pictures taken by the Nazis,” Mr. Riteman explained. This simple description of his powerful speaking legacy, and of what took place on February 23 fails to describe the impact his talk had on the hearts of each individual in attendance. With his willingness to relive by retelling, he gives life to the victims and allows us to share in his mission of keeping the memories alive. ‘He took us on the train to Auschwitz… I was there with him; I could see what he was remembering… I was made witness to the incredible inhumanity… I was there with him, and I will never forget it for as long as I live” said a woman in attendance.

Mr. Riteman speaks with great courage, humility, generosity of spirit and without bitterness of his personal experiences in Auschwitz.

His message is one of love, respect and hope. He tells us to think for ourselves, to love one another and to stand up for what’s right. “I want the young generation to know what happened and if they know it happened, they’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again’ he says.

Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Riteman for making a difference in the lives of so many.

*** For those who would like to learn more about Mr. Riteman, or did not have the opportunity to hear him speak, can visit the Learning Career Centre where he graciously left several articles written about him, and two DVDs. One DVD is an EastLink Documentary on his life, and the second is titled “Memory of the Camps.”

Lastly, this event would not have been possible without the tremendous support and assistance of various sections; WAdmin, WTISS, WImaging, The Aurora Newspaper, the Annapolis Mess, and special thanks to Sgt. Ellsworth.

Greenwood Hachikin II Judo Club (Judokan) were off to Halifax over the weekend of February 20-21 to take part in Halifax Judo Academy’s annual 2010 Halifax Invitational Judo Tournament. The tournament took place February 20th at Halifax West High School, followed by a Judo Training Camp February 21st at the

Atlantic Training Centre in Bedford.

Judoka are divided by age and weight class, rather than by belt level for judo matches. Weigh-ins for Under 7–Under 13 took place from 7:00 – 8:00 a.m., Under 15–Senior from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Matches for the younger members began at 9am, and lasted until 12 noon. The competition was tough, but the Hachikin II

Club was up to the challenge. Hachikan II’s Brett Bruce placed fi rst in the U11 -36kg division, Jocelyn Tobin won third in the U11 -45kg division, Ryan McCann took second in the U13 -34kg division, and Tyler Strickland fi nished second in the U13 -60kg division. Sensei Charlene Oliver wants all Hachikin II tournament participants to know how proud she is of your

Hachikin II Judo Club Takes it to the Mat in Halifaxaccomplishments, efforts and conduct during the week-end events.

Are you looking for a great way to get in shape and have some fun? The Hachikin II Judo Club is gearing up for the spring session, running from April until end-June. Participants of all ages are welcome! Contact Ramona Keeping, [email protected] or by phone at (902) 765-3145 for details.

It’s a Girl

Submitted by:Dallas Harrigan

Wow! It’s March already! Where has all the time gone? It seems like only yesterday that the ladies of Beta Sigma Phi, Mu chapter were lamenting the fact that our Beginning Day wiener roast was rained out. The rain did not dampen our spirits and we started off the year catching up with our friends that we had not seen much over the summer, swapping stories and sharing a few laughs.

We`ve had many great programs so far this year Sandy started off the year by introducing us to some of her favourite authors and with that the Mu Chapter Book Club was born. Every 6 weeks or so we review a book that was chosen by a different member of Mu and read by all. So far we have had a variety, including a book by James Patterson “Sundays at Tiffany’s” and Jodi Picoult’s novel “My Sisters Keeper”. Its has been interesting to read a novel that you may not have picked yourself and in some cases it has got some of our members reading for the fi rst time in many years.

In addition to our programs

we have participated in many socials. Christmas found us once again at the Mid-Valley Restaurant where we had a delicious meal and exchanged Secret sister gifts. The secret sister gifts always bring a smile of joy to everyone. For the Valentine Tea we gathered at the Best Western Aurora

From the Desk of MuInn for brunch, where it was revealed our newest member Wendy Lincoln was chosen as this year’s Valentine Princess. Congratulations to Wendy! Mu’s Birthday had us off to Centre Stage Theatre to watch the production of The Last of Jane Austen; a comedy about two elderly women

who take on training a boxer. It was a cute play that had the audience laughing all the way through. After the play we celebrated Mu’s Birthday with cake and coffee; each of us left the party with a “loot” bag.

Although we are not a service group, the ladies of Mu

Chapter have supported many charities and organizations in the local area. This year in addition to fi lling shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, we made a donation to Habitat for Humanity and CAPS Animal Rescue.

To many women, Beta

Sigma Phi is more than just an organization, it is a lifetime of learning, loving and friendship. If you are interested in seeing what we are all about feel free to call either Karen Clow at 765-6268 or Dallas Harrigan at 765-0977.

Wendy’s Ritual of Jewels was held at the home of Vera McCormick.From L-R: Anne Kempton, Wendy Robar, Karen Clow, Vera MacCormick and
