Similarly, in his role as the Joint Forces Air Component Commander, the 1 Canadian Air Division (1 CAD) commander relies on a network of liaison staff, called Air Component Command Elements (ACCE), to advise and support their regional commander to meet their specific needs for air power. For the Atlantic region, the role to ensure the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) provides responsive and task-tailored air support belongs to Colonel Pat Thauberger. As an extension of 1 CAD, the ACCE is the liaison and subject matter expert on the employment of air power to the Regional Joint Task Force Commander, and can act as go-between to coordinate regional RCAF efforts, Thauberger says. In the specific context of the Atlantic region, we support Rear-Admiral John Newton, (Joint Task Force) Atlantic Commander, in his four separate and distinct roles.

Supporting the Atlantic coast out of Halifax presents unique challenges to Thauberger and his staff. The region itself is arguably the most diverse and dynamic of our regions, comprising the four Atlantic Provinces, and parts of Nunavut and Quebec, he says. This search and rescue region has the greatest combination of volume and complexity, and most people would be amazed at the sheer volume of marine activity operating in and transiting through every day. Beyond the number of roles encompassed by the commander, the size of the headquarters is significant, continues Thauberger. While it is clearly a very Navy-focussed HQ, we work with the HQ element of 5 Division and the Regional Joint Task Force. On the RCAF side, with the four operational wings and a detached squadron in our region, we are kept busy supporting the multiple operational and exercise missions on a daily basis. Thauberger, a veteran air navigator and now an air combat system officer of the CP140 Aurora community, has held command positions with 404, 405 and 415 squadrons in Greenwood; with the Directorate of Air Strategic Plans and the Strategic Joint Staff in Ottawa; and deployed on Operations Sharp Guard, Apollo and Athena. His recent appointment as officer in charge of ACCE (Atlantic) provides him with a new perspective on air power. This is my first posting in the operational level of command, he says. Fortunately, we have some very experienced and talented officers and NCMs that keep the operation humming along. The biggest thing I have taken away is that true joint operations are developed and take place at the operational level it s where the magic Managing Editor Directrice de rédaction Sara Keddy local/poste 5441 auroraeditor@ns.aliantzinc.ca Business & Advertising Affaires commerciales et publicité Anne Kempton local/poste 5833 auroramarketing@ns.aliantzinc.ca Production Coordinator Coordonnateur de production Brian Graves local/poste 5699 auroraproduction@ns.aliantzinc.ca Administrative Clerk Commis à l administration Sandi LeBlanc local/poste 5440 auroranews@ns.aliantzinc.ca Editorial Advisor Conseiller à la rédaction Lieutenant (Navy) Sylvain Rousseau local/poste 5101 sylvain.rousseau@forces.gc.ca theaurora happens! I have immensely enjoyed increasing our engagement and integration into the Navy s operational planning, and working with my staff to man the phones to make the operations happen, whether it be with the wings, 1 CAD, Canadian Joint Operations Command, or our international partners. In 2014, Thauberger s staff supported the planning of Exercise Vigilant Shield - a significant North American Aerospace Defense Command exercise, and traveled to 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, to witness the National Search and Rescue Exercise, which increased his perspective on the overall RCAF capability in that field. The colonel s staff is also regularly deployed on major and minor deployments and exercises from the Caribbean to Europe and Asia. With the high-readiness wing being mounted from two of the operational wings from the Atlantic region, 2015 promises to bring new challenges to ACCE (Atlantic).

Souvenez-vous de toujours être alerte, car les accidents peuvent se produire en un clin d oeil. Soyez toujours très prudent lorsque vous circulez dans les stationnements et les secteurs non marqués. Dans le stationnement du côté est du Hangar 10, de nombreux accidents ont failli se produire entre des véhicules qui roulaient par-dessus les lignes jaunes indiquant «Pas de stationnement». Ce stationnement est démarqué, car il est parallèle à l allée Tusker. Lorsque les conducteurs ne prennent pas le temps de se rendre jusqu aux voies d entrée et de sortie marquées, ils traversent les lignes «Pas de stationnement», et se mettent eux-mêmes ainsi que les personnes qui circulent sur l allée Tusker en danger. Vous ne pouvez pas bien voir avec des véhicules stationnés des deux côtés du vôtre. Tous doivent veiller à utiliser les voies d entrée et de sortie appropriées et à faire preuve d une extrême prudence dans tous les stationnements.

Corporal B.Kenny, A2 Imaging de plus en plus problématique, car tous pensent qu ils ont le droit de passage; en fait, ce n est pas le cas. Selon le Code de la route en Nouvelle- Écosse, tout conducteur qui quitte un stationnement est tenu de par la loi d arrêter et de déterminer si la voie est libre avant de continuer. Lorsque deux véhicules ou plus arrivent en même temps à une intersection (marquée ou non), le véhicule à la gauche doit alors céder le passage. Peu importe le «droit de passage» que vous estimez avoir, soyez toujours entièrement prêt à céder la voie aux véhicules qui s en viennent lorsque vous vous approchez d une intersection. Vous pourriez ainsi éviter une collision. Durant les mois d hiver, laissez-vous toujours un peu plus de temps pour arriver au travail à l heure et dans le respect de la sécurité. L hiver amène aussi la présence des grosses déneigeuses sur les routes. Essayez toujours de rester à une distance appropriée de ces déneigeuses, de façon à ce qu elles puissent faire leur travail en toute sécurité.

5 MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE Page 5 Safe driving around 14 Wing everyone s responsibilit y Master Corporal David Bruce, 2 I/C Road & Vehicle Safety, 14 Wing Greenwood There have been numerous accounts and concerns of high risk driving areas reported at 14 Wing Greenwood. Remember to always be on alert, as mishaps can occur in the blink of an eye. Always use caution while proceeding through parking lots and unmarked areas. In the parking lot on the east side of Hangar 10, there have been numerous close calls between vehicles which drive over the marked yellow lines that state No parking. This parking lot is marked off, as it runs parallel with Tusker Lane. When drivers do not take the time to proceed to the marked in/ out routes, they cross over the No parking lines, putting themselves and others traveling on Tusker Lane in danger. You won t get a good line of sight with vehicles parked on both sides of your vehicle. Everyone must be sure they re using the proper in/ out routes and use extreme caution in all parking lots. In the northeast corner of the Hangar 5 parking lot, there are three entrance ways - with few markings.

8 Page 8 Page 9 Winter fun ahead! Carnival events focus on families Get set for some old fashioned fun and we mean ancient at the 14 Wing Greenwood Winter Carnival. This year s events get underway February 13, with the annual kick-off pep rally at the Annapolis Mess. 14 Wing squadrons and branches in six teams, all themed around Ancient Civilizations, will be attempting to set the tone for all things Greek, Roman, Viking, Egyptian and others, all representing ancient peoples and cultures from history. Yes, Winter Carnival is competitive, with all the events and points up for grabs, says carnival committee co-chairman Captain Brian LeBreton. But I ve been really impressed with all the different ideas that have come to the committee from the volunteers, who are working off each other s energy as we have been planning for this. You can tell everyone is really working hard to make this a great winter carnival. LeBreton says the favourites hockey, curling, the pool relays and Mess leisure games are all back on this year s schedule, but he s also looking forward to seeing newer events unfold in the next couple of weeks. The float decorating contest at the pep rally: it s great to see what happens when you let people s imaginations run wild. We ve got ball hockey for adults and kids, and that s always enjoyable. And what would be a Winter Carnival without beavertails?! This year, as Friday, February 20 events bring team participants and supporters to the Fitness & Sports Cen- tre, food trucks will be set up in the parking lot with fresh beavertails and toppings and sausages on a bun. Bring a few dollars for a treat, and a chance to have a sociable noon lunch with co-workers and friends. The food trucks will be back again Saturday, February 21 during the day s family events. Those Saturday events are also new to this year s schedule, a direct response to Wing Commander Colonel Iain Huddleston s interest in seeing personnel s families come out for the fun and the camaraderie of being among friends. Winter Carnival is about coming together, and the current deployment is affecting the wing, and 405 Squadron in particular not just personnel, but their families, says carnival committee co-chair Captain David Penney. We re really inviting those families to come and be a part of events. LeBreton agrees; and, while the week s events are designed for fun, families, and coming together as a community, the week ends with the adult-oriented and popular! team lip sync challenge Saturday evening at the Annapolis Mess. Get your Winter Carnival 2015 all-access key chains now from unit representatives around the wing. The 15 key chain also gets you several chances to win one of carnival s great raffle prizes: a 1,200 travel voucher, an 800 Halifax weekend or a 500 Canadian Tire gift card.

Les activités de cette année démarrent le 13 février par le lancement annuel du pep rally au mess Annapolis. Les escadrons et branches de la 14 e Escadre, répartis en six équipes sous le thème des civilisations anciennes, tenteront de donner le ton pour tout ce qui a trait aux civilisations grecque, romaine, viking, égyptienne et autres, qui représentent toutes des peuples et des cultures anciennes de l histoire. «Oui, le carnaval d hiver est un événement compétitif, avec toutes les activités et les points à rafler. Mais j ai été vraiment impressionné par toutes les différentes idées que le Comité a reçues de la part des bénévoles, qui travaillent ensemble pendant les préparatifs. On peut dire que tout le monde travaille vraiment dur pour offrir un grand carnaval d hiver», affirme le capitaine Brian LeBreton, coprésident du Comité du carnaval d hiver. LeBreton dit que les favoris hockey, curling, l épreuve de relais (natation) et les jeux de loisirs du mess ont tous été reconduits au programme de cette année, mais espère voir de nouvelles activités se dérouler au cours des prochaines semaines. «Le concours de décoration d objets flottants lors du pep rally : c est formidable de voir ce qui se produit lorsqu on permet aux gens de laisser libre cours à leur imagination. Nous avons le hockey-balle pour adultes et enfants, une activité qui a toujours été agréable. Et que serait un carnaval d hiver sans queues de castor?» Cette année, étant donné que les activités du vendredi 20 février se tiendront au Centre de conditionnement physique et de sports, des camions de restauration seront installés dans le parc de stationnement pour offrir aux participants et aux supporters des queues de castor fraîches ainsi que des saucisses sur petit pain avec garnitures. Apportez quelques dollars pour vous acheter un petit cadeau et pour apprécier le repas du midi avec vos collègues et amis. Le camion de restauration reviendra samedi le 21 février lors des activités de la journée de la famille. Ces activités du samedi ont été ajoutées au calendrier de cette année, en réponse directe au désir du commandant de l escadre, le colonel Iain Huddleston, de voir les familles des militaires venir célébrer et de constater la camaraderie entre amis. «Le carnaval d hiver se veut une occasion de rassemblement, et le déploiement actuel touche l escadre en général, et le 405 e Escadron en particulier pas seulement le personnel, mais aussi leurs familles. Nous invitons vraiment ces familles à venir participer aux activités», dit le coprésident du comité du carnaval d hiver, le capitaine David Penney. LeBreton est du même avis. Les activités de la semaine sont destinées à l amusement, aux familles et au renforcement communautaire. Ainsi, la semaine s achève par un concours de synchronisation labiale (lip-sync) populaire pour adultes, qui se tiendra le samedi soir au mess Annapolis. Procurez-vous dès maintenant votre chaîne porte-clés à accès illimité du carnaval d hiver 2015 auprès des représentants d unité qui se trouvent dans l escadre.

Valley readers encouraged to find a book For the third year in a row, the Annapolis Valley Regional Library (AVRL) will be participating in International Book Giving Day. International Book Giving Day is celebrated world-wide February 14 each year. The goal is to get books into the hands of as many children as possible, including teens and adults. People are encouraged worldwide to give a book to someone: leave a book in a waiting room for children to read, or donate a gently used book to a local library, hospital or shelter; or to an organization that distributes used books to children in need internationally. During the week of February 9 to 14, Valley branch libraries will be hiding wrapped gift books in the community. Whoever finds the book gets to keep it - or share it with a friend. Donated, gently used books are used as the give-aways. Look for pictures of the hidden books on Facebook, Twitter and the AVRL website. If you find a book, use the #giveabook hashtag to let the library know! FOSTER S FIRE & SAFETY LTD.

Submitted Middleton for Hockeyville Meet Middleton s 2015 Youth Ambassadors Allyson Evans The process of becoming a Youth Ambassador for the Town of Middleton is one that I will never forget and that has thought me many valuable life lessons. It was a pleasure to spend my summer attending various town events, participating with members of the town, my fellow contestants and the community s youth. The process was clothing footwear jewellery antiques giftware Like us on Facebook 775 Central Ave., Greenwood Commercial St., Middleton full of unique experiences like attending Middleton in Action day camp, working with the recreation department, meeting a service group, and giving speeches to the town, while also meeting some incredible new people. I was given the Middleton Rotary club as my service group, this allowed me to learn about everything they do, and have done, while attending Middleton is Kraft Hockeyville Thanks for shopping local! a meeting of theirs and speaking on the topic of volunteerism. The Rotarians are an amazing group of people. The other major part of becoming a youth ambassador is creating a project plan of a project you will carry out if selected as a youth ambassador; my project, a tourism video of the great things in our town will soon be in the making. As a youth ambassador, I am thoroughly looking forward to participating in my town, showing others what it has to offer, while also meeting all the incredible people who live in our community. Kyra Britany My name is Kyra Britney and I am a Youth Ambassador for the Town of Middleton this year. My entire experience in the Youth Ambassador program has been amazing. As a candidate, I got the opportunity to do so many great things, like volunteer at town events, work alongside my awesome fellow candidates, do some public speaking and learn from my volunteer service group, The Soldiers Memorial Health Auxiliary, as well as the other service groups. I took so much away from being a youth ambassador candidate, as I m sure each one of us did. Thank you to the youth ambassador committee, FRASER S PR town council, our volunteer service groups, my amazing fellow candidates, and the Town of Middleton for giving me such an unforgettable and valuable experience. I m so excited to continue my role as a Youth Ambassador along with Allyson. I hope everyone has a great year.

15 Page 16 Middleton for Hockeyville Heart of hockey? You bet! Kraft Hockeyville : We are a country passionate about hockey. It brings us together as fans, friends, family and, ultimately, as a community. Hockey has built so many of our communities, and those communities, in return, have helped define hockey in Canada. The place where this all comes together is the local arena. Without repairs and upgrades, we risk losing not just a piece of our cultural identity, but our community spirit. Any community within Canada with a hockey arena, a love for hockey and needs help raising money to reach their goal was invited to submit a Hockeyville nomination by February 8. Middleton Heart of the Valley! Home of the Mustangs! The Blues! The Monarchs! Middleton was already on its way to proving its love of hockey, with a kickoff party in January, a flash mob hosted by the community minor hockey organization, a coaches on-ice matchup and an active facebook presence.

March 28, vote between the top two finalists and help pick the winner! The winning Kraft Hockeyville community will be announced on Hockey Night in Canada later this spring. Not only will they have the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game, they will also win 100,000 in arena upgrades.
