Twelve swimmers from Cold Lake, three from Edmonton and one from Suffield took part in pool sessions, dry-land training and technical lectures. “The camp is about learning how to compete in the sport of swimming,” said Danielle Allard, the camp’s technical organizer. “It’s not so much about how to swim as it is about how to compete better.” E4001617 $193,700 The Canadian Armed Forces’ chief official for swimming, Sgt Michelle Neilson, taught participants about the rules at official swim meets. CAF competitions conform to Masters Swim Canada rules. Capt Riaz Ingar of the 22 CF Health Services Centre’s physiotherapy department gave a session on injury prevention, and Derek Coe of 4 Wing’s Health Promotion department discussed nutrition as part of swim meet strategy. Dry-land training focused on mobility and stability issues for swimmers. There were also E4001761 $649,900 five two-hour pool sessions over the course of the threeday camp. Participants swam in official time trials at the end of the camp, an opportunity for them to qualify for the CAF national competition in Markham, Ontario this April.

Lt Mat Strong of Wing HQ, one of the swim coaches, said six individuals qualified for nationals. “It was a great camp,” he said. “Everybody enjoyed it. Thanks to the organizers from PSP, people came away with more skill and knowledge than they arrived with.” “4 Wing athletes benefit from the JJ Parr facility and our PSP staff, and we want to thank the participants who came from out of town for letting us showcase what we have in Cold Lake,” Lt Strong said. Five of the six qualifying swimmers are from Cold Lake: Capt Sarah Graves, Capt Dave Tucker, Lt Catie Keyser, Cpl Adam Dore and Avr Chris Holden. The sixth, Capt Tracy Allie, is from 3 CDSG in Suffield.

I have wide feet, and when buying new shoes I was never able to say “they fit.” The best I could manage was “they’ll do.” Sometimes they pinched, sometimes they squeezed. Sometimes I had to get them a size too long just to get them wide enough. The first footwear I ever got that truly fit was my old CF black ankle boots. I might have been the only person whose feet were comfortable in those. But just before I retired, they changed the sizing and introduced steel toes. Hello safety, goodbye comfort. Civilian shoes were simply impossible. There’s such a limited market for the F-width, it’s not worth most manufacturers’ time to make and distribute such freakish footwear. About 15 years ago, though, I bought a pair of plain brown shoes that fit perfectly. I wore them every single day for five years, until they finally gave up the ghost. Since I hate shoe-shopping, I cleverly ordered two more pairs of the same shoes online. I haven’t set foot in a shoe store since. (Apologies to our excellent local shoe merchants.) I’ve worn these babies in sun and rain, snow and slush. I worked in a grocery store, spending hours on my feet and having all manner of slop spilled on them. They stood the test admirably. One pair has been retired, the other is hanging in. Nothing lasts forever. My plain brown shoes still shine up pretty good – there is something about the patina of old leather. But there’s holes in the soles and places where the laces are clinging for dear life. When they’re dusty and scuffed, they are genuinely and profoundly ugly. I’ve found the same model online, for twice as much as they used to cost. But it’s worth it – not just for the shoes, but for five more years of shoe-store freedom.

Member of: air taSk ForCe-iraQ Aviation Systems Technicians deployed with Air Task Force-Iraq (ATF-I) are responsible for regular service on the RCAF’s CF-18 Hornets, and specialize in maintaining the airframe, weapon systems, or engines. “I’m performing a B-Check, which is the short version for Before-Flight Check. Essentially, I prepare this Hornet for its mission, making sure that it is in perfect condition before the starting process,” explains the technician as he takes a quick look inside the cockpit. “Among other verifications, I check the fuel, liquid oxygen and oil levels, landing gear, flight controls, and the engines. The pilot will also go through additional checks before a flight.” “I’m in charge of fixing the engines and all the associated systems, and I love it,” he said. “Some of my work related challenges in Kuwait include sandstorms and extreme heat.” “In short, I must protect the engines from the sand while working in extreme temperatures. At the end of the day, we do what we can to support the operation.” Technicians perform a specific synchronized routine for departures and arrivals. Among other tasks, they are responsible for starting, marshalling, and refuelling the aircraft. “We are taking good care of our aircraft but most importantly, we watch out for our peers. As an example, we are surrounded by ammunition every day, which requires extra precautions and safety measures, especially when the jets are armed,” he said. “As members of the Fighter Detachment, we follow thorough procedures when we conduct our inspections and maintenance. This common commitment to detail makes us a more cohesive team.” The technician then points towards a few coalition aircraft parked further down the flight line; he explains that the coalition partnership extends to the technicians on the ground. “I sometimes have the chance to interact with other coalition aircraft technicians,” he says as he finishes his checks by taking a close look inside both engines. “We do what we can to assist our counterparts when possible. We have a lot in common and a natural respect establishes itself among all of us.” Want your picture in the paper? Does your unit have something planned?

A significant barrier to addressing mental health issues is that the subject of mental health may seem too personal and none of anyone’s business. Our mental well-being typically is personal and private. We have developed methods and habits (some more beneficial than others) to manage our stress and remain resilient. However, some people develop emotional and physical symptoms that don’t resolve and consume their attention, their energy, and their lives. These symptoms can be present for weeks, months, or years – often just below the surface of interactions. It often takes collective effort and insight to recognize, and admit, when someone is emotionally unwell and needs help. Another potential barrier to dealing with the mental health issues is access to care. In recent years, Canadian Forces Health Services has implemented change to address this concern. There is a team of mental health professionals available at 4 Wing. When people are able to receive treatment close to home, maintain employment, and pursue supportive relationships, the prognosis for recovery is greatly improved. With effective and timely services available to members, treatment can be minimally disruptive in people’s lives. We continue to learn a great deal about mental illness and its underlying mechanisms. As a result, there are beneficial and effective treatment options, along with professional guidance, to promote a road to returning people to their resilient selves. This gives us more reason to be optimistic and have hope for the future. Let’s continue to talk. Problèmes émotionnels – Obstacles à la gestion des maladies mentales DeB livergooD / maJ roSS Semeniuk Les préjugés peuvent être l’un des obstacles les plus difficiles à surmonter pour quelqu’un qui souffre de maladie mentale. Un Canadien sur cinq développera une maladie mentale au cours de sa vie. Bon nombre d’entre nous connaissent un membre de la famille, un ami, un voisin ou un collègue qui en a souffert. Et pourtant, nous avons peut être été les derniers à l’apprendre à cause de la honte et de l’embarras suscités par une révélation tellement personnelle. La campagne de Bell intitulé « Cause pour la cause » veut changer les choses. Le 27 janvier, Bell Canada parraine la journée « Cause pour la cause » — une occasion d’accroître la sensibilisation du public à la maladie mentale et de susciter des conversations publiques sur cette question. On estime que seulement un tiers de tous les Canadiens qui seront atteints d’une maladie mentale recevront un traitement. Nous serions incrédules si le tiers des Canadiens ayant subi une fracture étaient traités. Est ce que les problèmes émotionnels sont moins graves? De multiples obstacles empêchent les gens de recevoir un traitement. Premièrement, le fait de reconnaître l’existence d’un problème de santé mentale et de demander de l’aide est associé à la perception d’un préjugé personnel et culturel. Un grand nombre des termes utilisés pour décrire quelqu’un qui souffre d’une maladie mentale sont négatifs, critiques, et reflètent la croyance selon laquelle ils ont un défaut. Vous avez peut être entendu l’expression « maison de fous » ou « asile » pour désigner les endroits où l’on donne des services de santé mentale. Il vous est peut être déjà arrivé de vouloir dire à un collègue qui ne semblait pas aller bien et qui était en détresse de « se faire une raison » ou de « passer à autre chose ». Cela reflète notre manque de compréhension et notre inconfort général face à la maladie mentale. Un obstacle important au règlement des problèmes de santé mentale est que ce sujet semble trop personnel et que personne ne veut s’en mêler. Habituellement, notre bien être mental est d’ordre personnel et privé. Nous avons adopté des méthodes et des habitudes (certaines plus bénéfiques que d’autres) pour gérer notre stress et conserver notre résilience. Cependant, certaines personnes développent des symptômes émotionnels et physiques qui ne se règlent pas et qui consomment toute leur attention, leur énergie et qui prennent toute la place dans leur vie. Ces symptômes peuvent durer des semaines, des mois ou des années – et ils sont souvent juste sous la surface pendant les interactions. Il faut souvent déployer des efforts collectifs et faire preuve de lucidité pour reconnaître et admettre que quelqu’un a des problèmes émotionnels et a besoin d’aide. Un autre obstacle éventuel est l’accès aux soins. Au cours des dernières années, les Services de santé des Forces canadiennes ont apporté des changements pour améliorer l’accès aux soins. La 4e Escadre est dotée d’une équipe de professionnels de la santé mentale. Quand les gens peuvent se faire traiter près de chez eux, conserver leur emploi et poursuivre leurs relations de soutien, le pronostic est beaucoup plus favorable. Si les militaires reçoivent des services efficaces et opportuns, le traitement peut à peine perturber la vie des gens.

With such a high January 27, Bell is its annual prevalence, it’s likely that hosting we all know someone Bell Let’s Talk Day who has suffered from encouraging Canadians mental health issues, to join together and though we may not be bring mental health aware of it. to the forefront. It’s not uncommon Since 2010, this for people to go without event has helped to increase mental health research and access to mental health-related services, and to break down barriers associated with mental health problems. So in celebration of Bell Let’s Talk Day 2016, I invite you to join the conversation and create an environment where people feel safe talking about mental health and seeking mental health services. This can be different for everyone. We first need to be aware of our own attitudes and behaviours. Instead of labelling someone with a mental health problem, we need to treat them as we would treat anyone else. We want to support people by treating them with dignity and respect, supporting their choices and encouraging their efforts to get help and recover. We can also eliminate the gossip that happens when someone seeks help, and stop any negative conversations we hear going on. In addition, you can increase your own mental fitness. Mental fitness can be viewed as a state of well-being in which an individual is psychologically and emotionally resilient. Someone who has a high level of mental fitness is able to bounce back after struggling through difficult and stressful times. They are able to learn from those situations, grow, move forward and develop. Mental fitness is something everyone can develop. There are many resources and tools to guide you along your path to a healthier mind. Now’s the time to do your part and help create an environment where mental fitness is a high priority, and where everyone feels comfortable seeking the professional assistance they need. If you would like more information on mental health or the resources available to you, don’t hesitate to contact the Health Promotion Office at 780-840-8000 extension 6958.

I have seen many times in others unable to forgive that their anger and resentment were killing their lives. The choice to forgive brings with it a feeling of relief, a freedom of spirit and renewed life. It is often the one who forgives rather than the person who is forgiven who receives the greater benefit. The person offering forgiveness most strongly experiences a sense of relief. Forgiveness has a twofold therapeutic effect.
