King Clancy Award, Continued from Page 1 Sgt McLean has a passion for people that becomes evident quite quickly in conversa- tion. This passion extends to Canada as a nation, and how the country, and the free- dom it contains, allows individuals to leave an impact, no matter what social or physical factors are against them. “In Canada, that’s what it’s all about; you’re encouraged to participate and provide solutions. Whether you’re a chief executive officer of a huge corporation, or you’re Robert Hampson, a five year-old who decides to start collecting (pop tabs), you make the same difference and the same impact on society,” he said. One thing Sgt McLean believes strong- ly in is tying charities together. When peo- ple contact him about running a fundraiser for Soldier On, he encourages them to part- ner with a local charity as well. For the award, he was given $1,000 to donate to charity of his choice, which was Manitoba’s Rehabilitation for Children Foundation. “We’re all one big happy family, and we all feed off each other. We can all benefit off each other – as opposed to just going out and saying ‘we want money for this,’ ” he said. Soldier On has raised about $50,000 in private donations, and also just received a $200,000 donation.

February 17 - February 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your open and generous nature has caught the attention of a secret admirer. This person has a genuine interest in romancing you and it’s likely you will want to reciprocate. The great thing is, is this person admires you for the purity of your inner-self. This can only lead to a strong and loving relationship! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have had a lot of good times with your friends. However, lately you may be feel- ing like you are growing beyond the usual routine. You may feel like your friends engage in excess and you want to clean-up your act. It may take courage to tell the gang that you are moving on, but your friends will understand. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel an extra boost of confidence as you work towards what may seem like a distant goal. Your friends have your back and you should feel bolstered by their support. Whatever it is you are working for, it’s a long hard road but what you don’t know is your goals are a lot closer than you think. CANCER ( June 21-July 22): Choice is always a good thing, but often choice can be stressful. You may have a choice to make this week and the best advice is to think before you act. You may be led down a new and foreign path that presents fresh ideas. Welcome the change and the exotic people you will meet along the way. New can be The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal Lepage ProAlliance Realty nice! as the weekly sponsor of our feature, The Contact Comics. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): You are not used to having cir- cumstances work against you Leo, and so it may be a puz- zling week. You may find little things are getting to you and you don’t know why. This may bring out your roar. The key to getting through it is to not question things too deeply. With a little patience, things will work out for the best. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are blessed with good friends and people who love you. At times it may feel like life is rewarding you. Run with that feeling and be content that those who admire you; you are among the best peo- ple. Valentine’s Day may be over but this is a great time to show someone special just how deeply you love them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s very easy to ignore the obvious if you are having too much fun. Don’t be distract- ed by food and wine where your health is concerned. You may be over doing things and by the weekend, you may Crossword Answers start to feel it. Pace yourself and perhaps focus on whole- some, vegetable rich meals and longs walks after dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may feel you have a stronger than usual creative drive this week. Your talents are drawn from a rich pool of inner resources; tap into this to easily overcome any challenges. Surrounding yourself with dance, art, and music will help to inspire your own creativity and raw talents. You have an eye for beauty! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If there’s tension in the home you should consider your options carefully. There may be a temptation to use cutting, hurtful words and tactics in response to a conflict. Compromise can be hard among family members; take calm, patient, mature approaches and after the smoke clears, they will be ready to talk. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are prudent Capricorn, and when it comes to risks, you like to weigh your options for a good long time. This week, the risk may seem like too much. Look beyond your fears and see that the reward is greater than the risk. There’s never a guaran- tee that things will work out, but you’ll never know unless you try. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you are determined to go through with the next step, be comforted by the fact that you are more than ready. Have faith in your own abil- ities. You’ve been working towards something that may be really important to you, but the time to unveil your mas- terpiece is now. This is not a time to hesitate. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Happy Birthday Pisces! By relaxing and being yourself, people will be naturally drawn to you. You make everyone feel laid back. There is no need to change your ways, others like you just the way you are. Your friends may wish to give you presents or take you out for a celebration. Enjoy yourself!

If you are planning to get married in the Roman Catholic Church, on Base or off Base, the Catholic Party must contact first the Wing Chaplain’s Offices at 613-392-2811, local 2490 to begin the pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to pro- vide you with time to take the pre-marriage class (which must be attended) and the padre to complete the marriage file, which must be sent to the Military Ordinariate’s Chancery Office no less then three months prior to the wedding day). Please, keep in mind that pre-mar- riage classes are not offered from May to September. This is applicable to all members falling under Military Ordinariate’s jurisdiction; that means for all CF personnel and DND employees who are RC. The later have the choice between their Wing Chaplains’ Pastoral Services and their civilian parish’s. If a Catholic party wants to get married under the Rite of a particular Protestant denomination, the above still applies. If the marriage file is not processed on time the Wing Chaplain’s office will not be held accountable. Three months is the minimum time to process a canonical marriage file (to Ottawa and from. . . to the church of your wedding). If you belong to a Protestant denomination and you would like to get married at the Wing Chapel, you are asked to contact the chaplain of your denomination at the earliest convenient time. VOUS PLANIFIEZ DE VOUS MARIER?
