by Sgt Scott MacDonald Photo: Submitted I/C Heavy Equipment, Tn/EME

The first week of February brought Quinte West its first legitimate winter storm of the past few years. The storm, affectionately nicknamed “the big one,” was the talk of the town for days leading up to it, and while some stayed home from work on the big day, 8 Wing Snow and Ice Control (SNIC) removal crews from the Wing Transportation/Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (WTn/EME) heavy equipment section enjoyed a different kind of snow day. Putting their expertise to work and working as a team for 12 to 13 straight hours at a time, SNIC crews plow, sweep, push and blow snow meticulously, ensuring a black-top surface allowing proper friction to be attained for the con- duct of safe aircraft landings and departures.

One of the first construction projects at RCAF Station Trenton, the water tower which incorporated a pump house and observation tower was devel- oped to support the two landplane hangars and barrack block being constucted at the time. It received its characteristic checkerboard paint scheme in June 1933, a trade- mark that is preserved to this day. Although the water tower has not held water since 1989, it is original to the base and remains a part of our collective history. David Weir BA, CD of Trenton is congratulated by Mark Rashotte, owner of Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty, for once again being the company's top-producing REALTOR© from Port Hope to Brockville Ontario.

February 6 – February 12

Theme of the week: It is the most romantically intense week of the year. Whether it’s fated attractions or long drawn out end- ings, there will be changes for most of us. Many of us will have a personal understanding of what is most essential in relation- ships. The transformations will ultimately lead us somewhere more honest than we knew before. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Procrastination can cre- ate more anxiety than it seeks to avoid, but some days it seems like the only option. You are ready to go, and yet there is an internal conflict causing you to hold back. Find a small, gentle way to introduce desirable momen- tum. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The world is filled with commentators and pundits. You may encounter some- one with a starkly different perspective. You don’t have to understand it, nor do you have to top it with your own assertions. It’s enough for you to know what’s right for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Statistical surveys are criticized for reducing a population to a set of numbers, while not acknowledging the individual. You may have The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty made a wide-spread judgment. There are complexities as the weekly sponsor of our feature, The Contact Comics. you must now pay attention to. Another review will allow a more complete picture. CANCER ( June 21-July 22): You feel you have the right to a conversation. However, you can’t always make others participate, especially when they aren’t willing. Try not to force an interaction. The reconciliation will come in perfect time and not a moment sooner. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): Is what you most want now the only option? If you look closely, there are other viable choices. However, they don’t hold the same glitz and glamour as your first preference. Only you can decide if it’s worth the trade. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t have to explain yourself if you don’t want to. Just like any request, you can decide if it’s worth addressing. However, the pres- sure is on you to provide an answer. A step back will allow you to appreciate that you do have a choice. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When debit cards were first introduced, some people were sure they would com- pletely take over paper money. That, of course, did not occur. Instead, each method of payment found its place. A new element is here, but you don’t have to let go of everything you’ve done before. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The standard approach is direct, but you need a more subtle way to get your point across. As much as you would like to lay it all on the line, it will prove counter-productive. The talk will come. You don’t need to rush an explanation about why you feel the need for distance. DuJour SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your finances are asking for attention. It isn’t just about the money, but also about your asking price. Whatever you think you are worth will go through a change as a result of a moment of honesty. From here you can build a solid monetary future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A burning desire to change your circumstance overtakes you for a moment. This is the certainty only real determination can bring. However, don’t throw out every aspect of your present circumstances just yet. Manage your time to include more of what you want. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pez dispensers are col- lectable items. So are beanie babies, baseball cards, and coins. In fact, there are countless communities built on enthusiasts and hobbyists. You may feel isolated in your new interest. Look more closely and you will find cama- raderie. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A message is being driv- en to the point of overkill. There are only so many times the same thing can be reiterated before you run out of breath. You have said your piece. Now, accept what has been effective and what will not change despite your best communication skills.

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, Ext 2490 to begin the pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to provide 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 than three months prior to the wedding day. Please, keep in mind that pre-marriage 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 latter have the choice between their Wing Chaplain’s 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 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 denom- ination at the earliest convenient time. Vous planifiez de vous marier? Si vous projetez de vous marier selon le Rite de l’Église catholique romaine, aussi bien sur la Base qu’à l’extérieur, la partie catholique doit en tout premier lieu communiquer avec les bureaux des aumôniers de l’Escadre au #613.392.2811, poste 2490. Ce premier contact, qui enclenchera l’ouverture du dossier prénuptial, devrait être fait six mois avant la date de la célébration du mariage. C’est le temps minimum pour planifier la session de préparation au mariage (à laquelle les fiancés doivent participer et qui ne sont pas dispensées entre les mois de mai et septembre.) et de préparer le dossier de demande de mariage. Le dossier doit être envoyé au bureau du Chancelier de l’Ordinariat militaire du Canada, à Ottawa, au moins trois mois avant la date choisie. Ce qui précède s’applique à toute personne assujettie à la juridiction canonique de l’Évêque du Diocèse militaire du Canada; en d’autres mots, à tous les membres des FC et aux employés du MDN qui sont CR. Cependant, ces derniers ont le choix de faire appel aux services des aumôniers CR de l’Escadre ou de s’adresser au bureau du pasteur de leur paroisse civile. A noter que si la partie catholique veut se marier selon le Rite d’une Église protestante, ce qui précède s’applique encore. Il importe également de prendre note que si le dossier prénuptial n’a pas été complété et envoyé dans les délais requis, le bureau de l’Aumônier de l’Escadre ne pourra être tenu responsable de toute complication et des coûts qui pourraient y être reliés. Trois mois précédant la date: voilà le temps souhaitable que les bureaux de l’aumônier et du chancelier ont besoin pour préparer et acheminer un dossier de demande de mariage. Si vous appartenez à une Église de confession protestante et que vous souhaitez avoir votre célébration de mariage à la chapelle de l’Escadre, nous vous demandons de communiquer avec le padré de votre confession religieuse le plus tôt possible.
