The Canadian Forces now have more than 1,000 personnel on the ground in Haiti, providing assistance and expertise throughout the island as its people steadily come to grips with the devastation there caused by a 7.0 earthquake on January 12. Pictured here are members of 8 Wing’s Fire Hall, working with Haitians in the port city of Jacmel in efforts to search for survivors and provide addition- al help. (left to right) Corporals Turcotte, Nicholson, Fleming, Chafe and Martin climb a hilly street in Jacmel. Members of the 8 Wing crew not seen in this photo are Corporals Wrobel and Landry, and Private Porteous. These firefighters deployed on January 14, 2010, as part of the Disaster Assistance Respo- nse Team (DART). The 12 deployed 8 Wing/CFB Trenton firefighters are also tasked to provide fire protection services for Canadian Forces camps in Jacmel.

Search & Rescue UPDATE

424 Squadron had two taskings since our last report. Both the Griffon and Hercules were tasked to search for an overdue air- craft flying from Lindsay to Smiths Falls. Two aircraft departed Lindsay but when the second of the two arrived in Smiths Falls, the pilot realized that the other aircraft had not. 424 Squadron was tasked to search for the missing air- craft. The Hercules and Griffon both tracked the ELT and the Griffon locat- ed the crash site. The aircraft was located but the lone pilot on board did not survive. Both our crews remained on-scene until the crash site was handed over to OPP, and then returned to Trenton. Next tasking was for our Griffon crew. They were tasked to search for a missing 52-year- old female in the Arnprior, ON area. The Griffon searched the area as tasked until they had to refuel. At this time they were stood down and returned to base. Until next week, stay safe.

We are inspired by how much peo- ple are willing to work together in a spirit of compassion and unity. There should be news this week that strengthens the economy. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Right now, you are being asked to look at what truly motivates you. You want to figure out how you can channel your need to be you towards your worldly advantage. Examine what will inspire you most, and make an honest move in the direction that feels most inspired. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Resentments can act as poison to our own spirit, keeping the freedom of sanity at bay. Acceptance then is ultimately a selfish act. We do it to liberate ourselves. Release your expectations and embrace what is. This stance will return you to your power. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This time requires action in order for you to make progress. The little stuff of life will always be there, but right now, take a noteworthy shot at greatness. The bolder a move you make, the more likely you will love the outcome. You are shaping The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty your destiny. as the weekly sponsor of our feature, The Contact Comics. CANCER ( June 21-July 22): By examining the work of those critical to astrology, I grew to firmly hold my own position and career in support of it. You now have to face those who are critical of your faith. It is not per- sonal. Be open to a conversation that will make you stronger. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): An ad campaign for a sports- wear store features the words “move your body and the heart will follow.” There is antsy energy within you. Move and you will understand the root cause to what you really feel. It is really your heart asking for your conscious connection. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Aristophanes stated, “Human desire was originally one and we were whole, and the desire and the pursuit of the whole is called love.” You are willing to demonstrate your open heart. This will transform the way you understand love, mak- ing it a much more empowered experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is nothing ordinary about being consistent, if that means consistently taking responsibility for yourself and your ultimate happiness. Break down what you want to do into small workable steps. You will quickly see them add up towards a love- ly life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nietzsche stated, “The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the great- est enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!” However, it could be argued, that living dangerously is one way to ensure that you have less life to enjoy. DuJour Engage your need for fun with maturity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In our world of psychological theories and complex personal histories, the willingness to see our parents and our past with the most loving eyes is, for some, hard earned. You are reshaping history, and it will have the most positive effect on your future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is a balance between knowing that there is something special that you are here to do, and having the humility to acknowl- edge that we are all here to do something very special. Your life is giving you clues to both sides of this coin now. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): From ancient myths to contemporary folklore, we are inspired by tales of those who faced the great demon that everyone else was run- ning scared from, and did the seemingly impossible, overcame them. These stories speak to an inner journey you are on now. You will be victorious in your campaign. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad… You should do what I do! Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky!” Allow these words from Dr. Seuss to prompt a reminder. You are very lucky right now. Adjust your lens to tap into it.

Planning to get married? 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. . . 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? 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.
