Vol. 33 No. 28
Volunteers secret
to museum’s
success
Malcolm Uhlman,
Greenwood Military Aviation
Museum
June 20, at the VPI Building
adjacent to the Air Park,
the Greenwood Military Aviation
Museum held its annual
volunteer appreciation
luncheon. In attendance
were many of the 70 regular
museum volunteers and
representatives of several 14
Wing Greenwood sections.
Museum society president
Brian Handley spoke
about the successful year
the museum has had, and
the exciting events coming
up. He extended thanks,
on behalf of the society, to
various wing agencies which
provided great support to the
GMAM’s numerous projects
over the past year, most
notably Wing Construction
Engineering for its work
on the proposed extension
and help with the Dakota’s
concrete pads, and 14 Air
Maintenance Squadron for
work on the Argus and Dakota
painting. Handley also
made a special presentation
to Lieutenant-Colonel Steve
Chouinard of an engraved
Aurora desk pen set, in recognition
of his invaluable
support and cooperation
as museum co-chairman.
All wished Chouinard good
luck in his new posting to
Washington.
Society chairman Ian Patrick
thanked volunteers, and
reiterated their critical support
over the years as the
reason for the museum’s
success. He added his thanks
for the tremendous support
from the wing’s staff and
volunteers, and encouraged
young people to become and
remain volunteers. Without
the ongoing support from
so many areas, the museum
would not have the worldclass
exhibition it does.
Patrick also thanked those
who attended the funerals
of museum volunteers Ed
Dodd and Brian Troniak, and
reported on the hospitalization
of volunteer Harold Ruff.

Wing Commander Colonel Jim Irvine, centre, turned over a $90,000 cheque to community charities June 27,
representing a year’s worth of fundraising work by base personnel.

Charity cheque represents base,
community connection
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
One big cheque to “Our
community” represents
$90,000 worth of successful
fundraising by 14 Wing
Greenwood personnel.
Wing Commander Colonel
Jim Irvine announced the results
of the base’s Combined
Charities’ efforts from June 1,
2011 to the end of May this
spring June 26 at 14 Wing
headquarters, with Combined
Charities wing volunteers and
invited guests from recipient
charities on hand.
“14 Wing is extremely
proud to support the local
community,” Irvine said. “Our
people here – military and
civilian – are known for their
generosity, and we’re very
much engaged in the community.
Our families do a
lot to fundraise and organize
activities: we’re warm-hearted
people.”
The $90,000 represents,
Irvine said, “what we think we
raised:” for the first year, the
Combined Charities program
attempted to track all base
fundraising, from the smallest
endeavour in individual offices
and sections to the official,
committee-run events and
dress-down Fridays.
“We know people are collecting
pop bottles in their
offices – and that happens all
the time. We wanted to put a
finer point on just what this
military community does.”
Combined Charities will
now become known as Wing
Charities, still run by base-

Afghanistan
Repatriation
Memorial
underway
Ross Lees
The ground for the Aghanistan
Repatriation Memorial
was dedicated May 31 at Bain
Park, Trenton, and construction
began June 18 with a
sod-turning ceremony. The
memorial is scheduled for
completion before Remembrance
Day.
The Trenton city park is located
directly off the Highway
of Heroes, which leads from
Trenton to Toronto (Highway
401); it overlooks the Bay of
Quinte, not far from 8 Wing
Trenton.
The memorial “is meant to
be an area of reflection and for
people to pay their respects,”
said Quinte West Mayor John
Williams May 31.
The memorial, which will
cost approximately $1.2 million,
is a private initiative being
funded by private donations.

Charity cheque...
...cover
wide volunteers, but overseeing
all base fundraising projects.
The new structure has
already started 2012 off with
a bang: $22,000 was raised
in June by base teams for the
Middleton Relay for Life event.
Major Joe Fewer chairs the
Wing Charities committee,
and knows just how many
people and how much work
goes into the various fundraising
initiatives, big and small.
And, it never stops.
“People give - here on the
base and in the community,
and they get involved as volunteers,”
Fewer said.
On the very day of this
event, the Military Police were
hosting their own golf tournament
for the MP Blind Fund,
an event that wasn’t included
in the $90,000 total from last
year – but will be included in
the next cheque.
“We’re going to capture
what 14 Wing, it’s units and
people do,” Fewer said. “We
had an awesome year last
year, and we’ll hopefully raise
more money, and support
more partnerships, next year.”
Combined Charities has, in
the past, given funds to a wide
array of organizations, from
health research and support
programs to animal rescue
programs to sports and youth
organizations – and more.
Kings West MLA Leo
Glavine was at the June 27
event and said 14 Wing’s
efforts are “welcome – and
deeply appreciated.
“14 Wing is not just about
having its members live in our
neighbouring communities,
but vitally integrate themselves
into the community,”
he said. “Along with dollars, it
fosters a relationship because
its people are not just here
because of the base. They’re
valuable parts of the community.”

Chèque aux œuvres de bienfaisance : preuve
des liens qui unissent la base à la communauté
Sara Keddy
Rédactrice en chef
L’imposant chèque de
90 000 $ remis à « notre
communauté » est le résultat
de toutes les fructueuses collectes
de fonds effectuées par
le personnel de la 14 e Escadre
Greenwood.
Le 27 juin, au quartier général
de l’Escadre, le commandant
de cette dernière, le Colonel
Jim Irvine, a annoncé les
résultats des efforts déployés
par la base du 1 er juin 2011 à
la fin de mai 2012 au profit
des œuvres de bienfaisance
de l’Escadre, en présence
des bénévoles qui s’investissent
dans ces œuvres et
de représentants invités des
organismes bénéficiaires des
fonds recueillis.
« La 14 e Escadre est extrêmement
fière d’apporter
son appui à la communauté
locale », a déclaré le Colonel
Rick Snider
www.callExit.ca
Irvine. « Nos militaires et civils
sont connus pour leur générosité
et nous sommes très
investis dans la communauté.
Nos familles font beaucoup
pour organiser des activités
de collecte de fonds, car nous
sommes des gens de cœur. »,
a-t-il ajouté.
Ainsi que l’a expliqué le Colonel
Irvine, les 90 000 $ représentent
« ce que nous pensons
avoir recueilli » pour cette première
année; les responsables
du programme des œuvres
de bienfaisance ont tenté de
recenser toutes les activités
de collecte de fonds de la base,
depuis les plus petites tenues
ici et là dans des bureaux et
unités jusqu’aux plus officielles
gérées par des comités, en
passant par les vendredis en
tenue décontractée.
« Nous savons que dans des
bureaux des gens recueillent
les bouteilles de soda vides;

du chèque, la police militaire

Leo Slade of Dartmouth takes a turn as the Greenwood Amateur Radio Club takes to
the air.
S.Keddy
Radios ready for
worldwide fun, work
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
The radio sets, receivers,
antennae and wires….
“Young people look at it – are
we old?” asks HAM radio enthusiast
Brian DeAthe.
“Not really!”
Members of the Greenwood
Amateur Radio Club set up shop
in the CANEX Mall for a 24-hour
international competition June
23 and 24. The goal: prove they
can operate a state-of-the-art,
reliable and effective communications
hub, and then make
as many contacts as possible in
24 hours.
Thousands of HAM radio
operators across North America
take part in the Amateur Radio
Relay League’s field day. Clubs
earn points for the number of
contacts they make, and whether
they can attract visitors, media
and politicians to watch them
in action.
“We had a contact in Croatia
early on,” club president Eric
Smith said about three hours in
to the challenge – as wives were
arriving with covered potluck
dishes to stoke the operators for
the evening ahead.
Smith has been a amateur
radio enthusiast for 30 years.
“I just like to talk – and we talk
around the world,” Smith says.
“My old boss here at the base
was an amateur radio guy, and
they had a radio up in the old
tower at Hangar 1.”
In fact, likely three-quarters
of the Greenwood club is exmilitary
or a former Greenwood
civilian worker. There are about
20 members, from Aylesford to
Middleton, and they meet every
week for club business and
radio time.
But it’s not all talk. The club
is actually an important link in
Kings and Annapolis counties’
emergency planning. With a
repeater on the North Mountain
and experienced operators, the
club could have the final word
in any emergency communications.
“When a system shuts down
with overload, or power failures,”
we could set up at a
hospital, the main emergency
centre, here at the base – and
our radios work,” Smith says.
Small grants have allowed
the club to upgrade equipment
and buy a generator, ensuring
they can be invaluable during a
disaster, weather emergency or
other major incident. Volunteers
meet regularly with emergency
planners and test equipment and
procedures.
Hard to believe computers,
cellphones and landlines could
all be that unavailable – but radio
operators have seen it happen,
and already know where they
technology for many communications
systems came from:
HAM radios.
“In the good old days,” DeAthe
begins, “people couldn’t find
each other on the frequencies.
They’d just dial until they did.
Someone thought they’d play
music for a bit before their message
so people could find them.
Brian DeAthe
S.Keddy
Then, music and advertising and
commercial radio started.”
Email? Using satellites,
“moon bounce” and the international
space station, radio
operators have been able to send
digital messages for years.
Skype? You can scan a picture
and send it through radio
waves to be downloaded anywhere
in the world through slow
scan TV.
Text messaging? There are
people chatting internationally
using radio-based digital
signals.
“If conditions are right, you
can reach anywhere in the
world,” Smith says.

Blood collection connection
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
Canadian Forces personnel
“do more than their share” for
Canada, and Canadian Blood
Services knows it.
14 Wing Greenwood was
recently acknowledged as
a distinguished Partner for
Life by CBS, in recognition
of several years’ worth of
rolling up its sleeve. Partner
for Life allows groups and
organizations to register blood
donors en masse, and track
regular donations as a point
of pride. 14 Wing has over 40
registered members, who have
made close to 250 donations
since 2010.
“That’s great,” says Paul
Doucette of CBS in Halifax.
“Partners for Life is now responsible
for one in five donations
across the country, and
it’s become a real team building
initiative for members.
“That spirit of camaraderie
and helping others Canadian
Forces’ members have, that’s
exactly why we do so well in
Greenwood.”
Community recreation
worker Eric MacKenzie attended
a May recognition
event in Greenwich, hosted
by CBS to recognize significant
milestone donations by
individuals and groups. MacKenzie
organizes the four collection
clinics in Greenwood and
Kingston, putting work parties
together through 14 Wing
sections to help CBS load and
unload equipment during their
two-day visits, and encouraging
donors to turn out.
“We’re always looking for
people, and we generally see
about 200 every time,” he says.
At the recognition event, he
acknowledged his own efforts
have earned a 10-donation
pin – and counting.
“I rolled up my sleeves for
the first time in Grade 12 as
a thank-you to the gracious
donors who helped save both
my life, and my mother’s life,
when I was born three months
early,” he said.
Doucette says the Partner
for Life program has been a
huge success for CBS, with
registered donors part of a
regular, 56 or 112 day donation
schedule.
“It’s free, it’s an experience
and, if you’ve done it more
than two or three times, you’ve
talked to the nurses, you know
your donation goes to hospitals.
Once you know all that,
you know and can’t drive by.
“Everyone wins.”
the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS
“Work party requests are approved by our chain of
command because of the vital importance and value of
supporting this worthy cause,” Eric MacKenzie says of
14 Wing Greenwood’s participation in Canadian Blood
Services’ clinics.

404 Squadron instructor logs 6,000 flight hours
Captain Rob Scholte, an
acoustic sensor officer instructor
at 404 (Long Range Patrol
and Training) Squadron, recently
reached a significant
personal milestone.
On a routine “day at the office,”
Scholte found himself
flying low over the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean onboard the CP-
140 Aurora, conducting training
with his colleagues. The day
marked Scholte’s 6,000th hour
of flying onboard the Aurora.
Scholte’s path to 6,000 hours
has been interesting and diverse.
He initially joined the Canadian
Forces as a Non-Commissioned
Member (NCM) under the Youth
Training Employment Program.
Upon completion of Recruit
School at CFB Cornwallis, he underwent
his QL 3 Weapon Tech
Air training at CFB Borden. He
then transferred to air defense
technician and was employed
with NORAD at long range radar
sites across the now defunct Pinetree
Line, from 1985 to 1988.
In 1988, Scholte remustered
to airborne electronic sensor
operator (AESOp), and his flying
career began. Scholte underwent
basic aircrew training at
CFB Summerside, then completed
the CP-140 Aurora maritime
operational aircrew training at
404 Squadron and attained his
AESOp wings. Upon graduation,
he was posted to 407 Squadron
at 19 Wing Comox. During this
time he participated in Operation
Sharpguard, established to
enforce economic sanctions
against Serbia-Monenegro and
to enforce the UN sanctions
in the former Yugoslavia. In
1997, he was posted to 405
Squadron, which provided him
the opportunity to participate
in three Fincastle competitions
and numerous major exercises.
In 2001, while participating in
the Fincastle Competition in
Australia, he became one of
only 40 individuals in the history
of Canadian Maritime Patrol to
circumnavigate the world in a
maritime-based aircraft.
In 2001, Scholte was selected
for the Commissioning from the
Ranks Program for an occupational
transfer to navigator (now
known as air combat systems
officer). He successfully completed
the Basic Officer Training
Program at St-Jean, Quebec
and occupation training at Canadian
Forces Air Navigation
School (now 1 Canadian Forces
Flying Training School) at 17
Wing Winnipeg. In December
2004, Scholte was presented his
navigator wings and returned to
405 Squadron. He completed
another Maritime Operational
Aircrew Training (MOAT) course
at 404 Squadron as an acoustics
sensor officer.
In 2009, Scholte was deployed
to South-West Asia
with the Air Mapping Unit to
participate in Op Applanix. This
operation, comprised of Long
Range Patrol aircrew and technicians
from 14 Wing and 19
Wing, were tasked to provide
high quality images using a
state-of-the-art Applanix camera,
fitted to the CP-140 Aurora.
These images, providing updated
geographical and structural
information, were used
by ground force commanders
in Afghanistan. In 2011,he deployed
to NAS Sigonella, Italy
to take part in Op Mobile, the
Canadian Forces’ participation
in Op UNIFIED PROTECTOR, the
NATO-led effort to impose an
arms embargo and no-fly zone
to protect civilians and civilianpopulated
areas in Libya.
Upon returning to Greenwood,
he was posted to 404
(Long Range Patrol & Training)
Squadron as an instructor. He
now provides instruction for the
Maritime Operational Aircrew
Training course and is able to
pass his experience on to new
acoustic sensor officers.
With airframe upgrades and
other changes within the Long
Range Patrol community, 6,000
hours is rarely achieved.
Captain Rob Scholte, an acoustic sensor officer at 404
(Long Range Patrol & Training) Squadron, has recently
logged 6,000 hours onboard the CP140 Aurora.

here having a great time,
they’ll come home and what
they’ve learned will spill
over with their units, their
schools and communities.”
Cadets ages 12 to 18 are
part of a national program,
sponsored by the Canadian
Forces and three civilian
leagues representing the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
Youth are provided uniforms,
training opportunities
and athletic and social
events, including summer
training camp.
Brannen says the twoweek
general training camps
– there are five flights
planned in Greenwood this
summer – offer a broad
introduction to the Cadet
program. About 300 youth
will take part. There are
also specialized programs
in drill, military band, wilderness
training, flying and
gliding as well. Some camps
last as long as six weeks.
“When you think of weeks
of basic drill, well, those
kids know they’re coming to
work hard, there is a lot of
self-discipline and challenge
for themselves to see how
far they can go.”
Cadets will likely see
physical training every day,
and there are early mornings,
busy schedules and
military expectations to live
up to. Once the day is done,
though, kids will be kids.
“The social component of
camp, I think, is the most
important – meeting people,
learning along the way.
There is lots of time for recreational
activities, sports,
meeting with friends,” says
Brannen – and the kids’
cellphones and electronic
gadgets can come back out.
“Our audience are the
youth, and we have to be on
the cutting edge to maintain
a connection with the kids,”
Brannen says. The Cadets
organization puts a lot of
GREG KERR
MP—WEST NOVA
DÉPUTÉ—NOVA-OUEST
the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS
time and effort into keeping
current, with lots of info and
photos spread around Facebook,
Twitter and Youtube.
With this many youth
expected on base, the STC
has a lot to be ready for:
quarters, clothing and laundry,
meals, transportation,
schedules, gym time….
“It’s a busy turnover, and
definitely a challenge. But,
everyone is where they need
to be – we tip our hats to
the logistics and supply
people.”
Brannen says there is also
great appreciation to 14
Wing Greenwood itself, as
all of this takes place in and
around base facilities and
operations.
“We couldn’t do camp
here on our own. We have
the security of knowing
we’re on a base with Military
Police, fire services, a Mess
and the gym…. There are a
lot of players to make sure
everything happens.
“We recognize we’re on a
Canadian Forces base with
personnel who have served
all over the world.”
When the Cadets hit the
streets for summer car
washes and other fundraisers,
their goal is to turn
money into thanks for those
personnel: last year, dozens
of boxes of goodies were
put together for deployed
CF members by the end of
the summer.
There are the “typical”
issues at camp expected
with youth, but Brannen
says clear perimeters and
expectations ensure Cadets
are safe, and present themselves
well on base and in
the community on out trips.
When issues do come up,
it’s often a chance for the
camp’s staff Cadets to learn
their own lessons.
“Some of these people
have been here for years,
and handling the program
and the youth instills in them
a sense of pride and confidence
to lead. Problems
are an opportunity for our
staff Cadets to show some
leadership and work on their
approach. We support and
guide them, and they don’t
usually disappoint.”

Red and white, golfing
all over Canada
Wendy Richardson
July 1, 45 people participated
in the Canada Day mixed
scramble at the Greenwood
Golf Club.
Players were all put on “provincial”
teams and there was
one special team of “Capers.”
It was interesting to see how
many players came out with
costumes, including provincial
flags and T-shirts, to indicate
who they were representing.
The team from Newfoundland
was playing Newfie music, one
Caper was wearing a kilt, Jen
Poirier had a buffalo sewn on
her shirt and flags were flying
everywhere. It was a great day
for everyone.
Players started off with
breakfast at the club, then the
golf and, when all the golfers
were back in, we had strawberries
and ice cream and Canada
Day cake (Glen and Annie Paul
were celebrating their 23rd
anniversary as well, so there
was a second special cake).
Doug Carpenter explained to
all present the significance of
the national flag hanging on the
wall: it was given to Phil Allen
by his son-in-law, one of the
flags once raised and lowered
in Afghanistan for our fallen soldiers.
We all joined in singing
O Canada. How privileged we
are to live in this great country.
The winning team was Saskatchewan
- Betty and Dean
Saltzman, Paul McKeigan and
Gail Croucher. Tied for second
were British Columbia - Gerry
McGarry, Wanda Moyer, Mike
Logan and Dave Adams - and
New Brunswick - Doug Carpenter,
Frank Croucher, Irma Rains
and Steve Greenwood. The
most honest score keepers was
Prince Edward Island - Sheila
Johnson, Charlie and Audrey
Costin and Phil Allen.
The best costume was won
by Jen Poirier (and her mom,
who cut out the shape of a buffalo
and sewed it on a T-shirt).
A great idea and great spirit.
It was fun to have a couple
of our junior men out with us

sudoku
Fun By The Numbers
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,
broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can
appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out
the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name,
the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Ahoy mates,

horoscopes
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, the week may begin a little
off-kilter, but you’ll find that by
Wednesday or Thursday, things turn
around significantly. A couple of
opportunities for socialization arise.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Take inventory of your life this week,
Taurus, and make the necessary
tweaks to align you with your primary
goals. Take a cue from someone
organized.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, you’re inspired to do
something creative. Narrow down
the possibilities. Maybe you want to
paint indoors or take on a new craft
hobby. Either way you’ll find success.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Even the most organized people can
get tripped up once in a while, Cancer.
This week you may be unable to keep
track of things. Keep your cool, and
you will get it under control.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Take control of a situation that arises,
Leo, because right now it seems no
one else is capable of handling the
situation. You may prove to be an
excellent leader.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Influential people will be moving in your
social circles, Virgo. Failure to introduce
yourself and network could lead to
setbacks in your employment goals.

July 8 - July 14
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Once the excitement of an event
wears off, Libra, you may be left
floundering for a little while. Don’t
wallow in boredom. Get started on a
new project.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Sometimes much more can be said by
remaining quiet that actually speaking,
Scorpio. Keep this in mind when you
are socializing with new people.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
It can sometimes feel lonely at the top,
Sagittarius. Now that you’ve acquired
many of the things you wanted, the
resulting feelings may not be what
you thought.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Now may be the time to get serious
about your efforts to find a new job,
Capricorn. Start doing the legwork
and get your name out to new people
as much as you can.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Although you’re a do-it-yourself
person by nature, Aquarius,
sometimes letting someone get
the job done frees you up for more
important projects. You also get a
needed break.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, you can’t seem to keep your
mind on the thing at hand. Your
wandering thoughts may put you in
tune with a better idea.

RCMP Constable Robert Archibald made a special visit to the Greenwood Scotiabank recently, picking up a cheque
for $1,000 in support of the Bridgetown detachment’s Kids ‘n Cops program. The RCMP members partner with
local kids in Grade 7, building relationships that strengthen the community and build confidence in the youth to
become part of the community. Bank staffer Angela Taylor volunteers with the program, and recommended the
bank’s charitable support.

Sporty, cookin’ kids
get day camps off to
a great start
The 14 Wing Greenwood
Community Centre’s day camp
programs started off summer
July 3.
Day campers headed out for
a trip to Sobeys for a tour of the
store, snacked on some healthy
food and even got to pet a monster-sized
lobster. Later in the
week, campers made jewelry and
pictures out of noodles, and put
their chef skills to the test when
they made their own yummy
pizzas and ice cream treats. Each
day we cooled off with a visit to
the outdoor pool. This week,
day campers will be making sea
themed crafts and venturing to
Pirates Cove in Dartmouth!
Cette semaine a été un
grand succès!
Durant la première journée,
les enfants ont eu le plaisir
de faire des bricolages, visiter
le nouveau parc dans le
matin et ensuite aller nager
dans la piscine extérieure.
Les campeurs ont rencontré
beaucoup de nouveaux amis
au camp français, camp de
jour et camp de sports. Durant
Sports camp youth started
summer with a focus on soccer,
practicing their skills and
learning some new ones. We
had a few games of World Cup,
and a shoot-out. We finished
up the week with a tournament
and saw lots of great goals and
saves. We got to take advantage
of the sun and tried out the
new playground, and campers
cooled off in the pool each day
and freezies. Sports campers,
dust off your hockey sticks: this
week is hockey, with a day of
lacrosse added in. Don’t forget
about the big trip to Pirates Cove
in Dartmouth Friday with the day
campers.
Semaine une du camp
d’été français!
les autres jours de la semaine,
ils ont fabriqué leur propre
pizza miniature, de la mousse
au chocolat avec des fraises
et ils ont reçu le grand tour
de Sobeys.
Tout le monde s’est amusé
cette semaine et ont hâte
pour la deuxième semaine:
« Des aventures de pirates!
» Alors soyez prêts pour de
l’amusement et de l’aventure.

himself – Floyd Spicer were
in Greenwood recently to
check the facility and set some
plans in place for the dinner
and show that make up the
induction.
On the 2012 induction roster
are some pretty well-known
Nova Scotia names. Top of
the list is Anne Murray, who
started her career at a young
age on Nova Scotia classic
country stages, including the
Sing Along Jubilee.
“She never considered herself
a country singer – she was
a singer, but she did have a few
country albums,” Spicer says.
Surprisingly, Murray has
not yet been inducted into the
hall of fame, something not so
surprising when you consider
all the nominations are submitted
by the public, and who
would not have thought she’d
been long recognized.
“She won’t be here for the
ceremony, but she knows
and she’s pleased to be nominated.”
Bill Hewy of Truro is a semiprofessional
vocalist who
picked up his first guitar at age
eight and has since been a part
of many shows, recordings
and musical milestones in the
province.
Paul Moulaison is a Yarmouth-area
instrumentalist,
a guitar player known across
Nova Scotia.
Jo-Ann Newman will be
an honourary inductee: she
the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS
wasn’t born in Nova Scotia, but
she has lived and performed
here all her life. She’s also a
member of the hall of fame
board – and Spicer’s wife.
“She was nominated – and
it’s deserved,” Spicer says.
“She and her sister recorded
back in 1974 and did very well
with their album, and spent a
year at the Grand Ole Opry.”
Inductees have the opportunity
to speak at the ceremony,
but the likely 300-plus crowd
is looking forward more to a
half-hour performance each
has been invited to present.
“We’re trying to honour
those who have helped keep
country music alive and going
in Nova Scotia,” Spicer says. “I
grew up on it, and Nova Scotia
has really been, artistically,
prolific.”
