As Ihand over to VAdm McFadden, a fixon the chart allows me to assess thatwe’re making way in some importantareas, while working hard toget underway in several others.”Specifi<strong>ca</strong>lly, he mentioned contractsfor the modernization of theHalifax-class frigates and the periodicrefits of Victoria-class submarines.“These contracts provide,quite literally, the bridge to futurefleet effectiveness for governmentsfor years to come.”VAdm Robertson is confidentthat he is passing the Navy’s futureinto <strong>ca</strong>pable hands. “I could not bemore confident in the leadership ofour service or its contribution to theCF as [VAdm McFadden] worksalongside our colleagues GeneralsAndy Leslie and Angus Watt.

Andrew hadteamed up with seven peoplefrom a Christian organization<strong>ca</strong>lled the Navigators in orderto organize a mission trip toTabiro Village in Uganda.His plan was to help build adorm at an orphanage forboys who have lost their parentsto HIV/AIDS, but helearned that he would takeaway much more from theexperience than he originallyanticipated.Andrew’s first day in thevillage was May 17. He wokeup that morning and ate whatwould be his daily breakfastfor the next three weeks. Itincluded fried eggs, potatoesand an enormous amount offresh fruit. He then joined theNavigators to start buildingthe boys’ dorm.Andrew worked on thisproject for the first week hewas in Tabiro Village. Hestated “It’s not like building ahouse in Canada. Where wewere working they didn’thave backhoes and powertools, we had to use picks andwhat little tools they hadavailable. It was physi<strong>ca</strong>llyexhausting but so worth itwhen you consider the boyshave been sleeping on theclassroom floors.”After one week of workingon the boys’ dorm, Andrewfinished all the work he coulddo for this specific project.His next task was to setup a basketball net for thechildren at the orphanage.This task usually would takeAndrew no longer than afew hours in Canada, but inUganda it took him threedays. They did not have moneyto buy a pole for the basketballnet so he had to cutdown a mango tree, limb itand then sculpt it to use as apole.

8TRIDENT, JULY <strong>13</strong>, <strong>2009</strong>DND’s diesel vehicles now use biodieselBy MWO J. JohnsonFlog TEME Fleet ManagerThe federal government, particularlythe Department of NationalDefence, has consistently soughtopportunities to use alternate fuelsas a way of cutting greenhouse gasemissions. That being said, as ofMay <strong>13</strong>, <strong>2009</strong>, all diesel-poweredDND vehicles filling up at the fuelpumps in Willow Park have beenusing five per cent biodiesel.Biodiesel is the name of a cleanburning methanol or ethanol fuelmade from vegetable or animal fatsthat <strong>ca</strong>n be blended with petroleumbased diesel and <strong>ca</strong>n be used indiesel engines without modifi<strong>ca</strong>tion.Biodiesel is biodegradable,nontoxic, and essentially free ofsulphur and aromatics.The five per cent blend of the fishoil-based biodiesel being used inWillow Park is particularly positivefor the environment. The bio-contentof other biodiesels is normallyderived from <strong>ca</strong>nola, soya and flax.The farming of these crops displacesother food crops and requiresthe consumption of petroleumbasedenergy, fertilizers and otherchemi<strong>ca</strong>ls. The fish oil-based bioharnesses the energy of the waste,which is left over after the omega 3-6-9 fatty acids are processed fromthe fish product.Our diesel fleet, which includeslight commercial vehicles, buses,and other vehicles, will displaystickers on the rear of the vehiclesidentifying that biodiesel is beingused, and promoting CFB Halifax’sattempts at substantially reducingharmful greenhouse gas emissions.A one-year trial period of 20 percent biodiesel will start later thissummer on a select group of DNDvehicles. This trial will determine ifthis amount of bio-content is feasiblefor our use in the future.DND’s diesel fleet will display stickers identifying them as using biodiesel.Canadian Forces Halifax Rock Fest looks for volunteersBy Virginia Beaton<strong>Trident</strong> staffDo you enjoy rock music?

TRIDENT, JULY <strong>13</strong>, <strong>2009</strong> 9Salty commissionaire isn’t ready to swallow the anchorBy Acting SLt CarliRachel SussmanHMCS DiscoverySwallow the anchor, to: an oldnaval expression meaning toretire from sea life.It was well after midnight whenI pulled up to the blue ceremonialgates marking the entrance toHer HMCS Discovery, Vancouver’sNaval Reserve Division in StanleyPark.Commissionaire Bruce Menzieswas dutifully working the middlewatch, and I had been looking forwardto conducting this interviewall week.“It’s my girlfriend!” exclaimed 84-year-old Bruce, his eyes lighting upand a grin spreading across his face.“I’ve been waiting for you.” Such istypi<strong>ca</strong>l of Bruce’s famously exuberantand genial greetings that bringsmiles to the faces of every personwho passes through the gates.Bruce joined the Corps of Commissionairesin 1990 and was workingfull time at the Vancouver Airportwhen somebody asked him if hewould like to cover a weekend shiftat Discovery. When he arrived, hefelt as if he’d finally come back hometo his naval family. A weekendturned into a week, then a month,then a permanent job. To this day,Bruce still “<strong>ca</strong>n’t wait to come intowork every day,” and says emphati<strong>ca</strong>llythat Discovery “is absolutelythe best place in Vancouver.”Born in Montreal in 1925, Brucejoined the Royal Canadian NavalVolunteer Reserve (RCNVR) at theage of 17. He re<strong>ca</strong>lls that he earneda monthly salary of $35, a far cryfrom today’s rates of pay. Like manyothers who joined during that era,Bruce lied about his age in order tomeet the minimum recruiting age of18. Upon release, he used his militarypapers to apply for a driver’slicense, and even today his fabri<strong>ca</strong>tedbirth year remains on all of hisgovernment-issued identifi<strong>ca</strong>tion.Written works abound aboutBruce’s time in HMCS Waskesiu duringSecond World War. In 2008, R.L.Duane Duff wrote the book Waskesiu:Canada’s First Frigate, a collectionof experiences and memoriesfrom the 12 known surviving crewmembers of the Waskesiu. ButBruce’s contributions to the CanadianNavy extend many years beyondhis wartime service. During his 17years at Discovery’s main gate, heBruce Menzies proudly stands at the gate to HMCS Discovery, where hehas worked as a commissionaire for more than 17 years.has regaled passing tourists, dignitaries,military members, and civilianvisitors alike with his stories,jokes, songs and dances. Many aprospective recruit has been seducedfrom the Stanley Park sea wall byBruce’s smiles and encouragingwords. It has been said that Bruce isthe face of Discovery.Discovery is incredibly fortunateto have a living testament to Canada’snaval history. As fewer andfewer Second World War veteransremain to pass their stories on to thenext generation, it is a privilege to beable to spend a few moments—orsometimes a few hours—in Bruce’scompany, and to hear the fascinatingtales from a period that covered boththe infancy and coming-of-age of theCanadian Navy.Recognizing Bruce’s valued serviceto Canada and to Discovery, theunit’s junior ranks dedi<strong>ca</strong>ted an areaof the Seamans’Mess, Veterans’Corner,in a November 11, 2002 ceremonyattended by then LieutenantGovernor of British Columbia, TheMS JASON ELDRIDGE, HMCS DISCOVERYHonourable Iona Campagnolo. Thecorner contains a collection of cherishedWaskesiu memorabilia donatedby Bruce to the members of the mess.When queried, Bruce declared thathis favourite part of the job has beenwatching all the young <strong>ca</strong>dets andReservists growing up over theyears. He fondly re<strong>ca</strong>lls the advice hegave to one youngster whom he’sknown since the boy was only 14.“You join the Navy when you’re oldenough, and you’ll be Admiral someday,” he said. Several years later, thisformer <strong>ca</strong>det later be<strong>ca</strong>me the unit’syoungest lieutenant. Another former<strong>ca</strong>det recently be<strong>ca</strong>me Discovery’sexecutive officer, and yet another is apast commanding officer of the unit.More than an hour later, aftermany salty dips and good laughs, Ibid my goodbyes to Bruce and headedback to my <strong>ca</strong>r. Not to be outdoneby his <strong>ca</strong>mpy greeting, he began tosing, quietly at first, “I <strong>ca</strong>n’t give youanything but love, baby. That’s theonly thing I’ve plenty of, baby...”whilst doing a little shuffle in frontof the guard shack. Doubled overwith laughter, I thought about howtruly honoured we are to have thisremarkable veteran standing watchon our ship.

First WO Kimbers,and then MCpl Caroncompleted the dog handlers’selection course and the 16-week general service courseand the narcotics detectioncourse with the OntarioProvincial Police (OPP). WOKimbers was certified inDecember 2006 and MCplCaron in <strong>July</strong> 2008.It’s essential that the dogand handler are well suited toeach other, according to WOKimbers. With the OPP’sselection process, he noted,“They try to match the dog toWO Kimbers and his dog Lahr, joined by MCpl Caron and his dog Vimy, provide an added dimension to the Military Policedetachment in Halifaxthe personality of the handler.We spend a lot of timewith the dogs, sometimesmore than we do with ourfamilies, so they have to becompatible with us.” Thedogs live in kennels at theirhandlers’ houses.The teams perform a varietyof tasks “ranging from thetracking of suspects to checkingout break and enters,” statedWO Kimbers. “We alsoassist with the CF’s drug deterrenceprogram, where we conductwalkthroughs of areaswithin DND establishments, inthe attempt to reduce any illicitdrug activity.”The presence of the dogshas been a deterrent to illegaldrug use, said WO Kimbers.“Be<strong>ca</strong>use people know wehave dogs that <strong>ca</strong>n detect theodour of illicit drugs, itreduces the likelihood of thatactivity.”WO Kimbers stated that theimpact of the dogs on the job“has been greater than weexpected... The dogs are amultiplier.” For example, ifthe MPs must search a woodedarea for a missing child,“We <strong>ca</strong>n finish that with moreefficiency and effect, and witha drastic amount of timesaved.” The dogs also are veryuseful in tracking possiblecriminal suspects, accordingto WO Kimbers. “We <strong>ca</strong>n’tfollow the scent but the dogs<strong>ca</strong>n, so they have added asecurity and a policing aspectto this guardhouse.”MCpl Caron re<strong>ca</strong>lled thaton his first day on the jobwith Vimy, there was a chaseof an impaired driver thatstarted in Sackville with thePAULA TEMPELAARS, TRIDENT STAFFRCMP before progressing toHalifax and HRM police “andending up in our jurisdiction.”The driver left his vehicleand headed on foot into awooded area and hours later,the MPs and the dog trackedthe man into a building andlo<strong>ca</strong>ted him.“We spend a lotof time with thedogs, sometimesmore than we dowith our families,so they have tobe compatiblewith us.”“When the environment isright and the elements are onyour side, you <strong>ca</strong>n track thescent for a long period oftime.” Even if there is a gap ofseveral hours, “The dog <strong>ca</strong>nstill grab that scent.

Henoted that currently the base has 3800 parkingspots, 1440 of them reserved spots. However,not all the reserved places are always in use,which is a source of discontent to the generalparking population. Lt(N) De Marco stated theplan is to decrease the number of reservedspots and to increase general parking.In June 2010, the non-industrial part of thesouth Dockyard will be converted to a fishbonedesign with one-way traffic. “We’rehoping to get an extra 350 parking spots justin that one area,” stated Lt(N) De Marco.Also in 2010, the gravel pit near the centregate is scheduled to be paved and lined“and that’s going to open another 175 spots.”Other innovations include lowering eligibilityfor Dockyard parking from 15 to <strong>13</strong>years, stated Lt(N) De Marco.At Windsor Park, there are plans to redevelopthe helo pad and he noted “That’sgoing to open up 300 parking spots.”Accessible parking also is an issue, he stated.“We are mandated to have one of thosespots for every 25 regular spots... We’re workingat this be<strong>ca</strong>use we have personnel withmobility issues, and this is something wherewe would like to meet or exceed the requirementfor parking for people with disabilities.”Several other options for commuters are inthe works, including an increase in <strong>ca</strong>rpool<strong>ca</strong>r passes from 50 to 150. “That would bethree people in the <strong>ca</strong>r, you qualify for a pass.”On September 1, <strong>2009</strong>, there will be a pilotprogram from HRM <strong>ca</strong>lled Guaranteed RideHome. For registered <strong>ca</strong>rpoolers whosedrive home is unavailable on a specific oc<strong>ca</strong>sion,“HRM will pay for a bus or a <strong>ca</strong>b or renta <strong>ca</strong>r for that person to get home.” The transportationmethod will depend on the lo<strong>ca</strong>tionof the person’s home, Lt(N) De Marco stated.There also are hopes to reinstate the blueboat as an option.“Three people in the <strong>ca</strong>r,you qualify for a pass.”It’s criti<strong>ca</strong>l for people to understand thatthey need to view parking at the Formationlevel, Lt(N) De Marco observed. While somepeople have suggested a base parking garageas a solution, “We <strong>ca</strong>n’t do that be<strong>ca</strong>use ofTreasury Board regulations.”Over the next year, the hope is to increasethe base parking spots from 3800 to 4800and Lt(N) De Marco emphasized “We’ll doas much as we <strong>ca</strong>n to improve the quality oflife here.”Welcome home toCAP REITApartment RentalsBaidu TCM Clinic20-80 Charlotte Lane(Ocean Brook Park)Welcoming and spacious, 1, 2and 3 bedrooms available withmagnificent Bedford Basin views!Across from Fishermen’s Market,close to Bayers Lake and just offthe Bedford Highway.

18BENJAMIN DELONG, TRIDENT STAFFTRIDENT, JULY <strong>13</strong>, <strong>2009</strong>In thebeginningCecil Eisnor, Crew Chief (ret’d 1976), stands next to a fire pole during a visit to CFB Halifax. Eisnor and family took a tour ofthe William James Fitzpatrick building, which has been home to Fire Services for 23 years.Firefighting legendre-visits CFB HalifaxBy Benjamin J. DeLong<strong>Trident</strong> StaffHe was among the first civilian firefightersfor CFB Halifax. In 1976,Cecil Eisnor retired from his work asCrew Chief at CFB Halifax Fire Hall. OnJune 26, <strong>2009</strong>, 33 years after his retirement,Eisnor returned to the Fire Hall fora visit.“The Fire Department has changedquite a bit since he left,” said ColinMacGillivray, Fire/Life Safety Inspector.MacGillivray conducted the tour for Eisnor,who visited with his son, Eugene,and his grand daughter, Valarie. This washis first time Eisnor had seen the WilliamJames Fitzpatrick building, which wasbuilt September 23rd, 1987, to replace theoriginal Fire Hall, which was demolishedin 1988.The tour of the building was arrangedfor Eisnor after he donated a piece of artto the Fire Hall in January. The art workwas a histori<strong>ca</strong>l piece depicting a boldfirefighter with flames sweeping towardhim atop of St. George’s Round Church,Halifax, which burned down in 1995, andhas been restored since.“It’s a good job,” said Don Howard,CFB Halifax Fire Chief, describing firefightingas a <strong>ca</strong>reer. Coincidentally,Howard started the year Eisnor left. “It’sreally good to meet Cecil again. I’m gladhe took the time to come in and have atalk with me.” Howard and Eisnor satdown and talked about mutual friendsand CFB Halifax firefighters of the past.Eisnor was in the Navy until 1946, theyear that Fire Services switched to civilianhands. He was one of the first to signup. After 31 years of service, not includingfive years in the Navy, Eisnor retired,unable to <strong>ca</strong>rry out his job due to backproblems. His memory lives on in theFire Hall’s memorabilia <strong>ca</strong>se which featuresawards, pictures, and names of previousfirefighters. Apicture of Eisnor presentingthe Fire Hall with the St. George’sRound Church painting is displayedprominently on the top shelf.Padre’s CornerBy Padre Lt(N)Leonard BednarFMF Cape ScottAnniversary events giveus an opportunity topause for a number of things.To celebrate where we are, toremember from where wehave come, to reflect on ourbeginnings and to gain perspectivefrom the past onlooking to the future. I wouldsuggest that at the heart ofany anniversary celebrationis relationship. So what kindof relationships are we invitedto celebrate and uphold inthe 250th anniversary of theDockyard? As Padre, I <strong>ca</strong>nfind a Bible story for anytheme, but our beginnings asa Dockyard community (or acommunity with a dockyard)has remarkable similarities tothe beginnings story of boththe Jewish Scriptures and theChristian. In the beginning, arepresentative of the communitytraveled over water,facing a tempest of stormsand an uncertain horizon.Over time, land separatedfrom the water, itself a <strong>ca</strong>usefor celebration. And as it<strong>ca</strong>me into view, it harbouredteams of living things, fishfrom the sea, birds of the air,vegetation of every kind.And there were people. Butit was not good for them tobe alone. By coming together,they could embrace thepossibility of fruitfulness.And on those shores, find restand refreshment.But there was also miscommuni<strong>ca</strong>tion,broken promisesand brokenness. What couldhave been, was forever lost.Yet what remained alsonow held healing, reconciliation,transformation, innovation,confrontation, learning,yearning, hoping, finding,building, teaching, sharing,<strong>ca</strong>ring and stewardship. Along time has passed since thebeginnings of the Dockyard.Yet held here is the infrastructureof relation-ships. To havea dockyard is to send forth,and to welcome ; to give, andto receive. It is not easy toforge new relationships, andwe have not always done agreat job of it. Yet we areable if we want to be. Thereare relationships that each ofus have as individuals thatcould use the tools availableto us for building, repair andmaintenance, as well as storingup and delivering. Andthere are relationships asgroups or communities thatover time need to be attentiveto building, repairing, maintaining,storing and makingfruitful deliveries. This yearas we pause for celebration,take time to attend to yourown relationships, and to takepart in the group events thatseek to improve our lives incommunity.IRP REGISTEREDPOSTED?WE CAN HELP!Call:Chris Young877-0945Susan Young830-7865Understanding the needs of ourMilitary Clients is our top priority!Whether you are buying or selling a home, <strong>ca</strong>llChris or Susan to help you make the right move.Helping you make your next EXIT!Mike Savage, M.P.Dartmouth-Cole HarbourCritic forHuman Resources andSkills Development.Constituency Office:300 Prince Albert Rd, Suite 106, Dartmouth, NS B2Y 4J2Phone: 462-6453 Fax: 462-6493Email: msavage@ns.aliantzinc.<strong>ca</strong> Web: www.mikesavage.<strong>ca</strong>Being relo<strong>ca</strong>ted?

At first aplayer, Adams later be<strong>ca</strong>me a coachfor the NCMs’ team, known as theSlackers, and Adams’ brother John(Bubby) Adams stated that ClintAdams was the first Afri<strong>ca</strong>n Canadianto coach a Navy sports team.Though Clint Adams died in2004, his legacy continues and theSlackers team members, coachesand supporters still re<strong>ca</strong>ll his lengthycontribution to the Mini Grey Cup.A plaque in the Fleet Club commemoratesClint Adams.Dave Howe, a civilian and formerfullback, has been coaching theSlackers for nearly 25 years. “ClintAdams invited me here and I’vebeen with the team ever since,”stated Howe. Together with JoeyTynes, the two men, plus Adams,were for many years the drivingforce behind the Slackers. The teamand the coaches took their preparationsseriously, starting in earlySeptember and meeting twice aweek for practices.“We have a policy. If you don’tshow up for practices, you don’t getto play the game,” stated Howe. Henoted the coaches put the playersthrough a routine that included runsaround the track in addition to practicingoffensive and defensive drills.If there is a secret to the Slackers’frequent wins, Joey Tynes speculatedthat it might be that the team isbroadly based and anyone willingto work hard is welcome. “We have18 and 19 year old, we have 40-year-olds. We have guys who neverplayed before.When the game moved from Saturdayto Friday, not as many spectatorsattended and Howe observed“We’d like to see more fan support.”Tynes agreed, adding “The Slackershave a lot of pride in this traditionand we’d like to keep it going.”Though he’s now retired from theCF, the Mini Grey Cup is stillimportant to Bubby Adams, whostated “I think I might have missedone game in 20 years.”Each Mini Grey Cup gamebegins with a moment of silencehonouring the fallen and BubbyAdams noted that several formerplayers of the Slackers team havebeen killed in Afghanistan.BFTA course an aid to increasing fitness in the CFBy Victoria HornePSP Fitness and Sports instructor,Fleet Fitness and Sports CentreIf you are physi<strong>ca</strong>lly fit and aremotivated to help others inachieving their fitness goals, thenthe Basic Fitness Training Assistant(BFTA) course is for you.
