Colonel William Seymour is about to leave “the best job in the Air Force.”

14 Wing’s commander wraps up his two-year posting here in August, with the change of command ceremony between himself and incoming Colonel Jim Irvine August 5.

“This is a fantastic job, and past base commanders have all said it, too,” Seymour says.

“Watching the people here do great things, seeing them go at it – it’s complicated, but a lot of fun.”

Seymour starts the year-long National Security Studies Program in Toronto later in August. He’s looking forward to the challenge, and the change in focus.

“I get to worry about myself and my studies and my family. But, it still sounds like a lot of work!”

The downside for Seymour of leaving Greenwood after just two years: know-ing there are things he put on track he now won’t see through to the end. The upside? Getting his “people” through op-portunities, seeing them gain experience and develop so continuity is maintained.

“The Canadian Forces is really good at that. There will be small things I know I’ve put my fl avour on, but, as a team, we’re required to be enduring, keep up with the searches and the rescues, be fully operational.”

Seymour takes pride in his progress

paying attention to his people, from the construction of a new medical clinic to improving day care services.

“Personnel support programs are all about helping people excel at their work, and that’s a clear mission that has really existed here in Greenwood for a long time.”

He hopes he’s remembered for his time here in a couple of ways. By local community agencies and government:

“I was really engaged.” By his own personnel: “I hope they’d say I was friendly, that I took great care of our families and our jobs, set high expec-

tations – and that I was funny!”Looking back two short

years ago at his personal expectations for himself as commanding officer, Seymour says he would have said to “pick three things you want to ac-complish and drive hard to achieve them.

“Pick an endpoint and go for it.”

Initial meetings with his wing team set goals to take care of people and provide direction to the workforce – and

“let them know when they’re not performing.

“It’s about making sure the wing is better than it was when I started.”

That’s been a challenge, with some pretty big responsibilities shouldered by 14 Wing’s people: support for Afghanistan missions, the more recent involvement with Operation Mobile in Italy regarding Libya, the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, Canadian host-ing of both the G8 and G20 summits and fl ood response in Newfoundland. Add on time pre- and post-missions for training, leave and reporting, and the load becomes bigger.

“All of the wing’s assets have been involved in doing what needs to be done,” Seymour says. “We’ve pushed our people pretty hard.

“But, morale is high because people are doing what they signed up to do: missions, search and rescue, administration. They’ve had the chances to do that, and it’s been fantastic.”

Does it get tiring?

Parting thoughts ...

By Sara Keddy, Managing editor, The Aurora Newspaper

Strong community connections weren’t hard for 14 Wing Commander Col. William Seymour to make during his two-year tour in Greenwood.

Those links were acknowledged with thanks July 15, as Kings County Warden Diana Brothers visited Seymour for the fi nal time before he heads out in August.

Seymour was fi rst in Greenwood in 1965, just four years old, as his father served at the base.

“Wing commanders are strongly encouraged by the Air Force to be involved in the community,” Seymour said. “We recognize our status here, and we don’t take it for granted.

“When we need the support of the community – when the Cormorant crashed, through our deployments to Afghanistan, the water issue – people rallied behind us. We’re a

“Yes, but you manage it,” Sey-mour says, describing his own determination to take an hour off one afternoon to attend his son’s school concert.

“I went in my fl ying suit, and people see that and say, ‘Why can’t I do that?’ Well, it’s hard to do for everyone, but we can try. It’s about family balance.”

After 24 years in the Air Force, Seymour says that continues to be a challenge.

“I could spend 20 hours a day here, but I’ve told all my com-manding offi cers I have a young family, and I’m not going to lose that. And, I expect them to do that, too.”

The security studies program Seymour is enrolled in will open his career to higher level staff jobs, strategic issues and policy-focused work. While that’s excit-ing, he knows he’s been “much closer and more directly involved with people” here at 14 Wing.

“After two or three years in a posting, though, you get the itch and start thinking, ‘OK, let’s go.’ As long as I’m having fun, I’m in.”

Cover story continued...

County, base acknowledge community connectionsshining example of cooperation and partnership, and we continue to work on making that bigger.”

He cited more recent efforts to include the community in the construction of a second ice surface and curling club in the wing’s own single-surface arena project.

Brothers said the services 14 Wing extends to the community are “second to none,” and she stresses to her council how “special” the base is.

“If we were to take 14 Wing out of the county, it would leave a huge hole – from recreation through to employment. It goes on and on.”

She credited Seymour for his guidance, advice and high visibility in the community.

“When you’re out and about, it makes a big impact on people not with the base, and it’s a leadership role for your own employees.”

Warden Diana Brothers, on behalf of Kings County, presented 14 Wing Commander Colonel William Seymour with an “iconic” Dick Killam photograph of Cape Split. The departure gift recog-nizes the close partnerships between the base and the county. Seymour said he’d never hiked to the landmark, but has certainly fl own over its cliffs and beaches. The site is also often the scene of hiker rescues by base search and rescue teams.

By Second Lieutenant Ezra Goldschläger, A/D operations offi cer, 405 Long Range Patrol Squadron

Jordan Brown makes one hell of a fi rst impression. He’s a courteous, polite and respectful 18 year old. He’s

positive, intelligent and smiling all the time. He says thank you and appreciates the little things.

He has also been diagnosed with four brain tumours. When asked what he would like to do if he could take time

for granted the way the rest of us do, he said he’d like to be a doctor or a pilot. With a little organizing, and a lot of help from across the base, 14 Wing made him a pilot for a day.

Brown’s recent visit started with a tour of 405 Squadron After receiving a brief about what the squadron does and the capabilities of the CP140 Aurora, Brown had a tour of 11 Hanger and was fl oored by the tremendous size of the space. Sergeant Jameson of 14 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS) took the time to explain how AMS gets its job done and some of the tools and equipment of the trade.

Afterwards, Jameson took Brown to 10 Hanger for rare access to the 14 AMS engine bay. Sergeant Smith and Master Corporal Weedon showed Brown the complexity of an engine, and the level of fi ne, detailed work required to ensure everything works. Brown had no idea of the amount of manpower required, and all the intricacies of the work.

Next stop was the Full Flight Simulator (FFS). Here, with full visuals and full motion, Brown was able to pilot the Aurora. With retired Captain Derek Squires as his aircraft commander and instructor, and retired Chief Warrant Offfi cer Mark Flawn creating and manipulating the scenario on the fl y, Brown had his fi rst fl ying lesson, taking off and landing within

half-an-hour. While leaving some room for improvement, all things considered, his landings were pretty darn good for 30 minutes’ practice fl ying a 80,000-pound metal bird, touching the ground at 200 kilometres per hour.

After a quick pilot box lunch, courtesy of Flight Feeding, Brown was off for a real fl ight. With a fl ight suit on loan from supply, he suited up to take to the skies. He was also presented with a tan 405 Squadron ball cap, the fi rst to be given out. The

remainder are heading to 405 members in theatre. The crew consisted of the commanding offi cer, chief warrant offi cer, the deputy commanding offi cer and other experienced members of 405 Squadron; who all worked with conviction to make this a day to remember. After climbing to altitude the crew, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Major, gave Brown control and allowed him to bomb around the Valley, fl ying over his homes in Kentville and Port Williams - good thing he had 30 minutes of training before taking the stick! After an hour of this new perspective on the world, the plane and all aboard landed, safe and sound.

As he was getting off the plane, like a superstar, the “paparazzi” were waiting: Private Gaudreault and Corporal Jorge posed the group for some pictures in front of the plane.

It all made for a memorable day, made possible thanks to members across the wing. Brown has more chemotherapy treatments ahead and, though he has every reason to feel down, he chooses to make the best of every day. Brown and his attitude on this visit reminded us all “it is not what happens to us, it is our attitude that matters.”

Ever wonder how someone from Britain becomes a Canadian citizen? Better yet, how does a physician under contract with the British military make the leap to the Canadian Forces (CF) Health Services?

Captain Damien Haworth is the man to ask.Born and raised in Cambridgeshire, Great

Britain, Haworth attended the University of Dundee and received his Bachelor of Medicine degree in 1992. He then worked in civilian practice, including a two-year contract with the British Forces.

In 2002, Haworth immigrated with his family to Canada, where he set up practice as a family physician in Souris, PEI. He joined the CF in September 2008 and, in January 2009, was posted to 26 CF Health Services C here at 14 Wing Greenwood. On completion of basic offi cer and basic medical offi cer training, he went on to qualify as a dive medicine physician in December 2009 and received his fl ight surgeon qualifi cation

From British physician to CF medical offi cer

in March 2010. Not being one to rest on his laurels, Haworth

deployed to Camp Mirage in June 2010, where he served as a medical offi cer and fl ight surgeon until November 2010, when he was transferred to Cyprus. After returning to Canada for the Christmas holidays, he deployed on a Technical Assistance Visit to Kandahar in a role one position as fl ight surgeon.

Haworth describes his deployments as interesting and rewarding. He was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of the Canadian Forces and its ability to work seamlessly with coalition forces. His job was made easier by the way soldiers knuckled down and dealt with the challenges and hardships involved in their dangerous and demanding roles.

As the fi rst member of his family to join the military, Haworth plans on making the CF a long-term career. He hopes to deploy on further tours, and is currently a health care team leader and the acting wing surgeon at the 14 Wing clinic.

May 18, Haworth became a naturalized Canadian. Despite the lengthy process involved, he is now proud to be a Canadian citizen.

To our community partners: A heartfelt thanks and a reluctant farewell.

With The Aurora Newspaper staff taking a well-deserved summer holiday for the next few weeks, this is my last Wing Commander’s column prior to the change of command August 5, when Colonel Jim Irvine will take over the leadership of the greatest wing in the Air Force. Two years may seem like a long time but, the fact is, it goes by in a blur.

On behalf of my wing chief warrant officer, 14 Wing’s commanding offi cers - six of whom will also be changing over this summer - and all the men and women who work to make the wing operate so successfully and who volunteer their time in the local community, I would like to thank our community partners for their tremendous support over the past two years. Like many wings across the country, 14 Wing Greenwood enjoys a strong relationship with the local community but, in Greenwood, our relationship is stronger and deeper due to the uniqueness of our community and because of the many mutual advantages to making it so. We know a healthy, vibrant local community is great for all of our families and makes Greenwood a popular destination for our personnel - which makes my job that much easier.

In the past two years, we have continued the work started by our predecessors, through existing initiatives such as the community health care clinic, the twin pad arena project and our mutual engagement on a range of issues. We have also

taken some new steps together, including the establishment of an exciting affi liation between 14 Wing squadrons and units and many of the schools in the area, and we have produced a new handbook for local business people on how to do business with 14 Wing, a by-product of our work with the Kings Regional Development Agency, the local chamber of commerce and inquiries made by several of our local business owners.

The mos t s ign i f i can t example of community support and cooperation was the quick and unequivocal support the wing received from the Municipality of the County of Kings and the Greenwood and Kingston village commissions when higher than acceptable levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) were found in the wing’s drinking water supply last year. The base was connected to the community water supply at unprecedented speed – a credit to our community leaders and the strong working relationship we have established. As the community has shown so many times over the years, you are there when we need you and we can count on each other in times of need.

This kind of cooperation and support can only happen t h r o u g h t h e d e d i c a t e d l e a d e r s h i p , e f f o r t a n d commitment of countless people and groups throughout the Annapolis Valley. Meeting and working with them has truly been one of the highlights of my two years in command. There are many individuals and community groups out there I would like to thank

for their tireless support, and I’d like to single out a few of them here: our superb MLA Leo Glavine, our MP Greg Kerr, our warden for the Municipality of the County of Kings Diana Brothers and councillors Wayne Atwater and Fred Whalen, and the Greenwood and Kingston village commissions. Our communi ty and service groups, and the hundreds of people who selflessly give of their time to make this community such a great place to live, are incredible, and they include the ever enthusiastic Lions Clubs, the Legions, the Rotarians and countless church groups – all a true credit to this community. As I have said so many times, the strength of a community can be measured by the spirit of volunteerism that exists within it, and we have a very strong community indeed. I would also like to thank Margo Tait, the superintendent of the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board , and our community schools who work so hard to provide our children with a quality education; and the local businesses, who so generously support so many wing projects, events and charitable initiatives.

My family and I have enjoyed the many years we have spent in Greenwood, and these past two years have been particularly enriching and rewarding. I know Colonel Irvine can count on your cooperation and support in the next two years, and that you will extend the same warm welcome to him and his family. With thanks, we bid you a fond farewell.

14 Wing Greenwood’s Nijmegen team had a good start in the 95th international 160-kilometre march, as detailed in the following excerpts from a situation report from team member Captain Marc Beaumier, 413 Squadron, July 20:

“Team did really good today. We had a great day with no major injuries, just the expected sore feet and small blisters, but nothing to affect anyone for the anticipated march tomorrow, which will lead us to the Groesbeek Canadian cemetery.”

“The response our team, and

March reportsNijmegen team on the road

any Canadian, has received by any locals has been nothing short of remarkable! Canada is by far the most loved country of all the participants. We are acclaimed and received by everyone, just like family!”

“Just the cheers we receive push us to continue and do the extra mile! People are offering, for free, along the road anything from candy, liquorice, marshmallow, cucumber, pretzel, waffle and variety of drinks!

“You can not express with words, how amazing this experience is!”

Beaumier said, in particular, team lead Captain Little and second-in-command Corporal Wheaton have done tremendous work to ensure

the team was ready for this challenging adventure.

It was raining as Greenwood team members arrived in Holland, so the camp was cold, wet and muddy. On the fi rst day of the march, July 19, the weather eased. The marchers put in 45 kilometres and enjoyed giving out Canadian stickers, hats, fl ags and tattoos to the crowds lining the route, according to a wind-wide email here at home.

“From young children to the elderly, the cheers and waves motivate us to walk on, forgetting about the pain and tired muscles,” said Corporal Daniel Wiswell, 14 Wing Greenwood. “This is the fi rst year for all the members on

the Greenwood team and, now, most of us are looking forward to attending this event in the future.”

14 Wing can be proud of what all of us have done in support of our Nijmegen t e a m a s t h e y m a r c h through Holland, as did our predecessors 66 years ago, to bring peace and security to a war-torn country. The Nimegen event represents the largest annual assembly of Canadian military personnel at a war cemetery outside of Canada, in Groesbeek, the resting place of over 2,300 Canadian soldiers and airmen. Greenwood’s team and other marchers will halt there on the third day of the march to conduct remembrance services.

With fi les from Captain Rob Bungay

Members of the 14 Wing Greenwood team, march-ing over the Waalburg bridge on the fi rst day of the Nijmegen marches July 19. The marches, this year July 19 through 22, are a rigorous and prestigious annual event, attracting some 45,000 military and ci-vilian participants and more than a million spectators from over 50 nations. Canadian Forces’ members have participated in the event since 1952.

Youth Happenings

By Lee Russell, North Mountain Gun Club

July 1, the North Mountain Gun Club held its Canada Day shoot.

It was decided to use this event as a fundraiser in support of the Companion Animal Protection Society (CAPS) of Annapolis County. CAPS is a non-profi t group founded in 2004, and it is concerned with

Shooting fun supports community animal rescue

the large number of homeless and unwanted companion animals in Annapolis County each year. CAPS gives a second chance for a happy, secure life to those animals who find themselves abandoned at the county pound. For more info, call 825-2277 or 765-4789.

This shoot was for .22 rimfi re rifl es at a series of tiny targets, including sugar cubes, empty shotgun shells, wooden blocks

and several gongs of different sizes; at distances from 10 to 100 yards. All targets were devised and constructed by Ward Thompson and Scott Russell. Each shooter had to hit all 10 targets in less than 20 shots to qualify for the championship round. After the initial round, 11 shooters qualifi ed for the fi nal. Everyone took turns at a 100-yard gong: if they missed, they were out. After much tense competition, only two shooters remained: Horst Loegler and Thomas Brown. After more excellent shooting, Loegler emerged the champion and took home a gift certifi cate as his prize.

The best part of the day was that the shooters’ fees came to $93.50, and the NMGC topped this amount up to $200. A collection jar in the club house brought the total raised for CAPS to $250. Thanks to Chris

Tanner, Horst Loegler, Ward Thompson, Scott Russell, Elissa and Savannah Brown; and all who helped out to make this event such a success.

July 17, the North Mountain Gun Club held its annual black powder shoot for primitive muzzle -loading rifles. A dedicated group of shooters arrived on a fine summer’s day. A nice lunch of chilli and dogs was served up by Tanner and Leogler.

The shooters assembled on the firing line at 1 p.m.

with a fine assortment of historically-correct muzzle-loading r i f les , shoot ing patched, round ball and black powder. The targets this year, created and constructed again by Thompson and Russell, were a combination of novelty targets: popsicle sticks, clay pigeons and small wooden blocks hung on strings; and traditional gongs of different shapes and sizes, spaced at ranges of 15 yards to 100 yards. The fi nal scores were very close. First place was won by Richard Rand of Blue Mountain Long Rifl es, with a score of 15. Three people tied for second place with a score of 14, and a shoot-off was needed to decide second and third place. Second place was won by Erwin Miesner, also of Blue Mountain Long rifl es. Third place went to Sherman Gossen of Mack Meadow Fur Post. Thanks to David Higgins for directing the clean-up and Elissa and Savannah Brown for keeping the score.

The 14 Wing Community Centre’s French daycamp was fi lled with action last week, as the campers tried out a variety of different sports.

The week began with a walk over to the Fitness & Sports Centre Monday to play some soccer, fl oor hockey, volleyball and more. Tuesday, French camp went to the Birchall Centre to watch a basketball movie. Campers

then took a trip to the Sports Hall of Fame at the Halifax Metro Centre, where they watched a short fi lm about sports, participated in a scavenger hunt and looked at many different displays. To finish off the week, campers received a basketball lesson.

Next up is the pirate-themed week, with pirate ship making, baking some tasty treats and taking a trip to Pirate’s Cove.

Sports mania!

Hundreds of cadets from Atlantic Canada are washing cars this summer, raising money to help support our deployed troops.

A s a p a r t o f t h e i r course, 12- and 13-year-old cadets following the general training course at the Atlant ic Cadet Summer Training Camp in Greenwood will be at the Irving Mainway on Central Avenue July 30 and August 13, washing cars. All donations go towards sending care packages for troops overseas. The fi rst of three carwashes took place July 17 and, through the generosity of customers, cadets raised $546.

In addition to supporting the troops, this activity is a great way to teach teamwork and leadership to youth.

Local leadership for Cadet summer training centre

Greenwood’s new warrant officer 1st class (WO1) for this year is Jacqueline Roberts

Chief Warrant Offi cer Dale Harty, Cadet Summer Training Centre chief; and Lieutenant Colonel Noel Hand, commanding offi cer, Greenwood Air Cadet Summer Training Centre; promote Jacqueline Rob-erts to warrant offi cer fi rst class. Submitted

from 517 Flight Lieutenant Graham Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, located in Greenwood.

With a previous year as a basic leadership course fl ight sergeant, Roberts feels ready to take on the challenges this demanding position involves.

“I know how this place works,” she says of the summer training program.

As the chief cadet of this centre, Roberts will be working closely with the command team of the camp. The selection process for this position is intense. During a full week, staff cadets are evaluated on their leadership, drill, professionalism and specifi c skills. Only after much deliberation does the command team announce the different positions to a waiting crowd of staff cadets with, of course, the WO1 position the highlight of the ceremony.

“The level of self-discipline and problem solving required for this position is at its highest,” says Captain Hélène Manuel. “You’re ultimately responsible for the overall functioning of this centre.”

Lieutenant Mark Williams, former warrant offi cer for the training support section, says, in his opinion, the balance between managing the staff cadets and yet still being friends with them after hours is the biggest challenge. Roberts may well agree, after the summer, having all her friends under her leadership leaves a very thin line between work and a social life. Regardless, she is looking forward to this summer.

“Come here ready to learn,” she says.

Cadets’ car washes support troops across the water

Woodworth from Moncton said while he and his new buddy, Cadet Dylan Leamon from Stephenville, were waiting for the next

car to pull in. If you’re in the area July

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, this week’s circumstances test your ability to multitask. If you look at it as a game, it could be easier to make it through the week unscathed. Avoid stress.TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, your lighthearted attitude enables you to sail through stressful situations without anxiety. Teach this technique to high-strung relatives who could use the help.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you exude a casual confi dence this week, but inside your feelings are rumbling beneath the surface. That’s because you have a lot on your mind.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Expect a comple te lack o f concentration this week, Cancer. That’s because you have a fi nancial situation to deal with, and it’s taking up all of your brain activity.LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you are feel ing a bi t irresponsible, even if you have pressing items to handle. That’s because you have been taking on too much and your mind is saying it needs a break.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you won’t make a lot of sense to others this week, but that’s OK since you know what you need to get done. Real estate plans are in full force.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you can’t seem to stop talking, and others are starting to grow frustrated Be more humble and respect others’ opinions this week. Otherwise you will be fl ying solo.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you are feeling somewhat scattered and it’s because of the high-energy, high-intensity type of week that is coming up. You may need to fi nd a place to decompress. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21You feel like you want to do something out of the ordinary this week, Sagittarius. But it could be better to stick to the status quo. Otherwise you may ruffl e a few feathers.CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20You have more options than you fi rst realized. It’s time you put your plan into action and get busy. Pisces proves to be a big help on Thursday. You can use the assistance. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, your mind is full of ideas, but you have no plan of attack. You can’t just go in without a few ideas on how to proceed. Think it over a little more and have patience.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, now is not the time to take the next step even though you feel confi dent. You need some more fi nancial backing.

On Golden Pond, by Ernest Thompson, is about the warm, loving relationship between two elderly people who have been coming to their cottage on their beloved lake for many years. The father’s relationship with their daughter has always been somewhat strained but, this summer, when Chelsea comes to visit, there is hope of reconciliation. She brings her new boyfriend with her and the boyfriend’s 13-year-old son, Billy. Billy quickly becomes the grandchild the couple never had. The play will have most appeal for an older audience, which will fi nd itself swinging between laugh-ter at Norman’s tart-tongued observations and tears, as the couple come face to face with the reality of life’s uncertainty. On Golden Pond is most suit-able for children over 12. On Golden Pond opens July 28 (pay what you can), and continues Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. until Septem-ber 3. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee August 21. To make reservations, phone 678-1562. www.centrestagetheatre.ca. CentreStage Theatre is located at 61 River Street, Kentville.

Desserts Udderly Divinethere were two entries, one from a team of brothers! Judges thought the entries should be declared a tie, so awarded gift certifi cates to King of Donair and to The Kingston Diner to each of the entries: Jadon and Isaac Abriel for their double decker deluxe chocolate cake, skillfully adorned with fresh berries; and Julia Marcus’ classic strawberry lemon cheesecake.

In the over-14 category, seven contestants competed for a dinner for two at The Aurora

Inn. First prize was awarded to Stacy Abriel (the mother of Jadon and Isaac) Stacy’s entry was a frozen strawberry tang. In second place was a white chocolate pie with strawberries, created by Pam Dominey. Third place was awarded to Emily Peckford for her chocolate chip cookies. Angie Morton had the most skillful creation for her Jell-O-Berry cheesecake and was presented with a gift certifi cate to the Tin Phuong Restaurant. Athena Clarke was rewarded for the handsome

appearance of her mouth-watering chocolate cake. Amy Florian’s entry, Fresh Five chocolate silk pie, was the most original. Gift certifi cates from Greenwood Physiotherapy and Dooly’s were presented to Pam, Emily, Amy and Athena. Jessica Wright’s Nova Scotia blueberry cupcakes, piled high with butter cream icing, were recognized as a blue ribbon entry. She received a gift certifi cate to Dooly’s.

Dessert portions were sold and enjoyed by onlookers.

Village Fair Committee would like to thank all the volunteers who helped man the different venues: your hard work made

it all happen. Special thanks to local businesses and community supporters for their donations and support.

By Sara Keddy, Managing editor, The Aurora Newspaper

Teeing off for your 8 a.m. shotgun start?

Bruce Whitman and his team have you beat.

Whitman and his crew hit the links by 5 a.m. on special event and tournament days at the Greenwood Golf Club, mowing 18 holes, moving pins and making sure they’re well out of the way when you step on course to play.

“So, our day is over at lunch time, really,” Whitman says, sighing when he thinks about the expanded “honey-do” list waiting for him at home: there are still plenty of daylight hours left in his day.

This is Whitman’s 16th season on the course’s maintenance staff. He started right out of high school, trimming and changing pins. He was also on hand as the course’s irrigation system was installed. He says there has been something new to learn every step of the way.

“There’s definitely an art to it. You have to know your soils and seeds, proper watering techniques. There are a couple of

Keeping it greenTeamwork behind a great game on Greenwood course

diseases to watch for - and ants.”Greenwood is also challenged

by what’s often a scenic setting for a number of holes: the Cornwallis River.

“It fl oods down there, so we go down and rake off the ‘high tide lines,’ we call them. Anytime it rains, it could fl ood and affect the whole course: just nine holes could be open.

“I hate rain. Well, I like rain in small doses. Even on a crappy day, I love my job.”

Whitman says the course opened in 2010 March 18 – the earliest year ever – but “all the heavens have to align for that to happen.

“This year, we had snow ‘til mid-March, then it just rained. We opened April 1 and it was the joke around here it snowed.”

Whitman’s crew – four full-time and three part-time seasonal staff – are generally coming on to the job from mid-March to get the greens in shape after the winter. This spring, it also took them three weeks to clean up debris from the December 13 windstorm that swept through the Valley. Whitman gives a lot of credit to the extra hands that pitch in – from the club’s greens

chairman who will come out to marshall the course on busy days, picking up sticks and litter as he walks along; to the wing sections who “sponsor” a hole.

“We had four guys out here on Hole 13 for four hours, trimming grass, pulling weeds, edging the

bunkers. That’s general stuff we should be getting at every day, but we couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers. Those little things make a difference in how the course looks.”

Whitman says Greenwood does get good reviews – not only

from members, but from visitors. The grounds crews aim to keep everyone happy with a beautiful, well-maintained course, but Whitman admits they put in extra effort when there are bigger events on the schedule.

“We want to make sure everything is perfect. We want the course on display for the whole province.

“Anyone that does come from away, they love it, say it’s a great course – it’s tough.”

The toughest hole?“Hole 16, a long par four. You

need to hit a long tee shot to an elevated green, and that slopes from front to back. I’ve only ever birdied it once in 16 years – but the best part of that day was it was the same day I had a hole in one on Hole 11.”

Whitman was never a golfer before he started at the course, but he gets out a few times a year now – and there is always the staff game at the end of the season.

“Fall is really nice here, the leaves are nice.”

Then, from a grounds crew perspective, “but then they’re on the ground and you can’t fi nd your ball!”
