4 Wing member receives CAF Male Athlete of the Year award
Submitted Cpl J.W.S. Houck
Captain (Capt) Zachary Zeiler JOY SMITH, REPORTER Captain Zack Zeiler is a Dental Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) stationed at 4 Wing Cold Lake. He is one of six dentists on the Canadian Forces Forensic Odontology Response Team (CF FORT), a team that deploys overseas as part of a disaster response team to aid in victim identification through forensic odontology. Capt Zeiler also deployed to Erbil, Iraq to participate in Op IMPACT Roto 3 where he was the only dentist for all Allied Forces. He has also recently completed an intensive surgical course working alongside CAF oral surgeons at RMC to develop his surgical skillsets. As if this doesn’t prove that Capt Zeiler is an absolute overachiever, the fact that he has been named the CAF Male Athlete of the Year takes it over the

Capt Zeiler participating at the CISM - 7th World Military Games in Wuhan, China in October 2019. Of the three individual Lifesaving events that Capt Zeiler swam in, he was the top Male Canadian performer. top. Capt Zeiler has been a member of the CAF CISM Swim/Lifesaving Team since joining the CAF. During three individual Lifesaving events at the CISM Worlds in September 2019, Capt Zeiler was the top Male Canadian performer, as well as winning every race he entered at the CAF Swim Nationals. He placed second in 2019 in the 100m Rescue Medley at the Canadian Pool Lifesaving Championships (CPLC). This national event hosts the best lifesaving athletes in Canada so it goes without saying that Capt Zeiler is not only the top CAF Male CISM Lifesaving Athlete, but one of the top competitors in Canada. Capt Zeiler spends approximately 12 to 15 hours per week training. On a weekly basis he dedicates his ‘off work’ time to swim specific strength training, cross training spin and yoga sessions and of course swimming. Capt Zeiler has also been fortunate to
participate in the CISM Lifesaving Training Camp. This two-week intensive training camp has athletes training two times a day, every day. All this and he still maintains a full workload as a CAF Dental Officer. Capt Zeiler exemplifies the “Soldier First” mentality, going above and beyond in his regular and ancillary work as a Dental Officer for the CAF, while remaining highly competitive in his sport. This is what sets Capt Zeiler apart earning him the title of 4 Wing Male Athlete of the Year as well as holding that title of the Air Command and the CAF. Upon hearing of his nomination, Capt Zeiler remarked, “[It] was a complete surprise and I’m absolutely thrilled and humbled by it. I had heard rumours of being nominated for 4 Wing Male Athlete of the Year, but I had no idea that it made it up to the CAF level. I’m extremely grateful for all the hard work the 4 Wing PSP staff put into it.”

Have a very merry drive thru Christmas dinner JOY SMITH, REPORTER The MFRCS Candy Cane Lane will be experiencing a lot of traffic for the next few weeks. On December 5, families ventured out to the MFRCS to pick up their free gift bags that they enjoyed while connecting with Santa via Zoom for a Christmas story. On December 12, the MFRCS elves will be busy handing out free Christmas wreaths but the best visit to Candy Cane Lane has to be on December 17 and 18. That’s when those busy MFRCS elves will be handing out madefrom-scratch individually packaged hot Christmas dinners as part of the MFRCS and 4 Wing Chaplains Home for the Holidays project. In the past the MFRCS provided their Assembly Hall space to the Padres to hold their annual Christmas dinner for members who would be alone over the holidays. This year it was decided that the MFRCS and the Padres would pool their resources and spread holiday cheer to as many people as possible as part of the MFRCS’s morale booster programs. Home for the Holiday is now a partnership between the MFRCS and the 4 Wing Chaplains, along with their wonderful sponsors Cenovus Energy and Canadian Natural. This year, the plan is to serve 800 hot traditional Christmas Dinners to military and veteran families who are staying home for the holidays. The meals, consisting of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls and strawberry shortcake for dessert will be served via “drive through” on Candy Cane Lane, the decorated area in front of the MFRCS’ main building. The Wing Commander, Col Dave Moar and Wing Chief Warrant Officer, CWO Lee Darling, along with the Padres and MFRCS elves,
will be in attendance serving individually packaged hot meals to registered guests. The event will take place over two evenings, Thursday, 17 December, and Friday, 18 December from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. If driving isn’t an option guests can always walk
thru to pick up their meal. All COVID protocols will be in place during this event. Spaces are limited so register today for your spot by going online to https://4wingmfrcs.perfectmind. com or by calling the MFRCS at 780-594-6006.

Home for the Holidays without the CCMS ANITA VELDHUISEN The Defence Team has grown familiar and benefitted from the steady support of their local Conflict and Complaint Management Services (CCMS) office including drawing on the skill and knowledge of agents, trainers and practitioners when challenging workplace situations arise. CCMS provides the opportunity for a way forward when we are feeling stuck because of conflict in our units and workplaces, and is of great value when the stress of unresolved conflict clouds our thinking and productivity. So, what happens at home, where a resource like the CCMS does not exist? We all are facing, dare I say it, an unprecedented holiday season - I can already hear the groans.

These adjustments will go a long way to bring some peace and joy to everyone at home with you for the holidays. From all of us at the CCMS, happy holidays and we look forward to serving you in 2021!

Holiday activities for the whole family to enjoy JENNIFER BAIN, PSP COMMUNITY RECREATION SUPERVISOR Despite the challenges COVID-19 is creating, the PSP Community Recreation team is determined to bring some festive holiday activities to 4 Wing! Our upcoming FREE Holiday Scavenger Hunt on December 13 has staggered start times and is completed individually or within family cohorts to avoid unnecessary interactions. This event is a sure to be an enjoyed adventure! Using clues
“Christmas Caritas”
A
s the OPI for the Christmas Hamper Campaign this year, I’ve been overwhelmed by the outpouring of generosity throughout the Wing. People throughout the 4 Wing community have been inspired by the idea of helping out a family in need. It could be a friend who needs a hamper, and it’s a lot for one person to help, but together we can help a lot. Maybe it is paying back – someone who helped you out when you needed it. Almost certainly, we’re grasping on to the ‘Christmas spirit’ every way we can in these challenging times. ‘Charity’ has picked up a meaning of being almost… condescending, in our age of radical individualism. But it wasn’t always that way. In fact, back in the old days, the word charity was synonymous with ‘love’. The kind of self-sacrificing love that puts others before self. It comes into English from the Latin ‘Caritas’, which in medieval theology is one of the seven virtues. (You’ve probably heard of the seven deadly sins, but did you know there were seven virtues in opposition to them?) Officially, it means that we “love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the
and help provided by the recreation team, participants will find their way to several destinations around the base while picking up gifts along the way. In addition, we have various “Take & Make” opportunities suited to every age group. These package pick up crafts and activities include all the required supplies and an easy to follow instruction page, or participants can choose to follow our zoom meeting or posted videos to assist. Our take and make opportunities include, a children’s handprint
ornament (perfect to cherish for years to come), a festive yarn ball ornament (great for crafty teens looking to be creative and festive), a wine glass snowman (lovey addition to holiday décor), and Christmas slime (fun for school aged kids to make and enjoy). Registration is available on Book King: https://bkk.cfmws.com/ coldlakepub/courses/index.asp Visit CAF Connection or our social media pages on Facebook: 4 Wing Connection, or Instagram: 4wingrecreation for more details.

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
love of God.” Charity means to love our neighbour, not for what we get out of it. We’ve collected more food in this Hamper Campaign than we have people to give it to at this point. The excess will go to the local food bank. So the charity you’ve given to bless our community is overflowing to our neighbours. This is the nature of grace – a free gift – that when we are filled to overflowing with charity, it must pour out to infect those around us. There you have it! Want to fight the infection of the virus? Become so infected with charity, that you become contagious. Saint Nicholas – part of the inspiration for Santa Claus – is famous for his Christmas charity. The real man was a bishop in what is now Turkey (so, not so much snow, sleighs, or reindeer). The story that connects him with Christmas has to do with him taking pity on a poor family, whose daughters faced being sold into slavery. Saint Nicholas is said to have anonymously dropped gold into stockings left by an open window to dry, saving the girls from a terrible fate in a harsh world. That is where the tradition of leaving stockings by the fireplace comes from. I sometimes wonder, if we
wanted to truly keep in the spirit of jolly old Saint Nick, if we might consider leaving anonymous gifts at the homes of those who need it, more than filling our own stockings with fun little trinkets. In the Christian tradition, of course, God’s Christmas Charity is the gift of Jesus: the longanticipated Messiah, and saviour of the world. Jesus is the ultimate expression of charity, as the popular verse John 3:16 says, “For God so loved (“charitied”) the world, that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life.” Jesus’ story is about giving up everything he has and everything he is to buy up our debt and free us from slavery to sin and death. If you are filled with that charity, you cannot help but overflow to the world around you. So, thank you to all for your charity in this campaign, your charity for your neighbours in need, and it is my hope and prayer that you will be filled with all the charity you could ever need this Christmas time.
