omen tend to spend a lot of time caring for others. It can get pretty exhausting, which is why the phrase “me time” comes up so much. “Me time” is by definition taking time away from your responsibilities to take care of yourself, and Pacific Women’s Day is a great way to do just that. Warrant Officer April Levigne has gone to Pacific Women’s Day six times now, and she looks forward to going each and every year because it’s a great chance for her to relax and reboot so she can help others. “It’s a lot of fun,
and a good time for you to look after you,” said Levigne. “If you don’t look after yourself first, then you can’t look after others. ” It’s also a great way to meet new people and catch up with old friends. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet other women in the military community,” said Ekaterina Gregory, lead organizer of Pacific Women’s Day. “Sometimes we feel isolated, and this is a great way to meet new friends, relax and reenergize. ” While Gregory always tries to bring in different workshops and speakers there are a few sessions she knows will
always be loved, like wine tasting and massage. So she brings them back year after year. If you want to get into one of those sessions, you need to sign up as soon as possible, because they always fill up fast. Gregory is also bringing back the marketplace. So, while Pacific Women’s Day is a day just for you to spoil and pamper yourself, you can also browse the market and find the perfect gift to give to someone special in the upcoming holiday season. Some other previous workshops include belly dancing, zentangle, knitting, garden-
ing tips and tours, and sushi making. There are also educational sessions, which means you can take a workshop and learn how to give speeches and improve your presentation skills, communicate compassionately, or practice mindfulness. This year Pacific Women’s Day will be on Saturday November 25 at Royal Roads University. Make sure you register for it so you can spend time with friends, maybe win a prize or two, and get some valuable me time. Learn more about the event at www.esquimaltmfrc.com/ pacific-womens-day.

Designed for infants under the age of six months, the baby boxes contain a custom-made mattress that can be used with the box as a bassinet, a onesie, diapers, wipes, nursing pads, baby lotion, plus an assortment of discount coupons. “This latest program we are offering is another great way the MFRC is connecting and supporting military families with new children,” said Scott Branch, MFRC Children’s Service Coordinator. “The boxes are essentially a starter kit for new parents. ” MFRC staff have also added reading materials on breastfeeding, raising a military child and information on family care support programs available in the community. The baby boxes are inspired by an initiative that began over 75 years ago by the government of Finland and their efforts to address alarming infant mortality rates. The self-contained boxes distributed to mothers served as a care package and also as a bassinet, and in the end helped greatly contribute to a downward trend in the infant mortality rate. The boxes meet Health Canada Standards and are manufactured by the Baby Box Co. They normally retail for approximately $150. Branch said there are currently 60 baby boxes in stock and the company will supply more as needed. To obtain a baby box, military families must first register for the program through a link on the MFRC website at www.esquimaltmfrc.com/welcoming-baby-box/. It is recommended that families pick up their box in advance of their due date or in the first three months after the birth of the child. CFB ESQUIMALT / MARPAC ACTIVITY GUIDE

Q&A with Jackie CarlĂŠ With the retirement of MFRC executive director Gaynor Jackson in June, Jackie CarlĂŠ took over as interim executive director. We caught up her to talk about the transition and the way ahead. What experience do you bring to the role of executive director? I have spent the past 23 years working for military families in a variety of roles. Sometimes that has meant working at individual Military Family Resource Centres and sometimes at the national level with Military Family Services. I have had experience working with non-proďŹ ts and with board of directors. In the past year, I have also had the opportunity to be acting executive director here in Esquimalt during a few leave of absences. How long have you been with the Esquimalt MFRC? While with Military Family Services, I was the ďŹ eld operations manager. It took me to every MFRC and I knew that this MFRC was one that I could align with. Four years ago, I did a short-term project to review the MFRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core services and to help create an outcomes-based evaluation process for our services. I ofďŹ cially joined the MFRC
as community engagement manager in April of 2014. What is it like to replace someone that has been in the position for close to 20 years? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a privilege to come into an organization that has had such longevity in leadership and staff as well. I have known Gaynor professionally for the past 12 years. I think we complemented each other really well and made a good team. I worked closely with her the past three years. Filling in for her a couple of times in the past year has helped with the transition. It creates security and a secure vision ahead. I know the system and understand Military Family Services really well. It helps to have that context in this time of change. What has it been like so far? It is business as usual here at the MFRC. We have really talented, professional staff. We are very engaged with our work. It is a high operational tempo and work is continuing at that same high level. What is the plan with the Executive Director position? I was hired as interim executive director for six months with the possibility of an extension. The timing

Where Dependability and Trust are a Priority... Induction & Fuel Injection Service Out of Province Inspection Diesel Fuel Service Brake service Oil service Ask about BG Lifetime Protection Plan Electrical Exhaust &AIRVIEW 2D s Tires www.tracksideautoservice.ca
of the hiring process will be contingent on the governance review. How does the governance review impact the search for a new executive director? Our parent organization, Military Family Services, are doing a governance review for all Military Family Resource Centres. Right now, they are trying to determine if it is still appropriate to continue with the not-for-proďŹ t structure or if there are alternate governance models that work better in the future. The thought at our MFRC was that it was unfair to bring someone new to a system that is evolving. A change in governance is a big deal and it is unfair for a new executive director to start a job before those details are ďŹ gured out. What is the process going forward? From September 21st to the 25th, two board members and executive directors from each MFRC will meet in Toronto. Five governance models will be discussed. The attendees will vote to determine the top two options. At some point over the following months, the Chief of Defence Staff will decide on one of those two options. By the end of September, we will know
Jackie CarlĂŠ, interim Executive Director of the Esquimalt MFRC
the lay of the land and can hire with that information in mind. What if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough information to make a decision at that time? If that is the case, there is an option to extend my contract and conduct the hiring process at a later date. When it comes to hiring, what are the next steps? At the Esquimalt MFRC, we have a very strong board of directors. This is an opportunity for us to stop and think in case this review takes MFRCs in a new direction. Throughout the process, there will be a transition committee that includes Leanne Kopp (former board chair at the Esquimalt MFRC and current executive director of The Prostate Centre), Denise Lloyd (from Engaged HR) and four current board members. The position will be posted and there will be a robust hiring process to see who is out there and who is interested in this position.

Aquatics NEW! SASY (Supplied Air Snorkelling for Youth) (5 – 7 yrs) Can’t wait to turn 8 to try SCUBA diving? No problem! Aquarius Dive Club offers children as young as 5 years old their 1st breath on SCUBA with the Supplied Air Snorkelling for Youth (SASY) Program. In the SASY program, children 5-8yrs old wear a Buoyancy Compensator Device (BCD) and SCUBA equipment, but they stay on the surface, and experience breathing from a regulator while floating. The BCD is like a life preserver, and it holds a real scuba tank with a functioning regulator and air gauge. However, the BCD is not weighted, so the child remains positively buoyant at the surface of the pool. It’s fun, easy and safe. All instructors are PADI certified dive instructors. Register early to avoid class cancellation. For specific details on the program call Shawn Falconer: 250-661-7327 / shawntaughtmetodive@gmail. com or Dustin Renz at dustinfrenz@gmail.com.

7 often missed baby-proofing tips (BPT) - Most parents, or soon-to-be parents, are often aware of the obvious baby proofing checklist items: baby gates, electrical outlet covers, cabinet locks, sharp furniture corners, etc. However, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there are a surprising number of “hidden” hazards around the home. These hazards, such as window cords, hide in plain sight and should be on everyone’s list of items to baby proof. Corded window coverings are a strangulation hazard as infants and young children can accidentally become entangled in the cords. The window covering industry and consumer safety advocates all agree that only cordless window coverings or those with inaccessible cords should be used in homes
with young children. There are many cordless window covering options offered today. Magnets. Small powerful magnets, if swallowed, can attract inside the body and block, twist or tear the intestines. Be sure to take note of what is in a child’s play environment that may pose a risk. If you think your child
has swallowed a magnet, seek medical attention immediately. Recalled products. Be aware of the latest safety recalls and get dangerous products out of the home. Furniture tip-overs. Children will pull and climb on top-heavy furniture, TVs and cabinets, which can easily tip over, causing a serious
accident. Install anchors and brackets to all pieces of furniture with a tip-over risk. Read more information on the CPSC’s “Anchor it!” website. Pools and drains. A child can be trapped underwater from the suction of a pool or spa drain. Parents should inspect pools and spas for missing or broken drain covers. Older child’s toys. If this is your second child, be certain to keep the older siblings toys in a separate area from the baby, in order to prevent them from possibly choking on small pieces. Button batteries. A child can swallow a button battery and suffer chemical burns in as little as two hours. Leave all devices with accessible button batteries - watches, remote controls, toys, keyless remote controls, etc. - out of the reach of children.

It’s never too early to teach
compassion AND empathy (BPT) - The news is filled with articles about the opinions and attitudes of the millennial generation and now, Generation Z. But what about the youngest generation - youths 4-9 years old? These children are growing up in a time of unprecedented access to information, when civility, kindness and compassion have taken a back seat to bullying and violence. Experts say it is more important now than ever for parents to seek learning moments in which children can experience compassion and empathy. The Jensen Project is a program designed to foster compassion, inspiration and courage in young people as a path to avoiding the bullying and sexual harassment prevalent on college campuses. The program examines the attitudes and opinions of young people with the goal of inspiring a gentler, kinder, more empathetic dimension in their lives. Janet Jensen, founder of The Jensen Project, says,
“Children are at their most vulnerable when they are forming their social skills. They are a reflection of what they see and hear around them. Parents, educators and media influencers need to take extra care to teach compassion and courage at an early age.” Recent research conducted by YouthBeat and commissioned by The Jensen Project, asked youths ages 4-9 if they thought the world would be a better place when they grow up. Forty-one percent said yes, while 38 percent felt the world would be the same or worse. In an alarming statement about what stresses them the most, death and bullying each rose to the top third of concerns after family and school issues. Experts agree bullying is becoming a critical issue at a younger age, and must be addressed proactively if future generations will be able to reduce the incidents of harassment and sexual abuse in colleges and beyond. Jensen offers the following
recommendations for parents to raise children with compassion: * Children learn by example, so let them join you in volunteer projects or encourage them to get involved in age-appropriate volunteering. * Actively engage them in conversation about behavior that is troubling to you, whether it be playground taunting or headlines in the news. Ask them why that behavior is hurtful. * Inspire children to select friends of all races, creeds and economic status - not just friends who look like them. Exposure to cross-cultural families and friends teaches tolerance and understanding.

* It’s been said before, but is worth emphasizing, that monitoring a child’s exposure to video games, live streaming and television time is one way to reduce exposure to bullying and violent behavior in entertainment. Newscasts are filled with broadcasts of murders, robberies, fires, war, and political corruption. Small children are taking this in and processing it, along with their visions of superheroes. “Adults must become agents for positive daily behaviors that can lead to longterm change,” Jensen says. “The Jensen Project is committed to providing the inspirational resources to help make this happen.”

5 nutritionist tips to start eating and living healthier (BPT) - When you need to ďŹ x your car, learn the latest tech or ďŹ nish a major home improvement, what do you do? You turn to the experts, those with indepth knowledge on how to accomplish these tasks in the most efďŹ cient and effective way. And when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to improve your overall health by focusing on improving your diet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also time to turn to the experts. Nutritionists and registered dietitians are the thought leaders when it comes to improving your eating habits. So to learn from the professionals, we asked Registered Dietitian and nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner to offer her tips on how you can improve your nutrition and start living a healthier life today. She offers this advice: Get organized Your environment can work for you or against you. Having an organized refrigerator can be the key to success on the journey to weight loss. Keep produce where it is easily visible and accessible. Storing foods like hard-boiled eggs, chick-
en breast and roasted vegetables at eye-level can really help to make smarter meal choices. Clear food containers will also help to keep already prepared meals top of mind and lessen food waste, which means saving money in the long run. Practice superfood swaps Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut out food cravings - embrace them! Eat the ďŹ&#x201A;avors that you crave but swap out overly processed stuff for fresh, wholesome ingredients. Avoid products with chemicals, reďŹ ned sugars and ďŹ&#x201A;ours, artiďŹ cial ďŹ&#x201A;avors and preservatives and it will naturally lead to a healthier lifestyle. When you ďŹ ll the house with healthier foods, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll automatically eat smarter when hunger strikes. Eat your â&#x20AC;&#x153;green baseâ&#x20AC;? It can be difďŹ cult to make the right nutrition choices all the time. So when you are eating more decadent food like fried chicken, Chinese or pizza, put it on a base of leafy greens like spinach, spring mix or kale. That way you will get to eat what you want, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ ll up more on your super-
food greens and eat less of the high-calorie foods. Set the table One of the simplest ways to start naturally eating less and enjoying food more is to eat all meals and snacks at the table. When you put food on a plate, eat at a table and sit in a chair youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat much less than if you were eating while working on the computer, watching TV, standing in the fridge or driving! Build a better breakfast A healthy diet starts with a nutritious breakfast. Think whole foods instead of pre-packaged foods high in calories and packed with preservatives. Egglandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best eggs contain double the omega-3s and more than double the vitamin B12 compared to ordinary eggs, which can be perfect for maintaining heart health. They also contain 25 percent less saturated fat, six times more vitamin D and 10 times the vitamin E of ordinary eggs. Plus, they taste great. Get your day started with this amazing recipe and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happier and healthier all day long.
Spinach, Grape Tomato and Cheddar Frittata Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 ounces baby spinach 1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half 8 Egglandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best eggs (large) 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt & pepper to taste 1/4 cup milk Directions Preheat oven to 350 F. Whisk eggs and milk together until smooth. Heat cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and saute spinach until wilted and then add half of the grape tomatoes. Pour eggs slowly into pan. Sprinkle cheese over eggs and spread remaining grape tomatoes evenly over the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Place skillet to oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until eggs are cooked through and golden brown. Remove skillet from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

of s C B A e h T l o o h c s back-to ng bu dgeti (BPT) - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naturall to pack k all ll you can into those few precious summer months, but inevitably theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone before you know it. As summer vacations, sleepovers and outdoor grilling come to a close, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start thinking about going back to school. You may be working to pay off summer vacation bills when you realize you need to budget and pay for your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school supplies, clothing and other related school expenses. To ease rising school costs, here are ďŹ ve budgeting tips that will help you get more for your back-to-school dollar: Create a budget One of the best ways to spend wisely is to create a budget. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already have one, open a new spreadsheet on your computer or get out a pen and paper. Consider all the potential backto-school expenses and not just the obvious ones, such as school supplies and clothing. For example, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to factor in extracurricular or after-school activities, tutoring, special school trips and even lunch costs.
Collaborate with other parents Consider joining parent groups, either through your school or community. These groups can offer a great support network to share ideas and information. They also serve as a fantastic resource for meeting parents who have items such as sports equipment their kids have outgrown or even musical instruments their children no longer play. This can lead to some serious money-saving deals. Tap your coin jar With rising school costs, the old saying that every penny counts really is true. You can literally put this into practice by collecting all the loose change around your house or tucked away in your coin jar. Make a shopping list Most schools provide a back-to-school list to help you plan and shop for your child. Use this as a starting point to make your own list and then stick to it! Retailers are set up to encourage impulse buys, but checking to see if something is or is not on your list is one of the
Victoria Flying Club
most effective ways to avoid purchasing non-essential items and blowing your budget. Embrace the three Rs Your kids will probably learn about the three Rs in school: reduce, reuse, recycle. This is a great principle to keep in mind when getting them ready for school, especially for back-to-school clothes. Choosing quality basics such as a jacket, skirt, sweater or jeans that can be combined with other clothing in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closet will reduce the need for quantity purchases. In addition, consignment stores and online retailers are very popular and offer gently used items that check the â&#x20AC;&#x153;reuseâ&#x20AC;? box. And ďŹ nally, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to take advantage of hand-me-downs, whether from older siblings or friends. Going back to school should be an exciting time for you and your kids. With these ďŹ ve budgeting tips, you can help cut the ďŹ nancial stress out of the process and kick the school year off to a great start.

You are the key to a safer community:
Block Parent Program looking for volunteers LS Andrea Noye, Community Relations MPU Esquimalt Military Police Unit Esquimalt is looking for residents in the three Residential Housing Unit (RHU) areas - Belmont Park/Royal Roads, Work Point, and Rocky Point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to join the Block Parent Program. A Block Parent is an adult wanting to care for the wellbeing of children and others in the community by offering a safe refuge if the need arises. Block Parents have no legal status, except their natural status as private citizens of the community. The Block Parent Program is essential and provides our community with an orga-
nized method of protecting our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, and aiding in the prompt reporting of all emergency situations to the Military Police. Remember for all emergencies, dial 911. To become a Block Parent you must be a responsible citizen, aged 18 years and over who cares about the wellbeing of individuals, especially children, has been screened by the Military Police Unit, and is willing to provide help whenever the Block Parent sign is displayed in your home. Block Parents assist persons in distress by phoning the
emergency 911, and provide a safe place for a child in need. A Block Parent does not always need to have the sign up when at home. If a Block Parent feels like removing the sign then one may do so at any time. All new Block Parents receive instructions on proper procedures. It is essential to the Block Parent Program that the community has maximum involvement and is endorsed and supported by the Military Police Unit. Our goal is to make sure our children know that if something bad happens, help
is nearby. There can never be too many Block Parents in our community. Anyone who would like to become a Block Parent or would like further information about it can contact our Community Relations OfďŹ ce at 250-363-4384 or via the contact page of DIN MPU Esquimalt webpage: http:// esquimalt.mil.ca/mpue/ Contacts. htm or visit www. blockparent.ca

Model Railroad Club The model Railway Club started as an N Scale (1/160) NTRAK modular layout in December 1997. Currently the NTRAK layout is 30 plus feet by 40 plus feet. These modules are continuously updated as new techniques and experiences are gained including Digital Command Control (DCC) systems. The N Scale layout is currently completing conversion to DCC but this does not preclude DC locomotives from being run on the layout. The HO Scale (1/87) modular layout is also 30 plus by 40 plus feet and has completed conversion to DCC. Again this does not preclude DC locomotives from enjoying the wonders of the layout. Some of these modules depict logging operations, mining operations and a
locomotive servicing facility. Both of these layouts have been on public display and have won multiple awards as “Best Operating Layout”, “Favourite Operating Layout”; and “Best Module” at train shows in Victoria and Nanaimo. Our layout at “Christmas in the Village” is the perennial favourite display at the Saanich Historical Artefacts Society Christmas presentation. The Club actively participates each year in the Victoria Train Show, Westshore Town Centre Hobby Show, Nanaimo Regional Train Show, Esquimalt Buccaneer Days, MARPAC Expo and the West Coast Welcome. All Active or retired military members, DND
MARPAC RIDERS / CFB Esquimalt Motorcycle Club The focus of the Club is three-fold: 1. To promote the social aspect of group riding we provide avenues for socializing and participating in group-ride activities, including charity ride events; 2. To assist in you “self-help” repairs we provide limited repair shop facilities and equipment (bike hoist, and fully kitted tool kit), including instructional classes; and, 3. To develop rider skills we provide rider Mentorship training “ride-alongs” with experienced riders that: help members develop group riding skills; help members hone their riding skills in preparation for their motorcycle skills or Class 6 road tests; or, simply enhance their everyday riding skills.

And for those wanting to learn to ride from scratch: We are now affiliated with “Learn to Ride” (a motorcycle training company that teaches new riders), who provide Club members with a discount on training courses. They provide the bikes; you simply provide the enthusiasm to learn. Club members are proud of the CAF, enthusiastic members of the community, and staunchly promote SAFE driving habits. We are motorcycle enthusiasts with a zest for group riding! CAF, DND, Spouse, or Dependant: Regardless of bike type - try us out! To find out more, contact Club President David Wong at wongdh@shaw.ca.
