Pte Ryan Scott is about to start up a fire on top of snow.

Canadian Ranger Oswald (Ozzie) Dyson, Patrol Commander for Churchill Falls Canadian Ranger Patrol, shows Private Ryan Scott, a member of 1st Battalion, Royal New Brunswick Regiment, Fredericton, the proper technique in starting a fire on top of snow. The Canadian Ranger from Churchill Falls assisted on Ex Stalwart Goose in teaching the soldiers survival skills for the far north.

Soldiers from 1st Battalion, Royal New Brunswick Regiment, Edmonston, Fredericton, Grand Falls and St. John New Brunswick, conduct a sovereignty exercise during EXERCISE STALWART GOOSE in Churchill Falls Labrador along with the guidance and assistance of members from the Canadian Rangers (CR) from 5 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (CRPG), Churchill Falls Patrol.

The Eastern Arctic region of Canada continues to be the focus of strategic importance to the Government of Canada and the Canadian Forces (CF) as we fine-tune our capabilities in conducting Sovereignty Exercises (SOVEXs) and Sovereignty Operations (SOVOPs). From this analysis, Churchill Falls, Labrador was chosen for EX SG 10 as it offers the remoteness and limited infrastructure making the conduct of any CF northern operation extremely challenging.
1 Royal New Brunswick Regiment (1RNBR) as the Land force Atlantic Area (LFAA) Arctic Response Company Group (ARCG) toke advantage of this remoteness and incorporate the achievements and lessons learned from EX STALWART GOOSE 09 in conducting this exercise. It is expected that this unit will accomplish the requirements to further develop and refine our arctic war fighting skills whilst fulfilling the task of conducting a SOVEX.

Le Soldat Ryan Scott s’apprete a allumer un feu sur la neige.

Le Ranger canadien Oswald (Ozzie) Dyson, commandant de la patrouille des Rangers canadiens de Churchill Falls, explique au Soldat Ryan Scott, qui fait partie du 1er Bataillon, The Royal New Brunswick Regiment, de Fredericton, la bonne technique pour allumer un feu sur la neige. Le Ranger canadien de Churchill Falls a participe a l’Ex Stalwart Goose; il a ainsi enseigne aux soldats des techniques de survie dans le Grand Nord.

Des membres du 1er Bataillon, The Royal New Brunswick Regiment, d’Edmundston, de Grand Sault, de Fredericton et de Saint-Jean au Nouveau-Brunswick effectuent un exercice de souverainete dans le cadre de l’exercice Stalwart Goose a Churchill Falls, au Labrador, sous la direction et avec l’aide de Rangers qui font partie du 5e Groupe de patrouille des Rangers canadiens (5 GPRC) de Churchill Falls.

La region de l’Arctique de l’Est du Canada revet toujours une importance strategique pour le gouvernement du Canada et les Forces canadiennes (FC), en rapport avec la mise au point de nos capacites de realisation d’exercices de souverainete (SOVEX) et d’operations d’affirmation de la souverainete (SOVOP). Suite a cette analyse, on a choisi la region de Churchill Falls, au Labrador, pour l’Ex SG 10 car elle est eloignee et elle offre une infrastructure restreinte, ce qui rend tres difficile la realisation d’une operation nordique par les FC.

Le 1er Bataillon du Royal New Brunswick Regiment (1 RNBR), en qualite de groupe-compagnie d’intervention dans l’Arctique du Secteur de l’Atlantique de la Force terrestre (SAFT), a tire parti de l’eloignement et a integre les realisations et les lecons retenues de l’Ex Stalwart Goose 09 a l’execution de cet exercice. On prevoit que cette unite permettra de respecter les exigences liees a l’amelioration et au peaufinage de nos capacites de combat dans l’Arctique tout en menant a bien un SOVEX.

Jan Nieuwenhuys was a Dutch painter and one of the early active founders of the Dutch Experimentalists group that later became CoBrA. At age of 14, Nieuwenhuys and his brother, Constant, decided to become painters. From 1938 to 1941 he attended the Rijksnormaalschool in Amsterdam. Later he also took lessons at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. At the Rijksacademie he met Karel Appel and Corneille. During World War II Nieuwenhuys painted almost only clowns, nudes and couples making love.

In 1948 Appel, Corneille, Constant and Jan Nieuwenhuys and others founded the Experimentele Groep Holland that a few months later became the European group CoBrA. During this period Jan's paintings were influenced by dreams, children's drawings, the artistic expressions of mentally handicapped people and primitive art. Animals such as birds and cats play a leading role in most of his works, along with fantastic creatures and beings that are made up of a combination of human, animal and mechanical elements.

His paintings became more and more liberated and he experimented with different materials like fluorescent paint and everything he could get his hands on. Everything could become a painting. In an interview from 1964 he said: "I start with my material and my color. With that I express myself. From the material I come to my subject and that is maybe contrary to what painters did in earlier days. I paint the way I write, the way I laugh. That is why I paint differently all the time, because my moods change. That’s the way I feel."
