Wing Commander’s Column

A message from Colonel Mike Hood

It’s getting that time of season whenposting messages start arriving,house-hunting trips are planned andsome of us at 8 Wing are gettingready to call a new place “home.”

I consider it an exciting time,albeit not without a certain amountof stress, as each new posting posesits own challenges and opportuni-ties. With that in mind, I would liketo share some thoughts on 8 Wing’sgreatest resource – its people.

Now, I have talked on a numberof occasions in this space about thevalue of 8 Wing’s personnel and howtheir maintenance is just as, if notmore, important than the mainte-nance of the machines they operate.I would hope that 8 Wing has founda good balance between operationaltempo and the need for personalgrowth – indeed the command teamat all levels here at the Wing hastried hard to ensure the supportmechanisms are in place so that youall can focus on the mission at hand.I continue to be amazed by the greatthings you accomplish time andagain, and I couldn’t be happier withthe group of COs and unit SWOs

that we have in place right now.And while I would be happy to

keep this great team together, therecomes a time for many of us in uni-form where the best opportunity forpersonal and professional growth liesoutside Trenton. Indeed, the needsof the service often require many ofus to move on after a few years, sothat our experience and talent can beused in other areas requiring aunique skill set or leadership ability.

At the same time, 8 Wing alwaysbenefits from the fresh ideas and theenergy that comes with new person-nel arriving at the Wing.

The Chief of Air Staff has madepersonnel retention one of his per-sonal priorities and the Air Force isworking hard to create the condi-tions that encourage people to con-tinue to serve in uniform. The chal-lenge, as always, is to balance thedesires and needs of the memberwith those of the Air Force and theCanadian Forces.

The Air Force will always try toaccommodate the individual’s needsand desires – and these are as impor-tant considerations now as ever – but

in the end, people will need to gowhere they are needed most, bothfor the good of the Air Force and theCanadian Forces.

I understand and appreciate thatmany of you are seeking greater fam-ily stability – you can never go wrongby putting your family first – and theAir Force leadership is working dili-gently to ensure we get the balanceright. And while it is impossible toensure that everyone gets exactlywhat they hope for, I know for a factthat a great majority of those in uni-form usually do.

We are entering an incrediblyexciting phase in the development ofAir Mobility – we are on the leadingedge of technology, we are trans-forming 8 Wing to better supportaerospace operations, and we haveoutstanding domestic and interna-tional missions to support. But weneed great people to accomplish this– and we need your great talents herein Trenton, but also elsewhere – andwe’ll continue to try and be asresponsive to your individual needsas best we can. It is, after all, the peo-ple that make all the difference.

Cut for the Cure: Clippers are readyby Sgt Dan Gorman

Cancer has no doubt affected each of usin one way or another.

Either you yourself have won thebattle or you have family members orfriends who have managed to beat can-cer or have unfortunately succumbed tothis deadly disease. We can only hopethat a cure is very close.

This, our Second Annual Cut for theCure, has been a tremendous success. Iwould like to thank the WingCommander, Wing AdministrationOfficer, Wing Chief Warrant Officer,unit Commanding Officers andOfficers Commanding for their supportand allowing this event to take place.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didnot take the time to acknowledge allthose who have given their time and,more importantly, their hair to raisefunds for Cancer Research.

An especially big thanks to the ladieswho have volunteered to lose theirlocks…..thanks ladies, you’re a bravebunch…..I would also like to thankAldo Poropat and his staff for donatingtheir time and services.

Our intent was to raise $10,000, andtogether we have made a huge dent inthat number. At this time we have fallenjust short of our goal, but we hope toreach it during the Cut taking place atthe Warrant Officer’s and Sergeant’sMess this afternoon at 1300.

It is with your unselfish support thatthis campaign has turned into the suc-cess it is.

Many thanks to 8 Wing personnel aswell as those from outside our fences,

for digging deep into your pockets todonate to a cause that touches us all, andstay tuned for final results and picturesto be featured in next week’s Contact.

For you ladies who are thinkingabout a new hair style, and any menthinking of adopting a “cooler” look, dome a favour and save that cut for nextyear’s “Cut for the Cure.”

Thanks again everyone, 8 Wing canbe truly proud of their contribution…ITWILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Sergeant Dan Gorman is shown lastyear as Tony Bommarito applies thefinishing touches with his clippers. SgtGorman (along with Corporal DaleTrzop), shaved their heads last yearfor the Canadian Cancer Society rais-ing over $1,200. To date, this year’s Cutfor the Cure campaign has managedto raise over $7,000 for the cause.

Parliamentarians took the time to tiptheir hats to members of the Air Forceon May 12 as part of the third annualAir Force Appreciation Day.

With the help of Senator JosephDay, the Air Force Association ofCanada (AFAC), a non-profit organiza-tion, arranged a tribute in the Senate ofCanada and a reception on the Hill torecognize the effort Air Force personnelinvest into ensuring peace and securityon the national and international stages.

Senator Day kicked off the tribute inthe Senate chamber with a brief state-ment. “It was through great effort, per-severance and bravery that theCanadian Air Force was able to developinto the proud organization that it istoday,” said Senator Day. “It providesmany important services withinCanada, including search and rescueoperations; military security backup formajor events, and the training ofNATO personnel. The CanadianArmed Forces is also very active inter-nationally, including transporting mili-tary personnel, equipment and humani-tarian supplies to many places through-out the world. It is also active in leadingparticipation in NORAD and NATOmissions, including Afghanistan.

Five Air Force members includingLieutenant-General Angus Watt, Chiefof the Air Force, were in attendanceduring the Senate tribute. “It wasincredible,” said Maj Andrew

McCorquodale, one of the Air Forcemembers. “It’s a great honour to be rec-ognized like that.”

That evening, they and other AirForce personnel walked down the mar-ble floors of the Hill’s Centre Block ontheir way to a reception where senatorsand Members of Parliament once againexpressed their appreciation and sup-port for Air Force work.

“I extend our sincere gratitude to ourcountry’s leaders, our country’s special-ists in the aerospace industry, and ourcountry’s finest in uniform. All of youhave played an outstanding role in shap-ing and preparing our Air Force fortoday and tomorrow,” said AFAC’sPresident John Melbourne.

“…It is important…to celebrate theaccomplishments of an organization, anational institution, and indeed, I feel, anational treasure,” added Chief of theAir Staff Lieutenant-General AngusWatt. “We have challenges…but wealso have a great team, good supportfrom parliamentarians, our Minister,our government and the people ofCanada.”

Member of Parliament andParliamentary Secretary to the Ministerof National Defence, Laurie Hawn(Edmonton Centre), agreed, saying,“The job Air Force does is incredible.[It] is alive and well, and doing what itscountry needs it to do around the world.The Air Force is an intricate part ofwhat Canada is and what Canada does;my hat is off to you.”

1979 – The CFB Trenton Golf Club (now Roundel Glen) was openedofficially for the season this week with a pre-first-tee champagne toast.It was reported to be a rather chilly May morning, but that didn’t stopBrigadier General Mackenzie, Commander ATG, BGen Oxholm,Commander CFTS, Colonel Russell, Commander 8 Wing and ColonelGray, club president from being the first foursome to play.

1989 – The Military Police Detachment, 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, askedthe residents of Middleton Park to help them tackle the ongoing prob-lem of vehicle speeding by teaching children to be extra cautious, advis-ing adults to observe speed limits while driving themselves and report-ing problem drivers. Speeders were warned to WAKE UP AND REC-OGNIZE THE FACTS!

1999 – An 8 Wing/CFB Trenton Search and Rescue crew rescued aman in Oswego, New York after his private plane had crashed. It tookthe crew only 30 minutes to locate the downed Piper-22 in a woodedarea, but there was no sign of human movement. Parachuting to thecrash site, SAR Techs stabilized the pilot who had suffered multiplefractures, including a broken neck, until he could be evacuated to hos-pital.

The letter “s” has causedno small amount of con-fusion here at 8Wing/CFB Trenton.

You’re probably won-dering how one little let-ter could cause such con-fusion. To this, I answer:It often doesn’t knowwhere it belongs!

Take Baker Island, forinstance. There is no “s”,except for the one in theword “Island.” Yet manypeople (and even somesigns) say “Baker’sIsland”, or even “BakersIsland or Bakers’ Island.”

And it doesn’t endthere. Squadron obviouslyhas an “s” but many peo-ple mistakenly leave outthe “s” when referring to 2Air MovementsSquadron. Squadron COMajor Spott put it bestwhen he said to me, “Wedon’t just move once, butmany, many times.” Andto muddy the waters a lit-tle bit more, the shortform/abbreviation forthat squadron is: 2 AirMov Sqn (no “s” in sight!)

Next up are the mess-es. The Officers’ Mess, forexample, is not the“Officer’s Mess” becauseit is not just for one offi-cer but for all officers.Same goes for the othertwo messes.

I could go on, but Iwon’t do that to you, butbeware of those “esses.”They are seriously slip-pery.

With every Victoria Day long weekendcomes the ‘opening’. We open the gardenshops, we open the cottage, we open thegolf courses, and for historians we openhistorical museums and sites.

In this case it was the 71st opening ofFort Henry in Kingston and a myriad ofother area museums were invite toattend. And attend they did, numberedamong the many in attendance was theNational Air Force Museum of Canada(NAFMC) and a few of its board ofdirectors – Ole Johansen, ElizabethConstantine, and LCol Debbie Miller.

In case you don’t know about FortHenry here are a few tidbits: the originalFort Henry was built during the War of1812 (1812 to 1814), between GreatBritain (Canada being at that time aBritish colony) and the United States ofAmerica, and bears no resemblance tothe existing fort. During the War of1812, the British anticipated an attackon Point Henry due to its proximity tothe Royal Navy Dockyards (at the site ofthe present-day Royal Military College)and to the mouth of the St. LawrenceRiver.

The loss of this vital trading routewould have cut off communicationbetween Kingston and everything to theeast of the city.

Between 1832 and 1837, a secondfort was built on the site of the first, andit is this fort that stands here today. Itwas considered even more necessary tofortify this point after the War of 1812,due to the completion of the Rideau

Canal (built from 1826 to 1832), placingPoint Henry at the intersection of threeimportant waterways: the Rideau Canal,the St. Lawrence River, and LakeOntario.

Fort Henry was intended to be thelinchpin in a new, extensive system ofdefensive works for the defence of theconfluence of these trading routes.Because the Rideau Canal went overbudget only the fort and four Martellotowers, spaced along the Kingstonwaterfront, were completed.

Nonetheless, Fort Henry is thelargest fortification west of Quebec City.The fort alone cost 70,000 Britishpounds sterling to construct, the equiva-lent of $35,000,000 in present Canadiandollars.

The fort was abandoned by theBritish Army in 1870, and was gar-risoned by Canadian troops until 1891.The fort subsequently fell into disrepairuntil 1936.

It was then restored under the direc-tion of Ronald L. Way as a living historymuseum. The fort was first opened as amuseum on the 1st of August 1938. FortHenry is both a museum and a spectac-ular historic site along with the RideauCanal it has been designated aUNESCO World Heritage Site.

Members of the NAFMC went topromote the heritage and the collectionof the Air Force Museum and did sowith a very informative and interactivedisplay, answering all the inquiries of theday from the numerous visitors (whotook refuge in the display hall from theweather).

We were very surprised to learn that

many, who stopped by, did not know thatthe NAFMC was just down the road,the Fort Henry Curator included. In theMuseum the long and proud history ofCanada’s Air Forces is preservedand publicized.

The Museum displays aircraft, arte-facts and equipment but, most impor-tantly, tells of the wonderful contribu-tions made by our men and women inmilitary aviation.

It is the only one in Canada, whichdepicts the complete history ofCanada’s Air Force rather than that ofspecific units and activities. The displaysstart with the Canadian involvement inthe Royal Flying Corps and the Royal

Air Force in the First World War andinclude the Canadian Air Force periodfrom 1920-24, the RCAF from 1924until the integration of the CanadianForces in 1968, the “Air Element” whichfollowed, and the Air Force of today.

It was also a great opportunity tointroduce and promote the upcoming‘Anniversary Weekend’ on July 4 and 5,to Kingstonians.

As we are just down the road fromKingston, we can rest assured that wewill have visitors from Kingston and theIslands that weekend.

Most of the visitors we spoke too lastweekend were definitely considering thehour’s drive west to Trenton this July.

Victoria Day long weekend a milestone moment for many

As the 8 Wing Pipe Majorsince 2007, WO Alderman isresponsible for the 8 WingPipes and Drums, a volunteerband comprised of approxi-mately 45 military and civilianmusicians. The band providesmusical support for all parades,honour ceremonies, repatria-tions and other functions asneeded.

In order to effectively dothis, WO Alderman must beknowledgeable in the traditionsand history of his trade –something he prides himself in– so he is able to provideappropriate, professional sup-port at any time.

“Being a military piperinvolves being knowledgeableabout military traditions andupholding them,” says PipeMajor Alderman. “When Iplay, whether with my band oralone, I always represent a longline of proud military pipers.These are people who playedand fought in both WorldWars, so I have a responsibilityto ensure that both I, and myband, live up to that standard. Iam inspired by knowing Iuphold the same traditions as

those of Piper JamesRichardson, who was awardeda Victoria Cross in 1916.”

In addition to his passionfor these traditions, Pipe MajorAlderman also enjoys havingopportunities to represent theCanadian Forces. He has doneso not only to the Canadianpublic, but also to internationalheads of states, such as theQueen, United StatesPresident Bill Clinton, and theKing and Queen of Norway.He has also represented the CFall over Europe and inSeptember 2007 was given theopportunity to play in Moscow.

“Two of the most signifi-cant experiences in my careerhave been playing at theEdinburgh Military Tattootwice and in Moscow,” he adds.“When you come out playingand there are over 10,000 peo-ple cheering and there is theKremlin or Edinburgh Castlebehind you, it is impossible notto be proud to be representingthe Canadian Forces.”

Pipe Major Alderman ismarried and has two childrenaged 10 and 7. In his sparetime he can be found coachingchildren’s soccer.

In addition to being the 8Wing Pipe Major, he also playsas part of the 400 SquadronCompetition Pipe Band inToronto.

FeatureMay 22, 2009

Well, we are down to the FinalFour folks. I must admit I amreasonably happy with my .500record in Round Two afterpicking the Detroit RedWings (big whoop) and theCarolina Hurricanes (snipe!)to advance.

On the negative side of theledger I am still smarting fromthe Canucks bowing out to theBlackhawks in 6 games, as ismost of British Columbia.

Surprisingly, I am none toupset at the Capitals GameSeven loss to the Pens,although the actual game itselfwas a clunker in comparison tothe six insane matches thatpreceded it.

Too bad for AlexanderOvechkin and company, butWashington fans can take sol-ace in the fact that the Capsare still a very young team andwith AO, Semin, Backstrom,Green and Varlamov at theircore, the future is very brightindeed.

Now, I have already freelyadmitted that I am, in manyways, a petty, vindictive littleman. So it should come as nosurprise to anyone that I was soecstatic at Carolina’s GameSeven OT win that the missusactually ventured into thebasement to ask me if I hadswitched allegiance from mybeloved Habs to theHurricanes.

She should have known

better. At this time of year it isnot as much a matter of cheer-ing for a team (especially if youare a Leafs fan) as it is cheeringagainst a team.

And I was definitely root-ing against the Boston Bruins.And Pierre McGuire. SeeingMillie Lucic and companytrudge off to their dressingroom in utter disbelief follow-ing Scott Walker’s suddendeath marker was especiallyglorious as I knew that the oldPierre would no longer be ableto endlessly gush about CamNeely Part II. Sweet, sweet,relief.

And not to pull a DonCherry or anything, but I didpreviously compare this year’sBruins team to last year’sHabs. I also picked the ‘Canesin Seven games. That suddenchill you feel is hell freezingover. I am sure a Maple LeafStanley Cup Parade can’t betoo far behind.

I am thinking that the waythings are shaping up down inthe desert in the Bettman andBalsillie battle over thePhoenix Coyotes that theNHL should probably lookinto a Pay-Per-View Event.

In other words, this is goingto get uglier and uglier thelonger it drags on.Unfortunately for the NHLand Gary Bettman, win orlose, they are looking at thehind end of public relations

disaster. A win means theCoyotes will remain inPhoenix, mooching off theNHL to survive in a marketthat obviously cannot supportthem while the League is fur-ther seen as alienating theirmost dedicated fan base northof the border.

A loss may or may notresult in the franchise movingbefore the start of the2009/2010 season, although itwill very definitely call intoquestion the NHL’s ability tocontrol and conduct its ownaffairs (there is a reason theNFL, NBA and MLB all linedup in support of the NHL forthis court fight).

Oh, and Bettman and com-pany will still be seen as beinganti-Canadian for fightingBalsillie in court. Good timesall around at the League’sHead Office

WESTERN CONFERENCE

Detroit Red Wings (2) vs.Chicago Blackhawks (4): OK, Imay tune in for a couple gamesof this series.

I had not watched toomany Blackhawks’ games priorto the Vancouver series, but themore I saw of them the more Idisliked them. No, I don’t carethat Kane and Toews are lead-ing a bunch of carefree younglads, full of spirit and blah,blah, blah. It’s hard to explain

why, really. Call it a gut feel. Now, to be

honest I am not that enthralledwith the Wings either, butexperience trumps youth mostdays and Detroit has a rosteroverflowing with playoff expe-rience (and yes, I do not liketeenagers or anyone under theage of 20 for that matter. I havebecome my Grandfather.

Break out the prune juiceand the Golden Girls reruns).

If you are a Chicago fan,you know what I would findparticularly scary? Several ofDetroit’s big guns still have notfound their stride. WhenDatsyuk and Hossa finallywake up, watch out. Detroit infive. Easy.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Pittsburgh Penguins (4) vs.

Carolina Hurricanes (6): Iwould love to be able to pickthe ‘Canes to take this series. Ireally would. But I can’t.

I am pretty sure that myhatred of the B’s was single-handedly willing Carolina tovictory and now that Bostonhas been bounced, I simplydon’t dislike the Pens enoughto keep the streak alive.

Now don’t get me wrong,though, I am not President ofthe Penguins fan club and real-ly could care less if theyadvanced or not.

But at the end of the daythey are just too deep a teamand too healthy (with theexception of Gonchar) toreceive a beat down at thehands of Carolina.

Cam Ward will steal a cou-ple of Games but the Pens willwin in six.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION & MEDIATION SERVICE

by Ken McDonald, Chef d’EquipeCF CISM Men’sVolleyball

The expression “nobody will rememberwho came in second” will not apply tothe Canadian Forces CISM Men’sVolleyball Team who will long remem-ber a recently captured silver at theCanadian National Championship inCalgary from May 8 to 10, 2009.

Throughout the round robin, ourteam battled against former and currenttop CIS and former national teammembers to squeak in a third place fin-ish and earning a spot in the semi finals.

Having previously lost to the secondplace University of Calgary Dinos, therewas little doubt the guys would need toplay exceptionally well for a chance tomake history and play for Gold. In milddisbelief, the team found themselves uptwo sets ahead of a very strong Dinoteam, only to falter a bit to lose thethird.

Outstanding passing and outsidehitting by Cpl Ivan Karin, 2Lt GordLee and the ever present Cpl JohnReady flying out of the back row madekill after kill.

Sensing a victory in the fourth set,team captain and veteran setter, CplDennis Noel, continued to challengethe Dino’s block with some excellent setselections to middle players 2Lt ConorMurphy and Cpl Eric Sirois. Each timethe team seemed to be losing momen-tum, Libero, Capt Guillaume Tremblaywould come up with a spectacular dig,re-energizing everyone’s efforts.

Huge support from Lt(N) Mike StPierre, 2Lt Matt Lorrain, OCdt BobbyHartzell and OCdt Simon Dakin madeit easy for Coaches Mr. Denis Gabouryand Capt Craig Johnston to rest startersthroughout the tournament. With his-tory a mere few points away, a final pushwas all it took for a chance to play in theFinals and the guys were not to bedenied. A dream was now a reality.

The Sunday afternoon Final wouldnot go as well however. With the addi-tion of several players to the opponents’

roster not seen in round robin play, theCISM team was to fall in three straightsets to a very strong and experiencedAlberta Club team, which consisted ofmany of the Country’s top players.Despite a somewhat disheartening fin-ish, Coach Denis Gaboury was verypleased with everyone’s tournamentperformance.

“This is a historical moment for theCISM Men’s Volleyball program”, saidDenis. “I am very proud of the Team.“

This was indeed a proud moment.For a group who can only practicetogether a few times a year, a silvermedal at the prestigious CanadianOpen is an accomplishment few teamsget to enjoy.

While the team has competed inProvincial and NationalChampionships since the early 90s,

their best finish at a National tourna-ment was fourth in Ottawa in 2002.

The team physiotherapist, Capt DanTrudel, should be equally proud. Histreatment of some very sore athletes anda few minor injuries was key to our play-er’s great performance. Capt Trudel’stalents were also put to good use treat-ing a few serious injuries to players fromother teams. Kudos to you, Dan.

Special mention goes to theVolleyball Patron, BGen John Collin,for taking the time out of his very busyschedule to support the team in Calgaryis equally warranted. We sincerelyappreciated your support, Sir.

The Canadian Nationals was but astepping stone in this year’s schedule asthe team now prepares for the 30thCISM World Military VolleyballChampionship.

This year’s event will be held in Riode Janeiro, Brazil from June 20 to 30,2009. There are also plans for a pre-tournament training camp at the USMarine Corps Base in Cherry Point,North Carolina with our AmericanCISM friends.

The CF CISM Volleyball Programis always looking for new talent withinthe Regular and Reserve Force for boththe men’s and women’s teams.

If you feel you have the leadershipand volleyball experience needed toattend one of our selection camps, wewould very much like to hear from you.

All contact information is availablethrough the CISM website atwww.cismcanadateams.com

Many thanks to all those who havesupported the team throughout this sea-son.

Have you ever watched the delugeof rain from a major summer stormflood the tarmac and parking lotsof 8 Wing/CFB Trenton and won-dered where all that water goes?

Thanks to the recently builtdrainage swale in the southeast cor-ner of the base, that accumulatedwater now flows effectively towardsthe Bay of Quinte in a very envi-ronmentally-friendly way.

In simple terms, the 8 Wingswale is an engineered valley withsloping rock and grass sides, thatallows “vegetation by design” togrow along its earthen floor, whilechannelling water away from theoperations of the base.

Its larger purpose is to grab therainfall from a ‘100-year storm’ andget it back to Lake Ontario withoutpolluting the larger body of water.

“In reality, a 100-year stormactually happens about once every20 years or so,” said Drew Craig, 8Wing Environmental Officer. “Ifyou think about how much raincomes down on the apron in a bigstorm, and the fact that the waterwill carry fuel residue with it whenit drains away, it became apparentto us that we needed a drainagevehicle to whisk it away quickly

and responsibly.”Craig, engineer Myron

Thiessen (1 Canadian AirDivision) and Andrew Mack(Environmental Team Leader,Defence Construction Canada)collaborated with a consultant todesign and build a swale to replacethe former Caribou Ditch; one thatwould drain the apron, hangar areasand entire south side of the base“without creating a habitat forbirds.” It also had to trap oils, greaseand other chemicals draining intothe swale with rainwater.

“The bulk of the storm watertreatment, as per Ontario provin-cial requirements, is accomplishedby the stormcepter unit designed by1 Canadian Air Division,” Macksaid. “The unit treats oils, and alsofilters sediments from storm waterthat sheds from the southeastapron.”

The stormceptor is a patentedreservoir of replaceable bafflesdesigned to trap pollutants like avi-ation fuel and oil.

“We have an excellent trackrecord at 8 Wing and have very fewfuel or oil spills, but we have to beprepared,” Craig said. “TheCaribou Ditch was designed for adifferent era and set of circum-stances. Now that we have much

more asphalt, there is less waterbeing absorbed into the surround-ing soil, so there is a definite needto deal with runoff properly.”

Mack said the swale utilizesfeatures such as “a meandering low-flow channel and riffle-poolsequences” (an oxygenating device)to improve fish habitat.

“Both of these aspects wererequirements from the Departmentof Fisheries and Oceans,” he said.“In fact, with these elements imple-mented, the swale provides greaterhabitat potential than the originalCaribou Ditch.”

Mack said the 8 Wing swalewas designed to mimic a naturalflood plain to “store” water frommajor storms and then release itslowly into the Bay of Quinte, butwith a protective catch.

“It doesn’t pool water for longperiods which would create a con-cern for waterfowl activity in closeproximity to the flight line,” hesaid. “The low-flow channel isdesigned to provide continuousflow and discharge to MeyersCreek without prolonged storage.”

The great swale is just one moreexample of how this base is dedi-cated to “greening the Wing.”

“There is simply no better wayto do this,” Craig said.

Environmentally responsible drainage: A swale of a tale

The 8 Wing/CFB Trenton drainage swale is located at the southeast corner of the base, moving stormwater from the flight line, and the entire south side of the base through an environmentally-friend-ly channel. It is also designed to remove any oils trapped in runoff.

While the 8 WingCommand Post stood up torespond to the fictitiouscrash, a similar commandpost was set up at theVeridian building inBelleville.

Emergency responsepersonnel from both theCounty of Hastings and theCity of Belleville, includingfirefighters, paramedics andsocial services workers, con-verged on Loyalist College.

By 3 p.m. the exercisecontrollers called an end tothe scenario, while munici-pal leaders deemed theexercise a success.

“This provided atremendous opportunity tobring together our emer-gency responders to helpensure an efficient andcoordinated effort in theevent of a real disaster,” saidCity of Belleville MayorNeil Ellis.

An after-action sessionwas held the next day, wherelessons-learned were col-lected and discussed.

Emergency responsepersonnel for all participat-ing organizations said theyplan to further coordinateand refine procedures inorder to create an evensmoother response in theevent of a real emergency.

Members of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton and civilian emergency response personnel participated in a collaborative emergencyresponse exercise – a simulated plan crash – at Loyalist College on May 13, 2009. A CC130 Hercules aircraft was used in theexercise, and because the simulated crash took place on civilian property, local emergency personnel from Hastings Countyand the City of Belleville, joined 8 Wing/CFB Trenton personnel in this important training exercise, helping to foster effectiveworking relationships between the various governmental and non-governmental organizations involved.

8 Wing Administration Officer

While most of you were out tending to yourgardens and lawns this past long weekend Idecided to head over to the Wing’s largestlawn to hit a few balls – the Golf Course orRoundel Glen (newly named).

With the retirement of long time man-ager Bob Hedley, I don’t have to worry toomuch about the divots – I just have toremember to replace them.

Golf is an old word, one that firstappeared in our written language in about1425. One theory says the word golf derivesfrom the Dutch word kolf, a generic term fora stick, club or mallet used in a number ofgames similar to tennis, hurling, croquet, andhockey.

However, according to the OxfordEnglish Dictionary, claiming the Dutchword kolf as the origin of golf is problematic.Another theory ascribes golf to the Scottishgoulf (also gowf), a verb meaning “to strike orcuff ”.

This theory would at least place the ori-gin of the word with the people who invent-ed the game. As for “striking or cuffing,” anintegral part of the game is, after all, hittingthe ball. In older Scottish writings, golf isvariously spelled as gouff, goiff, goffe, goff,gowff, and golph.

Our modern determination to have onlyone correct spelling for each word wouldhave struck our ancestors as hilariouslypedantic and priggish (my twenty-five centwords).

Games similar to golf have been aroundsince Roman times – which accounts for theone-day workweek and six-day weekends.But golf as we now know it dates approxi-mately to 1552, when the famed St.Andrews course was constructed.

As for this ‘acronym’ – gentlemen only;ladies forbidden, it seems to see a societalshift in the nature of who now plays thegame.

Women now take as many trips aroundthe links as do their male counterparts andgolf has grown to be a pastime for all.

As for me, it is not a pastime but a cer-tain source of frustration chasing around thislittle white ball – in the woods, in the ponds,in the sand traps, and the every present longgrass.

But this season we have moved to dragthe course out of its checkered past and intothe 21st century where it belongs, alongsideall the other golf courses in the area. InJanuary 2009 came the opportunity for theWing Fund to hire a concessionaire to man-age the course and move club along in con-cert with Club President Ken Bailey.

So with all the new changes, John Caseyand the gang are working to bring the courseout of debt and add to the coffers of theWing Fund (of benefit to all Wing person-nel).

They have also brought with them newretailing skills for the ProShop, DrivingRange, and the Restaurant – The Landing.It should be noted that Roundel Glen man-aged to lure away the chef from TimberRidge – Doug Galt, and what a find.

If you haven’t eaten at The Landing, Isuggest you give it a try you won’t be disap-pointed. So the next time you’re planninglunch at Kelsey’s or Rumors or Tomasso’s, Ichallenge you to give the menu at TheLanding a browse. And no you don’t have tobe a member of the golf club to enjoy thedaily fare.

Another exciting addition to the Club isthe ‘Kids Golf Program’, presently there are32 children from the Wing registered tolearn the game and play a few rounds.

Roundel Glen continues its tradition ofhosting the ‘Soldier On’ Celebrity GolfTournament on June16, in support of injuredsoldiers, with all proceeds going to the cause.

This is one of the Wing’s two main char-ities it supports throughout the year, theother being the Government CombinedCharities, formerly known as the UnitedWay.

This year’s Soldier On Tournament isplanned for June and is presently 75 per centsold-out, so if you were planning on sup-porting this very worthwhile cause that sup-ports ‘us’, please give the ProShop a call at613-392-1544.

On the night prior to the tournament,( June 15 at 1900hrs), Roundel Glen is host-ing a ‘Comedy Evening’ out at the clubhousefeaturing Johnny Guardhouse and DaveHemstad. Tickets $10 in advance and $12 atthe door. Come out and support a greatcharity.

Remember: “The only thing a golferneeds is more daylight.”

The British Beat BoxBoiz are not likely afamiliar musical duo formost readers; but with alittle help from their 8Wing/CFB Trentonfriends, these two cre-ative Belleville teenscould win a $5,000 edu-cation scholarship.

Greg and GraemeMurphy are the 17-year-old twin sons ofLieutenant Colonel DaveMurphy and his wife,Jane. Preparing to gradu-ate from St. TheresaCatholic SecondarySchool in Belleville, theMurphy “boiz” are aboutto face the same chal-lenge thousands of theirpeers experience everyyear: how to find enoughmoney to fund that col-lege or university educa-tion.

Part of the fundingsolution could comefrom a rap video contestsponsored by CollegesOntario. The “It’s allabout M.E. (MyEducation)” tour hadteams of videographerscrisscrossing the provincefrom March 23 throughMay 12, 2009, filmingthe talents of high schoolhopefuls. At stake is a$5,000 education schol-arship.

The M.E. Tour cameto Belleville on April 15,sharing informationabout post-secondaryeducation and offeringcontest-registered stu-dents a chance to shoot avideo, in their perform-ance style, using lyricsprovided by the Ministry.

Videos were thenuploaded to the search-able M.E. site, whereviewers are encouraged tovote for their favouritefilm.

He, she or they who

get the most votes maywin the cash, subject toanswering a skill-testingquestion correctly.Colleges Ontario urgesthe winner(s) to applythe prize money totuition or other directeducation expenses.

Speaking for the pair,Greg said they had heardand read about the M.E.contest, but hadn’t givenmuch thought to enter-ing until being urged todo it by fellow students,and even a school admin-istrator.

Those people hadbecome fans of the beatbox style of musiclearned by the Murphytwins during theirfather’s most recent post-ing to the UnitedKingdom.

“We had received alot of positive feedbackfrom friends about ourbeat boxing,” Greg said.“Graeme and I had per-formed at school and at alocal coffee house, but itwasn’t until our principalsuggested we do a beatbox video that we decid-ed to enter the contest.”

“Literally, we were upin front of the micro-phone within a matter ofminutes of the principalsuggesting it,” he said.“It’s quite exciting. Wewould really like to thankeveryone who’s voted forus.”

Greg and Graemestepped up to the micro-phone, and put their bestbeat box voices forwardduring the April 15 tap-ing at St. Theresa’s school.

They’re happy withthe results, Greg said,and hopeful that viewerswill like it enough to votefor them … often.

“I think we came upwith one of the most cre-ative approaches,” hesaid, “but we have alsolooked at other videos

submitted from acrossthe province, and some ofthem are very impres-sive.”

by Capt Michelle Dagenais424 T & R Squadron

424 (Transport and Rescue) Squadronran their annual Search and Rescue(SAR) exercise, known as “Tiger Ex”, atthe Barrie-Simcoe Regional airport, inBarrie, Ontario from May 4 to 7.

The ultimate goal of this exercise isto move the squadron to a deployedlocation to conduct a simulated majorsearch.

The Barrie-Simcoe RegionalAirport was selected, due to its proxim-ity to great land and marine trainingareas. A hangar was utilized at the air-port to house all facets of a SARsquadron. All members worked togeth-er to create an environment that wouldfacilitate running an actual full-scalesearch, which included an Admin andOperations section, SearchHeadquarters, an area for Next of Kin,and a chute repacking area, to name afew.

Moreover, the remaining space inthe hangar was used to store the neces-sary SAR equipment needed for thecrews of both the CH146 Griffon andthe CC130 Hercules.

The CH146 and the CC130 tookpart in simulated day search scenarios,as well as a simulated Major AirDisaster (MAJAID), which incorporat-ed intensive medical exercises for theSAR techs.

In addition, the training scenarios

were further enriched with the involve-ment of the Canadian Coast Guard, theBarrie Police and “The Civil Air Searchand Rescue Association” (CASARA).Additionally, a Squadron Search Master(SM) was upgraded and two AssistantSMs, plus Joint Rescue CoordinationCentre ( JRCC) personnel, wereemployed and trained throughout theexercise. This was vital in maintainingthe pool of qualified personnel forsquadron use in the event of an actualmajor search.

Many other 8 Wing/CFB Trentonunits were instrumental in this exercise.424 Squadron would like to thank theJoint Rescue Coordination Centre( JRCC), 436 Transport Squadron, 2 AirMovements Squadron (2 AMS),Canadian Forces Network OperationCentre (CFNOC), 8 Air MaintenanceSquadron (8 AMS), and 8 AirCommunication and Control Squadron( 8 ACCS), for their contribution to thesuccess of this deployment.

Even with the CC130 beinglaunched on a real SAR mission inQuebec, most training objectives weremet. All members of the squadron ben-efitted from the full-scale deployment,including our newly appointedHonorary Colonel, HCol EdRobertson, who flew in on his ownplane to join us at our post-exercisesquadron dinner. This made for a verynice conclusion to an excellent and pro-ductive week.
