artists, the Moffatts, are
back together and will be
performing their first live
shows on Canadian Pacific
Railway’s Holiday Train,
which will make a special
appearance for families of 8
Wing / CFB Trenton and
the wider Quinte West area
at 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 6, at
the railway crossing on
R.C.A.F Rd. north of the
base.
This is the sixth year
that CPR’s Holiday Train
program will be taking to
the rails in support of local
food banks. Two freight
trains, each illuminated by
thousands of festive lights
and equipped with a stage
car for live musical performances, will visit more than
75 communities in Canada
and the United States, raising money and support for
those forced to turn to food
banks.
This year, the base has
teamed up with the CPR to
arrange a Holiday Train stop
for military members and
their families, who are
strong supporters of food
banks. Civilian residents of
the Quinte West area are
also welcome to attend, and
everyone is encouraged to
bring along donations of
non-perishable food items if
they wish. The Trenton
Care and Share Food Bank
will retain any items
brought to the site for distribution locally.
“This promises to be a
fun event, that the kids will

(Above) Master Warrant Officer Kevin Gillis was the presiding judge at the
November 5 United Way drive to “jail your boss.” After examining the charge
report, he passed appropriate judgement on the Wing Logistics and
Engineering Officer (WLEO), Lieutenant Colonel Elliot Gould. At right, His
Honour passed judgement on Major Paul Fleury (United Way Chairperson),
who served a good two hours behind bars. A total of 70 people were “locked
up” throughout the day. Up next for the fundraising campaign is a final AllYou-Can-Eat-Spaghetti and Pizza Luncheon, slated for Friday, November 19
at the Cadet Dining Facility at the Yukon Galley, and then there is the muchanticipated Battle of the Bands set for November 26. Maj Fleury acknowledged the ongoing efforts of the many canvassers and urges them to continue their fine work as the wing/base is only 28 per cent canvassed to date.

“It could be pretty

GOING DIRECTLY TO JAIL
Photo: Cpl PE Whitehead
Personnel from 8 Air Maintenance Squadron participated in the
United Way “Jail and Bail” on 5 Nov 04, ensuring that a couple of
“bosses” were arrested, including Sgt R. Turpin of the 8 AMS
General Safety/Environmental Section and WO S. Roy of the 8
AMS QM/General Safety/Environmental Section. The personnel
of these sections hope their bosses have learned their lesson
and will not recommit their crimes against the CO of 8 AMS and
us. Sgt Turpin’s crime was “talking too loudly during the CO’s
briefing,” and WO Roy’s crime was “his feeble attempt at registering a CAR. Pictured above is Sgt Turpin being taken away by
Wing Transport personnel for his “incarceration.” Thanks to all
who participated, both accusers and accused, for helping to
raise much-needed funds for the United Way.

Pride, integrity, professionalism
by Cmre R. Matheson
On a rain-drenched, cold Sunday morning, February
13, 1859, a retired Crimean War captain, Edward
Walter, led eight Crimean War veterans through the
streets of London, England to Westminster Abbey,
where they prayed, gave thanks and thus consecrated
the birth of what was to become known as the Corps
of Commissionaires—an organization dedicated to
helping veterans with the difficult transition back to
civilian life and employment.
Over the years, the organization became well
known in England, employing thousands of veterans.
The then Governor General of Canada, Sir Victor
Cavendish, was so impressed with the Corps in
England that he proposed the formation of a Corps
in Canada shortly after WWI, but it wasn’t until
1925 that the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires
was established. Today, the Corps has over 18,000
members with representation in all provinces and
territories.
For more than 50 years, members of the
Canadian Corps of Commissionaires have played
important roles at CFB Trenton. This longevity led
many people to believe that the Corps is an agency
of the federal government, when in fact it is not. The
Corps is a private, self-supporting, not-for-profit
organization, continuing the proud tradition started
more than a century and a half ago.
The 8 Wing detachment of the Corps is headquartered in Kingston, Ontario and currently has 21
full/part time commissionaires attached to the base,
along with 19 spares. Mountain View is also included in the detachment with four full time employees
and one spare.
The Corps works directly for the Military Police
Squadron, assisting them in maintaining a safe and
secure workplace. In this support capacity, commissionaires are tasked in such areas as MP dispatching,
administrative support, security, identification, flight
passenger screening, aircraft security as well as gate
access security, pass control plus much, much more.
The men and women of the Corps take professional pride in the services they provide, their reliability and their integrity. They are honoured to be a
part of CFB Trenton’s history and look forward to a
continued support relationship into the future.
During this time of remembrance, the 8 Wing commissionaires join together with base personnel in
honouring and paying homage to those who gave the
ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires: Service—
Reliability—Integrity.

Author pays visit to Museum
by Laurie McVicar
Assistant Editor
Photo by Bob House Photography
Author Barbara Hehner
made a special appearance
at the RCAF Memorial
Museum on November 4
to promote her new book
“The Tunnel King: The
True Story of Wally
Floody and the Great
Escape.”
Hehner, accompanied
by museum volunteer
Gary Robson, made a
presentation to grade 7
and 8 students from
Breadner Public School,
detailing the life of a
Canadian hero and his
participation in one of the
most famous escapes of
World War II.
“(Wally) was born in
Chattam, Ontario and
grew up in Toronto. He
had a pretty happy, normal
upbringing,” said Hehner.
“Then something happened that changed the
lives of everybody – the
outbreak of World War II,
which lasted from 1939
until 1945.”
Floody joined the
RCAF at the age of 21
and trained as a fighter
pilot in Canada and, later,
in England.
“After all that he was
hardly in the war at all,”
said Hehner. “He was in
combat in October 1941.
It was the first time that
he saw enemy planes and
he was shot down from
behind. His plane was on
fire and he had only a few
seconds to get out and
parachute to the ground.
He was actually one of the
lucky ones who made it
safely to the ground.”
His luck did not last
long, however. Floody was
captured almost immediately by Nazi troops.
“Wally was taken to
(Stalag Luft III), a prisoner of war camp…The
prisoners lived in long
huts and they slept on
bunk beds.They had light,
they had heat and they
were fed.”
After arriving at the
camp, Wally became
involved in the “X organization” - a group of Allied
airmen joined together to
accomplish a single mission…escape.
Canadian
soldiers
received kits occasionally
from the Red Cross, full
of sundry items such as
chocolate bars and powdered milk. The milk cans
turned out to be a vital
part of the escape and
used to dig and circulate
air inside the tunnel.
“Wally became such a
key figure in the escape.
He had been a miner
before the war and had
worked two summers for a
mine
in
Northern
Ontario,” said Hehner.
“So, he became the
designer and the main
digger of the three tunnels
(dubbed Tom, Dick and
Harry).”

“Harry” became the
route of escape for 79 men
on the night of March 24.
Floody, who had been
transferred to another
camp two days prior, was
not among them. It was a
setback that likely saved
his life. Most of the men
were recaptured shortly
after their break out of
Stalag Luft III and, upon
orders from Hitler, faced
harsh penalties. Fifty of
the escapees, including six
Canadians, were executed.
In addition to “The
Tunnel King,” Hehner has
authored several other
children’s books including
“Journey to Ellis Island”,
“ M a m m o t h ” ,
“Sabertooth” and “Cave
Bear” from the Ice Age
series, “First on the Moon”
and “The Spirit of
Canada: Canada’s Story in

collaborated with science

Yes, more change
yields more stability
Money
it’s

$
Garth Turner
A lot can happen in a
week these days. George
W won an election the
mainstream media had
already given to the
other guy. The Canadian
dollar soared to the
highest level in more
than a dozen years. The
stock market--at least
the American markets-rallied in post-election
euphoria. The Middle
East teetered on chaos
as Chairman Arafat
declined
and
as
American troops massed
for an attack in Iraq.
This is all major
stuff, and there will be
an impact on most people’s investments as a
result. The higher dollar,
for example, is horrible
news to manufacturers
and exporters who are
now incredibly less competitive than they were
when the loonie was
worth little more than
60 cents. If it sticks, this
will have a negative
impact on the economy.
As for George Bush
and the markets, the
best news was that the
vote was decisive. Bush
garnered 3.5 million
more votes than John
Kerry; there will be no
legal wrangling; and the
agenda for the world’s
only superpower is clear.
The war on terror will
continue;
rebellious
Iraqis had better duck;
gay people wanting to
marry should target
Regina; and there will
soon be a missile
defence shield above us
big enough to stop
Carolyn Parrish.
But the most important thing we can anticipate in this swirl of cur-
rent events, ironically, is
stability. An American
withdrawal from Iraq
would likely have resulted in that country, and
the region, descending
into feudal warfare-with far-reaching consequences. Meanwhile the
plunging US dollar just
about
ensures
the
Federal Reserve will
keep a lid on rising
interest rates, which will
be good for the stock
market. The war on terror is expensive, which
has led Bush into a giant
deficit, which in turn
has tanked the greenback.
So, stocks up, bonds
down, with an era of
continued cheap money
lying ahead. One consequence will be a continuation of the North
American love affair
with real estate, which
seems to be the bedrock
asset class of our lives
these days. But some
people warn that cheap
money and easy credit
have led to a dangerous
explosion in real estate
values--especially
in
urban America--which
is simply not sustainable. House prices in
places like Washington
and San Francisco have
more than doubled in a
shockingly short period
of time, and purchasers
have been forced to take
on a mountain of mortgage debt.
Some
Chicken
Littles have been furiously
emailing
me
“reports” claiming that
this inflationary balloon
is about to burst, and
Bush’s decision to keep
Alan Greenspan as the
chief American central
banker is the final step
towards
fiscal
Armageddon. The same
lunacy and mass hysteria
that led to the dot-com
boom and the technology bubble, they claim,
has now caused real
estate values to swell to
the breaking point.
But, all of this is likely bunk. Real estate is
ruled by the laws of supply and demand, and so
long as people want to
buy houses, values will
rise. Of course, low
interest rates are a key
factor, since they reduce
the carrying cost of debt
and allow people to buy
more house than they
otherwise could afford.
But there is no reason to believe--especially after the last week-that the generation of
cheap money is about to
end anytime soon.
Despite soaring energy
prices, core inflation is
extremely low. The
Canadian economy is
doing very well, creating
a mass of new jobs, and
yet there is virtually no
pressure on prices in
general. Yeah, the robust
Canadian dollar will
probably encourage the
Bank of Canada to
ratchet up the cost of
money a little next
month, but that will
only move the prime
rate up a quarter point
to four and a half per
cent. Yawn.
And there you have it
--no inflation, low rates,
more jobs, the same devils that you know in
power in Ottawa and
Washington,
and
enough
uncertainly
about stocks and bonds
to keep folks running
into the bosomy, welcoming,
intoxicating
embrace of real estate.
Could we ever love it
enough to turn this
affair unhealthy? Of
course we could. Just not
yet. I’ll let you know.

All the beer you can drink…FREE
Did I catch your attention? Good. Well, there’s
no beer and if there
were, it wouldn’t be free.
But let’s pretend for one
moment that there is
free beer. How much
would you drink? 1, 2, 5,
8? How do you decide
how much to drink?
There is a way you
can gauge how risky your
drinking habits are. A
team of Canadian medical
and
social
researchers came up with
“Low-Risk
Drinking
Guidelines to give us
some idea.
Alcohol consumption
plays a role in many people’s everyday lives. It is
often served at social
functions, religious or
spiritual ceremonies, and
with food. Of course,
drinking no alcohol is
perfectly acceptable and
offers the least risk of
alcohol-related problems. If alcohol is a part
of your life, here are
some simple guidelines
to help you minimize the
risk of health problems.
Drink no more than
two standard drinks on
any one day (a standard
drink is a 5 oz glass of
wine, 1.5 oz of spirits, or
12 oz of regular beer
(5%)).
Women should drink
no more than nine standard drinks in one week
and men no more than
14 standard drinks.
I know what you’re
thinking… You CAN’T
save up your drinks all
week and then drink
them all on the weekend
and consider yourself
within the low-risk
drinking
guidelines.
Nice try! Remember the
“no more than two per
day” guideline I just
mentioned?
These guidelines are
to lower the risk of alcohol-related problems.
Notice they’re not called
SAFE drinking guide-
lines. As most of us
know, alcohol consumption can lead to a number of health problems,
certain cancers, liver
problems, and injuries
from accidents. There is
always potential for
problems
especially
when we don’t set limits.
Wait an hour inbetween
drinks, eat, and avoid
getting drunk to help
minimize your risk even
more.
DO NOT drink and
drive or operate any
machinery. If you are
pregnant, trying to get
pregnant, or breastfeeding, it is recommended
to abstain from alcohol
altogether. The amount
of alcohol that may cause
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum
Disorder is unknown.
These guidelines only
apply to healthy adults of
the legal drinking age. If
you are unsure if they
apply to you, seek your
doctor’s advice.
Health Unit tackles family abuse
Hastings and Prince
Edward Counties /
Nov. 9, 2004 - Most
people realize the negative effects child abuse
has on its young victims. Many, however, do
not realize that witnessing family abuse is also
damaging to young
children.
“Three to five children in every Canadian
classroom have witnessed their mother
being assaulted, according to the best estimates. These children
are being affected,” says
Rebecca Mathers, a
health promoter with
the
Family
Abuse
Prevention Program at
the Hastings & Prince
Edward
Counties
Health Unit.
“The impact on
these children, emotionally and behaviourally, is very similar
to those who have been
abused directly,” says
Mathers. Children that
live in a violent home
can experience post
traumatic stress disorder, have outbursts of
anger and aggression
and are at a much higher risk of having conflicts with peers, adults
I M P O R TA N T N O T I C E
SPELMER
Chrysler Jeep Dodge
and the law.”
What can we do to
stop family abuse? “We
can take a stand and
create a community that
will not allow its children to be hurt in any
way,” says Mathers.
“Family abuse continues
because we are silent
about it. We have the
power to stop violence
by speaking up.”
Mathers
urges
everyone to play a role
in ending family abuse.
One way to help is by
volunteering at a social
service agency in the
area that helps families
in crisis. Acting as a role
model for a young child
who needs a positive
adult
influence
is
another way to help.
“Having the courage to
offer help to a family
that you sense may be
abusive to each other
behind closed doors can
also
help”,
says
Mathers.
Family abuse does
happen in every neighbourhood.
Through
individual actions people can show each other
that any type of family
abuse is unacceptable.
For more information
on how you can help,
please

the
Health Unit at 9665513 ext. 293.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS LEARN DANGERS OF DRINKING AND DRIVING
Photos: Laurie McVicar, Contact
Military Police officers Corporal Fred Noreau(above), Cpl Lyne Papineau, and Cpl Toby Sebaaly visited Marc Garneau Secondary School on November
8 to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving. Grade 11 and 12 students were asked to wear special “fatality goggles” while maneuvering through an obstacle course. The goggles simulate the daytime and nighttime vision of an impaired driver.
Highest rates of impaired
driving reported among
young drivers
Nov. 2003 - Young drivers aged 19 to 24 continue to
have the highest rates for impaired driving, according
to data available from 94 police departments in nine
provinces, representing 56% of all reported criminal
incidents.
These data indicate that the rates of impaired
driving peak at age 21. Rates level off and remain relatively constant for 25 to 44 year olds, followed by a
drop in rates with persons aged 45 and over. Seniors
aged 65 years and older had the lowest rates.

Tactical Strength Challenge final results
Submitted by
Todd Peart
On Friday, November 5 the weather was cool and very windy. Since most of the event was held indoors, weather was only a minor concern
for the five brave competitors (two males, three females) who came out to test their mettle in this year’s Tactical Strength Challenge.
Although not easy by any stretch, this year’s event was especially formatted for intermediate and grassroots competitors wishing to gain
experience in strength challenges as well as to provide some exposure to a primitive yet very effective training tool…“The Russian Kettlebell”.
A “kettlebell” or girya is a traditional Russian cast iron weight that looks like a cannonball with a handle. The competition proved to be
quite evil / challenging for both male and female categories. The first three events were selected to determine the top “pound for pound”
male and female. The last three events were more traditional and helped balance things out to select the “overall top male and female competitors”. Results for this years challenge are as follows:

Due to a lack of time, a tiebreaker for the “Overall Challenger of the Day - Male Category” was not held. On behalf of the PSP Fitness
and Sports Flight, congratulations to all competitors for having the intestinal fortitude to step up and take the challenge. They, in turn, helped
raise $50 for 8 Wing Trenton’s United Way fundraising efforts. All five competitors left for home with sore, tired muscles, fewer calories,
much less energy and with a new level of self-confidence in knowing that they have what it takes when it’s “time to dig in.” Each challenger
was also presented with a beautiful Gerber lock blade. Many thanks to the Fire Hall and EME Sqn for their help in supplying various pieces
of equipment and to all Base Gym Staff (PSP) who did a wonderful job in helping keep the event running smoothly with set up, judging,
timing, filming etc. If you have any questions about this event or are interested in learning more about Russian kettlebells and kettlebell training etc. I can be reached via email: [email protected] or by calling local 7160. “mens sana incorpore sano”.

General tips for toy safety--check toys for potential dangers
Submitted by
Doug Bird, Deputy
Wing General Safety
Officer
Most parents and grandparents enjoy buying toys for
children. However, some
toys can be more hazardous
than fun. Caution should be
taken when buying toys or
receiving toys for your child
from friends and relatives.A
toy that is a lot of fun for a
five year-old can become
very dangerous in the hands
of a one year-old.
A major danger to
infants and small children
when they are playing with
toys is choking. Small toys
or parts of toys can break off
and end up in a child’s
mouth, creating a choking
hazard. When purchased,
toys should have an age recommendation on the packaging, though you should
never assume this to be 100
per cent accurate for all chil-
dren. In Canada there is a
report produced by the
Canadian Toy Testing
Council that is published
every year in the fall. The
Toy Report is a useful volume that covers toys for
children aged newborn to
ten years old.It is available at
large magazine stands and
you should be able to find a
copy of it at the library.
General tips for toy safety
Before you buy the toy,
or accept it as a gift,remember to check it for potential
dangers. Toys should be
washable, have smooth
edges, have no removable
pins or buttons, and have no
springs to catch fingers, toes
or hair.
Inspect your child’s toys
regularly for wear and damage.
Do not try to “challenge” your child with toys
that are designed for older
children. Toys can be dangerous if not age-appropriate. Think about whether a
younger child in the house
may have access to the toy.
Older children can be
taught to keep their toys
where younger siblings cannot reach them.
Supervise your child’s
play. Young children, especially, have not yet learned
how to play well together
and can easily hurt each
other.
Show your children how
to use the toys properly.
Teach them to watch for
danger in toys and to let you
know if something is broken
or hazardous. Teach your
child that some toys can be
unsafe.
Watch for broken or
cracked rattles. Many rattles
contain beads which can be
easily swallowed or aspirated (inhaled) into a lung.
Use the toy gauge, available from Consumer and
Corporate Affairs Canada,
to check that you baby’s toys
are large enough that they
will not cause choking. (See
Chapter Three, Choking,
Suffocation, Strangulation
and Drowning for additional information about choking and strangulation dangers with toys.)
Make sure your infant
cannot reach the mobile in
the playpen or crib. By four
to five months your child
will grab hold of anything in
reach. Once he can roll over
and push himself up, it is
time to remove mobiles.
Mobiles pose a strangulation hazard if the child can
reach them and pull them
down.
When a baby can stand,
remove all toys from the crib
that could entangle clothing
and cause strangulation.
One toy I came across
was a stuffed dog with a
hard plastic nose. The nose
was attached to the dog by a
sharp serrated piece of metal
which was easily pulled out.
Avoid toys with buttons
or removable eyes and noses
that may pose a choking
hazard.
Remove ribbons from
stuffed animals. A baby may
pull a ribbon off and put it
into his mouth and choke
on it.
Balloons are not toys!
Keep children from sucking
or chewing on inflated or
uninflated balloons. Keep
uninflated balloons away
from children. Get rid of
broken balloons at once;
make sure you have all the
pieces of a broken balloon.
Adults should inflate balloons for children rather
than allowing the child to
do it.
Foam toys can be dangerous if pieces are torn and
the foam is put into little
mouths. Be especially vigilant with stuffed toys; they
can develop tears or ripped
seams which will expose the
stuffing.
Caution is needed with
second-hand toys; they may
not meet safety standards.
For instance, old toys could
be painted with lead-based
paint, which would be a
hazard.
Keep batteries away
from children. Small button-type batteries that are
found in some toys, calculators, and watches have been
swallowed or choked on by
children.
Toys that shoot, especially those using darts or
arrows, should never be
pointed at another child,
adult, or pet. Many injuries
have been caused by these
toys. Children should be
discouraged from playing
with them.
Teach children to put
toys away after use. Toy
boxes without a lid or ones
that have sliding doors or
panels are the safest. If your
toy box does have a lid,
make sure that it has holes
in two or more adjacent
sides to prevent suffocation
of a child who may become
trapped inside.
Toys left on the floor or
stairs are a danger to children and adults alike (See
Chapter Two, Falls).
Tricycles and other
toddler riding toys
Once a child has mastered a tricycle or a riding
toy, they are very mobile,
they can move very rapidly,
and injuries can happen very
quickly. Riding toys are fun;
make them safe fun.A helmet reduces the chance of a
head injury. Remember that
helmet must be worn when
using all riding toys.
Stability is important.
The wheels of tricycles and
riding toys should be spaced
wide enough apart to keep
the toy stable.
Extreme caution is
needed when driving in or
out of the driveway. Many
children have been killed
when someone has driven
over them. Remember, children are small and hard to
see when you are in the driver’s seat! Walk around the
vehicle before you get into
your motor vehicle, and
then proceed with caution.
Do not allow the child
on a riding toy anywhere
close to the stairs.

TOUGHEST COMPETE IN CHALLENGE
Photos: Laurie McVicar, Contact
Military spouse Denise Wray put tremendous effort into the truck push portion of the
Tactical Strength Challenge on November 5 while Pat Comeau, Senior OPP officer, tries his
hand at the tire toss. Other events included: body weight chin-ups, Turkish get-ups, single
cleans, and the Kamakazi-Medley. This final event was a cross between the old high school
football running drill "suicides" in which after each sprint the distance is doubled and the
traditional strongman "medley" in which various objects are lifted, carried and often loaded
into a pick-up truck. Fastest time determined the winner.

Lt-Col Mark Wise,
Derek’s commanding officer at MCAS Beaufort,
made the trip from South

present Deanne with the

comforted Deanne since
she had left the United

Deanne Nichols struggled
to get out the words, as she
stood before a small group
of local Winnipeg media
reporters interested to hear
her story.
It’s a story of courage
wrought with many tears.
A story that began with the
tragic loss of her husband,
Capt Derek Nichols, a
Canadian Forces fighter
pilot killed in an F/A 18
Hornet he was piloting on
return home to Marine
Corps
Air
Station
(MCAS) Beaufort, South
Carolina, June 28, 2004. A
story that has now ended
this past month with some
degree of happiness and a
sense of closure for Deanne
and her sons, Bryce and
Logan.
On November 3,
Deanne was presented with
two bursaries in the sum of
$16,000 US for her boys’
education from the United
States Marine Corps
(USMC) where Derek
spent the last three years
