From the Ames Research Centerat Mountain View, California toCanadian Forces DetachmentMountain View south ofBelleville, Ontario, theGlobemaster III has establisheditself as one of the most flexiblecargo aircraft ever to enter the air-lift force.
That flexibility was demon-strated clearly May 5 at 8Wing/CFB Trenton’s MountainView airfield when one of theCanadian Forces new CC177s (C-17 for U.S. Air Force fans) per-formed its first series of landingand take-off exercises there.Witnessing the event from aboardthe aircraft was Colonel MikeHood, Commander, 8 Wing/CFBTrenton.
“It really was impressive to seehow agile an aircraft that large canbe,” Col Hood said. “The CO of429 Squadron, flying from the leftseat, did an outstanding job bring-ing this increased capability tofruition. Touch down was smooth- full breaks immediately - the air-craft impressively stopped insideof 2,000 feet. Incredible.”
The point of this exercise wasto demonstrate the aircraft’s takeoff and landing capability on theaustere runways commonly foundin an Assault Landing Zone(ALZ), said Lieutenant Colonel(LCol) Dave Murphy, WingOperations Officer at 8Wing/CFB Trenton.
“We are gearing up to ensurewe have the capability to land (theCC177) on a runway pretty muchanywhere,” he said.
Based on this week’s brief tri-als, there should be few, if anyproblems getting our latest airliftacquisition quickly on, and offshort, austere landing strips.
From the first preliminaryflights of the Globemaster in theU.S., the aircraft garnered this typeof description from test pilots:
“It has performance character-istics that distinguish it from itspredecessors, including long-rangecapability, outstanding aerody-
namic efficiency, ease of groundoperations, heavy cargo payloadcapability, the ability to performextensive airdrops over hostile ter-ritory and to make precision land-ings and takeoffs from short ormakeshift runways.”
Tuesday’s test at MountainView was to show that the detach-ment’s runway can support CC177operations, said LCol (USAF)John Tringali, a pilot trainer whohas been embedded with the CFsince 2007. He has been flyingGlobemasters since 1998, and iscurrently tasked as the ChiefTraining Pilot with 429(Transport) Squadron.
“The Globemaster III isdesigned around the short fieldlanding capability, and there aremany fields in Canada that willonly be accessible to CC130s andCC177s,” LCol Tringali said. “TheCC177 is obviously bigger, faster,and has more range, so for timecritical missions, such as disaster
evacuation during HurricaneHugo, the CF can really benefit tohave a plane that size operatingout of fields like MV (MountainView).”
LCol David Lowthian,Commanding Officer, 429 (T)Squadron piloted the first CC177landing at MV, accompanied byCol Hood, LCol Tringali, MajorPat O’Dwyer and Captain BillJerrard (both pilots with 429 (T)Squadron), and Master CorporalStacey Warren, Loadmaster.
“The ALZ landing capabilityhas recently been added to theCanadian CC177 portfolio andalthough pilots have always beenpracticing them in the simulator,we are just introducing the capabil-ity to the aircraft now,” LColLowthian said.“Pilots will be intro-duced to ALZ operations on themain runway at Trenton; and asscheduled improvements are com-pleted at Mountain View, we willbe able to operate there much more
frequently.” “Getting into Mountain View
today was proof of that concept andit worked out beautifully,” he said.
After a couple of ‘touch-and-go’ manoeuvres, LCol Lowthianproved the CC177’s STOL (ShortTake Off and Landing) capabilityby touching down and stopping inwhat seemed to be the blink of aneye, then taxied to the end of therunway to turn around and take off,again in a remarkably short dis-tance.
As a Flying Training Unit(FTU) evaluator, LCol Tringaliwas aboard Tuesday as a qualifiedC-17/CC177 pilot, observing andprepared to assist if necessary. Hesaid all expectations of the exercisewere met, including length andstrength of the MV runway, andthat jet blast will not affect trafficon the highway bordering the air-field.
Due diligence along the high-way was performed by members of
the 8 Wing/CFB Trenton MilitaryPolice Detachment, commandedby Lieutenant (Navy) PaulBlackmore.
“Everything went as smooth assilk, a testament to the work and“what if ” planning from the WingOps team,” LCol Lowthian said.
“We need to note the amountof coordination and collectiveeffort that went into the planningand execution of the day’s activi-ties,” he continued. “8 WingOperations staff has worked dili-gently for quite some time (tobring the exercise together). If itwasn’t for LCol Murphy, MajorGerry Fraser, and Captains BernieCastonguay and Jeff Baldwin (allfrom Wing Ops), we would still bewaiting to do this.”
“It was great to be part of thisexercise today,” LCol Lowthiansaid. “Mountain View will putTrenton on the map as a CC177Home Station of choice in thefuture.”

A message from Colonel Mike Hood
Last Saturday, Louisa and I hadthe pleasure of attending theInvisible Ribbon Gala, hosted bythe Trenton Military ResourceCentre and held at the NationalAir Force Museum of Canada.The event was a fantastic eveningwith over 270 in attendance –many of whom are our greatfriends in the local community.We are indeed blessed to havesuch great collaboration in sup-port of such a worthy cause.Between the excellent meal, theexciting live auction, and the witof the guest of honour, SenatorMike Duffy, the night at themuseum was a great experience.
Thanks to the generosity ofthe event’s many sponsors andparticipants, as well as the dedica-tion and energy of the volunteerorganizers, the event raised over$40,000 for the Military FamilyResource Centre. Well done to all!
As significant as the amountof money raised by the event isthe cause for which that moneywas raised. The Invisible RibbonGala’s intent is to highlight therole that military families play insupport of the success of those ofus in uniform. I have mentioned,on more than a couple of occa-sions in this space, about howimportant healthy and supportedfamilies are to the Wing’s success.Enhancing the quality of life andenhancing the military experiencefor families of 8 Wing personnelis the Trenton Military Family
Resource Centre’s mission, sotheir work is something I consid-er not only worthy, but vital to 8Wing.
The money raised by eventssuch as the Invisible Ribbon Galagoes to provide specialized pro-grams and services that promotehealth, education and social well-being. They help family membersfind work, come together as acommunity through educationaland social programs, and helpfamilies deal with the demands ofthe inevitable separation causedby deployments. They also run asuccessful daycare and youth pro-grams for children and parentswith infants. They do this with anincredibly caring staff who arecompletely dedicated to the
health of the military family com-munity.
With that in mind, I wouldlike to again thank the sponsorsand donors who generously sup-ported the event. 8 Wing is not anisland unto itself – rather it iscompletely woven into the greaterQuinte West and surroundingregions - and the incredible sup-port of our friends and neigh-bours is greatly appreciated.Again, I would also like to thankthe organizers and other volun-teers who made the event not justsuccessful, but extremely enjoy-able as well. The event’s successwill contribute to the centre’s abil-ity to support military families –something we should all takepride in.

Clifton Watt (Clif ) Harper left Brightonin the spring of 1939 to join the RAF,never to return to his home town.
Described in Brighton Ensign storiesin April of that year as a “most estimableyoung man, and one who will be greatlymissed,” the son of Robert and CarrieHarper, and brother to Geddes, Clarence,Lois and Shirley served his community,his country and the BritishCommonwealth with distinction.
A graduate of Peterborough Teacher’sCollege, supply teacher at BrightonPublic School, and part-time student atQueen’s University, Harper was recruitedby the RAF to compete for one of 10Pilot Officer training positions inEngland.
“I believe Clif said that he was amongthe very first group recruited into thisprogram,” Clarence said.
The goal of the BritishCommonwealth Air Training Plan was tocommission Canadian pilots who couldthen instruct other Canadian flyers tofight against Germany. Harper won theOntario competition hands down.
“Clif always had his nose in a book, avoracious reader,” said his youngest sisterShirley (Spencer), now retired inKingston. “He was very smart, so it wasnot surprising that he would be chosen tobe a pilot training officer.”
In rapid order, Harper went from rawrecruit to Acting Pilot Officer (Probation)in June 1939, and was confirmed as PilotOfficer, while still in England, in April1940. Six months later, he was promotedto Flying Officer and sent to the formerRhodesia, South Africa, as a PilotTraining Officer under the Empire AirTraining Scheme.
By the end of that year, with theItalian forces in control of Egypt, Libya,Iraq and other countries, Britain invadedItalian East Africa; and Harper’s 34Squadron was in the thick of it by January1941.It was in daring bombing raids in
Benghazi, Libya that Flying Officer C.W.Harper earned a Distinguished FlyingCross (DFC).
The abbreviated citation in RAFPublic Records reads, “This officer has car-ried out several long and dangerous low levelbombing and machine gun attacks, some ofthem at night. On one occasion, in the face ofintense anti-aircraft fire and searchlightactivity, he made four runs over BenghaziHarbour, at a height of twenty feet, in adetermined attempt to bomb an enemy ship.His keenness and courage have proved asource of inspiration.”
Harper would fly east to see moreaction in Singapore, Java, Sumatra, Indiaand, finally Burma. Transferring to 113Squadron, he was promoted to SquadronLeader, inspiring his air crews on frequentmissions to bomb Japanese troops andsupply lines snaking across the Burmesejungles.
Already a combat-hardened veteran at27, Harper made one last mission over thejungles of Burma in 1942,never to return.
One of his pilot officers had expressedconcerns about performance problemswith his bomber plane. Harper volun-teered to switch aircraft with the officerfor the next bombing run. Although warrecords state that mission was successful,Harper was the only member of hissquadron not to return to base. RAFrecords list him as being killed in actionon June 18, 1942.
Neither his aircraft, nor SquadronLeader’s Harper’s body were ever found.
The ship on which Clif Harper was toreturn to England arrived in Calcutta,India the next day.

“The Tree That Could Be Green” is aplea to the inner child in all of us,and a testament to the importanceof empowering children to ensurethe future of our planet.
That’s sounds like serious stufffor a children’s book; but empow-erment is exactly what Trentonauthor Carryl Postma is encourag-ing in her first publication.
A former civilian employee of8 Wing/CFB Trenton, Postma isan accomplished visual artist whowas inspired to write The TreeThat Could Be Green about a yearago.
Her story reflects the dilemmaof sickly Mr. Tree, whose very lifeis being threatened by global
warming and climate change. An eight-year-old heroine
named Carmen listens to his taleof woe. Together, they come upwith ideas to improve the worldand make Mr. Tree better.
“I went to bed one night inMarch 2007, reflecting on my life’scontributions, and woke up know-ing I had to write this children’sbook dealing with change,”Postma told The Contact recently.
She started the project imme-diately, even drawing her ownillustrations, and sent out “dozensof query letters” to children’s pub-lishers.
Replies “trickled in” over thenext 16 months, but there were“no takers.” That’s when shedecided to go the self-publishingroute.
Postma arranged a deal withAuthorHouse, ultimately celebrat-ing the release of her first book inMarch of this year.
The book retails for $14.99 (notaxes on children’s books), and isavailable for purchase onlinethrough Chapters at chaptersindi-go.ca, www.authorhouse.com, ordirect from the author by calling613-392-0957. Postma donates aminimum of $1 from each sale tospecified charities.

Historically, gambling was a socialpastime that has been enjoyedthroughout the ages.
Archaeologists have discoveredevidence that people in Egypt,China, Japan, and Greece playedgames of chance with dice andother devices as far back as 2000B.C.
For more than two decades, thegambling industry has experiencedsignificant growth in mostCanadian provinces.
Today, in Canada, there aremore than 80 permanent casinos,87,000 gambling machines (slotmachines and video lottery termi-nals), 33,000 lottery ticket centres,
250 racetracks and teletheatres,and 25,000 licenses to run variousbingo, temporary casinos, raffles,pull tickets and other activities.
There are also 2,500 Internetgambling sites. Online poker hasover 400 websites and the numbersare growing daily.
For the majority of Canadians,gambling is a form of entertain-ment that has no negative impact.However, between three to five percent of Canadians develop gam-bling-related problems.
The Canadian Forces 2000Health and Lifestyle InformationSurvey (HLIS), for Regular Forcemembers reported that no more
than one per cent of CF membersreported having a gambling prob-lem.
Given that the CF tends toreflect Canadian society, and thatthe availability of gambling hasincreased, there is concern that theproblem may be more widespreadthan this.

Living in the far north at CanadianForces Station (CFS) Alert can gener-ate some challenges.
Diesel fuel can be a precious com-modity when the nearest gas station ishundreds of kilometres away. Withresources sometimes scarce, the mem-bers stationed there look forward tothe twice annual resupply exercisecommonly known as Boxtop.
In operation since the 1950’s, theexercise was dubbed Boxtop because itwas transporting “boxcars to the top ofthe world.”
The supply mission will run 24hours a day for a two week period end-ing May 2 and involves staff and crewfrom across Canada. This year, 8Wing/CFB Trenton have dedicatedone plane and four crews to the exer-cise.
For those who are stationed at CFSAlert the supply mission is essential.Not only does the operation bring mailfrom home, supplies and other drygoods, it also brings much neededdiesel fuel.
Diesel is required to run almosteverything at CFS Alert from vehiclesto generators, and Operation Boxtopwill transport enough fuel to last untilfall. The majority of goods are movedon board a CC130 Hercules as it is thelargest plane that can land in Alert.
Captain Amanda Ives of 2 AirMovements Squadron has justreturned from her second Boxtop.While deployed, her role was to movepassengers and freight from Thule toAlert. She also helped to unload theplanes and tracked the amount ofcargo that was being moved.
“This Boxtop we moved approxi-mately 24,000 gallons of fuel intoEureka and
210,000 gallons of fuel into Alert,”says Capt Ives, now back in Trenton.“We also moved 209,000 pounds offreight between Eureka and Alertincluding vehicles, fuel, baggage, mail,and furniture.”
Eureka is an Environment Canadaweather station in northern Nunavutthat also relies on Boxtop to be resup-plied.
Not only does the exercise bringimportant supplies but it also providesan opportunity to have a little fun.The Boxtop Olympics are the high-light of the exercise for those who arestationed at CFS Alert and Thule AirBase in Greenland. Because of itslocation in Greenland and availablelodging for the air crews, Thule is usedas a staging area for Boxtop each year.
The Boxtop Olympics are a way forthose stationed at the remote outpostto come to Thule and have fun for aday or two.
Usually consisting of three or fourevents, the Olympics are open to any-one who wants to participate and caninclude anything from wrestling insumo suits to bowling or hockey.
Events are held both at CFS Alertand Thule Air Base. This gives thosewho are stationed in Thule a chance tovisit the remote northern station andto observe how the Canadians live. Itis an opportunity to share stories andto build relationships with theirAmerican counterparts.
Captain Brian Cormier from 8Wing Ops has participated in Boxtopseven times and has fond memories ofthe experience. “I’ve always enjoyedflying on Op Boxtop. A large part ofthe post WW II RCAF history con-sisted of opening up northern Canadaand the Arctic. The challengingweather, the incredible scenery and theopportunity to reflect on our heritagemake flights to CFS Alert some of thebest flying anywhere”
With enough supplies and fuel tolast now until the next Boxtop in thefall, life returns to normal at CFSAlert.
Those stationed there can look for-ward to the warmer, but not quitewarm, summer months while those atWing Operations and Air Movementscan begin the planning for the nextoperation.

It seems today that everyone wantsto say they are going “green” butfew organizations are willing to putin the work the way 8 Wing/CFBTrenton is.
Since December 2006, theCanadian Forces have institutedpolicies requiring that new build-ings must contain green initiatives.
Any new project that is budget-ed to cost $10 million or moremust meet some specific criteriabefore it can be built. Projects thatare tendered on base must nowmeet at least a minimum silverlevel of Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design (LEED®).
The points-based constructionideal was started in the 1990s in aneffort to encourage green initia-tives and reduce the impact ofbuilding on the environment.
The system can award up to 64points in several different areasincluding water efficiency, energyand atmosphere, and materials andresources. To achieve a points levelof silver, a project must compilebetween 33 and 38 points, a goldrating is 39 to 51 points, and plat-inum is 52 points or more.
When a new project is designedit must, by standards, includeenough green initiatives to qualifyfor a silver LEED rating. Thedesign team must include a LEEDaccredited professional who willdemonstrate how the new building
will achieve this benchmark.This makes the firm account-
able and ensures that the new con-struction will have a positive envi-ronmental impact. The newCanadian Forces AerospaceWarfare Centre (CFAWC) build-ing will be constructed to a goldrating.
Some of the methods designersuse to meet the green initiativesoutlined by the Department ofNational Defense include usinglow flow toilets, waterless urinals,and the collection and disburse-ment of grey water.
Buildings are constructed tomake the best use of materialsavailable locally as this reduces theimpact on the environment ofshipping the building materialsover long distances.
Waste materials are recycledinstead of being disposed of inlandfills.
The roofing on these newbuildings is reflective to helpreduce the “Heat Island Effect”.The effect occurs because materi-als used for construction absorband radiate heat differently thannatural objects like trees and grass.
The heat and energy that comefrom the buildings creates a geo-graphically warmer area. Thismeans that the building requiresmore energy to maintain a con-stant temperature.
It isn’t just the way the build-ings are constructed that helps toreduce their energy needs. The
buildings are furnished with ener-gy efficient equipment and theoverall comfort of the building isgreater for the people who work init.
There are fewer temperaturefluctuations and there is less noiseand pollution in the air. Newbuildings also make use of naturallight sources to reduce the need forartificial lighting.
Building to LEED standardsdoes cost more on average thantraditional projects but the mini-mal cost increase (10 per cent to 15per cent more) is nominal whencompared to the positive impact.
In an area where there is almostconstant construction it is good toknow that you are being environ-mentally responsible.
The increased cost of projects isoffset by the energy savings andreduced impact on the environ-ment.
Some of the new projects onthe base include the Aerospace andTelecommunications EngineeringSupport Squadron (ATESS) refin-ishing shop, the new CC177hangars and the ElectricalMechanical Engineering/Transp-ort building. All of these projectswill be constructed with the princi-ples of LEED in mind.
It is reassuring to know thathere at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton,there is a commitment to the envi-ronment, and a demonstratedresponsibility that is backed up byactions and not just talk.

With cold, blustery winds gust-ing frequently with whatseemed a gale force from thenorth, the entire superstructureof the First Line MaintenanceShelter System threatened totake flight, possibly taking someof the troops from 8 Wing alongwith it for an unwanted aerialexcursion.
Quickly, half of the troops ofthe 8 Wing Mission SupportSquadron (MSS) sprang intoaction, strategically placingthemselves on the lower alu-minum frame of the shelter,doing their best impression ofcadpat-clad tent pegs.
As their compatriots held theskinless shelter to the ground,the remaining troops struggledas they hauled on the ropes thatwould drag the gigantic flappinggreen roof up and over the bar-ren spine of the superstructure.
Hours before this unsched-uled sortie, the eager troops fromTransport and Electrical andMechanical EngineeringSquadron (Tn/EME Sqn) haddisembarked and assembled on avacant gravel parking located atthe Canadian ForcesDetachment Mountain Viewtraining area situated south ofBelleville Ontario.
They were under the tutelageof Sergeant Mike Bidal, a formerinstructor at the CanadianForces School of Electrical and
Mechanical Engineering, andnow employed as a sectionsupervisor at EME Flight, whohad the daunting task ofinstructing the MSS troops inthe assembly and disassemblydrills of the First LineMaintenance Shelter.
With the chilly troops eagerto begin and warm up, Sgt Bidalsoon had them unloading thevarious-sized containers thatmake up the shelter, placingthem in strategic piles to helpspeed up assembly later on. Forthose who have never been in, orseen one of these shelters youneed to imagine a gigantic khakiLego© set on steroids. The shel-ter is comprised of some 306pieces that, when assembled, canfit equipment as large as a HeavyLogistic Vehicle Wheeled(HLVW).
The base of the shelter hascolour coded and numberedpieces so simple a child couldassemble it; so for anyone whohas children, this task wouldimmediately bring back not sofond memories of Christmasmornings past, inserting red tabB into green slot three with themounting frustration and muf-fled curses these child proofinstructions inevitably cause.This of course is why Sgt Bidalwith his expertise and guidancewas required to oversee the oper-ation.
Once the colour-coded alu-minum rectangular base wasassembled on the parking lot, the
next phase of the operation theassembling of the individualpurlins began, and soon theskeleton of the shelter started totake shape. Constantly empha-sized throughout the day’s train-ing were patience, teamwork andsafety. These important factorswere obvious to the busy troopsand they quickly realized thatworking in pairs, and then largerteams made the project go saferand faster with amazing results.
In the end, the troops of theMSS did emerge victorious inthe raising of the shelter, andwith many lessons learned, theymanaged to correctly and safelyassemble and strike theMaintenance shelter. While theday spent working on the shelterwas an important skill to acquireit was also a valuable team build-ing tool for allowing the troopsand leadership an initial chanceto get together, get to know oneanother and start functioning asa team in order to prepare forfuture taskings or deployments.

Both and neither were part of the fabric here at RoyalCanadian Air Force (RCAF) Station Trenton during the waryears. And everyone knows that most every serviceman in theSecond World War had a favourite pin-up girl and it was like-ly Betty Grable (wife of Bandleader Harry James). She was thegirl with the million dollar legs, insured by Lloyd’s of Londonfor $1.2 million (a lotta dough back then).
Of course most of you have seen pictures of her in a whiteswimsuit peeking seductively over her shoulder at the camera.It was said that the American Force public affairs distributedover two million copies of the photo to their troops and onemillion more where printed in newspapers and magazines.
It should be noted that Trenton didn’t get around to pub-lishing that particular photo until November 1943.
Even then, it really didn’t show up as the one the Americantroops got but another pose from a little known film BettyGrable had done. But in March of 1944, The Contact wasworking on other things at the time and would turn the backpage into the pin-up page.
The first to appear was Ginger Rogers in a very revealingpose (for that time period). Other Hollywood stars would fol-low as feature pin-ups, among them Rita Hayworth. Cecil BDeMille said of Hayworth, she never took a bad picture andmost of the male readers of the day would agree with that – thephoto that appeared was one that featured the redhead lying ona background of satin as though she was sunning on a beach.
It included the caption “We hope this new portrait will sat-isfy the insistent clamourings of the wolves not only at Trentonbut at all other areas where Canadians are in training or battleaction.”
But this Station was not without its pushy publicity direc-tors, they too were visited by film companies much like presentday Trenton. In April 1944 photographers from No.1 TrainingCommand arrived to take pictures of the young lady who hadbeen chosen pin-up girl of RCAF Station Trenton. Peoplewere hurriedly gathered from around the AdministrationBuilding (oddly the same building it is now) to pose with thispicture. The news soon spread through Canada by wire serviceand everyone wanted to know who she was, where she was
from, when they could meet her. Lots of unanswered ques-tions, but nothing concrete.
In September 1944, on the second anniversary of the arrivalof airwomen at Trenton, The Contact decided to not only fea-ture a well documented story on the Women’s Division (WD),but to include a photo on the back cover.
The featured WD was Cpl Lorriane McGavin, a PTI andWomen’s Editor on the station paper. It was a head and shoul-ders shot, partial profile with the RCAF flag in the back-ground.
The paper had decided to return back to the glamourHollywood shots for the next issue, but the CommandingOfficer, G/C Bell-Irving, had other ideas. The CO liked theWD photos and ordered that The Contact use them as featuresfor the back cover. And the rest is history.
Now, the CO didn’t put any caveats on what the WDs hadto wear, so the staff at The Contact decided to get creative.
Photo number two was of LAW Jane Vaughan, the recent-ly crowned No.1 Training Command Backstroke SwimmingChampion, in a one-piece bathing suit leaning against the lad-der of the officers’ pool (it’s been filled in since).
Soon others would follow, LAWs Ginger Adams, KathySees, Shirley Keane, Lorraine Davenport and so on.
The Contact staff (men) soon discovered that they werebecoming quite popular among the WDs as the ‘selectors’ ofthe pin-ups. But for The Contact staff like all good things, thistoo came to an end, when the paper went to back to one backpin-up cover a month, their popularity waned.
The staffers decided to turn over the job to another sectionon the station. No.1 Air Command arrived in early 1945 andthe staff eagerly took on the selection duty, even featuring someof their airwomen on the back covers.
Air Command’s chief writer was given the task and decid-ed to hold a contest to feature airwomen. The contest was asuccess several were chosen – LAWs Teddy Higginbottom,Madeline Stark, Duffie Neville, Pat Patterson, along with CplsOlive Jay (the VE Day shot) and Millie Livingstone.
The back cover photos ended with the end of the SecondWorld War. It is safe to say that for the military personnel sta-tioned at RCAF Station Trenton during the Second WorldWar there was always entertainment (suitable for the day)…Have you heard about fight nights or did you know that theyused to pipe music every morning from the water tower…another column in the works.

Planning to get married?If you are planning to get married in the Roman Catholic Church, on Base or off Base, the Catholic Party must contact first the Wing Chaplains’ Offices at 613-392-2811, Ext 2490 to beginthe pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to provide you with time to take the pre-marriage class (which must be attended) and the padre to complete the marriagefile, which must be sent to the Military Ordinariate’s Chancery Office no less then three months prior to the wedding day). Please, keep in mind that pre-marriage classes are not offered fromMay to September. This is applicable to all members falling under Military Ordinariate’s jurisdiction; that means for all CF personnel and DND employees who are RC. The later have thechoice between their Wing Chaplains’ Pastoral Services and their civilian parish’s. If a Catholic party wants to get married under the Rite of a particular Protestant denomination, the above stillapplies.
If the marriage file is not processed on time, the Wing Chaplain’s office will not be held accountable. Three months is the minimum time to process a canonical marriage file (to Ottawaand from. . . to the church of your wedding). If you belong to a Protestant denomination and you would like to get married at the Wing Chapel, you are asked to contact the chaplain of yourdenomination at the earliest convenient time.
Vous planifiez de vous marier?Si vous projetez de vous marier selon le Rite de l’Église catholique romaine, aussi bien sur la Base qu’à l’extérieur, la partie catholique doit en tout premier lieu communiquer avec les bureauxdes aumôniers de l’Escadre au #613.392.2811, poste 2490. Ce premier contact, qui enclenchera l’ouverture du dossier prénuptial, devrait être fait six mois avant la date de la célébration dumariage. C’est le temps minimum pour planifier la session de préparation au mariage (à laquelle les fiancés doivent participer et qui ne sont pas dispensées entre les mois de mai et septembre.)et de préparer le dossier de demande de mariage. Le dossier doit être envoyé au bureau du Chancelier de l’Ordinariat militaire du Canada, à Ottawa, au moins trois mois avant la date choisie.Ce qui précède s’applique à toute personne assujettie à la juridiction canonique de l’Évêque du Diocèse militaire du Canada; en d’autres mots, à tous les membres des FC et aux employés duMDN qui sont CR. Cependant, ces derniers ont le choix de faire appel aux services des aumôniers CR de l’Escadre ou de s’adresser au bureau du pasteur de leur paroisse civile. A noter que sila partie catholique veut se marier selon le Rite d’une Église protestante, ce qui précède s’applique encore.
Il importe également de prendre note que si le dossier prénuptial n’a pas été complété et envoyé dans les délais requis, le bureau de l’Aumônier de l’Escadre ne pourra être tenu responsablede toute complication et des coûts qui pourraient y être reliés. Trois mois précédant la date: voilà le temps souhaitable que les bureaux de l’aumônier et du chancelier ont besoin pour prépareret acheminer un dossier de demande de mariage.
Si vous appartenez à une Église de confession protestante et que vous souhaitez avoir votre célébration de mariage à la chapelle de l’Escadre, nous vous demandons de communiquer avecle padré de votre confession religieuse le plus tôt possible.

If you think you’re the next Neko orNo Age, or know any young musiciansaspiring to be the next Nickelback,then this summer’s Frankapaloozamay be just the ticket.
Two area men with ties to 8Wing/CFB Trenton are in the finalstages of organizing an “amateur bat-tle of the bands” to run Saturday, July25 in the Frankford Tourist Park.
For these two middle-aged men,one of whom has been “foolingaround” with garage bands for 25years and the other discovering hislove of performing only recently,Frankapalooza “is an opportunity togive something back to the commu-nity while giving our young people anoutlet for their talents.”
“Frankapalooza is patterned afterthe giant festival held each year inChicago, but giving young amateurs achance to perform locally,” said JamesKlassen, Safety Officer for DefenceConstruction Canada (DCC) opera-tions on the base.
Klassen and his colleague, AlanLloyd, a DCC electrical contractmanager, are using their love formusic and the interest in musicshown by their own teenagers as aspringboard to advance local talent.
“We’ve seen an increase in vio-lence among young people locallyover the past few years, and think alot of it has to do with teens not hav-ing appropriate outlets for their ener-
gy,” Klassen said. “There is a lot ofincredible talent in the region; and ifkids had a positive outlet for theirmusical abilities, we think there’d be alot less trouble in our communities.”
Klassen, who has also promotedenergy release in youth through mar-tial arts (he is a master instructor),originally took guitar lessons atTrenton’s Riverside Music “to learn afew tunes to play around the camp-fire.”
That introduction sparked a deep-er interest in spreading the power ofmusic.
So, with his friend and Bellevilleresident Lloyd, the construction safe-ty guy from 8 Wing/CFB Trentonhas become a music festival promot-er.
“We get nothing from this exceptthe joy of knowing young people willbe given a chance to perform theirmusic, whatever that may be, in apublic forum,” Klassen said.
Any amateur music performer,regardless of skill level or style, canplay and sing at Frankapalooza bysubmitting a completed registrationform and a $125 registration deposit.By showing up to perform on July 25,those musicians will have $100returned to them. ‘No shows’ forfeitthe fee. It’s a first come-first to per-form festival, so get your registrationsin now!
Bands will perform in assignedtime slots from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., fol-lowed by a one-hour performance by
international recording artistsHIBOU.
“The need to get that entry feewill also prompt young performers tofind ways to earn the money, addinganother degree of responsibility tothe process,” Klassen said.
For more information, please call
613-920-5672 during the day; 613-966-7501 after 5 p.m.; or request aregistration form by email, [email protected].
All proceeds after expenses will goto the Hastings Children’s AidSociety and the Frankford TouristPark Splash Pad.
Let your inner rocker loose at “Frankapalooza”
Defence Construction Canada employees James Klassen (left) and AlanLloyd are also amateur musicians who have organized a public forum foraspiring young performers to showcase their talents. Frankapalooza runsJuly 25, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Frankford Tourist Park.
