CLIFF KENYON
If the COVID 19 pandemic has taught us anything it’s that there are many new things to learn.
We didn’t see this coming and certainly weren’t familiar with things such as shutdown followed by the need for a Resumption of Business Plan.
That’s what Jennifer Ross, Curator at Cold Lake Musuems has been busy doing. She has been preparing a detailed plan, the kind required by many ventures before they can open for visitors.
The museum is expected to open to the public soon, as early as this week. It closes for winter and usually opens on the long weekend in May. But this year plans were put on hold due to the pandemic. There have been weeks to prepare under new restrictions and guidelines meaning there is more to it than just throwing open the door and welcoming the first visitors.
Ross admits the plans to reopen, outlined in a detailed written report, mean a lot of work but it is important to protect visitors and staff members when the museum opens. Plans are reviewed by 4 Wing leadership and the museum, which falls under federal guidelines, is inspected prior to opening.
There is a hand sanitizing station at the entrance and screens around the welcome desk. Arrows direct visitors on their path through the museum.
“Visitors may have to be patient. To maintain distancing you may have to wait before visitors in front of you clear a display area,” said Ross.
And there is no touching. Visitors are normally asked not to touch displays. Even a small amount of
oil naturally on your hands can damage items over time. But the no touching rule is now even more important and will be stressed.
“We will be asking visitors to co-operate and not touch anything. We can’t sanitize the entire museum after each visit and some artefacts can’t be sanitized without damaging them.”
Ross expects the museum will be popular because schools are closed and many families are home schooling.
The Cold Lake Museums is actually four museums. As well as the Air Force Museum there are sections focusing on local heritage, indigenous culture and the oil patch.
“There really is something for everyone. It isn’t just air force related.” said Ross. “Don’t miss it. It’s a really great museum for the size of the community.”
Admission to the museum is by donation with a suggestion of $5 per person or $10 for a family. Cash only. They have no debit machine.
Due the pandemic washrooms will not be available and depending on the number of visitors you may need to be patient.
Cold Lake Museum prepares for visitors
Have we done it?Have we overcome the
Beast? Has it slithered away
whimpering?I’m talking about the dreaded
COVID-19, or the coronavirus, or the BEAST.
Some “experts” say it’s not gone anywhere. It’s still here. Hiding. Lurking. Perhaps it’s under your bed playing among the dust bunnies, silently kicking them about when you are sleeping? Perhaps it’s in the dark in that closet you pledged to tidy up someday? A virus is a tiny thing. Not easy to spot.
Some “experts” insist it will return with a vengeance, worse that the first time around. Perhaps this fall or perhaps this winter.
One thing I’ve learned. I’m not really sure you can believe the “experts” who seem to like being quoted. Put a microphone in front of them and they immediately seem to know the answers. Truth is, we didn’t know much at the start and
still don’t.It seems many “experts” give
varying answers on “Beastly” things.
Canadian government health officials seem to be the most dependable and reliable. They have calmly and steadfastly rejected the weird claims of cures that occupy the notorious world wide web.
It seems their advice has kept us out of the worst trouble. It has been advice wisely followed by the Canadian Armed Forces.
CAF leaders acted quickly, making decisions a few months ago may have seemed outrageous.
Just imagine the thought several months ago of telling your armed forces members to take a break from training and instead simply stay at home. Imagine telling them to fill their days with other activities. Learn to cook, bake a cake.
But it worked. You know the drill by now.
Wash your hands (until they are red and raw) and stay away from
others.Social distancing, a term we
had never heard a few months ago, will remain the most prudent bet even as more stringent guidelines are eased.
The Canadian Armed Forces members have shown they can successfully complete a mission regardless of how unexpected and unusual it may be. I’m sure if you look, you can find pictures on social media of wonderful cakes members have made.
But there is an underlying truth, just like the Beast that is so hard to see or find. It’s vigilance. And that’s something the Canadian Armed Forces is especially good at.
Whether the Beast reappears or vanishes, the Canadian Armed Forces has performed a vital role remaining vigilant. And will be well prepared if the Beast lashes out again.

Is the Beast still lurking?

At the Museum
Cold Lake Air Force Museum has thousands of artifacts. Many are on display and many have been archived and are in storage for future display and research purposes. All items at the museum were donated. Sometimes the donor knows little about the item, its purpose or history. Occasionally, museum staff are also stumped by an unusual or rare item. That’s where you come in. The Courier will regularly feature photos of some items and if you know anything about them please tell us. You can email [email protected] or contact the museum.
This item is easy to describe. It is a leather pouch that slides onto a belt. It’s about 10 cm wide and about 7 cm deep with a cover that folds over. Clearly shows Royal Canadian Air Force. Do you know how old it is or what it was used for?

Royal Canadian Air Cadets allows Alberta teen with ADHD to grow and succeed!
Les cadets de l’Aviation royale du Canada permettent à un adolescent albertain atteint de TDAH de s’épanouir et de réussir!
LLEYTON MADAY
I’m 14 years old, from Morinville, Alberta, and I have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). My brain works a bit differently than most kids, but that didn’t stop me from becoming a Flight Corporal with Edmonton’s 12 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCACS).
Being part of the Air Cadets has made a positive difference in my life. My parents say ADHD is a “neuro-developmental disorder.” Basically, that means my brain works a bit differently than my peers. I can have a hard time staying focused. I sometimes fidget or have trouble sitting still. I can act on impulse, without thinking about consequences.
Those may be my symptoms, but they are not everyone’s symptoms. I have two step-brothers who also have ADHD. Their symptoms are much different than mine. ADHD can affect people very differently.
Having ADHD doesn’t make me dumb. Many ADHD kids are actually very smart and do well in school, in sports, or even in the Air Cadets.
There are some myths about ADHD. Some people think it’s not a real medical condition. I can tell you from my own experience, it’s very real and it involves how your brain develops and works. In almost every classroom, there are one or two kids who have ADHD.
Some people think only boys can have ADHD, but many girls have ADHD too. People don’t have ADHD
because of something their parents did or because they eat too much sugar. It’s genetic — we are born with it.
Sometimes people think ADHD kids just need to try harder. The reality is that we are usually trying our absolute best, but our brain isn’t co-operating.
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 10. I was upset and felt bad at first. I didn’t want to be weird or different from other kids. But I learned that knowing about ADHD is the key to learning how to live with it.
When ADHD goes undiagnosed or untreated, it can lead to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Kids don’t understand why they are different.
Another important thing happened
to me when I was 10 — I learned about the Air Cadets.
My dad took me to my very first air show at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. After seeing all of the amazing aerobatics and aircraft, I thought “That’s what I want to do!” I got to meet some Air Cadets there. They told me all about the program and I was ready to join right away, but I had to wait until I turned 12. So, for the next two years, I learned all I could about the Air Cadet program. I visited a few squadrons around Edmonton to see which one I liked the best. Finally, three days after I turned 12, I signed up with 12 City of Edmonton RCACS.
On my first night, I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know anyone,
and I didn’t know what to expect. After the opening parade and before our first class, some of my fellow Air Cadets invited me to sit with them, and for the rest of the night we talked and became friends. They are still my friends to this day.
That first night was an amazing experience for me, because up to that point in my life I was a kid who could not find friends easily or really even talk to people. I knew I belonged at 12 Squadron and it quickly became like a second family to me.
Being an Air Cadet has provided me with great opportunities. In my first year as a Leading Air Cadet, I was in my Squadron and Zone, in effective speaking competitions, on drill team and I did ground school three times. In my second year as a Corporal, I was a section head in my flight. I have also been to summer training twice at Cold Lake CTC and I am hoping to do advanced aviation this summer.
As someone with ADHD, being an Air Cadet has given me a place where I fit in and where I can succeed. I have become more comfortable doing things I would not regularly do. I feel a sense of belonging.
If you have ADHD, talk about it. Accept it. Learn how to live with it. If you don’t have ADHD, try to understand and accept people with mental health issues. They need your support. If you want a place where you can do amazing things, as I’ve learned since joining, think about being part of the Air Cadets!
LLEYTON MADAY
J’ai 14 ans, je viens de Morinville, en Alberta, et je souffre d’un trouble déficitaire de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH). Mon cerveau fonctionne un peu différemment de celui de la plupart des jeunes, mais cela ne m’a pas empêché de devenir caporal de section du 12e Escadron des cadets de l’Aviation royale du Canada d’Edmonton.
Faire partie des cadets de l’Air a eu une grande incidence positive dans ma vie. Mes parents disent que le TDAH est un « trouble neurodéveloppemental ». En gros, cela signifie que mon cerveau ne fonctionne pas tout à fait comme celui de mes pairs. Je peux avoir du mal à rester concentré. Il m’arrive de gigoter ou d’avoir du mal à rester assis. Je peux agir sur une impulsion, sans penser aux conséquences.
Ce sont là mes symptômes, mais ceux d’autres personnes peuvent être bien différents. J’ai deux demi-frères qui souffrent également de TDAH. Leurs symptômes sont très différents des miens. Les effets du TDAH peuvent varier grandement d’une personne à l’autre.
Avoir un TDAH ne me rend pas stupide. De nombreux jeunes atteints de TDAH sont en fait très intelligents et réussissent bien à l’école, dans les sports ou même dans les cadets de l’Air.
Il existe quelques mythes au
sujet du TDAH. Certaines personnes pensent que ce n’est pas une vraie condition médicale. Je peux vous dire, d’après ma propre expérience, que c’est très réel et que cela affecte la façon dont le cerveau se développe et fonctionne. Dans presque toutes les classes, il y a un ou deux élèves atteints de TDAH.
Certaines personnes pensent que seuls les garçons peuvent être atteints de TDAH, mais beaucoup de filles le sont aussi. Les gens ne souffrent pas de TDAH à cause de quelque chose que leurs parents ont fait ou parce qu’ils mangent trop de sucre. C’est génétique
– on naît comme ça.Parfois, les gens pensent que les
jeunes atteints de TDAH n’ont qu’à faire plus d’efforts. La réalité est que nous faisons généralement de notre mieux, mais notre cerveau ne coopère pas.
J’ai reçu un diagnostic de TDAH à l’âge de 10 ans. Au début, j’étais contrarié et je me sentais mal. Je ne voulais pas être bizarre ou différent des autres. Mais j’ai appris que pour bien gérer son TDAH, il faut d’abord savoir qu’on l’a.
Lorsque le TDAH n’est pas diagnostiqué ou traité, il peut conduire à l’anxiété, à la dépression et à une faible estime de soi. Les jeunes ne comprennent pas pourquoi ils sont différents.
Un autre événement important qui
est survenu quand j’avais 10 ans : j’ai appris l’existence des cadets de l’Air.
Mon père m’a emmené à mon tout premier spectacle aérien à la Base des Forces canadiennes Cold Lake, en Alberta. Après avoir vu toutes les acrobaties aériennes et tous les aéronefs incroyables, je me suis dit : « C’est ce que je veux faire! ». J’ai pu y rencontrer quelques cadets de l’Air. Ils m’ont tout dit sur le programme et j’étais prêt à m’y inscrire tout de suite, mais j’ai dû attendre d’avoir 12 ans. Ainsi, pendant les deux années suivantes, j’ai appris tout ce que je pouvais sur le programme des cadets de l’Air. J’ai visité quelques escadrons près d’Edmonton pour voir lequel je préférais. Finalement, trois jours après mes 12 ans, je me suis inscrit au 12e Escadron de la ville d’Edmonton.
Le premier soir, j’étais un peu nerveux parce que je ne connaissais personne, et je ne savais pas à quoi m’attendre. Après la parade d’ouverture et avant notre première classe, certains de mes camarades des cadets de l’Air m’ont invité à m’asseoir avec eux, et pendant le reste de la soirée, nous avons parlé et sommes devenus amis. Ils sont toujours mes amis à ce jour.
Cette première soirée a été une expérience incroyable pour moi, car jusqu’à ce moment de ma vie, j’avais de la difficulté à me faire des amis et même à parler aux gens. Je savais que j’avais ma place au sein du 12e Escadron
et c’est rapidement devenu comme une deuxième famille pour moi.
Le fait d’être un cadet de l’Air m’a ouvert de grandes possibilités. Au cours de ma première année en tant que cadet de l’Air de 1re classe, je faisais partie de mon escadron et de ma zone, je participais à des compétitions d’art oratoire, je faisais partie de l’équipe d’exercice militaire et j’ai fait l’école de formation au sol trois fois. Au cours de ma deuxième année en tant que caporal, j’étais chef de section dans mon escadrille. J’ai également suivi deux formations d’été au centre d’instruction de cadets de Cold Lake et j’espère faire le cours d’aviation de niveau avancé cet été.
Les cadets de l’Air m’ont permis, en tant que personne souffrant de TDAH, de trouver un endroit où je peux m’intégrer et réussir. Je suis devenu plus à l’aise pour faire des choses que je ne faisais pas régulièrement. J’ai un fort sentiment d’appartenance.
Si vous souffrez de TDAH, parlez-en. Acceptez-le. Apprenez à vivre avec. Si vous n’êtes pas atteint de TDAH, essayez de comprendre et d’accepter les personnes aux prises avec des problèmes de santé mentale. Elles ont besoin de votre soutien. Si vous cherchez un endroit où vous pouvez faire des choses incroyables, comme j’ai appris à le faire depuis mon arrivée, pensez à joindre les cadets de l’Air!

Teens like me prosper in the Air Cadets because of the support the program offers.

PADRE MEGAN JONES
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have learned a lot about adaptability. We’ve adapted our work places and schedules. We’ve adapted to using new types of technology to stay connected. We’ve adapted our family and social lives. During challenging times, we learn new ways of adapting to ensure we take care of our priorities. Whether that’s accomplishing the mission, taking care of our families or being there to support one another.
And our 4 Wing Unit Sentinels have been an
important part of taking care of unit members in these challenging times. With many squadrons implementing team and shift schedules, unit chaplains can’t always be present to identify members who may be struggling. So the Sentinel peer support teams
have been essential in these circumstances. With over 160 trained Sentinels in units and squadrons across the Wing, they offer an initial listening ear for peers who may be struggling and can help to steer them to the right resources for help.
Established by the Royal Canadian Chaplain Service, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) SENTINEL Program is a peer support network made up of trained and supervised volunteer members of all ranks. Through their informed presence within their units, the Sentinels play an important role in the prevention, detection, and support for colleagues in distress. The program works because peers are best situated to identify signs of distress in colleagues and can be the initial point of contact for finding appropriate support and resources.
Sentinels continue to adapt
to these trying times in order to ensure they are available to offer support. At the beginning of June, we welcomed 17 new Sentinels into the program. They were the first Sentinels on the Wing to complete their training over Zoom.
Over the next few weeks, our Sentinels will be even easier to spot in unit lines as they start to wear the Sentinel Patch. So if you are struggling; whether it’s at home, with workplace conflict, feelings of anxiety or anything else, please reach out and let your Sqn Chaplain or Sentinels know. Start the conversation, Sqn Sentinels are here to listen and help.
Sentinels play an important role during these trying times

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
Specialists in soul and spirit offer essential service
I would like to extent my gratitude and a thank you to Mrs. Michelle Moar and the whole 4 Wing mental health team for the help with this article.
Do you have a problem that you can’t handle? Look for help! But who to go to? Psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist ... Or maybe a confessor or spiritual director? Here it is a short guide to specialists in soul and spirit.
Mental Health (MH) Nurses work collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team to asses and treat members of the Canadian Forces. MH nurses perform holistic assessment and provide treatment for all types of MH and psychosocial issues including treatment of substance abuse. They provide both treatment for MH disorders as well as general health promotion.
MH Nurses provide initial assessment, emergency triage (sick parade), as well as support individuals with a wide variety of issues ranging from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, addictions and OCD. They also support the needs of the member within in the unique occupational health medicine environment to ensure the member is safe to perform their duties.
The following are some of the duties of a MH nurse:• Design and implement programs that foster
mental health, assess dysfunction and assist with coping ability.
• Teach classes or facilitate support groups in the areas of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, postpartum depression, stress management, emotion regulation, or addictions.
• Monitor psychotropic medications for therapeutic responses, side effects as well as provide medication consultation and education.
• Assessment of members care needs, planning ongoing care including medical and therapeutic treatments.
• Identify community resources and help guide family members to those services.
• Suicide intervention and prevention • Act as a resource person for mental health
services and other health care providers within the CAF establishment.
There are currently two MH nurses at 22 CF Health Services Centre with many years of experience in a variety of in and outpatient services.
Clinical Psychologists focus on several areas of adjustment – psychological evaluation, providing psychotherapy, consulting, training, and supervising other mental health professionals, research, and teaching. Most clinical psychologists combine two or more of these categories.
Here are some of the kinds of areas that clinical psychologists focus on:
• Evaluation of adjustment issues, including anger, anxiety, depression, stress;
• Understanding the impact of prolonged emotional distress and trauma on psychological adjustment;
• Treatment for emotional and behavioral problems;
• Perception and management of pain; • Factors associated with physical health;
addictions, and behavioral problems;• Psychological factors and issues that impact
work and motivation; • Marital and family relationships;• Psychological factors necessary for maintaining
well-being;Clinical psychologists involved with military
members are often called on for assessment and consultation/diagnosis, to clarify and identify emotional and behavioral issues, develop, recommend and implement specialized psychotherapy for members.
Psychologists in Canadian military have an advanced degree in Clinical Psychology at the PhD level. Their education and professional development emphasizes a scientific approach to understanding human behavior; their training will include lengthy supervision of their professional skills.
Psychiatry is one of the specialties of medicine; a psychiatrist has completed an M.D. and
as in other specialties, sometimes practices general medicine prior to specializing. It takes four extra years following graduation as a medical doctor to attain certification as a specialist physician.
Psychiatry involves the diagnosis and care of mental disorders (Illnesses) such as depressive disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, various forms of psychosis, anxiety disorders and posttraumatic stress disorders. Treatments include pharmacology, psychotherapy, and laboratory analysis/interpretations.
The psychiatrist at 4 Wing Cold Lake (22 CF H Svcs) is also a flight surgeon, pilot, and is the Consultant to the Canadian Forces Aerospace / Under-Sea Medical Board (AUMB); he is asked to address issues, cases, assessments, and the care of those consulted in Aerospace Medicine involving air crew and ATC for psychiatric disorders.
Social workers. Military and civilian social workers working in CAF Mental Health Services have advanced post-secondary education in the field of social work with a specialization in clinical social work.
CAF social workers help members address concerns which could include difficult adjustments, emotion regulation, relationship issues (couples, parent/child, families and Chain of Command) diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder,
substance use and other behavioral addictions. CAF social workers may be asked by the Chain
of Command to provide an assessment of specific member situations such as a Cost Contingency Moves.
CONFESSORWho is he?A priest of the Catholic Church.What he does?The task of every priest is primarily a sacramental
service, including the sacrament of penance and reconciliation, commonly called confession. In the sacrament of Penance, the penitent confesses his sins and is made one, reconciled with God and the Church, which results in forgiveness of sins.
When to report to him?Always, when we commit a serious sin - conscious,
voluntary and concerning important matter. In addition, it is worth regularly using the sacrament of penance to experience the healing grace of God and form your conscience. It is good practice to find a permanent confessor - a priest to whom we confess regularly, thanks to which in-depth work on our vices or weaknesses is possible. Confession is intended to cleanse us from our sins, and not only to improve our well-being, so we do not confess our difficult life situations, hoping that the priest will solve our problems - his role is to forgive sins, life problems will help us solve other specialists.
SPIRITUAL DIRECTORWho is he/she?A clergy person or lay person with theological
preparation, accompanying them on the path of faith.What they do?They lead to deepening our relationship with God.
They support the path of spiritual development and indicate how to open more to the Holy Spirit.
If he is a priest, he may or may not be a regular confessor of the person being led.
When to report to them?When the desire for “something more” arises in
us in spiritual life. When we care about deepening our faith and strengthening our relationship with God. Spiritual direction is particularly important in the period when we make important life decisions regarding calling and the further path of faith. It is also valuable when our commitment to spiritual life goes beyond the necessary minimum - it is good to have a person who will direct us in a specific spirituality path. While we confess our sins to our confessor, we talk to our spiritual director about our inner movements, ways of prayer and reflections from reading God’s Word. Meetings can be regular or ad hoc.

Fitness Co-ordinator Tovah Fenske leads an outdoor fitness class on Monday, June 15.
CLIFF KENYON
4 Wing Fitness Co-ordinator Tovah Fenske said she was eager to get outside and back to the business of fitness.
“Take it slow and easy,” she told participants in the June 15 class, the first since the pandemic hit in March and closed the Col J.J. Parr Sports Centre.
The class, which took about a month to arrange due to new requirements and regulations, was held outside on the soccer pitch behind Col J.J. Parr Sports Centre.
“We don’t yet know when we can hold classes inside yet,” she said, leading the outdoor version. “PSP (Personnel
Support Programs) is working on it.”For some fitness classes
requirements indoor are as yet unknown. But it is expected there will be strict rules regarding social distancing.
Even with classes being held outdoors there are rules, said Fenske:
“There is no shouting, no singing, no chanting, no spitting allowed.”
And she warned participants, probably rusty from missing such classes, to go easy.
“You don’t want to be too sore tomorrow.”
Space in the outdoor classes, due to social distancing, is limited but Fenske said PSP hopes soon to the holding them daily.

Be aware of some new protocols. Only the west doors (the main

The Wellness Centre
