Hundreds of cadets complete their summer training in Trenton
By Makala Chapman
Hard working and dedi-cated are just two of the
attributes that can be used to describe the Trenton Ca-det Training Centre’s (TCTC) most recent graduates. To celebrate the � nal day of their summer courses, more than 600 cadets gathered in front of friends and family for
a graduation parade held at 8 Wing Trenton on August 17. Despite the inclement weath-er, the cadets of the Intermedi-ate Military Band, Advanced Military Band, Basic Aviation, Basic Aviation Technology Aerospace, Drill and Ceremo-nial Instructor and General Training Courses were all smiles. Presiding over the graduation
and assuming the role of re-viewing of� cer was 437 Trans-port Squadron’s commanding of� cer Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col) Diane Baldasaro. In her address, Lt.-Col Bal-dasaro shared her apprecia-tion for the Cadet Program and gave credit to the pro-gram for having helped her achieve her dreams of becom-ing a military pilot.
“Life is full of opportuni-ties,” she shared. “What you do with these opportunities is your choice and nobody else’s. Each and every one of you should be extremely proud of what you’ve accom-plished.”

The Skerlans: Sharing a passion for flight
Major Skerlan was given the honour to pin glider wings on his daughter’s uniform during the Glider Pilot Wings parade.

By Makala Chapman
It’s been a memorable summer for father-daughter duo Major (Maj) Steve Skerlan and cadet Kate Skerlan – both aviation enthusiasts. As the chief flying instructor at the Moun-tain View Cadet Flying Training Centre (MVCFTC), Maj Skerlan is responsible for overseeing the instruction of cadets from all over the country on how to fly a glider, including his own daughter. “It’s really rewarding to see young peo-ple’s passion for aviation, which begins at this very school,” he said. “This place really is the beginning of an opportunity to taste flight.” As a former air cadet who also learned to fly glider aircraft at Mountain View more than three decades ago, he added it was exciting to now see his daughter follow in his footsteps. “As a parent you’re always helping your
kids try to achieve things in life,” he said, “so to see when she finally flew solo for her first time, that was the greatest thrill for me to watch.” Maj Skerlan then recalled a recent flight where he got the chance to fly with his daughter in the pilot’s seat. “It was great to fly with her and it was everything I could have hoped for,” he said with a smile. “Like many of the other cadets, she showed up here with virtually no flying experience or skills and now she’s flying by herself. It’s incredible how fast the ca-dets acquire the necessary skills.” As for what the future holds, Maj Skerlan said he looked forward to watching his daughter pursue her dreams and hopes to always remember their summer to-gether at Mountain View. Just down the road from the Mountain View Cadet Flying Training Centre at the Picton Airport, the second location where cadets train, 16-year-old Kate Skerlan
could be found preparing for a solo flight. When asked why she got into gliding, she noted since it was a bit of a family tradi-tion that she hoped to continue. “I was so excited and inspired when I first saw my big brother get his glider pilot li-cence, so I knew there was no way I could pass up this opportunity,” she said. “I’ve been working hard ever since to make sure I succeed in this program.” Initially nervous that she wasn’t going to do well in the course, week by week the youngest Skerlan said her confidence grew and had since enjoyed every min-ute. When asked if it was intimidating having her father as the chief flying instructor, she nodded, but added he had always been supportive and was a great resource. As for why she would suggest the pro-gram to future cadets, she said it was as simple as the people you would meet and the unique experiences to be had.
“You may never get another chance like this in your life,” she said. “You make so many amazing friends and you get to learn to fly. It’s certainly worth all the work and effort to get here.” While the youngest Skerlan isn’t quite certain on her future, she said becoming an F-18 fighter pilot or a CC-130 Hercules pilot is currently at the top of her list. “It’s hard to not look around now and not think about aviation,” she said. “It’s just been an awesome summer and it’s been great to have my dad here to support me and see me do all these great things.”

Off the Job SafetySafety doesn’t punch a time clock, so when you leave work, take your safety attitude home with you. That way, you’ll return for the next shift. You are much more likely to be injured on your own time. National Safety Council statistics indicate seven out of eight fatalities and over half of disabling injuries for workers happen away from the job. Example
Charlie’s wife wanted a safety gate on their basement stairs doorway for their child as the baby had almost tumbled downstairs when the door was left open. As a temporary � x, he nailed a piece of plywood across the doorway to the height of a toddler’s chest. Who was � rst to forget about the makeshift barrier? Charlie. He nearly broke his neck when carrying his tools and fell over the obstacle.
How to protect yourself:
• At home Lift safely; furniture moving results in many injured backs. Keep your home free of fall hazards. Repair broken � ooring or torn carpeting and clean up spills immediately. Use a stepladder to reach awkward places instead of standing on a kitchen chair.
• Fire safety Regularly inspect for hazards such as combustible materials. Keep smoke detectors and � re extinguishers in good operating condition. Store � ammable liquids in well-ventilated areas outdoors.
• Electrical Make sure you are protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter when you use powered tools in any damp environment. Don’t overload electrical cir-cuits.
• Garage or workshop Use the correct tool for the job, and wear the right personal protective equip-ment (PPE). Lawn-mowing and operating other power tools call for protec-tive eyewear and safety footwear. Weekend construction and pruning proj-ects require hardhats.
• Car or truck Most traf� c crashes happen close to home and at low speeds, so buckle up. Remember that fatigue or anger can impair driving ability.
• Out for fun Learn how to do sports and other recreational pursuits safely. Wear the right protective sports gear. Exercise regularly; � tness reduces the chances of get-ting hurt. Avoid using drugs or alcohol especially before activities requiring concentration and alertness, such as boating. Learn to swim.
Don’t leave your safety attitude at work when you punch the time clock at the end of your shift.

Also taking the time to share a few words with the cadets was Lt.-Col Dave Forster, the commanding officer of the TCTC. He too thanked the cadets for all of their hard work and also took the time to ac-knowledge the adult staff and staff cadets who he said played a big part in the suc-cess of this summer’s training.“You put in a lot of long days and lot of hours,” said Lt.-Col Forster. “The results of that effort is standing in front of you now.”
Less than 35 kilometres away, Royal Ca-nadian Air Cadets participating in the Glider Pilot Scholarship program also graduated on August 17. Located at the Mountain View Cadet Flying Training Centre in Canadian Forces Detachment Mountain View in Prince Edward Coun-ty, close to 70 air cadets stood on parade. During this six-week program, cadets were given the chance to earn their Trans-port Canada Glider Pilot Licence. Several graduates were awarded various medals and awards for their hard work and com-mitment during the ceremony. Among
those to receive acknowledgement was cadet Michaela Trevisan, who received the Porter Airlines Star Award worth $500 for the continuation of flying. This award is given to a cadet who demonstrates excellence in leadership through teamwork, as recognized by his or her peers.Following the graduation, 16-year-old Trevisan said she couldn’t have been more excited and honoured to earn her wings as a pilot. “This is one of my proudest accomplish-ments to date,” she said. “It was really
nice to be out on parade and see everyone else around me graduating as well.”While the days were long and sometimes hard, she noted there wasn’t a thing she would have changed about her experi-ence and would miss being out on the flight line.“I’m definitely going to miss the people the most,” she said. “You make really great friends here, so it’s going to be hard not seeing everyone every day.” As for her future, Trevisan said she hopes to take the Power Pilot Scholarship Course next summer.

We are pleased to announce that the � rst historic relic of the Avro Arrow free-� ight program has been recovered. It was de-livered back to land at CFB Trenton on August 13, 2018 after resting on the bed of Lake Ontario for over 64 years.This historic discovery appears to be the
grandfather to the delta wing design of the Arrow program. It is one of three original free-� ight models from the Ar-row design program launched into the lake in 1954 as a part of a series of tests to develop the CF 105 Avro Arrow.The “Raise the Arrow” team is continuing its search work for the remaining Avro Arrow free-� ight models in Lake Ontario.

Military police present cheque to Military Police Fund for
Blind ChildrenBy Master Corporal Heather Shank
The Military Police Fund for Blind Chil-dren (MPFBC) was founded in 1957 and is operated entirely by active and retired Military Police volunteers. All funds raised are used to improve the quality of life for visually impaired children and young adults between the ages of 18 and 21. To raise money for the MPFBC, 21 Military Police Flight ran an online auction with items that were donated by numerous lo-cal businesses, hosted several unit BBQs, and donated tip money given to MP bar-tenders during events at the T-Bird Club, the Trenton MP mess. On August 12, 21 MP Flight was honored to host members of the Military Police Na-tional Motorcycle Relay (MPNMR) which travels across Canada from Victoria, Brit-ish Columbia to St. Johns, Newfoundland over the span of 27 days. This is the tenth year of the 27-day relay. Approximately 35 riders were treated to dinner and a night of entertainment at the T-Bird Club.At the event, the Ontario Chair of the MPNMR, Wayne Kendall, was presented with the $1722 that was raised by 21 MP Flight to date.

Two-storey homes, square metre for square metre, provide the most living space on a property, and this three-bedroom family home is no exception.
Entry is through a covered porch with a veranda to the left. Once in the foyer, double doors open to a den, with the U-shaped staircase to the second � oor beyond. A win-dow above the stairwell will let in lots of natural light.
The great room, separated from the foyer by an archway, has a lofty sloped ceiling that is open to the � oor above. A gas � replace
is � anked by entertainment units, and large windows look onto a covered patio at the back of the home.
From the dining area, access to the covered deck is easy, through sliding glass doors. A prep island divides the kitchen from the din-ing area, which has large windows overlooking the back garden.
Natural light will enter the kitchen through windows over the double sink, which is set into a corner at an angle. The U-shaped counter con-� guration will provide adequate working space as well as ef� ciency.
A walk-in pantry will offer extra storage space.
Across from the powder room located near the foyer is a handy coat closet. Another closet is included in the laundry room, which has access to the double garage, large enough to include a workshop.
Upstairs, the master suite looks out to the back garden. The gen-erous en-suite includes a soaker tub as well as double basins and a shower stall. The walk-in closet will be roomy enough for a couple’s clothing and accesso-
ries.
The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bath. A linen closet is located outside the en-trance to the third bedroom.
Part of the second � oor is open to the great room below, and is railed for safety.
On the outside, the home is clad in horizontal siding, with wood-en shingles and decorative wood-work in the gables. Pilasters with brick bases mark the entry and veranda, and brick accents � ank the two garage doors.

Minister of National Defence Visits Canadian Armed Forces
members in the North
The Commanding Officer of CFS Alert, Major Sandra Andrusiak, and the Station War-rant Officer, Master Warrant Officer Patrick Marceau, greet the Honourable Harjit Sajjan as he arrives at CFS Alert.
Department of National Defence
The Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Harjit Sajjan recently paid a visit to several northern Canadian Armed Forces establishments and units. His trip began on August 13 in Yellowknife, NT, where he highlighted the modernization and life extension of 440 Transport Squad-ron’s CC-138 Twin Otter aircraft, a highly adaptable and indispensable aircraft that allows the CAF to operate in the unfor-giving environment of Canada’s north. On August 14, Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert had the pleasure of wel-coming the Minister along with several other high-profile visitors, including the Deputy Commander of the RCAF, Major General Frawley, and the Commander of Joint Task Force North, Brigadier General Carpentier. Shortly after their arrival, the visitors got the chance to experience a unique CFS Alert tradition: the “Clap In” ceremony in which station members greet arriving personnel as they enter the station. The Minister was given a first-hand look into how the Defence Team is enhancing
its ability to operate in the Arctic and keep Canada strong at home, which is a key commitment of the Department of Na-tional Defence’s defence policy, Strong, Secure, Engaged.The visit included a tour of the CAF fa-cilities in Alert to announce a number of infrastructure improvements, as well as a demonstration of defence research under-way to improve the CAF’s capacity in the Arctic.During a tour of the surrounding area, the VIPs also got a chance to view the arctic landscape and its wildlife, such as arctic hares. The highlight of the tour, however, was encountering three polar bears swim-ming just off shore. The trip concluded with a stop at the fu-ture Nanisivik Naval Facility, which is completing construction at its location near Arctic Bay, NU. The CAF will begin operating this port fa-cility in the next year as one of a number of new Arctic-focused capabilities to im-prove the Navy’s ability to sustain opera-tions in Canada’s North.
