I’ve known many veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Even though I was born a mere 13 years after the end of WWII and just five years after Korea, I always looked upon war vets as witnesses to ancient history. Of course Canada’s United Nations peacekeeping tradition has continued through my lifetime, generating thousands of veterans. The Cold War has its veterans too – Canadians who were engaged in the fortyyear standoff between NATO and the Sovietled Warsaw Pact. And now, since the first Persian Gulf War of the early 1990s through the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and today’s actions against ISIL in Iraq, another generation of Canadians is involved in combat duty, and we have a new generation of war veterans – many of them in their twenties. Veterans Week begins November 4 every year and runs until Remembrance Day. The two commemorations are linked, but they are also different in a profound way. Remembrance Day was not instituted to honour our veterans. It was created by veterans to honour their fallen comrades – those who never lived to be veterans. Let’s stand with our vets, young and old, and offer our gratitude for their courage and their sacrifice. And let’s join them in remembering their friends who sacrificed everything. *** I’d like to thank a couple of special contributors to this issue. Cpl Paul Colterman has contributed historical articles for us over the past year, and he graciously volunteered to write the excellent Remembrance Day reflection on pages 6 and 7. Peter Beninger is an “old army buddy” of mine from the 1982 Band of the Ceremonial Guard, now a photographer in Ottawa. He generously shared the picture you see on today’s front page.

Volunteers packed up the boxes last Thursday at MFRC. Each package contains donated items to make the desert camp seem a little more like Cold Lake. “We asked the deployed members what they’d like,” said Melanie Bossence of MFRCS. “They told us they could use some good coffee and some beef jerky from Hamel’s Meats.” The deployment didn’t have any coffee at first, and now they’re surviving on instant coffee, Bossence said. The local Tim Hortons stepped up with donations of individual coffee packets, a large quantity of bulk coffee and a coffee-maker. Hamel’s contributed the jerky, and Dollar Store Plus donated seasonal craft materials, little footballs and other small items. Bossence is more than Lakeland United Way pleased with the support. and the Catholic Women’s “There’s always people League donated funds for deployed, but it’s been the project. a while since Cold Lake has experienced a big deployment like this one,” she said. The response from businesses, charities and volunteers made it Jeff Gaye Volunteers formed an assembly line to put together morale packages for deployed personnel.

The ABCs of UAVs Captain Jackie Beaudette, 4 Wing Air Traffic Control With technological advances, electrical c o m p o n e n t miniaturization and lower prices, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become much more common in Canada. While UAVs are popular with recreational users, many commercial uses are also being developed. The film industry has been using UAVs for years to get aerial shots, and just last month there was a crash in Vancouver during filming. While no one was injured, the city placed a moratorium on UAV use while Transport Canada investigated the crash. Once the investigation was complete, the moratorium was lifted. No one was charged. UAV activity has been increasing: the number of UAV permit requests in BC rose from just six in 2007 to 178 in 2013. Another recent incident in Vancouver involved a hobby UAV with a quad copter and mounted camera. It was seen flying close to the approach corridor used by airliners flying to and from the international airport. Some hobbyists don’t seem to realize that these actions are not only illegal, they put the lives of hundreds of people at risk. If a UAV was to strike the windscreen of a passenger jet or get sucked into the engine the results could be catastrophic. What many people don’t realize is that airspace is regulated and the airspace in areas surrounding airports such as 4 Wing and the Cold Lake Regional airport is controlled. This means that no one should be operating an aircraft, model aircraft or UAV close to these areas without expressed permission from the control tower. This helps to ensure the safety of all. In Cold Lake, the 4 Wing control tower operates a circular control zone with an 11 nautical mile (20 kilometre) radius from the surface to 8,000 feet. This area includes (but is not limited to) the regional airport, Drake’s field and a large portion of the southern half of the lake. It is illegal for anyone to operate a model aircraft or UAV in this zone without prior permission from the base. The base has agreements with the local model rocket club and the radio control flying club that outline safe locations and procedures for these hobbies. We encourage you to reach out to these organizations if you wish to take to the skies with your hobby aircraft. According to Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), the difference between a model aircraft and a UAV is weight and purpose of use. Anything less than 35 kilograms is a model aircraft, for recreational purposes only, while anything over that is a UAV. CARs state that while neither a UAV nor model aircraft is to be flown in a manner which may be hazardous Member of: Guidelines for Submissions The Courier News & Publishing welcomes voluntary article and photographic submissions from all members of our military community.

Under the new exemptions, a Special Flight Operations Certificate will not be required for UAVs under 2 kilograms and certain operations involving UAVs under 25 kilograms. The new approach will apply to commercial operations and contribute to a strong safety regime for those on the ground and in the skies. Once the changes come into effect later this month, operators must check on Transport Canada's website if the exemptions apply to them and respect specific safety conditions, including requirements to operate within visual line-of-sight, maximum altitudes and away from built-up areas and aerodromes. UAV operators within 4 Wing’s control zone will still require permission from the base. In addition, Transport Canada is simplifying the application process and reducing the time it takes to issue Special Flight Operations Certificates for larger UAV operators. In October, transport minister Lisa Raitt launched the Government of Canada's national safety awareness campaign for UAVs, which aims to help Canadians better understand the risks and responsibilities of flying UAVs.

Where that saying comes from and the meaning behind it may not be as well known. The very first Armistice Day was held after an appeal by King George V himself in November of 1919. The first Armistice Day was acknowledged by having all activities halted for two minutes of silence a year to the day, down to the minute, that the Armistice was enacted officially ending The Great War (later to be known as World War I). Canada adopted Britain’s Armistice Day Commemoration as held by all Commonwealth countries. In May 1921 Canada moved our Armistice Day to the Monday of the week in which November 11th fell, relegating Armistice Day to be held alongside Thanksgiving festivities. Fortunately, this did not hold up for very long. On March 18, 1931, MP A.W. Neil stood in the House of Commons and introduced a motion to have Armistice Day moved and observed on “November 11th and on no other date,” bringing it back to the original time DND LCol John McRae with his dog Bonneau in Belgium. 784 (Diamond Jubilee) Wing Air Force Association of Canada Book your special event with us!

Another MP stood on that day and put forth a motion to rename the observance “Remembrance Day,” and put the focus of the commemorations upon the soldiers. Parliament upheld these resolutions and Canada’s first “Remembrance Day” was held November 11, 1931. In other words, they asked a country to stop and remember its soldiers and their sacrifice, rather than focus on the politicians and the document they had signed – a day of honour that is observed to this day by Canadians from coast to coast to coast, and the world over. Upon remembering the sacrifices made by the untold number of soldiers, a single image stands out among all others as the representation of our collective remembrance: the poppy. Accepted in numerous countries as the symbol of Remembrance Day, Armistice Day, Poppy Day, Remembrance Sunday, Veterans Day or Anzac Day, we can thank a great Canadian, LCol John McRae MD, for bringing the poppy to our collective memory. The poem “In Flanders Fields” has become a cornerstone of our commemoration every year because of the strong impact the poppy had on LCol McRae, growing wildly in the Belgian battlefields while he was composing the poem during a break in the fighting of the Great War. LCol McRae stepped away from the war to remember a lost friend. In Flanders Fields was written in memory of his friend and the nearly 6,000 Canadians lost during the Second Battle of Ypres (April 22 through 24, 1915). Written in just 48 hours in the trenches of Belgium, an act to remember a lost friend has helped the world remember and honour all who were lost. LCol McRae would never dream of the significance his simple poem would hold to Canada and the rest of the world, as he did not live to see Armistice Day. He died of pneumonia January 28, 1918 in Boulogne France, ten months before the Armistice was signed. Remembrance Day has become a national day of honour for all Canadians that made the ultimate sacrifice from WWI, WWII, Korean War, all peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan. To date there have been approximately 1.5 million Canadians wear the uniform and stand for Canada and its allies. There have unfortunately been 114,460 Canadians give their lives while serving our country, and many, many Canadians that have been wounded. The number of Canadians killed while serving: WWI – 66,665 WWII – 46,998 Korean War – 516 Peacekeeping Missions – 121 Afghanistan – 158 And now we have lost two more on Canadian soil, in addition to the many military personnel killed and injured during peacetime training accidents. These are the people we pause to remember. These are the people to whom a country owes a debt of gratitude. These are the people who have helped forge and shape our country. 2014 has been a year of anniversaries, a year of milestones, a year of heartache, and a year in which we have changed as Canadians. Without these Canadians paying the ultimate price, abroad and now at home, our anniversaries and milestones would not have the significance and meaning that they do to a nation formed by courage, resilience and an unshakeable determination to stand for what is right. When we as brothers and sisters, friends and family – as Canadians – gather on Remembrance Day to honour our fallen, let us come together again and uphold the virtues of those that have gone before us as we stand once more, with our people in harm’s way bearing the flag that unites us all.

One of of managing your stress. which is using alcohol Alcohol does nothing to teach you how to handle your emotions when under stress. What will you do when the same situations continue to cause you stress? Continue to have a drink each day? Well what if the stress builds, what will you do then? Have two drinks each day to help you forget? When does it stop? How much do you have to consume in order to “forget” about the stress of the day or other worries in your life? Or how much will you have to drink to help you sleep at night? Because although some people feel that having a drink helps them sleep, alcohol actually disturbs the sleep process and causes increased wakefulness throughout the night. Although you may be asleep, it is not a good sleep and poor sleep can cause stress on the body. And here we have just created a vicious circle where what we are using to cope with our stress (alcohol) is actually causing more stress which in turn may cause us to drink more alcohol to cope. We need to find some way to stop this cycle before it becomes a problem. If you consume alcohol, take a moment and figure out why. If you are someone who has a drink or two in order to cope with the stress of the day I encourage you to start looking at alternative methods, like those I mentioned earlier in this article. If you are concerned about your alcohol consumption, please contact Mental Health at 780-840-8000, local 6822 or 6823. For more information on alcohol or stress management techniques, don’t hesitate to contact me at 780-8408000, local 6966.

About two thirds of the existing members are civilians, he said. “That’s great – we need players, and everyone’s contribution is important.” But civilians’ work schedules don’t often permit them to perform base parades in the daytime, he said, so it’s important to build up the band’s military membership. “We could really use some more woodwinds right now, especially clarinets and saxophones,” WO Martin said. He is a highly accomplished trumpet player himself, with experience in everything from classical music to jazz and R&B. He also doubles as a string bass player, and he’s looking for opportunities to play and for the band to contribute to Cold Lake’s military and community life. “This is a great place. It’s beautiful country, I just love it,” he said. “For me it’s like returning to the scene of the crime – this is where I started with military bands. There has never been a former volunteer come back to a band as Bandmaster before.” If you have a parade or mess dinner in your future, you will be seeing WO Cam Martin. WO Martin is the new 4 Wing Bandmaster, taking the reins from newly-promoted (and posted) MWO Francois Metivier. He arrived in Cold Lake this week, and he’s eager to get started. “I know Cold Lake very well, and this is exactly the posting I wanted,” WO Martin said. “The 4 Wing Band has an excellent reputation among the RCAF’s volunteer bands, so I know I’ll be working with a good group.” WO Martin isn’t exactly new to the band. He played with the group as a volunteer trumpet player from 1984 - 1988 before remustering from Supply Tech to the Musician trade. Since then he has been to the Canadian Forces School of Music (Borden); the PPCLI Band (Calgary); the Malahat Band and the Naden Band (Esquimalt); and most recently the Royal Canadian Artillery Band in Edmonton. After 26 years in a professional milieu, WO Martin is keen to work Jeff Gaye with volunteer players. “Back to the scene of the crime”: WO Cam Martin is the new Bandmaster of the “It’s a golden moment in 4 Wing Band, where he began his military music career 30 years ago.

Page 10 The Courier News & Publishing Tuesday, 11 November, 2014 Grade Nine Students Gain Workplace Experience Jeff Gaye Some local students got a sense of what their military parents do all day at the twentieth annual “Take Our Kids to Work Day” last Wednesday. The program, an initiative of The Learning Partnership, has been giving Grade 9 or equivalent students a head-start on their future “by helping them explore their career options and connecting them directly with the world of work,” The Learning Partnership’s website says. LCol Joe Mullins, Acting Wing Commander, says 4 Wing supports the program. “It provides a good opportunity for our children to see what we do at work, and possibly influence their career choices,” he said. Maj Reagh Sherwood of AETE helped set up a tour of that unit and 417 Sqn for half a dozen students. He said it went well from both the RCAF’s and the students’ point of view. “They got to experience a lot of trades and disciplines,” he said. “The takeaway for the kids is probably that they didn’t know how many people it takes to make things happen. They got to see us working as teams, and to see people who are excited about doing their jobs.” Falling on the first Wednesday in November every year, Take Our Kids to Work began in the Greater Toronto Area. It is now a nationallyrun flagship program involving more than 250,000 students, 18,000 teachers and 75,000 organizations, spanning every province and territory. Roy Ripkens, Acting Superintendent of Northern Lights School Division, thinks having students spend a day on the job is a good idea. “This is a great opportunity for our students to explore career options and make connections between what they are learning in school and their future career opportunities,” he said. “The feedback we have had from employers and the parents involved is always very positive.” Jeff Gaye MCpl Tremblay shows a grade nine student 417 Sqn’s parachute system.
