Construction is progressingwell on a new $6.8 millionhospital at 8 Wing/CFBTrenton.

The new facility, targetedfor completion next May, willstreamline the way healthcare is offered to military per-sonnel stationed here.

“The need for a newfacility has been known for anumber of years, but theopportunity to do somethingabout it really surfaced aboutthree years ago as part of theHealth Care reform project,”said Lieutenant-CommanderMurray Doggett,Commanding Officer of 24Health Services Centre.

“At that time it was iden-tified that there were a lot ofour medical clinics across thecountry that really, reallyneeded to be replaced. Thiswas identified as the top pri-ority.We have one of the old-est buildings and it’s also inthe worse state of repair.”

The rear part of the hos-pital was demolished over

two years ago after beingcondemned. The buildingwas constructed in 1938.

“It’s not current fortoday’s health standards,”saidLCmdr Doggett. “For exam-ple, the patient flow is notvery good at all.”

Currently, medical anddental staff are spread out onthe south side of the base infour separate buildings.

“When it was decided tobuild a new hospital, themedical branch was exploringa new health care deliverymodel where we were look-ing at a more up-to-date pri-mary care model. The newclinic is designed with twoCare Delivery Units(CDUs), the core area wherepatients will come. This willbe the first clinic in theCanadian Forces that’s beingbuilt with this new care deliv-ery model,” said LCmdrDoggett.”

Depending on what sec-tion you work with, patientswill be served by one of thesecare units.

“Instead of going intoclinic and seeing whatever

doctor is available,you’ll go toyour specific Care DeliveryUnit.For the patient it meansthat CDU should know himor her a little better becausethey have a smaller popula-tion to serve,” stated LCmdrDoggett.

Each CDU will have acivilian physician, a militaryphysician, a nurse practition-er, a physician assistant andthree medical technicians,plus some administrativesupport.

“The biggest advantageof the new facility is that all ofthe health care services willbe consolidated in one site,”said LCmdr Doggett.

The new hospital will behome to labs, x-ray services,the pharmacy, physiotherapy,preventive medicine, dentalservices, and an enhancedmental health section.

“It will be one-stop shop-ping,” said LCmdr Doggett.“We’re not adding a lot ofspecialists, so it’s not going togreatly improve the numberof services we offer. Patientswill just find it more conven-ient.”

Editor’s note: This is thesecond in a series of cur-rent and former 8Wing/CFB Trenton andDND sites in the Quintearea.

With more than 10 yearsof serving at theMilitary AeronauticalC o m m u n i c a t i o n sSystem (MACS) site inCarrying Place, onewould think that MCplDave Richardson wouldtire of correcting people.

“Actually, we do gettired of telling peoplethat we’re not a radarstation over here,”Richardson says of thesmall WTISS-operatedbuilding located on theLoyalist Parkway inCarrying Place, approxi-mately 20 km southwestof 8 Wing / CFBTrenton.

“A lot of people thinkthat we’re some sort ofsecret radar site or some-thing, but we’re not,”explains Richardson, aradio operator. “Our jobis to provide 24/7 com-munications link-ups toour airborne assets, andthat includes providinghigh frequency radio,phone links and weatherreports, especially forSearch and Rescue.”

The MACS site atCarrying Place, like its

‘little brother’ site locat-ed further south at PointPetre, is distinguished bya relatively small redbrick building surround-ed by an impressive arrayof 100-foot antennaeand a secure fence line,which may give thecasual observer theimpression that some-thing ultra-secret orextra special is going on.

“No, not all. There’snothing really specialgoing on here. If we did-n’t have secure access,we’d probably get a lot ofcurious onlookers stop-ping by as we’re rightnext to a busy touristhighway,” saysRichardson. “And we arelocated on DND prop-erty away from the mainbase, so we need the

security.”The staff at the

MACS site is splitbetween radio operatorsand telecommunicationsequipment maintainers.

While standing infront of a huge stack ofsophisticated communi-cations equipment, CplBrian Isbister, anA e r o s p a c eTelecommunica t ionsand InformationSystems technician whohas worked at the sitesince 2000, admits heenjoys working at a facil-ity away from the hustleand bustle of the mainbase in Trenton.

“It’s our job to keepall this high tech equip-ment up and running,”says Isbister. “It ’s nothigh profile but there’s

always a lot to do and wekeep very busy and stayvery focused without anydistractions. You know,there’s no place to hideover here!”

Cpl John Adlington,another radio operatorwho has served morethan 10 years at the site,fondly recalls one of hismore bizarre radio con-versations.

“Back in the mid-1990s, I was monitoringhigh frequency radioand happened to hearthe space shuttleDiscovery calling out foran ‘any station’ radiocheck, so I gave him a‘this is Trenton militarybase, read you, over’response. He came backwith a ‘thank youTrenton.’ That was pret-ty cool. I figured theymust have been launch-ing into orbit caughtinbetween NASAcomms links withFlorida and Texas, so Ihelped out. That cer-tainly doesn’t happenhere every day.”

Adlington, whomakes a long commutedaily from his home inNapanee, admits he’sbeen at Carrying Placefor a very long time.

“Ten years really is along haul but workingover here makes time fly.We do a lot of reallygreat stuff in a superlocation and get along

great with the maintain-ers. But, hey, they’llprobably make me the

DA holder for the entiresite if I stay here anylonger!”

1974 – The Department of National Revenue is eliminating the income taxpayable by members of the Canadian Forces on assisted transportation andtraveling expenses on leave. Since income tax regulations were changed in1972, the money being claimed has been included in regular pay and auto-matically taxed.Now, claims will be paid separately…The view has been taken that paymentsmade as assistance on leave travel should not continue to be considered as per-sonal living expense subject to taxation.

1984 – In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the RCAF, homecoming cel-ebrations will be held at 8 Wing.

Sademande est la première approuvée dansle cadre d’un nouveau programme dugouvernement. C’est le Major AngeloBattiston, commandant de l’Unité desoutien de secteur Chilliwack, qui lui aremis le chèque.Le programme de reconnaissance de 50millions de dollars destiné aux ancienscombattants canadiens ayant participé àdes expériences de guerre chimiqueentre 1940 et la fin des années 1970 àSuffield (Alberta) et au Laboratoire deguerre chimique à Ottawa a été annon-cé le 19 février 2004 par le ministre de laDéfense nationale et le ministred’Anciens Combattants Canada. Lasomme forfaitaire de 24 000 $ s’ajouteaux prestations de retraite auxquelles cesanciens combattants peuvent avoir droit.« Des anciens combattants comme M.Wheeler ont fait preuve d’un dévoue-ment sans borne et se sont sacrifiés pourépargner à leurs compagnons d’armesles horreurs de la guerre chimique », adéclaré l’honorable David Pratt, mi-nistre de la Défense nationale. « Cesvolontaires ont jeté les fondements de laréponse du Canada à la menace trèsréelle de la guerre chimique – une me-nace qui plane encore aujourd’hui. » « M.

souligne officiellement la contributiondes personnes comme lui et témoigne del’immense gratitude de la populationcanadienne à leur égard. » En 1966, alors qu’il était poseur delignes au Quartier général et àl’Escadron des transmissions du 1erGroupe-brigade du Canada à Calgary(Alberta), le caporal Wheeler a participéà un essai au cours duquel on a utiliséune dilution de gaz moutarde à la sta-tion expérimentale de Suffield.L’expérience avait pour but de créer unagent d’entraînement que l’on pourraitutiliser en toute sécurité durant les exer-cices de campagne. Grâce aux donnéesainsi recueillies, les militaires qui ontparticipé à d’autres exercices à plusgrande échelle ont pu s’exposer à desconditions de guerre chimique réalistesqui posaient un risque négligeable pourleur santé et leur sécurité.Le bureau du Programme de reconnais-sance des anciens combattants ayantparticipé à des expériences de guerrechimique a ouvert ses portes le 5 avril2004.

Photo: Laurie McVicar, Contact OTTAWA - A talentedand diverse group ofCanadian artists are slatedto entertain CanadianForces members duringthe Op ATHENA ShowTour in Afghanistanscheduled from mid-Mayto June.

Masters of CeremoniesJoey Elias and DominicPaquet, both Just ForLaughs veterans, andsingers GabrielleDestroismaisons, RichardPetit, Matt Laurent, Imaand others will round outthe show. Produced byMontreal-based LesProductions Phaneuf Inc.,and co-ordinated by theCanadian ForcesPersonnel Support Agency(CFPSA), the group willperform seven shows forthe more than 2,000 CFmembers deployed on OpATHENA.

Elias, himself on histhird show tour, says hecan’t wait to go. “The men

and women of the CFdeserve more entertain-ment than anybody,” hesays. What’s more, he’sthrilled to visit a part of theworld few would ever getto see. “How many peoplecall their travel agents tobook a trip to Kabul?” heasks.

CFPSA ManagerDeployment Policies andResources Major (Ret’d)Mark Larose expects thetour to be an outstandingmorale booster. “Manywell-known Quebec artistsare on this tour,”he says. “Iknow the show will be out-standing and bring a pieceof home to our CF mem-bers deployed on OpATHENA.”

Show tour producerGary Quadros of PhaneufProductions, who has pro-duced 15 Show Tours, saysit's a win-win situationboth for the performersand CF members.

“Having visited many

of the bases around theworld and witnessing thehard work that goes onevery day at various loca-tions – includingChristmas Day - the reac-tion of the soldiers when ashow tour comes to townbeats any big arena crowdat home in Canada.”

In fact, he adds, “Theshow tour program is oneof the most uplifting lifeexperiences for the enter-tainers - not to mentionthe morale boosts that thevarious camps experienceeach time the show tourscome rolling in.”

CFPSA has a long tra-dition of providing showtours to CF members serv-ing overseas and in isolatedlocations. Over the courseof a six-month rotation, aCF Show Tour plays animportant part in majoroperations and is always abig morale booster, bring-ing a small piece of Canadato deployed members.

Weight loss. An eternal struggle for some, barely anafter thought for others.

We obsess about it, we pay thousands and thou-sands of dollars to do it, and so few of us are able tomaintain it. Luckily, the weight loss fad has benefits -it’s spawned oodles of free local programs designed tohelp battle the bulge.

If the pants are snug, but the wallet is light theseprograms are an excellent way to get on track withoutgoing over budget.

Here at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, the HealthPromotion Department runs a Weight Wellness pro-gram twice a year. The curriculum includes lessons onhow to identify internal and external signals that leadto over eating, how to choose healthy food and how tocreate a personal weight loss plan.

In the local community, the Hastings and PrinceEdward Counties Health Unit offers several healthyeating programs, including Food Steps. Developed byregistered dieticians and other health professionals,Food Steps is a self-help program based on Canada’sFood Guide. For more information, log on towww.hpechu.on.ca.

We use chemicals to ridour gardens and lawns ofweeds and bugs. Thesechemicals are poisonousnot only to the intendedtarget, but also tohumans, livestock, pets,and the environment.They are dangerous, so becautious when you usethem.

Consider the followingsafety tips:

If possible, remove theweeds by mechanicalmeans such as diggingthem out. If you have alot of weeds, considerhiring a company that

specializes in this type ofwork. They have theproper equipment andchemicals for the job.

Follow the manufac-turer’s instructions whenusing herbicides or pesti-cides. Read the first aidtreatment on the label,just in case.

When spraying orusing chemicals, wearpersonal protectiveequipment (PPE) such asgoggles, gloves and cov-eralls. It’s dangerous towear shorts or bathingsuits while using thesechemicals.

Be aware of the direc-tion of the wind whenusing sprays. Don’t sprayinto the wind. Use cau-tion when spraying trees.Don’t stand under thearea you’re spraying. Keepchildren and pets away.Avoid walking in areasyou have just sprayed.

Don’t handle food,

smoke, go to the wash-room, or play with yourchildren until you havewashed thoroughly withsoap and water.

Thoroughly wash theclothes that you worewhile spraying. Washthem separately fromother clothes.

After you have usedchemicals in your yard,keep children and petsoff the area. The direc-tions for using the chem-icals should tell you howlong you should stay off.Many manufacturersadvise a 24-hour period.

Shortly after a parenthad used a powder antkiller in the back yard, henoticed his 14-month-old child eating the dirtwhere he had sprinkledthe pesticide. The childwas taken to the hospital.Fortunately, the childdidn’t ingest enough tocause serious problems.

OTTAWA – (May 11,2004) Retired corporal RoyWheeler received a $24,000payment at a ceremony heldin Chilliwack, B.C. today inrecognition of his participa-tion in chemical warfareagent tests. His applicationwas the first to be approvedunder a new governmentprogram. The cheque waspresented by Major AngeloBattiston, CommandingOfficer of the Area SupportUnit, Chilliwack.

The $50-million recog-nition program forCanadian veterans whowere involved in chemicalwarfare agent tests betweenthe 1940s and the 1970s atSuffield, AB, and theChemical WarfareLaboratories, Ottawa, wasannounced on Feb.19,2004by the Minister of NationalDefence and the Ministerof Veterans Affairs. Theone-time $24,000 paymentis in addition to pensionbenefits to which these vet-erans may be entitled.

“Through their selflessservice, veterans such as Mr.

Wheeler spared their com-rades in arms the horrors ofchemical warfare,” said theHonourable David Pratt,Minister of NationalDefence. “These volunteersprovided the foundation forCanada’s response to thevery real threat of chemicalwarfare – a threat that con-tinues to this day.”

“Mr.Wheeler representsall veterans who servedtheir country as participantsin these tests,” said theHonourable JohnMcCallum, Minister ofVeterans Affairs. “This pro-gram recognizes the contri-butions of these individualspublicly and acknowledgesthe debt of gratitude thatCanadians owe them.”

In 1966, CorporalWheeler, a lineman with 1Canadian Brigade GroupHeadquarters and SignalSquadron in Calgary,Alberta, participated in atrial that used diluted mus-tard gas at SuffieldExperimental Station. Theaim of the trial was todevelop a training agentthat could be safely used infield exercises.The data col-

lected ensured that person-nel who participated in laterlarge-scale exercises couldbe exposed to realisticchemical warfare conditionswith a minimum risk totheir health and safety.

The program office forthe Chemical WarfareAgent Testing RecognitionProgram opened on April5, 2004. The office hasreceived more than 1,700inquiries and more than700 applications.Approximately 100 applica-tions have been approved todate and cheques arealready being mailed to eli-gible veterans.

Applications must bereceived at the programoffice no later than March31, 2006. Veterans canobtain more informationabout the program by call-ing 1-800-883-6094 oremailing [email protected]. Veterans areencouraged to inquire abouttheir eligibility for pensionbenefits by contactingVeterans Affairs Canada at1-866-522-2122 (English)or 1-866-522-2022(French).

My wife tells me thatbabies are the latest sta-tus symbol. Thatoccurred to me the otherday pulling up to anintersection in mid-town Toronto, wherethere happened to be sixwomen pushing babycarriages on the fourcorners in front of me.

Now, this was ofinterest because in themiddle of the afternoon,the odds were that mostof these women--wholooked to be in theirmid-thirties--were stay-at-home moms. It wasalso a safe bet to say theywere within walking dis-tance of their houses,here smack in the mid-dle of an area calledLeaside.

Leaside was built as asuburb to Toronto morethan 80 years ago, and itfeatures rings of concen-tric streets built aroundsome small parks and

schools. Almost all thelots are 30 feet wide; fewhouses have garagessince the space betweenhomes is too narrow formost cars; the homes arebrick with a mixture ofbungalows and two-storeys; backyards areuniversally small; andthe area is just 15 min-utes from the downtownfinancial district.

People love Leaside,despite the limitation onpersonal space--mostlyfor the convenience, thegood schools, the leafy,quiet streets and thehomogeneity of the pop-ulation. It is deemed afabulous place to bringup a family, which bringsme back to this currentbaby thing. This hasapparently had a pro-found effect in recentyears on property valuesin the neighbourhood.

It used to be that atwo-bedroom bungalow

in immaculate shapecould be yours for$250,000. Less than 10years ago a totally-reno-vated, expanded two-storey home with newkitchen, bathrooms andfinished lower level wasavailable for $500,000 orless. But all that haschanged, especially sincethe world was remodeledon Nine Eleven.

Today a bungalow inany condition is sold forland value only, since itis destined to be

knocked down andreplaced with a mini-monster house. So, a 30-foot lot now routinelychanges hands forbetween $300,000 and$400,000.. Then the newowner has to build--which will set you back aminimum of $500,000.

Existing renovated,

larger homes in the‘hood are now routinelycracking the $1 millionmark, with sales of$800,000 or $900,000for a place that needssome work completelycommonplace. And thisis a trend that’s beingreflected across thedemand neighbourhoodsof Toronto, just as it is inCalgary, Montreal andVancouver.

In the first threemonths of this year, salesof homes worth $1 mil-

lion or more in Torontowere up 40 per centfrom a year earlier.There have been biddingwars in lots of places aspeople do whatever theycan to secure the homeof their dreams. It’s esti-mated that about 40 percent of homes in theseneighbourhoods are sell-

ing for at or above thelisting price. Many cre-ative realtors actuallyencourage multipleoffers by listing a prop-erty for less than marketvalue, then acceptingoffers only on a certainpre-determined day,ensuring all interestedbidders will offer themaximum amount possi-ble.

Now, the obviousquestion as I sat in mycar waiting for the lightto change was: How doall these 30-somethingswith the babies manageto come up with $1 mil-lion or so to live in thisneighbourhood? Theaverage family income inthis country is still lessthan $55,000, after all,and the average familyhas saved less than$40,000 in total.

So, to buy a $1 mil-lion house with conven-tional financing wouldtake a downpayment of$250,000, and thenrequire about $4,000 amonth for mortgageinterest and propertytaxes, which means anincome of about$110,000 to qualify forthe loan. And that iswith mortgage rates at agenerational low ofabout 4 per cent. If ratesrise (which they willover the next couple ofyears--by about 2.5 percent or more), then qual-ifying incomes have torise as well, since mort-gage payments will

increase. Theinescapable reality is,many families havebecome complete slavesto their mortgages.

This brings me backto a column of a coupleof months ago on theGreater Fool theory.That theory says you canpay too much for some-thing like a house, solong as you are prettysure you can find agreater fool than yourselfto buy it from you later,for more than you paid.So far, it’s working quitewell. The 30-somethingmoms have bought in.So have legions of BabyBoomers who are load-ing up on cheap mort-gage debt to move up interms of real estate whentraditionally 50-some-things like them werebeginning to downsize.

More and more networth is being concen-trated in real estate,which means most peo-ple have just abouteverything tied up inone asset in one locationon one street in oneneighbourhood. That’scool when house valuescontinuously rise. But ,ofcourse, it flies in the faceof the first rule of goodfinancial planning,which is “be diversified.”

Babies or not, I stillthink this could turn outbadly.

(NC)-Have you alwayswanted to do more withyour yard? Well, here area few tips from the JohnMansz, The HomeDepot Canada’s garden-ing expert to help you getstarted:• Keep a file of magazinephotos of gardens andlandscapes you like.• Go on local garden citytours or garden shows toget ideas. Bring a note-book so you can jot downthe names of plants andtrees you like.• Take pictures of yourgarden to better help yousee the landscape. Youcan draw on the picturesto see how new plantingsand features would look.• If you’re new to yourhome, try a little garden-ing to get a feel for thesoil, sun and regionalgrowing conditions. Eventake a peak in yourneighbours yard.

• Don’t try to get every-thing done at once. Mostgardens are not created inone season – they evolveover a period of years, butMansz suggest plantinghedges and trees first asthey take longer to estab-lish• Keep maintenance inmind. Big flowerbeds,even with perennials, takea couple hours a week tokeep in good shape. Forwatering, Mansz suggestsan underground sprinklersystem to automate thistime costuming task.• The style of your homeshould be considered.While a Cape Cod stylehouse screams for a whitepicket fence, a rustichouse is complementedby a rough cedar logarbor.• Always outline newflowerbeds with somewhite flour, old spraypaint or a garden hose.

This will help youenvision how wellit fits in with yourlandscape.• Consider con-sulting a knowl-edgeable gardenspecialist at ahome improve-ment garden cen-tre.
