Golf Tip of The Week Courtesy of r oundel Glen Golf Course
at 8 Win G/Cf B t renton
Tips for Alignmen T Without a doubt, every time i give an on course lesson, i find alignment issues. The serious issue with this is your swing path is affected by faulty alignment. in most cases, the golfer is aligned to the right, (for right handers) only to swing the golf club across their body or to the left. The by-product is scooping, breakdown of the left wrist, and either a high fade or a pull shot.A timeless visual comes to us from the great Arnold palmer; thinking of a railway track, your target line is the right side of the railway trCK (where your club lays at address) and your body (feet, knees, hips and shoulders) is the left side of the track for righties. The Two are absolutely parallel!!!!!
How to get aligned: 1) get behind the golf ball and get your belly button, the ball and your target in a straight line.
2) once you have this in line, pick a spot about 6 inches in front of your ball.
3) s et the leading edge directly in line with your intermediate point the leading edge of the golf club at your target. The leading edge being the front edge of the golf club face and should be a straight line, never have the toe ahead of the heel or the heel ahead of the toe.
4) Then you set your body (shoulders, hips, knees and feet) parallel to the clubface.

afetyChainsaw Safety Tips
Chainsaws pack a lot of power. They can also cause serious, even fatal, injuries. Many of us use chainsaws on a regular basis at work, or off the job for weekend wood-cutting projects. Don't take chainsaws for granted and always stay alert.Here are a few reminders for chain saw safety in the woods, at work and at home:
• Get familiar with the manual. • Keep the cutting chain in good condition, sharpened and under the proper tension. • If the saw chain keeps moving when the engine idles, adjust the idle or clutch so it will stop. • If it won't stop, don't use the chainsaw until it has been repaired. • Don't fi ll a gasoline chainsaw while the engine is hot. Keep the saw and fuel away from fl a and any other ignition sources.• Keep the saw clean and free of dirt, sawdust and spilled fuel. • Don't work with a saw when you are tired, and never use a chainsaw or any power tool when you are under the infl uence of alcohol.• Work with a buddy who can help you in case of an accident. • Carry the chainsaw with the engine off. The chain bar should be pointed behind you, with the muffl er away from your body. Use a chain bar guard.• Avoid kickbacks.• Keep the working area clear of branches and other obstructions. Never cut above shoulder height. • Keep your body out of the path of the saw, including the path it will follow after the cut is completed. • Never place a saw on your leg. Don't try to start a saw from this position. Keep two hands on a running saw. • Wear the recommended Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when using a chainsaw. This will include heavy gloves, a hard hat, safety eyewear, ear protection and pants made of heavy material to prevent cuts.
Make sure you are fully informed before attempting to use a chainsaw. Consult the manual, and take any offered safety training to prevent wood-cutting accidents.

But Scarborough was quick to add that every dollar would matter since the full campaign amount needed to be raised before the museum could receive gov-ernment approval for the build. As for why members of the public should consider donating to the campaign, Scar-borough said it came down to the need to preserve history. “The heritage of this museum is just phenomenal and the air force story is such an important story to tell,” she ex-plained. “That’s why I think people are
so willing to step up.” She added with more than 60,000 stu-dents from across the province visiting the museum each year, a theatre and education centre would be a huge ben-eÿ t that would truly add to their overall experience. Also speaking to the beneÿ t of having a theatre was Fred Blair, chair of the NAFMC board of directors. He further went onto call the campaign a “milestone event” that would lead to-wards the achievement of a long-held dream for the museum. “If you had been here in the year 2000,
you could have looked at the plans for this magniÿ cent main exhibit hall,” said Blair. “It always had a space set aside for a theatre. Every world-class museum of any distinction at all must have a theatre, and at last, here we are.” Blair went onto share that once built, the facility would be named the Elise and Norman Cross Theatre. The name comes as a tribute to a duo, who Blair said were avid lovers of the museum. Following their deaths in 2015 and 2016, Blair said that a “very substantial, very generous” bequest from the Cross family was left to the facility.
Others who made large donations to the campaign included Hastings County, the City of Quinte West, the Kiwanis Club of Belleville, and Belleville’s Shorelines Ca-sino. Museum staff noted that all funds needs to be collected by September 1 in order to move to the approval stage of the plans. From there, a bid for a contractor will be held. Once that process is complete, construction on the facility can begin as early as November, with the possibility of the theatre being completed by April 2019.

A squadron known for its role in VIP transportation and air-to-air refuel-
ing capabilities are commemorating yet another milestone. After a busy two years commanding 437 Transport Squadron, Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Leif Dahl bid farewell to the ‘Huskies’ on June 28. Command of the squadron was then transferred to incoming commanding of-ÿ cer Lt.-Col. Diane Baldasaro during a parade at 8 Wing Trenton. In his speech, Lt.-Col. Dahl was nothing short of singing his squadron’s praises for their many accomplishments over the years. Of most notoriety, he shared that in April, the squadron had successfully completed their 1000th sortie (mission) in support of Operation IMPACT – an overseas ini-tiative in the Middle East that Canada’s military has been a part of since 2014. Serving in their role as in-° ight refueling specialists, the squadron delivered ap-proximately 60 million pounds of fuel to Coalition partners. “I am immensely proud of what the Huskies have done,” said Lt.-Col. Dahl. “When I took command, my priorities were operational efÿ ciency, people, each other, those that we serve and safety ¬– which is exactly how we operated.” In addition, he went onto share in the last year alone, the squadron accumulated more than 4,500 ° ying hours. In that time, the Huskies aided in the transportation of members of the Canadian Armed Forces, government ofÿ cials and the Royal fam-ily to their destinations both abroad and domestically. As a ÿ nal note, Lt.-Col. Dahl reassured the squadron that his replacement was a “ÿ rst-rate ofÿ cer” who would surely lead them into success. Also taking to the podium to share his ap-preciation for the work accomplished un-der Lt.-Col. Dah’s leadership was 8 Wing Commander Colonel (Col.) Mark Goul-
den. He went onto praise Lt.-Col. Dahl for his level of professionalism, adapt-ability and strong leadership skills. “Like those that came before you, you carried on the mantle of the Huskies proud history and ensured the squadron is well prepared for the future,” he said. “Treasure the memories and know that you made a difference.” Col. Goulden was also quick to share a brief history of the squadron, which was formed in September 1944, and thanked the Huskies for their continued efforts. Before leaving the podium, Col. Goulden ofÿ cially welcomed Lt.-Col. Baldasaro to the team and noted he had no doubts that she was the right person for the job and reassured her she would have a busy ten-ure ahead. Lt.-Col. Baldasaro is a seasoned pilot with a rich history serving in the CC-130 Her-cules community, as well as in Trenton. Coming from a family of military pilots, Lt.-Col. Baldasaro noted she spent many of her formative years in the region. “I remember living at 13 Breadner Bou-levard like it was yesterday,” she shared, adding she had always enjoyed watching the aircrafts taxiing from the runway. Now as the commanding ofÿ cer of 437 Transport Squadron, Lt.-Col. Baldasaro said she was honoured and was excited to commit herself to the job. “Your command team will provide reli-able and trustworthy leadership, we will support you in your decisions and en-courage you to use your initiative,” she said. “We will demand professional com-petency, individual maturity and I prom-ise you, we will hold those individuals accountable that require additional guid-ance and mentorship.” Lt.-Col. Baldasaro will hit the ground running as she continues to lead the Hus-kies and their ° eet of CC-150T Polaris aircrafts on long-range transports of per-sonnel and equipment, as well as in-air refueling missions, both internationally and domestically.

The National Air Force Museum of Canada Foundation (NAFMCF) wishes to thank all the companies and individuals that donated and participated in this year’s 15th annual golf tournament. The foundation’s primary job is to help raise revenue to aid the museum in bringing new attractions and exhibits to the area. Some of the current projects the museum is work-ing on include the restoration of the Second World War Avro Lancaster KB882. Speaking on behalf of the NAFMCF was Major (Maj.) Bill March who also noted he wished to give credit to all the volunteers who helped make the event possible. “I can’t say enough about the volunteers and their importance to the museum and the foundation,” he said. “Without volunteers we would cease to exist.” As for the museum itself, he said its impor-tance goes without saying as thousands visit the facility each year. Also speaking to the success of the golf tour-
nament was event coordinator Maj. (retired) Merv Matiowsky. While the planning of the event took well over six months, he noted it had been well worth it and was thankful for his fellow committee members who also helped plan the event. Maj. (ret’d) Matiowsky said that 96 golfers participated in this year’s tournament and reiterated his gratefulness for all the com-munity support. As for why he feels the museum is so criti-cal, he explained it came down to preserving the country’s rich aviation history. “The more we know about our past history, the good and the bad, the better chance we have to understand the future,” he said. “The museum is a central point and keeping history accurate is important.” Companies and the local donations reached more than $37,000 dollars with the golf tour-nament bringing the ÿ nal tally to $43,800.00. The next foundation event will be a classic car show at the museum, which will take place on July 15.

I was in Chapters the other day and no-ticed that they had a display of board
games that I can remember from my childhood being offered in their original manifestations. A few years back I bought myself the clas-sic edition of Monopoly. It was a replica of the version my mom had played when she was a child. The games at Chapters included Risk and Life among many others. I had the Game of Life when I was grow-ing up. It had plastic seaweed hills (that is what my brother and I used to call them)
and the plastic spinner in the middle of the board. One of the cars hadn’t been moulded properly and there was no way to get a driver in it. The career paths didn’t include anything that interested either my brother or myself, but it was a game that we would play on rainy week-ends (yes, this was before the time of vid-eo game consoles).All of this, and a few other things that have happened recently, made me re˜ ect for a while on what exactly the “Game of Life” is these days. I know, unfortunately, what it looks like it is, but there is a part of me that is hoping it is much more than that.

Winning, when it came to the board game, was easy to determine. Who has the most money? There was your winner. But we don’t live in a board game. And it isn’t always that easy to see who the win-ners are in real life.Which raises an interesting question. What does a winner in real life really look like? I’ve seen bumper stickers and signs that have said that the one with the most toys (and a variety of other things) wins. Is it really the one with the most toys? Are our lives simply about the acquisition of material things? I hope not.Maybe winning is realizing that we have an abundance of other things, or relation-ships in our lives. Just maybe it is the knowledge that we are loved and that we love, and honouring those relationships.
It is important to take the time to hon-our and acknowledge the value inherent in all life by lifting our heats and giving thanks for life, all life and all lives that have been lived. We give honour when we do not forget that others have walked here before us, and others will walk here after we are gone.So then how do we determine if we have won, or are winning, at the game of life? Did we bring more joy than sorry? Did we share more laughter than tears? Did we offer our love unreservedly and un-conditionally? Did we bring more smiles than heartbreak? This is how we know if we have won in our lives. These are the things for which we shall be remembered.

LOCALLY OWNED AFTER RETIRINGFROM THE CANADIAN FORCES IN 2013
Members of 2 Air Movement Squadron (2 Air Mov Sqn) make loading a CH-147F Chi-nook helicopter into the back of a CC-177 Globemaster air-craft look easy. But the truth of the matter is it actually takes a lot of prep-aration, planning and man-power. Following the Canadian gov-ernment’s most recent an-nouncement that an Air Task Force (ATF) would be de-ployed on peacekeeping op-erations in Mali, it was noted that a string of support equip-ment would also be sent over-seas. Among the list of the equip-ment to be sent: two Royal Canadian Air Force CH-147F Chinook helicopters and four CH-146 Griffon helicopters. While in Mali, the CH-147F Chinook will be used in part for transportation during the United Nations Multidimen-sional Integrated Stabiliza-tion Mission (MINUSMA). Based on information pro-vided by the United Nations, MINUSMA, first established in 2013, aims at “protection of civilians” and “the promo-tion and protection of human rights.” Despite the sweltering heat, members of 2 Air Mov Sqn took their time measuring, calculating and ultimately loading a forest green CH-147F Chinook helicopter into the back of a CC-177 Globe-master at 8 Wing Trenton on July 3. Since the helicopter weighs more than 30,000 pounds, Master Corporal (MCpl.) Todd Marshall from 2 Air Mov Sqn said ensuring it was properly loaded and secured

By Makala Chapman for takeoff was essential. “Yes, it’s a lot of weight,” he explained. “But the (CC-177 Globemaster) can carry up to about 170,000 pounds. It’s a bit of a beast of an airplane.” Part of MCpl. Marshall’s job is to make sure all cargo is se-cured, as well as ensuring the weight of the aircraft and its contents are balanced. In terms of manpower, for this specific task, he added close to a dozen individuals were needed. “It takes a lot of coordination and you have to pay attention to detail when moving some-thing of this size,” said MCpl. Marshall. “Safety is a huge thing we have to deal with, as well as accuracy.”He explained that having a piece of cargo a few feet out of place could negatively im-pact the way the aircraft flies, as well as its fuel economy. But while he takes his job se-riously, MCpl. Marshall said it can be fun and is always proud to do his part.
“I’ve always loved doing this and I adore this job,” he said. “Everything that a person does within the military is needed and required. We are a little cog in the wheel and everyone has an important role to play.”Working from the cargo operations depart-ment was MCpl. Michelle Côté-Campeau with 2 Air Mov Sqn. She noted her job also required immense amounts of accuracy and all began with cre-ating a load plan for the cargo. Working alongside the CH-147F Chinook
technicians, who travelled in from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, MCpl. Côté-Campeau explained her team helped disassemble por-tions of the helicopter for loading and trans-port. For example, the two rotors of the CH-147F Chinook had to be removed so that it could fit safely and efficiently inside of the aircraft. “This is important because we don’t want to damage the inside (of the CC-177 Globemas-ter) and we don’t want to damage the Chi-nook either,” she said. “There’s also a lot of dangerous cargo, like fuel, so you have to be careful with the space.” Following along with the load plan, the tech-nicians and members of 2 Air Mov Sqn load-ed the aircraft, ensuring everything was in its predetermined place. As for how long it took to prepare and plan everything, MCpl. Côté-Campeau said just under a week was needed and that a lot of hard work went into getting everything right. “We all have a little part to do,” she said. “There are definitely a lot of fingerprints.”
