par Jenn GeareyLa Force aérienne
L’an dernier, alors qu’elleétait invitée au Temple de larenommée des pionnièrespar l’organisation Womenin Aviation, International,le major Dee Brasseur s’estdite fascinée par la foule quil’entourait.
« J’étais à cette con-férence l’an dernier enprésence de plus de 3 000femmes, de tous âges,novices et aguerries - unefoule représentative demaintes générations etexpériences différentes dumilieu de l’aviation,» men-tionne le major Brasseur.«On pouvait sentir l’admi-ration que nous éprouvionstoutes l’une pour l’autre. »
Cette année, ce sera autour du major Brasseurd’être intronisée au Templede la renommée des pio-nnières de l’organisationWomen in Aviation,International,à Orlando,enFloride, le 17 février 2007.Elle a appris l’honneur quilui était échu alors qu’elleétait en train de rénover sacuisine. C’est sa colocatairequi a décidé de présenter sacandidature à son insu.
Le major Brasseur étantdevenue une véritableréférence au sein de la Forceaérienne du Canada, sacolocataire a jugé qu’il étaittemps qu’elle soit égalementreconnue dans le reste dumonde pour ses contribu-tions exceptionnelles à lasituation des femmes dansl’aviation.
En 1981, le majorBrasseur est passée dustatut de commis de bureauà celui de l’une des deuxpremières femmes aumonde à piloter le CF-18
Hornet. Ayant été une despremières femmes pilotesdes Forces armées auCanada, la première femmeenquêteur en matière d’ac-cidents d’aéronefs auCanada, le major Brasseur apavé la voie pour lesfemmes qui, à sa suite, ontdécidé de se lancer dans unecarrière de pilote.
« La première fois quej’ai piloté seule un F-18,c’é-tait en 1989, se rappelle lemajor Brasseur, je me voisencore circulant au sol, avecla verrière du poste depilotage grande ouverte,mes bras dépassant del’avion, j’étais comme uneenfant émerveillée de vivreson rêve. »
« Et c’est justementparce que j’en avais rêvé silongtemps que la réalitém’est apparue comme lapoursuite de ce rêve,»raconte le major Brasseur. «Quand je me souviens demon sentiment après avoirpiloté un aéronef, je ne pou-vais pas y croire, et pendantles jours qui suivirent cettepremière expérience, je flot-tais littéralement au-dessusdu sol. »
Mais le major Brasseura vécu d’autres expériencesmoins exaltantes. Elle sesouvient, entre autres, d’unjour où elle était loin de sesentir au septième ciel.
« Un oiseau s’étaitengouffré dans monmoteur et j’ai perdu le con-trôle, explique le majorBrasseur, mon esprit étaitdans un véritable état depanique; heureusement,comme nous nous exer-cions chaque jour à suivreles procédures d’urgence, lesgestes à faire me sont venustout naturellement. J’aiégalement fait confiance à
mon instinct.Cependant, jeme demandais si j’allaisdevoir m’éjecter en pleinvol.... J’ai dit à l’étudiant àcôté de moi de se préparer àsauter en parachute et j’ailancé à la tour de contrôleun appel de détresseMayday... Mais finalement,nous avons réussi à repren-dre le contrôle de l’avion ettout s’est bien terminé. »
Ainsi, non seulement lemajor Brasseur et son étu-diant sont rentrés indemnesà bord de l’aéronef Tudor,mais elle a remporté par lasuite le Prix de la sécuritéaérienne pour la rapidité deses réactions et la qualité deson raisonnementstratégique.
Tout au long de cesannées, le major Brasseur areçu des lettres d’admira-tion en provenance defemmes, et de mères aussi,pour la remercier d’avoirpavé la voie pour leurs fillesqui, grâce à elle, ont réaliséleur ambition de devenirpilote.
« On ne peut jamaisvraiment deviner l’influencequ’on a sur autrui », admetle major Brasseur.
Le major Brasseur saitcependant à quel point lemonde de l’aviation estresté longtemps fermé auxfilles qui voulaient voler deleurs propres ailes.
« Le niveau d’accepta-tion a bien changé, expliquele major Brasseur, l’Arméen’est plus du tout ce qu’elleétait lorsque je me suisenrôlée en 1972. À cetteépoque, les Forces canadi-ennes avaient fixé un pla-fond selon lequel seulement1 600 femmes étaientacceptées dans des groupesprofessionnels limités surun effectif total de plus de
83 000 militaires dans laForce régulière. »
Quoi qu’il en soit, lemajor Brasseur estimequ’être pilote de chasse est lachose la plus difficile quel’on puisse accomplir danssa vie, que l’on soit unefemme ou un homme.
« La formation de piloteest la plus exigeante qui soit,au plan physique comme auplan mental, rappelle lemajor Brasseur; je ne diraispas que j’ai consenti dessacrifices pour y parvenir,mais j’ai eu à faire des choixdifficiles...en revanche, jen’éprouve aucun regret. »
Pour l’ensemble de sacarrière, le major Brasseur aenregistré plus de 2 500heures de vol sur le terri-toire de l’Amérique duNord et en Europe. Elletravaille actuellement à laDirection - Planificationstratégique aérienne, enplus d’être coprésidentemilitaire de l’Organisationconsultative des femmes dela Défense.
« À présent, je pilote unbombardier en acajou »,affirme la major Brasseur.Quand je lui demande dequoi il s’agit, elle répond ensouriant : « C’est monbureau! Vous savez, il fautêtre jeune pour piloter, celademande un dévouementextrême et une conditionphysique maximale et c’estentre 25 et 35 ans que l’onest au mieux de sa formepour ce genre d’exercice. »
Bien qu’elle se remé-more avec bonheur ses sou-venirs de pilote, elle estimeque le temps est venu pourelle de céder le ciel àd’autres femmes. Elle estravie de pouvoir relatertoutes ses aventures depilote, et nous aussi!

The CH-146flew directly to the search area and, after conducting a sector searchinland, they then proceeded offshore out to 3 nautical miles. Whilefinishing this task the crew was then re-tasked to Penetanguishene tolocate people that were reported stranded on an ice floe just off shore.Rescue 491 proceeded to the Midland airport for fuel and while refu-eling they were stood down and returned to base.
Until next time, stay safe.

Last year, Major DeeBrasseur sat in the audi-ence of The Women inAviation, InternationalPioneer Hall of Fame, inawe of the people aroundher.
“I was at the confer-ence last year and therewere over 3,000 womenwho attended, from veryyoung to very senior-people that span acrossmany generations andaviation history,” saysMaj Brasseur. “Therewas such a mutual admi-ration between us all!”
This year, MajBrasseur herself will beinducted into TheWomen in Aviation,International PioneerHall of Fame, Orlando,Florida on February 17.She found out that shewas going to receive theinduction one day in themiddle of renovating herkitchen; her roommatehad secretly nominatedher.
Maj Brasseur hasbecome a staple name inCanada’s Air Force, andher roommate thoughtshe was due to have hername out there world-wide as one of the greatcontributors to womenin aviation.
In 1981, MajBrasseur went from mil-itary office clerk to oneof the first two femalepilots in the world to
first fly a CF-18 Hornet.As one of Canada’s firstmilitary pilots and thefirst female jet aircraftaccident investigator,Maj Brasseur paved theway for women after herto endeavor any career inaviation they chose.
“I remember flyingsolo for the first time inan F-18 in 1989,” saysMaj Brasseur. “I stillremember taxiing out,the canopy was open andmy arms were outsidethe airplane. The kid inme was going ‘wow, thisis unreal’.”
“It had been a dreamfor so long, and when Idid it, it still felt like adream,” says MajBrasseur. “I looked backafter flying and couldn’tbelieve that I had flownthat airplane. I didn’twalk for days, just kindof floated a foot off theground.”
In contrast, MajBrasseur thinks back to aday that genuinely chal-lenged her; when she wasnowhere close to cloudnine.
“A bird had flowninto my engine and I lostengine power,” says MajBrasseur. “My mind wentinto emergency modebut we practiced emer-gency procedures daily sothe steps just came natu-rally-plus you have totrust your instincts. Still,you think: ‘am I going tomake it, am I going to
have to eject?’ I told thestudent beside me toprepare to bail, andcalled the tower toMayday...In the end wewere all right, we madeit.”
Not only did MajBrasseur and her studentmake it back alive withthe Tudor aircraft, butshe later won a flightsafety award for herquick, strategic thinking.
Over the years, MajBrasseur has gotten let-ters from women whovoice their admiration,mothers who’ve said‘thank you’ for paving theaviation path for theirdaughters, and keenyoung girls with ambi-tions of flying.
“You never know howmuch influence you’llhave on someone,” saysMaj Brasseur.
But Maj Brasseurknows that the doors tothe aviation worldweren’t always open forgirls with the ambitionof acquiring wings oneday.
“The acceptance levelis very different now,”says Maj Brasseur.“There’s no resemblancewhatsoever betweentoday’s military and themilitary I joined in 1972.Back then there was ahard ceiling that onlyallowed 1,600 women inlimited occupations outof a total of more than83,000 Regular Force
personnel.”Regardless of gender
however, Maj Brasseursays that being a fighterpilot is the hardest thingany woman or man coulddo in their lifetime.
“It’s the most physi-cally and mentally taxingtraining,” says MajBrasseur. “I don’t likesaying that I had to makesacrifices to do it, but Ihad to make some hardchoices...I have noregrets.”
Spanning her career,Maj Brasseur bankedover 2,500 hours ofextensive flying through-out North America andEurope. Today, she worksin the Directorate of AirStrategic Planning and ismilitary co-chair of theDefence Women’sAdvisory Organizationin Ottawa.
“Now I fly amahogany bomber,” saysMaj Brasseur. Whenasked what that is, shereplies with a smile.
“It’s my desk!” shesays. “Flying is a youngperson’s game-the dedi-cation, the physical con-ditioning-the 25 to 35year age bracket is whenyou’re at the top of yourgame.”
While she cherishesher memories of flying,she says it’s time to giveother women a turn;she’s happy with reflect-ing on all her adventures.So are we.

Cardiovascular Wellness Clinic launched at 8 Wingby Amber Gooding
Contact Staff
The launch of 8 Wing/CFBTrenton’s CardiovascularWellness (CV Wellness) Clinictook place at the Yukon Galleyon February 14, 2007.
8 Wing medical, fitness andsports, and health promotionstaff teamed up withAstraZeneca representatives (aresearch-oriented and pharma-ceutical company) for the launchof the first CV Wellness Clinicwithin the Canadian Forces.
The focus of the clinic is toassess a patient’s risk of cardio-vascular disease, to educate andinform, as well as to provide sup-port and referrals to those diag-nosed with, or at risk for, devel-oping cardiovascular disease.
“The biggest advantage tothis program is the follow-up andmonitoring of a patient’s condi-tion,” said Elaine Burke,
Coordinator of the CV WellnessClinic. “This represents a hugeimprovement in patient care hereat 8 Wing/CFB Trenton witheasy and direct access.”
Burke explains that there is asignificant amount of educationmaterial, testing supplies andtrained support staff to helppatients every step of the way.
“This is also an excellentpoint of referral for patients,especially military members astheir files will follow them wher-ever they may go,” she said. “It isan effective and fast way forpatients to renew any prescrip-tions or make appointments tosee a physician, as it relatesdirectly to their case and/orneeds.”
The launch of the clinic pro-vided a profile of clinic services,which also showcased the part-nership between AstraZenecaand the CV Wellness Clinic.This gave local AstraZeneca rep-
resentatives, such as Jeff Cuffe, achance to establish a relationshipwith medical staff involved withthe clinic
“As the CardiovascularSciences Liaison for Ontario, Iwas responsible forAstraZeneca’s involvement withthe launch and had the opportu-nity to secure a dedicatedAstraZeneca patient educationmaterials display,” said Cuffe.
The display Cuffe is referringto contains some of the variousinformation packages available topatients regarding the signs,symptoms and treatments avail-able when dealing with healthissues such as high cholesterol,diabetes, high blood pressure andmetabolic syndrome.
Patients can access the CVWellness Clinic and registerdirectly through the pharmacy byvisiting the clinic or by callingElaine Burke at local 3593 or viaemail at [email protected].

General fire safety and protection tips
Handling compressedgas cylinders withoutcare and using com-pressed gases improp-erly is hazardous.
Compressed gases,such as acetylene,hydrogen, nitrogen orcarbon dioxide in acylinder must beviewed as the storageof a large amount ofenergy. A suddenrelease of this energycan be explosive!
The compressedgas may also be aflammable gas. Thismultiplies the dangerand increases the needfor treating com-pressed gas with theproper respect.
The three prob-lems encountered inthe workplace withcompressed gases arepoor storage, inade-quate transportationmethods and mishan-dling. Here are somereminders of thebasics when dealingwith compressed gascylinders:
Only handle com-pressed gas cylindersif you are trained todo so.
It is important youare aware of properhandling techniquesand the associatedhazards.
Correctly labelcompressed gas cylin-ders so you knowwhat they contain.When cylinders areempty, mark them asempty. A commonway of marking themis using the initials“MT.” Treat them thesame as “loaded”cylinders.
Always store com-pressed gas cylindersin a secured, uprightposition with valves
closed and valve pro-tection caps on tight-ly.
Compressed cylin-ders become torpe-does if the valves arebroken off.
Always keep oxy-gen and fuel gasesseparated becauseoxygen greatly accel-erates a fire.
Keep stored cylin-ders away from heatand do not place themnear flammable mate-rials such as gasoline.This could cause a fireexplosion.
Never leave loosecylinders to rollaround in a truck.They must be securelyfastened before trans-porting them to pre-vent damage to thecylinders.
Don’t leave cylin-ders on the ground orhidden in grass wherethey could be struckby vehicles and dam-aged.
Never drop, strikeor allow tanks toimpact against eachother because this
could cause damageresulting in an explo-sion.
When handling anoxygen cylinder, yourhands must be free ofoil or grease. Removegloves which might begreasy or oily. Greaseor oil will ignite if itcomes into contactwith some gases with-out an ignition source.
Cylinders must bestored and used inwell-ventilated areasto prevent buildup ofgases which can igniteand explode.
Don’t smokearound gas cylinders.
Do not attempt tofix or empty a leakingcylinder if you are nottrained to do it. Takethe leaking cylinderoutside and keep itwell away f rom anyignition sources. Tagit and inform yoursupervisor immedi-ately.
Compressed gas ina cylinder represents agreat deal of destruc-tive energy. Don’t letit loose!
Compressed gas is destructive energy

Proudly supported by:
It’s time to take the challenge. By registering in the "March 1st, IQuit!" challenge, you are enhancing your quality of life.
Make sure all family members knowwhat to do in the event of a fire.Draw a floor plan with at least twoways of escaping every room. Makea drawing for each floor.Dimensions do not need to be cor-rect. Make sure the plan showsimportant details: stairs, hallwaysand windows that can be used asfire escape routes.
Test windows and doors—dothey open easy enough? Are theywide enough. Or tall enough?
Choose a safe meeting place out-side the house.
Practice alerting other members.It is a good idea to keep a bell andflashlight in each bedroom.
Conduct a family meeting
--Conduct a family meeting anddiscuss the following topics:
--Always sleep with the bedroomdoors closed. This will keep deadlyheat and smoke out of bedrooms,giving you additional time toescape.
--Find a way for everyone tosound a family alarm. Yelling,pounding on walls, whistles, etc.Practice yelling “FIRE!”
--In a fire, time is critical. Don’twaste time getting dressed, don’tsearch for pets or valuables. Just getout!
--Roll out of bed. Stay low. Onebreath of smoke or gases may beenough to kill.
Be prepared—plan ahead
Practice evacuating the buildingblindfolded. In a real fire situation,the amount of smoke generated by afire most likely will make it difficultto see.
Practice staying low to theground when escaping. Feel alldoors before opening them. If a dooris hot, get out another way. Learn tostop, drop to the ground, roll ifclothes catch fire.
Additional tips for fire safety
Install smoke detectors. Checksmoke detectors once a month andchange the batteries at least once ayear.
Smoke detectors sense abnormalamounts of smoke or invisible com-bustion gases in the air. They candetect both smoldering and burningfires. At least one smoke detectorshould be installed on every level ofa structure. Purchase smoke detec-tors labeled by the UnderwritersLaboratories (UL) or FactoryMutual (FM).
Post emergency numbers neartelephones. Be aware that if a firethreatens your home, you should notplace the call to emergency servicesfrom inside the home. It is better toget out and place the call to fireauthorities f rom a safe location out-side the home.
After a fire emergency, give first
aid where appropriate. Seriouslyinjured victims should be transport-ed to professional medical helpimmediately. Stay out of the dam-aged building. Return only when fireauthorities say it is safe.
Make sure you have a safe fireescape method for all situations. Youmay have installed a very expensivehome security system. But if youcannot escape the burning structureyou have a false level of confidence.
Space heaters need space
Keep portable and space heaters atleast 3 feet f rom anything that mayburn. Never leave heaters on whenyou leave home or go to sleep.Children and pets should always bekept away from them.
Smokers need to be extra careful
Never smoke in bed or when you aresleepy. Carelessly discarded ciga-rettes are a leading cause of firedeaths in the United States.
Be careful cooking
Keep cooking areas clear of com-bustibles and wear short or tight-fit-ting sleeves when you cook. Keepthe handles of your pots turnedinward so they do not over-hang thestove. If grease catches fire, carefullyslide a lid over the pan and smotherthe flames, then turn off the burner.
Matches and lightersare dangerous
In the hands of a child, matches andlighters can be deadly! Store themwhere kids can’t reach them, prefer-ably in a locked area. Teach childrenthat matches and lighters are “tools”and should only be used by adults.
Use electricity safely
If an appliance smokes or has anunusual smell, unplug it immediate-ly and have it repaired. Replacefrayed or cracked electrical cordsand don’t overload extension cords.They should not be run under rugs.Never tamper with the fuse box oruse the improper size fuse.
Cool a burn
If someone gets burned, immediate-ly place the wound under cool waterfor 10 to 15 minutes. If the burnblisters or chars, see a doctor imme-diately!
Be careful of halogen lights
If you have halogen lights, makesure they are away from flammabledrapes and low ceiling areas. Neverleave them on when you leave yourhome or office.
Fire can engulf a house in 60 sec-onds! Make sure you have a safe andquick method of escape!

8 Wing Chapel ~ Our Lady of PeaceArk of the New Covenant
On Wednesday, February 21, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. our Chapel Community is scheduledto receive the Ark of the New Covenant. We will host a bilingual Vigil Service from 7 pm –8:30 pm and pass the Ark on to another local parish.
The Ark of the New Covenant – The original symbol, approved and blessed by PopeBenedict, has been crafted of wood from the five continents. It will provide a focal point forthe spiritual preparation for the 49th International Eucharistic Congress, which will be heldin Quebec City, June 15-22, 2008.
The Ark will travel the country, in the same fashion as the World Youth Day Cross andwe are truly honoured to have it come through our area.
The Ark (arca, meaning chest in Latin) of the New Covenant is meant to be a seat forGod and a container to hold things. This Ark will be a throne for the monstrance containingthe Real Presence of Jesus. It will hold a Eucharistic Charter that you will be invited to sign.
Everyone in the community believing in the Eucharistic presence of Jesus is welcome to join us for this momentous opportunity to truly renew ourselves and
re-commit ourselves to the real presence of Christ through our worship and daily living.Please visit our website at:
