Embroidered patch, reminiscent of 1940s warship art The sailor who created the Patrol Craft Training Unit’s (PCTU) first morale patch admits the words colourful or cartoonish often come to mind when people first see his design.

Leading Seaman Nicholas Dipersio purposely choose a cartoon-style portrayal of an Orca whale at the helm of a PCTU vessel as a nod to bygone days of naval art.

“The whole intent was to be cartoonish and represent the old school ways that morale patches used to look,” said LS Dipersio. “The idea to make the patch less rigid and more light-hearted in nature came from naval tradition and some of the older design ideas that were painted on the side of Canadian warships during the Second World War.” He was presented the first patch

by Lieutenant-Commander Tyson Bergmann, PCTU’s Commanding Officer, and Chief Petty Officer Second Class Eric Pohoney, PCTU Coxswain, on Aug. 10. The embroidered patches will be worn on the naval combat jackets of the 70 men and women who work aboard the unit’s eight Orca-class Patrol Vessels,

n which are used to train personnel from Naval Fleet School Pacific and the Naval Officer Training Centre.

Historically, patches boost morale and build unit pride. PCTU’s patch also has two red n maple leafs bordering an ets inscription that trumpets ng the unit’s motto: Training ence.

Leaders Building Confidence. erved eight LS Dipersio, 35, has served years in the Royal Canadian Navy, and studied graphic design. The concept behind the logo was developed in early June with his co-worker LS James Hopper. He then put pencil to paper and came up with the design. After getting approval he made a digital rendering, so the image could be embroidered onto a cloth patch.

CPO2 Pohoney says the design has achieved its goal and gives sailors in his unit a sense of pride.

“The intention is to boost morale, create uniqueness, and give our personnel a sense of belonging. It’s not meant to be aggressive, serious or overpowering, but rather colourful and inviting, so people in our unit and those onboard our vessels have a safe and enjoyable experience.”

LS Nicholas Dipersio (centre) presents the unit’s new morale patch that he designed to LCdr Tyson Bergmann, Patrol Craft Training Unit (PCTU) Commanding Officer, and CPO2 Eric Pohoney, PCTU Coxswain.

the Naval Reserve played the ethereal theme song from Band of Brothers, a doe and her fawn walked quietly across the parade square.

Raven’s spiritual advisor and Elder, Elmer George from the Songhees Nation shared an Aboriginal blessing, and Padre Lt(N) Lara-Ann Bowditch led the Naval Prayer. Awards and presentations were presented by RAdm Auchterlonie, who then addressed the parade.

The graduates were then dismissed by their Platoon Commander and classmate, OS Konnor Issaluk. After six weeks of working and learning together, they are returning to their communities with new skills, new confidence and a new network of friends and mentors to support them on whatever path they choose.

It was the best of military splendour, with a nod to Aboriginal culture, at last week’s Raven graduation.

More than 120 family, friends and guests looked on Aug. 14, as 24 Aboriginal recruits earned their Ordinary Seaman rank after completing their basic military qualification this summer. Some parents travelled from as far as Ontario to witness this milestone in their child’s life.

The Raven Indigenous Youth Program is a transformative six weeks where recruits aged 16 to 21 learn basic military skills, teamwork and leadership and share elements from their respective First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures.

The National Band of the Naval Reserve primed the audience with a diverse set of tunes as the graduates prepared to march onto the parade square. Five Métis students were presented waist sashes – a symbol of pride and nationhood – just before the parade.

A teepee was set up at the side of the Work Point parade square with two Aboriginal drummers and two dancers in full regalia performing for the audience. At the final beat of the drum the graduating platoon marched on to the parade square to face their guests.

They displayed poise and unity in their drill movements, a testament to their training from Naval Fleet School Pacific instructors.

I shutter to think - cell phones don’t replace cameras M.X. Déry Contributor I love that almost everyone nowadays takes photos, but there are several of you, and you know who you are, that commit every photography sin, and I shutter to think what people in the future will say about our walls of rubbish photos.

As I stated last week, the fact that everyone now has a miniature camera in their cell phones is a boon, since it allows for more casual, everyday activities to be photographed.

What they are not meant for is to replace actual cameras outright. I’ve had friends leave on a long vacation with nothing but a cell phone to capture their memories of foreign landscapes, strange flora and exotic fauna.

isolated cabin and need to remove Philips head screws on a portable generator, a multitool can be a life saver, but renovating a kitchen would require a screwdriver, and preferably a powered one.

A cell phone is not purpose built for the task of high resolution photography. The sensor is tiny, the lens equally so and the aperture nearly microscopic.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) on smartphones masks how poor the built-in camera is at low-light and contrast.

It is the software on your smartphone that is doing the heavy lifting, using more and more processing to convert two to three images into a single corrected photo, but this makes smartphones more power hungry.

This is also the device that people rely on for communication, navigation and information; battery power is a finite resource, so taking photos and videos with a cell phone burns through that resource quickly.

Imagine you are on a hike on a trail in a foreign country and unbeknownst to you, the cell tower is just out of range and so the battery on your phone is draining quickly. You also periodically use your phone to check which trail to turn onto to, and also snap a few photos.

You encounter a sign with a lot of words you don’t know in a foreign language and use the translate feature on your phone to determine that the sign warns hikers there is a dangerous plant nearby that you should avoid.

The trail then turns into a dark cave and you have no flashlight, so you resort to using your phone as a flashlight. When you exit the cave, your phone battery is dead.

Your rental car doesn’t have an adapter to charge your phone and you don’t remember the way back to the hotel.

A smartphone only has so much battery and storage capacity; it should be a backup device for a camera, flashlight and/or GPS,

not the single point of failure during an important trip or event.

It is also important to remember that the default settings on your phone’s camera app may not take the best image. Be sure to set your photo’s to be taken at the highest resolution and enable HDR. Don’t use the digital zoom that is built in, as it won’t enhance the image.

When sending or sharing the image, be sure you are sending the full-sized version; most sharing functions shrink the image to save cell data, but they also lower the quality significantly, which can make it hard to edit for newspaper or social media use.

Lookout, CFB Esquimalt and Maritime Forces Pacific public affairs are always looking for good imagery for social media and the newspaper. Imagery technicians can’t be everywhere, so if you have high quality imagery of interest, such as promotions, ships arriving/departing, etc., be sure to send it to n02pao@gmail.com.

Special Victims Unit searching for possible victims of Kit Wong Victoria Police An Esquimalt man is in custody facing four charges of sexual assault following a year-long investigation into a series of historical sexual assaults. Special Victims Unit investigators believe there are likely more victims.

Kit Wong, a 71-year-old Esquimalt man, faces four charges of sexual assault related to historical sexual assaults involving four women. Wong was working as an acupuncturist, massage therapist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine out of his home-based business in Esquimalt.

Several of the incidents are reported to have occurred there between 2005 and 2006.

Wong previously served as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Although not a member of the medical staff, he practiced traditional Chinese medicine on service members.

Given Wong’s career with the Canadian military, his work as an instructor and practitioner of acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicine during the time of the allegations, investigators believe there could be more unidentified victims, both in the Esquimalt community and across Canada. Investigators believe these victims could include current and former serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, current and former students of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as members of the wider community.

“These alleged sexual assaults left these women feeling powerless,” said Special Victims Unit Detective Graeme Leblanc.

“Our investigation indicates that Kit Wong’s position in the Canadian Armed Forces and in the community left women hurt by this man, feeling as though they could not come forward. It doesn’t matter who the suspect is. We will listen.”

If you are a victim or have information regarding Kit Wong that you would like to share with police, investigators are asking you to call our non-emergency line at (250) 995-7654. Alternatively, you can contact the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre at (250) 383-3232. If you are a serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces and need support, you can contact the Sexual Misconduct Response Centre at 1-844-750-1678 or through your chain of command.

To report what you know anonymously, please call Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Victoria Police would like to thank their partner the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre and the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service, whose valuable contributions greatly assisted our investigators.

Our message to survivors of sexualized violence is that we believe you. For resources, please visit https://vicpd.ca/ webelieveyou Kit Wong is considered innocent until proven guilty.

Major changes to military justice system - mandatory training for presiding officers On Sept. 1, sections of the Strengthening Military Justice in the Defence of Canada Act will come into force, introducing substantial changes to the military justice system.

Some of the more significant changes at the summary trial level include: • Authority for the presiding officer, when there is a finding of guilt, to direct an absolute discharge, order a suspended sentence or an intermittent sentence; • A six-month limitation period within which a charge must be laid in order for it to proceed at summary trial; • An accused person may waive both the six-month charge limi-

tation period, as well as the pre-existing 12-month limitation period within which a summary trial must commence; • Superior commanders may impose minor punishments for officer cadets, such as confinement to barracks, extra work and drill and stoppage of leave; • Lieutenant-Colonels may be tried by summary trial by superior commanders holding the rank of Colonel and above; and • There is no longer a minor punishment of caution.

The changes enhance fairness and flexibility of the military justice system, demonstrating a continuing commitment to evolve to better serve

the armed forces and all Canadians, while remaining relevant and contributing to the Canadian Armed Forces operational effectiveness by maintaining discipline, efficiency and morale.

Presiding officers must be fully up to speed on these changes in order to continue to exercise their duties come Sept. 1. The Presiding Officer Certification Training Update (POCT – Update) is available on the Defence Learning Network and must be completed by all presiding officers.

Information and registration instructions for the POCT – Update are available in CANFORGEN 095/18.

More information on the upcoming changes is available on Canada.ca.

HMCS Ottawa provides assistance during Leaders at Sea Lt(N) Tristan Robertson HMCS Ottawa On the heels of completing the Rim of the Pacific exercise and during a busy summer schedule, HMCS Ottawa put their training to good use when the ship aided an 18-foot recreational vessel Aug. 4.

The boat had lost power 15 nautical miles south of the island of Oahu.

Ottawa was at sea for a two-day Canadian Leaders at Sea sail, with guests embarked to experience life at sea in the navy. Guests were afforded the unexpected opportunity to witness a real-world search and rescue situation in which the ship’s company

employed its response organization and capabilities.

As Ottawa transited to Pearl Harbor, the ship’s bridge team monitored radio transmissions between a vessel requesting assistance and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). When the Commanding Officer, Commander Alex Barlow ascertained the vessel in distress was in the immediate area he offered his ship’s assistance.

Once Ottawa reached the disabled vessel, a team from the ship’s Marine Systems Engineering department was sent to affect repairs. Lt(N) Alanna Foscarini, PO2 Michael Tatton, and LS Richard Tessier embarked on the vessel and dealt with a challenging sea state, an unstable deck, and an

unfamiliar engine as they attempted to resolve the mechanical issues. Ultimately it was determined the damage to the vessel’s engine was irreparable by ship staff, and the vessel would require a tow.

Ottawa coordinated and prepared the vessel to be towed by the USCG and remained on scene until the towing vessel arrived.

The ship received a “Bravo Zulu” from the RAdm E. Lunday, Commander of 14th United States Coast Guard District, who highlighted that Ottawa’s “quick and professional response ensured the search and rescue situation did not worsen,” and that the ship “demonstrated the superb teamwork that is the hallmark of Canada-US operations at sea.”

A summer job like no other 2Lt Chelsea Howard CFB Esquimalt PA Office When you think about a typical summer job in-between a school semester, you probably think fast food or retail.

However, for a few Royal Military College (RMC) students the ocean was their workplace and learning to sail in Sailing Training Vessel Goldcrest was their job, and they got paid to do it.

“We run a program through the International Sail and Power Association, so they’re doing a explains course that shows up on their Military Personnel Record Resume (MPRR),” explains John Haggis, second officer in charge of Royal Canadian Navy Sail, and the skipper of STV Goldcrest. “They get qualifications they can use to move up the different sailing tiers such as crew, day skipper, coastal navigator, coastal skipper, then offshore navigator,” But it isn’t all work and no play.

“They get to do what people pay

a lot of money to do, and that’s tour the Gulf Islands,” says Haggis. “We do port visits in places like Ganges, Sidney, Thetis Island, Port Browning and Poet’s Cove, and these are all sought-after places for people to go visit.”

The program is open to RMC students and personnel awaiting training. It provides a platform for junior military members to learn basic principles of leadership and how to function at sea. Having this kind of hand’s-on experience early in one’s career provides a considerable jump on further training, especially for future Naval Warfare Officers such as Naval Cadet Ken Yim. “We’re learning a lot on the sailing vessel and really familiarizing ourselves such that when we get on the actual frigates, we will have lots of experience already,” says NCdt Yim. Some of that experience includes navigating through a difficult area of the Gulf Islands: Enterprise Channel.

“We were learning how to sail through the eddies and the swirls

and we noticed at one point that our boat wasn’t moving at all,” says NCdt Yim. “We were just moving into the current, stationary in the water. With the help of our coach we kind of found the proper way to go through the swirls so that we were actually going with the current instead, and that’s how we sailed through that area.”

According to Haggis, there is much more than just functional training at sea for these students – they are getting a glimpse into what it means to integrate the military ethos into everything they do.

“The biggest part of this whole program is not just that they get a qualification that shows up on their MPRR. It provides an opportunity to show leadership and teamwork, and that’s what the military is all about,” says Haggis.

Students will return to school in a few weeks after having completed their course. Not bad for a summer job in the navy.

“Yeah it’s been really cool,” says Yim.

NCdt Marc Mahadeo takes his turn cranking the winch on board STV Goldcrest.

Many invasive species to Canada have the potential to be carried in ballast water, such as the Zebra Mussel (pictured), European Green Crab and Japanese Skeleton Shrimp. Reports indicate these invasions have caused approximately $54 billion in damage worldwide in the last five years alone.

HMCS Calgary first to use freshwater ballast Lt(N) Paul LePrieur HMCS Calgary HMCS Calgary is leading the way on environmental protection.

It became the first ship in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) to install an engineering change for use of fresh water as their ballasting medium to achieve compliance with the recently ratified International Maritime Organizations Ballast Water Management Convention.

Fresh water is generated from the ship’s reverse osmosis desalination units and eliminates the threat of transferring aquatic invasive species in the ship’s ballast water.

Ballasting is necessary for ship stability to adjust for varying sea states and loads. Traditionally, this has been accomplished by pumping in sea water directly from the environment.

However, this can be a transport mechanism for thousands of species, including hard to detect life such as larva of aquatic animals, or microbes.

These non-native species can overrun local ecosystems without the checks and balances of predators, or the natural competition of their original environment.

Many invasive species to Canada have the potential to be carried in ballast water, such as the Zebra Mussel, European Green Crab and Japanese Skeleton Shrimp. Reports indicate these invasions have caused approximately $54 billion in damage worldwide in the last five years alone.

Zebra mussel is a well-known example, having colonized many of North America’s inland water ways, now reaching as far west as California and being detected on recreational craft entering B.C. Zebra mussels completely cover surfaces in newly

established waters, suffocating native mussels, clams and plants, altering the food chain, and even the water composition through its filter feeding.

Severe economic impacts occur through the clogging of water intakes and fouling in-water structures and vessels. It has been speculated the first wave of the invasion was started by ballast water released into the Great Lakes in the late 1980s from a vessel originating in the mussel’s native Black Sea habitat.

In 2004, the International Maritime Organizations introduced the Ballast Water Management Convention to address the threat presented by invasive species found in ballast water.

Canada has ratified the Ballast Water Management Convention, which recently entered into force, commencing a five-year grace period for ballast water system upgrades for existing vessels.

DND’s environmental policy DAOD 4003 meets or exceeds the spirit of all federal laws, and beyond that, sets its own environmental baselines for ships based on the most stringent standards likely to be encountered during international deployments.

The Director General Maritime Equipment Program Management, in consultation with RCN stakeholders, reviewed the Convention, legislation, policies and ballast water practices to determine the best way to meet the upcoming regulations for existing and future navy vessels. The use of fresh water ballast in the Halifax class was selected as the most effective method to meet the new environmental requirements.

The Halifax class is equipped with four ballast water tanks that were originally configured to use untreated

saltwater ballast or diesel fuel oil as their ballasting mediums. To maintain the ship’s operational capabilities, the ballast tanks remain available as reserve fuel capacity if required.

In 2017, HMCS Calgary became the first ship to install the new fresh water ballasting system. Calgary was chosen, in part, because it is also one of the first ships, along with HMCS Halifax to upgrade to the latest Mk IV SROD systems for producing fresh water.

Calgary’s first fresh water ballasting operation took place April 10. Using water from the fresh water storage tanks, number one Ballast Tank was filled in one hour. The ballasting operation decreased the Storage Tank level from 90 per cent to 40 per cent and replenishment of the fresh water tanks was completed over an 18-hour period with no water restrictions being placed on the ship’s crew.

The second fresh water ballasting operation took place Aug. 5. This time number two and number three ballast tanks were filled directly from the RODs over a 14-hour period.

The fresh water storage tanks were used to provide domestic consumption during this period, again with no water restrictions being placed on the ship’s crew.

Calgary will continue to explore the limitations and capabilities of this new system, and the lessons learned will be used to develop ballasting guidance for the rest of the fleet.

While further trials will need to be done to ensure fresh water ballast is achievable under less than ideal conditions, this evolution marks another step in environmental stewardship and signals the navy’s continued commitment to progressive environmental leadership.

Lightbody scores second place in Ironman Canada 70.3 at Whistler Peter Mallett Staff Writer Award-winning athlete Lieutenant(N) Nicholas Lightbody has reached new heights after his second-place finish in the Open Age Ironman Canada 70.3 race at Whistler, B.C. Lightbody, formerly at Base Information Services (BIS) and currently posted to HMCS Discovery, recorded a personal best time of 4:09:10 in the Subaru racing series event held under a scorching summer sun on July 29.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic about the race; it shattered all my expectations and I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together,” said Lt(N) Lightbody.

The race was half the distance of a standard Ironman race and involved a 1.9 kilometre swim, 90 km bike ride and 21.1 km run. Competitors battled extreme heat with temperatures topping out at 35°C with higher humidex values.

The 26-year-old was runner-up in a field of 1,150 amateur competitors from across Canada and around the world.

With his second place finish, Lt(N) Lightbody beat his personal best by 15 minutes. After crossing the finish line with his arms raised above his head in celebration he was quick to congratulate his coach Mike Neill from Victoria’s Human Powered Racing.

“All the hard work that I have been putting in during training has been paying off,” said Lt(N) Lightbody. “Mike has created a great program that has help cultivate me into the athlete that I currently am.”

Lt(N) Lightbody started off strong in the opening swimming portion of the race and was first out of the water with

a time of 25:30. He was particularly surprised by his performance in the half marathon portion of the event where he finished 1:23:21.

But he still wasn’t fast enough to catch winner Holtham Elliot of Canada, who bettered Lt(N) Lightbody by just 20 seconds. Holtham is an accomplished competitor who won the 2014 Ironman Australia, and so is third-place finisher Dylan Gleeson of Canada, who was 2017 Ironman Canada champion and finished nearly three minutes behind Lt(N) Lightbody.

Holtham and Lt(N) Lightbody battled each other for the lead during the first 10 kilometres of the run until Holtham overtook him for the final time.

“I had never raced Elliot before, and after the race my coach said he was a good person to lose to,” said Lt(N) Lightbody. “I battled to keep close to him during the final stretch in hopes he would fade near the end, but he didn’t.”

He is currently on leave in Hawaii training for the upcoming Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa, on Sept. 1.

Lt(N) Lightbody is posted to the Vancouver-based reserve unit because he is currently in the process of transitioning out of the Canadian Armed Forces.

“I enjoyed my time in the Forces, received invaluable skills and will always be thankful for my time in the military; however, I have come to a point in my life where I am looking to find other things to pursue,” he said.

He is considering a career in either Sport Psychology or Kinesiology.

Determined sailor conquers Whistler Ironman Peter Mallett Staff Writer A sailor with Regional Cadets Support Unit Pacific gave herself a confidence boosting, early 50th birthday present by completing her first Ironman Race.

It took Petty Officer First Class Kim Chaisson from dawn to dusk to complete the gruelling Ironman Canada course at Whistler on July 29 during in an energy-sapping heatwave.

She finished near the bottom in a field of 1,191 racers but says she was proud of her perseverance to complete the race course that involves 3.8 kilometres of open-water swimming, 180 km of cycling and a 42 km of running.

“When I crossed the finish line I thought to myself, I can’t believe it’s finished. I did it, it made me feel better than graduating college,” said PO1 Chaisson. “It was a great 50th birthday present to give to myself.”

PO1 Chaisson finished in 1,148th place, with a time of 16:47:05. A range of emotions, from relief to jubilation, swept over her as she crossed the finish line in the darkness of late evening.

“Conquering the course was an internal battle and a process because throughout the race my mind was constantly working to shut my body down,” said PO1 Chaisson. “As the race continued, I continually asked myself: Why are you doing this and can’t I just stop and walk for a little while?”

At several points she did take a break to walk or get off her bike to rest and rehydrate at one of the designated rest stops, but says she was determined not to quit.

“I was thinking to myself, how you are going to feel tomorrow if you don’t get this check in the box as one of

p{cific

your life’s accomplishments. I needed to get it done, so throughout the race I was constantly thinking about conserving my energy and not succumbing to the heat.”

She relied on the encouragement of friends, family and coworkers at the Regional Cadet Support Unit (Pacific) throughout her journey to compete in the race.

She noted her husband Paul (Taylor), an avid cyclist, took on the lion’s share of chores and responsibilities around the house for the past year which led her to properly train for the event.

She joined Frontrunners over a decade ago, starting with a 10k run clinic, which lead to her first triathlon called the Sooke Sprint Triathlon in 2007. Since then, PO1 Chaisson has competed in over 65 distance races.

Despite being active in many sports as a youth and winning the Female Athlete of the Year in Eighth Grade she would gradually drift away from sports in her teens and 20s.

She became focussed on the sport of running in her late 30s because she was slightly overweight and feeling lethargic and tired all the time.

“Training for this event and all of the triathlons has helped me build self-esteem, and combat aging while discovering my completive side, along with the added bonus of making new friends because the social network in the triathlon community is very strong,” said PO1 Chaisson.
