Youth studies aviation at Cadet camp Back home Steven Dougherty wears the medal he earned during his stint at Cadet camp. (Photo submitted) To many young people. summertime is synonymous with going to camp. And in most cases that means a week or more of fun in the sun and new friends. With so many special interest camps nowadays, one should easily find an appealing camping experience. Campers can strengthen their faith in a church-sponsored environment; indulge in a hobby such as horseback riding or computers; further their education at math or music camp; hone physical skills at a sports camp or investigate possible future careers. For three weeks in July. Steven FROM LONDESBORO Gang hosts euchre The Londesboro Happy Gang Seniors hosted a euchre tournament at Londesboro Community Hall on Friday evening.

By BRENDA RADFORD Call 523-4296 Although I don't want to think about the end of summer, here is a chilly note: Blyth Minor Hockey registration will take place Saturday, Aug. 24 from 9 a.m. to noon and Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Blyth arena. Although it seems early, this gives -organizers an opportunity to set up team rosters and do scheduling. Ladies of the village gathered in the basement of Londesboro United Church to fete bride-elect Jean Crawford with a miscellaneous bridal shower. Jean and Bradley McVittie will be married on Saturday, Aug. 31. Family and friends gathered along the river on Friday evening, Aug. 16 to help Sam Dougherty celebrate his 60th birthday. Following a barbecue the group enjoyed a campfire, and after dark Steven set off a number of fireworks. You may have heard or seen these before the fog rolled in. Jansen Masonry of Seaforth has been repairing/reconstructing the corner pillars of Londesboro United ChM:eh recently. The bricks were loose in'. the area above the roof in particular- and were crumbling away. The below-ground bases of these )illars were also reinforced. Time tad vagaries of weather had taken heir toll. Dougherty attended Air Cadet camp and studied Introduction to Aviation. This camp, based at the Trenton Armed Forces base, is fully funded by the provincial government through the Ministry of National Defence. Similar camps are found in all Canadian provinces and are an attempt by our governments to encourage young people to join the armed forces. Steven is a corporal in the Goderich Air Cadet Squadron and this was his second time at Trenton. Two years ago he spent two weeks doing basic training. Several others from the Goderich squadron also spent time at Trenton this summer in a wide range of courses in two, three or six-week sessions. This experience is open to an air cadet between the ages of 12 and 19. Application is made at the local squadron. The community officer sends the applications and his recommendations alongto a regional office., Acceptance is based on an availability in the courses a cadet lists as options. Steven was one of 190 cadets in that particular aviation course and studied meteorology, navigation, principles of tlight, propulsion and radio in the classrooms of Loyalist College in Belleville. The group was housed in the recently constructed college dorms and travelled to Trenton for practical study. This course dealt with the operation of aircraft and and was quite similar to ground school in the process of obtaining. a pilot's licence. All courses were tested and each cadet received a grade for academic courses and badges for other learned skills. Steven noted that they did do some model building, and rocket launching and also had time for recreation such as canoeing, etc. He enjoyed the friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable teaching stall. Standard dress was regulation blue pants and wedge (cap), light blue shirt and parade hoots. Steven would like to earn his private pilot's licence and his -experience at this camp can facilitate that. Moreover, these courses can help a young person decide whether his future lies with the armed forces. The training and service gained at camp can help with acceptance into the military or the reserves. If Steven attends camp at Trenton again next summer, he would likely study gliding and power in a six-: week session. If you know some young person. who might benefit from air cadets and this type of camping experience, more information can be obtained from the Dougherlys at 523-9487. The, Goderich squadron meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6 • 9 p.m. from September through June.
