The Wingham Advance-Times, 1988-05-10, Page 32R's YA! CANADIAN AIR CADETS 543 SQUADRON, WINGHAM By Rudy Boaftman A total of 21 members of the Wingham squadron participated in the Southwestern Ontario All -Air Weekend at CFB Ipperwash from Friday, April 29, to Sunday, May 1. The three-day event is traditionally held in the spring of each year. Every squadron is in- vited to send a specific number of cadets who are integrated into groups or "flights" with members of other squadrons. About 800 cadets grouped into 20 flights took part. Because they have given so much of their time to do their routines, the members of the 543 Squadron's drill team are customarily selected to be participants at the all -air weekend. The leadership skills of the Wingham squadron were recognized when Flt,-Sgts. Marjorie Campbell and Erika Hooftman were each chosen to lead a flight. The weekend was an unqualified success. Blessed with superb weather conditions, the cadets par- ticipated in exercises involving canoeing, orienteering, first aid, traversing, obstacle -course racing, sports, finding their way through a maze, search -and -rescue and gliding at the airport near Centralia. There also were hands-on displays of military vehicles, weapons, field equipment, ejection seats, parachutes and survival equipment. In addition, many cadets had rides in military helicopters which were specifically brought in for their use. • Above all, the food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The weekend ended with a giant ■ wings parade on Sunday afternoon. The parade was enhanced by the presence of a contingent of Michigan cadets from that state's Civic Air Patrol. The reviewing officer, Lt Col. D. Smith, took the general salute. The following members of 543 Squadron attended: Jennifer Allan, Lisa Bailey, Bob Bennett, Marjorie Campbell, Erika and Peter Hooft- man, Jennifer Dennis, Beatrice and Cornelia Leuenberger, Jenny Chet- tleburgh, Jane Ann Kennedy, Karen Procter, Paul Judge, Jason Dickert, David MacRae, Les Phillips, Sean Whiteley, Gerald Moore, Sean Murphy and Richard Wilts. The officer accompanying the cadets was. Capt° Mac Anderson, On Sunday, May 1, as well, an- other group of cadets, under the leadership of Arnold Lillow, went gliding at the Hanover air field. Robert Marshall, Kim Mayberry, Keith Massey, Jeff Dennis, Yvonne Trapp and Brad Hunter were the participants in this exercise. Pilot Jeff Dennis set a new glider flight record at the airport with a solo flight of two hours and seven minutes. The excellent weather conditions contributed to each cadet having much longer than usual flights. ' At the general parade on May 4 at the Armouries, the cadets practised their maneuvers for their annual in- specion at the Lbckcridge Manorial Arena later this month. The squadron's next meeting will be held at the Armouries on May 10 at 1900 hours. AIDS AWARENESS by James Greig iPINEAPPLE REHEARSALS HAVE STARTED for "Annie Get our ; e th School in Vt/ira hard►.

Why don't we isolate them here? — T. L., Winnipeg, Man. Your compassionate nature is overwhelming. In that respect, the only information I have concerning the Soviet AIDS situation is an ar- ticle written by Lillian Newberry of the Toronto Star on Jan. 28. In her article reporting from the Inter- national AIDS Conference in Lon- don, she advised that any person guilty of knowingly transmitting the AIDS virus in Russia would be jailed. That is a significantly differ- ent situation than your under- standing. Russian authorities apparently regard "knowingly transmitting" the disease as a pretneditated mur- der. Ms. Newberry reported that any known Russian AIDS virus car- rier is warned by officials about transmitting the disease and must sign a paper acknowledging the warning and the possible con- sequences. At the time of the article, Russia reported having only four cases of AIDS which had been identified, and 33' AIDS virus car- riers. My ex-boyfriend just had an AIDS test. How long does it take to get the results of an AIDS test? Please hurry and answer. — S., Corner - brook, Nfld. I'm afraid by the time my answer appears in this column your ex-boy- friend will know the results of his test, and you didn't provide me with a return address to respond to you personally. The length of time it takes for AIDS antibody test results depends on where and when your ex- boyfriend was tested. Blood samples have to be taken and sent to a laboratory for analysis and this is usually done by mail. If you live in a remote area, it may take longer for the mailed results to get back to you. The actual test analysis takes about 25 steps after a vial of blood is extracted,, and the process takes two to three hours by lab technicians. Your blood sample will likely be at the lab only one or two dayy but of course, this dependson The lab facilities in your province and how busy they, are. Wade Kearley of the Newfoundland Ministry of Health tells me that AIDS antibody test analysis is done once a week in that province on Fridays — and con- firmatory tests are done out of prov- ince. Your ex-boyfriend should, however, have his test results back within 10 to 14 days The following is a list of lead limes that can be anticipated for the AIDS antibody test results in the various provinces: British Columbia, 10-14 days; Alberta, 14-18 days; Saskat- chewan, 21-28 days; Manitoba, 14-21 days; Ontario, 5-10 days; Quebec, 14-21 days; Maritimes, 10-14 days.
