Quotation of the Week

“This academic year has seen a great deal of controversy raised by The Marker. It has stated opinions on a long list of subjects from government policies, to cheating in military colleges, to compulsory church attendance at RMC. One great reaction from the wing has been the cry that The Marker, because it goes into private homes, colleges, and service messes across Canada, gives our articles the appearance of publicly-washed dirty linen.”

7007 J.T.O. Jones.

What's Happening Around the College?

OCdt Chris Ker plays the Last Post during the Memorial Service for OCdt Burym

Padre Eric Reynolds shares his thoughts and prayers with those gathered during the meditation

RMC Says Good-Bye to One of Its Own
By: Sue Stefko Sue.Stefko@rmc.ca
RMC Public Affairs Officer

On Monday, December 5^th, RMC came together to do what was described by Padre Eric Reynolds as, “one of the most difficult of all things to do – to mourn the passing of a young man, a son, a friend, a squadron mate, a comrade in arms... and to commend him to the care of God.”

Officer Cadet Lee Burym, 18, of Danbury Saskatchewan, died in the early hours of Sunday, November 27^th, as a result of a tragic tobogganing accident on Fort Henry Hill. RMC was just beginning to enter its Christmas season – the annual Christmas concert was held that Friday, the Christmas Ball on Saturday evening. Cadets had finished their classes, and were preparing for the challenging exam routine ahead, and, of course, anticipating going home for the holidays. It was a shock – almost unbelievable, in fact - to hear that one of RMC’s first year cadets would make that trip home in a coffin.

RMC responded swiftly, sending 42 people to Saskatchewan for Ocdt. Burym’s funeral on Friday, December 2^nd. They were there to help – to provide support to the family, to conduct a funeral with full military honours, and also to say their good-byes. But for most at the college, that opportunity was not

available, and the service on December 5^th provided them with a chance to remember Ocdt Burym together,and to say good bye as a college. As Padre Reynolds said, “Now it is our turn as a college community and as a military family to bid our last adieu to Ocdt Lee Jarod Burym.”

The memorial service was both touching and dignified. It was led by RMC Padres Major Eric Reynolds, and Major Jean-Yves Fortin, but many of Ocdt. Burym’s friends and colleagues participated as well, in everything from reading bible passages, to singing, and to playing musical instruments in his honour. Gathered were his teachers, his friends, colleagues, military staff, and those who simply wanted to pay their respects to this young, talented and motivated young man who had his life snuffed out far too early. Padre Reynolds said it best when he said that, “We come today, in our grief, in our pain, in our doubt, in our confusion, and yes, in our anger. We come to ask God “why.” We come in the hope that the shadow of death might be turned into the light of a new day.”

And while we may never know ‘why’, the memorial service provided the RMC family with a chance to remember, to mourn, and ultimately, to celebrate the life of Ocdt Lee Burym together.

Update on the West Point / RMC hockey game

“The WP game is scheduled for February 11. Unfortunately we also have a game
scheduled against Queen's that day. Since we can't clone the team or play
two games in one day, we are working with Queen's to reschedule that game.”

Darren Cates, RMC Athletic Director, December 8, 2005 8:51 AM

Editor’s note: At press time, the start time is not certain. The West Point Hockey Web page indicates that it is 11 Feb @ 7PM. The Wayne Green “unofficial” site has it posted for 11 Feb @ 2PM. While the RMC “official” varsity hockey site displays the game as being scheduled for 4 Feb and a 2PM opening face-off.

Stay tuned!

Safety Award. RMC Food Services Section – Safety Conscious! For the first time in a number of years – RMC staff have been recognized officially with a Safety well Done Award!

(L to R) Mr. Mike Braham D Safe G, Sgt BF Murphy, 10815 LCol A Corriveau (RMC ’79) RMC Director of College Support Services, Sgt DA Mettlewsky, Mr. Dave Hentschel GGSO ADM (HR-Mil), 22421 2Lt JC Maldonado (RMC ’02) RMC A/UGSO.

Safety Well Done Awards
by 22421 2Lt JC Maldonado (RMC ’02)

December 1st, 2005 marked the first day that a member of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) received a Safety Well Done award. Indeed, the date was unique as two individuals technically received the first two Safety Well Done awards in RMCs history (not confirmed). Sergeants DA Mettlewsky and BF Murphy were presented these novel awards by the RMC Director of College Support Services, LCol A Corriveau with the D Safe G, ADM (HR-Mil&Civ), and Canadian Defence Academy Representatives looking on.

During the extreme summer temperatures of 2005, the two Sergeants of RMC Food Services Section exemplified above standard safety diligence. In a work area without temperature control, these two supervisors took the initiative to combat debilitating environmental factors and problem solved to proactively maintain workplace safety, health, and efficiency.

The physiological and psychological stress factors, caused by the high workplace temperatures, were overcome because these two individuals took the initiative to modify work methods. The main initiative

was to modify the Food Services work schedule in order to minimize the exposure to debilitating heat. Additionally, mandatory breaks were scheduled in a climate-controlled room with lots of water provided, coupled with a buddy system implemented so workers could aide and monitor each others welfare and hydration. Furthermore, the menus were modified in a manner that would decrease the use specific kitchen equipment that caused increases to the already high indoor temperature. Most important to note, is the fact that the two kitchen supervisors were proactive in modifying work methods and the use of safety talks as a tool to lower the risk of injury and lost productivity.

The two Sergeants displayed a prime example of the proactive effort that RMC Support Services is striving for in terms of Health and Safety at the workplace. The RMC Safety Organisation firmly believes, Sergeants DA Mettlewsky and BF Murphy have set a superior example of maintaining a safe, healthy, and efficient workplace.

5611 GL (Gerry) Stowe (RMC ‘62) RMC

Veritas Editor Sailing Out of Panet House!

5611 GL (Gerry) Stowe (RMC ‘62) was born in Quebec and grew up in Winfield, British Columbia. Our future Editor left Winfield when he was 18 and entered Royal Roads Military College in September 1958. Following graduation from RMC in 1962 he served at sea with the RCN on the: HMCS Restigouche; Skeena; MacKenzie; and Beacon Hill. Following his sea time he held a number of staff appointment mostly in Ottawa and Kingston. He retired from the Regular Force in 1987. He spent a number of years during the 1990s with the Reserve Force, including a stint as the Protocol & Information officer under 4459 Commodore Ed Murray (RMC ’59). He is a former President of the Kingston Branch, RMC Club.

Gerry has been the Editor of the highly acclaimed RMC Club Veritas magazine for the past five years. In particular, his piece on 4860 General de Chastelain (RMC ’60), is the feature article in the (November ’05) and it is a gem.

He has decided to put his pen away and is stepping back from the responsibilities of Editor. Although, we may see the occasional article contributed by this gifted writer in both the magazine and e-Veritas. At least, we hope so! He is also moving slowly but surely into full retirement mode. The first order of business for Gerry and wife Helen who also just retired from a life-long career in nursing is a month long cruise to the high seas and a number of exotic ports.

We, and the faithful readers of Veritas, and a ton or more of Ex Cadets; RMC staff and others will miss him at Panet House and around the college for a whole lot of reasons. Mostly because he is one of the few people around that has a true sense of the history of the place. Name any event - big or small that has been conducted around the Club or the college and he has had his fingers in it. Most times he has been up to his elbows in helping to ensure things went well.

Whether it was: Graduation parades; Convocation; Reunion Weekend and all that involves including: Legacy Dinners (which he was a key organizer for at least twice); taking care of the business /

administration end of things; Saturday parade and the
many protocols involved; he has been a leader in the Saturday night Dinner & Dance function a number of times. Even the Sunday morning parades to the Memorial Arch you name it, Gerry Stowe, helped organize it. In short, he knows what has to be done & when!

In hockey talk, Gerry is the type of guy you go to when there is a big game coming up and / or you need a big goal. He never let us down at Panet House. His “stats” around the RMC Club ranks up there with the famous NHL #99 who won a whole lot of scoring titles and quite a few Stanley Cups.

Rolande, worked closely with Gerry over the past five years in her role doing the majority of the translations for Veritas. She wanted to place on the record her appreciation and respect for the great job and the highly professional manner in which Gerry dealt with her in this capacity over that period of time.

RMC and the RMC Club have been fortunate indeed to have Gerry Stowe care about their best interests all these years. The entire staff at Panet House; the Club executive; members of the Club and, in particular, the thousands of faithful readers of Veritas all wish the very best for him and Helen in the future.

A short note for Gerry: When the phone rings and / or you see a Panet House e-mail, be sure to know we will be looking for…….”Gerry, how did you do…so & so …….., and…so & so etc.”

Readers who are interested, Gerry has a new e-mail address gstowe@cogeco.ca

Skylarks….

Web definitions for Skylark: Naval The official naval word, verb and noun, for Frolic, Playing about, Ballyragging. In sailing ship days the order "Hands to dance and skylark" was sometimes given; this was probably as a form of physical training, to liven the crew up after a period of dullness, the 'skylarking' perhaps referring to races run in the rigging. Probably the only occasion when this order is to be heard in modern times is before a dance on board when the french chalk on the "ball room" deck needs to be rubbed in.

Frigateers Were Up To More Than Making Spider Flags & Stain Glass Windows!

When I was in the Stone Frigate in 1972, we thought it would be a good idea to steal all the receivers out of the phones. We did it for every squadron and for some of the admin buildings (the Old Hospital and Mackenzie) as well. All we had to do was unscrew the thing and remove it. Which we did....for every phone except the Frigate! Well, the RCMP was brought in to find the culprit. As this was just after Rook Camp we were a little unnerved at the "fuss" we had caused. Ultimatums were given and while the RCMP and everyone else sorta figured it was #1 Sqaudron, I don't think we ever got caught! We just put all the receivers in a bag and left them for someone to find.

What was neat though, in hindsight, is how pranks, foolishness, and minor jokes were one way to bond you to your classmates. It did make you closer. Something that civy universities couldn't offer to the same degree as RMC.

The Morris Curling Clan: Earle, Maureen & John

John Morris Wins Hearts & Respect of Curling Fans Across the Country

The John Morris (son of 7301 Earle (RMC ’67) & Maureen) rink battled hard but came up just short at the Canadian Olympic curling trials in Halifax last week. They finished the ten team round robin with an impressive 6 & 3 won /loss record good for third place. In the semi-final match, the Jeff Stoughton team from Manitoba posted a hard fought 8-6 victory. Stoughton went on to lose in the final 8 to 7.

The Morris rink, which was coached by his father Ex Cadet Earle, showed their grit and class from start to finish. In the semi-final against Stoughton they fell behind 6 – 1 after only five ends. It appeared that the result was determined early and that they were done like dinner. However, they clawed their way back into the contest with two in the sixth and eighth ends, and a steal in the ninth to draw within one. Morris had two rocks sitting in the house and Stoughton had to be perfect with his last shot - and he was. It landed right on the “Tim Horton” button without a sweeper laying a broom on it.

The Halifax crowd and the TSN announcers recognized the gallant Morris effort throughout the final five ends that just came up short. Spontaneous and universal applause kept mounting from the sixth end until they left the ice at the conclusion of the game. John Morris clearly demonstrated that he is one of the best curlers in the World and that he still has a very promising

future in the game. There is no doubt that he will continue to win and win often. For the uninformed, he is a two time former World Junior Champion.

The 26 year Morris who holds a Physical Education Degree from Wilfred Laurier University and now resides in Calgary displayed class and the type of character he is during a CBC T.V. interview the day following his heart breaking elimination from the trials. John who has movie star looks and the presence to go with it was a spectator during the Women’s Final when he was being interviewed. His gracious and intelligent responses to a number of mundane questions confirmed to viewers from coast to coast that he is a highly professional and extremely charming individual.

Well done, John and Coach Earle - continued success in the future.

As a member of the Class of 1960. I want to express my appreciation for your efforts to keep all grads informed of the events in the life of RMC. I entered RMC in 1956, Sep 6 as I recall, and so will join the Old Brigade in 2006(along with Gen DeChastelain). As a resident of the USA, being in order British, Canadian and American, I really feel the need to keep up with my Alma Mater and so thanks for your letter. I hope to meet you in Sep 2006.

Nice touch on the correction to last week's article. I sent an email off to Ken MacDonald so hope to hear from him. Also, enjoyed the Dave Skinner article about Bart and Rat. The Rat (I'm sure it is the same Rat) was on staff at Roads when I was there '70-'72. Sure seemed like Capt Rattray had a good time both as an Officer Cadet and a Commissioned Officer. I have also included the email address at GD Canada (where we have a hockeysock-full of Ex-Cadets). Keep up the good work

10209 Chris Chance (RMC ’74)

During my time in Preeceville SK, I met a very interesting fellow.

Unfortunately I can't remember his name. This man had traveled from Regina for the funeral services being held for Ocdt Burym, yet he had no relation to this member other then the fact that he graduated from RMC in 1956.

The reason I am sending this e-mail is that he wanted me to convey a message to you. He was asking questions about present day RMC such as numbers attending. He thought that it would be interesting for the Veritas publication if such information was included in the publication.

Frigate Spider - the rest of the story!!

1973 Frigate Rooks - version of the Spider Flag.

Charlie King, piper extraordinaire and soon-to-be gentleman farmer, class of 1969, put me on to this story as I would have been the fellow who first put paint to canvas. The year was 1973 and as Frigate rooks were wont to do, all sorts of nefarious schemes were hatched for our very first ex-cadet weekend. The decision was made to concentrate on one effort, that being to paint a Frigate flag and fly it between the MacKenzie tower and the yard-arm for all to see as the columns of ex-cadets hit the parade square. My job (being an erstwhile artist) was to create the flag, and with the help of my apprentice painter Ian MacLeod (a fellow piper), we set to the job at hand. I can't remember who's bed sheet was sacrificed for the task, but late into that Saturday night the flag was finished, complete with sufficient rope to cross the wide expanse of the parade square.

As dusk was breaking Sunday morning, the main body of the "flag team" made their way into the MacKenzie building, to an upper window to set the whole adventure into motion. Being caught in the act, however, the flag never did make it to its intended position.

But the exercise was not totally wasted as the flag did not end up in enemy hands and a quick Plan "B" resulted in the flag being flown above the main entrance of the Frigate for the parade. So although not quite where it would have been most impressive, the first Frigate flag did still greet the ex-cadets as they marched that morning onto the RMC parade square (see photo).

It was hard to believe how popular the spider quickly became. Within the year we had spider letterhead, spider patches, spider envelops, it seemed spider-everything. I still have some of the original drawings, and some of the patches and letterhead kicking around in a memorabilia box in my basement. Other photos of the Frigate flag are around somewhere, including one with myself, Ian and the flag....but they seem to be playing a game of hide and seek at the moment (it's been 32 years!!!).

As a last aside.....the "small world" conclusion to this tale is that Chris Daley and I both left the military to work for Litton (to become NGCC), and although Chris has since moved on to his own company (and my employment with NGCC is now with L-3 ES) we still work together on the CP140 Aurora in DAEPM(M) at 400 Cumberland, Ottawa.

So, as they say on the radio...."and now you know the rest of the story".
