NORFOLK HUB, November 6, 2012 page 2

Stan Barraclough In August 1941 Feltwell was a 3 Group Bomber Command Station. There were two squadrons of Wellingtons – 57 (DX) and 75 (M) - New Zealand. Sgt. James Ward V.C. the only winner of the award on Wellingtons was stationed there at the time. I was posted to 57 Squadron and flew under the captaincy of Sgt. Pilot Don Price (RNZAF) until he had finished his tour. Our aircraft named GORAKHPUR was the gift of an Indian Rajah. When Don had completed his tour his crew was split up and I became part of the crew of T. (Tommy) under the captaincy of Warrant Officer Pilot Tom Purdy D.F.M. Tom had been high flying instructor at Feltwell and was about to begin his third tour. Tom's 2nd pilot was Sgt. Max Cronon (R.N.Z.A.F.), his observer was Flying Officer Ron Scarlett (R.A.A.F.), front gunner was Sgt. Bob Aldous (W/Op. A.G.R.A.F.V.R.) and the rear gunner was Sgt. Jimmy Poulton (R.A.F.V.R.) The radio and the two free-mounted Browning machine guns amid ship were my responsibility. As a crew we worked well together. We thought we were lucky to have Tom Purdy as Captain. He was a very experienced pilot and he inspired confidence in all of us. With him ‘up front’ we though we stood a very good chance of finishing our 30 ops. However, on the 27th December 1941 we were briefed to bomb the marshalling yards at Dusseldorf. The N.F.T. had gone well and we took off from Methwold which was the satellite for Feltwell at 5:15 pm. We climbed to 12000 ft and left the English coast at Orford Ness. Tom let Max take over. Ron was checking our course, the gunners were wide awake and I was listening out. We encountered light flak over the Dutch coast and began the customary weaving. In this way we pursued a fairly uneventful course to our target. Of course targets in the Ruhr were heavily defended and bombing them was never very straightforward. As we approached Dusseldorf we could see that all those nasty things were coming to life. There were umpteen searchlights, lots of light and heavy flak and aircraft were already dropping their bombs. Tom believed in bombing at 12000ft. The usual height was 15000 ft. He took over the controls and Max went into the astrodome to keep an eye on the flak which was coming up thick and fast. Ron lay down in the nose. He would find our target and drop the bombs. The night sky was clear and moonlit so that we identified our target without too much trouble. We turned back to make our bombing run. Ron gave his instructions - "Steady – left - left" etc. and after what seemed an eternity he called out "Bombs gone". The aircraft seemed to heave a sigh of relief as she shed her load but it was at that moment that our troubles began.The cockpit was suddenly filled with the overwhelming brilliance of searchlights. We were in the process of being "coned" and knew what the result could be if we didn't shake 'em off. I had seen one of our bombers blow up in similar circumstances over Emden. Flak was now coming uncomfortably close, but we had dropped our bombs, we were on course and Tom had made up his mind to get out of those lights. The nose went down and we hung on as the aircraft dived like a bat out of hell. We were

down to 7000 ft before we lost them. He levelled out and we were just beginning to sort ourselves out when it happened. Streams of incendiary tracer ripped through the bottom of the aircraft setting fire to a large section of the fuselage below the astrodome. Susceptibility to fire was the Wimpy's major weakness. Immediately the aircraft began to lose height. Tom knew that she was finished and gave the order to abandon aircraft. I went forward to open the bulkhead door behind the front turret whilst Ron raised the escape hatch door. Tom was hauling back on the control column but the aircraft was not responding. Ron dropped through the hatch and I went back to get my parachute which was stowed near the radio. By now the observer's compartment was in flames and it was only with some difficulty that I got the chute and clipped it on. Back to the hatch I went and jumped clear. Hanging on the end of my parachute I saw the burning aircraft continue on its downward course until it exploded on contact with the ground. I did not see anyone else get out and there was no sign of Ron Scarlett's parachute in the sky below me. The Messerschmitt flew towards me; we had been an easy prey; perhaps he meant to finish me off - but he went once round me and then made off doubtless pleased with his evenings work. I landed somewhat ungainly in a snow covered field. The countryside around was very flat. There was no cover and no sign of human habitation. Down the side of the field ran a dyke. I bundled my chute, harness and Mae West and stuffed them in the bottom of the dyke. I looked around hoping to see some sign of Ron Scarlett but he was nowhere to be seen. Although I could not see the crashed aircraft I knew in which direction it lay. I therefore began to walk away from it. Fortunately it was a dry evening, but it was cold and I wore no special clothing. I had on battle dress and flying boots but nothing on my head or hands. In a breast pocket was my escape kit consisting of Dutch, Belgian and French currency, a map on silk, and a compass.Though my calculations indicated that I might be in Holland I couldn't be sure so I decided to look for an isolated farmhouse, hope that it was Dutch and try to get some help. I found such a place on rising ground some four or five miles from where I came down. It was a large house with room for animals at the back. The man who answered my knocking looked me up and down and did not seem unduly put out when he realized that I was an airman on the run. He seemed friendly enough and took me into a large kitchen where he introduced me to two other men and a woman. That their friendliness was false and only a cover for their true intentions I was to discover later. Anyway, first I produced my map and they confirmed that I was in fact in Holland. Then I raised the matter of concealment and escape and they indicated that they would be able to hide me until the morning. In the meantime the woman had set out hot milk, bread and ham and at that point I couldn't help feeling that good fortune was really on my side. After a very satisfying meal I thanked my hosts and made

them understand that I was ready to lie down. I was taken through the animals' quarters to a small room at the back of the house and left to settle myself down on a sort of camp bed in the corner. I removed my flying boots and having hidden my silk map under the fleecy sock of one boot I climbed into bed and was soon asleep. Not for long though; I woke to find two uniformed men beside the bed. The younger man who spoke English explained somewhat ruefully that they were members of the Dutch police. He said that his companion was a sergeant and he was a corporal. He was sorry but based on information received they had to take me in, and would I prepare to go with them. I really hadn't any choice. I felt badly let down. I had been ‘taken in’ by this Dutch family. I should have realized that they were too friendly and too quick to agree to my requests. I did not see them again. They kept well out of the way. The police had arrived on bicycles and had borrowed one for me. We left the farm with the sergeant riding in front, me in the middle and the corporal bringing up the rear. They did not warn me that the cycle had a back pedal brake so that when I tried to free wheel I braked and skidded on the icy surface of the lane. We soon came to a village and the sergeant signalled us to dismount. He took us into a little house where he introduced his wife who immediately began to cry. We sat down together and whilst the good lady gave me biscuits and hot chocolate, with the English speaking Dutchman acting as interpreter, I was asked to give them what news I could of the war. The allies were not doing very well in December 1941 but I did my best to assure them that there was no doubt in my mind that we should win in the end. It was at this point that the corporal explained that my meeting with the Dutch farming family had been most unfortunate, as they were well known for their collaboration with the Germans. The police were supposed to be taking me onto their headquarters so we had to say our goodbyes and continue on our way without further delay. It was when we arrived at the police station that I began to realize that I was in some way unique in that part of the world. Apparently I had the doubtful honour of being the first member of the R.A.F. to drop in on them. The commandant of police had been informed that I was arriving and had got out of his bed to welcome me. He brought me cigarettes. I remember the blue packet and the English name very well. They were called “Just Love". Courteous and apologetic, he said that they were holding me but he did not think they would come until the morning. In the event they arrived quite soon after they were told about me. There were three typical German bully boys. I was searched for arms and whisked away by car to a nearby frontier post where most of my clothes were taken away and I was locked up for the night. The following morning I was taken on foot to the local Luftwaffer Station and brought before the commandant (Oblt. U.Stellv. Fliegerhorst Kommandant). I had to listen to a precise little speech - "For you the war is over" - etc. and

A few weeks back I went to have tea with an old buddy. As usual we got to talking about books and he said to me, ‘I have something you might want to read.’ Now I always have

something to read… and I really didn’t need anymore but curiosity got the best of me. And I said, ‘Sure, what you got?’ He left the room and came back with what looked liked an old folder. He proceeded to tell me that

these were actually POW stories from WWII. I flipped open the pages and sure enough, there were these amazing stories. The paper they were printed on felt thicker, the typeset appeared to be that of a very old typewriter. I took the

stories home and began to read… and I found one that I wanted to share on this very important week.Monica and I decided to leave the story just the way it is… enjoy and do not forget what so many did to preserve our way of life.

there were questions that had to be ignored. But he was polite and gave me a receipt which listed certain personal possessions which they had kept when my clothes were searched. I was returned to the frontier post

and later that day was taken by car and train to Amsterdam to be lodged in the military prison there. In adjoining cells were Sgt. Donald Goddard and Pilot Officer Charles Hall. Don was the only other survivor from the seven aircraft lost on the Dusseldorf raid. Charles had been sent out in his P.R.U.

Spitfire on the 28th December to photograph the bomb damage and was shot down by flak over Dusseldorf. On the 30th December in company with four other sergeants and two pilot officers I made the journey by train to Dulagluft. There I was kept in solitary confinement and

subjected to interrogation for seven days. This is just one of the many stories that my friend lent me to read. I have been searching to find relatives of this man… I will keep looking and hopefully will find someone. I hope you enjoyed the story. I do know Stan made it back home!

By Dave ScottA health food store twenty-five years ago was unheard of. When Gail Lyons started her business it was on a small budget and a lot hope. Of course there is a story behind the story…You see Gail’s son, Casey, was having all kinds of health issues. It was something she and her husband could not figure out. Gail soon realized that his diet was a major part of the problem. So Gail set out to figure out the proper foods for her young son and sure enough his health began to improve. At that time there was no health food stores locally, so Gail was constantly travelling to the city for supplies. Then it hit her, there must be other families going through the same thing. And before long, Simcoe Natural Foods was born. Business grew slowly and Gail stuck with it. The client base grew more and more, and with that so did her knowledge and her stock.

With a background in nursing, Gail quickly helped to identify problems and assist folks in figuring out their diets. You can tell Gail has always put her heart into helping folks. I watched a conversation she had with a customer. She had exactly what the customer needed, knew where to find it, took the time to hear about the customer’s health issues, and made a few recommendations. It was a totally positive experience. It made it easy to see why her business has continued to grow over these past twenty-five years. Friday, November 9th, Simcoe Natural Foods welcomes all customers old and new to come and visit. There will be 15% off most items if you bring in a canned-good for the food bank, company representatives on hand, and a few giveaways as well! All in all, it will be a fun day for all.So stop by 10 Norfolk Street, South or call (519) 428-2077 and congratulate Gail and her staff on twenty-five years of feeling good!

TwenTy-five yeaRs of feeling good!

Gail Lyons owner of Simcoe Natural Foods celebrates twenty-five years in business!

Big SplaSh Of The Week!

By Dave ScottI have gotten to know Dr. Mark Ghesquiere over the summer and was impressed with his vast knowledge. He is one of those guys you could sit with for hours and just talk about, well, everything world related. I do enjoy a great conversation and with Mark you can explore many different topics. One of our conversations a few weeks back, revolved around Extreme Response and the work Mark and his family were doing with the organization.I have written a few articles about Extreme Response in the past and at the time of our conversation it was great to catch up on all of the great work they were doing. Just to remind you what Extreme Response is and does, I went to the website, http://www.extremeresponse.org/canada,

and added their information for you:Extreme Response CanadaExtreme Response Canada is a humanitarian aid organization committed to meeting the needs of people living in extreme situations. We work primarily through partnerships with community-based organizations, helping them reach out to their neighbours. We are actively involved in 13 countries through 31 partnerships

or projects.We focus on orphans, refugees, dump dwellers, and people in extreme poverty. We provide help and hope to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, and those who lack clean drinking water, education, and medical care.Extreme Response Canada was founded in 2006 as a nonprofit, global organization dedicated to providing relief and support to people living in extreme, often life-threatening conditions. With a passion for the world’s poor, Extreme Response Canada programs target those at greatest risk. Priority areas of program support focus on addressing the most immediate and critical physical needs and include:Providing shelter for those with no home.Providing school supplies and education for those who want more opportunities.Providing food for those who are hungry.Providing love for those who need a hug and encouragement.Providing life-skills training for those who will soon be left to fend for themselves.

Blue Jay and Downy WoodpeckerBy George E PondVic Gibbons’ friend Fred Sayn was able to photograph a Blue Jay and a Downy Woodpecker in the same tree and showed it to Vic as a possible painting. Vic readily agreed and had soon placed the pair of birds on his signature Birch tree. Don’t you just love that background sky? Both these birds are very common residents of Norfolk and can be

found throughout the year. Blue Jays like to land on platform type feeders where they will scatter the feed in every direction, usually on the ground, until they find just the right seed. They seem to prefer Sunflower seeds. Downy Woodpeckers on the other hand like to attack a piece of suet. They will sometimes peck away for many minutes before flying off.

Downy Woodpeckers are sometimes confused with their larger cousins the Hairy Woodpeckers. Generally the difference in size is enough to tell them apart; if not look at the bill size, that of the Downy is very short and small whereas the Hairy’s bill is quite large and thick at the base. Also the Downy usually has dark spots or bars on its white outer tail feathers. The outer tail feathers on

the Hairy Woodpecker are entirely white. Both Downys and Hairys can be found in the forests of Norfolk and both like to visit Suet feeders. We are all familiar with the “Thief, Thief Thief’ or “Jay, Jay, Jay” call of the Blue Jay but they also make many other sounds (I have heard as many as 17). Their one cry is often mistaken for the cry of a Red-shouldered Hawk.

WhAt WIll Be Your retIrement costs?One of the two biggest concerns I keep hearing from retiring people is they want to enjoy their money while young and healthy enough to do so, but worried about running out before the end. The other concern is leaving too large of an estate; meaning that they did not enjoy retirement to the fullest extent as possible. So how can you find the optimal balance between spending more during the early years of retirement but still have enough to last? First of all, investment management and income generation is only half of the equation. It is just as important to scrutinize your spending habits to the same degree as your investing habits.Before retirement, carefully record what you spend your money on and how much. This can be done by scrutinizing your bank, credit and debit card statements to analyze your spending pattern. Develop a budget for the first year of retirement by breaking down your spending into what you need and what you want. Compare what you spend now to what you plan to spend during retirement. After you retire compare what you actually spent to what was planned or budgeted. (It is similar to monitoring your investments.) If a major difference shows up between planned and budgeted spending during the annual ‘check-up’ then some trade off choices need to be made to bring things back on track. If you do this annually then you can repair any over or under spending the next year with a lot less pain then if you become aware after it’s too late to do anything about it.Rule of thumb statements such as “You will require 70% of your pre-retirement income for retirement.” are not good enough because mistakes made now can be the difference between a happy or unhappy retirement.Some items such as food which includes groceries, alcohol, restaurants and take out would decrease because people have more time and tend to cook more at home. Shelter costs tend to stay constant. Transportation costs are reduced because of lower insurance, gas and maintenance since you are not commuting to work. Household operations tend to decrease in cost since most retirees have the time to do landscaping and housecleaning instead of hiring out. Health and personal care remain the same for the first few years but then generally increase as time passes. Discretionary items such as recreation and gift costs depend on your lifestyle and can be cut back if money becomes tight.In a previous article I discussed that research shows that people who carefully prepared for retirement were more satisfied with their retirement. Part of that preparation is creating a retirement budget that is as realistic as possible.

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a new treatment option for those that are affected by conditions such as:

• plantar fasciitis • bursitis • Achilles tendinopathy (commonly known as Achilles tendonitis) • tennis elbow • calcific tendonitis

A pneumatic generator physically delivers the

shock wave to the skin, where it is transformed to sound energy and delivered to the targeted area. The use

of shock waves makes the treatment completely non-invasive and is well tolerated by patients. The effects of shock waves were discovered several decades ago after it was noticed swimmers in the Pacific Ocean were affected by the detonation of mines although they were well out of the blast radius. As the scientific community grew more understanding of the effects caused by shock waves, and medical technology advanced to a sufficient level, the medical profession was able to harness the power of shock waves for therapeutic uses. Radial Shockwave Therapy works by effectively breaking down tissue in a controlled manner to allow the targeted area to heal properly through the regeneration of blood vessels. It has shown to be successful in the treatment of chronic pain. Results can be felt after only one treatment with a large improvement becoming evident after a month’s worth of treatment, on average tissue regeneration takes place after three months. With Radial Shockwave Therapy, patients are in and out the door with treatments typically only taking between five to ten minutes.

The Box Elder Bug seems to cause most concern in the autumn when they gather in considerable

numbers on the warm outside walls of homes.Fortunately though, they are harmless as they can’t bite, they don’t eat anything on the inside of your house, including houseplants, your family or your pets.At worst they can “spot” interior furnishings with their droppings if they can gain entry into your home otherwise they are just looking for a suitable place to over winter. If they gain entry to buildings through cracks or other openings they remain in wall cavities over winter, then emerge inside the home in the spring. They will not breed indoors, so there is no danger of starting an “infestation”. In the summer, Box Elder Bugs will normally feed on the leaves, flowers, and seedpods of the box elder tree (manitoba maple) or on the silver maple. The bugs cause little damage to trees. Some Control Measures

• Caulking windows and doors, and repairing window and door screens will prevent bugs from entering a home. • An obvious way to avoid infestations is to get rid of near-by female box elder trees, the ones that form seeds or “keys”. • If you decide you would like to spray for control:

1) One home remedy is to use a 3-4% mix of water and soap (by volume) that can be sprayed directly on the insects. Remember however that soaps only kill on contact. 2) An application of a residual insecticide to exterior walls in the fall where the bugs are congregating - this will tend to discourage them from landing. Insecticides though are not very effective after the weather turns cold.

• A good way to eliminate them is to vacuum the bugs up with a long hose attachment. If you squash them they may stain the walls or fabric.

Being an independent retailer, and small as I might be, I try to bring certain labels to the public simply because, I have studied the company, perhaps dealt with them a little and then decided that they were so unique, I just had to carry them in the store. Some of the labels I carry are internationally recognizable such as Kravet, Robert Allen, or Ralph Lauren. And some, are not so recognizable - such as Sun Glow Window Coverings.I first discovered Sun Glow years ago when asked by a restaurant in Guelph to incorporate their personal collection of Saris into their window treatment. I used a Sun Glow panel track system and added the Sari fabric to each of the individual tracks. The outcome was very unusual and unique. Since I am a custom workroom, I never saw a reason to add a window covering/blind supplier because after all - I hand-make fabric roman blinds. Then one day, the Sun Glow sales rep dropped by and showed me their Artisan Home Collection. I totally loved it. I tend to like things that are unique, that stand out, or are just a little different from what everyone else has. I also appreciate and value good workmanship when I see it.Sun Glow Window Coverings is a Toronto Company - which has been around since 1983 - they manufacture custom window treatments of

superior quality and workmanship. Their speciality is roller blinds constructed from award winning energy saving fabrics (from Phifer in the US) however; they carry panel track systems, roman shades, fixed shades, wooden blinds and my favourite - the Artisan fabric line. What makes the Artisan line so unique, is that the blinds can be done up in fabrics that have fabulous textures and prints. They use transparent fabrics, which filter light, yet provide a minimal view obstruction; translucent fabrics, which provide ambient light while maintaining some privacy; or opaque fabrics which provide total room privacy and darken the room. In addition to the various prints and fabrics available, the customer can personalize their window treatment with genuine Swarovski crystal elements. Who doesn’t love Swarovski crystals! Crystal pendants can be used as pulls and they come in various shapes and cuts with finishes such as clear, black or Aurora Borealis, changing ordinary window treatments - to

extraordinary window treatments! Also unique is that the various pulls and trims you can add to your treatment are all hand done in Europe. Hand-blown glass pulls? Available! Sun Glow is a smaller company, yet you know they must be doing something right to continue to maintain an ever-increasing share of the very competitive window covering market. I believe it is because they have consistently used quality components and materials from leading North American and European suppliers. They are only available through small retailers like me, no big box stores. They consistently are on the front line of product development and innovation. Many of their products in their “regular” line carry Greenguard certification or use eco friendly fabrics, which protect you, your family or your interior furnishings from more than just the sun. One example, they carry a fabric called Pure Screen which actually cleans the air. Seriously. The special coating on the fabric enables it to accumulate harmful gases and bad odours on its surface and covert them in a catalytic process into harmless substances

such as water and carbon dioxide. It is Oeko Tex certified which means it is environmentally friendly and safe for nursing homes, children’s bedrooms, schools or even hospital rooms or anywhere else we might be concerned about the level of indoor pollutants that exist. Impressive? Definitely. To see more of why I am so happy to be carrying this product line, visit me to see the huge selection of fabrics available.Judy JanzenSun e Girl • 519-909-9518www.sun-e-girl.com

tHe Power to FigHt tHe Cold and Flu!The average adult contracts the flu or a cold, two to four times each year. In children, the

incidence is twice as high. Without medical intervention, common upper respiratory symptoms persist for five to ten days, during which, most patients experience a significant reduction in their

quality of life.The naturopathic approach to prevention and treatment of the flu is founded on stimulating and optimizing the immune system. Our flu shot is comprised of three remedies each with its own specific functions and effects. Safe for everyone, including infants and expecting

mothers, it’s preservative and egg free and it can be taken orally, no injection necessary!Our most important ally in disease prevention and recovery is a strong immune system.

The decision on how you wish to address influenza is yours and yours alone. Make your decision an informed one.

Registered Naturopathic Doctors are trained in preventative medicine. We are able to determine where your immune system weaknesses are so that they improve under our care and your

overall health is not hindered by a cold, the flu, and/or something worse and prolonged. With individualized causal analysis, diagnosis, and treatment of your current health, we can prevent the

flu and you from coming together.

Xylitol is an all natural sweetener that looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol is naturally occurring in many of the fruits and vegetables we eat on a daily basis. Once extracted and

processed it yields a white, crystalline granule that can be used in any recipe that calls for sugar. It contains only 2.4 calories per gram and is slowly absorbed as a complex carbohydrate. Xylitol

looks like sugar, tastes like sugar, and is the same sweetness as sugar - making it the ideal natural sugar replacement.

Glycemic Index of Common Sweeteners• Xylitol - 7 • Agave Nectar - 15• Barley Malt Syrup - 42• Maple Syrup - 54• Backstrap Molasses - 55• Honey - 62• White Sugar - 68• High Fructose Corn Syrup - 100

Xylitol is a natural insulin stabilizer; therefore it doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugar. It actually helps reduce sugar and carbohydrate cravings and is known to be diabetic safe. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association reports that Xylitol is an effective

preventive agent against dental cavities.Feel free to stop by and check out our new line of Xylitol products including Lollipops, Candies,

Mints and Chewing Gum. A perfect after dinner treat, or a healthy alternative for Halloween and Christmas Parties! Who knew candy could be healthy too?

when deALing with An insurer, it pAys to be determined

She lost a battle, but won the war. Mrs. Pastore, that is. Back in November 2002, Mrs. Pastore was hit by a car while crossing a street.

She broke her left ankle. It was a nasty injury that did not heal properly and led to a number of surgeries and other complications. Amongst others, Mrs. Pastore’s gait changed significantly. This led to problems with her knee, and the necessity for a knee replacement. Mrs. Pastore went from being self-sufficient and active, to being “almost completely dependent on others for her most personal care needs”. In May 2005, Mrs. Pastore applied to the insurer for a declaration that she was catastrophically impaired and therefore, entitled to enhanced medical & rehabilitation benefits and attendant care benefits. At the insurer’s request, Mrs. Pastore was assessed by a number of health care professionals, who found that she had a “marked impairment” in terms of her daily living; but only a “moderate impairment” in the other three areas of functioning (social functioning; concentration, persistence & pace; and worksite functioning). The question then became, is a finding of “marked impairment” in one area of functioning sufficient for an insured to be considered catastrophic? Predictably, the insurer said no, a finding of marked impairment in all four categories is necessary. Mrs. Pastore, disagreed. And she was ready for the long haul. The matter went to the Financial Services Commission of Ontario for determination. The arbitrator found in favour of Mrs. Pastore. The insurer appealed to the delegate for the arbitrator’s director, who also sided with Mrs. Pastore. The insurer persevered and appealed to the Divisional Court. The Divisional Court saw things differently, and ruled in favour of the insurer. Mrs. Pastore was not ready to give up. She appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. And that was a very wise decision, for Mrs. Pastore won the day. The Court of Appeal held that a finding of “marked impairment” in one area of functioning is all that is required for a catastrophic designation. So, what is the lesson we can all take from Mrs. Pastore’s ordeal? The lesson is that sometimes it pays to be patient and persistent. That she who wins last, wins!

Health Tip of the Week

Naturopathic Flu cliNic DateS

• OctOber 23rd • NOvember 20th

By MARG WERDEN A cross-continent trek provides a taste of winterI went on a “little” drive last week that gave me a preview of the coming winter season. My daughter, Laura, has moved home from British Columbia for a few months and wanted to bring her hockey equipment, snowboard, skis, bike, etc. along with her so decided to drive rather than fly back to Ontario. As I love nothing more than to travel and see other parts of this country and the world, I volunteered to keep her company on the drive. It was quite an interesting 5,000-kilometre experience.After leaving home in the early hours of the morning to drive to the Toronto airport and taking a five-hour flight, I was in Vancouver to be welcomed by Laura and, of course, rain. We are talking about Vancouver, after all! We immediately pointed the car, aka “Little Red” (a 1992 VW Golf), eastward and were on our way.Although I had had mostly cloud cover on the flight out to Vancouver, whenever there was a break in the clouds, the ground below was barely distinguishable from the clouds because of the snow on the ground. As a result, we were forewarned as to the weather we were going to encounter on our trip. We weren’t disappointed! As we neared Mission, BC, approximately 70 kms east of Vancouver, we could see snow on the mountain tops although it continued to rain at our level. However, as we headed up the Coquihalla Highway, there was snow at the sides of the road near

Merritt but a drizzly fog greeted us at the Coquihalla Summitt. When I visited Laura earlier in the year, we were prevented from taking a tour of the Revelstoke area by flooding and mud and rock slides. This time, we were worried that snow was going to keep us from reaching our destination. However, we were lucky enough to be a bit behind the worst of the weather and the roads were cleared by the time we travelled through the area. We made a short stop at Craigellaichie, just west of Revelstoke, where the last spike of the CPR rail line was driven on November 7, 1885. The completion of the cross-Canada railway joined British Columbia and the Pacific coast to the remainder of Canada. Trains continue to be an important mode of transportation in the west. We saw dozens of trains, each scores of cars long. With no trains left here in Norfolk, seeing a train has become something of a novelty now.Day 2 of our journey took us through Roger’s Pass in Glacier National Park. At an altitude of 1,330 metres, winter had definitely settled in. It was very cold and windy and there was a lot of snow on the ground. We got out to stretch our legs and take a few photos, but the cold encouraged us to continue on our way. Summers here are short and winters are obviously much longer than what we are used to here in Norfolk County!Near Calgary, we made a slight detour north to visit my brother

and his family in Leduc, Alberta, where we took a day-long hiatus from our drive. Although they had no snow on the ground there, it did snow on the day we were there and continued most of the next day as we headed southeast toward Regina. East of Edmonton we saw about 20 bison in Elk Island National Park, protected from the road by fencing. This park protects the wilderness of the aspen parkland, one of the most endangered habitats in Canada and is home to herds of free-roaming plains bison, wood bison, moose, deer, and elk. As we travelled across the prairie in Saskatchewan, the amount of snow we saw decreased, but we saw thousands of Snow Geese on their migration route south. These medium-sized geese have white bodies with black wingtips that are barely visible on the ground, but easily seen in flight. Snow Geese nest in the Arctic and spend the winter in the southern USA and northern Mexico. Snow Goose hunting was stopped in 1916 because of their low population level, but their numbers have increased significantly and they are now among the most abundant waterfowl on the continent and hunting of them is once again allowed.We had several choices for our route home and finally decided to head south from Regina and travel through the USA via Chicago, the

shortest distance. This, it turned out, was a very good choice as the Trans-Canada Highway washed out at Wawa about a day before we would have arrived there and would have had us stuck there for several days if we had opted for the Canadian route.As we headed south and made our way through North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, we struggled to keep ahead of a storm approaching from the west and the arrival of Hurricane Sandy from the south. We lost the race as we crossed the border at Sarnia and drove through heavy rain for a few hours before reaching Port Ryerse late in the evening. Although I will admit that I may have dragged some of the cooler temperatures home from the west with me, I deny all responsibility for Hurricane Sandy!

As fate would have it, Mark sent me an email last week and explained how Hurricane Sandy had left a path of destruction in Cuba. Fortunately Extreme Response has a partnership in Cuba. Mark explained how the contact had sent an email and how help was needed. This is the email Mark received to give you an idea of what the folks in Cuba are faced with,Dear Family and Friends,Greetings from Santiago de Cuba. The city is a disaster but we want to let you know that we are fine. If you’ve seen the international news, you probably know that Santiago de Cuba was hit by Hurricane Sandy Wednesday night/Thursday early morning. Other parts of Cuba has been affected by hurricanes in the past, but this was the one which most affected Santiago de Cuba in the history of those who remember since it entered the country right here in our city. In 1962 there was another major hurricane in Santiago, but all the old timers say that this one was much more severe. Ironically, we have not received much official news since we have no electricity so no TV or radio, but reports on the street are that the winds were around 150 kilometres an hour. We obviously were in our house with all windows closed, but heard horrendous wind, trees crashing, tin roofs flying, etc. from about 12:30 am until almost 4:00 am. We have a solid house and nothing major happened to our home, but when we looked out the window our mango tree, 2 avocado trees, Palm tree, ficus tree, etc. had all fallen. We then went to the street there were huge trees on the street, electrical posts and transformers had fallen, etc. We live on a street with houses made of cement block and good roofs. But, we knew that the devastation on other streets would be much worse. We went into the city and it was a disaster zone with hundreds of people who had lost their roofs, many whose whole house had fallen down, trees blown everywhere, etc. The home where my mother-in-law lived and

now friends of ours live, the whole front part, which is the original living room, had its roof blown off. The back part is newer construction with a kitchen and two rooms and that is still intact. Several churches in the area have lost their roof. Many other friends from the church have lost their roof. Some historic Catholic churches lost their beautiful domes. Schools, banks, stores have windows that have blown off. One whole poorer neighbourhood basically disappeared. Lives have been lost. The list continues. I’m sure you can connect to the internet and see more images. In the midst of the disaster, there is a community spirit of everyone picking up the pieces and moving forward. Yet, the recuperation will be a very long process. Pray for us, the church and the city as a whole during this difficult time. I’ve just sent this to a few people, but please share it with others. Love,TimI know Mark, with his crazy energy, will do whatever it takes to help the folks in Cuba… for that matter, help anyone, anywhere. He and his wife, Kristen, understand the importance of helping others and know when to lend a hand.
