At age 46, Julia Roberts is
still a “Pretty Woman,” just
like the title of the film that
skyrocketed her to super-
star status in 1990. But the
Oscar-winning actress (for
Erin Brockovich) is more
than just a pretty face. She
is proud of her accomplish-
ments as an actor with a
voice for worthy causes. She
is a producer.And more im-
portantly, in her view, she is
a mother of three children
in grade school, and calls
being a mom her most im-
portant role.
Roberts was most recently
on the big screen in August:
Osage County, based on
the Tracy Letts’stage drama,
playing the daughter of the
dysfunctional mother from
hell, played by Meryl Streep.
Roberts’s character must
come to terms with ending
the chain of dysfunction in
her family. Shooting the
movie was marvelous, Rob-
erts said, but the hardest
work she had ever done as
an actress,– she compared it
to childbirth. But it was like
that for the entire cast, and
she praised Streep for being
the hardest worker of all.“It
was a privilege to be part of
the great cast,”she said.
Roberts was gratified with
her Academy Award nomi-
nation for Best Supporting
Actress, saying, “This was
certainly a once in a lifetime
experience and the recogni-
tion from it is an absolutely
thrilling bonus. I simply
could not be more excited
right now.”
There’s another ensem-
ble project that has come
her way, also based on an
award-winning play. Pre-
miering in May, The Nor-
mal Heart has been adapted
into an unflinching HBO
Films presentation that ex-
plores the indifference that
escalated the growing AIDS
epidemic in NewYork City’s
gay community in 1981.
The film stars Mark Ruffalo,
Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch,
Alfred Molina, Jim Parsons
and Roberts, who took on a
small but vital role.
As befits her status as a
perennial A-lister, Roberts
was greeted by scores of jos-
tling photographers when
she showed up at the recent
Television Critics Associa-
tion press tour at the Lang-
J Rulia oberts
Maturing
leading lady,
now 46,

She looked amazing, but
confided that she had to
make a sacrifice for her role
in The Normal Heart. Rob-
erts, who plays Dr. Emma
Brooker, noted,“They made
me put on weight so it
would more fit the role.”At
the HBO press conference,
reporters wanted to know
how she felt about “taking
on an unglamorous role.”
Roberts was amused by the
thought.“It’s funny, when a
girl just looks like a person,
she is unglamorous,” she
said smiling.“Of course, I’m
just saying.”
Despite a lot of interest
in her personal life, it was
more fascinating to hear
about why she signed on to
do the HBO movie.“My re-
lationship with Ryan [Ryan
Murphy, producer-director
of The Normal Heart, also
of Glee and American Hor-
ror Story] provided me with
such an incredible educa-
tion, and this definitely is
another stone on that path
of knowledge that we share
together, because I have
been asked twice before
to play this part, and both
times I turned it down.”
Why did she turn it down
before, only to accept the
role now? Roberts reported
there were“conflicts of time,
but my inability to fully un-
derstand who this character
was. So when Ryan asked
me to play this character,
I said, No. I don’t think he
heard me,so I was like,Well,
maybe. But I don’t think I
can.”
What happened after
that? Roberts said, “Ryan
called me back, and I
thought, well, just let me
ruminate about it a little bit.
And I wound up watching
a documentary on polio,
which I’m too young to re-
member what that experi-
ence was like for the coun-
try (and) the world. And it
unlocked the door to who
this woman is to me, and
where her ferocious, relent-
less pursuit of correctness
comes from, which was the
answer Ryan wanted.”
What came out of that
was the satisfaction of tak-
ing on the role and do-
ing justice to the dedicated
doctor. Roberts said,“It was
just a beautiful experience
to get to play her, and to
get to pay tribute to a per-
son who never let anything
stand between her and the
right thing to do for some-
one else.”
The statement that The
NormalHeartmakestouch-
es Roberts’s heart. She said,
“It’s impossible physically
to turn your back on some-
body, so that’s the real point
of storytelling, to nurture
that idea. And this movie
does it in such a profound
way because it’s about how
humanity failed each other
in that time.”
Roberts has played some
really great and entertaining
roles over the years, from
Mystic Pizza and Steel Mag-
nolias early in her career, to
intense roles in The Pelican
Brief and Michael Collins,
and fun leading ladies in
My Best Friend’s Wedding,
Runaway Bride and Ocean’s
Eleven. She played Tinker
Bell in Hook, and met her
husband while filming The
Mexican. Among her recent
notable films are Charlie
Wilson’s War, Valentine’s
Day, Eat Pray Love, Larry
Crowne and Mirror Mirror,
where she went to town
playing the Evil Queen.
She said she tries to do
roles that have some sub-
stance. “It’s important to
me to participate in things
that make me feel like I’m
a better person and can
participate in my daily life
with slightly more convic-
tion, or more joy, or more

compassion. To be in a part
like this,with more compas-
sion, is a part I’m very safe
and comfortable with,” she
said referring toThe Normal
Heart.
In August: Osage County,
Roberts also played part of
an ensemble – and also had
to accept looking less than
her best, wearing what she
called a “butt pad” to add
girth. She revelled in the
opportunity to have physical
scenes with Meryl Streep.
She has told interviewers
she has never worked as
hard in all her life as when
she filmed that acclaimed
film, especially the famous
fish scene. But unlike The
Normal Heart, Roberts
knew she wanted that role
– playing the eldest sister in
a dysfunctional family – as
soon as she saw the play.
She said she enjoyed play-
ing the eldest sister, given
that she was the youngest of
three growing up with the
Roberts family in Smyrna,
Georgia. Her brother, ac-
tor Eric Roberts, has had
an outstanding film career
in his own right, including
a powerful performance in
the film Star 80.
Her role in the HBO film
is smaller than the one in
August: Osage County, but
these days, Julia Roberts
says she is content with
quality, as opposed to quan-
tify, of screen time.“I know I
worked a very small amount
of time, but it definitely felt
like a privilege.”
Roberts was prominent in
promoting August: Osage
County in advance of the
Academy Awards, photo-
graphed for the cover of the
MarchVanity Fair cover with
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba
and George Clooney and
acknowledged to have sto-
len the shoot.

An Executor/Trust-
ee has a wide
range of obliga-
tions and respon-
sibilities
to fulfill.
When doing your Estate
Planning and choosing an
Executor/Trustee, you have
a number of important con-
siderations to keep in mind.
In a nutshell, the choices
available are: Corporate
Trustee (like a Bank or Trust
Company), a family mem-
ber/friend (or more than
one, named as Co-Trust-
ees), or another willing pro-
fessional you know, such as
your Accountant or Lawyer.
(A Bank, Trust Company,
Accountant and Lawyer are
referred to hereafter simply
as“ProfessionalTrustee”.)
The first thing you should
do, if you are in the process
of making such important
decisions, is to contact an
estate planning lawyer to
discuss the various issues
involved. A good estate
planning lawyer is worth
more than the documents
they create. Your answers
to the questions asked by
your estate planning lawyer,
and your decision making
process triggered by those
questions, documented by a
careful lawyer, will make all
the difference in the world
to your actual written plan.
The planning behind the
documents is what gets you
the results you desire.
The entity you choose to
fill this role will have a big
job to do. If it is a Profes-
sionalTrustee, you will meet
with them to go through
your Estate and sign Com-
pensation Agreements. If
you are choosing a family
member/friend, it is a very
good idea to make them
aware that you have chosen
them and ensure that they
are willing, comfortable and
able to fill that role.
Whether you are choos-
ing an inexperienced family
member/friend or a Profes-
sional Trustee, that person
will be working with your
beneficiaries for a signifi-
cant amount of time (some-
times well over a year) as
they administer your Estate
and deal with your assets. It
is very important that you
consider the myriad of is-
sues when deciding who
your Executor/Trustee will
be,a few of which are as fol-
lows:
- Is the job of looking after
your Estate going to be very
hard on a loved one who
has just lostYOU? This can
be overwhelming to deal
with, coupled with grieving,
even though they may feel
duty bound when you ask
them to take on that role;
- What about compen-
sation? Compensating a
loved one to do this job
is often frowned upon by
other beneficiaries who are
not privy to what the role
involves. They simply sit
back and wait for their in-
heritance to come through.
Considering the level of
responsibility that an Ex-
ecutor/Trustee takes on,
shouldn’t your loved one be
compensated? It is highly
likely that the role of Execu-
tor/Trustee will take away
from the usual way your
loved one makes a living.
I have seen family mem-
bers take on this role, only
to fight with their siblings
over the details, grow weary
of trying to maintain fam-
ily harmony, grow tired of
trying to sustain their own
family life/job while serving
your Estate, yet deny them-
selves compensation. They
eventually grow irritated,
bitter and resentful over
the thankless hours they
have spent accounting and
documenting and gathering
Should I appoint a Professional Executor/Trustee
in my Will, or a close Family Member/Friend?”

your assets, that they end
up losing their sibling (or
other) relationships. Family
harmony is extremely diffi-
cult to maintain without an
objective perspective;
- If you don’t want to bur-
den family members/friends
with this job, or you simply
don’t feel that you have any-
one appropriate to appoint,
and your Estate is of a cer-
tain value to warrant hiring
a Professional Trustee, then
a Professional Trustee is a
very good option for you.
Their experience and objec-
tiveness is of huge value to
Estates. Each Professional
Trustee will have a fee struc-
ture that you should careful-
ly review. Their fees may be
charged monthly, quarterly
or annually based upon the
value and type of the assets
they are managing in aTrust
or Estate.Some Professional
Trustees also charge hourly
fees or flat fees for certain
activities or situations. It is
very important to closely re-
view the Professional Trust-
ee’s fee schedule so that you
understand how and what
fees will be charged to your
Estate. If the assets in your
Estate do not warrant the
level of fees to be charged,
then obviously this is not a
good option for you.
All of the above should
be discussed with your es-
tate planning lawyer as you
embark on the estate plan-
ning process. Their guid-
ance on the above will be
invaluable to your Estate,
and your beneficiaries, who
will ultimately be the ones
left behind and thus dealing
with your choice of Execu-
tor/Trustee.

Source 2: Employer-
sponsored Pension Plans –
in other words, what your
employer provides
* Defined Benefit (DB)
pension plans provide a
specific pension amount
paid to you for your lifetime
after you retire.The amount
of a DB pension benefit is
set according to your age,
length of service, and sal-
ary. It may or may not be
indexed for inflation.
* Defined Contribution
(DC) pension plans are also
known as money purchase
plans and do not guarantee
the amount of your future
benefits. DC retirement in-
come depends on accumu-
lated contributions and the
investment returns earned
by these contributions.
Source 3: Individual
Retirement Plans – in other
words,what you will provide
When you retire, invest-
ments held in your Regis-
tered Retirement Savings
Plan (RRSP) can be convert-
ed to income in three ways:
* A Registered Retirement
Income Fund (RRIF) is like
an RRSP in reverse. Instead
of contributing to it, you
withdraw from it.A RRIF of-
fers the flexibility of a wide
range of investment choices
as well as your choice of the
amount you wish to with-
draw each month (subject to
an annual minimum with-
drawal based on the value
of the investments in your
RRIF and age.)
* An Annuity offers the
simplicity of a guaranteed
lifetime income but can’t be
increased to keep up with
inflation or escalating living
costs.
Cash – convert invest-
ments in your RRSP to cash
and you will be subject to
tax on the entire amount.
Not the most attractive op-
tion in most cases.

F Y I L A U G H L I N E S
When they say
“You can’t go
home again,”
I always think
they’re talking
about Chernobyl.
I can certainly return to
the place of my childhood
and did just that for the first-
ever Dain City Reunion.
From the age of two until I
took off for university,I lived
in quirky little hamlet half-
way between a drive-in the-
atre and the Welland Canal.
Lost in the middle of John
Deere, Mud Lake, Ramey’s
Bend and Bethel, this place
might as well have been the
midway between the moon
and NewYork City.
The names changed over
the years, Airline Junction
became Welland Junction,
Dain Manufacturing be-
came John Deere, SS No. 4
became Bridgeview School.
One day Sunnyside Dairy
pulled the plug on their
milking machines and put
the horses out to pasture.
One night I went to bed in
a house at 53 Ontario Street
and woke up in the morn-
ing at 53 Forks Road East.
Nothing had moved except
the dog who ran away from
home in protest.
Welland amalgamated
the village in the fifties
and changed the name to
Welland Junction and now
they refer to it as Ward 6 but
memories are too long and
pride too strong – to me,
it will always be known as
Dain City.
I spent all eight years of
my grade school educa-
tion at SS No. 4. There was
no pressure to win because
every school sports team I
played on was greeted with
chants of:“We’re Number 4!
We’re Number 4!”
The commercial centre of
town included Ort’s conve-
nience store and Frank Mih-
alyi’s soda shop/gas station.
WehungoutatMihalyi’s.Sid
Hilton would sit at the end
stool slurping Coke through
a straw he crushed because
it make the drink last longer.
Frank sold cigarettes to kids
for two cents each. Deed’s
Place, a tiny pub and diner,
occupies that property today.
Evans General Store was
also the post office and the
Walmart of its day.
It seemed the Dain City
Hotel, on the canal next to
the railway bridge, had al-
ways been there. Once a
stagecoach inn, where the
horses were bedded in the
basement, the Dain City
House over the years was
a brothel and illegal betting
shop. I delivered the Satur-
day newspaper to both of
the bookies – they were by
far the best tippers. From
public house to a private
residence, “The Dainer” is
now an abandoned build-
ing with a couple of chip
wagons in the parking lot.
Dain City:
blast from the past
Just down my street and
over the tracks was the
Welland Drive-In, the hub
of summer activity. Walking
to the concession stand in
the dark,you had to be care-
ful not to trip over a speaker
chord or a brassiere. Kids
today have sex-education
classes. Malcolm Hilton and
me, we had binoculars and
the Welland Drive-In.
Towering 70 metres over
the Welland Canal, the lift
bridges were our midway
rides; the last kid to let go
and plunge into the blue
water below as the bridge
rose slowly skyward, won.
The last kid still holding on
for dear life, but chickened
out of jumping, had to stay
up there until the boat went
under and the bridge came
down. He lost.
I went fishing with Jimmy
Creighton at John’s Lake,
which was really just a big
pond. I brought fishing
tackle; he brought dyna-
mite. Suddenly, there was
an explosion and a lot of fish
swimming upside down,
but nothing for me to catch.
I went duck hunting only
once, with Allan Creighton
at nearby Mud Lake. I shot
him in the leg.We were both
quite surprised.To this day, I
thankAllan – for not return-
ing fire.That could have got-
ten ugly in a hurry.
I smoked my first cigarette
with Malcolm Hilton out in
the bush near the construc-
tion site of Dain City’s new
subdivision. I coughed and
spit my way through a long,
unfiltered Viceroy cigarette
Malcolm had nicked from
his older brother. On my
way home, I vomited green
bile on my desert boots.
That was my last cigarette.
Among all those little
settlements that sprung up
in the first half of the 1900s,
DainCityhaswonthewarof
attrition.I was a bat boy on a
Dain City softball team that
played against Perry Sta-
tion, White Pigeon, Cooks
Mills and Netherby. None of
those villages exist today.
I’m amazed at the num-
ber of kids who never left,
stayed to raise their own
kids in this quiet, safe set-
ting. Occasionally, I take a
slow drive through the vil-
lage. Little has changed.The
school is now an apartment
building and two of three
stores are still operating.
Then Allan Creighton spots
me and starts running like
hell toward Buffalo, NY.
Dain City – a tough but
vibrant village that survived
the test and ravages of time.
The reunion was long over-
due.

The path to vitality
- Ruth V., Ontario
After having 5 children,
I had a very hard
time losing the extra
pounds. At 55, I found myself
constantly dressing to disguise
my belly, staying away from
tight clothes.
I read about Chili Burn in a
magazine and decided to give
it a try. I had nothing to lose.
After 6 months of taking Chili
Burn, I lost 30 pounds and
after 12 months I reached my
ideal weight, losing 38 pounds
in total. I am very happy with
the results of this product and
now recommend it to friends
and family.
I get a kick out of the fact that
I can be a grandma and still
fit into my wedding dress!
I achieved all this by eating
three healthy meals a day,
drinking lots of water and
taking Chili Burn twice a day.
While exercise is important,
Chili Burn proves that what
you put into your mouth is
just as important.
This product will suit anyone
who would like to lose weight
with natural ingredients and
be side effect free. I highly
recommend it.”
Ruth has gone from a size 12 to a size
6 and feels great! She actually got back
into her wedding dress of 37 years ago,
after taking Chili Burn!

ALCS is actively look-
ing to recruit new board
members to be elected at
their AGM in April 2014.
Would you like to take up
the challenge? As you
will see from my story,
there will never be a dull
moment if you do!
Five years ago I became
a joiner. I had just moved
to Summerland and felt
a need for social con-
tacts. I set about locat-
ing groups where I might
feel at home. I joined the
Seniors Drop-in Centre,
the Camera Club, a writ-
ers’group and Agur Lake
Camp Society. Polio at
fifteen had landed me in
a life-long adventure of
pushing back my limita-
tions. Agur Lake Camp
back then was planning
a facility in the wilderness
where people with dis-
abilities could camp like
they had never camped
before.At that point I was
abitdisappointedtolearn
that it was just a plan,
not a reality. I attended
events on site and imag-
ined what it might be like
to be a camper there. I
had barely made myself
known to Board mem-
bers when I was asked to
be on their Board of Di-
rectors. They wanted me
to work on a dream with
them and to help them
make it happen.
I had some useful skills
and experience. I was a
photographer and a writ-
er. I also had experience
with managing websites.
And I had lived my life
with a disability, so I saw
things from a unique per-
spective. All those skills
were put to work imme-
Never a dull moment

I
remember a few years ago, when
my doctor first told me to watch
my blood sugar levels. Every year
since then, my problem only got
worse.”
I GOT SCARED…
“It was not until my recent medical
exam, that my doctor suggested to put
me on treatment for high blood sugar
levels. I got scared, because this now
had become serious. I became motivat-
ed to find a way to work it out on my
own. I had read about a product called
Zuccarin™, which contained mulberry
leaf extract and chrome. Apparently
this product could help my blood
sugar levels, so I went to my pharmacy
and bought a box.”
IT WORKED RIGHT AWAY!
“The next day I started taking one
tablet before main meals. Quickly, I
noticed a good decrease in my blood
sugar reading. I was thrilled! Now, it’s
been 3 months and my levels seem sta-
ble and more under control. I cannot
believe it and I keep telling everyone
with the same problem as me, how
Zuccarin helped me.”

diately, and as that was
happening I noticed that
dozens of people with
other skills were there
making their contribu-
tions also. I found myself
caught up in an ongoing
series of meetings,events,
work-parties and plain
old-fashioned socializing.
I am turning 80 this
year and am finding it
increasingly hard to keep
up the pace of my first fif-
teen years of retirement.
I would love to continue
the ALCS activities that
have become so much of
my life, but I no longer
have the energy do it. So
I have made a decision
to resign from the Board,
comforted by the knowl-
edge that someone out
there will replace me and
get to enjoy the sense of
accomplishment that
working for ALCS has
brought me.
ALCS welcomed its
first campers last sum-
mer. In this transition
from a plan to a reality
many volunteers are still
needed, including people
with totally new skills and

By Ellen Ashton-Haiste
The existence of a strong
and positive relationship
between diet and health,
particularly at mid-life and
beyond, is far from a new
idea. Information abounds
about nutrition for heart
health, controlling diabetes
or warding off diseases like
cancer.
But for many people, this
stops short of aging brain
issues, including cognitive
decline and more frighten-
ing conditions likeAlzheim-
er’s and other dementias.
In fact, there are many
foods that can keep our
brains healthy as we age,
says Leslie Beck, registered
dietitian and author of more
than a dozen books on nu-
trition.
“For many of the risk fac-
tors for cognitive decline,
nutrition and diet play an
important role in either
preventing them or reduc-
ing their effects,”says Beck,
who has joined forces with
the Women’s Brain Health
Initiative to educate Cana-
dians about the relationship
between a healthy diet and
a healthy brain.
Go Mediterranean
For a broad-based diet
strategy that’s heart protec-
tive, Beck recommends the
Mediterranean diet.
“It’s what we, today, call
the gold-standard diet,”she
says.“It’s been the focus of
many large, long-perspec-
tive studies that have linked
it to protection from a num-
ber of chronic diseases, in-
cluding Alzheimer’s.”
It’s a plant-based diet,rich
in fruits, vegetables, whole
grains and legumes, light on
red meat, with the central
fat being olive oil. So, it’s a
diet high in anti-oxidants,
important because the brain
is particularly vulnerable to
oxidative stress.Since it uses
vast amounts of oxygen, it’s
a primary breeding ground
for free radicals, which are
controlled by anti-oxidants,
Beck explains.
Food from the sea
Fish,also a Mediterranean
diet staple, is important as
a source of Omega 3 fatty
acids, particularly DHA, es-
sential for good brain func-
tion, Beck says.
ThisOmega3comprisesa
large proportion of the brain
cells’ communicating mem-
branes. “If you have more
Omega 3 fats in your brain
cell membranes, it keeps
them flexible so memory
messages get passed more
easily between them,” she
says.
Beck recommends oily
fish like salmon, trout and
sardines.
DHA is also anti-inflam-
matory, important because
inflammation is another
risk factor for cognitive de-
cline, she says. Vegetarians
and non-fish-lovers can get
DHA in a supplement made
from algae,“which is where
fish make their DHA from.”
Green, green
Leafy greens – spinach,
kale, Swiss chard, rapini,
arugula – high in anti-oxi-
dants, are another key brain
food.
Beck cites a large Chicago
study that followed older
adults and linked those who
ate more than two vegetable
servings a day with a 40-per-
cent-slower rate of age-re-
lated cognitive decline.“And
when they looked at which
veggies seemed to offer the
most protection, it was leafy
greens.”
E Factor
If those greens are sau-
teed in a vegetable oil,
there may be extra protec-
tion, Beck says. Some oils
– particularly sunflower, saf-
flower or grape seed – are
great sources of vitamin E,
a potent anti-oxidant, she
explains.
Other good sources in-
clude hazelnuts, peanuts
and peanut butter.
Berry healthy
Berries – blackberries,
blueberries, raspberries,
cranberries, cherries, even
pomegranate seeds and red
grapes – get an A-grade as
well. They are high in poly-
phenols,another category of
anti-oxidants that fall under
the umbrella of flavanoids.
Polyphenols, Beck says,
activate the brain’s “natural
house-cleaning process” by
triggering cells called mi-
croglia, that remove toxins
that build up with age. “If
we allow them to build up,
these microglia aren’t doing
their job properly and that
can impair brain function.”
B for brain
B vitamins – particularly
folate, B6 and B12 – are im-
portant to good brain func-
tion, Beck says.“There have
been a number of studies
showing that low blood lev-
els of those B vitamins is a
greater risk for cognitive im-
pairment and also stroke.”
And in seniors, a low B12
level has been shown to ac-
celerate cognitive decline.
B6 is found in meat, poul-
try, bananas avocados and
B12 occurs naturally only
in animal foods, like meat,
poultry, fish, dairy and eggs.
Best sources of folate
include cooked spinach,
cooked lentils, black beans,
asparagus, broccoli, avocado
and artichoke.
Supplements are an ac-
ceptable source for these
vitamins, she adds.

To say that
Joseph Bermel Jr.
– also known
as The Putting
Doctor – is
passionate about
golf would be
like saying Tiger
Woods knows his
way around the
links.
Bermel, of Long Island,
N.Y. also knows a thing or
two about marketing, hav-
ing launched his own DVD,
How To Putt Well, and even
a practice putting cup bear-
ing his name and logo. But
while this golf instructor
and travelling golf show en-
tertainer can talk the talk,
he can also walk the walk
when it comes to putting.
One of 15 children, Ber-
mel started caddying while
in Grade 8, and starting
playing while attending the
University of Dayton, Ohio.
He’s been a golf instructor
since 1981, and confirmed
his status as an elite putting
instructor with his runner-
up finish, following a play-
off, in the New York State
Finals of the World Putting
Championship at Elmira,
NY in 1996.
Travelling throughout
the northeast U.S. and into
Canada with his road show,
Bermel said putting is re-
ally about the six inches be-
tween the ears.
“The number-one key to
putting is organization of
your mind. If your mind is
not organized, goodbye!”
said Bermel. “Organization
is everything.Your mind tells
your body what to do.”
Bermel, a creature of habit
who said he has owned only
three putters over the last
42 years, is a proponent of
what he calls PPR: the pre-
putt routine. “If you don’t
have a specific, methodical
PPR, good-bye!” said Ber-
mel. His three key principles
are: exacting, specific and
methodical.
Part of that prepara-
tion, according to Bermel,
involves asking yourself,
“What am I going to do?
How am I going to do it?
When am I going to do it?
And in what manner am I
going to putt? Now, we are
getting deep into the mind
game, and I teach a mind
game.
“How important is put-
ting to the game of golf?
It’s 43 per cent of the total
score,” said Bermel. And
psychologically, he says, it is
more like 50 per cent of the
game, or more.“Putting af-
fects your total game. If you
make a very good one-putt
or terrific two-putt, on any
given hole, you’re walking
to the next tee box with a
very positive mindset. The
same is true in the reverse. If
you have – God forbid – the
dreaded three-putt, you’re
walking negative onto the
next tee box.”

Which diet is best
for you? Here are
some options, as I
see them.
Moderation, a diet con-
sisting of eating whatever
one wants but in reason-
able portions, is considered
stupid and boring. It as-
sumes that we would actu-
ally agree to eat a large piece
of salmon and a small piece
of chocolate, or a large por-
tion of vegetables and only
a bite or two of chili cheese
nachos with guacamole and
extra sour cream.The public
has not only soundly reject-
ed this diet, but the gover-
nor of South Carolina, Nikki
Haley, is now in favour of a
bill to allow citizens to not
only be allowed to carry
their handguns in bars, but
to use their weapons to
soundly beat anyone seen
eating a balanced diet in a
South Carolina restaurant.
This leaves us in a quan-
dary, even greater than that
posed by having to choose
between pepperoni or Ital-
ian sausage on our deep-
dish pizzas. Namely, what
kinddietdowefollow,when
we are not otherwise occu-
pied on Facebook or playing
Words With Friends? The
following are some popular
diets that North Americans
follow:
The Halloween Candy
diet:While mostAmericans
would be hard-pressed to
assert that a diet of Hallow-
een candy would put one
on the fast track to opti-
mal health, the truth is that
many people are on this diet
for at least part of the year.
Aside from the plethora of
choices rolled out on su-
permarket shelves in an-
ticipation of the holiday, the
candy itself is usually touted
as “fun size” or “mini size.”
These images are far more
appealing than“jumbo size,”
or even“gastric bypass size.”
They allow us to consume
vast quantities of sugar and
chocolate in teeny tiny bite-
size portions.
Many Americans have
discovered the Paleo diet,
named after Bud Paleo, a
prehistoric entrepreneur
who started a chain of fast-
food mammoth-burger res-
taurants back when all food
was not only pure, but a lot
of it could run really fast and
then kill you.The Paleo Diet
includes grass-produced
meats, fish and seafood,
fruits and veggies,eggs,nuts
and seeds, and healthy oils.
None of these items will run
fast and then kill you, espe-
cially the nuts and seeds.
Another popular diet that
doesn’t force anyone to be
moderate is the Gluten-
Free diet. Most North
Americans have now found
themselves to be gluten-
intolerant,even though they
have no knowledge of what
gluten is, other than a vague
belief that it has something
to do with glue. For this
reason, following a gluten
diet consists not of avoiding
certain foods, but instead,
of simply buying anything
that shouts “gluten free!”
Because of this, manufac-
turers of clothing and hair
products now carry gluten-
free labels.
The governor of South
Carolina has been quoted as
saying,“South Carolina has
a long, proud history of in-
tolerance. We are excited at
the prospect of adding glu-
cose, whatever the hell that
is, to the list of things we are
intolerant of.”
Other North Americans
have been following the
Subway diet (the popu-
lar sandwich chain, not the
underground rail system),
inspired by an ordinary man
named Jared Fogle, who lost
a huge amount of weight by
only eating Subway sand-
wiches. Subway devotees
have just now been shocked
lately to learn that Subway,
which touts their fresh-
baked bread, uses azodicar-
bonamide in their bread, a
chemical also used in yoga
mats. Jared, himself, has
not been available for com-
ment, as he is currently be-
ing studied by scientists to
determine the reason he is
now glowing in the dark.
The Kosher dietisn’tfol-
lowed by anyone who wants
to lose weight or avoid carbs,
fat, gluten or peanuts. It
does, however, discriminate
against pork products and
against mixing dairy and
meat together. To make up
for this, it encourages diners
to eat until they develop se-
rious gastric distress, for fear
of insulting the person who
prepared the food.
Other diets are either
Low Carb (another sub-
stance that no one actu-
ally understands but simply
buys products that say“low
carb!”) or Low Fat or Fat-
Free or Sugar-Free or Pea-
nut/Soy/Dairy/Additive/
Conflict Diamond Free.
They all have their merits,
when combined with ob-
scene amounts of exercise.
In sum, we don’t care
which diet you follow,as long
as you are careful when trav-
elling through the state of
South Carolina to not reveal
that you know where Life in
the Boomer Lane lives.
Let’s agree
to never say…diet

Showcase of RETIREMENT LIVINGp.18 foreveryoung | March 2014
By Igor Lobanov-Rostovsky
It’s one of the world’s
longest-established walking
trips, drawing both the de-
vout and those dedicated to
a holiday that can be a mov-
ing retreat.
For 10 centuries, those on
the spiritual path have trod
a holy route known as the
Way of St. James, a pilgrim-
age that can commence at
any of four starting points in
southern France or northern
Spain. Most pilgrims still
travel on foot or ride a bi-
cycle. A few choose the me-
dieval way, on horseback.
Many will walk for weeks,
even months, on what is
now designated a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. The
route from Le Puy in south
central France to Santiago
can take 2 1/2 months. The
distance from the Span-
ish village of Roncesvalles,
north of Pamplona near the
French border,to Santiago is
800 kilometres.
Some trekkers meet the
minimum requirements by
setting out from the village
of Sarria, which has bus and
rail service from other parts
of Spain.
Regardless of the distance
and starting point, they’re
all heading for the town of
Santiago de Compostela in
Spain’s northwest region of
Galicia. Its revered cathe-
dral claims to contain the
remains of St. James the
Apostle. Pilgrims are easy to
spot. They wear the Chris-
tian symbol for St. James: a
scallop shell.
If you’re travelling by foot
or bike, your most essential
gear is a backpack. When
loaded, it should not weigh
more than 10 per cent of
your own weight. Avoid the
temptation to take items
“just in case” because you
can buy whatever you forget
at markets and shops along
the way. A water bottle and
first-aid kit are musts, plus a
small towel, soap, and clips
to hang up laundry to dry.
You’ll need a sleeping bag
and mat if you’re not stop-
ping at inns on the route.
Well-broken-in water-
resistant mountain boots
a half size larger than your
normal shoe are your best
footwear. Always wear dry
cotton socks to avoid blisters.
PuttingVaseline on your feet
before donning the socks will
help keep blisters at bay.Take
a pair of flip-flops to give
your feet a rest at days’end.
If you choose to bike the
route, you will have to pedal
on local roads in some spots.
A mountain bike is best.Take
a helmet, waterproof gloves
and basic repair kit.You’ll be
riding with loaded saddle-
bags so practise riding this
way before you leave home.
Accommodations in the
towns and villages along
the way include rural lodg-
ings, hotels, parador hotels
(former castles, monaster-
ies, and other historic build-
ings), guest houses, camp-
sites and the traditional
pilgrims hostels.
These last, also called
refugios or albergues (in
France: gites d’etape) pro-
vide dormitory sleeping
accommodations and are
either free or require a small
donation to cover the cost of
cleaning and maintenance.
Privately owned hostels cost
a bit more. During summer
months, and other times
when the regular places are
full, sports centres, churches
and other places will ac-
commodate pilgrims.
Hostel accommodations
are on a first-come, first-
served basis until 8 p.m. Pil-
grims on foot are given first
priority, followed by those
on horseback and then cy-
clists. Except in the case of
illness, travellers are limited
to one night in each hostel.
They open at noon and no
noise is permitted after 9 or
10 p.m.Breakfast is included
and departure in the morn-
ing is by 8 or 9 a.m.
The average daily distance
for walkers is 20 to 30 kilo-
metres. For bicyclists, its 60
to 70 kilometres. One’s age,
physical condition or other
factors dictate the pace of
travel. Some pilgrims use a
support car.
Signs that point the way
may be almost anywhere:
on walls, the ground, trees,
stones, and posts. If you’re
uncertain, ask someone
nearby and you likely will be
pointed in the right direction.
Spring to autumn is the
best time to make the trek,
with July and August the
hottest and most crowded
months. Wear comfortable
clothing, with a sweater
for cool nights and a hat
and sunscreen for the days.
Drink lots of water during
the day, filling your water
bottle from the many drink-
ing fountains along the way.
Have a hearty breakfast.
For lunch and dinner, there
are restaurants, cafes and
other establishments where
you can sample local dishes.
Often, they have a“Pilgrims’
Menu”at a very reasonable
price.
You’ll need to show your
“Pilgrim’s Passport,” a cre-
dential issued by the first
hostel you stop at, or at the
associations of Friends of the
Way (Amigos del Camino)
before you set out. Then
you have it stamped in each
town where you stay over-
night. As a certificate of ac-
complishment,it entitles you
to the“Compostela”given to
pilgrims who have complet-
ed at least the last 100 kilo-
metres to Santiago on foot or
by horseback, or the last 200
kilometres by bike.
To obtain a Pilgrim’s Pass-
port before leaving home,
look for Canadian Company
of Pilgrims at www.camino.
ca/. To view their newslet-
ter, e-mail Austin Cooke at
Austin@santiago.ca.

postela, visit Leslie Gilm-

Pilgrims’ Pathway
For 10 centuries, pilgrims have followed the footsteps of St. James
Pilgrims on the Way of St. James near
Saint-Martin-des-Champs.

RV OWNERS
For those
contemplating an
RV for your next
snowbird flight,
here’s a primer
by Janet Groene
If you are a snowbird con-
templating a trip south in an
RV, you don’t have to worry
about sleeping an entire
Girl Guide troop nor worry
about a snow load on the
rooftop.The recreation vehi-
cle you choose for a Sunbelt
trip must provide comforts
only for yourself and your
partner(s) on the road and
in the kinds of RV resorts
you enjoy. The first decision
is whether this is an RV you
will drive or tow.
Motorhomes come in
Class A (bus style), B (van
conversion) and C (built on
a light truck chassis). It is
one vehicle to fuel, insure
and jockey about the high-
way.You might tow a small
car behind the motorhome
or go light and lean by car-
rying bicycles or a motor-
ized scooter on board.
With a travel trailer you
have the hassle and extra
costs of towing but once
you leave the trailer in a
campground you have an
agile vehicle for errands and
sightseeing. Choices range
from featherweight pop-up
campers to rolling homes
with a couple of bedrooms.
Travel trailers also come in
“toy hauler”models that are
part living quarters, part ga-
rage for toys such as anATV,
wave runner or boat. Lastly
are a fifth-wheel trailer or a
pickup camper. Both make
use of the pickup truck you
use at home.
It all begins with choosing
the right vehicle for trav-
elling at highway speeds.
Look at the number of axles,
the suspension, the depar-
ture angle, power assists,
miles per litre, ease of park-
ing, total payload and much
more. Next, look at how ac-
commodations will work for
you and your partner start-
ing with sleeping arrange-
ments. There is no reason
to haul around extra bunks
nor, if you prefer showers, a
bath tub.
NEW VERSUS
USED RV’S
New is best because: it’s
easier to finance and insure,
it’s available with all the co-
lours and options you want,
it’s clean inside and out, and
it probably has a better war-
ranty than you could get on
any used RV. Everything is
new, from the light bulbs
and tires to the DVD player
in the cockpit.
Used is best because: it’s
already taken that first, big
depreciation hit. The pre-
vious owner has probably
worked out the worst of
the bugs and will probably
throw in plenty of extras.
BUyER PITFALLS
By now you’ve probably
owned enough cars, com-
puters and other machines
to know that complexity
breeds breakdowns. Rule
One in choosing an RV is
the same KISS (Keep It Sim-
ple, Stupid) maxim most of
us live by. The more conve-
niences you have, the more
conveniences there are that
can break down.Even when
covered by warranty, fail-
ures mean another trip to a
dealer, another night in the
shop, another phone call to
a supplier and endless per-
sonal confrontations just to
get the RV working the way
it was meant to work.
The less able you are to
deal with electrical, hydrau-
lic and mechanical problems
yourself, the more impor-
tant it is to avoid complex
systems. Do you really need
a pushbutton entry step, ra-
dio-operated door locks, an
electrically operated awning
and a heated,cooled driver’s
seat that adjusts to 15 dif-
ferent positions by using a
joystick?
ADDITIoNAL
BUyING TIPS
• When a big investment
is on the line it pays to have
an attorney go over the fi-
nancing agreement and the
warranty.
• Whether the RV is new
or used, insist on getting
all the written warranties,
operator manuals and in-
struction books that go with
every system including the
flush toilet and individual
appliances such as the mi-
crowave, stove and refriger-
ator. Many things in an RV
don’t work like their house-
hold cousins and, if you
don’t operate them right
in the first place, you could
void a warranty. It’s also
handy to get instructions for
care of flooring, counter-top
materials, upholstery and
other materials.
• If you’ll be buying the
RV at an RV or travel show,
attend the first time just to
look and listen. By the last
day of the show dealers are
more willing to cut a deal
rather than haul the RV
back to their sales lot.
With an RV you have the
pleasure of both being there
and getting there in your
own home without packing
and unpacking. If an RV is
in your future, plan on at-
tending the 17th Annual RV
Owners Lifestyle Seminar
at Okanagan College this
June.

Kelowna
The 1942 raid
on Dieppe by
the Allied Forces
was, as Mark
Zuehlke’s Tragedy
at Dieppe tells us
in no uncertain
terms, the worst
military disaster
for Canadians in
World War II.
About 68% of the 5,000
Canadian soldiers involved
in the nine-hour raid
would become casualties,
and the majority who were
unscathed never made it
ashore.
The Dieppe raid, code-
name Operation Jubilee,
has been controversial since
the moment news of its out-
come reached the world.
How could it have gone so
terribly wrong, and who
was at fault? In Tragedy at
Dieppe, Zuehlke tackles
these questions through
the personal accounts of
soldiers, sailors and air-
men. These anecdotes form
a narrative of the planning
and execution of the raid
that is brimming with per-
sonal insights from every-
one involved, from the de-
cision-makers to common
soldiers who wouldn’t even
learn the raid was happen-
ing until a few hours before
it began.
Through Zuehlke’s highly
detailed descriptions of the
politics around the raid, the
plans that were adopted
and then abandoned and
adopted again, growing and
becoming more complex
and unmanageable, and the
grand fiasco of the training
exercise codenamed Yukon
that preceded it, make it
sound almost impossible
that the Dieppe raid got off
the ground in the ifrst place.
As he leads us through the
experiences of the soldiers
during the raid itself, we
watch heartbroken as one
batalion and then another
sopes with the reality of the
ill-fated operation.
However, as Zuehlke says
in his epilogue,“Honouring
the sacrifice of those who
fought ar Dieppe requires
no justification for the raid.”
Tragedy at Dieppe, now
available in trade paperback
for the first time, stands as
a tribute to the brave men
B OO K R E V I E W
Tragedy at
Dieppe
By Mark Zuehlke
who met disaster on the
beaches of France on Au-
gust 19, 1942.
MARK ZUEHLKE was
nominated for Canada’s pre-
miere history prize, the 2013
Governor General’s His-
tory Award for Excellence in
Popular Media: The Pierre
Berton Award. Widely hailed
as Canada’s leading popular
military historian,he is author
of more than twenty books, in-
cluding the popular Elias Mc-
Cann mystery series. Zuehlke
lives inVictoria.
“His is a truly moving pre-
sentation, with quotations
and facts that make this piece
of history something to read
through your tears.”
- Winnipeg Free Press
“A painstaking reconstruc-
tion of a military project that
was doomed from the start.”

each evening.Chef Ollie,al-
though English, is as French
with his cuisine as possible.
Each was a true repast with
tremendous, innovative
menus.
The Captain’s dinner was
superb. It included white
Chablis and red Infant Jesus
as the wines, to go with fois
gras with fried bread and
port reduction, cured salm-
on with capers and cornich-
ons, a splendid trio of lamb
(slowly cooked shoulder,
roasted rack and fillet), with
dauphinoise potatoes. No
meal went without a fine
cheese tray – St. Maure
de Touraine, Epoisses and
Roquefort – ending with
an amazing creme brulée.
Since many of the cheeses
aren’t pasteurized it’s dif-
ficult to find them in North
America.
One night we dined out
at an acclaimed restaurant
in Les Bezards and at the
end I concluded that Chef
Ollie’s reputation was safe.
And the accommoda-
tions? What a surprise
when we saw our suite.
There are only four suites,
all similar. They compare
well with many of Paris’five-
star, small hotels.
Another opportunity for
activities was wine-tasting.
I can’t recall a trip that had
something for everyone
from the finest wine, chees-
es, meals to the supreme
comfort level. No wonder
many guests return.
Prices for a six-night
cruise aboard the eight-
passenger hotel barge Re-
naissance are from $6,350
per person in a twin/double
ensuite cabin, including all
meals, wines, an open bar,
excursions and local trans-
fers.Visit gobarging.com.
Other notable French ca-
nal barge trips are available.

more information.

Where Will You Be This Summer? Check out our website to find us at a Home Show near you! Sliding Glass Walls Residential & Condo Balcony NEW! At age 46, Julia Roberts is still a “Pretty Woman,” just like the title of the film that skyrocketed her to super- star status in 1990. But the Oscar-winning actress (for Erin Brockovich) is more than just a pretty face. She is proud of her accomplish- ments as an actor with a voice for worthy causes. She is a producer.And more im- portantly, in her view, she is a mother of three children in grade school, and calls being a mom her most im- portant role. Roberts was most recently on the big screen in August: Osage County, based on the Tracy Letts’stage drama, playing the daughter of the dysfunctional mother from hell, played by Meryl Streep. Roberts’s character must come to terms with ending the chain of dysfunction in her family. Shooting the movie was marvelous, Rob- erts said, but the hardest work she had ever done as an actress,– she compared it to childbirth. But it was like that for the entire cast, and she praised Streep for being the hardest worker of all.“It was a privilege to be part of the great cast,”she said. Roberts was gratified with her Academy Award nomi- nation for Best Supporting Actress, saying, “This was certainly a once in a lifetime experience and the recogni- tion from it is an absolutely thrilling bonus. I simply could not be more excited right now.” There’s another ensem- ble project that has come her way, also based on an award-winning play. Pre- miering in May, The Nor- mal Heart has been adapted into an unflinching HBO Films presentation that ex- plores the indifference that escalated the growing AIDS epidemic in NewYork City’s gay community in 1981. The film stars Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch, Alfred Molina, Jim Parsons and Roberts, who took on a small but vital role. As befits her status as a perennial A-lister, Roberts was greeted by scores of jos- tling photographers when she showed up at the recent Television Critics Associa- tion press tour at the Lang- J Rulia oberts Maturing leading lady, now 46, appreciates opportunity to play parts in ensembles By Frank Barron Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts attend the 19th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards presented by Porsche at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014.

She looked amazing, but confided that she had to make a sacrifice for her role in The Normal Heart. Rob- erts, who plays Dr. Emma Brooker, noted,“They made me put on weight so it would more fit the role.”At the HBO press conference, reporters wanted to know how she felt about “taking on an unglamorous role.” Roberts was amused by the thought.“It’s funny, when a girl just looks like a person, she is unglamorous,” she said smiling.“Of course, I’m just saying.” Despite a lot of interest in her personal life, it was more fascinating to hear about why she signed on to do the HBO movie.“My re- lationship with Ryan [Ryan Murphy, producer-director of The Normal Heart, also of Glee and American Hor- ror Story] provided me with such an incredible educa- tion, and this definitely is another stone on that path of knowledge that we share together, because I have been asked twice before to play this part, and both times I turned it down.” Why did she turn it down before, only to accept the role now? Roberts reported there were“conflicts of time, but my inability to fully un- derstand who this character was. So when Ryan asked me to play this character, I said, No. I don’t think he heard me,so I was like,Well, maybe. But I don’t think I can.” What happened after that? Roberts said, “Ryan called me back, and I thought, well, just let me ruminate about it a little bit. And I wound up watching a documentary on polio, which I’m too young to re- member what that experi- ence was like for the coun- try (and) the world. And it unlocked the door to who this woman is to me, and where her ferocious, relent- less pursuit of correctness comes from, which was the answer Ryan wanted.” What came out of that was the satisfaction of tak- ing on the role and do- ing justice to the dedicated doctor. Roberts said,“It was just a beautiful experience to get to play her, and to get to pay tribute to a per- son who never let anything stand between her and the right thing to do for some- one else.” The statement that The NormalHeartmakestouch- es Roberts’s heart. She said, “It’s impossible physically to turn your back on some- body, so that’s the real point of storytelling, to nurture that idea. And this movie does it in such a profound way because it’s about how humanity failed each other in that time.” Roberts has played some really great and entertaining roles over the years, from Mystic Pizza and Steel Mag- nolias early in her career, to intense roles in The Pelican Brief and Michael Collins, and fun leading ladies in My Best Friend’s Wedding, Runaway Bride and Ocean’s Eleven. She played Tinker Bell in Hook, and met her husband while filming The Mexican. Among her recent notable films are Charlie Wilson’s War, Valentine’s Day, Eat Pray Love, Larry Crowne and Mirror Mirror, where she went to town playing the Evil Queen. She said she tries to do roles that have some sub- stance. “It’s important to me to participate in things that make me feel like I’m a better person and can participate in my daily life with slightly more convic- tion, or more joy, or more Julia Roberts …from page 3 Julia Roberts earned a Best Actress Academy Award in 2000.

To be in a part like this,with more compas- sion, is a part I’m very safe and comfortable with,” she said referring toThe Normal Heart. In August: Osage County, Roberts also played part of an ensemble – and also had to accept looking less than her best, wearing what she called a “butt pad” to add girth. She revelled in the opportunity to have physical scenes with Meryl Streep. She has told interviewers she has never worked as hard in all her life as when she filmed that acclaimed film, especially the famous fish scene. But unlike The Normal Heart, Roberts knew she wanted that role – playing the eldest sister in a dysfunctional family – as soon as she saw the play. She said she enjoyed play- ing the eldest sister, given that she was the youngest of three growing up with the Roberts family in Smyrna, Georgia. Her brother, ac- tor Eric Roberts, has had an outstanding film career in his own right, including a powerful performance in the film Star 80. Her role in the HBO film is smaller than the one in August: Osage County, but these days, Julia Roberts says she is content with quality, as opposed to quan- tify, of screen time.“I know I worked a very small amount of time, but it definitely felt like a privilege.” Roberts was prominent in promoting August: Osage County in advance of the Academy Awards, photo- graphed for the cover of the MarchVanity Fair cover with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba and George Clooney and acknowledged to have sto- len the shoot.

When doing your Estate Planning and choosing an Executor/Trustee, you have a number of important con- siderations to keep in mind. In a nutshell, the choices available are: Corporate Trustee (like a Bank or Trust Company), a family mem- ber/friend (or more than one, named as Co-Trust- ees), or another willing pro- fessional you know, such as your Accountant or Lawyer. (A Bank, Trust Company, Accountant and Lawyer are referred to hereafter simply as“ProfessionalTrustee”.) The first thing you should do, if you are in the process of making such important decisions, is to contact an estate planning lawyer to discuss the various issues involved. A good estate planning lawyer is worth more than the documents they create. Your answers to the questions asked by your estate planning lawyer, and your decision making process triggered by those questions, documented by a careful lawyer, will make all the difference in the world to your actual written plan. The planning behind the documents is what gets you the results you desire. The entity you choose to fill this role will have a big job to do. If it is a Profes- sionalTrustee, you will meet with them to go through your Estate and sign Com- pensation Agreements. If you are choosing a family member/friend, it is a very good idea to make them aware that you have chosen them and ensure that they are willing, comfortable and able to fill that role. Whether you are choos- ing an inexperienced family member/friend or a Profes- sional Trustee, that person will be working with your beneficiaries for a signifi- cant amount of time (some- times well over a year) as they administer your Estate and deal with your assets. It is very important that you consider the myriad of is- sues when deciding who your Executor/Trustee will be,a few of which are as fol- lows: - Is the job of looking after your Estate going to be very hard on a loved one who has just lostYOU? This can be overwhelming to deal with, coupled with grieving, even though they may feel duty bound when you ask them to take on that role; - What about compen- sation? Compensating a loved one to do this job is often frowned upon by other beneficiaries who are not privy to what the role involves. They simply sit back and wait for their in- heritance to come through. Considering the level of responsibility that an Ex- ecutor/Trustee takes on, shouldn’t your loved one be compensated? It is highly likely that the role of Execu- tor/Trustee will take away from the usual way your loved one makes a living. I have seen family mem- bers take on this role, only to fight with their siblings over the details, grow weary of trying to maintain fam- ily harmony, grow tired of trying to sustain their own family life/job while serving your Estate, yet deny them- selves compensation. They eventually grow irritated, bitter and resentful over the thankless hours they have spent accounting and documenting and gathering Should I appoint a Professional Executor/Trustee in my Will, or a close Family Member/Friend?” Continuedonpage7

Family harmony is extremely diffi- cult to maintain without an objective perspective; - If you don’t want to bur- den family members/friends with this job, or you simply don’t feel that you have any- one appropriate to appoint, and your Estate is of a cer- tain value to warrant hiring a Professional Trustee, then a Professional Trustee is a very good option for you. Their experience and objec- tiveness is of huge value to Estates. Each Professional Trustee will have a fee struc- ture that you should careful- ly review. Their fees may be charged monthly, quarterly or annually based upon the value and type of the assets they are managing in aTrust or Estate.Some Professional Trustees also charge hourly fees or flat fees for certain activities or situations. It is very important to closely re- view the Professional Trust- ee’s fee schedule so that you understand how and what fees will be charged to your Estate. If the assets in your Estate do not warrant the level of fees to be charged, then obviously this is not a good option for you. All of the above should be discussed with your es- tate planning lawyer as you embark on the estate plan- ning process. Their guid- ance on the above will be invaluable to your Estate, and your beneficiaries, who will ultimately be the ones left behind and thus dealing with your choice of Execu- tor/Trustee.

Your monthly retirement income will be an accumulation of benefits and payments from various sources… …and to get the most out of them, while paying the least amount of tax, you need to know what they are. Source 1: Public In- come Programs and Pen- sions – in other words, what the government will pay you in retirement * Old Age Security (OAS) provides a basic monthly pension benefit at age 65. Benefits are taxable, ad- justed for inflation, and ‘clawed back’ in increasing amounts as your individual net income climbs above a threshold amount. Indi- viduals with lower incomes may also qualify for the Guaranteed Income Sup- plement (GIS). * The Canada Pension Plan/Québec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP) pays a monthly pension to people who have been employed and con- tributed to CPP/QPP. Bene- fits are approximately 25 per cent of your average annual earnings during your work- ing life up to certain limits. Benefits are indexed to in- flation, are taxable, and can start at a reduced amount as early as age 60, or as late as age 70 with an increase. Source 2: Employer- sponsored Pension Plans – in other words, what your employer provides * Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans provide a specific pension amount paid to you for your lifetime after you retire.The amount of a DB pension benefit is set according to your age, length of service, and sal- ary. It may or may not be indexed for inflation. * Defined Contribution (DC) pension plans are also known as money purchase plans and do not guarantee the amount of your future benefits. DC retirement in- come depends on accumu- lated contributions and the investment returns earned by these contributions. Source 3: Individual Retirement Plans – in other words,what you will provide When you retire, invest- ments held in your Regis- tered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) can be convert- ed to income in three ways: * A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) is like an RRSP in reverse. Instead of contributing to it, you withdraw from it.A RRIF of- fers the flexibility of a wide range of investment choices as well as your choice of the amount you wish to with- draw each month (subject to an annual minimum with- drawal based on the value of the investments in your RRIF and age.) * An Annuity offers the simplicity of a guaranteed lifetime income but can’t be increased to keep up with inflation or escalating living costs. Cash – convert invest- ments in your RRSP to cash and you will be subject to tax on the entire amount. Not the most attractive op- tion in most cases. – From the Investors Group Continuedfrompage6 Retirement income sources – know them all

William Thomas F Y I L A U G H L I N E S When they say “You can’t go home again,” I always think they’re talking about Chernobyl. I can certainly return to the place of my childhood and did just that for the first- ever Dain City Reunion. From the age of two until I took off for university,I lived in quirky little hamlet half- way between a drive-in the- atre and the Welland Canal. Lost in the middle of John Deere, Mud Lake, Ramey’s Bend and Bethel, this place might as well have been the midway between the moon and NewYork City. The names changed over the years, Airline Junction became Welland Junction, Dain Manufacturing be- came John Deere, SS No. 4 became Bridgeview School. One day Sunnyside Dairy pulled the plug on their milking machines and put the horses out to pasture. One night I went to bed in a house at 53 Ontario Street and woke up in the morn- ing at 53 Forks Road East. Nothing had moved except the dog who ran away from home in protest. Welland amalgamated the village in the fifties and changed the name to Welland Junction and now they refer to it as Ward 6 but memories are too long and pride too strong – to me, it will always be known as Dain City. I spent all eight years of my grade school educa- tion at SS No. 4. There was no pressure to win because every school sports team I played on was greeted with chants of:“We’re Number 4! We’re Number 4!” The commercial centre of town included Ort’s conve- nience store and Frank Mih- alyi’s soda shop/gas station. WehungoutatMihalyi’s.Sid Hilton would sit at the end stool slurping Coke through a straw he crushed because it make the drink last longer. Frank sold cigarettes to kids for two cents each. Deed’s Place, a tiny pub and diner, occupies that property today. Evans General Store was also the post office and the Walmart of its day. It seemed the Dain City Hotel, on the canal next to the railway bridge, had al- ways been there. Once a stagecoach inn, where the horses were bedded in the basement, the Dain City House over the years was a brothel and illegal betting shop. I delivered the Satur- day newspaper to both of the bookies – they were by far the best tippers. From public house to a private residence, “The Dainer” is now an abandoned build- ing with a couple of chip wagons in the parking lot. Dain City: blast from the past Just down my street and over the tracks was the Welland Drive-In, the hub of summer activity. Walking to the concession stand in the dark,you had to be care- ful not to trip over a speaker chord or a brassiere. Kids today have sex-education classes. Malcolm Hilton and me, we had binoculars and the Welland Drive-In. Towering 70 metres over the Welland Canal, the lift bridges were our midway rides; the last kid to let go and plunge into the blue water below as the bridge rose slowly skyward, won. The last kid still holding on for dear life, but chickened out of jumping, had to stay up there until the boat went under and the bridge came down. He lost. I went fishing with Jimmy Creighton at John’s Lake, which was really just a big pond. I brought fishing tackle; he brought dyna- mite. Suddenly, there was an explosion and a lot of fish swimming upside down, but nothing for me to catch. I went duck hunting only once, with Allan Creighton at nearby Mud Lake. I shot him in the leg.We were both quite surprised.To this day, I thankAllan – for not return- ing fire.That could have got- ten ugly in a hurry. I smoked my first cigarette with Malcolm Hilton out in the bush near the construc- tion site of Dain City’s new subdivision. I coughed and spit my way through a long, unfiltered Viceroy cigarette Malcolm had nicked from his older brother. On my way home, I vomited green bile on my desert boots. That was my last cigarette. Among all those little settlements that sprung up in the first half of the 1900s, DainCityhaswonthewarof attrition.I was a bat boy on a Dain City softball team that played against Perry Sta- tion, White Pigeon, Cooks Mills and Netherby. None of those villages exist today. I’m amazed at the num- ber of kids who never left, stayed to raise their own kids in this quiet, safe set- ting. Occasionally, I take a slow drive through the vil- lage. Little has changed.The school is now an apartment building and two of three stores are still operating. Then Allan Creighton spots me and starts running like hell toward Buffalo, NY. Dain City – a tough but vibrant village that survived the test and ravages of time. The reunion was long over- due.

At 55, I found myself constantly dressing to disguise my belly, staying away from tight clothes. I read about Chili Burn in a magazine and decided to give it a try. I had nothing to lose. After 6 months of taking Chili Burn, I lost 30 pounds and after 12 months I reached my ideal weight, losing 38 pounds in total. I am very happy with the results of this product and now recommend it to friends and family. I get a kick out of the fact that I can be a grandma and still fit into my wedding dress! I achieved all this by eating three healthy meals a day, drinking lots of water and taking Chili Burn twice a day. While exercise is important, Chili Burn proves that what you put into your mouth is just as important. This product will suit anyone who would like to lose weight with natural ingredients and be side effect free. I highly recommend it.” Ruth has gone from a size 12 to a size 6 and feels great!

Showcase of RETIREMENT LIVINGp.14 foreveryoung | March 2014 By Ellen Ashton-Haiste The existence of a strong and positive relationship between diet and health, particularly at mid-life and beyond, is far from a new idea. Information abounds about nutrition for heart health, controlling diabetes or warding off diseases like cancer. But for many people, this stops short of aging brain issues, including cognitive decline and more frighten- ing conditions likeAlzheim- er’s and other dementias. In fact, there are many foods that can keep our brains healthy as we age, says Leslie Beck, registered dietitian and author of more than a dozen books on nu- trition. “For many of the risk fac- tors for cognitive decline, nutrition and diet play an important role in either preventing them or reduc- ing their effects,”says Beck, who has joined forces with the Women’s Brain Health Initiative to educate Cana- dians about the relationship between a healthy diet and a healthy brain. Go Mediterranean For a broad-based diet strategy that’s heart protec- tive, Beck recommends the Mediterranean diet. “It’s what we, today, call the gold-standard diet,”she says.“It’s been the focus of many large, long-perspec- tive studies that have linked it to protection from a num- ber of chronic diseases, in- cluding Alzheimer’s.” It’s a plant-based diet,rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, light on red meat, with the central fat being olive oil. So, it’s a diet high in anti-oxidants, important because the brain is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress.Since it uses vast amounts of oxygen, it’s a primary breeding ground for free radicals, which are controlled by anti-oxidants, Beck explains. Food from the sea Fish,also a Mediterranean diet staple, is important as a source of Omega 3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, es- sential for good brain func- tion, Beck says. ThisOmega3comprisesa large proportion of the brain cells’ communicating mem- branes. “If you have more Omega 3 fats in your brain cell membranes, it keeps them flexible so memory messages get passed more easily between them,” she says. Beck recommends oily fish like salmon, trout and sardines. DHA is also anti-inflam- matory, important because inflammation is another risk factor for cognitive de- cline, she says. Vegetarians and non-fish-lovers can get DHA in a supplement made from algae,“which is where fish make their DHA from.” Green, green Leafy greens – spinach, kale, Swiss chard, rapini, arugula – high in anti-oxi- dants, are another key brain food. Beck cites a large Chicago study that followed older adults and linked those who ate more than two vegetable servings a day with a 40-per- cent-slower rate of age-re- lated cognitive decline.“And when they looked at which veggies seemed to offer the most protection, it was leafy greens.” E Factor If those greens are sau- teed in a vegetable oil, there may be extra protec- tion, Beck says. Some oils – particularly sunflower, saf- flower or grape seed – are great sources of vitamin E, a potent anti-oxidant, she explains. Other good sources in- clude hazelnuts, peanuts and peanut butter. Berry healthy Berries – blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, cherries, even pomegranate seeds and red grapes – get an A-grade as well. They are high in poly- phenols,another category of anti-oxidants that fall under the umbrella of flavanoids. Polyphenols, Beck says, activate the brain’s “natural house-cleaning process” by triggering cells called mi- croglia, that remove toxins that build up with age. “If we allow them to build up, these microglia aren’t doing their job properly and that can impair brain function.” B for brain B vitamins – particularly folate, B6 and B12 – are im- portant to good brain func- tion, Beck says.“There have been a number of studies showing that low blood lev- els of those B vitamins is a greater risk for cognitive im- pairment and also stroke.” And in seniors, a low B12 level has been shown to ac- celerate cognitive decline. B6 is found in meat, poul- try, bananas avocados and B12 occurs naturally only in animal foods, like meat, poultry, fish, dairy and eggs. Best sources of folate include cooked spinach, cooked lentils, black beans, asparagus, broccoli, avocado and artichoke. Supplements are an ac- ceptable source for these vitamins, she adds.

Showcase of RETIREMENT LIVING p.15March 2014 | foreveryoung by Jeffrey Reed To say that Joseph Bermel Jr. – also known as The Putting Doctor – is passionate about golf would be like saying Tiger Woods knows his way around the links. Bermel, of Long Island, N.Y. also knows a thing or two about marketing, hav- ing launched his own DVD, How To Putt Well, and even a practice putting cup bear- ing his name and logo. But while this golf instructor and travelling golf show en- tertainer can talk the talk, he can also walk the walk when it comes to putting. One of 15 children, Ber- mel started caddying while in Grade 8, and starting playing while attending the University of Dayton, Ohio. He’s been a golf instructor since 1981, and confirmed his status as an elite putting instructor with his runner- up finish, following a play- off, in the New York State Finals of the World Putting Championship at Elmira, NY in 1996. Travelling throughout the northeast U.S. and into Canada with his road show, Bermel said putting is re- ally about the six inches be- tween the ears. “The number-one key to putting is organization of your mind. If your mind is not organized, goodbye!” said Bermel. “Organization is everything.Your mind tells your body what to do.” Bermel, a creature of habit who said he has owned only three putters over the last 42 years, is a proponent of what he calls PPR: the pre- putt routine. “If you don’t have a specific, methodical PPR, good-bye!” said Ber- mel. His three key principles are: exacting, specific and methodical. Part of that prepara- tion, according to Bermel, involves asking yourself, “What am I going to do? How am I going to do it? When am I going to do it? And in what manner am I going to putt? Now, we are getting deep into the mind game, and I teach a mind game. “How important is put- ting to the game of golf? It’s 43 per cent of the total score,” said Bermel. And psychologically, he says, it is more like 50 per cent of the game, or more.“Putting af- fects your total game. If you make a very good one-putt or terrific two-putt, on any given hole, you’re walking to the next tee box with a very positive mindset. The same is true in the reverse. If you have – God forbid – the dreaded three-putt, you’re walking negative onto the next tee box.” Putting all between ears says Putting Doctor

Here are some options, as I see them. Moderation, a diet con- sisting of eating whatever one wants but in reason- able portions, is considered stupid and boring. It as- sumes that we would actu- ally agree to eat a large piece of salmon and a small piece of chocolate, or a large por- tion of vegetables and only a bite or two of chili cheese nachos with guacamole and extra sour cream.The public has not only soundly reject- ed this diet, but the gover- nor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, is now in favour of a bill to allow citizens to not only be allowed to carry their handguns in bars, but to use their weapons to soundly beat anyone seen eating a balanced diet in a South Carolina restaurant. This leaves us in a quan- dary, even greater than that posed by having to choose between pepperoni or Ital- ian sausage on our deep- dish pizzas. Namely, what kinddietdowefollow,when we are not otherwise occu- pied on Facebook or playing Words With Friends? The following are some popular diets that North Americans follow: The Halloween Candy diet:While mostAmericans would be hard-pressed to assert that a diet of Hallow- een candy would put one on the fast track to opti- mal health, the truth is that many people are on this diet for at least part of the year. Aside from the plethora of choices rolled out on su- permarket shelves in an- ticipation of the holiday, the candy itself is usually touted as “fun size” or “mini size.” These images are far more appealing than“jumbo size,” or even“gastric bypass size.” They allow us to consume vast quantities of sugar and chocolate in teeny tiny bite- size portions. Many Americans have discovered the Paleo diet, named after Bud Paleo, a prehistoric entrepreneur who started a chain of fast- food mammoth-burger res- taurants back when all food was not only pure, but a lot of it could run really fast and then kill you.The Paleo Diet includes grass-produced meats, fish and seafood, fruits and veggies,eggs,nuts and seeds, and healthy oils. None of these items will run fast and then kill you, espe- cially the nuts and seeds. Another popular diet that doesn’t force anyone to be moderate is the Gluten- Free diet. Most North Americans have now found themselves to be gluten- intolerant,even though they have no knowledge of what gluten is, other than a vague belief that it has something to do with glue. For this reason, following a gluten diet consists not of avoiding certain foods, but instead, of simply buying anything that shouts “gluten free!” Because of this, manufac- turers of clothing and hair products now carry gluten- free labels. The governor of South Carolina has been quoted as saying,“South Carolina has a long, proud history of in- tolerance. We are excited at the prospect of adding glu- cose, whatever the hell that is, to the list of things we are intolerant of.” Other North Americans have been following the Subway diet (the popu- lar sandwich chain, not the underground rail system), inspired by an ordinary man named Jared Fogle, who lost a huge amount of weight by only eating Subway sand- wiches. Subway devotees have just now been shocked lately to learn that Subway, which touts their fresh- baked bread, uses azodicar- bonamide in their bread, a chemical also used in yoga mats. Jared, himself, has not been available for com- ment, as he is currently be- ing studied by scientists to determine the reason he is now glowing in the dark. The Kosher dietisn’tfol- lowed by anyone who wants to lose weight or avoid carbs, fat, gluten or peanuts. It does, however, discriminate against pork products and against mixing dairy and meat together. To make up for this, it encourages diners to eat until they develop se- rious gastric distress, for fear of insulting the person who prepared the food. Other diets are either Low Carb (another sub- stance that no one actu- ally understands but simply buys products that say“low carb!”) or Low Fat or Fat- Free or Sugar-Free or Pea- nut/Soy/Dairy/Additive/ Conflict Diamond Free. They all have their merits, when combined with ob- scene amounts of exercise. In sum, we don’t care which diet you follow,as long as you are careful when trav- elling through the state of South Carolina to not reveal that you know where Life in the Boomer Lane lives. Let’s agree to never say…diet Solutions to the puzzles on Page 8

For 10 centuries, those on the spiritual path have trod a holy route known as the Way of St. James, a pilgrim- age that can commence at any of four starting points in southern France or northern Spain. Most pilgrims still travel on foot or ride a bi- cycle. A few choose the me- dieval way, on horseback. Many will walk for weeks, even months, on what is now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The route from Le Puy in south central France to Santiago can take 2 1/2 months. The distance from the Span- ish village of Roncesvalles, north of Pamplona near the French border,to Santiago is 800 kilometres. Some trekkers meet the minimum requirements by setting out from the village of Sarria, which has bus and rail service from other parts of Spain. Regardless of the distance and starting point, they’re all heading for the town of Santiago de Compostela in Spain’s northwest region of Galicia. Its revered cathe- dral claims to contain the remains of St. James the Apostle. Pilgrims are easy to spot. They wear the Chris- tian symbol for St. James: a scallop shell. If you’re travelling by foot or bike, your most essential gear is a backpack. When loaded, it should not weigh more than 10 per cent of your own weight. Avoid the temptation to take items “just in case” because you can buy whatever you forget at markets and shops along the way. A water bottle and first-aid kit are musts, plus a small towel, soap, and clips to hang up laundry to dry. You’ll need a sleeping bag and mat if you’re not stop- ping at inns on the route. Well-broken-in water- resistant mountain boots a half size larger than your normal shoe are your best footwear. Always wear dry cotton socks to avoid blisters. PuttingVaseline on your feet before donning the socks will help keep blisters at bay.Take a pair of flip-flops to give your feet a rest at days’end. If you choose to bike the route, you will have to pedal on local roads in some spots. A mountain bike is best.Take a helmet, waterproof gloves and basic repair kit.You’ll be riding with loaded saddle- bags so practise riding this way before you leave home. Accommodations in the towns and villages along the way include rural lodg- ings, hotels, parador hotels (former castles, monaster- ies, and other historic build- ings), guest houses, camp- sites and the traditional pilgrims hostels. These last, also called refugios or albergues (in France: gites d’etape) pro- vide dormitory sleeping accommodations and are either free or require a small donation to cover the cost of cleaning and maintenance. Privately owned hostels cost a bit more. During summer months, and other times when the regular places are full, sports centres, churches and other places will ac- commodate pilgrims. Hostel accommodations are on a first-come, first- served basis until 8 p.m. Pil- grims on foot are given first priority, followed by those on horseback and then cy- clists. Except in the case of illness, travellers are limited to one night in each hostel. They open at noon and no noise is permitted after 9 or 10 p.m.Breakfast is included and departure in the morn- ing is by 8 or 9 a.m. The average daily distance for walkers is 20 to 30 kilo- metres. For bicyclists, its 60 to 70 kilometres. One’s age, physical condition or other factors dictate the pace of travel. Some pilgrims use a support car. Signs that point the way may be almost anywhere: on walls, the ground, trees, stones, and posts. If you’re uncertain, ask someone nearby and you likely will be pointed in the right direction. Spring to autumn is the best time to make the trek, with July and August the hottest and most crowded months. Wear comfortable clothing, with a sweater for cool nights and a hat and sunscreen for the days. Drink lots of water during the day, filling your water bottle from the many drink- ing fountains along the way. Have a hearty breakfast. For lunch and dinner, there are restaurants, cafes and other establishments where you can sample local dishes. Often, they have a“Pilgrims’ Menu”at a very reasonable price. You’ll need to show your “Pilgrim’s Passport,” a cre- dential issued by the first hostel you stop at, or at the associations of Friends of the Way (Amigos del Camino) before you set out. Then you have it stamped in each town where you stay over- night. As a certificate of ac- complishment,it entitles you to the“Compostela”given to pilgrims who have complet- ed at least the last 100 kilo- metres to Santiago on foot or by horseback, or the last 200 kilometres by bike. To obtain a Pilgrim’s Pass- port before leaving home, look for Canadian Company of Pilgrims at www.camino. ca/. To view their newslet- ter, e-mail Austin Cooke at Austin@santiago.ca.

The first decision is whether this is an RV you will drive or tow. Motorhomes come in Class A (bus style), B (van conversion) and C (built on a light truck chassis). It is one vehicle to fuel, insure and jockey about the high- way.You might tow a small car behind the motorhome or go light and lean by car- rying bicycles or a motor- ized scooter on board. With a travel trailer you have the hassle and extra costs of towing but once you leave the trailer in a campground you have an agile vehicle for errands and sightseeing. Choices range from featherweight pop-up campers to rolling homes with a couple of bedrooms. Travel trailers also come in “toy hauler”models that are part living quarters, part ga- rage for toys such as anATV, wave runner or boat. Lastly are a fifth-wheel trailer or a pickup camper. Both make use of the pickup truck you use at home. It all begins with choosing the right vehicle for trav- elling at highway speeds. Look at the number of axles, the suspension, the depar- ture angle, power assists, miles per litre, ease of park- ing, total payload and much more. Next, look at how ac- commodations will work for you and your partner start- ing with sleeping arrange- ments. There is no reason to haul around extra bunks nor, if you prefer showers, a bath tub. NEW VERSUS USED RV’S New is best because: it’s easier to finance and insure, it’s available with all the co- lours and options you want, it’s clean inside and out, and it probably has a better war- ranty than you could get on any used RV. Everything is new, from the light bulbs and tires to the DVD player in the cockpit. Used is best because: it’s already taken that first, big depreciation hit. The pre- vious owner has probably worked out the worst of the bugs and will probably throw in plenty of extras. BUyER PITFALLS By now you’ve probably owned enough cars, com- puters and other machines to know that complexity breeds breakdowns. Rule One in choosing an RV is the same KISS (Keep It Sim- ple, Stupid) maxim most of us live by. The more conve- niences you have, the more conveniences there are that can break down.Even when covered by warranty, fail- ures mean another trip to a dealer, another night in the shop, another phone call to a supplier and endless per- sonal confrontations just to get the RV working the way it was meant to work. The less able you are to deal with electrical, hydrau- lic and mechanical problems yourself, the more impor- tant it is to avoid complex systems. Do you really need a pushbutton entry step, ra- dio-operated door locks, an electrically operated awning and a heated,cooled driver’s seat that adjusts to 15 dif- ferent positions by using a joystick? ADDITIoNAL BUyING TIPS • When a big investment is on the line it pays to have an attorney go over the fi- nancing agreement and the warranty. • Whether the RV is new or used, insist on getting all the written warranties, operator manuals and in- struction books that go with every system including the flush toilet and individual appliances such as the mi- crowave, stove and refriger- ator. Many things in an RV don’t work like their house- hold cousins and, if you don’t operate them right in the first place, you could void a warranty. It’s also handy to get instructions for care of flooring, counter-top materials, upholstery and other materials. • If you’ll be buying the RV at an RV or travel show, attend the first time just to look and listen. By the last day of the show dealers are more willing to cut a deal rather than haul the RV back to their sales lot. With an RV you have the pleasure of both being there and getting there in your own home without packing and unpacking. If an RV is in your future, plan on at- tending the 17th Annual RV Owners Lifestyle Seminar at Okanagan College this June. Janet Groene is author of Living Aboard Your RV, now available in its fourth edi- tion from McGraw-Hill. Her Cooking Aboard Your RV, sec- ond edition, is published in English and French.

Kelowna The 1942 raid on Dieppe by the Allied Forces was, as Mark Zuehlke’s Tragedy at Dieppe tells us in no uncertain terms, the worst military disaster for Canadians in World War II. About 68% of the 5,000 Canadian soldiers involved in the nine-hour raid would become casualties, and the majority who were unscathed never made it ashore. The Dieppe raid, code- name Operation Jubilee, has been controversial since the moment news of its out- come reached the world. How could it have gone so terribly wrong, and who was at fault? In Tragedy at Dieppe, Zuehlke tackles these questions through the personal accounts of soldiers, sailors and air- men. These anecdotes form a narrative of the planning and execution of the raid that is brimming with per- sonal insights from every- one involved, from the de- cision-makers to common soldiers who wouldn’t even learn the raid was happen- ing until a few hours before it began. Through Zuehlke’s highly detailed descriptions of the politics around the raid, the plans that were adopted and then abandoned and adopted again, growing and becoming more complex and unmanageable, and the grand fiasco of the training exercise codenamed Yukon that preceded it, make it sound almost impossible that the Dieppe raid got off the ground in the ifrst place. As he leads us through the experiences of the soldiers during the raid itself, we watch heartbroken as one batalion and then another sopes with the reality of the ill-fated operation. However, as Zuehlke says in his epilogue,“Honouring the sacrifice of those who fought ar Dieppe requires no justification for the raid.” Tragedy at Dieppe, now available in trade paperback for the first time, stands as a tribute to the brave men B OO K R E V I E W Tragedy at Dieppe By Mark Zuehlke who met disaster on the beaches of France on Au- gust 19, 1942. MARK ZUEHLKE was nominated for Canada’s pre- miere history prize, the 2013 Governor General’s His- tory Award for Excellence in Popular Media: The Pierre Berton Award. Widely hailed as Canada’s leading popular military historian,he is author of more than twenty books, in- cluding the popular Elias Mc- Cann mystery series.

Each was a true repast with tremendous, innovative menus. The Captain’s dinner was superb. It included white Chablis and red Infant Jesus as the wines, to go with fois gras with fried bread and port reduction, cured salm- on with capers and cornich- ons, a splendid trio of lamb (slowly cooked shoulder, roasted rack and fillet), with dauphinoise potatoes. No meal went without a fine cheese tray – St. Maure de Touraine, Epoisses and Roquefort – ending with an amazing creme brulée. Since many of the cheeses aren’t pasteurized it’s dif- ficult to find them in North America. One night we dined out at an acclaimed restaurant in Les Bezards and at the end I concluded that Chef Ollie’s reputation was safe. And the accommoda- tions? What a surprise when we saw our suite. There are only four suites, all similar. They compare well with many of Paris’five- star, small hotels. Another opportunity for activities was wine-tasting. I can’t recall a trip that had something for everyone from the finest wine, chees- es, meals to the supreme comfort level. No wonder many guests return.
