He’s man with whom we identify easily. He has problems, successes, strengths, and weaknesses. He was the creation of one Sholem Rabinovitz, who used the pen name of Sholem Aleichem. Writers convey their strong opinions, observations, and the truths they discover. While Sholem had a classic education in a Russian gymnasium or academic high school, he wrote for the simple people about simple people. His father favoured the educated Hebrew language and Sholem was trained in that. Sholem Aleichem wrote in Yiddish, the language of the people. This is where he found what he knew he had to write. The first story, Tevye Strikes it Rich, was a monologue written in 1894. Tevye has an encounter with a woman and her daughter who are lost. At first he is afraid that they are demons, but then he gets over that, escorts them home and is rewarded for his heroism. Peasants believed in the supernatural. The ordinary people, once serfs, then peasants after Tsar Alexander II’s reforms in the middle of the 19th century, did not benefit by the abolition of the serf system. The landlords profited and the serfs got the leftovers. According to the History Today site, “The data shows that the landlords retained two-thirds of the land while the peasants received only one-third. So limited was the supply of affordable quality land to the peasants that they were reduced to Entertainment for everyone who likes only the best buying narrow strips that proved difficult to maintain and which yielded little food or profit. The peasants found themselves saddled with redemption payments that became a lifelong burden that then had to be handed on to their children.” And that’s why the Rabbi’s best prayer for the Tsar is, “May God keep the Tsar... far away from us”. Bill Cocks plays the 2014 Rabbi. He’s grown a beard just for the role and portrays the dignity of a wise and knowledgeable man. We can’t help but believe that this is how a rabbi must look and act. Medicine Hat’s first production of Fiddler on the Roof was performed at the Medicine Hat College theatre in 1971. This year the show will be performed on the Esplanade stage. The man around whom the whole show rotates, Tevye, will be played by Bert Propp, and in a rare appearance, Marty Schultz will play Tevye as Bert’s understudy. You’ve heard the songs before, songs that stay with you, and you will be fortunate to hear them again sung by Medicine Hat’s fabulous voices. The chorus is powerful, and the solos will give you many years of music that plays in your head. That’s because the singers are so wonderful. I could use the word virtuosos because I’m more than impressed. I felt what they were singing, down to my toes, during a rehearsal. The performances will be even more enchanting. A performance of such a classic, with roots in the 19th century and based on authentic life, does not simply appear on a stage.The work done by 80-85 people must be acknowledged.Tom Rooke is the director and began the work on this, his 6th show, in mid 2014. His experience and expertise give confidence to the crew and cast. Just to be sure that he and wife Linda are on the right track they bring their dog along. I can’t remember what his name is.

Donna Rae I was surprised that the "Marketplace" on CBC reported recently about how toxic the teas were that we buy from our supermarket and consume innocently thinking we are getting a good product. It appears that the healthiest teas are the ones from the health food stores: Numi, Rishi, Edem organic, Organic Stash, Choice Organic, Two Leaves Organic, Organic Tazo, Organic Traditional Medicinals, and Organic Yogi Teas, Tetley Black & Green tea,(www.national.cleanplates.com/health-nutrition/these-teasare-toxin-free) I was shocked to find that Celestial Seasonings contained the highest levels pesticides that exceed the US federal limits. Other brands mentioned that were toxic were Lipton,Tevana, Bigelow, and many more. But, get this - "Red Rose Orange Pekoe" was found to be the cleanest and most toxic free. If you are interested in the health of your family regarding these teas, Google 'toxic teas', or look up www.collectiveevolution.com/2013/10/26/what's-in-your-mug-the-toxic-truthabout-tea/ Donna Rae at the Natural Healing Clinic.

Linda Rooke is the production manager and looks after everything on the stage. While Tom began his theatre involvement on the board and then got into acting, Linda just likes to be involved. The Sunday I checked out the rehearsal, Linda was in charge of the pictures taken by Joan Kennedy. This year there is a press kit that gave me enough information to add to the above and give you a taste of what you will see and hear. The remarkable Carolyn Freeman plays the Mama, who has a very defined role in family life. Her daughters, lovable but not altogether easy, are played by Samantha and Sydney Frelick an Janlyn Hoffman. Their voices are gorgeous. Connor Clark plays Fyedka and the Fiddler. Greg McLean plays Lazar Wolf and Karoline Fox plays Yente.

They deserve the highest praise. Did I mention someone who keeps everyone from crashing into each other on stage? The choreographer, Voula Douvis, merits an accolade as well. There simply isn’t enough room for more, but when you see the show, you will be entertained by superb work.

Well, that one day came and now this gentleman and his wife are residents of The Wellington. The Moores are “new kids on the block” at The Wellington. I wanted to feature Mickey as our Veteran of Honour, 2014, but as I was doing research to honour Mickey, I was told that his bride, is also a Veteran. Here are just a few of the highlights from their distinguished journeys. Mickey was born in The Wellington is proud to serve some of Canada’s Veterans among our residents, including Edward “Mickey” and Jean Moore Call 403-526-2225 to tour www.thewellingtonmh.com Medicine Hat. He served in the Canadian Army Infantry and Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Military Reserve during World War II and peacetime. He enlisted in the royal Canadian Air Force in Calgary and took his basic training in Toronto and was transferred to the Armoured Corps at Camp Borden, Ontario. Mickey enlisted in the Reserve Army and served with the South Alberta Regiment/South Alberta Light Horse. He served for nearly 30 years, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, commanding from 1972 until his discharge in 1975. He was awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, the 1939-1945 War Medal, the Canadian Forces Decoration and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Jean was born in Owen Sound, Ontario. She enlisted and served in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps during World War II after training in Kitchener, Ontario. Jean was Manager of the Canteen in Trinity Barracks and was discharged with the rank of Sergeant in Long Branch Ontario. She was awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and the 1939-1945 War Medal. Both Mickey and Jean have been members of the Robertson Memorial Legion Branch #17 in Medicine Hat for A family business providing full denture services, including immediate and partial dentures. Specializing in implant dentures. Deryk J. Woodman DD, Denturist Chelsie R. Woodman DD, Denturist • Same Day Service on Relines (by app.) • Free Consultations • New Patients Welcome • Alberta Senior Benefit Program • Dental Benefit Plan Accepted • Repairs While You Wait • Hospital/Home Care Visits Available • Evenings and Saturdays by Appointment 403.527.7900 #5 - 3341 Dunmore Road SE Huntington Plaza over 34 years. I was told that Mickey and Jean met at one of the Canteen dances during their service. Rumour has it that they were swept off their feet. Mickey and Jean have three lovely daughters and their families. They are the proud grandparents of 16, 19 great grandchildren and one great, great granddaughter. Mickey spent the majority of his career working for the T. Eaton Co. and as an insurance agent with Canada Life, followed by some time as a security guard at Suffield. Jean, not only held down the homestead, while Mickey did a lot of travelling, but also enjoyed a long career with Co-op and later with Hallingsworth, which then became Greys Apparel here in Medicine Hat. For more than 40 years, the Moore family enjoyed many happy times at their cabin in Elkwater. This past September, Mickey and Jean celebrated their 69th Wedding Anniversary here at The Wellington. On November 11th, at our Remembrance Day ser- vice, residents, family and staff will join together in recognition and remembrance of our resident Veterans. We will remember those who have given huge sacrifices, even their lives, to ensure that we are strong, proud and free. Each year, our “Salute To Our Veterans” tribute display grows with memorabilia and medals worn by our resident Veterans.

Vaccinations Though vaccines are usually associated with childhood or foreign travel, older adults may need certain vaccinations as R they age. Even those who received immunizations as youngsters may need refresher doses or vaccinations tailored specifi- cally to the over 50 crowd. Seniors are urged to talk to their doctors about certain vaccines. In addition to flu shots, there are vaccinations that can help prevent other illnesses, such as pertussis (whooping cough), shingles, diphtheria/tetanus, and pneumonia. Shingles is a condition that affects those who had chickenpox as children, and can be quite painful.

Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. • Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle's exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. • Stick to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. Adhering to your vehicle's maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle's oil every 3,000 miles, many of today's newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner's manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and don't forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle's oil. • Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes' rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle's brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal. • Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle's fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires' life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual. • Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car's life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That's because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle's gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle's performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. • Take care of your vehicle's interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about being good to what's under the hood. Caring for the car's interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The longer you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicle's door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle's interior, whether it's cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car's interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale. Cajun Auto & RV Sales 1081 Highway Ave. N.E.

Operation Overlord T he final plans for Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France, and its assault phase, Operation Neptune were made in early 1944. The invasion plan called for an amphibious assault by five infantry divisions on a fifty mile stretch of the Cotentin Caen area of the Normandy coast. The five infantry divisions, two British, one Canadian and two American were assigned to beaches code-named, from east to west, Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah. Three airborne divisions would land ahead of the main invasion to delay enemy movements and facilitate expansion of the bridgehead. Two American airborne divisions would land behind the western assault and the British airborne on the eastern end. Operation Overlord represented a previously unknown level of cooperation between allied nations, all struggling for the common goal of defeating Nazi Germany. The plan called for the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division to establish a beachhead, capture the three small seaside towns, and advance ten miles inland. Their objective was to cut the Caen-Bayeux highway, seize the Carpiquet airport west of Caen. The Troops Boarding a LCI challenge facing the Canadians was to overcome the coastal defences Troops boarding a LCI (Landing Craft Infantry). An LCI could tranpsort and capture ground positions that could be defended against German 200 soldiers. Infantry would descend from the decks using ramps counter attacks. The assault was a formidable task for the Canadians as located on either side of the bow. Some 250 LCI's participated in the the Germans had turned the coastline into a continuous fortress of guns, Normandy Landings.

The army was the largest service with 700,000 enlistments. The Royal Canadian Air Force had 222,501 enlistments and the Royal Canadian Navy 99,407. By June 1944, 30,000 of these Canadians were poised in Britain for Operation Overlord. We Honour and Remember Our Veterans!

But it will mean the world to those who survived the wars of the past century, and to those still in our military forces today. It will show them that their service counts and that they will not be forgotten as we speed our way through the 21st century. The Royal Canadian Legion A force for remembrance Lest we forget. 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Mass drop of the 1st Battalion from Douglas Dakota aircrafts. Canadian paratroopers dug in by drop zone O n May 2nd, 1915 (during the first few days of the Second Battle of Ypres), Lieutenant Alexis Helmer was struck by a German shell while leaving the safety of his bunker. Serving in the same Canadian artillery unit was Major John Macrae, a good friend of Lieutenant Helmer. Major John Macrae served as a military doctor and artillery commander, and was called upon to officiate over his young friends internment as the chaplain had been called away. The sudden passing of his good friend, combined with the stunning sight of red poppies waving around the small wooden cross bearing Lieutenant Helmer’s name, prompted Major Macrae to write the now familiar poem, In Flanders Fields, that we associate so closely with Remembrance Day. It is believed that the poem helped Major Macrae cope with the reality of what was going on around him, and allowed him to accept the passing of his friend. It is our hope that you will take a moment on November 11 to remember the sacrifices of the many, and acknowledge the memories of the survivors. Please... Wear a poppy for the sake of remembrance; speak to a veteran for the sake of memory; acknowledge the past for the sake of peace.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.
