The opinion expressed are those of the MayorandnootherCouncillor. Itakethis opportunity to congratulate the new Council. I hope your term of office results in strong government, financial responsible decision making and improved community involvement.

As a ratepayer I have one concern.

Acclamation of Mayor and Council does not give me any idea what Council stands for or wishes to accomplish.Afull political campaign raises people's awareness and expectations. Acclamationislifeless:nopresentationofideas; no harvest of signs; no articles of ideas to agree with or oppose; no promises; no analysis of the previous Council and Mayor; no plans for the future. We need clarification. Presently a detachment exists between the future Council

Chapleau Moments

by MichaelJ. Morris

"1181 Chapleau High School Cadet Corps,GeneralSalute,PresentArms,"Company CommanderCadetMajorStanleyBartyordered at 1400 hours precisely, the Girls Bugle Band played, and the annual inspection and social event of the school year was underway 53 years agoonMay22,1957,onthegroundsbehindthe oldschoolonPineStreet.

Following the salute taken by Central Command Area Cadet Officer, Captain H.G.L. Hutton, there was the inspection in line, and the marchpastfollowedbythedemonstrations.Neil Ritchiewasinchargeoftheprecisiondrillwhile bren l.m.g., Cadet Sergeants Jim Evans, Roger Mizuguchi and Doug Slievert headed first aid andrifle,respectively.

Ian Macdonald, who was Second in Command as Cadet Captain and David McMillan,theCompanySergeantMajor,kindly shared some of their memories about the Cadet CorpsfromtheirtimeatCHS.

Ian explained that "the Cadet inspection includedadrillexhibitionbythePrecisionSquad and a demonstration of how to dismantle and assemble a Bren Gun. CHS had a war surplus BrenGunwiththefiringpinremovedalongwith some extra ammunition clips and spare barrel. I think that the rifles that the cadets carried were standard army Enfields modified for 22calibre barrels. Target shooting was part of the Cadet program."

In 1957 Neil Ritchie who headed the precision drill was taking Grade 13 in several

annualstages,accordingtoIan,and"had earned a lot of seniority and was given the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel which was the highest rank possible in Cadets. Usually, a Cadet Lieutenant Colonel commanded a battalion rather than four platoons, but we moved Neil up because it was the only way that the restofuscouldbepromotedupthechain ofcommand."

Platoon commanders were Cadet Lieutenants Jim Hong, Lucien Bouillon, Leona Paquette, and Naomi Mizuguchi while the bugle band commanders were Margaret Rose Payette and Mary Serre. Gail Leon was drum majorette.

Ian also recalled that CHS Principal George Lemon participated at the 1957 cadet inspection in full army uniform but John McClellanwhohadretiredtheyearbeforedidnot appearinuniformalthoughtheCadetInspection and the Cadet movement was very important to him. Mr. Lemon had served in the Canadian forces in World War II and Mr. McClellan in WorldWarI.

David McMillan recalled a humorous incident that apparently occurred while Mr. McClellanwasstillprincipalatCHS."Therewas a humorous incident that I have tucked away in my memory box that I often look back on and wonderifitwasfactorfolklore.Atanyrate,the Corps was out on the ballfield practicing the marchpast,underMac'swatchfuleye,inadvance oftheupcomingInspection.Forwhateverreason Mac saw something he didn't like in the routine and took over temporary command with instructionsnottodeviatefromtheprogramuntil hegavetheorder.

"What he failed to realize was that the Corps were facing north towards the river when he gave the 'Quick March' order immediately prior to being distracted by someone or something close at hand. By the timehereturnedhisattentiontothe marchers, (the leaders) had led the troop into the river between two

boathouses and up to their waists in water. This was not an isolated incident by any means because I recall ending up behind the Public School on another occasion simply because marching orders were either not heard, understoodorsimplyignored."

Ian noted that "male Cadets wore a standard Canadian Army issue style khaki uniformwithawoolentunicandpants,webbelt, spats, parade boots and khaki beret. This really wasn't much of a fashion statement, so the decision was made to add a bit of panache and provide the cadet officers with white spats, web belt and a white lanyard. I can't recall how we managed to do that, but it helped immensely." Davidaddedthattwothingscametomindabout the uniforms: "their ability to create an itchy effectandretainheatonthosehotJunedayswhen wewereinuniformonadustyballfield."

David also remembered that CHS had been designated a Signal Corps and "had a monstrosity of a main transmitter that I believe was referred to as the 4880 and if this is indeed correct, I have no idea as to why this number comestomindafteralltheseyears.Atanyrate,it wassetupinsidetheHighSchoolandgroupsof cadets would be scattered around the ball field with satellite radios attempting to transmit and receivemessageswiththebaseunitwhich,more often than not, was a futile and frustrating exercise."

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

Canadians continue to feel the effects of inflation on their pocketbooks. This week, Statistics Canada again confirmed what most of us already know:whilethepriceofgascontinuestodrop,ithas not yet had the knock-on effect of reducing the costs forothercommodities,suchasgroceries,whichhave risen10.8%inthepastyear.Coupledwithincreasesin housing costs, it's harder and harder to make ends meet. Families are struggling to get by, and while corporate profits are rising twice as fast as inflation, wagesforworkingCanadiansarestagnating.Thecost oflivingisahugechallenge,soit'simportantwemeet thosechallengeshead-on.

Aswe'veseenconsistentlyoverthepastfew years, large corporate interests are making record profits, but that has not translated to a benefit for Canadians. Clearly trickle-down economic models aren't working, and it's leaving too many people struggling with the increasing costs of necessities.A keyfactortohelpdealwithglobalinflationchallenges is to ensure that money is put in the hands of people

who need it most…not shareholders, not CEOs, but workingpeople,families,andseniors.

With the House of Commons resuming, it's vital that the government focuses its efforts on addressing the inflation crisis and take appropriate measures to make it easier for people to make ends meet. To that end, it was good to see that the government is respecting its obligation under the Delivering for Canadians Now, A Supply and ConfidenceAgreement which was negotiated by the New Democrat Party who has been championing for monthsformeasuresthatwouldhelptogetmoneyin people'spockets,reducefamilycosts,andmakesome headwayonaddressinghousingcosts.

One key issue we've heard about for years from families is that the cost of dental care can be prohibitivelyexpensive,especiallyforyoungworking families who don't have the benefit of workplace dental plans. Dental care is exceptionally important, particularly for young people whose mouths are still developing. A bacterial gum infection, for instance, can lead to significantly greater problems down the roadifleftuntreated,includingheartattackandstroke, andcostingthehealthcaresystemfarmoreinthelong run. The recent announcement that flows from the Supply and ConfidenceAgreement will see children undertheageof12receivecoverageofupto$650per annum(perchild)forlow-to-middleincomefamilies. Coveragewillbeexpandednextyeartochildrenunder

theageof18,seniorsandpeoplewithdisabilities;and foralllow-to-middleincomeCanadiansthereafter.

We also know how prohibitive the cost of housing is, particularly for those on a fixed income whoarestrugglingtokeepupwithrentincreasesthat outpaceearnings.Fartoomanypeoplearenowforced to pay more than the maximum recommended 30 percent of income on housing. Because of the agreement, two million people receiving the Canada HousingBenefitwillreceivea$500tax-freetop-upto help deal with rent increases. It's not panacea for the rise in housing costs, but it will benefit those people whoarestrugglingwithhousingcoststhemost.

Although not part of the Agreement, for months now New Democrats have been calling for a doubling of the GST rebate to help give recipients somefinancialrelief.Theriseininflationisincreasing governmentrevenuesgeneratedthroughtheGST,and that money should be put back into people's pockets. The government was initially resistant and opposed theideabroughtforwardbytheNDP,butnowrealizes that it is a sound way to get people some financial relief and ensure that it goes to those recipients who need it most. As a result, twelve million Canadians willbenefitfromtheincreasetotheirGSTrebate.

While these measures may not be enough to help Canadians deal with inflation and affordability issues,theywillhelptoprovidesomedegreeofrelief whileinflationevensoutandcostsstarttostabilize.

L'abordabilité:laquestionlaplusurgentecetautomne

À l'évidence, les modèles économiques à effet de ruissellement ne fonctionnent pas et laissent trop de gens dans une situation difficile où ils ont du mal à acheter des produits de première nécessité de plus en plus coûteux. Un facteur majeur dans la lutte contre les problèmes d'inflation dans le monde consiste à remettre l'argent aux personnes qui en ont le plus besoin,nonpasauxactionnairesetaux PDG,mais bien aux salariés, aux familles et aux personnes âgées.
