Goodfellows honour supporters

Seemingly overnight, the fall colours of yellow, orange and red were on full display in Chatham including along Victoria Avenue on Saturday.

The Chatham Goodfellows kicked off their campaign season Thursday by holding their 64th annual general meeting and recognizing volunteers, supporters and organizations that have gone above and beyond for the group.

Chatham Goodfellows director Tim Mifflin said more than 180 people

turned out for the evening, forcing organizers to set up extra tables.

Those on hand got to see Mark Lacina and Ann Preston be named Mr. and Mrs. Goodfellow, Fred Osmon receive a lifetime achievement award, and the folks at Giant Tiger earn recognition for their support by being given the president’s award.

Santa parade hits Chatham Nov. 16

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

Organizers of this year’s Santa Claus parade in Chatham, taking place Nov. 16 at 6:30 p.m., have some advice for those

planning on attending: Bring a couple of bags, for giving and receiving.

“One for non-perishable food items to donate, and one to collect all the goodies that will be handed out,” Connie Beneteau of

What’s New

the Historic Downtown Chatham BIA said. “There are so many different things going on. The firemen will have their boots out collecting donations as well. Canada Post will be collecting letters to Santa too.”

Beneteau said the Chatham Goodfellows, Salvation Army, and St. Clair College students will all be collecting non-perishable food items. In terms of deciding to which group to donate, she suggested bringing lots and donating to your favourite organization.

City Electric Supply personnel will be collecting gently used and new plush toys for its annual Teddy Bear Drive. Donations go to local charities and organizations in need in Chatham-Kent.

Beneteau said marshaling for this year’s parade is back on Sandys Street between Grand Avenue and McNaughton Avenue. The parade will head across the Lacroix Street Bridge rather than the Third Street Bridge as it

did last year, as there is a load restriction in place on the Third Street Bridge, preventing heavy trucks from crossing it.

A number of floats are on the flatbeds of tractor-trailers, plus there are fire trucks and other heavy vehicles involved, she added.

Staging for the parade will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Sandys Street. The parade will travel across the Lacroix Street Bridge, turning

left onto King Street and proceeding through the downtown to the WISH Centre on King Street East.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will once again find time away from their busy schedules at this time of the year to take part. They’ll be on a float designed by Union Gas, Beneteau said, and will be handing out bags of candy after the parade at the WISH Centre.

This year’s parade will feature two marching

bands, the Port Huron Big Red Marching Band and the Kingsville-Essex Marching Band.

Organizing the parade is a lot of work, but it’s worth it, Beneteau said.

Her favourite part is seeing happy families enjoying the evening.

“All the people coming out to enjoy it; people sitting on the curbs with their children under blankets. I think that’s adorable,” she said.

Shining a light on violence against women

By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com

Lighting up Chatham-Kent in a purple glow is the aim of the Chatham-Kent Women’s Centre (CKWC) Shine the Light campaign that kicked off Nov. 1, the start of Women Abuse Prevention Month in Canada.

Rain didn’t stop Karen Hunter, executive director, and Teri Simmons, board chair, from heading outside for a ceremonial lighting of a Christmas tree in the purple colours of the campaign. The pair was joined by Mayor-Elect Darrin Canniff and CKPS Chief Gary Conn, board members and the community at large.

“Every woman has the fundamental right to live safely and securely in her own home,� Hunter said during the ceremony. “This is a human rights issue. If women don’t feel safe, the very fabric of our society is torn apart.�

During this month, Hunter said they are asking the community to join them in wearing a purple scarf to symbolize support for ending violence against women, and asked people to help bring awareness to the issue and its effects on women and their children.

The scarves are for sale at the CKWC during November. They also hope that homes and businesses in the community put

up purple lights or decorations during the month to show their support.

Abuse can take many forms, including emotional and physical, and the

supports and services at the women’s centre offer hope to victims and their

families to break the cycle of violence.

Supports in place to aid women fleeing violence Continued from page 3

Hunter said the centre’s mission is to support women and help them realize that shame or blame doesn’t belong to them; it belongs to the abuser.

A lantern with a purple light was passed to each person in attendance, a

symbol of a beacon of hope across the community.

Canniff, who attended to support the CKWC, said the shelter is an extremely important resource in the community.

“It provides shelter for individuals who have no

other place to go. It’s an essential service and it’s wonderful that we can highlight this month what those services are and that we need more support for it,” Canniff said at the event. “Awareness and education are key to this and that’s why we focus

on the month; we need to get awareness out there as far as possible.”

Canniff added that prevention is also key. When women and children are in the shelter, it means abuse is happening.

“We, collectively as a society, need to take it back

one so it never happens in the first place. The best thing in the world would be to make facilities like this one obsolete because it’s not needed,” Canniff stated.

“Unfortunately, right now it is needed and it serves a beneficial purpose in our community.”

The CKWC is hosting an Anniversary Gala Event Nov. 10 at Links of Kent in honour of the 40th anniversary of the opening of the shelter in Chatham.

Tickets are $60 per person or $100 per couple, and can be obtained by calling Hunter at 519-351-9145.

Goodfellows already taking names Continued from page 1

Mifflin said Mark Lush, owner of Giant Tiger in Chatham, and his staff have been great participants in helping ensure children have decent footwear during the winter.

Mifflin said in 1990, Phil Williston started the boot program for Goodfellows where each child would receive a voucher for a new pair of boots.

The program ran successfully from 1990 to 2013, when the supplier at the time left town.

“While suppliers changed over the years, we have vendor commitment for 23 years,” Mifflin said.

But after three years without a corporate supporter for the boot program, the Goodfellows teamed up with Giant Tiger last year and conducted a soft relaunch of the program.

The re-launch saw about $10,000 spent to help close to 600 kids get winter boots.

Mifflin said each boot voucher, supplied to families through Goodfellows, was for $25. But that dollar value held little meaning to the people at Giant Tiger.

“It didn’t matter the price of boots. If you bought a pair of boots for $35, as far as Mark and his team were concerned, those boots were only $25,” he said.

The store covered the difference.

“Mark and his team are good folks,” Mifflin added. “They are a wonderful community-minded organization.”

Mifflin said Lush and Giant Tiger have supported Goodfellows in other ways as well.

Sometimes toy shortages have occurred, and for more than a decade, Giant Tiger has provid-

ed toys to fill any gaps.

Furthermore, staff and management are avid fundraisers for Goodfellows, Mifflin added, and over the past two years, they’ve collected close to $12,000.

The boots program will receive a boost this year, as the 100-Plus Women Who Care group donated $12,000 towards the boot program.

Osmon, meanwhile, has been with the Goodfellows for 60 years, Mifflin said, including serving as president, and is a former Mr. Goodfellow.

“He’s a natural for the lifetime achievement award. Fred has done virtually everything with Goodfellows over the years,” he said. “Then he started writing these cookbooks, and all the money raised is given to various charity groups in

Lest we forget On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we mark Remembrance Day. This year, Nov. 11 falls on a Sunday. This year, it also marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. One hundred years. That was supposed to be the war to end all wars.

It was a filthy, trench-based war where pounding artillery left the fields of combat looking more like the surface of the moon than the formerly beautiful French and Belgian countryside.

Machine guns controlled the battlefield, and frontal assaults were often akin to suicide. Canadian troops would follow creeping artillery barrages that would move ahead of the troops and grind up enemy positions, or at least force the enemy to keep their collective heads down.

It was the war where Canada emerged as a nation, taking or holding ground where other Allied troops could not.

The Germans unleashed Mustard Gas on Canadian troops at the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915.

Where French troops fled, Canadians held, despite suffering casualties.

Two years later, in the spring of 1917, Canadian troops were tasked with attacking Vimy Ridge.

Where other Allied troops had failed, we triumphed.

And when the British floundered near Passchendaele that October, Canadian troops were called in.

They took the area, but at the cost of nearly 16,000 dead or wounded.

Overall, the First World War was the bloodiest conflict in Canadian history. Nearly 61,000 Canadians died fighting the Germans.

They died defending our freedom in a horrendous war. The very least we can do is to honour their ultimate sacrifice by attending various Remembrance Day events around the municipality, or if you can’t get there, to mark the day with a moment of silence at home.

Unfortunately, many will treat Nov. 11, 2018 as just another Sunday, a workday for some, a day of rest for many others.

Too many take our freedom for granted, or casually wave off the fact hundreds of thousands fought for it in both world wars.

But the First World War, fought nearly 100 years ago, should not fade from memory.

Lest we forget.

Opinion

Zap, tingle, twitch – it’s just an EMG I’ve got a little advice for you, something learned from recent experience: If hospital staff advise you to be at the hospital at a certain time, do it.

Last week, I had to see Dr. John Clifford, a physical medicine and rehabilitation doc at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance. I’ll go into why in a moment.

So, I received a call from the CKHA Monday saying they had a couple of cancellations and asked if I wanted a 10 a.m. appointment Tuesday. I said sure.

They advised me to be at admitting at 9:30 a.m.

The next morning, as I have a lot of little things to do every Tuesday morning at the office, I tried to cram as much as I could into my window before I left.

So instead of being at admitting by 9:30 a.m., I left the office at that time.

I arrived at the Chatham campus not even 10 minutes later, having 20 minutes to spare before my appointment. No problem, right? I’ve been

Bruce Corcoran to a number of tests at the hospital in the past and that experience had me thinking I had plenty of time.

The trouble is, I don’t think I’ve ever had a morning appointment there.

The first problem arose when I went to park in the main lot by the front entrance. It was full and there were a couple of cars lined up to enter when people eventually left.

I spun around and headed along the front of the hospital, only to see no metered parking available. The same was true along Louise Street to the southwest of the hospital.

I pulled into ambulatory care parking, only to find the spot I discovered

as too tight a fit for my truck. It was beside some low fence pillars that I couldn’t see as I tried to squeeze in there.

Finally, I found the lone other available spot in the lot, also along that fencing, but I managed to have enough room to get out of the truck.

I limped through the hospital (my back’s still sore and my hip is still talking to me, plus I didn’t want to take any pain meds due to my tests) and made it to admitting at 9:46 a.m.

Still 14 minutes to go. No problem!

I took my number, 32, and looked up. “Now serving No. 18.”

Ugh. Nothing I could do but sit and wait. It was out of my hands.

Except, if I had arrived at the recommended time, I would have been on time for my appointment.

As it was, I walked into the physiotherapy/rehabilitation department at the CKHA at 10:11 and was greeted warmly.

Thirty minutes later, I started undergoing tests.

I was at the hospital because for several months, my right shoulder would periodically “buzz.” It would happen as I drove, and most annoyingly as I tried to fall asleep in my recliner.

As many know, I spend about half the night snoozing in my recliner because of my back and hip discomfort, and the other half horizontal in bed.

But since late summer, as I nodded off in the chair, my shoulder’s irritation would snap me awake.

I don’t know if the irritation was from time spent in front of a computer at work, time spent playing video games (hey, I hurt my left wrist once with a stupid video game due to the repetition of thumb movements for one element of the game), or if it was just the way I slept in the recliner.

Maybe it was all of the above.

Tracking down nerve buzzing a tough task Continued from page 6

I finally took to putting a pillow under my right elbow, propping it up a bit and taking any gravitational pressure off my shoulder.

It seemed to really help.

So I explain everything to the lovely woman who performed an EMG (electromyography) on me, testing both arms from the elbows on down by applying varying strengths of electrical

currents. She measured distances along my forearms, along my hands and fingers, and connected three electrodes to my hand at various points.

Then she took out the “shocker,” a two-pronged device that she used to literally shock me at numerous points along my wrists and elbows.

With the spin of a dial on the device, she could deftly change the current level until she obtained

The voice of young people The Chatham Voice

The first Chatham-Kent to the Power of Young People, (aged 15-39) – CKy Advisory Group has been formed to gather and share the voice of young people.

The CKy Advisory Group was created by the Municipality of Chatham-Kent’s Resident Attraction and Retention area as a response to 2017 CKy survey findings that showed only 22 per cent of young people feel their contributions to Chatham-Kent are valued.

After opening applications to those aged 15 to 39, 14 members have been selected from across Chatham-Kent to lead the CKy Advisory Group.

“As we continue our efforts to prepare Chatham-Kent for 2035 and beyond, it is exciting to have a group of young people ready and willing to provide input on how we can all work together

to make Chatham-Kent and even better place to live,” Resident Attraction and Retention Co-ordinator Victoria Bodnar said in a media release.

The first CKy Advisory Group is made up of April Colby and Morgan Belleau representing Ward 1; Stephen Marklevitz and Spencer Stinson for Ward 2; Morena McDonald and Laura Wheeler for Ward 3; Delaney Hart and Ye Chen for Ward 4, Emma King and Eric VanDamme for Ward 5; and Colin Chrysler, Evan Rogers, Jennifer H. and Meg Lyttle-Catton for Ward 6.

The CKy Advisory Group will review existing reports on the feedback from Chatham-Kent young people, determine an ongoing engagement plan with young people across Chatham-Kent, decide on priority items, identify community partnership opportunities, and communicate with council.

the desired twitch in my hand.

It didn’t hurt, and I was curious more than anything, but some people might find it uncomfortable. Having experienced a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) machine courtesy of my chiropractor, Dr. Steve, I’m quite familiar with the feeling of current running into my body.

But the EMG sends the current straight to various nerves, causing spastic reactions in the thumb, hand and fingers. It is weird seeing your hand twitch when your elbow is zapped, but, again, it wasn’t painful.

The tests were over in no time, and according to the technician and Dr. Clifford, they showed no problems.

The doc then ran me through some motor and strength tests for my arms and hands. He was perplexed as nothing indicated any problems.

As I type this, I have a very slight buzzing right in the back of my shoulder socket, but it is not as bad as it was.

Whatever I’ve been doing, the doc advised me to keep doing it, as the

issue seems to be clearing up – to the point they can’t even find it.

I’ve asked Mary not to give me “that look” when I ask her to pass me a pillow to put under my arm, as it seems to be helping.

I’m sure I’ll still get “that look,” however, as I do enough odd things that leave her wondering what is going on in my head.

Concert to support homeless

By Sarah Schofield sarah@chathamvoice.com

Local musical talent is giving a helping hand to Chatham Hope Haven with a free Christmas Benefit Concert.

Taking place on Nov. 24, the concert will be held at First Presbyterian Church in Chatham at 60 Fifth St. With an elevator available, the 7 p.m. family concert will feature a range of local talents including the Chatham-Kent Christian Men’s Choir, directed by Barb Sargent, and accompanied by pianist Joan Lugtigheid.

Accordionist Ron Bolohan, vocalist and guitarist Chuck Zuidema, and vocalist Al DeLaet will also be on hand alongside the Presbyterian Church’s Praise Team leading the carol singing, as well as their organists/pianists

Alex Van Pelt and Adam Shaw and Emmanuel Baptist’s Youth Praise Team Band, Cracked Voices.

The proceeds from local community sponsors and donations from the concert’s open collection will go to supporting homeless men at the haven.

Operating seven days a week from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., the haven provides much needed referrals for community resources, supper, breakfast, access to showers and laundry facilities.

Located at 183 Wellington St. W., Chatham Hope Haven is celebrating its one-year anniversary on Nov. 21 and relies on the help of their interdenominational volunteers and donations.

Operating on a first come, first serve basis, the haven currently has

The C-K Christian Men’s Choir along with guitarist/vocalist Chuck Zuidema, organist Adam Shaw and other talented musicians will be performing at the Christmas Benefit Concert on Nov. 24 at First Presbyterian Church. The freewill offering and donations from the free concert will support the homeless men at Chatham Hope Haven who are provided meals, showers, and community resources.

10 overnight cot spaces available, a number they hope to increase once their fire alarm system is ready.

The Chatham-Kent Christian Men’s Choir,

Daylight Point at Prestancia coming to you from Maple City Homes

formed in 2000, is no stranger to offering its voices to support a worthy cause, including previous fundraising concerts for NeighbourLink CK, Chatham Outreach for Hunger and the Chatham-Kent Hospice.

In addition to benefit concerts, the choir, which is always open to new members, participates in church services, Christ-

mas programs and singing at nursing homes.

“We were so very pleased that they approached us,” said the haven’s coordinator of communications Wanda Bell, of their eagerness to make a difference.

“We are thrilled that the community supports the haven in so many ways, and hope that everyone will come out to enjoy a

lovely Christmas musical event and support the good work that is being done for the most vulnerable in our community,” said Bell in a press release.

Those who are looking to sponsor the event or provide a donation of food, toiletries or money can call the shelter at 519-351-4010 or visit chathamhopehaven.com for more information.

The Chatham Voice

for the Chatham-Kent Local Immigration Partnership, said in a media release.

The event is being held on Nov. 10 at the Canadian Belgium Dutch Club in Wallaceburg from 1 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.

There will be performances from the Portuguese Club’s Folklore Group, Cornell School of Irish Dance, the Chatham-Kent Asian Cultural Association, and Bkejwanong Walpole Island First Nation.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to sample cultural foods from vendors.

Admission to this event is free. The food sampling is optional and will cost $5.

“Over 60 languages are spoken in Chatham-Kent, so we know we are a culturally rich community.

As we work towards the goals in CK Plan 2035 and to attract and retain residents, events such as this are vital in helping us celebrate the essence and fabric of our community – our people and their heritage” Audrey Ansell, the Manager of Community Attraction and Promotion with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, said in a release.

This event is supported by several local area agencies, including the Chatham-Kent Local Immigration Partnership and the Wallaceburg and District Chamber of Commerce.

One hundred years of remembrance This year marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that brought the First World War and its four years of armed conflict to an end. On November 11, 1918, representatives of France, Great Britain and Germany met in a railway carriage in France to sign the historic document, paving the way for the peace negotiations that would culminate in the Treaty of Versailles, a document drafted five months later.

The anniversary of the Armistice was observed the next year in Great Britain and this tradition quickly spread to the other Allied Nations. The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day, but member states of the Commonwealth of Nations like Canada eventually adopted the name Remembrance Day. We commemorate on this date not only citizens who fought in the First World War but also those who fought in the Second World

War and every other war and peace­keeping mission since.

Although the Allies won the conflict, Armistice Day wasn’t a day of unabashed celebration.

Given the unspeakable horrors and death tolls in World War I, and likewise in World War II, November 11 became a day of solemn commemoration. Hence the two minutes of silence we observe on this date, a tradition that goes back to the very first Armistice Day commemoration, in 1919.

Three ways of understanding Canada’s war contributions

Living in a peaceful country like Canada, it’s easy to forget the wars of the 20th century in which our country’s freedom and harmony hung in the balance. On Remembrance Day, and throughout the year, we should engage with this past so that we can better appreciate the great sacrifices made by Canadians in these devastating conflicts. Here are a few good ways to reconnect with this history.

1. Visit a war memorial There are over 6,000 war memorials in Canada, each with a unique story and signi­ficance. These affecting and artistic constructions will inspire you to reflect

on the soldiers who dedicated themselves to various war efforts and the histories they represent.

2. Discover the history To wholly appreciate the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers, we need to know who they were and why they were fighting.

One way of learning about this is by visiting one of Canada’s many military and war museums. Another way is by reading about the history. Some good places to start your research are the Military Heritage section of the Library and Archives Canada website and the History section of the Veteran Affairs Canada website.

3. Speak with and support Canada’s veterans Veterans are usually happy to tell you about their military experience. By talking with them you’ll gratify their need to share their personal stories and also learn a meaningful bit of history you can keep alive by passing on to others. Additionally, you can support veterans in financial need by donating to organizations like the Royal Canadian Legion and VETS Canada. Visit their websites — legion.ca and vetscanda.org — for more information.

In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

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.

In recognition of all Veterans who made sacrifices to serve and protect our freedom, please take a few moments to stop and remember them, at the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month.

MPP excited about natural gas expansion

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

About 40 percent of people in Southwestern Ontario don’t have access to natural gas to heat their homes and businesses.

The provincial government, led by the Minister of Infrastructure, who also happens to be a local MPP, hopes to change that.

The Access to Natural Gas Act passed second reading in the Legislature last week.

Monte McNaughton, MPP for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex and Minister of Infrastructure for the Ford government, said the Act is an important piece of legislation for people in rural, remote and Northern Ontario locations.

“It was a priority for us

during the election. We moved quickly to introduce this legislation to get to work expanding natural gas in Ontario,” McNaughton said. “It received all-party support for the second reading.”

McNaughton said the legislation would open up natural gas availability to dozens of communities and thousands of people.

“If and when it passes, nearly 80 communities and 33,000 people will have access to natural gas who didn’t before,” he said.

If passed, Bill 32 would allow government to create a new natural gas program that would encourage private gas distributors to partner with communities to develop projects that expand access to natural gas.

McNaughton added it

would be up to the municipalities and the private sector as to how the expansion will take place.

“They’ll determine which communities will go first. There has to be a business case for communities to get natural gas,” he said.

Residences and businesses on oil, propane or electric heat could see large savings on their monthly heating bills if they switch over to natural gas.

Switching to natural gas can save an average residential customer between $800 and $2,500 a year, according to a Ford government media release.

WSO coming to Chatham The Chatham Voice

The Windsor Symphony Orchestra (WSO) will open its 2018-19 season in Chatham with a 1918 Remembered concert on Nov. 9.

This is the first of three concerts that the WSO will present in its 2018-2019 season at St. Andrews United Church in Chatham.

The WSO has created a moving Remembrance Day program to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War when Germany signed an armistice with the Allied forces in 1918.

Featuring WSO Concertmaster Lillian Scheirich and the Windsor Classic Chorale, the performance pays tribute to those who experiCANADA’S FAVOURITE enced the horror and devastation of the First World War. The program will include Sonata for Violin and Piano, Suite in G for

RIBS

String Quartet and Petite Suite for Bassoon and Piano all composed by Jacques de La Presle. Bob Chilcott’s Move Him Into the Sun for Chamber Orchestra and Chorus will feature the Windsor Classic Chorale.

Tickets are $25 in advance from St. Andrew’s United Church office (519-352-0010), the Chatham Cultural Centre box office or CKtickets. com. Tickets at the door are $30.

McNaughton said the expansion of natural gas into rural areas means huge potential for the greenhouse industry.

“One of the greatest signals we can send is that we are open for business,” he said.

The legislation was actually announced in Sep-

tember when the premier attended the International Plowing Match & Rural Expo in Pain Court.

Ford said the proposed new bill would be good for the rural economy.

“This legislation will allow businesses to grow, putting more money back in the pockets of the peo-

ple of Ontario,” he said in a media release.

McNaughton said the government is also proceeding with its plans to scrap the cap and trade program on emissions, adding that is another cost savings for homeowners, businesses and participating greenhouses.

NOVEMBER 6 TO 12, 2018

Helping seniors stay safe on the internet During National Senior Safety Week, which takes place annually from November 6 to 12, the Canada Safety Council (CSC) shines a light on issues affecting Canadian seniors’ health, independence and safety. The CSC’s awareness campaign this year focuses on digital security for seniors. Working alongside Telus Wise, the organization Meadow is strivingPark to provide seniors with Chatham relevant educational resources and programs.

This past spring 2018

offer seniors free, in-store workshops on digital security. Information can be found on the Telus Wise Seniors webpage (wise.telus.com/wiseseniors).

For those who prefer learning from home, the webpage provides a treasure trove of tips for using the internet and smartphones safely. Especially valuable is the Telus Wise Seniors Guide, which addresses such topics as creating secure internet passwords and shopping on reputable websites.

INTERNET USE BY SENIORS IS ON THE RISE The percentage of internet-users older than 65 is on the rise. According to the 2016 General Social Survey conducted

by Statistics Canada, from 2013 to 2016 the number of internet users rose from 65 to 81 per cent among Canadians aged 65 to 74 and from 35 to 50 per cent among Canadians aged 75 and over.
