From the President’s Desk
In the Fall 2011 edition of the Renaissance magazine, there is an
invitation to contribute to the RTO/ERO Charitable Foundation in Geriatric
Medicine. RTO/ERO is the leader in funding an ‘Endowed Chair’ in
Geriatric Medicine which will be located at the University of Toronto.
The benefits of having a Chair in Geriatric medicine are to increase
education and research in geriatric medicine, to foster a new generation
of doctors specializing in geriatric issues, and to ensure more ‘senior
friendly’ health care in the province. The foundation’s goal is to raise
three million dollars in the next 3 years from members, sponsors, and
corporations.
RTO/ERO is encouraging all members to contribute to this worthwhile
cause. The foundation is a registered charity and all donors will receive
an income tax receipt. The donation form can be found in the information
envelope that came with the Renaissance magazine. Any contribution
that you can make will go a long way in improving the quality of life of
seniors in Ontario and across Canada.
In conclusion, the members of your Executive Board and I would like to
wish you a very Happy New Year. May the year 2012 be full of happiness,
health and prosperity for each of you.

Mot du président
Dans l’édition automnale du magazine Renaissance, il y a une invitation à contribuer à la Fondation
de bienfaisance ERO/RTO en médecine gériatrique. ERO/ RTO est un chef de file dans le financement
d’une Chaire de gériatrie qui sera localisée à l’Université de Toronto. La création d’une Chaire en
médecine gériatrique vise à recueillir des fonds afin d’augmenter le nombre de professionnels ainsi que
le personnel de soutien formé et qualifié en soins gériatriques, de même qu’à financer la recherche et
des programmes visant à améliorer la qualité de vie des aînés. Au cours des trois prochaines années,
la Fondation s’impliquera dans un projet initial important en vue d’amasser 3 millions $ auprès des
membres, des organisations corporatives et de ses commanditaires.
C’est pourquoi ERO/RTO encourage tous ses membres à donner généreusement à cette belle cause. La
fondation est un organisme de bienfaisance enregistré et tous les donateurs recevront un reçu d’impôt.
Le formulaire de don peut être trouvé dans l’enveloppe d’information qui accompagne le magazine
Renaissance. Toute contribution que vous pouvez faire fera une différence dans l’amélioration de la
qualité de vie des aînés de l’Ontario et du reste du Canada.
En terminant, au nom de tous les membres de votre conseil exécutif d’ERO/RTO, veuillez accepter nos
vœux les plus chaleureux pour une année exceptionnelle. Que la nouvelle année 2012 déborde de
bonheur, de santé et de prospérité pour chacun et chacune d’entre vous.
Terry Martyn

Rules for Clotheslines
I can hear my mother now ...
1. Hang the clothes in a certain order, and always hang “whites” with “whites,” and hang them first.
2. Never hang a shirt by the shoulders - always by the tail! What would the neighbours think?
3. Wash day on a Monday! Never hang clothes on the weekend, or Sunday, for Heaven’s sake!
4. It doesn’t matter if it is sub zero weather ... the clothes will “freeze-dry.”
5. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down dry clothes! Pins left on the lines are “tacky!”
6. Line the clothes up so that each item did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the
clothes pins with the next washed item.
7. Clothes must be off of the line before dinner time, neatly folded in the clothes basket, and ready
to be ironed.
Carnet de voyage
“There’s nothing like…Australia”. Ce pays,
près de la taille des É.-U. est ainsi appelé pour ses
matières premières, son soleil et ses paysages. La
réputation de ses côtes avec sa Grande Barrière
de Corail fait concurrence aux horizons larges du
désert intérieur. On commence notre voyage sur
la côte sud. Melbourne, classée comme la ville la
plus habitable du monde en 2011 et la 2ème ville
la plus peuplée d’Australie est une ville cosmopolite
et conviviale. Nous nous sommes promenés dans
les jardins formels, avons marché le long de la paresseuse rivière Yarra, pris le tram sur le Circle Tour,
observé les gens et les calèches à Federation Square et magasiné dans les boutiques fines des ruelles
et arcades attrayantes de la ville.
Notre prochain rendez-vous est l’Outback, c’est-à-dire les grands espaces au centre du pays, composé
d’un paysage semi-aride de brousse, de terres rouges et de rochers. Alice Springs, ville du désert,
a, superché au-dessus de la plaine, Ayers Rock (Uluru), le plus gros rocher du monde. C’est un
monolithe de grès et la montagne sacrée des Aborigènes. Nous avons eu la chance rare de voir Ayers
Rock au lever et au coucher du soleil, à la pluie et pour terminer, avec 2 arcs-en-ciel comme chapeau!
Puis on se rend à Cairns, sur la côte est pour découvrir la Grande Barrière de Corail (sur la liste du
Patrimoine mondial) ; nous observons les multiples sortes de corail et de faune grâce à un bateau à
fond de verre. Cette visite pourrait justifier à elle seule notre voyage! À l’aide d’un téléphérique, nous
planons au-dessus d’une ancienne forêt tropicale; on a pu vivre une expérience intime en entendant,
sentant et marchant dans cette vieille forêt.
Nous terminons notre visite du pays avec Sydney, sa capitale. Celle-ci a un cachet non-seulement
pour l’architecture de son Opera House mais pour sa baie entourée de restos, de bars, de jardins et de
zoos, son vieux quartier (Rocks), son pont et ses espaces de verdure. Nous avons eu de la chance en
allant voir l’opéra «Don Giovanni» de Mozart.
Quelques heures de vol et nous sommes en Nouvelle-Zélande. Ce pays, près de la taille de
l’Angleterre, a été baptisé la terre du long nuage blanc par les premiers Maoris. On a bien aimé
la cité-jardin de Christchurch. Comme c’était le printemps, il y avait des fleurs partout. Les dégâts
causés par le tremblement de terre de février dernier étaient d’une tristesse à voir. Ils ont beaucoup de
reconstruction à entreprendre.
On a eu l’occasion de prendre un repas typique (gigot d’agneau, pavlova) avec une famille très
accueillante. L’île du sud est belle et montagneuse. En autobus, nous croisons le pays, de l’ouest à
l’est puis de l’est à l’ouest. On se rend voir le glacier Franz Josef, le
fjord Milford Sound, le Mt Cook (3 754m), une ferme de moutons,
la chaîne de montagnes Remarkables et un vignoble.
Queenstown est une ville touristique qui se situe sur le bord
du lac Wakatipu et a des vues spectaculaires sur les montagnes
voisines. Étant des amateurs des films Seigneur des Anneaux, nous
prenons une sortie en jeep afin de voir les sites où ont été tournées
les scènes. Étant aussi la capitale de l’aventure, on en profite de
prendre un tour de jetboat sur la rivière Shotover. Lors d’un souper,
nous avons eu un spectacle haka Maori – une danse chantée avant de partir à la guerre ou avant le jeu
de rugby des All Blacks! Nous avons apprécié la diversité des scènes pastorales, les vallées vertes, les
moutons, les montagnes tellement majestueuses, les lacs de la Nouvelle-Zélande.
Notre voyage se termine avec un arrêt dans une station balnéaire dans les îles Fiji, là où le rythme est
relaxe, au pas du soleil des tropiques. C’est loin, mais ça n’en vaut la peine!
Travel Journal
“There’s nothing like...Australia”. This country, about the
size of the U.S. is thus called for its raw materials, the sun and
scenery. The reputation of the coast, with its Great Barrier Reef
competes with the wide horizons of the interior desert.
Our trip starts on the southern coast. We found Melbourne,
ranked as the world’s most livable city in 2011 and the second
most populous city in Australia to be a cosmopolitan and
friendly city. We strolled through formal gardens, walked by the
lazy Yarra river, took a tram on the Circle tour, watched people
and horse-drawn carriages at Federation Square and shopped at fine boutiques in the attractive lanes
and arcades of the city. Our next rendezvous was the Outback, the great outdoors area in the center
of the country. It is a landscape composed of semi-arid bush of red earth and rocks. Alice Springs,
the city of the desert, has above the plain, Ayers Rock (Uluru). This sandstone monolith is the world’s
largest rock and a sacred mountain for the Aborigines. We had the rare chance of seeing Ayers Rock at
sunrise and sunset, during rain and finally, with two rainbows above it!
Then we went to Cairns, on the east coast to explore the Great Barrier Reef, a World Heritage site;
we saw many kinds of coral and fauna in a glass bottom boat. This aquatic expedition justified the trip
alone! Using a system of gondolas, we hovered over an ancient rainforest; we were able to hear, smell
and walk in an old forest next to the city.
We ended our tour of the country with Sydney, the capital. The architecture of its Opera House, the
bay’s restaurants, bars, gardens and zoos, its old neighborhood (Rocks), its bridge and its green spaces
are very worthwhile to explore. We were also fortunate enough to attend the opera “Don Giovanni”
by Mozart.
After a flight of a few hours, we are in New Zealand,
the “land of the long white cloud” as the first Maori had
named it! This country which is about the size of England
has Christchurch, the “Garden City”. Since it was spring,
there were flowers everywhere. The damage caused by the
earthquake of February was heartbreaking to look at. They have
a lot of rebuilding to undertake. We had the opportunity to be
invited to a typical meal (lamb, Pavlova) with a very welcoming
family. The South Island is as beautiful and mountainous as the
Alps. By coach, we crossed the country from west to east
and from east to west. We went to see the Franz Josef Glacier, Milford Sound fjord, Mt Cook (3 754m),
a sheep farm, the Remarkables mountain range and a vineyard.
Queenstown is a tourist town which is located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and has spectacular
views of nearby mountains. As fans of the films Lord of the Rings, we took a jeep to see the locations
where the scenes were shot. Being also the adventure capital, we took the opportunity to take a jet
boat tour on the Shotover River. At dinner, we had a haka Maori show - a dance sung before going to
war or before an All Blacks rugby game! We much appreciated the variety of pastoral scenes, the green
valleys, the sheep, the majestic mountains, the lakes of New Zealand.
We ended our trip with a stop at a beach resort in the Fiji Islands, where the pace is relaxed, and the
sun is oh so tropical. It was very far to travel but oh so worth it!

Patience Please...
Yes, it’s me again, your TEAM RTO/ERO RELAY FOR LIFE captain. Most of you are quite familiar with
the following information but for our newer members, it’s a first. Quite a few years ago, our local RTO/
ERO became involved in the Canadian Cancer Society’s RELAY FOR LIFE. Although many members are
involved with various organizations, the RELAY is the one event where we participate under the name
RTO/ERO District 4.
The RELAY is always held on the first Friday in June. In 2012, it’s on June 1st. As team captain, I
hope to see you there. The RELAY runs from 7 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday but most of us drop in,
walk around the track, chat and munch in our huge tent and then head for home well before Saturday
morning.
There are only two more RTO/ERO meetings where you can obtain your pledge form or donate. So if
you are interested in joining the team call me (705 524-1077) to register and start collecting. Take
down the name, complete address, telephone number and amount donated. The following information
includes more details about that night.
Where? Cambrian College track
Who? YOU, your family and friends are encouraged to join our RTO/ERO team. Our Relay team are not all RTO/ERO members. All are welcome to join us.
How to join? Every person who joins the team:
* pays a $10 registration fee (Cancer Society requirement). Registration can be made and fees paid at one of our meetings or call Cécile Archambault at 705 524-1077 to make arrangements.
* tries to collect at least $100.00 from sponsors. The Cancer Society issues a receipt for donations of $20.00 or more.
RTO/ERO’s Tent: Our Meeting Place (sponsored by our local RTO/ERO)
-There is a food concession tent but most of us usually bring food, munchies... for sharing.
Survivors’ Lap: 7 p.m. Friday night
The first lap is dedicated to cancer survivors. Family and friends usually gather around the track to acknowledge the survivors.
Luminaries:
Candles ($5.00 per candle) are placed around the track in memory of family members and friends or in honour of survivors (even yourself). The candles are lit for the 10 p.m. luminary ceremony when all participants are asked to meet on the track and observe a
moment of silence.
WHAT TO DO WITH DONATIONS, LUMINARY ENVELOPE AND SURVIVOR’S FORMS?
All monies, luminary forms, envelopes and survivor forms must be returned in the pledge form

BIEN OUI! DE LA PATIENCE S.V.P.
Et oui, c’est encore moi, la capitaine de l’équipe ERO/RTO Relais pour la vie. Je viens solliciter ton aide.
Pour plusieurs, cet article c’est vieux jeu mais pour les ‘jeunes’ membres, c’est du nouveau. Quelques
années passées, nous avons décidé de participer au RELAIS POUR LA VIE qui est organisé par la
Société canadienne du cancer. Plusieurs de nos membres sont impliqués dans de divers organismes
mais le Relais est la seule activité où nous participons sous le sigle de RTO/ERO District 4.
Le Relais a toujours lieu le premier vendredi de juin et en 2012, c’est le vendredi 1er juin. J’espère
bien te voir ce soir-là. Le Relais commence à 19 h 00 le vendredi soir pour se terminer à 7 h 00 le
samedi matin. Nous marchons, nous jasons dans notre immense tente, nous grignotons et puis nous
partons bien avant le lever du soleil.
Si tu veux te joindre à l’équipe ou faire un don, il ne reste plus que deux rencontres ERO/RTO avant
le RELAIS. Appelle-moi (705 524-1077) pour me signaler ton désir de te joindre à l’équipe et ensuite
commence à ramasser les fonds. Pour chaque contribution, prends note du nom, de l’adresse au
complet, du numéro de téléphone et du montant contribué. Plus de détails sont fournis ci-dessous.
Où? Piste du Collège Cambrian
Qui? Toi, ta famille et tes ami(e)s sont invités à se joindre à l équipe ERO/RTO.
Les membres de notre équipe ne sont pas nécessairement des membres de ERO/RTO.
Comment s’inscrire? Chaque personne qui s’inscrit:
-doit payer 10 $ à titre de frais d’inscription (somme exigée par la Société du cancer). Par téléphone ou lors de nos rencontres, tu peux t’inscrire et inscrire les membres de ta famille et tes ami(e)s qui veulent participer.
-essaie de ramasser au moins 100 $ en commanditaires. La Société émet un reçu pour tous les dons de 20 $ ou plus.
Tente RTO/ERO: Notre lieu de rencontre (tente parrainée par notre regroupement ERO/RTO)
Il y a un casse-croûtes sur les lieux mais la majorité de nos participant(e)s apportent de la nourriture et des traites qui sont généralement partagées.
Tour de piste des survivantes et des survivants: 19 h le vendredi soir
Le premier tour de piste est dédié aux survivant(e)s.
La famille et les ami(e)s se rassemblent autour de la piste comme témoignage de support et d’encouragement et/ou en souvenir de personnes qui ont succombé au cancer.
Luminaires:
Des bougies (5,00$ chacune) dédiées à la mémoire de membres de la famille et ami(e)s ou en l’honneur des survivant(e)s sont placées autour de la piste et sont allumées pour la cérémonie de 22 h. Tous les participants se rendent sur le terrain intérieur de la piste et observent quelques minutes de silence.
Que faire de l’argent des commanditaires, des luminaires et des formulaires des survivant(e)s?
Les dons, tous les formulaires et argent pour les luminaires doivent être retournés
par: le vendredi, 25 mai, 2012

À l’aide…
La Société Canadienne du Cancer de Sudbury est à la recherche de volontaires pour conduire sa
clientèle à leurs rendez-vous. Un exemple de cette grande générosté est Gilles Allard. Avant sa mort, il
a été un volontaire près de 25 ans avec la Société.
Pour plus de renseignements, lis la demande ci-dessous.
Help wanted…
Join the fight against cancer and provide a ride to treatment.
Up until his recent death, one of our members, Gilles Allard, dedicated almost 25 years to the Cancer
Society as a volunteer driver. Such selflessness is indeed commendable.
The Canadian Cancer Society of Sudbury is again recruiting volunteer drivers to drive cancer clients to
and from their cancer-related medical appointments.
Mileage reimbursement is provided. Training is provided.
So far this year, 969 clients have been assisted by volunteer drivers in Sudbury and the demand for this
service is growing.
If you are interested in becoming such a driver, please call the Sudbury & District Office at
705-670-1234.
