Rideau Centennial School Committee The Rideau Centennial School Committee had its January meet- ing on Wednesday, January 16. All matters with regard to the new playground were settled. Other business was also dis- cussed. Plans for the family dance on Friday, January 25 were final- ized. Grades 1 to 3 provided a short program. Future programs were outlined. The next event will be a school and community talent night some- time in February. The next school committee meeting will be held on Wednesâ€" day, February 6 at 7:30 p.m. A very successful Family Dance sponsored by the School Committee was held at Rideau Centennial Public School last Friday night. 150 people of all ages (babes in arms to grandparents) enjoyed a programme put on by the primary children, danced to disco music, attempted Square dancing, tried to win a cake in the Cake Walk, visited and just generally had a great time. All agreed the Family Dance was a fun night and should become an annual event. The Royal Canadian Legion Rideau Lakes Branch 231 Royal Canadian Legion convened a seminar at Portâ€" land Community Hall on Jan. 16th to provide veterans and their dependents with information about pensions and benefits to which they have access. Mr. Gordon Lindsay, District Director of Veterans Allowance Canada, King- ston District, Mr. Paul Lameroux, Admin. Officer - pensions, Canadian Pension Commission, Ottawa, and Mr. Robert Clark, Supervisor, Counselling Services, Kingston District, Veterans Allowance Canada (DVA) attended. Each spoke briefly and answered questions afterwards. Mr. Lindsay spoke on proposed legis- lative changes, a new geriatric program, the Benevolent Fund (army) pensioners orphan's assistance for higher educa- tion and CPP effects on pensions and superannuation. Mr. Lameroux said that the C.P.C. is an independent body with a chain of responsibility to the Minister; spoke about Bill C 28 which had re- ceived lst reading before the govern- ment fell, said that if it passed, a spouse whose partner was in receipt of a pension of 38% or more would get 50% of the amount of the deceased spouse's pension; that Prisoners of War who were in prison camp or evading capture for more than 3 months are eligible for pensions of from 10% to 20%; of a stabilization policy that would ensure that pensions being paid to those under 55 years of age cannot be reduced (at present pensions being paid to those over 55 cannot be reduced). Mr. Clark advised that veterans in receipt of a pension are eligible for all medical services if hospitalized and that upon being hospitalized they should immediately notify Veterans Allowance Canada. Veterans in receipt of War Veterans Allowance have OHIP provided until age 65 as well as hosâ€" pital and medical care and prescribed medicines (glasses and dental care may be provided - authorization must first be secured). Dependents are not eligi- ble for these services. Speaking on aging, Mr. Clark said that in 1978 - 78.1% of veterans were under 65 years of age, in 1989 - 25.4% of veterans will be under 65 years of age, and in 2000 - k of 1% of vet- erans will be under 65 years of age. He said that each of the 17 districts in Canada is setting up teams (doc- tors, nurses, counsellors) to ensure that veterans will receive maximum benefits as veterans as well as max- imum benefits from other agencies and to ensure that veterans take advan- tage of the benefits available. He said that there will not be sufficient medical and treatment services avail- able to meet the needs of those over age 65. During the question period, those in attendance (about 50 or more) were advised that; Pensions are paid as a matter of right, disability pen- sions are not effected by payment of C.P.P. but W.V.A. is effected on a dollar for dollar basis; when draw- ing Old Age Security, there is an exemption for C.P.P. and when drawing 0.A.S. and Guaranteed Income Sup- plement $35.00 is not assessed; Pensioners must apply for both Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement at age 65. Many veterans raised questions of concern to them or to their friends or relatives and all appeared to get the information they sought. After the meeting adjourned several veterans had an opportunity to talk to the visitors about individual 1 problems. Refreshments were supplied and served by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion Rideau / Lakes Branch 231. llltlli’ f REE, FLOWW Pumps ho! air uilhoul rleclricil) Uniform dislrihulion of heat Ihroughoul lht‘ house Adaplahle In misting hol air s)\ll’m('unlrnlled hurn “ilhuul lhermmlul A Safe.pusiliw door lalthing mechanixm H ,..
