This column is written at a time when Christmas and New Year's are in the air. I always have difficulty deciding whether to write about the emotions of good cheer and sharing of Christmas, or the sober reflections and new resolutions of yet another turn of the calendar.... Generally, I rail on about the goofy politics of the past year (say, the arming of ter- rorists by Ronny Reagan, the sleazy patronage of Brian, or the legislation of David Peterson), and then I go on to some entirely native resolu- tion of action for the New Year. I also, general- ly, in good fun, make reference to my mother in one way or another -- not simply to make a point but specifically to embarrass her, or to poke fun at her or me or both of us. I'm not sure why I do it, except that I am proud of her, and in.writing my columns I like to keep them personal and down toearth. - - This is a particularly sad time of year for me in that my mother died not long ago, and Christmas was a time when we got together and endured each other for up to an entire week. We were quite competitive and a full week together without a break was sufficient for both of us, but we loved eachjother without qualification and we were best friends. Mother was a wonderful leader and touched many of those people around her -- not so much with her opinions but her way. She made you feel good about yourself. She made you want to do better...to try harder, to be more honest, How much do you know about hockey of old? Here's some trivia By Bill Le Grand 6. Mud Bruneteau scored the winn- MICHAEL R.

Answers: Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, January 21, 1987, page 13 President of Laurentian Publishing says roots should not be forgotten Mother also hated to do dishes and to her dy- ing day thought (she wouldn't admit this) it was beneath her to indulge in such idle pastimes. It was one of her many minor failings. Unlike many sons and daughters, I was lucky in that I knew how good she was before she died and I told her so. | knew how important she was to my growth and development, and thanked her for it in spite of what I considered to be mildly neurotic tendencies in her -- including her. constant reminder to me to wear my galloshes. Although we did not spend a tremendous amount of time together in recent years, we talked on the phone all the time. I have been writing columns of one kind or another for about 13 years and very few reached her stan- dards. Among other things she taught business communications at Ryerson Polytechnical In- Stitute in Toronto and her assessments of my - work Varied from "crap" to wishy-washy to great. She liked columns in which I tied my per- sonal experience to an opinion or observation. She also likedcolumns (even when they were poorly written) in which ¥ took a stand on something that was important to me or to those around me. More than a few times I would call her at some ungodly hour (usually between 2 and 4 in the morning when I was wrapping up my col- umn) to ask her how to spell' antecedent or some other word that I had never encountered and which I was so unfamiliar with I didn't even know sufficient letters to look it up in the dic- tionary.... She would always wake up and, without complaint, spell the word, and then she'd hang up...only to get angry with me two or three days later when she remembered the intrusion. I always thought I saw my mother through rose-coloured glasses, and on more remorseful days thought perhaps I suffered an Oedipus complex (I am her only child) till I met her friends and colleagues after her death. It seems they knew the same person I did. In fact, mother's colleagues at Ryerson Polytechnical have set up an annual Award of Excellence in her name and it has made me very proud indeed. I share this with you in remorse but with pride and dignity. If you are in business as I am, you are likely preoccupied with the ups and downs of your enterprise. You are undoubtedly con- sumed by detail and the everyday disappoint- ments that are a part of achieving in our socie- ty. It can be addictive and all-consuming. Do not forget who you are and where you are from. Stay in touch with your family and loved ones. To limit your ambitions would be unnatural and unhealthy, but don't ever let your ambition and busyness suffocate your roots. I Say that with the happy knowledge that this was one area where I have been able to take my own advice over the years... DEPUTY CLERK - TREASURER THE TOWNSHIP OF TERRACE BAY Few hockey fans can recall the clubs of the past which competed for the Stanley Cup.
