CARD program allows Toronto resident to saddle up again

hen Janet MacNeil was younger, chances were you could find her in

the stables. "Riding has always been my passion," the Etobicoke resident said. She previously owned two horses which were kept at a stable in Kleinburg, and any opportunity she had to be with them, she took. MacNeil sold the horses when she was 25, and 16 years later her life would take a drastic turn when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at age 41. "It came on suddenly and very fast," she recalled. "I was completely paralyzed within a month." MacNeil was able to regain most of her mobility four months later, crediting Pilates and yoga to help strengthen her muscles. Nine years ago, the 61-yearold found herself back in the saddle as a client of the Community Association for Riders with Disabilities (CARD), a therapeutic riding program spread out over 3.5 acres in G. Ross Lord Park off Dufferin Street, south of Steeles Avenue. The charitable, nonprofit organization opened in 1969, when it was run out of a private stable north of Toronto. Ten years later, it moved to the North York park, where it has remained. Opening ceremonies were attended by Princess Anne on Nov. 16, 1979. The facility is fully accessible and includes four paddocks, administrative offices and a lounge, a 19-horse barn with wash stall, a tack room and a heated indoor arena. Offered to riders aged four

ses include rider balance exercises and following of verbal commands. "Cognitively, it keeps me sharp," MacNeil said of the classes. "It’s good for spatial awareness. It’s good for my posture, core, hips. And the volunteers and teachers, I can’t say enough about them. I feel so safe." Penny Smith, executive director of CARD, said clients have a range of disabilities, including physical and intellectual, adding any given week some 98 to 112 riders take classes. Fifteen horses are currently in use at CARD, which operates with the help of 120 volunteers and five full-time employees. And save for $60,000 given to CARD annually by the Ministry of Community and Social Services, "everything else we fundraise ourselves," Smith said, adding donations are always welcome. The cost to maintain one therapy horse for a year, including maintenance, veterinary and hoof care expenses, equipment and food, is about $9,000. Seana Waldon, CARD’s director of therapeutic riding services, said clients benefit from riding in the form of better balance, range of motion, increased core strength and confidence. "You don’t have to think about your body because it’s being moved for you," she said. For information or to donate, call 416-667-8600.

EDUCATION

FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com A commitment from the minister of education to work together with the community and Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to find solutions to overcrowding in Willowdale schools did little to address concerns about the issue, said a local trustee. Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter met with parents and school officials last week to discuss the situation during a public meeting held at Earl Haig Secondary School. "The sense we got at the meeting was that the ministry is committing to nothing new and is content with the status quo," Willowdale Trustee Alexander Brown said in an email. "Parents feel very differently about that and I do as well." Brown previously told The Mirror one tool to help with the solution is Educa-

tion Development Charges (EDC) for new space - except under current rules, it’s unavailable within the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). EDCs enable a school board to collect money from developers to buy new land for new school sites. Under the current rules, the TDSB is blocked from using this source of funding because the rule states student numbers must first exceed capacity across the whole of Toronto, not just in a particular neighbourhood. It’s also designed to use for new land, which the TDSB does not need. Brown noted several schools in his ward, including Elkhorn Public School, McKee Public School and Hollywood Public School, are over 100 per cent capacity and could potentially use EDCs to build additional classrooms. "We thank parents for such valuable feedback and

241,000 students enrolled and a total capacity of over 310,000 pupil places, the board does not currently qualify for EDCs." Hunter said she recognizes "the challenges parents and students in the Willowdale area are facing and

remain open to examining Education Development Charges, but recognize that changes to this policy will have important provincewide impacts," Hunter said in a statement. "Due to low board-wide enrolment, with the TDSB having only

to growth in the Willowdale community." She noted her ministry has supported building three new public schools in the Willowdale area that have yet to open - Avondale Public School, St. Joseph Morrow Park Catholic Secondary School, and St. Antoine Daniel Catholic School - for a total of about 2,200 new spaces, although two of those schools fall under the Toronto Catholic District School Board. "Our government appreciates the feedback of the Willowdale community, parents and students on how to best support its continued growth, and we look forward to working together, along with the TDSB, to improve and modernize supports for students," she said. Brown called the statement "vague" and doesn’t address any "new or bold ideas that would give school boards including the TDSB more flexibility."

ABOUT US

Canada’s soldiers continue to pay the price Jeff Sandney, a master warrant officer who works at Denison Armoury in Downsview, calms his dog down when the garbage truck rumbles by. As he relates in a story by one of our reporters, the golden retriever more than returns the favour: calming Sandney down when he is stricken with anxiety. Now 52, Sandney joined the Canadian Armed Forces at 17, and served in Bosnia, Cyprus, Egypt and the Golan Heights. In Sarajevo, Bosnia he recalled "seeing people shot all the time". "Now I get high anxiety out of the blue. You just start sweating, and you don’t like to be around people or crowds," he told our reporter. His story, on the heels of the inspirational Invictus Games hosted in Toronto this past summer, reminds us of the price still being paid by our soldiers. His story is a part of our extensive coverage that can be found on our www.insidetoronto.com website and in our eight Toronto print editions this Thursday, leading up to Remembrance Day this Saturday. Other stories delve into the Royal Canadian Legion’s only Jewish branch in Ontario; an East York Legion branch that is recognizing our soldiers who have taken their own lives; an east-end woman, now 99, who was on one of the first ships of nurses in the days following D-Day; one Toronto high school – Central Tech – that has been indelibly shaped by wartime service; and the dilemma of dwindling membership faced by many Legion branches. Another of our reporters attended a Toronto District School Board school in Etobicoke where about 50 students in an adult class – many of them immigrants – gathered to hear an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces. An immigrant from Pakistan, himself, Capt. Adeel Zafar, explained that some soldiers are still paying the ultimate price. The emotion rose in his voice as he remembered one Canadian soldier, a young man in his 20s, killed in Afghanistan. Zafar acted as liaison officer, and escorted the soldier’s body 200 kilometres along the Highway of Heroes from CFB Trenton to the Ontario coroner’s office in downtown Toronto. "There was not a single kilometre not filled with Canadians. Every overpass, every bridge, people were waving, saluting, holding banners and Canadian flags," Zafar told the assembled, including our reporter. "A girl about six or seven was holding a placard that said, ’thank you, Larry.’ Tears started coming down. For 10 minutes, I couldn’t see. That’s how emotional I was." That was the day, Zafar said, "it became real" to him what he and Canadian Forces members do. Canadians should hopefully often think about, and be thankful for, the sacrifice of our men and women in service – and Nov. 11 remains an essential commemoration of that remembrance.

Time to stop appointing caretakers It is time to end the practice of appointing caretaker councillors to public offices left vacant between elections. Last week’s decision by Toronto council to appoint former parks bureaucrat Lucy Troisi to fill in the seat that Pam McConnell held before her death is maybe a stark example: councillors voted against a candidate who had significant endorsements from community leaders, a nod from the late councillor’s family, and instead supported one whose main endorsement came from two councillors in Scarborough. It’s not to say that Troisi’s a bad choice for councillor, but she’s not the community’s choice, and Toronto council showed it-

DAVID NICKLE The City self in majority to not be terribly interested in matching the community’s choice. In the past, council has been better at it. When Scarborough East Coun. Ron Moeser passed away earlier this year, they chose another former bureaucrat, Jim Hart, who’d also worked with Moeser and so would mirror his style. But council could have

picked David Soknacki, the former budget chief under Mayor David Miller. A good choice, but hardly a carbon copy of the late Moeser in style and politics. And who knows how good a choice Hart or anyone is to represent a ward? In an appointment, the people are notably silent. That’s why it might make sense to look at ending the practice of appointing politicians to office, period. Currently, council has the choice of a byelection or an appointment. Generally, earlier in a term council will hold a byelection and later it will appoint. But provincial law only requires an appointment if a vacancy occurs after March 31 of an election year. This is a process unique

to municipalities. At the federal and provincial levels of government, a vacancy must be filled by a byelection. There is no provision for appointments and if a seat is vacated close to a general election then it sits vacant. The same holds true provincially. That’s a good system to emulate. Constituents shouldn’t have to rely on their elected representative’s political opponents to provide them with fair representation, in Toronto or anywhere.

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2017 Jewish war vets gather to remember General Wingate Branch 256 hosts monthly meetings, events for vets

insidetoronto.com

ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com Saul Litman’s feet are a constant reminder of his Second World War service. They still bother the 94year-old, 73 years after a shrapnel injury that left him unable to walk for more than six months. It was Nov. 18, 1944, and Litman had only been on the front lines a few days. "We were sleeping over in an Italian barn which was made out of brick, and one of our tanks stopped behind us with the motor running," Litman recalled. "The Germans clued in on that sound and started shelling us ... There were 11 of us hit that day, and that ended the war for me." Litman’s feet were badly injured. Shrapnel took off the tip of his big toe on his left foot, and a piece of shrapnel also went through the sole of his right foot. But Litman stressed he considers himself very lucky. "I missed the cemetery. I could’ve got killed if I was sleeping the other way, with my head." Litman, a Brampton resident, is one of 72 members of Royal Canadian Legion’s General Wingate Branch 256, the legion’s only Jewish branch in the province. The branch holds various events throughout the year as well as monthly meetings in a boardroom at Baycrest hospital on Bathurst Street in North York. "Our branch isn’t a typical legion branch. Most legion branches have a bar, they have darts, they have games. ... We don’t have that," said Branch 256 president Shelley Rosen.

Aside from the formalities, a typical Wingate 256 meeting includes breakfast, schmoozing and a guest speaker. About half of the branch members are war veterans. Rosen joined the branch about eight years ago after her father Alex Rosen passed away. "He had been a member for about 30 years or so. I should have joined, of course, when he was alive," the branch president said. "My dad never talked about the war so that’s why I didn’t have any interest. The only story he would share with me is that his best friend had his head blown off right beside him." Cheryl Cash-Iacovetta also joined the branch in honour of her dad. "I’m very honoured to be in this branch, not only to be with my father and share that with him, but

just to be part of this experience," she said. "The younger people will hopefully be able to carry on and keep it (the branch) flourishing because it means a lot." Cash-Iacovetta’s 97year-old father Norm Cash, who joined the Canadian army in 1941, said the branch and its activities help keep him active. "It’s something to look forward to all the time." Once a year, Wingate 256 members hold a poppy campaign, and funds raised are donated to hospitals and charities that help veterans. The branch, named after British Maj. Gen. Orde Charles Wingate, supports the veterans’ wing at Sunnybrook hospital where branch members also host an annual ice cream party. Morris "Mo" Polansky, 96, who joined the Royal Canadian Army Service

Corps in Winnipeg in 1940, noted there were 17,000 Jewish Canadians in uniform during the Second World War, a number that may come as a surprise to many. "We don’t do enough to sort of, I don’t mean advertise, but at least acknowledge what we did," he said. "Sometimes there’s that sort of feeling: Did the Jewish community really make their contribution to the Second World War? And the answer (is) absolutely." Rosen said Wingate 256 is trying to attract "the younger generation" in an effort to keep the branch alive. "The veterans are in their 90s. ... I don’t know how many more years we have," she said, noting "I wish more of the kids of veterans would join, especially while their parents are alive."

hen the Earls Court Branch 65 of the Royal Canadian Legion opened its doors 90 years ago, in the years between the two world wars, it had a membership of 900. Today, its membership sits at just 29, and branch president Joan Fenech has surrendered its charter and closed those doors. Fenech, who has been a member of the legion for 40 years, has been at Earls Court for the past 18. "I transferred down to this one because I felt this one needed help," she said. The members will go to the Maple Leaf/Swansea Branch 266/46, not far off - the legion itself isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere, not right away. But the dramatic contraction at Earls Court is a stark example of the general dwindling of the Royal Canadian Legion over the past decades. According to Tom Irvine, the first vice-president of the Royal Canadian Legion, the legion has been losing members at a rate of about 8,000 a year. Part of that is due to death - the largest cohort of members are veterans of the Second World War, a conflict that ended more than 70 years ago - but it has been a challenge to attract and retain veterans of more recent conflicts. Part of that, said Irvine and others interviewed for this article, has to do with the way that the Canadian military recruits and deploys. In the first two world wars, units tended to gather from particular towns or counties. Since the Second World War, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed. "Now when the boys come home, the guy from P.E.I. probably joined the regiment in New Brunswick, and when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discharged heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back in P.E.I. and his comrades are across the country," said Irvine. So that easy connection growing up with the people you served with and coming home with some of the same people doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foster a local legion branch with strong individual ties.

Tony Bock/Toronto Star

Jack Newman, 87, who was a Sergeant in the Canadian Army reflects at the Remembrance Day service at Prospect Cemetery in 2008. The ceremony was held by members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Earlscourt Branch 65. Today, the Royal Canadian Legion is suffering dwindling membership, as the majority who frequented the legion served in the Second World War.

LEGION AT A LOSS Can non-serving members fill the ranks? DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than that for some. Capt. Ryerson Maybee is a 42year-old reservist who served in Bosnia and Afghanistan. He did join the Mount Dennis Legion branch for about a year. But he only went a few times over that year. "I think the difficulty is that while I recognize the services that they provide - particularly with as-

sisting governments and accessing services, in terms of the social aspect of the legion ... the branch didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have very many veterans in it," he said. "They had a lot of associate members. I got put off at it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much in common with the people there." Associates and affiliates are the bane of many members looking to use the legion as a social club, but

Irvine points out that members who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t served are essential as the legion has continued to evolve. "Fifty years ago there were only past service members ... there was no other class," he said. "Over the years we invited family members as associates. Every associate was a family member of a person in the service. So as the service numbers declined in branches, the family

members pitched in. They started taking over the branch because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nobody else to fill the shoes. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the associates, the legion would be dead now." Sgt. Craig Hood is a reservist in the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Rifles, and he has no problem rubbing elbows with associate members - or anything with regards to the legion. It is, he notes, a "huge organization" which offers profound benefits for soldiers returning from sometimes traumatizing service. The 44-year-old who has also served in Bosnia, Afghanistan and across Canada, has found plenty of people to talk to at his home branch in Ajax. "My branch is fortunate - we have 200 veterans from World War 2 to the present day, a few Afghanistan veterans, a lot of British veterans that have served in operations I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even heard of," he said. "There has been lots of opportunity to sit down at the table, talk and share stories, find common ground in those generational differences ... different kinds of service ... different operations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy." Capt. Maybee said that he has found that camaraderie in his regimental mess, and Hood says that the clubs have a lot to offer. "But sometimes you want to talk to someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as connected to you as closely as regimental family is," he said. And the legion, with its associate members, also offers something else: a connection between veterans and their communities said Sgt. Hood "We kind of lost our way over the years and decades and centuries of having that bond between the community and those warriors," he said. "The legion has those family members who are connected; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones most affected by our service. When we come home and are unpacking our emotional baggage, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that have to put it away."

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2017

North York Mirror | Thursday, November 9, 2017 |

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2017 Jeff’s dog Charli helps him deal with PTSD MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com They’re a team now, Jeff Sandney and Charli. Sandney comforts Charli when the sound of the garbage truck upsets her. Charli, a golden retriever turning three this month, goes over to Sandney when he’s anxious, putting her head in his lap. "Goldens, it just comes naturally to them," says Sandney, a master warrant officer who works at Denison Armoury in Downsview. "It does work. It does calm me down." At first, Sandney, 52, couldn’t figure out why Charli was doing this, staring up at him from his lap whenever he suddenly felt anxious or broke out in a big sweat. Or why, when Sandney was in a crowd and feeling uncomfortable, Charli would walk between him and the person talking to him. Charli, who he has had since she was eight weeks

old, was acting like the service dog Sandney needed, because he has post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s hard to say exactly why. A telecommunication systems specialist from Portage la Prairie, Man., Sandney joined the forces at 17, and served in Bosnia, Cyprus, Egypt and the Golan Heights. He saw a friend die in a fall from a castle in Cyprus, and had to carry out his body. He did a tour in Sarajevo, Bosnia, "seeing people shot all the time." Once, he stepped out of a truck to relieve himself, then realized he was standing among landmines. A soldier can go through "heavy stress times" and feel it’s no big deal, he says, part of the routine. But in the last few years, with his career on the downslope, "all this stuff is slowly coming out." "Now I get high anxiety out of the blue," said Sandney. "You just start sweating, and you don’t like to be around people or crowds."

Dan Pearce/Metroland

Jeff Sandney, who was diagnosed with PTSD, decided to train his golden retriever, Charli, as a service dog. Sadney has had a long career with forces, including overseas posting in Cyprus, Bosnia, Sarajevo and the Golan Heights. But Charli knew when something was wrong. Sandney wanted a service dog to help with his PTSD and wouldn’t consider an-

other animal. Man and dog have still put in a lot of work over the past year, getting Charli ready to pass the test,

though there is no national set of standards for service dogs so far, a fact which worries Sandney. Sandney, who lives most

of the time in a condo across from Denison, meets a trainer, Jonathan Levin, four hours a week. "If I go out alone someplace where I might run into problems, I don’t want to do it unless my trainer’s with me." The Canadian Forces has no list of veterans and serving members with service dogs, but Levin brought a handful of clients from around Greater Toronto together. Some go with their dogs to Toronto malls, including Centerpoint, and more unusual places such as between rows of slot machines at Woodbine Racetrack (the casino doesn’t mind), trying to find things which may distract the dogs. "We call it environmental training," Sandney said. People sometimes walk up and start petting the dogs. Charli doesn’t mind, and neither does Sandney, as long as they ask first. "I’ve only had her growl at one person and that was 4 a.m. on the street," he said.

Left, Marie Moyes, 99, served with the (British) Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Service, landing in France just days after D-Day, with many other women pictured in the photo on the right.

Marie Moyes helped set up field hospitals in imminent danger, Moyes didn’t sugar-coat it. "We were always in danger, but there was no time to think about it." Born in Newcastle, England on Aug. 28, 1918 to Robert and Maude Steerment, Moyes was the second of six children. Her father served with the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, and Moyes lived in India from ages eight to 15 while her father was stationed there. "I can still count in Hindustani," she said, counting out loud with lightning speed from her

FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com daughter Rowena’s home near Pape and Danforth avenues, where she has lived for the past eight years. She knew at age 14 she wanted to become a nurse, and at 18 began four years of study toward that goal. When the opportunity came to help soldiers on the front line, she didn’t hesitate to sign up. "I had seen some of the terrible damage that had been done to the troops and I wanted to help," said Moyes, adding her

unit travelled through France, Belgium, Holland, and into Germany. She got a taste of what was to come while training at Lambeth Hospital. She was walking with a fellow nursing student and close friend when a bomb dropped on the site. Her friend was killed, but Moyes was unscathed. "I was up on the third floor walking across a skywalk to the next block," she recalled. "(The blast) blew my apron off. A police officer was there and he said

’don’t open your eyes, please.’ He was holding me and told me to take small steps. When I opened my eyes, there was a hole in front of me. If he hadn’t have grabbed me I would have gone down with the skywalk." But the war did have one bright spot for Moyes: meeting her future husband, Philip. They were both married at the time, and met up again several years later in 1949 through a mutual friend following their divorces. They were married Dec. 21, 1949 "the longest night of the year," their family would

joke. The couple moved to Toronto in 1957, settling near Don Mills and Lawrence Avenue. Moyes worked as a nurse at a doctor’s office and retired from the profession at 65, and her husband was an editor at communications company Maclean Hunter. Philip died in 2001 at age 84. When it comes to Remembrance Day, Moyes said while she prefers to forget, she does acknowledge its importance. "History should be there to learn it and learn from it."

Marie Moyes was just 25 when she landed in the beaches of Arromanches one week after D-Day to tend to the wounded. She was part of a small (British) Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Service unit that volunteered to head into battle to set up field hospitals, following closely behind the troops. "I was on the first ship of nurses after D-Day," said Moyes, now aged 99. "They didn’t have a full hospital before D-Day, so we came and set one up. We moved as the troops moved forward."

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2017 Peers help veterans and their families recover

Pausing to remember North York residents can pause to remember the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who have served Canada during several Remembrance Day services. A service organized by the City of Toronto will be held Saturday, Nov. 11 inside the George Weston Recital Hall at Toronto Centre for the Arts, 5040 Yonge St., at 10:45 a.m. For information, call 416-395-7315 or email satinder.klair@toronto.ca Jewish War Veterans of Canada will host a Remembrance Day service Friday, Nov. 10 at the Lipa Green building at the Sherman Campus, 4600 Bathurst St., at 10:45 a.m. Veterans, a companion, and currently-serving members of the Canadian military may ride the GO Train or GO Bus free Nov. 11. GO Transit asks veterans and those currently serving in the military to identify themselves by wearing their medals, beret, blazer or uniform while travelling. Immediate family members of de-

ceased veterans may also ride free if they carry their veteran’s service papers or identification card. Current and former members of Canada’s military can also ride the TTC for free on Remembrance Day. War and peacekeeping veterans may be required to show their service medals/ribbons to receive free access to TTC buses, streetcars, and subway. One companion will be allowed to ride for free as well.

Dealing with stress injuries has come ’leaps and bounds’ MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com The Canadian Forces’ message for veterans struggling with psychological effects of their service is they aren’t alone, and neither are their families. "Life can get better," says Laryssa Lamrock, who for nine years until this July co-ordinated peer support in Greater Toronto for what the Forces call Operational Stress Injuries, or OSI. OSI isn’t a medical or legal term, but refers to any prolonged psychological impact - depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety,

sleep disorders. Peer counsellors work one-on-one with service members and veterans. They lead support groups for them and for their families. They are there, like Lamrock, because they understand what it means to suffer with an OSI, and can connect people with resources which help. Lamrock’s husband was medically released from the army in 2008 after two tours in Afghanistan. He was diagnosed with PTSD, but he’s worked hard at recovery and has come far; once, his OSI was "an hour-by-hour thing," now it’s an occasional blip, she said last month. "When I was new to the military culture there were limited services available (for people with OSI) and not much knowledge," said Lamrock, but as she went from military daughter to military mother - her father was in the Forces and her son is a reservist - it’s come "leaps and bounds."

the recovery programs, and more know what to recognize as symptoms, she said. OSI support groups, which are completely confidential, include social activities. Peer support, said Lamrock, happens organically, almost magically. "It’s very powerful." For families, support is like oxygen masks dropping in an airplane; you have to put yours on first. At support groups, a woman who’s supported her husband with an OSI for 20 years understands how to help that young spouse who’s there and scared, Lamrock said. And if a person’s having a bad day, she doesn’t judge, she added. The first step to recovery, however, can still be the hardest. "We call it ’the 10-ton phone,’" said Lamrock. "They just have to reach out. The supports are there." Anyone who wants OSI support services can call 1800-883-6094 or go to www.osiss.ca

Lest We Forget

im Lowther couldn’t figure out what was happening to him. Five years after medical discharge from a distinguished military career, Lowther, founder of Guitars for Vets, felt like he was going out of his mind. After 15 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, being deployed to Bosnia and Afghanistan, it was difficult to watch a war movie without feeling the urge to run out of the theatre. He had nightmares from his time in uniform so vivid they would "scare the bejesus" out of wife Debbie. And then there were the flashbacks, triggered by something as small as a scent. It was like seeing snapshots of his past life in 3D, everything supercharged. Lowther receded into the family basement, keeping away from public places. Debbie would notice that all too frequent "deadstare" indicating he was in the throes of a flashback and snap her fingers to bring him back to reality. Lowther was diagnosed with PTSD and prescribed antidepressant medication. He took up yoga, read book after book on neurology in an effort to understand and treat his condition. Nothing seemed to help. After a typically gloomy day, Lowther again retreated to the basement. On a whim, he picked up his old guitar. Lowther, who had often played, had let it lapse after returning home. "I picked it up and started banging on it and I remembered what I forgot," said Lowther during an interview Thursday, Oct. 26. "15 minutes went by and I noticed I felt better." Eventually Lowther emerged from his self-imposed exile, relying on the guitar to get through the bad times. "Something as simple as play-

Long & McQuade co-founder Jeff Long cradles a Gibson ’Les Paul’ model guitar at the company’s Markham Road location. Instruments can be dropped off for donation to the Guitar for Vets program at any Long & McQuade shop.

Music therapy program helps veterans dealing with trauma ing takes my mind in a different direction," he said. "There’s no room in my brain for (trauma) if I’m touching or strumming (the guitar). Something’s happening and it’s magical." Such an experience is common for people dealing with severe trauma, says clinician Reba Fleury. A counsellor and liaison with veterans and families dealing with PTSD at the Military Family Resource Centre in North York, Fleury said cognitive behavioural therapy such as using music or other expressive arts have proven

effective for treatment of the illness. The centre hosts regular events for military families, including a guitar jam night which allows injured veterans and their loved ones to play and socialize. "It’s important to show these families they’re not alone," said Fleury. In 2011, Lowther and his wife founded Veterans Emergency Transition Services (VETS) Canada in their native Halifax, an outreach group advocating and providing shelter for homeless vets.

Sensing an opportunity to do more, particularly with a rash of suicides among male military members- as many as 68 between 2010 and 2014 - he recalled his own experience with music. Guitars for Vets was established in 2015 as a donation program for wounded veterans, where people with unneeded instruments could drop them off for use in music therapy. But the program proved too successful. "We thought we’d get maybe one or two guitars, but it just exploded across the country," said Lowther.

He and his volunteer groups were receiving 50 offers of donated instruments a day, but with no place to put them. Enter Jeff Long. The co-founder of music retail chain Long & McQuade, Long became aware of an urgent request from Lowther requesting the company’s help in storing the donated guitars. He readily agreed, easing the way for every Long & McQuade location to act as a drop-off site for guitars donated to the program. Long said getting involved was a no-brainer for the company which had in the past donated instruments to Guitars for Vets. "It was just a logical extension of our charitable outreach," said Long. He estimated store locations across Canada have accepted some 500 guitars on behalf of the program. Since Guitars for Vets was established in 2015, over 800 instruments have been donated or purchased for the program. Musical instructors donate their time to provide lessons, and prominent Canadian musicians will participate in an upcoming benefit concert in Ottawa to raise money to buy 700 guitars for the program. A classic rock ’n roll fan, Lowther prefers playing Beatles songs for their beauty as well as their maddening complexity. He has a songbook of all of the band’s work which he loves and hates to play from "because they literally make up their own chords". He said the guitar is like his personal umbrella, for use when storm clouds gather. "Does the (trauma) completely go away? No, I still struggle," he said. "When the bad times come I just wait it out with my guitar and play some insanely hard song. "At that point there’s nothing better to do than focusing on figuring out those damn chords."
