Bringing the Voices of the Kawarthas to You Page 7

I believe that in the 20th Century the Seventies was the very best decade.

Great music, cool clothes, an expanding restaurant and bar scene

Money was plentiful if you worked steadily and in good humor

Aside from a 1973 hitch in oil prices, you could drive a luxury car without guilt

Oh, there was Nixon and Carter and the Iranian Ayat-ollah, but no ISIS crisis

The Watergate Cover-up led to Richard Nixon resign-ing as President of the USA

A New Yorker named Trump was learning how to maximize profit through bankruptcy

Gordon Lightfoot was healthy and making great music the world wanted to hearBilly Joel was both rock star and story teller; The Eagles were in flight and The Rolling Stones discovered that you can’t always get WTH you want

Ann Murray warbled her way to international fame and fortune

Rich Little moved from Ottawa to Las Vegas at a sub-stantial increase in pay

“The Godfather” movies were acclaimed and #1 AND #2 won Academy Awards

Johnny Carson began a 35 year run on the Tonight Show - the best ever

Pierre Trudeau was the one and only true genius lead-ing a free country but those who criticized him now realize what a powerful mind we had in Ottawa

Vietnam was a futile war ending with American defeat, a loss that still haunts America

The Toronto Blue Jays began play while the Maple Leafs were still figuring out how

Richardson’s Pest Control Peewee hockey team won the Quebec Tournament

For a really good Burger, you found an owner-operat-ed Diner that was not part of a chain: in fact, you still have to. Many Chip Trucks sell better burgers than the Golden Arches

A skilled factory worker could afford a house, perhaps a cottage and boat, and put aside some money to edu-cate his or her children. Try THAT today!

OMSIP became OHIP and we have felt better ever since; wait times excepted

Canada vs. Russia: A hockey series that galvanized every Canadian who could watch

Honda, Datsun and Toyota began to dominate car sales at the cost of the Big Three

In the 70’s Helen & Barrie Richardson came to Jack’s Lake and bought a cottage

For sure, the BEST decade was the 70’s
