Harris defends China-Canada treaty agreement AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter
The Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement was signed by Harper in Russia, Sept. 8 and tabled in the House of Commons in late September. Since then many opposition members have slammed government for “keeping Canadians in the dark about this Agreement’s grave implications for our sovereignty, security, and democracy,” Green Party leader, Elizabeth May said. May went on to say
With the final vote for the Canada-China investment treaty prompting massive push back, MP for CaribooPrince George, Dick Harris is addressing the agreement’s critics. “Prime Minister Harper and the Conservative Party has led Canada through the last three and a half years of recession,” Harris said. “And we’ve come out miles ahead of other countries.”

Harper plans to sign off on what could be Canada’s most significant treat since NAFTA “without any public consultation, any consultation with First Nations and any Parliamentary debate, or even a single vote in the House of Commons.” Harris was quick to point out oppositions readiness to “complain about it to the media” but decline the opportunity to debate in the House. “They [opposition] has had every opportunity to debate it in the House,”
Harris said. NDP Foreign Affairs Critic Paul Deware said: “It’s inconceivable that such an important treaty would be adopted without parliamentarians being able to debate it on behalf of all Canadians. It took 18 years to negotiate this agreement which will be in effect for 31 years. A few more months would allow us to study it thoroughly.” Harris attests the reasoning for pushing the treaty forward is due to its benefits. “We’re moving fast

Cariboo North, Bob Simpson said the issues lie in the fundamentally different means of ruling “we have a quasi-free trade here with a liberal democratic country and a communist/state capital country,” he said. Simpson also pointed to the lack of debate on the issue. While the agreement was predicted to be finalized Nov. 1 it has since been pushed back to an undetermined date.

Halloween for Hunger gathers nearly 1,300 items for Salvation Army Food Bank QJS House 3 Halloween for Hunger campaign was a huge success with 1,293 food items collected for the food bank. Students dropped shopping bags at residences the preceding week and asked homeowners to fill and leave on their porch Halloween morning. The students
created a competition between the various classes to see who could collect the most items. Jennifer Stevenson’s Grade 8 division raised the most, with 444 items, followed by Marisa Brachett’s Grade 9 class, who collected 396 items. Residents of North Quesnel, students of both Red Bluff Latako elementary
school and Lakeview elementary school and local businesses also made remarkable donations, Brackett said. “It easily doubled the number of items brought in by QJS House 3 students. Along with Brackett and Stevenson, House 3 team teachers including Clay Booth, Megan Gerich, Deanna Freer, Peter
Jesperson, Tracey Doucette and Becky Mckenzie would like to thank Save-onFoods and the North Cariboo Growers Co-op for donating the bags that made the pick up much easier. A special thank you goes out to the teachers and students of Lakeview and Red Bluff elementary schools for their hard work, Brackett said.

members of your leadership team. Recognize anyone? All are returning team members with a few new ones added in. This workshop, which was provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, was helpful to show each one of us where our strengths lie and how to work together in a group. We each had to do up a personality profile by answering a series of questions ahead of time. These questions were then feed 12:35 PM
into the computer and in true cyberspace fashion, an individual profile was produced. Why you ask did we do this? Good question. This computer generated profile gave us insight into each other’s needs and requirements to work effectively. This will help us to better reach our goals in a respectful manner. Time well spent and I know that I personally felt enlightened not only about myself but my
fellow team members and I suppose that is what this was all about. Looking to be involved with this year’s Relay For Life? Well, we are looking for this year’s “theme”. Last year was “elevate the experience”, and in 2011 it was “superheroes”. Now we are seeking an appropriate 2013 theme. You can help. Submit your suggestions to quesnelrelay@ bc.cancer.ca. All entries will be
entered for a draw for a $25 Canadian Tire gift card. The winning suggestion will also win a gift certificate for $25. Deadline for submissions is Nov. 30, so don’t delay. We are also looking for people to help out with team support, survivors and luminaries and event day logistics. If you have a few hours to spare, please send us a note to quesnelrelay@ bc.cancer.ca or call Cathy Briggs 250747-1739. And in upcoming
events. Look for cookie kits being sold by Family Fun. These kits contain 12 baked cookies, icing and sprinkles and will be available mid-December for $10 – just in time for Christmas baking. If you are interested in pre-ordering these kits, call 250-2495720. Stay tuned for future articles on Relay For Life 2013 so, until we speak again – keep fighting the good fight.

Council votes to increase fees
Council gave the first three readings to an updated Master Fee Bylaw. This bylaw covers the various fees and charges, not including property taxes, that the municipality collects. The fees were all put in one bylaw in 2010 to make the process of updating them more efficient. Some of the changes include: • An increase to water and sewer utility fees of 5 per cent. This equals an average increase of $7.28 for water and $10.28 for sewer. • Various increases to fees in the Development Services department, including: development and subdivision applications; building fees; manufactured home park applications and soil removal. • An introduction of landfill tipping fees by weight for commercial customers, as well as
City News newsroom@quesnelobserver.com
residential customers with more than 350 kilograms of household garbage. There was no increase to residential garbage collection fees. • An increase for cemetery fees of 5 per cent for costs and 10 per cent for plots. Several fee types did not increase for 2013, including business licences, development cost charges and dog licences. The changes take effect Jan. 1, 2013.
Financial update provided Council received an update on the city’s financial position at the end of the third quarter. There are no significant variances or reassessments on the revenue front. As for expenses, it is expected overall they will come in on budget. On the
capital project side of the budget, several of the larger projects, such as the Elliott Street reconstruction and the City’s general paving program are complete. Other projects, such as the landfill changes, are still underway.
Lodging project in the works Council gave first reading to a pair of Zoning Bylaw amendments that, if approved, would allow lodging use at 1346 Abbott Dr. The property owner is looking to create up to five boarding spaces in a safe home setting for seniors. Council also set a public hearing for Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers as a public input session regarding the amendments.
Council increase
• Council approved that their indemnity increase by 0.7 per cent, keeping in line with a council policy that states Council’s pay will increase by the September increase to the Consumer Price Index. As of Jan. 1, the mayor will receive $3,555.47 ( 3,530.75 in 2012) and councillors will receive $1,219.87 ($1,211.39) The change means a total increase of $975 to the city council indemnity budget.
Approved • Council approved an Outdoor Cafe Permit for the next three years for Granville’s Coffee. The permit allows the company to have an outdoor cafe in a public right of way (parking spaces). See PAGE A6

New tattoo shop specializes in realism Local tattoo artist Cailyn Cave has found a new home, working with Tracy Stroud out of Alternative Skin Solutions. Cave prides herself on her sanitary practices to offer her clients high quality safe customized tattoo services. She has even gone to the extent of attending the Calgary Tattoo and Arts Festival to receive additional training and certification on sterilization and bloodborne pathogens and principles of infection control through Health Educators Canada. Over the years, Cailyn has been informed by clients that she has light hands. “I really don’t like to hurt people,” she explained. “It feels good to know that I’m not digging for gold.” Cailyn is a well rounded artist and specializes in realism. She welcomes all artistic challenges including airbrushing and other art services. Cailyn Cave started her journey into the tattoo
industry in 2007 when she took a year-long break from school. She was studying social work at the time and was working towards getting her Bachelors of Social Work. “I was visiting a friend while she was at work and as I walked outside I noticed a tattoo shop across the street called Grindhouse,” Cave said. Cave investigated, wanting to know how one goes about becoming a tattoo artist. “I’ve been at it ever since,” she explained. Since then, Cave has juggled tattooing, postsecondary studies and work with high risk youth. She returned to B.C. this year after working in the North West Territories as a tattoo artist. Cave came close to accepting one of several positions in tattoo shops in Edmonton when she met Tracy Stroud. Instantaneously, Cave decided to stay and work
with Tracy. “I found that Tracy was a lot like myself,” she said. “We are like-minded and have a passion for this industry and its future developments.” Cave is located within Stroud’s establishment, Alternative Solutions Skin Design. The two have paired up to offer clients a wider array of services. “Some clients will come in with a poorly done tattoo,” Cave said. “Most of the time I can easily cover-up them up, but there are cases where the tattoo has been over saturated with pigment and it is next to impossible to cover-up. “Tracy’s tattoo removal services will assist in creating a more desirable cover-up design for the client; it’s a win-win

Chartered accountant Basia Ruta starts work in January as B.C.’s first auditor general for local governments. The new position caused a stir among local politicians when Premier Christy Clark made it part of her leadership bid for the B.C. Liberal Party. Her platform promised to expand the provincial auditor-general’s office to include a municipal auditor, and to “review the municipal taxation formula.” Clark’s ministers for local government, Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong and now Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, have emphasized that the Surrey-based Auditor General for Local Government will compare similar communities through performance audits and publish non-binding recommendations on which are more efficient. That is similar to how provincial and federal auditors work, relying on public

pressure to move politicians to cut down waste. Local mayors and councillors balked when the idea came up at the 2011 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Some complained about an extra layer of costly bureaucracy, while others said the province was going to impose tax rate changes on communities. Those concerns faded as local politicians were assured they wouldn’t lose autonomy, and also faced the prospect of campaigning against extra accountability. Clark promised there would be no costs passed on to local governments to run the auditor’s office. UBCM president Mary Sjostrum, mayor of Quesnel, said Wednesday she welcomes Ruta’s appointment. Ruta has worked in the federal
Auditor General’s office and was chief financial officer for Environment Canada, as well as in private practice auditing local government, hospital and community organizations. Tinkering with municipal tax rates, especially
for industries that subsidize popular low residential rates, has been raised and abandoned before, and won’t likely be seen before the next provincial election in May 2013.

EagleBuilding Supplies Ltd.
Listening to You, Speaking out for the Cariboo
Now that the long-winded and obscenely expensive American presidential election is over there are three things to watch that will directly impact BC’s economy in the near term. The first is how President Obama tackles the tricky issue of the Keystone XL pipeline. Recall he only tabled further debate on that pipeline until after this election. In his highly rhetorical victory speech last night the President indicated that freeing the United States from foreign oil would be one of his priorities, and Canadiansourced oil is fundamental to America’s energy security. Expect the Keystone pipeline issue to be revisited very soon, which will have implications for both the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines here. Second is the Obama administration’s interest in natural gas exports, and Obama’s support for fracking. As Minister Bell states whenever he gets a chance, there is no second place in the race to get LNG to Asia. An accelerated U.S. natural gas push to Asia could easily push BC out of the running for “first place” in the global LNG race. The third is how President Obama handles the gridlock in Washington and the “fiscal cliff” that’s coming as automatic tax and spending cuts kick in. The United States is a bankrupt and deeply divided nation, but there are signs it is pulling out of the depression it fell into after the 2008 crash. That’s been great news for our lumber sector and, if the positive trend continues, it may buy us some breathing room as it will allow more of our pine beetle killed forests to be economically logged, staving off potential mill closures in the near term. If U.S. lumber prices do continue to firm up, then we must use the breathing room this will give us to develop a real transition strategy for our traditional forest sector and the communities and workers that depend on it. We desperately need a true vision and strategy that does not depend on a panicked opening of forest reserve areas to logging or a rapid and ill-thought out conversion of our public forests to quasi-private, area-based tenures. www.bobsimpsonmla.ca

T
he good news is election apathy appears to be dwindling in Canada. The bad news is the election outcome Canadians were most interested in was the United States presidential race. Whether there was a genuine concern surrounding the future relationship between the two countries, or perhaps a cross-border spillover from the massive $6 billion campaign waged over the last year, Canadians paid close attention to the results. Even the Canadian news networks gave top coverage to incumbent Barack Obama’s victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. And rightly so. While the U.S. has taken the economic recession on the chin, it is still the most powerful country on the planet and plays a huge part in Canada’s economy, security and, to a point, social challenges. The relationship between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and who was chosen to live in the White House for the next four years was also a hot topic for Canadians. The debate over what Harper/Obama or Harper/Romney would mean to Canada was interesting, with many on both sides fearing the worst. But it’s going to be the devil we know, so perhaps some of that enthusiasm for politics can make its way north of the 49th Parallel – and particularly for B.C. with a provincial election looming in May. Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix might not have the $6-billion campaign budget to play with, or the cavalcade of entertainment stars to call on, but there are lessons to be learned on how to rouse an electorate whose numbers have been dismal when it comes to heading to the polls to vote. Canadians got caught up in the show that was the U.S. election. It’s time to show the same fever here at home.

The freedom to be friends
n 1975 my dad’s mother married a wonderful man named Karl. I was nine years old and all I really knew about him at the time was that he served his country in World War II, just like my mom’s beloved father had. One big difference between them was that one was in the Air Force and the other was in the Navy. The much bigger difference, though, was that Karl had fought for Germany, and not Canada. Upon learning this fact, I immediately felt stress. What would happen the first time my new Opa met my old Papa? I feared for the worst. With my young imagination running wild, I don’t know what I expected exactly, but I certainly didn’t envision what actually transpired. When Karl Terweg met John Hetherington for the first time, they shook hands and smiled warmly at one another as my little brother and I watched nervously. In broken English Karl
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note spoke to John about many things that night in our home, none of which involved the war they had both served in decades earlier. Despite their peaceful introduction, I worried about any conflict between them in the future. “Why don’t they hate each other?” I asked my grandmother. “Canada and Germany were enemies.” “The war ended a long time ago,” my grandma explained. “They’re not enemies anymore. “And neither Papa nor Opa ever wanted that war to happen.” For the first time, I pictured these important
daughter said. “I just hope all wars will stop. People shouldn’t fight, they should use their words. Right Mama?” Right Daisy. If Karl Terweg and John Hetherington were alive today, I’m sure they would agree. For all our veterans who didn’t have that option and fought for their country’s freedom, we will honour them on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month with two minutes of silence. What a small price to pay for the sacrifices they made for us. Mahatma Gandhi one said: “If we are to teach real peace in the world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” I’m sure Karl and John would have agreed with that too.

older men in my life as the young innocent lads they once were, bravely serving their countries in a gruesome battle of enormous magnitude. Grateful that they both survived, seemingly unharmed by the experience, I remember asking them years later, individually, what that time was like for them. Neither of them wanted to talk about it. What I did learn about World War II, or any war at all, came from my parents, school or what I watched on television. The atrocities of war and the reasons for their eruptions were as confusing to me back then as they are today. My daughter Daisy is now the exact same age I was when I met Opa. Unfortunately he and Papa passed away long before before she or her older brother Sam were born, so my children never had the opportunity to meet any courageous veterans from our family. “That’s okay,” my

The Wars We Make – a plea for peace Editor: The following poem was written by Nicholas Peters just after the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Peters, who lived for some years at Grande Pointe, Manitoba, Canada, had emigrated from Russia in 1925 as a boy of 10 and had seen firsthand the horrors of revolution and war in his native country. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942 and trained as a

flying officer. He died on the night of March 7-8, 1945 after his aircraft was hit by enemy fire. The poem is from a collection of Peters’ work entitled Another Morn. The Peters family has given permission to have the poem published.
The Wars We Make I gaze into the world
with sorrowing eyes And see the wideabounding fruits of hate. We fight, we say, for peace, and find The wars we make To be a spring of hate and source of future wars. Is there no peace for man No hope that this accursed flow Of blood may cease Is this our destiny: to kill and maim For peace? Or is this `peace’ we
strive to gain A thin unholy masquerade Which, when our pride, our greed, our gain is touched too far, Is shed, and stands uncovered what we are? Show me your light, O God That I may fight for peace with peace And not with war; To prove my love with love, And hate no more! –Nicholas Peters Some twenty years ago, my wife and I
stood beside Peters’ grave in an Allied war cemetery in Germany, with a huge sword on a cross backdrop, and, as I read the poem out loud, we grieved for him and the countless others buried there “row on row” in those graveyards of Europe. Quietly they lie now, sometimes friend and foe close together with so much of life still waiting to be lived. Most of the last verse of
Peters’ poem is inscribed on his tombstone with “me” and “I” changed to “US” and “WE”. SHOW US YOUR LIGHT, O GOD, THAT WE MAY FIGHT FOR PEACE WITH PEACE AND NOT WITH WAR. I dream of the day when all of us, governments included, will listen to this soldier’s plea. Yours sincerely, Stan Penner Landmark, Manitoba

aving attended the BC Museums Conference in Kamloops, I am more than ever convinced we need a museum that will meet the needs of the community. I learned a great deal about presenting, promoting and protecting a museum. With speakers and experts from across the country, attendees were treated to a large variety of topics from which to choose. The topics ranged from Risk Assessment to preparing for the Centenary of World War I. In just over one short year, 100 years will have passed since the onset of the First World War. It is a period in history without equal – it

Lynda Cunningham
regret to announce her peaceful passing on Monday, November 5, 2012 in Quesnel, B.C. Lynda will be re-united with her husband of 46 years, Sandy (Sr.) whom she lost May 7, 2004. Lynda is survived by her son Sandy and daughter-in-law Jackie, her daughter Deni, and her grandson Jim. Lynda will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, November 13th at 1pm, at Clayton’s Funeral Chapel. Tea to follow at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 94. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Lynda’s memory to the Salvation Army.
Dolores lived in Quesnel for most of her life and was very involved in the community through her employment, volunteer services and roles as a mother and grandmother. In her early years Dolores worked at Weldwood of Canada. In 1982 Dolores went to work at Shoppers Drug Mart and continued there for 28 years until she retired as a shipper receiver in 2010. Dolores lived her life caring for her family and friends, while also touching many lives through her dedication to the Royal Canadian Legion and their many volunteer services. She was a proud member of Legion Branch 94 for 42 years and served tirelessly on the executive of the Ladies Auxiliary for many years in many capacities. Dolores lovingly referred to this group of ladies as “the sisterhood”
and she enjoyed the many hours she devoted, whether it was selling poppies, serving pancake breakfasts or catering weddings and teas. Dolores is survived by her two sons Allan and Gary (Debbie), her parents, John and Julia Mueller, brothers Marvin (Fab), Floyd (Ursula) and Barry (Charla), sisters Maureen (Rick) Cody, Brenda and Sandra (Bob) Damon. She also leaves behind grandchildren, Ryan, Kayla, Veronica, Andrea and Kevin and step-grandchildren James and Kyle as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Dolores was predeceased by her husband Wilfred. She also leaves behind step-son Leigh and his extended family. Dolores will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. A celebration of her life was
held on Friday, October 19 at Quesnel Legion Hall. Special thanks to the Ladies Auxiliary, Cpt. Stefan Van Schaick and Cpt. Laura Schaick, and Ann McKay. Donations in Dolores’s name may be made to the Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch 94, the Salvation Army Church or the Canadian Cancer Society. We wish to extend our thanks to the wonderful staff at Quesnel Hospice who looked after Dolores with such compassion for her final two months. You truly are angels! The family would like to thank all their friends and relatives for their kindness and support during this difficult time. We take comfort knowing that Dolores is now at peace and no longer in pain. “God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.”

MEMORIAL TO THE CREW OF A HALIFAX BOMBER
Remembering a family member James Henry Evans died in 1943 over Belgium
M
any of us have not been directly involved in the ravages of war but from others we know of those who gave their lives for our freedom. The following story is representative of the many men and women who lost their lives or were critically injured in the war. Through Mabel Evans of Quesnel, I learned her husband Dan, was in Belguim to commemorate the seven members of the crew of the Halifax heavy bomber HR 872 LQ-K that was shot down Aug. 10, 1943 over Mannheim, Germany.
Dan’s brother James Henry Evans (many of you will know of Dan’s mother Juanita Karney) was one of the seven casualties – six Canadians and one Scottish airman. Also from Quesnel at the reunion were Don and Lillian Gook. James’ wife Genevieve Gook Evans had found James Evans grave during travel in 1975 to Florennes, Germany. The crew of the 405 Squadron RCAF is documented in a book Target Mannheim where James was a bomberobserver. It was first written in French, published in Belgium, and since translated into English.
Plans were made in recognition of the 69th anniversary of the plane shot down Aug. 10, 1943 over Awenne, Belgium. The crash site was near where the Battle of the Bulge took place. There were 450 planes on that particular raid, but Evan’s 405 squadron plane dropped flares for the rest of the bombers to see targets. This was a volunteer squadron and one of the elite, but the mortality rate was high, Dan Evans said. He found the reunion to be a very moving weekend where he saw the compassion and

caring of many Belgium people who also attended the commemoration. “By erecting a monument in honour of the crew of the Halifax HR 872 LQK, the community of Saint-Hubert wishes to celebrate the courage of the aviators and, through them, the sense of sacrifice of all these fighters who were prepared to pay with their blood for the perpetuation of democratic values. “Honour to them and to their countries with all our gratitude,” Claude Bonmariage, mayor of Saint-Hubert, said. Other dignitaries
were also in attendance. Now at the crash site in the forest surrounded by rocks and in the quiet of the trees, a three-lobed cast iron cross recalls the sacrifice of the seven RCAF men. A communal worker now keeps the area clear of vegetation and the site has been improved so that visitors have access to the site just a few hundred metres from the national road. It is also noted that there are many graves of aviators in the communal cemeteries of the province as well as other service personnel. – submitted by Ruth Scoullar.

SECOND WORLD WAR MEMORIES
Life in Holland
Thankful for the sacrifice of our veterans
German occupation takes tragic toll on Dutch citizens
S
ixty million people died as a direct result of World War Two. I was seven and a half years old when Germany invaded Holland in May 1940. I was born in Rotterdam, the city that was bombed flat by the Germans because Holland would not capitulate. The place where I was born does not exist anymore. It was turned into a pile of rubble that was not accessible for more than a month after the bombardment due to the intense heat. After the bombardment, we lived in a small village just outside Rotterdam for a while and from there moved to the Hague. When I think back, the whole war period seems like a sickening bad dream where fear and hunger are absorbed in a numbness that is hard to describe. The fear, hunger and numbness are gone but it is still painful to think or talk about it. When the first Gulf war started in 1990, our kids came home very impressed that an American plane could send a rocket or bomb through a small window in a bunker where Saddam Hussein’s family and other people were said to be hiding. I lost it because, from the little that I had seen on T.V., that war was treated as if it was a Nintendo game and that was nowhere close to the reality I remember. After I had calmed down they said “but Dad how do we know what it is like when you never talk about it?” It left me speechless because they were right, how would anybody know if it is never talked about. I understand veterans do not talk about it either, one only has to look at the thousands and thousands of white crosses of Canadians that
Bert deVink
FROM WITHIN are buried in Holland alone. Five or six years of steady fighting, witnessing the horror of war and losing friends is something you want to forget and not talk about. I was 13 years old when I was sitting on a Canadian tank in total admiration for the Canadians who freed the little town of Steenwijk in the Northern part of Holland. My younger sister and brother were living there as well. We were smuggled across the big rivers to where there was still a little bit of food because it was farming country. All three of us were skin over bone when we got there in mid-1944. It is because of the people in the northern part of Holland, who were willing to share the little food they had with kids from the big cities, that I survived. When still in the Hague, I remember standing in a line in the freezing cold, with the toes of my shoes cut off, waiting sometimes for hours for a couple of ladles of soup. The soup was nothing but some cabbage leaves and small pieces of potato. The toes of my shoes were cut off because I had outgrown them and clothing of any kind was not available anymore. My Dad had gone underground and that meant no ration card for him and only five ladles of soup for the six of us.
From the beginning of 1942 we had no radios anymore – they were taken during a razzia so we could not listen to the BBC. When, unexpectedly, machine guns were placed at the four corners of a housing block and soldiers entered your house and took what they were ordered to take, it was called a razzia. All brass or copper items were taken for the ammunition factories. Towards the end of the war they also took blankets and bicycles and often they just came to find people who went underground. By 1943, there was no electricity, no gas to cook on, nothing to heat the house with. There was a curfew from 7 p.m – 7a.m. Anybody seen on the street between these hours was shot. There was not a living dog or cat in the city that I know of and wooden railings, park benches, etc. were gone. People were burning their front doors and furniture. We lived in the kitchen that was barely heated by a little wood stove the size of a small microwave. We sat there huddled in our blankets one time when a soldier entered the house during a razzia, looked at us, threw his helmet and rifle on the floor and was crying. He said he did not want the war, had a wife and three children he had not seen for years. My mom gave him a hug, which was pretty big for her because a couple of days prior she was almost put in a truck loaded with Jews. Being of French origin, she had dark hair, brown eyes and a rather large somewhat hooked nose. Jews were made to wear a big yellow star very early
in the war and were picked up off the streets like stray dogs and put in a truck with high slatted wooden sides like cattle. When the truck was packed it was followed by a motor cycle with a side car on which a machine gun was mounted. Seeing that, we knew they were not going to a happy place. My hatred for anything German was so intense that when I saw a German soldier trying to get out of his truck after it was strafed by an English fighter plane, I stood there laughing while he burned alive. Living with that kind of a deep hatred made me more indifferent to danger. I had become an expert tire deflater which was not without danger, but very satisfying when the Germans lost their cool over flat tires. The launching place for the V1 and later V2’s, the unmanned rockets that were sent to England, was only about 10 km from where we lived and quite a few went up, sputtered and moved around like a deflating balloon. Since it was unpredictable where they would land, one was totally defenseless. In early 1943, just before all the schools were permanently closed, a V1 landed a couple of blocks from where we lived and flattened a whole city block. Two children from my school and one from my class lost their lives. It was not the regular German army that was mostly feared, but the Waffen SS and the Grune Polizei. They were the most cruel and inhumane part of the occupation troops. They were the ones that beat my mom and kicked me when looking for my dad. See PAGE A5

n the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, people gather around the world to remember our veterans. But, with the passing of the last known First World War veteran this year, is Remembrance Day still important? The original intent of Remembrance Day was to remember and reflect upon the sacrifices of the veterans of the First World War, which was supposed to be “the war to end Bob Simpson, MLA all wars.” The day has CARIBOO NORTH long since evolved into an opportunity for citizens to reflect on war in general and to honour the veterans of the too many wars that have occurred since the First World War. Remembrance Day has become an opportunity for us to say “thank you” to those who have served and who continue to serve in our armed forces. Men and women who have been, or are willing to be, sent into harm’s way when our government decides that Canada’s interests or the interests of democracy or human rights require their service. It is also a day for us to reflect on what we owe our veterans in return for their service and sacrifice. At a minimum, we owe them quality health care, full retirement benefits and quality supports for the families of military personnel who are killed or injured while in the service of our country. Our veterans should not be forced to fight here at home for these basic rights. I also believe the best way we can honour our veterans is to be good citizens of the nation they put their lives on the line for; to not take for granted the rights, freedoms and privileges they fought for, by exercising our responsibility to vote and by participating actively and in an informed way in our democracy. Yes, Remembrance Day is still important – as a means to ensure we never take for granted those who serve our nation and as a reminder of our own responsibilities as citizens.
Memories from war-torn Holland
from PAGE 4 Being smuggled out of the Hague put an end to living in a totally darkened city — very often with no food at all, with clothes that were too big or too small, the constant howl of sirens when allied planes flew over on their way to Germany, not knowing when a bomb, a V2 or a downed plane would hit you, being cold in the winter and with nowhere to go in the heat of summer and just sick and tired of Germans with loudspeakers giving us orders or new restrictions. It was such a blessing when we got to Steenwijk. One of the first things that happened was that I was fitted with a pair of wooden shoes; it was the first time in years I had warm feet in the
winter. It took a couple of months after all of Holland was freed by the Canadians in 1945. We went home on a boat and found out that both our parents and little sister were still alive. A couple of years after the war I started to find out that all things were not as straight forward and idealistic as I had thought. Sweden and Switzerland were never occupied, which meant that goods were exchanged between Germany and the Allied Countries and money was exchanged at the Swiss Banks during the war. The thought that soldiers lost their lives while big profits were made filled me with disgust and, looking at all the crosses marking the dead, made me scream
instead of just cry.Later I found out that most large factories in the industrial Ruhr district in Germany were still standing, but where the workers lived was bombed flat. The immense Krupp industrial complex never received a bomb, but Dresden, where the workers lived, was bombed flat as was Hamburg. I know now that a lot of Germans are really good people and that during the war they had no choice or were mislead by propaganda. Very recently, I found information in a Dutch Canadian magazine called the Windmill Herald, Oct. 23, 2009. A German officer Hans Oster realized the danger of Hitlers ideals, but the Allies ignored him. German military tribunals ordered the death
sentence of approximately 30,000 soldiers of which 20,000 were executed. Not too long ago I was talking to a guy who is my age. I detected a very slight accent and asked him where he was from. He answered from Germany, I asked which part and he said Hamburg. My reply was “oh my God”; he then asked where I was from and I said Rotterdam. He looked at me and said, “We are kindred aren’t we Bert?” From the bottom of my heart I could say yes we are. I am forever thankful to the Canadian and Allied forces who freed Europe. I hereby give my deepest respect and heartfelt thanks to the Canadian soldiers, you are still my heroes.

Denis Lessard, Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 94 president’s message As we approach this year’s Remembrance Day observances, it becomes each and every person’s duty to stop, think and show respect to those who have gone into combat and peace keeping missions to protect our rights — the rights of Canadians to live in a peaceful, safe and respectful country. While we, as Canadians, are no longer involved in active combat, we still have members of our armed forces around the world ensuring these rights and the rights of those they are protecting are honoured and held to the highest of standards. In this role we continue to have members of our armed forces in situations of imminent danger, such as Afghanistan. We also owe our standard of living to those who have gone before and fought for our rights and freedoms, many of whom never came back from these endeavours and many who have passed since returning to Canada, British Columbia and indeed Quesnel. As with many others I immediately think of those brave soles who took part in the First and Second World Wars, but, after talking with one of our Quesnel veterans, let us not forget those who have taken part in such conflicts as the Korean Conflict, or such peacekeeping missions as Cyprus and the list goes on. More over, let us not forget the sacrifices their families made during these times. On Nov. 11, take a few moments to bow your head and think of, not only those who have passed but those who remain and indeed continue to strive to protect all the rights and freedoms that we enjoy. As is indicated in Terry Kelly’s song’s title, It’s a Pittance of Time to show the respect to our veterans and armed forces that they so richly deserve.

Homelessness is a poverty issue ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
A
s executive director of Seasons House, Melanie MacDonald is in a position to help offer support to the most vulnerable members in the community. “The leading cause of homelessness is not only the multiple barriers people face in obtaining affordable housing but also being unable to escape poverty,” MacDonald said. Seasons House offers programs to help mitigate the homeless segment of the population. With 10 emergency shelter beds, eight transitional housing units, two support and recovery beds and drop in programs such as providing food, showers, access to laundry facilities, toiletries and clothing as well as advocacy and support. “We also have onsite medical services one day a week,” she said. However, MacDonald recognizes that Seasons House is much more than just covering the basic necessities. “We’re a safe, secure environment,” she added. “Our goal is to reduce the harms associated with being homeless and living a riskier lifestyle.” With so much stigma attached to homelessness, MacDonald said it’s important to get to know those who avail themselves of the services at Seasons House. “When you get to know them, hear their stories, I feel blessed to know them,” she said. “They have so much strength and have endured so much hardship; it’s an honour to work with them.” But since opening their doors in 2008, Seasons House have been operating over capacity. In 2011,
the emergency shelter had 1,565 turn-aways due to lack of beds. MacDonald explained that turn-aways are always sheltered in the overflow area where people sleep on a mat, chairs or on the bare floor. “These numbers reflect the number of times Seasons House cannot give an individual a shelter bed, but that number many also count someone more than once,” she explained. “We have about 250 people who access our emergency shelter program.” At the end of August, 2012, Seasons House had already had 1,557 turnaways. “And there still many more cold months to go,” MacDonald said. Despite the formidable task at Seasons House, MacDonald said, without hesitation, she loves her job. “The difficult part of my job is knowing the hardships these people have endured, the abuse and the lack of services – lack of affordable housing – the wait for treatment,” she said. “It’s disheartening to see the limited resources available to help these people.” One not-for-profit organization, Raising the Roof, Long-term solutions for Canada’s Homeless, has been selling toques with the slogan “Let’s put a cap on Homelessness.” For the past 15 years, individuals, community groups and agencies, businesses and the media have supported the signature annual national toque campaign. Last year, 33 agencies/organizations worked on the campaign and local groups benefited from the 80 per cent of net proceeds which remained in the community. The remaining 20 per cent supports Raising the Roof’s national initiatives.
This year, Seasons House, along with seven other organizations across the country, have been added to the list of supporting agencies. In purchasing just one toque for a minimum donation of $10 you could provide the funds to purchase clothing for a youth’s all-important first job interview; 10 toques provides supportive house for one youth for a week, allowing him/her to learn essential life skills to help break away from the street culture; and 200 toque sales is enough money to support a youth to go back to school for a year or enrol in an apprenticeship program for two months. To date, the Toque Campaign has generated more than $3.3 million in grants - money that has been used to support homelessnessserving agencies like Seasons House as well as the Raising the Roof’s national Youthworks initiative, which focuses on long-term solutions to youth homelessness. Beginning Nov. 20, toques will be available for sale around Quesnel and will continue to be available for sale throughout the winter months culminating in Toque Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013 when everyone is encouraged to proudly wear their toque. Consider this the perfect Christmas gift, a warm hat and warm support for the homeless. “We service all ages, ethnicities, seniors, youth at Seasons’ House,” MacDonald said. “There’s a lot of people who are one or two pay checks away from homelessness. “Again, I want to remind people poverty is the main cause of homelessness.”
Seasons House is a safe, secure environment.

Huge trucking opportunity in B.C.
Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 per cent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range). Similar shortages exist for
other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the Asia-Pacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged. Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing systems. Others on
the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing. And, people joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pickup and delivery or shorthaul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owneroperators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck! If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites. Members of the BC Trucking Association from across the province may
post jobs under careers, www.bctrucking.com and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC www. workbc.ca/Jobs/ and Working in Canada www. workingincanada.gc.ca/ – choose to Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region. Within your own community, it may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop off a résumé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring. If you’d like to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore. Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout BC that offer programs.

The Bible on storms
E
arly in the morning on the Monday following the “Great Storm,” I was listening to the radio as the station interviewed several people in the northeastern coast of the Atlantic U.S. concerning the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Big storms are ominous. So was the earthquake we had on the night of Oct. 28. They arrest our attention. They remind us how small and powerless we are. In the Bible the storm is a symbol of many different things. Non-destructive wind is an apt picture of the presence of God because God is powerful, yet unseen (John 3:8; 4:24). When God’s Spirit came at Pentecost the accompanying sign was the sound of “a mighty rushing wind” (Acts 2:2). The peoples surrounding the Israelites in the Old Testament typically worshipped storm gods. These fertility religions tried to coax rain out of the local Pastor Barry Saip god. In contrast, the Northstar Baptist Church Israelites believed God to be the personal sovereign over all things. One day God revealed himself to Elijah the prophet in an unusual way: “Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’” (1 Kings 19:11-13). God is not a storm, but storms do remind us that there are forces so much stronger than us. A strong storm is a reminder that we need a God who is stronger than the storm: “The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is mighty.” (Psalm 93:3-4) And when we see someone rescued from a storm, it reminds us of how God rescued us from a life of destruction: “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.” (Psalm 18:16-17) Certainly the most memorable storm in the Bible was the day Jesus and his disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee: “A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke Him and said, ‘Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?’ He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves,’ Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?’ They were terrified and asked each other, ‘Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!’ (Mark 4:37-41) Surely the one who calmed that storm can calm the storms in our lives. Barry Saip is the children’s pastor at Northstar Church in Quesnel.

Good start hampered by bad bounces Midget Thunder rolls into third
JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter
Jesse Roach winds up for a slap shot against the Tier 2 Prince George Cougars in last weekend’s tournament.

The midget Thunder hosted teams from across northern B.C. in a hard-fought tournament last weekend. The Thunder took third in the tournament, with Smithers beating them in the semi-finals and getting the go ahead to take on, and ultimately lose to, the Prince George Tier 2 Cougars. "Even though I would have liked to have done better this weekend I think the order in which the teams placed was accurate with their level of play over the weekend," coach Rick Izzard said. The first trio of games the Thunder bore down like their namesake, making easy work of the 100 Mile House Mayvin Milers, the Prince George Tier 3 Cougars and the Dawson Creek Canucks. The Thunder started slow against the Milers, scoring a lonely goal in the first, then hit their stride in the second, scoring three unanswered goals. The Thunder opened up the scoring in the third as well, scoring three in the first half of the period before settling down. The Milers managed the first and second goals late in the period, which were matched by the Thunder for a 9-2 final. Their next game, against the
Tier 3 Cougars, was equally one-sided. The Thunder came out early this time, scoring thrice in the first, all unanswered. They bagged a lonely one in the second, and hit their stride in the third, slamming home five more goals, while the Tier 3 Cougars managed their lone goal. Saturday morning, the Thunder faced off against the Dawson Creek Canucks. The Thunder struck hard in the first, scoring over half over their goals, in a six goal run that ran through most of the first, with the Canucks managing only a single late goal. The second was more even, with the Thunder scoring two early and the Canucks managing one before the 10 minute mark. In the third, the game calmed down again, with each team taking a point to finish the game 10-3 in favour of the Thunder. In their fourth game against the Tier 2 Cougars, the Thunder ran into trouble "We simply had a difficult time finishing chances early in the game as we had three or four posts and their goalie played very well," Izzard said. The Prince George team took three goals in the first, dampening the Thunder's spirits as they struggled to turn their luck around. Early in the second they found a bit of luck, scoring their only point of the game. The
Cougars came back to nullify the goal with two of their own. In the third they pounded nails in the Thunder's coffin, netting another two points for a 7-1 win over the Thunder. That put the Cougars on top, while forcing the Thunder to play a semi-final game against Smithers to see who would challenge the Tier 2 Cougars for supremacy. "Again we were snake bitten when it came to scoring early," Izzard said. "We could have been up by two or there with any luck but it didn't work out for us the way we wanted." Despite the bad bounces, the Thunder and Smithers were tied after the first at one a piece, with the Thunder opening the scoring at fifteen minute, with Smithers matching soon after. In the second, Smithers started to creep ahead, with matching the Thunder in less-than-a-minutein goals, with one a-piece, then scoring again two minute later to put them up one going into the third. The scored twice in the first three minutes of the period and managed to keep the Thunder from scoring at all to take the game 5-2. Smithers would go on to challenge the P.G. Tier 2 team, but fail, losing 4-3 to land in second and keep the P.G. team up top.
Breaking ice and throwing stones
Quesnel Curling Club hosts first bonspiel of the season JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Curlers in Quesnel gathered at the curling rink to break the ice last weekend. Eighteen local teams mixed it up in the event. The bonspiel broke the ice particularly well, using a draft-like system in which participants signed up individually and were then put into teams.
Dave Plant, the manager of the curling club, said it’s becoming a popular way to run the bon spiels because it allows people to curl with new people and frees them from convincing a whole team to come out and play. The Regency Chrysler 'B' event came down to the Dave Warwyk Rink against the Lorna Schley rink. The game remain close up
till the sixth end, when Lorna score two to make the score 5-2. Only able to score a single, Warwyk was down two coming home and allowing the Lorna Rink to take the game 6-3. Lorna Schley skipped the victories, backed up by Wes Arnot, third, Pattsy Woollends, second and Pat Crerar, lead. The Fowler Moving sponsored 'B' event came down to the Barb Arnot rink against the
Trudy Bentley Rink. Arnot Stole four ends in a row to make the score 7-2. Trudy was never able to get on track, losing to the Arnot rink 9-2. Skip Barb Arnot was backed up by Lynda sales, third, Gail Redden, second and Natalie Marleau, lead. The Marg and Ed sponsored 'C' event came down to Dana Johansen rink and the Grant Wawryk rink.
Johansen scored two in the seventh to go up 7-4, but Grant came back and scored three in the eighth to force an extra end. Dana scored one in the extra for the win. Johnasen was backed by Terri Matula, third, Ed Napier, second and Jane Austin, lead. The next bonspiel is Nov. 23-25. Interested parties can contact the curling club at (250)-992-5813.

Zones sharpening JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter
The junior and senior girls volleyball teams challenged each other to a exhibition game to sharpen their skills as the regular season ends. The junior girls are headed to Prince George to take part in the zones this weekend. They earned their zones’ spot in play-downs last Friday against Williams Lake. The girls took the first trio of games, 25-10, 25-15 and 25-6, in the five game set, allowing them to forgo the last two. The junior girls are heading into zones ranked sixth and hope to improve on that ranking. “That is our goal for the weekend,” coach Corey Lougheed said. “The girls have been working very hard in practice all season, and they have showed improvement in every aspect of their game. If we can bring the pieces together for our final event it should be a very good weekend for us.” They face a challenge, though, with their first game against the number two ranked North Peace Secondary. Coach Lougheed predicts a fierce game; last time they met the games were close and the Quesnel girls have learned and improved from that experience. “We feel our poor serving was the only thing that kept us from winning that match so we have worked hard for the last two weeks to make sure that doesn’t happen again,” Lougheed said. The senior girls are still fighting for their entry into zones.

Snow cross
“Remember the Alamo” Bread Buns & Soup
JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Nearly 600 boys and girls from all over the province were in Prince George last weekend to compete in provincials for the first time ever. A winnowing season had cut the fat from runners, who powered through snow, mud and over icy slopes in an effort to win the ultimate race for the high schoolers in the province. Three Correlieu runners and four Quesnel Junior runners made it to the big show in Prince George. "It was a really hard fought effort for all of them," QJS coach Scott Trueman said. Pat Marsh, the Corrlieu coach was proud of her team’s placements in the competition. The fastest boy of the Quesnel bunch was Konrad Teetzen, from Correlieu, finishing the 6.3 km race in 28:16. His time was good enough to place him 37 of the 61 junior boys runners. Dylan Cathcart, from QJS finished 21 out of 31 runners in the juvenile boys category, finishing the race 11 seconds behind Teetzen, at 28:27. Brennan Schwartz, the youngest male with the Quesnel bunch, also from QJS, finished the race at 30:45, placing 13 out of 21 racers in the bantam boys category. Grace McTaggart, a QJS student was the fastest Quesnel girl, finishing the 4.3 km race in 20:19, which was good enough to put her in the top 10 of her age group, bantam girls, at seven out of 29. Kyra Teetzen, also from QJS, followed McTaggart by twelve seconds, at 20:31, which got her to 15 out of the 45 runners in the juvenile girls age group. Correlieu student, Katrina MacLean finished the race in 21:13, which placed her in 54 of the 115 runners that came from around B.C. Laura Dunn, another Correlieu runner, finished in 22:29, taking 86 in the same senior girls category. The track consisted of wet grass, dirt and mud, with snow in the mix as well causing some slippery ascents that taxed the runner's stamina. "The race itself was an unique experience to witness,” Trueman said. "In the beginning runners charged across a field of mud and snow like cattle in a mad rage. Within a couple hundred metres they were forced to pack themselves onto a narrow trail, where the challenging aspects of the course, including a long, snow packed hill separated the mass of runners, one lap at a time." He also added the length of the race, coupled with the seconds that separate those on top from those lower down, combined to make a grueling race that was won on razor thin margins, making the finishing times less important than the act being there and running the race. Both teams were happy to be in Prince George and impressed with the event.

travel Vegas, baby
A suite weekend in Las Vegas Questions of departing & delays in arriving
R
ecently, I thought I would check out the vacation packages that depart out of Bellingham, Washington, to find out first hand whether it is worth the extra trek into the US to save money. The prices are certainly attractive. Of course, I recommend that you book through a travel agent, as they will be able to assist you with your purchase. As well, travel insurance sold by your qualified agent protects your purchase and provides for any potential emergency medical costs while visiting the United States. Like most airlines today, there was a checked baggage fee, which was a little cheaper because we paid before hand. Seat selection was extra. Also, we could take our purse or personal item free, but there was a fee for a carry-on bag or package, as well as size and weight restrictions. There was also a carriage fee. All charges were in US dollars. I flew from Quesnel to Vancouver (another cost to my low-cost trip). As my daughter lives in Vancouver, an overnight hotel was not necessary. It was necessary though, that we set our alarm for an early rise. Our flight left Bellingham at 10:30 a.m. (we decided against an earlier departure option – unsure of time required to cross the border from Canada to the United States). It was a quiet Monday morning and therefore border crossing took about 30 minutes. If it were later in the week, a weekend or a holiday, wait times at the border would definitely be longer. We arrived at Bellingham airport about 2 and a half hours before departure and it was a good thing. Long lines for check-in and security snaked their way through the tiny terminal. But people and staff were friendly and the process went smoothly. Our hotel booking, a part of the package, also went smoothly. The first part of our visit was at the Grande Old Dame – the Tropicana - recently refurbished to be a great option on the Las Vegas Strip. Like many Las Vegas hotels, we were required to pay a resort fee that was not included in the package. This fee is not optional and often includes wifi, use of fitness centre or other perks. Check with
your travel agent to see what your hotel charges, if anything, for resort fees. We spent the last of our visit at the Venetian, another wonderful hotel. Our room was a suite with a sunken living room and three tv’s. One of the televisions was in the bathroom! A beautiful hotel, the rooftop pool complex is especially fabulous!! Sometimes it seems that living here in the north, we are plagued with our share of weather related flight delays, especially in winter months. However, this trip to Las Vegas pointed out even in the south in July weather can play havoc with travel plans. On our approach to Las Vegas, the pilot reported that air traffic control had put us in a holding pattern, circling the airport as we were unable to land safely due to severe thunder storms. We looked out our windows at black clouds moving rapidly in the area we were trying to reach. The plane continued to circle, circling so long in fact that we were forced to detour to Laughlin, Nevada, to refuel. Now a plane full of excited travellers can be pretty discouraged with such delays. Heavens, even when we landed, we had lost our gate and were required to wait 20 mins or more on the tarmac for a place to deplane ... total delays in all, almost three hours. Whenever I travel and have checked in, I figure I am on my way. No sense worrying about delays, cancellations or anything else, as they are out of my hands. The majority of those on our plane were great despite the delays – very patient with a positive attitude. But there were a few on board who were quite rude to the airline crew. Perhaps they did not realize that the pilot and crew wanted everyone to get to their destination on time but safely too! It was a great trip and overall our experience was a positive one. If a low cost vacation interests you, Bellingham departure is certainly an option but be sure to do the math – time, cost in US funds, and additional fees to get there!

In Memoriam
In memory of
Winfred Winfrid (Wes) Rupp who passed away November 11th, 2011
He Only Takes The Best
God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, “come with Me.� With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes “the best�.
Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts. The Bodman and Ketcham families
