Volunteers Shirley Hill and Bryce McCutcheon share a laugh while organizing Christmas hampers for delivery day, Monday, Dec. 30. With the overwhelming support from the communities, the hampers included many extras this year like personal hygine supplies, and added bonus for families in need.

Overwhelming support for community this year Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Schools, hockey teams, non-profit groups, emergency services, businesses and citizens donated time, fuel, goods, toys and cash to support the Christmas Campaign this year. The support for the campaign is normally very good, but this year the response from the community of Princeton and the Area H communities has according to the president of Crisis Assistance, Allan Kovaltsenko been, “overwhelming.” Josie Penner, head volunteer for the toy department of the campaign said, “The response for teens this year

is just terrific.” The Catholic Church Hall was generously donated as the spot to sort and package gifts for children. Carol Skinner, Eileen DeBruyn, Karla Friesen and Alexia Boyd assisted Penner with the children’s gifts. Assisting president Kovaltsenko and his wife Shareyl with the organization of the Christmas Hampers this year were: Shirley Hill, Shareyl Garfield, Pam LeGault, Julie, Bryce and Jake McCutcheon, Dave Mansfield, Don and Kathy Strickland and Paul Christman, a visitor from Whitehorse. The small group of volunteers worked hard and well together putting out 90 plus a number of “emergency” hampers together, in just a few hours.

“Organization makes things go tickety-boo,” said Kovaltsenko, “these folks are doing a fantastic job.” Beginning at 8:30 Monday morning, the hampers were ready for pick up or delivery. The majority of hampers are picked up, “about 85 per cent,” says Kovaltsenko, “protecting privacy is important.” For those who have no way of picking their hamper up, Crisis has no problem delivering it to them. Kovaltsenko extends his appreciation to the communities of Princeton and Area H for their incredible support and to his volunteers a huge thank you.

Overwhelming support for the Christmas Campaign this year. Generosity enabled extras like personal hygiene products to be included in the hampers for Christmas.

Princeton ~ The best place to live in all of British Columbia Princeton Crisis Assistance Society It has been overwhelming for us this year with the response from all the citizens of this community during our “Christmas Campaign.” From the companies and businesses and the staff of such, the emergency service crews here in Princeton as well as the firefighters of the Osprey Lake area. From the different service organizations in Princeton and Tulameen and to all the individual citizens in town as well as out of town, to you we want to say a big thank you to you all for your support! We are proud to be the administrators of your generosity and kindness to those in the community that sometimes find it a little tough to get through the day. I am proud to live in a community where people can still say hello to one another on the street and a place where people pull together to think of others. That is why I say that Princeton is the best place to live in British Columbia. Once again, thank you for your love and kindness and we look forward to being able to serve this community in 2014. “Thank you to all the volunteers that help us serve this community, for without you and the community we could not do what we do!” May the good lord bless and keep you all. Allan Kovaltsenko, president Princeton Crisis Assistance Society

Anonymous donation establishes community fund in Similkameen An anonymous donor has stepped forward with a generous gift of $5,000 to establish the Lower Similkameen Community Fund with the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen. “Community Funds are a great way for local citizens to help build a legacy for the community they care passionately about,” said Sarah Trudeau, Regional Development Coordinator for the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen. “The Lower Similkameen Community Fund ensures that all grants made from the fund will be used to support projects in the communities of the Lower Similkameen region. Donations made in these communities stay in these communities and continue to provide support forever. The Foundation has been working with communities throughout the South Okanagan and Similkameen to develop committees that support local granting and fund development under the Smart and Caring Communities program, an initiative of Community Foundations of Canada.

In March of 2013 the Lower Similkameen Community Committee formed to advise the Community Foundation on local grant applications and fund development. “The committee has been working hard to educate local citizens about the benefits of having a community fund that would support all areas of need in the Lower Similkameen area,” said Wilfrid Mennell, chair of the Lower Similkameen Community Committee. “The anonymous donor is familiar with the work of the committee (Lower Similkameen Community Committee) and sees the donation as the first step in bringing local citizens together to imagine how they can make their community more ‘Smart and Caring,’” said Trudeau. The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan | Similkameen has served our region for over 21 years, working with donors to create lasting impact in the areas of greatest need for the communities we serve. Grants are distributed from income earned on investments, preserving the endowment capital to ensure a perpetual stream of funds.

PLEASE NOTICE:

Black Press files Northern B.C. is the site of several pipeline proposals, including Enbridge Northern Gateway from Alberta to Kitimat.

Enbridge pipeline approved, with 209 conditions Tom Fletcher Black Press

A federal environmental review panel has recommended Enbridge’s Northern Gateway heavy oil pipeline can proceed if 209 conditions on environmental protection are met. After 18 months of submissions from experts and the public, the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel concluded the benefits of a twin pipeline from northern Alberta to a proposed tanker facility at Kitimat outweigh the risks. Its two-volume report was released Thursday in Calgary. “The environmental, societal and economic burdens of a large oil spill, while unlikely and not permanent, would be significant,” the panel concluded in its report. “Through our conditions we require Northern Gateway to implement appropriate and effective spill prevention measures and spill response capabilities, so that the likelihood and consequences of a large spill would be minimized.” The panel said there would be significant effect on some populations of woodland caribou and grizzly bear, and uncertainty remains over the effectiveness of Enbridge’s plans to minimize the disruption the pipeline would cause. “It is our view that, after mitigation, the likelihood of significant adverse environmental effects resulting from project malfunctions or accidents is very low,” the report states. Conditions include protection plans for whales and other marine mammals, measures to protect caribou and other land animals and development of methods to track and deal with diluted bitumen spills.

Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver reiterated his position that “no energy project will be approved unless it is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.” The federal cabinet must make a final decision on federal permits for the project by July 2014. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said approval by the federal panel meets one of its five conditions, but doesn’t change the province’s position against the pipeline until its other four are met. They include satisfying legal obligations to consult and accommodate aboriginal communities and developing “world leading” safety and spill response on land and at sea. “Now we have Alberta’s agreement for the five conditions, the federal government is talking about the importance of weighing the environment in the balance, and even Enbridge is talking about the importance of the environment in this equation,” Polak said. We believe we’ve made progress in highlighting the very important steps that are going to need to be taken … but we need to see evidence that this work is going to be achieved.” Janet Holder, Enbridge’s project leader for Northern Gateway, said the company will work to meet the federal panel conditions, and those laid down by the B.C. government. Northern Gateway has reached equity partnership agreements with 26 aboriginal communities along the pipeline route, but many others remain opposed. “The Yinka Dene Alliance has clearly refused permission for Enbridge’s pipelines to cut through our lands and waters,” said Chief Martin Louie of the Nadleh Whut’en First Nation, speaking on behalf of the northern B.C.-based alliance.

SpotlightOPINION

First new year’s resolution is to be kind to yourself Guest Editorial Black Press

The New Year has begun and with that, new year’s resolutions for many of us. It’s been said that new year’s resolutions are much like babies - they are fun to make, but extremely difficult to maintain. In fact, statistics say one in three of us make one or more new years resolutions. Unfortunately, only 75 per cent of us are still on track to maintaining those new standards a week into the new year, and after six months, only 46 per cent of those who pledged to better themselves are still committed. Jacqueline Hurst is a Great Britain based, Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Practitioner) Master Practitioner. She offers seven tips that might offer hope to those who have been trying for years, without success, to make good on personal change. Hurst says change always begins “by being kinder to yourself, and by implementing, small attainable, measurable goals.” 1. Goal set. Short goals are much easier to achieve and put a person in a more positive frame of mind. 2. Make your goals realistic. Make your expectations of your goals realistic too. 3. Make your goals public and find support from their friends. 4. Any goal you set for yourself should be done in a really kind, gentle way. In other words, get yourself a far kinder internal dialogue. 5. Starting any goal by saying you will “stop” doing something means you are ultimately telling yourself you are going to take something away from yourself. It’s a bit like dieting, when we deny ourselves, we rebel. 6. Get your thought process correct. Positive self talk will always end up with positive results. 7. It is often better to focus on health rather than things like weight. Health is something that is much more important than the size of your bum, and actually feels far more rewarding.

Angels walk among us Dear Editor, How do you measure the worth of another human being ? This past year the bell has tolled for several friends,we feel their loss & are saddened by their passing, each of them touched me in a special way, However I want to tell you about my neighbour Keith Elliot, he was kind, generous & talented, in in spite of the debilitating condition of Parkinsons’s Disease, he carreid on without complaint! He used his gifts and talents fixing things as a contractor and friend for many in our neigborhood. He went about his days being a great son, devoted husband, wonderful father, terrrific grandfather and amazing friend to the end. To me he was a life saver on many ocassions , as a widow there were many times that he came to my rescue , whether fixing my lattice fence, checking my alarm system, installing a door bell or the other various little jobs around my house that needed doing. “No” was not in his vocabulary. This past year was very difficult for him as he was diagnosed with cancer...Many of us prayed for his recovery, but it was not to

be. When his wife called to tell me he had passed away, she told me about his concern for me and a facer board above my kitchen window that was loose and hanging down;every time they passed by, he would remark that it needed to be fixed. His funeral was truly a “Celebration of Life” when I returned home after the service, I heard a strange scraping noise in my kitchen, as I looked out I saw a ladder being hoisted, then the lower part of a man leaning against the window. I went outside to see what was going on, I found Keith’s good freind Wayne Waddell nailing up the board. Then he told me of his last visit at the hospital when Keith asked him to fix it for me; imagine if you can the pain, as he lay dying; his thoughts were about helping a friend. I was and am humbled by this incredible, selfless act of kindness and know, “angels walk among us.” “Rest in Peace dear friend” and to quote my husband Austin, when he was touched by someones kindness, he would say, “You are a gentleman and a scholar.” Peace & happiness. Joyce Fraser Princeton, B.C.

Reminder of the right thing to do Dear Editor, It’s Christmas time and we’re reminded of the right thing to do. The high moral standard, personal integrity and truth. Not evident in the Toronto Mayors office or Canadian Senate. No Nelson Mandela’s there. They’d never make it as a Scout or Guide leader. Not only does the Christmas season provide employment but focuses on the needy, the desperate and the world’s hungry. When Mother Nature sends her deer, bear, racoons wild horses, Canada geese etc, into town and we don’t process them to feed the desperate and hungry are we not being selfish and immoral? We have no

problem with Agnes the friendly cow in the form of a choice roast beef dinner after she’s provided milk for our little ones and affection with her eyes that is only surpassed by your sweetie. Remember, Abraham barbecued a wild ram. Saved his son. By glimpsing the centuries old Christmas Story we might better understand morality, integrity and truth that is found in a babe in a stable who is the truth, “ the gift to the world.” That’s really something. Merry Christmas, Joe Schwarz, Penticton B.C.

Beginner ballet beauties Contributed

Princeton Parks, Recreation and Culture offered beginner Ballet Class for children aged three to seven years this past fall. Amanda Dodds and her student helper Holly Atkinson showcased our young ballerinas with a snowflake dance on Thursday, December 19 for the students families.

Area G report Angelique Wood RDOS Area “G” Director

The end of the year always brings with it a pause for reflection, particularly when inclement weather forces us indoors, huddled by the fireplace, slowing down from the hectic activities of summer and fall. It’s not yet winter and we’ve already seen a few cold snaps - many of us are particularly conscious of the fact that our power bills will jump, particularly those of us who rely on electricity for heat. Elected officials throughout the province of British Columbia continue to call for a better strategy than the conservation rate imposed by Fortis and BC Hydro. This rate was applied at the call of BC Utilities Commission, conceived as a way of making British Columbians more conscientious of our energy use. Fortis has just completed a report to the BC Utilities Commission: this report outlines the overall effects of the conservation rate on consumers and points out that 70 per cent of B.C. residents will be only marginally affected by the billing change. This report uses a comparison of a $300 bimonthly bill as its average baseline. The anecdotal stories I have heard, along with bills which I have been shown, contradict these numbers. People have approached me with horror stories about bills that were $900 every two months which are now $1,200. The highest bill, for an elderly couple in their 80’s living in a house on acreage, was $2,839.32. This was for a two month billing period in 2013, and it is likely that the rate increase, paired with the conservation rate, was a driver in the increased bill - but what is reasonable? Many residents in the Similkameen have participated in the Energy Diet, which is a program delivered by Fortis to make our homes more energy efficient and more comfortable.

Fees persuade most smart meter holdouts Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Hydro’s imposition of manual meter reading fees has persuaded most holdouts to accept a wireless smart meter. BC Hydro imposed a $35 monthly fee starting Dec. 1 for customers who refuse to part with their mechanical electricity meters, after offering the 68,000 customers who still had them the option of accepting the new meter with the radio transmission function on or off. BC Hydro reported the results this week to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC), which is reviewing the fees. More than 48,000 customers chose the smart meter to avoid the meter reading fee. Another 450 chose the radio-off meter, which comes with a $100 setup fee and $20 a month starting April 1 to cover costs of collecting readings. Another 6,270 customers chose to keep their mechanical meters, and 13,110 more did not respond to BC Hydro’s letters, so they will have the $35 fee added to their bills until

they choose another option. BC Hydro reports that 99 per cent of its customers now have the wireless meter. Most of those have been switched to automated billing, and have their daily electricity use displayed on their online account pages. Claims of health effects from wireless meter transmissions have been rejected by health authorities, and also by the BCUC in a review of FortisBC’s wireless meter program. BCUC found that the radio frequency signal from a bank of smart meters is less than 10 per cent of the natural background level, and a tiny fraction of the exposure from a cellular phone. Citizens for Safe Technology, one of the more active opponents of the wireless grid, was represented at the FortisBC hearings by Donald Maisch. BCUC rejected Maisch’s claims of health hazards, noting that Maisch’s “consulting livelihood depends on public fears and concerns about radio frequency exposure.”

Enbridge pipeline will hit wall in B.C., critics say Jeff Nagel Black Press

Environmental groups and First Nations quickly condemned the National Energy Board’s recommendation to approve the Northern Gateway oil pipeline project and predicted it will never be built. Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs president Grand Chief Stewart Philip said the battle will likely move into the courtrooms as First Nations mount legal challenges to Enbridge’s project – assuming it is approved in the months ahead by the federal government. “This is about the environmental integrity of the watersheds we all share and we are willing to go to any lengths to defend our watersheds,” he said. “We are prepared to go to the wall against this project. We have no choice.” Wilderness Committee policy director Gwen Barlee called it a reckless, foolish, disappointing decision that will run into a wall of opposition in B.C. “It’s going to be tied up in courts for

many, many, many years,” Barlee said. “Environmental organizations will be standing with First Nations and standing with the hundreds of thousands of other British Columbians who oppose this project and don’t want to see it proceed.” Barlee said the recommendation of approval flies in the face of a newly released federal report that flagged an insufficient capability to respond to an oil spill on the coast. “This is a project that’s dangerous to our climate, dangerous to our coast and dangerous to our rivers and our salmon,” she said. “We vow to stand shoulder to shoulder with First Nations, and the thousands of others who oppose this project,” said Murray Minchin of Kitimatbased Douglas Channel Watch, which was an intervenor in the hearings. “We are determined to keep the north coast of B.C. bitumen-free.” The twin pipelines, carrying diluted heavy bitumen from northern Alberta

to Kitimat and condensate used to dliute the heavy oil in the opposite direction, would carve across hundreds of creeks and rivers and send oil tankers out through the narrow passages of B.C.’s north coast. Ecojustice staff lawyer Barry Robinson said the NEB ignored a huge volume of evidence indicating Northern Gateway is unsafe, unsustainable and unnecessary. Others argued Enbrige has not proven itself competent to be trusted with B.C.’s environment, citing its 2010 spill of diluted bitumen into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan. Most environmental campaigners said they were not surprised, citing federal government moves to weaken environmental standards and gut protections for habitat in the Fisheries Act. Ninety-six per cent of written comments to the Joint Review Panel, including the submissions of the province, opposed the Northern Gateway pipeline.

Locals spread Christmas cheer

Stephanie Antonick along with helpers Odelle, Missy & Chloe organized a caroling afternoon on Christmas Eve. Beginning at 2 p.m. residents who joined in entertained and brought back a little ‘old fashioned’ Christmas cheer for the folks who were home this Christmas Eve. Kudos to Stephanie for getting the word out, to Ken Hlatky for the driving the truck and trailer and to all the folks who joined in to sing!

Lisa Carleton/Spotlight

AREA G REPORT - from page 8 I think most of us participating in the program can see the value in sealing drafty windows and doors, and identifying problem areas of leakage- but the fact remains that many tenants are not eligible to make significant changes to rental properties, and landlords are also not eligible to apply for the grants to make their rental properties more comfortable for tenants. So a single-wide mobile home built in the 80’s will remain cold unless extra heat is supplied- and the bottom line is that is expensive. Our MLA’s Dan Ashton and Linda Larson have indicated that people who are suffering hardship from these conservation rate increases can make application to Fortis for consideration. I have not seen a published mechanism for this to happen, but if your bills are making you choose between food and warmth, or medicines and heat- you may qualify for some exemption. Fortis toll free number is 1-866-436-7847. This year, the tiny hamlet of Hedley lost more people than anyone can remember in a single year. Our population hovers around 350 -380 when one includes the town, the Upper

Similkameen Indian reserve, and the residents scattered along Highway #3 to Princeton and Keremeos. 2013 saw 13 people pass away in Hedley. We were shocked by a murder, a motor vehicle accident, the loss of strong community members, and the deaths of many elderly. In a community of our size, this toll has been numbing and saddening. Many residents are worried and have vowed to work on a buddy system to check on one another. In fond memory, we acknowledge the passing of: Tom Cummins, Monty Doucette, Art Hayward, Nellie Halverson, Thom Leslie, Shirley Powers, Steve Roy, Myrtle Sawiuk, Peggy Sheppard, Doug Smith, Greg Sykes, Gene Tillotstrom, and Karl Withler. This winter, please exercise caution travelling through snowy and icy road conditions. There is no point in rushing to your own accident. Please be sure to assign a designated driver if you plan on drinking and don’t become a statistic over the holidays. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!

CHICKEN AND CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SALAD SANDWICHES SERVES 4 TO 6 1

MEDIUM HEAD CAULIFLOWER, CHOPPED INTO 2-INCH PIECES (ABOUT 6 CUPS) 1 TABLESPOON PLUS 1 TEASPOON CANOLA OIL 1 TEASPOON HOT CURRY POWDER KOSHER SALT AND FRESHLY GROUND BLACK PEPPER 1 1-POUND BONE-IN, SKIN-ON CHICKEN BREAST 1 EGG YOLK 11/2 TEASPOONS WHITE WINE VINEGAR 1/8 TEASPOON SALT 3 GRINDS BLACK PEPPER 1/4 TEASPOON MUSTARD 1/2 CUP CANOLA OIL 2 SCALLIONS, WHITE AND GREEN PARTS, SLICED VERY THIN 1/2 TEASPOON HOT CURRY POWDER 2 TABLESPOONS GRATED ONION 1/3 CUP SALTED ROASTED CASHEWS, COARSELY CHOPPED 1/3 CUP GOLDEN RAISINS TOASTED SLICES RYE, PUMPERNICKEL OR OTHER

TO PREPARE THE CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKEN, ARRANGE 2 RACKS IN THE OVEN AND PREHEAT TO 400 F. TOSS THE CAULIFLOWER WITH THE 1 TABLESPOON OF OIL, CURRY POWDER AND 1/4 TEASPOON SALT IN A BOWL, AND ARRANGE IN A SINGLE LAYER ON A RIMMED BAKING SHEET OR IN A GLASS BAKING DISH. PUT THE CHICKEN IN A ROASTING PAN OR ON A RIMMED BAKING SHEET, BRUSH WITH THE REMAINING 1 TEASPOON OF OIL AND SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER. TRANSFER BOTH TO THE OVEN, ONE ON

CAPRICORN: Perceptions vary, Capricorn. Just because you feel strongly about something doesn’t mean another will view it the same way. Accept that your passion will not always be reciprocated. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, even though it will be a busy week, you aren’t likely to feel wiped out. There will still be time for fun. Figure out a day to do something enjoyable. PISCES: Pisces, you are torn between being creative and following convention at work. Ask a colleague for some input. ARIES: Thanks to the chilly weather, a beach vacation beckons you, Aries. Start planning an excursion to a warm locale that allows you to escape the daily grind. TAURUS: A sporting event or something that draws a large crowd is just where you need to be this week, Taurus. Surround yourself with people who share your interests. GEMINI: Give an issue in your relationship the consideration it merits, Gemini. Though it might not seem like it now, taking time to work this out will ultimately strengthen your relationship. CANCER: Cancer, the final stages of a project you have been working on are ready begin. Don’t be afraid to take credit when all of your hard work pays off in a big way. LEO: Obligations to work and family leave you short on personal time, Leo. Though your schedule is hectic, make time to unwind and you will be glad for having done so. VIRGO: It may take a while to convince someone to go along with your idea, Virgo. Yet once you have this person’s support, they will be fully on board. LIBRA: You may have been bouncing around aimlessly for some time, Libra. But now is the week to get all of your affairs together and put your plan for the future in motion. SCORPIO: Restlessness can sometimes be a dangerous thing for you, Scorpio. Channel any restlessness into a worthy project that makes good use of your boundless energy. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, make the best of a situation that needs changing. You might not be able to affect change, but that does not mean you can’t improve the situation with a positive attitude. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

EACH RACK. ROAST THE CAULIFLOWER FOR 20 MINUTES. REMOVE FROM THE OVEN AND LET COOL. LET THE CHICKEN ROAST FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 TO 15 MINUTES (30 TO 35 MINUTES TOTAL), UNTIL A MEAT THERMOMETER REGISTERS 160 F. REMOVE FROM THE OVEN AND COOL. TO MAKE THE MAYONNAISE, WHISK THE EGG YOLK WITH THE VINEGAR, SALT, PEPPER, AND MUSTARD IN A BOWL. WHEN WELL COMBINED, BEGIN ADDING THE OIL VERY SLOWLY, A FEW DROPS AT A TIME, UNTIL ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE OIL HAS FORMED A SMOOTH EMULSION WITH THE YOLK. ADD THE REMAINING OIL IN A SLOW, STEADY STREAM, WHISKING CONSTANTLY. TO THIS HALF-CUP

OF BASIC MAYO, ADD THE SCALLIONS, CURRY POWDER AND THE GRATED ONION. TASTE FOR SEASONING AND ADJUST AS NEEDED, AND REFRIGERATE UNTIL READY TO USE. TO PREPARE AND SERVE THE SALAD, WHEN THE CHICKEN IS COOL, REMOVE AND DISCARD THE SKIN, CUT THE MEAT FROM THE BONE, AND DICE IT INTO 1/2-INCH PIECES. GIVE THE CAULIFLOWER A ROUGH CHOP SO THE PIECES ARE NO MORE THAN 1/2 INCH. IN A LARGE BOWL, COMBINE THE CHICKEN, CAULIFLOWER, MAYO, CASHEWS, AND RAISINS AND TOSS UNTIL WELL MIXED. TASTE FOR SEASONING, ADDING MORE SALT, PEPPER OR CURRY IF YOU LIKE. SCOOP THE SALAD ONTO TOASTED BREAD AND ENJOY.

A day of reflection ~ Cambodia captures my heart

Our visit to Angkor Wat followed that profound experience with the beggar twelfth century. Over time it had evolved into a Buddhist temple complex. History is woman and her son. In retrospect, I see that everything afterward appeared different carved in bas relief on the walls and Joseph showed us places that told of invasions to me. and wars, activities such as fishing, dancing, building, as well as portrayals of other The next morning, after a delicious breakfast, we stepped outside the hotel to nations’ presence. be picked up by tuktuk and taken to the famous World Heritage Site for a day of We pressed on after stopping for a meal of noodles and bottled water, always exploring. a safe combination. The heat and humidity were building to an intolerable level. Before we had walked through the gates of the “official” site, we were accosted Because we were in Cambodia in April, we were experiencing their hot, dry season by a few children from the ages of perhaps five years to early teens. They surrounded which simply meant that it wasn’t pouring rain most of the time.

Eventually we found ourselves at the end of the long walk through the many The pressure was nearly unendurable and Paul couldn’t stand it. He caved in and lesser buildings. We had reached the large pool where we met our tuktuk driver who MERRILYN HUYCKE bought two little bracelets from one child and then the game was on! Instantly the took us back to the hotel.

Sharon got very firm, scowling at them and asking them why they weren’t in school. I slept, wrote in my journal and checked the weather on the hotel computer. It had (Education is theoretically free for all children up to high school.)

Cambodia had captured my heart. I remember we knew that. Gradually the little entrepreneurs dispersed and began looking around for more reading of the horrors of torture, starvation and imprisonment that left an estimated 1.7 to 3 million people dead in the 1970’s. I could not imagine how they could bear that kind of pain. When foreigners to bedevil as we headed toward the main entrance of the temples. Angkor Wat is overwhelming in its complexity. It is also in a state of constant decay and we visited a young pastor in Siem Reap, he shared that his family, although very poor, was getting when we toured, many of the walls were obscured by scaffolding or blocked right off from any plenty of healthy fruit and vegetables to eat and that they were eager to forget the horrific past and exploration. The Banyan trees grow around, beside and over the structures,m pushing and raising move on with forgiveness. And so we left Cambodia for Vietnam once again. We would be attending a concert with those sandstone walls out of place. It is melancholy, with very little colour, the structures being a uniform, dark and dull gray. The original series of sandstone temples was Hindu, built in the Maestro Simon’s youth orchestra and looked forward with great anticipation!

CORMACK DONALD JOHN: It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Donald John Cormack on December 20, 2013. Donald and his twin brother David were born on December 21, 1943 in Vancouver, BC. Donald is predeceased by his twin brother David, mother Alma Sallay and his brother-inlaw Leonard Kelsey. Donald is survived by his sister Alice Kelsey from Cabri, Saskatchewan and nephews and niece; Lonnie, Lorrie, Lindsay, Lance, Kelsey and families. Donald moved from Princeton, BC to Kamloops in the spring of 2013 in order to be closer to family. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, taking care of his dog Jake, playing cards, playing Bingo and scratching lottery tickets. Whenever possible Donald went to Saskatchewan to the family cabin at Clearwater Lake. This was one of his favorite things to do and he looked forward to drinking coffee and playing cards on the deck. The family would like to thank Lisa Carleton and Lynn Johnson from Princeton for being such great friends to Don and for all their help over the years. We would also like to thank The Dengarry Professional Group and caregiver Charisa and family from Kamloops for the great care Don received from them this past year.
