Jury hears defence in hate crime trial AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter
Defence continues Wednesday in Arthur Topham’s hate crime trial. The 12-member jury heard from Gilad Atzmon, a Jewish identity politics expert. Atzmon spoke of identifiable traits of the Jewish people, religion, politics, history, his background (including the fact he was born
in Israel) and a variety of books, passages and theories. “Some [Jewish people] identify with ancestry, some with religion and some with politics,” he said. “And that [politics] we can be critical of.” Atzmon pointed to a number of literary pieces in which he stated solidified his testimony. “It’s OK for them to be critical amongst themselves, but not for

a gentile (non-Jew),” he stated. “This must be subject to criticism.” Atzmon then went on to discuss the Holocaust, noting “no one denies Jews were persecuted, it was a horrible chapter in history.” But highlighted his opinion the Holocaust has “all the symptoms of an organized religion.” Defence then asked if Atzmon believed Israel Must Perish, authored by Topham, and one of the
pieces under scrutiny for the charge, was a satire. “Yes,” Atzmon replied. Defence then questioned certain books published on Topham’s site, radicalpress.com, asking if the literary pieces could be found elsewhere, to which Atzmon replied “certainly” noting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion can also be found in audio form. “It opens the room for discussion [Protocols],” Atzmon said.
“In a free society we must be able to elaborate on anything that is out there, and yes, we may come across ideas that are uncomfortable.” Gilad Atzmon

In a free society we must be able to elaborate on anything that is out there, and yes, we may come across ideas that are uncomfortable.” Topham was arrested and his house searched in May 16, 2012 after it was determined “there were reasonable grounds the offence of promotion of hatred was committed.” Closing statements are expected Friday.

Cybele Young, who is an artist, illustrator and author was in B.C. for the Vancouver Writers Festival “Writer in Residence” program, which took place in Quesnel. For a week an author is chosen to go to a community outside of the main urban centre of Vancouver and spend time with members of that community. Young spent everyday at Correlieu Secondary working with a group of 10 students to understand the process of creating written work. She provided them with insights into her creative process and had sessions for the students, so by
the end of the week they could create a stop time animated film documenting their week’s work. She also had two sessions focusing on understanding the process of creating. Young talked about her own experiences creating books, such as “Some Things I’ve Lost” and “Nancy Know’s”. She also led the group through her process of creating miniature paper sculptures. The opportunity to have Young in Quesnel was a collaboration between Literacy Quesnel Society, Vancouver Writers Festival and community groups who helped sponsor and support the event.

Planned burning treats up to 400 hectares east of Riske Creek
The B.C. Wildfire Service advises that an ecosystem restoration burn is planned for an area east of Riske Creek between Nov. 2 and Dec. 31, 2015, weather conditions permitting. The planned burn will treat up to 400 hectares on Beecher’s Prairie south of Highway 20 and will help restore native grassland ecosystems. This controlled burn is part of a larger ecosystem restoration project on Beecher’s Prairie. Mechanical removal of trees (“slashing”) was completed in the area last winter to reduce tree encroachment on natural
grasslands. The upcoming ecosystem restoration burn is intended to reduce the remaining fuel load from that work. In spring 2016, low-intensity ground fires will be introduced to the area as a follow-up treatment. All of these efforts will help restore and maintain the traditional grassland plant communities that are native to this area. This ecosystem restoration work will also lead to an increase in forage area for livestock and decrease the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Historically, grasslands in

Such fires prevented tree encroachment, rejuvenated understory plants and helped maintain open grasslands and forests with large trees.
The Beecher’s Prairie project is part of an ongoing ecosystem restoration program administered by the provincial government through the CaribooChilcotin Ecosystem Restoration Committee. This committee was formed in 2008 to support ecosystem restoration efforts within the CaribooChilcotin region. It includes representatives from the provincial and federal governments, local First Nations, the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association and various conservation groups, as well as forestry professionals.

Hope Air, a registered national charity, arranges free flights to those who can’t afford the cost of an airline ticket to get to medical expertise or specialized medical technologies outside their home communities. “We recognize that sometimes British Columbian’s must travel for the care they need,” Lake said. “This funding ensures that patients of all ages have access to the specialized services they need to get well, no matter where in the province they live.” Hope Air arranges flights through participating commercial airlines for those in financial need with a confirmed medical appointment. In 2014, 5,098 flights were arranged through Hope Air, and for the first three months of 2015, 1,668 trips were organized. “When someone in your family is ill it is hard enough to find the strength to cope with the day to day challenges

PUBLIC HEARING
Stretching it Out Members of the Quesnel River Archery Club go through a warm up stretching exercise before their practice.
Judges get retroactive 4.9 % raise TOM FLETCHER Black Press One group of employees that escaped the B.C. government’s caps on pay increases is the 155 provincial court judges. The judges’ association has won a court challenge of a 1.5 per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the fiscal year ended in March 2014. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent. The cost of the retroactive raise is estimated at $2.67 million for that year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will challenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-15, which brought their salaries to $236,950. “This will have an impact on our fiscal plan,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton told reporters. “And as you know government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our philosophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally fit into the same pattern that public service salaries fit into.” Starting in 2013, the province negotiated five-year contracts with health care, social services and other unions with raises between one and 1.5 per cent per year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong intro-
duced the concept of “growth sharing” to achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the provincial economy exceeds independent forecasts. The judges’ association lost its
initial challenge of the 2013-14 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.

Reinstitute
N
ow that he’s in power, Justin Trudeau is being asked to reverse a whole raft of things the Stephen Harper Conservatives did during their decade in office. From re-opening the Kitsilano coast guard station to unmuzzling Canada’s government scientists, a lot of things are being suggested. We think one of the most crucial changes Trudeau should make posthaste is to reinstitute the long form census. Officials who have been in charge of directing collection of long form census data in the past have said that time is drawing short if we want it back in time for May 2016. But what’s the nitty-gritty? Why is the census so important to the average citizen? It’s important because the census tells us who we are. It tells us where we are living and how we are living and how we are doing, and who needs what. Having this information widely available to Canada’s citizens is vital to the continuation of our democracy and the advancement of our country. We have to know who we are to plan where we are going. This is how we argue for or against spending money on this or that. This is how we know where our government is doing a good job and where more work is needed. This was one of the primary problems with the voluntary survey — those who were the most marginalized were the least likely to fill it out, thus becoming even more invisible. Everyone from provincial governments to heads of a variety of agencies and charities has expressed just how vital the information the census provides us is. Trudeau has promised to bring the mandatory long form census back, and many predict he will do so in time for next spring. This one is the low-hanging fruit on the road to making nice with the voting public. It’s almost impossible to be against such a move. But if the Liberals need one more nudge, here it is. –BP

Feeling love at first sight
n March 23rd our beloved dog of five years vanished without a trace and we’ve been looking for him ever since. Charlie was a 30 pound white Cockapoo that looked similar to many other dogs, so there have been several false sightings that had us running around the first few months. There were also many pictures of looka-like pups sent to us from nice people through social media that never ended up being him. It happened again on September 10th when a dog identified as a Wheaton Terrier was posted to the Selkirk Veterinary Hospital’s Facebook page and people started asking if it was ours. He looked so much like Charlie my heart raced when I first saw the photo. It was late at night, but I immediately sent messages and left voicemails with the vet clinic and the Nelson SPCA where he had been turned in. The next morning at 7:30 am I received a call from Rob at the SPCA who said the well groomed dog did not have an ear tattoo so it likely wasn’t ours. His height and weight seemed significantly smaller as well. I wanted to go to Nelson and check him out for myself, but it was a four and a half hour drive away.
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note Instead I stayed in contact with Rob as well as the vet clinic and obsessively checked his post online for further developments. It was said he’d been abandoned on the side of the highway by a couple of men that brought him in. It appeared he’d been tethered around his neck and hung or swung from it, causing bloody lacerations and bulging eyes from the apparent choking. The little guy was in very rough shape and was understandably despondent. Rob tried to phone the men that had dropped him off and ask more questions but the number they left didn’t work. Despite thousands of shares of his online posts no one claimed him and I excitedly drove out to Nelson to meet him on September 19th hoping to adopt him since he was in need of a loving family. When I arrived at the foster home and saw him for the first time any high
When I arrived home it was love at first sight for them too. Even our dog Lola was wagging her tail, eager to play with her new brother. Buster was so zoned out on medication he just laid around not reacting to much for the first week. He’d hobble about briefly with two of his legs looking double jointed and a crooked spine that had us all wondering what could have happened. His bones jutted out from being malnourished, but our veterinarian Dr. Oz checked him out and predicted he’d regain his appetite and be wagging his tail soon enough. He was right. As he’s become healthier and happier he still acts like he’s missing someone and I can’t help but wonder if there’s a family out there longing for him the way we still long for our lost Charlie. But regardless of the past or the future, sweet little Buster has helped mend our broken hearts in the present with all the joy and love he’s brought into our home. We’ll never stop looking for Charlie Brown, but we’re so grateful to now have Buster Brown. Hopefully a miracle has them meeting one day soon. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

hopes I had that it might be Charlie were dashed in an instant as the much smaller bandaged version of him limped towards me with his tail sticking between his legs. But my heart also melted. I sat on the couch with him in my arms and I wanted to take care of him forever. The wonderful retired nurse that had been tending to him showed me all his medications and thought it best he stay with her for another week until he was better, but I knew I could handle his schedule of pills, ointments and eye drops and convinced her and the SPCA I was a worthy caregiver. Wendy and her husband had given him the temporary name of Buster which astounded me since that’s exactly the name we had chosen for him. Our dogs Charlie and Lola had been given the runner up names we’d picked out for our children and since I tried hard to convince my husband to name our son Buster when Sam was in my belly, it only made sense to all of us that our new pup should get that moniker. Wendy teared up saying goodbye to him and I teared up signing the adoption papers. I took pictures of Buster and sent them to my husband and kids.

Reconciliation means a meaningful step Editor: Re: Myths of the Highway of Tears (B.C. Views, Oct. 28). Tom Fletcher’s column triggered my memory of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election. The Highway of Tears is not a myth and using mythology in the title of that column is an insult to the hundreds of Aboriginal families who have lost loved ones as a result of many tragedies that have occurred on that road and across this country. The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sussex Drive has promised an inquiry into the disproportionate number of murders and disappearances that continue to occur in the Aboriginal population. It would be hoped that an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and colour of systemic issues inherent in Canadian institutions that help perpetuate these tragedies, and that the new federal government will commit to real solutions from its recommendations. The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 recommendations that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process. The TRC has helped many Canadians to understand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve and to help them move Canadians individually and collectively to a reconciliation commitment. Those current and future problems will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general non-native population. Improving the transportation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the dysphoria that has dominated Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve. Reconciliation Canada (reconciliationcanada.ca) is a key agent of change in this space and is dedicated to building meaningful relationships where all Canadians achieve their full potential and shared prosperity. Getting informed is the first step. Stepping into this discourse is the next. I am stepping in. Carl Mashon Victoria

Twinning papers are signed
A new municipal government and twinning was on This is the third installment of the history of Quesnel/Shiraoi Twinning experience. he citizens of Quesnel were ready for a change, with a 68 per cent voter turn-out for the Nov. 15, 1980 civic election. Mike Pearce took top spot as Mayor along with four new councillors and incumbent councillors Wilma Hanson and Joe Morris. Alec LeBrun, a new face to politics, came in with the highest number of votes. Other newly elected
T
councillors were Amar Bagri, Gorden Murry and Pat Chubb. On April 16, 1981, Quesnel City Council and Shiraoi Town Assembly, confirmed the agreement to formalize the twinning. The new council for 1981 embraced the twinning concept, approving the trip to Shiraoi for Mayor Mike Pearce. The new council members were much more generous towards Mayor Pearce than the previous council was for John Panagrot, approving the full $2,000 cost for the
trip. July 12, 1981 marked a three-day trip to Shiraoi to formalize the twinning with Mayor Yamate. Mayor Mike Pearce and his wife Sandy, along with Larry Ozero, the assistant deputy of finance for School District #28 and his wife Sylvia, were off to Japan. The twinning was signed on July 13, 1981 by the cities’ mayors. The twinning was televised both locally and on Japan’s national television. The Japanese took the twinning very seriously;
Quesnel’s delegation was received by the governor of Hokkaido on a trip to Sapporo. Mayor Pearce and Larry Ozero visited Midorigaoka elementary school in Shiraoi and initiated an agreement to twin with Lakeview elementary school. The major highlight for the men was meeting the school children of all seven grades. Each grade put on a performance, and the entire school sang “O Canada” in English. The delegation was especially impressed by
the high degree of organization and efficiency the children displayed: they all stood attentively for an hour during the ceremony and their neatness and enthusiasm to perform for the occasion was notable. The delegation spent three days in Shiraoi, along with seven days touring several cities including Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Eddy Yoshie of Daishowa Shiraoi was their tour guide and translator for the entire trip; he was sponsored by Daishowa International. Larry Ozero covered his
own expenses while Mike Pearce covered the seven days of his tour. Much twinning activity proceeded: the twinning of the Lions Club, Rotary Club, proposed school twinnings, as well as the proposal by Shiraoi’s Chamber of Commerce to study cold weather housing. This tiny twinning seedling was sprouting branches and was fast becoming a family tree. So the question is: Who, Why and What is the Twinning? - submitted by Phil Demers

Jesus is the living water
Over the next few weeks allow me to take you on a tour of Quesnel and share with you what I see each day and where I see God in it. love to stroll along the River Front Trail, whether I am sweating in the heat of summer, marvelling at the autumn colours or dodging icy patches in the cool of winter. This past fall I even walked along Baker Creek and took in the salmon run. We truly live in a beautiful location, and are privileged to have such a vast and beautiful river valley system with the intersection of the Fraser River, Quesnel River, and all its many tributaries. You might say we are “where the rivers meet.” If you think about it, the rivers really define the lifestyle in this city. While we are never far from water, for me it is a constant reminder that Jesus is the living water and those who drink of Him will thirst no more. Revelation 22:1-5 tells of another river – a heavenly river:
I
Lt. Laura Van Schaick
Salvation Army “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.” A favourite hymn at the Salvation
Army and the nursing homes where we often meet to sing hymns is Shall We Gather At The River. While we often gather at the banks of the rivers in town, may we all live today with eternity in our hearts as we all hope to meet one day at that river in heaven that flows by the throne of God! Let’s Pray: God, we are so thankful for the way your creation reminds us of truths that are found in your Word. Thank you for the promise of heaven. May it be our heart’s desire to meet with you and all of the believers at the banks of the river of the water of life when we are one day called home. Amen. Laura Van Schaick is a lieutenant with the Salvation Army Quesnel Corps.

Give pause on Remembrance Day A field of poppies has come to symbolize the soldiers who lost their lives while fighting in battle.
Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices, and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. In the United States, people honor their present and past military on Veterans’ Day. In British commonwealth countries and territories, including Canada, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day.
Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950. Remembrance Day evolution Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay hommage to any fallen soldier. Each year a national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, a monument erected as a memorial to soldiers buried elsewhere. The Queen will lay the first wreath at the Cenotaph,
while others will leave wreaths and small wooden crosses. In Canada, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in many provinces and territories. Official national ceremonies are held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Events begin with the tolling of the Carillon in the Peace Tower, during which members of the Canadian Forces participate and congregate at Confederation Square. Similar ceremonies take place in provincial capitals across the country. Very often moments of silence are offered for lost lives. What about the poppies? One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died in order that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the
ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem, titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side, because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

It was an age of patriotism ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
As the custodian of many veteran stories, I assume that role with much humility and admiration for the contributions, big and small, made by these veterans. Two such veterans are Jean and Reg Muir. t the age of 18, in 1943, Reg was desperate to sign up and tried to enlist in the Airforce, Navy or the Merchant Marine but finally enlisted in the Army in the Armoured Tank Core in Vancouver. After basic training in Vernon, B.C., Reg was posted to Camp Borden where he took courses in wireless and gunnery and just before Christmas 1943 he finally got his posting overseas to somewhere in England where he was to take more courses in wireless and gunnery. “In his letters he could tell me some details but never where he was or what he was doing,” Jean said. Jean and Reg had dated as teenagers in Williams Lake, she was at boarding school and he lived nearby. Before he shipped overseas, Reg made the journey to Victoria to see Jean, she was going to school there at the time. The couple promised to stay in touch through letters. That was the only form of communication for the enlisted and their families and loved ones. Through his letters, Jean pieced together a sketch of Reg’s life at that time. He wrote of the big trench dug in their tent so when the air raid signal sounded during the enemy bombing of London and area, the men would dive into the trench.

Squadron 3 CACRV Canadian Army Overseas After one bombing when their tent was spared they emerged to find the church next to them was demolished and an unexploded bomb was just behind their tent. Jean remarked their guardian angel was looking after them. During another air raid Reg had to jump off one of the massive tanks and severely damaged his knee. As a result, he had to transfer from the Armoured Tank Core to the Transport Core. His job then became the piloting of huge tank trucks, during the black outs, through London to the seaports to be shipped over for the troops. Reg drove the lead truck on one of the convoys and during the blackout they found themselves at a dead end and had a massive job to turn the convoy around. Although he desperately wanted to go into combat, his knee was so bad he was sent home with a pension. By this time Jean had enlisted and the letters between them became less and less until finally they stopped. It was more

Rolling North to Westerbork, Delfzijl and Victory This is the third in a trio of articles Fred Rogger wrote about his battlefields and cemeteries tour in the Netherlands. He was exploring the Canadian experience there in the Second World War. e again see geography dictate the terms of the battlefield in the Rhineland campaign. Operation Market Garden was about A Bridge Too Far (a movie too long!), and the need to secure bridges across the Rhine by dropping 35,000 troops behind enemy lines because if they had attacked head on the Germans would have blown all the bridges while retreating. No bridges? No largest airborne drop and attack in history. The failure of Market Garden did then necessitate a frontal attack across the rolling hills of eastern Holland and western Germany, the subsequent destruction of several bridges by the retreating Germans, and the use by the Allies of the longest bailey bridges in history. Huge artillery and tank battles result in the largest set piece military action in history as Operation Veritable, Blockbuster and Plunder result in the destruction of German resistance and the securing of the remaining bridges and crossings of the Rhine. Again, if you don’t control the Rhine River valley, you don’t get to the Ruhr industrial heartland and the capital Berlin. Around the communities of Apeldoorn and Putten we learned that securing the smaller rivers and their river plains was crucial for the Canadian army’s strategy to drive northward and cut off the German garrison in north western Holland. The lessons learned in the Breskens Pocket and Walcheren are used here as buffaloes traverse the rivers, deploying infantry and gear quickly, catching the faltering and scattering Germans on their heels. The “Water Rats” were at it again! Pressing northward with speed the Canadians find human tragedy on a massive scale when they liberate the Westerbork transit camp. Used by the Nazis to round up Jews and other “undesirables” before transferring them to the death camps in the east, Westerbork is synonymous the world over with evil. Anne Frank, and over one hundred thousand other Dutch people, were shipped like cattle to places like Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz, never to return. The final objective for the Canadian army was Delfzijl on the North sea, which was finally taken on the 2nd of May, 1945, six days before the official end of the war. The people of the Netherlands were starving and many of their cities destroyed, but with massive food drops by the Canadian army, and renewed hope for a better world, the rebuilding began immediately. And the tight bond between the people of the Netherlands and Canada has simply grown stronger ever since. – submitted by Fred Rogger

Kangaroos dominate Kitimat in physical affair RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter The Quesnel Kangaroos defeated the Kitimat Ice Demons 10-2 this past weekend at Two Twins Arena. Quesnel had another offensive surge firing 10 goals past Kitimat’s goaltenders and out shot them 5925. The ‘Roos started the scoring in the first period courtesy of Ryan Skinner who came down the right wing and beat Kitimat’s Brett Vilness with a wrist shot. After gaining the lead the ‘Roos surrendered two quick goals to finish the period, but regrouped in the second. That period saw them record five goals that forced Kitimat to pull their goalie. As the period came to an end it became a more physical
game, as Quesnel’s Mike Wakita received a two minute penalty and a 10 minute misconduct for a hit to the head. The physicality continued in the third, as a fight broke out between Kitimat’s Jason Carty and the ‘Roos Ryan Reynolds with both players receiving five minutes for fighting and game misconducts. Quesnel finished the game off with four goals to record the win, bringing their winning streak to three games. The offence was led to by Justin Fulton who recorded a hat-trick. Quesnel’s next game will be Saturday Nov. 14 when they take on their rivals the Williams Lake Stampeders, which will be a battle of the top two teams in the east division with the ‘Roos sitting second and Williams Lake first.
