Remembrance Day Ceremonies in Bella Coola enjoyed a large community turnout

Women veterans and “quiet heroes” honoured at Remembrance Day Ceremonies BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Remembrance Day services were held once again the Valley last week with a focus on local veterans. SAMS school honoured our surviving local veterans and their spouses Bob and June Draney, Theresa Reynolds, Floyd and Inez Mecham, Ed and Bridget Falch, and Clarence Hall at a luncheon on Tuesday, November 10. Regular services were held at the Cenotaph in Hagensborg with Dr. Alistair Anderson leading the march on the bagpipes, followed by veterans Clarence Hall and Ed Falk, the local Rangers and the RCMP. Legion President Ron Richards, providing background on the local veterans, explained that Bob
Draney and Floyd Mecham both served overseas and do not attend the services, likely not wanting to recall the horrors they experienced. Clarence Hall was an American POW in a German Concentration Camp, and Ed Falk was a very young man in the Danish Resistance – ending up in a camp as well at the age of 14, while Theresa Reynolds was involved with communications in the Royal Canadian Air Force. “We have received many good comments regarding the ceremony this year. We have been getting more people turn out every year,” said Richards. “It seems that more and more people are concerned with what is going on and are appreciative of what happened in the
past.” Outside at the Cenotaph Trenton Saugstad played “Last Post” as community members observed a minute of silence. Services continued inside the Augsburg Church facilitated by the local Pastor. Among the veterans seated near the front was 92-year old Theresa Reynolds, mother of longtime Bella Coola resident Diane Skelly. Notably the only surviving female veteran in the Valley, Reynolds was twice a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, first joining in her early 20s. “She was initially a hospital cook in the Royal Canadian Air Force in WWII,” said Skelly. “She was stationed in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario.”
Skelly said that while her mother loved her time in the forces, she didn’t talk about it much. She joined a second time, during the Cold War, and was trained in wireless radio operations in Ontario. “She was fluent in Morse code and travelled to Whitehorse to listen in on the Russians,” said Skelly. “She absolutely loved her time in the north, and says she can still remember the sights and sounds of the northern lights.” Reynolds was the recipient of several medals and badges: the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, the War Medal, and War Service Badges. During the Second World War, the role of women in Canadian society changed
dramatically. Canada needed women to pitch in and support the war effort from their homes, to work at jobs that were traditionally held by men, and to serve in the military. Canadian women enthusiastically embraced their new roles and responsibilities and helped contribute to the success of Canada's Victory Campaign. Out of a total Canadian population of 11 million people, only about 600,000 Canadian women held permanent jobs when the war started. During the war, their numbers doubled to 1,200,000. At the peak of wartime employment in 1943-44, 439,000 women worked in the service sector, 373,000 in manufacturing and 4,000 in construction.
With their sons overseas, many farm women had to take on extra work. One Alberta mother of nine sons - all of them either in the army or away working in factories - drove the tractor, plowed the fields, put up hay, and hauled grain to elevators, along with tending her garden, raising chickens, pigs and turkeys, and canning hundreds of jars of fruits and vegetables. Women who worked with lumberjacks and loggers during the war were called “lumberjills.” Many Canadian women wanted to play an active role in the war and lobbied the government to form military organizations for women.

Skills for Life Summit connects local SAMS students with B.C. Lions Watching the BC Lions score a touchdown and then joining them the next day for workshops on various trades and anti-bullying campaigns is just some of the excitement surrounding two local Sir Alexander Mackenzie School students, all a part of the groundwork when you’re a spectator during the final regular season CFL game while also being a participate of the province’s Find Your Fit program. Enter the 2015 B.C. Lion’s Skills for Life Summit. “Byron Knox and Drew Desaulniers, along with SAMS Youthcare worker, Lorri Tuck flew on a Friday, and on Saturday, where 3 of the many spectators at the Lions last regular season game,” Principal of SAMS, Jeremy Baillie explained. “Then on Sunday is when the actual summit with the B.C. Lions took place.” Half of the summit is focused on Find Your Fit, a provincewide educational program aimed at students from grade 7 – 9 in an effort to teach them about trades and offer a head start for some hands-on
learning, as well as potential dual credits and apprenticeships. “It’s a great program. I was lucky enough to take two students to it last year. There’s just been a real focus within the school system, around the Find Your Fit program specifically, and exposing students more to what kind of job opportunities are out there, or are predicted to be out there,” Baillie says of the unusual partnership between the Lions and the province’s trades industry. The other half of the summit is more to the style of the CFL’s community engagement. “The B.C. Lions have a couple of programs they’ll be offering on Sunday around ‘Erase Bullying’ and ‘Be More Than a Bystander’, so that certainly addresses bullying issues in schools – around the community – as well they shine a light on the issues around violence towards females,” said Baillie. Both Byron and Drew were pretty excited to be going and looked forward to learning about “all the jobs that they can be doing when
Byron Knox and Drew Desaulniers were the two SAMS students participating in this year's "Skills For Life Summit" they grow up, and tell everybody about ‘Erase Bullying’.” While the boys were in Vancouver they also took in the most
recent production of Cirque de Soleil – “Kooza” and went to Canada Place for “Fly over Canada”, an interactive expe-
rience, where participants experience what it would be like to fly completely over Canada. The 2015 B.C.
Lion’s Skills for Life Summit is a joint effort between the Ministry of Education, the B.C. Lions, and Pacific NorthWest
LNG. A total of 122 students from across the province (two from each school district) were chosen for the trip to Vancouver.
Ron Mayo a "quiet hero" FROM PAGE 1 In 1941-42, the military was forever changed as it created its own women's forces. Women were now able, for the first time in our history, to serve Canada in uniform. More than 50,000 women served in the armed forces during the Second World War. 4,480 Nursing Sisters (as Canadian military nurses were known) served in the war 3,656 in the Canadian Women's Army Corps, 481 in the Women's Division of the Royal Canadian Air Force and 343 in the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service. Many of these women found themselves within range of enemy guns and some lost their lives. The day also includ-
ed a special tribute to Ron Mayo, a long-time resident of the Valley at a WWII veteran of the British Army. When he passed in 2012, Ron left a legacy to the local Legion in his will. The funds were used to purchase a flagpole that was erected at the Cenotaph. “Ron Mayo was known to most of us as a gentle man who lived at Stuie since moving to the Valley in 1986. He was an exceptionally skilled photographer and videographer of wildlife, and as a WWII British Veteran was a welcome presence with us here on Remembrance Day. Ron served in the British infantry, and then as a surveyor and cartographer. What is less known is that he received special

Aftermath of Paris attacks threatens vulnerable refugees BY DR. ANDREW LODGE Published in the National Observer Opinion “We are here because we are also of afraid of these people,� a Syrian woman says as she looks at me with fear and desperation. She is speaking of the Islamic State, or Daesh as it is also known in the Arab world. “You must believe us. Daesh is our enemy as well.� I am speaking with the woman in a makeshift refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, the first point of landfall for many refugees undertaking the harrowing Aegean Sea crossing. Only an hour ago, she had literally stepped off a precarious raft and into Europe. The news of the Paris attacks is fresh on everyone’s minds. In the hours following the massacre in Paris, information emerged that one of the attackers allegedly came through Greece via the nearby island of Leros, passing as a refugee claimant, just as many had feared would happen. For some, such news provides confirmation that an extremist fifth column—Islamic State or otherwise—is entering Europe amidst the exodus of people from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond. The events in Paris hold massive gamechanging potential for the current crucible that is the European
refugee crisis. The court of public opinion in Europe— and by extension in North America—has remained in a tense deadlock between those supporting the provision of asylum and shelter, and those who believe the arrivals should be pushed back. The attacks threaten to shift that balance of opinion against the would-be refugees, and the implications are enormous. Not only have refugees fled violence and persecution, but in the process of fleeing, the vast majority have lost everything. A forced return would be nothing short of catastrophic—and in many cases, deadly. Even before Paris, the refugees were clearly vulnerable and visibly desperate. Now, in the aftermath, this has transformed into outright fear. The rhetoric emerging out of France and the rest of the West— standing in ‘solidarity’ with France—clearly draws lines in the sand. To paraphrase the words of France President François Hollande, war has been declared. He has promised to be “merciless,â€? whatever that exactly means. Such positions never bode well for the liminal stateless. As they themselves no doubt suspect, the refugees are now likely bound for yet another inhospitable destination. The question should nevertheless remain: how does a decent society respond to this

Refugees arrive on the island of Lesbos, where Bella Coola physician Dr. Andrew Lodge is presently working current tragic mess? Not only in terms of the response to extremism, but also to how we respond to the the millions of dispossessed emptying out of Central Asia and the Middle East and arriving on the Europe’s doorstep, looking for a new home and future. In the long term, the latter may figure more importantly, for both the refugees and the West alike. At this juncture, there are no simple answers. But we can take stock. Death in Paris. Death in Beirut. Ongoing civilian casualties in the carnage that continues in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and so on. A horrible but virtually mundane reality for many in the region.

ourselves that Muslim people worldwide are by far the most targeted victims of extremist attacks: the 2014 Peshawar school attack in Pakistan, to name one of many examples, which killed 141 people, including 132 schoolchildren. It is also of course worth remembering that the West is in no small part complicit in, and responsible for, the current tragedies. We helped create the Mujahideen, the forebearers of today’s Taliban. We support and arm Saudi Arabia, who in turn builds madrassas (Islamic religious schools) that promote fundamentalist Wahhabism— a rigid version of Islam that nurtures extremism around the world, from
Africa to the Middle East to Southeast Asia. Wahhabi madrassas provide the ideological foundations for recruits to organizations like Al Qaeda and IS. Then there is the little matter of our own direct involvement in the region. American, British, French—and yes, Canadian—forces, among others, have been on the ground and launched endless air and drone attacks in the Middle East, which have resulted in thousands of dead civilians. While it may not be clear exactly how to move forward, at the very least—at some point—if an effective, secure, and just pathway out of the morass is to be found, we need to ensure that our actions do not contin-
ue to make the current situation worse. The discussion needs to start at that seemingly obvious assumption. As citizens, we must press our governments not to respond in reaction, but instead to look to our own role—and to the oft-maligned root causes—in order to begin crafting a solution for the long-term. We as a society also desperately need a return to basic ethical principles. As McGill Political Science professor Rex Brynen wrote on a recent blog: “The broader question, however, is whether fear of a few evil men (or women) will lead us to sacrifice our basic moral commitment to fellow human beings flee-
ing war, oppression, and deprivation. I, for one, am not prepared to grant [IS] a veto over refugee policy or humanitarian obligations.� Back at the refugee camp, the woman I have met is joined by her husband and their daughter, who smiles brightly at me. She appears to have cerebral palsy and cannot walk. For them, the sea crossing must have been especially harrowing. The man holds her in his arms and strokes her hair gently. His face too is troubled and he does not make eye contact. The woman looks at me again. She is weeping. “We are friends,� she says, finally. “Humanity.�

Prime Minister Trudeau orders crude oil tanker traffic moratorium for B.C. North Coast BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s is calling for a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s North Coast. Trudeau outlined the directive in a mandate letter to Canada's transport minister, Marc Garneau, on Friday. In it, he asked Garneau to formalize the agreement with three other ministries: fisheries, natural resources and environment. Environmental leaders are applauding the move, saying it effectively kills Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline; a controversial project that has dominated B.C. headlines for years and was given approval by the Harper government in June of last year with 209 conditionals. “This ban ends the dangerous Northern Gateway pipeline proposal” said Karen Mahon in a statement from ForestEthics, an environmental group that advocates for the protection of B.C.'s coast. “Without tankers, crude oil has no place to go, that means no pipelines, no oil trains moving tarsands to the northern B.C. coast.” In October, eight B.C. First Nations went to federal court to in a legal attack to stop the project, and a total of 18 First Nations lawsuits were filed. The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Phillip says he was pleased the Liberals
fulfilled the tanker ban promise made in the election. “Without a means to convey the bitumen to Asian markets — Enrbridge's Northern Gateway's proposal is literally dead in the water,” said Grand Chief Phillip on Friday. Enbridge said in a statement that despite the mandate for a moratorium on tanker traffic, it is confident the federal government will consult with 26 of 45 First Nations that have signed on with the project about what impact a tanker ban could have on them and also a perceived economic boost for Western Canada. “We have made significant process building support on the B.C. coast and along the pipeline corridor,” said spokesman Ivan Giesbrecht. “Along with the project's aboriginal equity partners, we are looking forward to an opportunity to sit down with the new prime minister and his cabinet to provide an update on the progress of our project and our partnerships with First Nations and Métis people in Alberta and B.C.” Still, Enbridge says the earliest the pipeline could be built is 2019. The moratorium would require legislation and would no doubt prompt debate in the House of Commons. The moratorium does not apply, however, to LNG (liquified natural gas) tankers, which are expected to surge into the hundreds should the facilities in Prince Rupert and Kitimat get the green light.

Bella Coola man on cloud 6/49 thanks to $1 million win PRESS RELEASE It was Halloween when Bella Coola resident Larry Moody found out he won the Guaranteed $1 Million prize in the October 28, 2015 Lotto 6/49 draw. Moody says discovering the win on Halloween was the best treat ever. “I was at the convenience store when I decided to self-check my ticket. Initially, I thought I won $1000 so I asked the clerk if I could claim my prize,” recalled Moody. “She said that would be impossible because I won $1 Million. I couldn’t believe it!” Moody has big plans for his winnings but he will start with making a lifelong dream of his, a reality. “I have always wanted to open up a tire shop in Bella Coola and employ
my two sons. Right now people need to drive to Williams Lake for tires,” said Moody. “Now I can make this happen.” As for the very first purchase, Moody says he will buy all new furniture for his home. After that, he wants to make travel plans. The winning ticket was purchased at Thunderbird Grocery in Bella Coola. Every time a lottery ticket is purchased in B.C., it funds programs across the province. Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 7:30 p.m. (PT). Each draw includes a Guaranteed Prize Draw of $1 million. Players can purchase tickets at any lottery retailer or at PlayNow.com.
