In The Shadow of the Mountain y Doris Ray
Each year in December I used to purchase a magazine with psychic predictions for the upcoming year. I would tuck it in with the Christmas deco-rations, to be browsed through the following holiday season. And each year the predictions would be almost 100 percent wrong.
But in the mid-nineteen-seventies a seemingly ludicrous prediction was made on a TV comedy show called Laugh Inthat turned out to be amaz-ingly correct. Certain contentions were so deeply entrenched in our post-World-War-Two mindsets that they were regarded as facts of life. Oneof these was The Berlin Wall which separated East and West Germany. We knew the wall was not good but we thought it was there forever.
Rowan and Martin were a duo that had audiences in stitches long before Saturday Night Live.A regular feature on Laugh Inwas of the comediansportraying a stint called the News of the Future.One night Rowan announced that in the far-distant year of 1989 the Berlin Wall would comedown. To add to the hilarity, he said it would be replaced by a trench filled with alligators.
Sure enough, in November 1989, the wall did come down. (No alligators) It was so mind-boggling that my son Bruce wrote a poem about it.

BERLIN (The Divided Self) by Bruce Ray -circa 1989The wall! The wall is coming down!O glad night, that you could see this dayO bright heart, that you could speak these words
The wall; the knife that separatesBadge of the divided selfO hated wall you cannot speak
but if you couldYou would say NO!with cold guarded breath
The wall! The wall is coming down!I curse the hesitant that hold us backand I swear on my grave that I will diea free manBehold the soldierHow he stands with disbelief
No, he cannot believe his eyesBut the wall crumbles nevertheless
The divided self cannot endureThe crippled will walk anewand the stifled cry of lovers willchange the broken heart of manThe tyrant falls to pieceslike the shattered idol of the stateshiny and polished
but too fragile and delicateto withstand the wind of the peoplethat expands in angerand threatens to
bring down everyfoundationevery wall thatlives in us
The wall! The wall is coming down!Every heart is a crucible in darknessAnd every hand will rise to touch the sunRejoice! For the night is on fireOh, the stars are falling
but I am not afraidThis is not how they said it would be!Every spirit walks in splendorand every mouth is fed with food for the soul

My Country
Story by R. Parker Storey (written in 1977)I am a Canadian. I was born in Canada and I fought for Canada in the First World War. I spent nearly thirty of the last
months of the war rotting in a German Prisoner of War Camp. My kid brother (nicknamed Bill) was killed in action in 1916 whenhe was only sixteen years old. (in his Attestation Paper he said he was 18)
Much of the same kind of sacrifice and hardship applies to the hundreds of thousands of other Canadian boys and men who gladlyflocked to the colours in the time of our nations peril. Of these, tens of thousands like my brother paid the supreme sacrifice and now lay inFlanders Field and other scenes of action. Many more tens of thousands were horribly wounded. It was a horrendous price we men of theFirst World War paid, but we gained for our country, the admiration of our allies and the respect of our foes.
The men and women of the Second World War were magnificent. They too swarmed in from every province in Canadato serve in the airor landin the Navy and the Merchant Marines. They came in there hundreds of thousands to serve theircountry in its time of need. Again our boys paid an awful price. The killed and missing ran into the tens, and tens of thousands,buried in many parts of the world. The wounded into many, many more thousands. Those who survived could proudly hold theirheads high. They had made a very significant contribution towards winning the war. They had completed what the legendary sol-diers of World War One had started, world wide respect and recognition for our country, Canada.
At the end of WW 11 on September 2, 1945, our Canada had emerged as one of the truly great countries in the world,ranking seventh in power and importance. They had won the admiration and envy of all nations. That was over thirty-two yearsago. Now, while I think most of us would gladly do it all again, we are wondering, sadly, if it was all worth while, when we lookaround and see what a sorry mess we are in today.
One might very well ask, what is the number one issue in our country at the present time? Is it inflation? Unemploy-ment? I cannot see how any of them can be resolved except by national effort, and we cannot have that unless we first have nation-al unity.
Right from the start of his surprise victory at the polls in 1976, Rene Lavesque has seized and kept the initiative with hisQuebec Separation Policy. His trip to the United States, in regal style, received a somewhat cool reception. Far different was thereception he received when he visited his beloved France, the country that had abandoned the Quebec French years before.France heaped greater honours upon Levesque than upon any head of state, despite their assurances toContinued from page 4
This is a story written by my kids Great Grandpa, Robert Parker Storey. He was Born in 1895 in Halifax, NS. As a young boy growing up in Hali-fax, Bob joined the scout section of the 63rd Halifax Militia Regiment. At 21 years of age he joined the Sixth Canadian Mounted Rifles Regiment.Two months later he signed up for the First World War and was taken a prisoner of war sixteen months into his deployment on J une 2nd 1916.These few snippets below were taken from one of Grandpa's many stories about life in a P.O.W. camp in Germany.
The first letter I received inGermany was from my sister
Alice, she was in Scotland
serving with the Canadian
Corp. It was dated early in
July 1916.
We Shall Remember Them
Dear old Bob I am near-
ly crazy with grief. A
few days ago I learned
you had been in a battle
and now you are missing
and yesterday I got the
terrible news that ourBill had been killed in
action. I cannot believe
Robbie that you too are
dead. Please. Please.
Dear, Dont be Dead.
Write me dear and tell
me you are alive.
Things were not as bad in our camp at Miden as they were in most ofthe other POW camps. For one thing the General in Command of theLagar was a worn out elderly cavalry man who when he came into thecompound always rode on a white horse and often would argue in aloud shrieking voice as though he was going to have us boiled in oil
the first time any of us slipped out of line and often, to emphasize hispoint, would draw his useless old sabre and smack his poor old nag on
the rump. His own Commanders were more afraid of him than wewere. We knew his bark was worse than his bite and we were awarethat his son, an officer in the German cavalry was a prisoner of war
in England.One day when he was particularly violent on his inspection to us hedrew the sabre and gave the horse a real savage smack that startled
the poor old hag of bones. It was so startled it reared up and bolted.The old General was nearly thrown.
One of our lads who was near did what not one of the Generals own
soldiers dare do. He broke ranks, grabbed the horse by the bridle andsoon soothed it. The General was visibly shaken, but he did what few
German officers would do to a POW.He said Danke. We always showed respect for the poor old boy, and
that paid off for us in many ways.

Canadas ambassador that they planned no interference in Canadian affairs. Rene returned to Canada with his medal of honour,more determined than ever to take Quebec out of Confederation.
Rene appears to have a peculiar dislike and contempt for anything pertaining to les Anglais but the English are no longer a majority in the rest of Canada. We are all Canadians, just the same as the people in Quebec.
It appears that a Federal election may be coming up this year, and it will very likely be fought on the issue of national unity
This is the most important issue at stake in Canada today. It cannot be swept under the rug or referred to a Royal Commission. Weare running out of time.Each party, federal and provincial and in fact, every Canadian has got to make a declaration on where they stand. Are they
prepared to let Canada be emasculated by allowing Quebec to go by default? Are they prepared to use force, if necessary, to keepCanada united? What will happen to me vast territory of Ruperts Land which was ceded to Quebec years after they entered confed-eration? It is quite evident that Levesque fully expects and intends to take that territory along if his referendum is favourable. Whatwill happen to Newfoundland and Labrador, if Quebec sets a precedent and is allowed to take Ruperts Land? Newfoundland will beisolated and may have to face up to a separation of its own. A union with the United States may be a tempting proposition to bothparties, and I would imagine that the Labrador would be a juicy plum to fall into the Americans fruit basket. Then if Newfoundlandand Labrador, went, we could expect in short order, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick would have nowhereelse to go and could be the next victims of the ultimate break up of Canada.
These are gloomy suppositions, but they are realistic, and we all have to live up the these possibilities. It all boils down to
the question of whether the unity of Canada is worth fighting for. The answer to that is that the cream of Canadas youth have al-ready fought in two of the bloodiest wars in the worlds history to preserve our country and our way of life. Is it possible that alltheir sacrifice will be nullified by the antics of a few? I would hope not!
The future of our country is at stake and I am sure if our politicians would stop some of their politicking and get together ina spirit of goodwill and concentrate on the salvation of our country, a solution may be worked out without Canadians shedding eachothers blood.
The Achilles heal of Quebec lies in the vast territory of Ruperts Land, where much of the mineral deposits and hydro de-velopment lie. All the territories, that is, the Yukon, Northwest Territory, Ruperts Land and Labrador were all intact and a part ofCanada at the time of Confederation and I would surmise, each of the founding provinces had an equal form of partnership or ownership in all of the territories. Therefore a division of any part of all this land would be of interest to every province, and the approvaland consent of all the founding provinces should have been obtained by the federal government before any part could be ceded to anyone province without proper conditions.
Another thing is that the federal government, and only the federal government, has the sovereign right and obligation todeal with the rights of the native people. That is the Indian, Eskimo and the Inuits. The latter have already demonstratedthat theywant no part of the French Canadian language or domination. These demonstrations must not be ignored.
I think that amending laws should be passed as quickly as possible, leaving provinces that have benefited by the transfer ofany territory or part of any territory in a caretaker capacity, as long as they remain in Confederation, but denying the right of anyprovince the right to take any land out of Confederation that they did not possess prior to the time they entered into Confederation.This does not disturb the Status Quo and I believe would be perfectly legal.
To guard against any further adventure by the Levesque government, I would suggest a detachment or so of RCMP andsome military units be despatched for winter training and on a rotating basis to some of the northern parts. This and a couple oflanding fields for aircraft along with a port of call for small naval crafts along the Labrador coast and maybe one on the eastern shoreof Hudson Bay will assure that Canada will safeguard the native peoples interests.
If the Parti Quebecois takes any exception to these measures and wants to resist, they would have to bear full responsibilityof firing the first shot. The mandate they receive at the polls was to govern the province of Quebec and if they do that, Levesquecould well be the best premier Quebec has ever had. Who knows, he might in time go on to be a prime minister of Canada. If,however, he pursues his avowed intention of leading his province down the garden path of separation, he risks not only the destruc-tion of Quebec, but also the disintegration of Canada as a nation. I am sure no foreign alliances or entanglements would be counte-nanced by the Americans, under the Munro Doctrine.
I do not believe many people in Quebec really want to separate from Canada. In many ways they are more Canadian thanwe, so called Anglaise. They are lovely people, friendly and happy. I know, I lived with them as a child in north-eastern Ontario.We youngsters played together and went to school together. The grown ups worked together and families intermingled as neigh-bours should. I fought along side the French boys in France. They were magnificent.
We are all Canadians living in one of the finest countries in the world. Lets keep it that way!

Sooooo....everyone ready for snow yet?...I sure am! Was very thankful to have received all the rain that we got, the creek had dried up com-pletely, first time since we moved here in 1980.****We went to a house warming for Clayton Steiner awhile back...we warmed it up pretty good I think, even right down to me spilling coffee all
over the floor! Very nice place Clayton...now if we can just find you a wife !!!****I was just looking at some comments stated in 1957: "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to impossible to buy aweeks groceries for $20.00!"Then one guy says to his friend: "If cigarettes deep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous!""Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a DIME just to mail a letter!"....(I love that one!)****I finally got my donkey's! They are two little miniature females, one was weaned the day Igot them and is only a year old, her name is "Shadow" because she won't let the other onetake a step unless she does too! The older one, who is two years old is a dark brown so Icall her "Cocoa". But her name might be changed to "Echo!" They hadn't been handled atall so it was rather interesting getting them to trust me. Now they love to be scratched allover and come when they are called. If I don't get out there as soon as I come out the door
they sometimes begin calling me...quite a unique sound! They are so darn cute, I just lovethem! They even let Penny, the dog eat out of their oat bucket, when Cocoa (Echo?) is ina good mood that is!....Walter even bought them each a brand new halter the other day,one pink, the other purple...plus a water tank heater to keep their water warm! (He whodidn't want to have anything to do with those.......things! LOL!! The grand kids & greatgrandkids are going to love them!****With the municipal elections all over I guess things will start to get back to normal again.Congrats to the winners in F.L. In my home town of McBride they had a cleansweep...kicked out the old mayor and his entire council! A good thing too, as one personput it: "Maybe we can get our town back and start living again." They had nearly eighty percent of the eligible voters turn out, a record I amsure.****We are still getting calls from people wanting to buy hay, not much around for sale I don't think, people will perhaps have to go to the PeaceRiver area or Alberta. There is always alfalfa pellets to add to the hay though, we have done that before. Can't let the poor animals go hungrythat is for sure!****There was a house warming party for Paul & Kerstan earlier in the month, they have a lovely new home
beside highway 16 at Ross Creek. Hope your home brings you nothing but happiness.****Art & Jo-Ann of Savory Farm took four "little pigs" to be made into sausage...I say little because they hadto get Larry & Rita to haul them in their big stock trailer! They weighed about eight hundred poundseach!!...Now THAT is going to be a LOT of sausage let me tell you!...Probably enough to go round theworld once, twice or maybe even three times! Our Ol' Molly pig was estimated to be over nine hun-dred pounds in her prime, she died of old age at the age of eight and a half....One of the best pets weever had!****
With all the requests we get in the mail for this, that & the other wanting money, I sure as thunder hopethey never find life on another planet because sure as hell our government will start sending them mon-ey and expecting the rest of us to do the same!...****Did you know that the Endako Hall is available for rent for various functions? Give Sylvia a call at: 250-699-8678.Comes with well equipped kitchen and lots of parking space!

IS YOUR PRIVACY IMPORTANT TO YOU?CERN The Swiss Research Organization that Gave Us The
World Wide Web Now Offers Encrypted Email Service.Many of us are old enough to remember the days when governments viewed
mail as untouchable personal property. No one could open another persons mailwithout a court order, not even government agencies.
Nowadays? Not so much. Some governments seem to have given themselvescarte blanche to invade any persons private documents, any time it suits them,just because electronic communication makes it so easy.
The Edward Snowden incident last year publicized the fact that some govern-ment agencies were abusing their authority and ignoring all privacy considera-tions. Scientists at CERN watched the drama unfolding and decided that the timeto protect property and privacy rights is while people still have them.
After studying the situation and determining a course of action they set a goalof $100,000 and appealed for public support to fund their project. Within six
weeks they had received over $550,000. Some people sent cash by snail mail toprotect their privacy. This indicates the international level of public concern forinvasive government policies.
Is encoded messaging necessary? Ask the people who live under the thumb ofa totalitarian government (China, Iraq and some in Africa). If they are caughtspeaking out against their government they might go to jail; or just disappear! AskEdward Snowden, he cant go home safely. The U.S. government refuses to guar-antee him a fair, open, and unbiased trial, something every U.S. citizen shouldexpect under their constitution. And all this because he had the courage to revealthat the government was spying on its own citizens.
The new mail service is called Protonmail, how appropriate for something
developed at a nuclear research facility. They claim that their new mail servicewill be anonymous, secure, and free. Paid versions containing a couple extra se-curity measures will also be available to help offset the cost of operating the freeservice.
How secure? Encryption is done in your computer before the message goesinto storage in their server. Decryption is done in the computer of the personreceiving the message. Two passwords are required by each user, one to log intoyour mailbox, a second one for the encryption or decryption keys. The peopleoperating the system have no record of passwords or the IP address of any user.This adds an extra assurance of privacy but also means they cant help you if youforget your password. A self destruct feature can be activated for any message,just like Mission Impossible. This self destruct feature travels with the message
and will even occur if the message is in the other persons computer.
Protonmail is spending large amounts of money buying their own servers so onlytheir own people will have legal access to their equipment. This guarantees bettersecurity but causes waiting lists because applications are coming in faster than theycan expand their system.There are too many security features to list here, check it out for yourself atwww.protonmail.ch Yes, that is ch not ca.
