A black day for
all of us

December 6, 1989, was a black day for all Canadians
when a deliberately segregated.men and women
in an engineering classroom at L’Ecole Polytechnique in
Montreal and then opened fire on the women, killing 14.

The pall that clung to horrified Canadians is still evi-
dent, and yet violence against women persists, despite
vocal protests against further violence towards women.

Last year there were 700 women murdered, and 62 per
cent of those were i by their p
That means 433 of those women were murdered by the
person they, at one time in their lives, probably trusted
the most.

Is it accurate to say these women were loved to death?

Where does the violence stop? Most important of all,
how do we stop the violence?

We have lit candles, planted trees, sang psalms and
said our own private prayers in honor of these women,
but what we really need to plant is the seed of respect for
all humanity.

We need to plant in peoples’ minds the concept that
violence against women will not be accepted. Most of all,
we need to plant in the minds of young people that all
violence, against both genders, is immoral and inhuman.

Women’s Equality Minister, Penny Priddy, announced
details of its $10 million Stopping the Violence Initiative.
which fands seryices for women who are victims of vio-
lence, and violence prevention programs across the
province.

The funding has been a long time coming. Just ask the
people who work at Community Services in Castlegar.
They see the impacts which violence has on families in
this area on a daily basis.

It's tragic that for many people who are victims of vio-
lence, the funding is too late. It's too late for the thou-
sands of women who have died in an undeclared war
against them, and it’s too late for all those people who
have been directly affected by the violence in their
homes. But it's not too late for our daughters, and our
sons. The fact that violence in the home is no longer a
Private matter but a public intolerance is helping.

Still the incidences that still occur across Canada on a
daily basis can not be ignored. It is time for all of us,
regardless of gender, to examine the effects violence has
on all of us, and resolve that violence against women
does not have a place in our homes, our communities, or
our society.

Two sheep at High Taroo!

Winter has truly arrived. As I
climb into layers of warm clothing
each moming, my thoughts tum to
milder climates and warmer times
and places.When we moved to Aus-
tralia more than a decade ago, we
were no less naive than most North
Americans about life “down under”.
Along the way, I had come to
believe that Australia was covered in
palm trees and frangipani, all beach
sand was white, all lagoons were
blue, and no cold winds ever blew.

The reality, especially in the
southern part of Australia, was quite,
quite different. We woke up one
early July morning to see snow lying
on the Dandenong hills! One day in
late January, we spent the entire
afternoon sitting, immersed up to
our noses, in the cool waters of a
water reservoir as a 44 ° hot desert
wind blew incessantly across the
valley, and the population of the
whole State longed for a “cool
change”. When it arrived, it brought
a deluge of rain that, before our very
eyes, turned the dry creek beds into
raging torrents! Australia’s climate
can be as diverse as ours!

With winter all about us, I went
digging through our woollen wear
and came upon two sweaters, both
of sheep's wool. I sat back on my

Ss

heels and let my thoughts drift back
to “High Taroo” and our two years
there! We had fled up into the hills,
to acreage, partially to get away
from the noise of the suburbs in
which we had been living, and par-
tially to breathe better air.

Dear Editor:
I would like to take this Oppor-
tunity to commend Harry Kil-

lough for his qnalysis of the
agonizing events in the former
lavia.

The former federation, which
existed for over 70 years, was
created after World War II by the
British and French as a means of
tidying up the remnants of the
Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman
Empires.

Since its inception, the state
was dominated by the Serbs,

choose between Austria and Ser-
bia for masters, the people of
Carinthia had a third option —
that of belonging to an indepen-
dent Slovenia — the outcome of
the 1920 plebiscite would have
been far different.

final breakup of the federation
would not be peaceful. Prior to
actual secession, Slovenia and
Croatia tried for many months to
negotiate the terms of a looser
alliance with the federal govern-
ment, with no progress whatsoev-

union, especially as a significant

Serbs as their masters. Much

GORDON WILSON

It has been over one month since the Harcourt
government introduced Bill 84 — its controversial
new Labour Relations Code. As more and more
People receive and read the legislation, increas
ing concerns are being raised about its content
andthe potential impact on business and labor
relations in this province.

We in the Liberal Caucus have taken a lead
role in the opposition of this Bill. We have met
extensively with interested groups and are
attempting to alert the NDP government to poten-
tial problems. For example, we are concerned the
legislation will discourage the investment and
business climate within British Columbia. In re-
sponse to this, the Liberal Opposition will be
Proposing over 50 to the Labour
Relations Code to ensure the legislation becomes
fair, balanced and democratic.

Labour Code will allow unions to dictate that the

actions by the Federal Army in
Slovenia in June 1991, to the
much more devastating onslaught
on Croatia later that year, to the
current butchery in Bosnia, the
pattern was predictable.

In retaining control of the Fed-

wage a war of devastation against
former republics who were able
to recover very little of the arma-

Obituary

Peter Makortoff

Peter Makortoff passed away
on December 3, 1992. Peter was
bom December 26, 1935 to Peter
and Mary Makortoff. He was the
eldest of three children. He grew
up in the North Fork Valley, North
of Grand Forks, attending the Ket-
tle River North School.

He first went to work full time at
the age of 16, working in a small
horse ing operation. He worked
for various small logging compa-
nies for a couple of years before
hiring on with a much bigger log-
ging company in Greenwood.

In 1956 the family moved from
the North Fork to this area, just
across from the nursery. It was here
that he met Ann Markin whom he
married two years later on April 5,
1958. They have two sons, James

It was while he was working
for his logging company that he

he completed his education
through correspondence and

ble in the field of water and waste.

It was here that he became
involved with the Labor Move-
ment. I suppose it was a natural
step for Peter because he believed
in fairness and the need to
improve the human condition here
on Earth. Even as a youngster he
despised discrimination. He
believed inthe common good, but,
he also believed in individual
rights. Individual rights that do not

impinge on anyone else’s rights.
To achieve this end to any
degree, the only vehicle open to
him was the Labor nt. He
became deeply involved in it. This
path is also full of frustration, for,
not only does one have to oppose
the employer to gain better working
conditions and wages and some-
times human dignity itself, but one
also has to put up with human petti-
ness as well. Those who are never

Yes; Peter was also a family
man. He loved his family. In spite
of all of his responsibilities he had
time to go camping and fishing
with his wife and sons. Camping
they all loved.

Peter was predeceased by his
father Peter W. Makortoff, two
nephews, and his father-in-law
Mike Markin.

He is survived by his wife Ann,
his two sons James and Fredrick,

their wives Ellen and Janet and his
