ISLAND FIRE
DARK SIDE
OF THE DREAM

“The world is too much with us,” wrote poet William
Wordsworth, “Late and soon, getting and spending, we
lay waste our powers.”

“Care”, says the writer of Ecclesiasticus, “driveth
away sleep.”

Since the world has been getting just a bit heavy on
my shoulders and since sleep is becoming more and more
of a luxury, we are going to back off a little on this and on

p, consolidate and let the soul catch up with a
rapidly tiring body. I feel guilty as hell about this but the
corner is getting too tight for comfort, and there it is.

In order to keep this space open, however, I will do
some looking back, reruns of columns and observations of
30 years ago. It is surprising how much and how little has
changed over that time. I will also interlard thesé with
work by special correspondents and items of interest as
they appear. But before I do there are a few loose ends to

gather together.

First, of course, is the island park. I firmly believe
that every community must have at least one focal point,

ing by which it is in the minds of citizens
and outsiders. Thus, to think of Edinburgh is to think of
“the castle,” not the vast conglomerate of a major city.

but a particular thing. To think of Ottawa is to think of
the parliament buildings, or when one thinks of the city of
York it is not the vast panorama of 2,000 years of history
but of York Minster which comes to mind. All the rest
comes trooping in behind. They are places to which one

Castlegar has the island — “our islind” — unique and
yet linked in a web of ways to whole generations of local
citizens. It too is a place to which we take friends and
visitors to be shown off with pride. Peredesteely, ty
four years ago it was known to the merest handful of

people and even to fewer outside. Today, it is known to
the great majority of the community, and of hundreds
around the continent and across the oceans. It is an
essential part of our past, our present and our future.

Then there is a matter of Tuesday's fire. For those of
us closely associated with it, it has been the dark side of
the dream — a threatening almost unthinkable shadow.
When we arrived at the chapel house Tuesday afternoon
and saw the flames leaping out between the logs of the
front wall, crackling and climbing up through the porch
roof, the nightmare became a reality. When the inside of
the house proved to be so filled with dense smoke that the
main switch was ible to locate , a sticky

or of minds, only hands. I guess it's always later than we
think.

‘Then there is my other favorite topic, the Abbey in
Mission — the candle in a darkening world. Some of my
readers will remember Brother Francis Dodson, former
bon vivant, bandleader and disc jockey turned Bene-

McDonald clown to the sick children in hospital. He died
last November after a valiant struggle with Hodgkins
disease and his passing was felt deeply by the monastic
community, by his students, by the scores of sick visitors
who came for counselling and who went away
strengthened by his strength, courage and faith; I
suspect that many child visitors still saw him as a black
gowned clown who did funny tricks and miss him most.

He was a remarkable man and I was pleased to read
in a recent Oblate newsletter that the British Columbia
Country Music Assocation had enrolled him, post-
humously, in its Hall of Fame.

In the meantime life in the monastery not only goes
on, but the monks are well into the construction of a new
dormitory for the novices, a major project for which
susbscriptions are still coming in steadily.

A full page article in the Sunday Province quotes
Father Augustine, the rector for the seminary, as
that the number of novice candidates has gone

end of asphyxiation or electrocution was a distinct
possibility and the reality darkened.

Witt ‘n this brief interval, Fire Chief Bob Mann, who
had arriv. 1 on the scene hot on our heels, had the first
firemen operating the hoses — and not a second too soon.
The flames were already licking the eves of the house
so that the early arrival of that small fire truck made the

up 1,000 per cent in the past year.

Father Augustine told the reporter that he wasn't
particularly surprised at the dramatic increase in
prospective monks and that so many young men, recently
having sown their wild oats, were turning again to the
1,500-year-old Catholic order. Then he added (doubtless
wee a humorous twinkle in his eye), “Why, even St.

ine shacked up with a lady at 17 and had a son

between a di d, but wall, and
a shell. At it was the nightmare dissolved in the first
shower of spray and the quick arrival of more men,
machines and hoses soon put an end to the game of hide-
and-seek that the flames were playing with the firemen.
On behalf of us all — the heritage advisory
committee, citizens and all our visitors — I would like to
thank both Mr. A. Johansen and any others for promptly
turning in the alarm, and Chief Mann and the firemen for
their swift and efficient action. Their fast response has
preserved an invaluable and irreplaceable part of our
heritage. The work of restoration has been delayed, but
only delayed. This is a project whose time has come and
so it will. I think the best example of this is the reaction of
restoration superintendent Alex Lutz. Tuesday afternoon
he was the picture of sorrew and despair. But Wednesday
he was roaring with impatience because the fire marshall,
police and insurance investigations were preventing him
fronr getting back to work in the house.

balers be tanned to God. He used to pray — ‘Lord, give
me chastity — but not too soon.’ "

I look forward therefore to my semi-annual teaching
stint at the Abbey in October-November and to seeing
the monks again. I look forward particularly to seeing St.
Frances of Rome, patron saint of children, again. She and
her young ones were just about to be poured in plaster of

her in her clay (first) stage that the sculptor, Father
Dunstan, threatened to tell Bunny, but admitted at the
same time that “the church needed a woman among all
those men.”

Now I have a sign. Just as I was finishing this column
I got a phone call after eight months of innumerable mis-
directions, delays and extended waits. It was from VIA
Rail. The trip-I won for the Zuckerberg story starts late
next week and stops a number of other plans dead in their
tfacks. It looks as if not all of the next few columns are
going to be from “over my shoulder”.
