Past few months busy
with people and places |

“Turn backward, turn backward, O time in your
flight...” —Elizabeth Akers Allen

It won't though, so it is time to look briefly at
what has passed recently and what is coming soon.

It has been a busy two and a half months,
significant with people and events, for what has
already been and what is yet to be.

Most of May was spent at the monastery and since
the flowering shrubs were in glorious bloom, thanks to
all the rain, they invited one to pause a little longer.
Moreover since | had taken more time for myself, I
gained a deeper appreciation of the monastic com-
munity and my own relationship to it.

1 was fortunate, also, in meeting several in-
teresting friends of the monastery among them Dr.
Gerald Morgan, retired English professor and

vice directed towards U I claimants.

“As part of this new session, we
will also provide people with more
details concerning their claims in or-
der to prevent any delays in paymen-
ts,"’ Switzer added.

It is expected that the combination
of both employment and U I infor-
mation will provide a clearer under-
standing of claimant obligations un-
der the UI Act and, as well, will
enable them to focus clearly on em-
ployment opportunities, the release
said.

Switzer noted that as result of the
session, more people will use the
resources available to them at the
CEC which include individual coun-
selling, resume preparation, job fi
ding tips and labor market infor-
mation, as well as job listings on
display in the Job Information Centre
in Trail and the Castlegar Community
Services Office,

“While we are schediting some
specific U I recipients, the session is
open to anyone who is currently
collecting U I benefits,” he said.

Persons interested in attending this
session or a job-finding session may
take advantage of these services by
phoning the Trail Canada Em-
ployment Centre to register for the
next session.

Vaccine
shortage
pointed out

VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver
and other Canadian cities are due for
a major red measles outbreak at a
time when there is a national shortage
of the measles vaccine, Vancouver's
medical health officer says.

Dr. John Blatherwick said
the blame for the shortage
falls on the federal government,
which last year allowed the only
Canadian vaccine laboratory to be
taken over by a French company.

at Royal Roads Military College in Vic-
toria and authority on a fellow country man, novelist
Joseph Conrad, and his friend Dr. Camide
Li professor of ive li at the
University of Ottawa. :

They had come togive guest lectures to the senior

and I had the ity to hear and
later to meet and exchange books with them. I was
much flattered by their comments given later on my
own literary efforts. Such people are a balm to the ego
and a pencil-sharpener to the mind.

The heritage conference in Surrey as indicated
earlier was another expanding experience, both in the
public discussions and in private conversations with
several new and old friends, including Don Tarasoff of
the Ministry of Tourism, and a knowledgeable visitor
to the Kootenay area; a man of many parts.

On returning home I met a third friend of the Ab-
bey, Father John Hoes, a retired Dutch priest, sub-
stituting for Father Herman Engberink at St. Rita’s in
Castlegar. He had been referred by my friend Father
Boniface, librarian at the monastery, and he agreed to
stay for lunch. A delightful man, bubbling with en-
thusiasm for everything about him and overjoyed as an
expert in church music, to listen to some of my English
cathedral organ and choir ‘fecordings. Such people
make one appreciate what one has and are a joy to the
soul.

Next day came the Sunfest parade and the tour of
Zuckerberg ISland with Lt.-Gov. David Lam and his
wife, Dorothy, and another special facet for this
spring. Sometimes we are more fortunate than we
deserve in our political appointees.

The Beaver Valley Rotary Club and District
Governor Dick Nelson hosted the Rotary District 508
Rotary conference at the same time so life was a bit
hectic about then. However, the conference was ex-
cellent and the presence of a special guest, Queen
Elizabeth (or a remarkable look-alike) at the gover-
nor’s ball, stole the show. She was piped in by a kilted
piper, spoke briefly but wittily and was photographed
having tea with almost 200 couples. I understand that a
lot of Americna Rotarians are passing those
photographs around among their friends and saying
smugly: ‘*See what you missed. We had tea with the
Queen.””

Off again the next week to Vancouver to pick up
Bunny from the B.C. Lung Association conference
and then on to the Rotary International conference in
Portalnd to join forces with Don and Dar McDowell
and Ron and Elaine Ross.

Portland is a beautiful and esthetically conscious
city which took to the hosting of 22,300 Rotary
delegates from 170 countries with great skill and warm
hospitality, and none more so than our “home
hospitality’ hosts, Roger and Carol Meyer and their

son. Dinner on Monday evening was a masterpiece of
prescience.

Then came a letter from Manchester, England,
from another delegate whom we met on the Rotary
shuttle bus. He was a former sergeant in the Royal
Scots Fusiliers and is writing the history of his
regiment. We proceeded at once to refight the war and
agreed to exchange books. And so it went.

‘On the business side of the conference, a wide
spectrum of concerns was dealt with — the winding up
of the Polio Plus Project to eliminate polio in the
children of the world by the year 2000, a new program
to reduce illiteracy locally and in the world, another to
extend student scholarships — the list goes‘on and on.
The commitment of one million men and women is
both exalting and humbling.

The most touching moment came at a Rotary
breakfast. It was an expensive meal at $35 per couple

and not a remarkable taste experience but well over a

d had p f Then the
chairman welcomed four delegates and their wives
from four former Iron Curtain countries — Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Russia — to the Rotary
family of nations. Three of these countries had had
clubs before the Second World War. Russian never
had. Each delegate as he was introduced, and the flag
of his country.was brought forward, addressed the
assembly in English — sometimes a little haltingly but
always wittily and with great emotion.

Their joy at the newly achieved freedom and their
pleas for patience and time for learning after so many
years of totalitarian government was deeply touching.
It was an occasion of cheers and tears and I would not
have missed it for anything.

We flew then to Victoria after the conference to
meet the editor of the Beautiful British Columbia
magazine and to talk about the plans for a large article
on Castlegar — warts and all — for the spring of 1992.

From there by ferry to Vancouver where in the
morning we took in the Richmond parade (not that
much better than our own despite the disparity in size),
went to the Univeristy of B.C. in the afternoon for the
presentation of the facsimile copy of the Book of
Kells. Bunny and I had gone to Dublin six years ago to
see the original of that 1,200-year-old masterpiece of
medieval artistic craftsmanship and I had written a
column about it.

In the meanwhile plans for Odessey "90 to Britain
(Scottish Highlands, Orkneys, the Benedictine
monastery, Plusagarten Abbey, Holy Island and Lin-
desfarne Priory, a tour of south England and
on to the Channel Islands, are gradually dropping into
place for the Aug. 20 departure.

As Tennyson said: ‘‘I am a part of all that I have
met;/Yet all experience is and arch wherethro’/Gleams

ever when I move . . . Life piled on life/Were all too
little, and of one to me/Little remains.

PULPIT & PEW

By Rev. TED BRISTOW

So far, my summer has been mostly
busy. Usually, I enjoy some slowing
down to catch up on unfinished June
work and plan ahead for September,
and also take extra time off to smell
the flowers or watch the water or
whatever summer leisures come
along.

This year, the slowdown hasn't
happened. I'm still trying to catch up
from June, and September will have
to fend for-itself.

My most pleasant day, so far, was
July 2. Along with some friends, 1
hiked up to the ridge overlooking Old
Glory.

I'd never been up there, even
though I’ve lived here since '72.
Think maybe there’s a lesson here
about not experriencing the beauty in
your own back yard?

It was a great day for hiking:
enough clouds to keep things cool,
and no rain until we were back down
on the highway.

I'm supposed to take it a bit easy
physically, but I did fine on the long
uphill stretch, because we took our
time. We also had some children
along to remind us what living is all
about. It’s not about rushing and get-
ting all hot and bothered, but about
plodding along at a reasonable rate,
and taking a break now and then to
throw snowballs. From my opening
comments about being busy, you may
realize that even at my mature age I
haven’t quite yet, completely learned
to treat life like a pleasurable hike.

There’s still hope for me, though.
Especially if friends keep inviting me
to get away and do some re-creation.
By myself, I'd never go on a hike like
that, even on a busy trail and in the
best of health. I'd find some excuse
not to go.

Friends to hike along with makes it
altogether different. It’s not just
someone to talk to. Sometimes we
were all too busy puffing to talk. It’s
just that you're not alone, and you
know it.

One thing I have managed to learn
over the years is that I’m not alone,
even when I’m tempted to think I am.
There are a few friends, and there is
the community of faith I am part of,
and there are people in other parts of
the world I've never met but feel close
to, and there’s the unseen Presence
Who always trudges along beside us
all. I’m lucky enough to know that,
though I'd be smart to take more time
to celebrate it.

Our celebration, ‘that pleasant July
2, was stopping at the top to eat lun-
ch, and to look.

I’ve seldom been in high country,
but I remember the few times I have.
It’s always been a vivid spiritual ex-
perience for me. That day, a few

Parks board
favors
whale plan

VANCOUVER (CP) — A majority
of parks board commissioners now
say they favor the Vancouver Public
Aquarium’s plan to capture three
more beluga whales for its Arctic
Canada exhibit.

**We’re satisfied that it is necessary
from a scientific point of view,””
chairman Art Cowie said after
meeting with aquarium staff.

On Monday, the board passed a
motion opposing the capture of three
more whales in a Hudson Bay river
estuary near Churchill, Man.

But Cowie said aquarium officials
convinced him the extra whales were
needed for a breeding program with
the two females already there.

“The idea is to establish the
aquarium here as one that has
(beluga) reproductive capabilities so
that in future they don’t have to do
live captures,’ Cowie said.

but even more than the alpine beauty

1 expect I'll get another such
