So. went the winter months “No man is an island entire of itself, every man is a part of the continent, a part of the main... Therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." While recovering nicely fram an early January heart “bump” I have had to consider this famous 00-year-old statement of Elizabethan poet-divine, John Donneé.. Subeonseiously, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later — trying to cover too many bases, i . over its Theearly was physiotherapists and support staff, with special thanks to Drs. Hall, Streich and Manders, for, all their concern and encouragement. A contributory factor to the “bump” was the pressure of the early publication of “The Dragon Tree” and worrying tial for personal reasons, but the reception was most gratifying, more ‘severe and frequent chest pains, with the doctor's warning that they. would get worse as 80, since, while many of the pieces were about fanaliar places and known to many people, thereby assuring others are both personal and dropped — all it needed was a trigger. What has surprised me is the legion of friends, acquain- tenances and kindly people who have come forward with gifts, ‘cards, calls and others of help. It has been both a touching and humbling experience, as well as proof positive that Donne is still right — even in our so-called cold, indifferent and fragmented society, The English poet Coleridge said that “friendship is a, sheltering tree” and, such being the case, I must be the. “happy possessor of a rich wood, a great forest, and for this — my deepest gratitude. The “bump,” of course precipitated me into the hospital — not one of my favorite stopping places. However, if one must be ill, I can think of no better place or people than our own Castlegar hospital staff. Once I had ‘crossed the: threshold, feeling none too happy (particularly since a little earlier I had declined several kind offers of assistance to get. there) I was checked, admitted and firmly ‘located in the intensive care ward with a dispatch which would have done | A ‘credit to a TV medic program. In real life such speed is the exception, rather than the’ rule, therefore it was more surprising that the nursing care - which ‘followed was equally fine. To be brisk, ‘efficient, . cheerful and patient on a half-hour program, particularly on TV-pay, is one thing; to be all of these things on a 12-hour shift, day after day, on a clerk's wages, plus bedpans, takesa considerable dedication. As one who would not particularly want as restless a . character as I for a patient, I would like to offer my.sincere thanks to the nurses, aides, students, ' lab technicians, different. A letter from Gil and Pearl Zuckerberg asking that another autographed “Dragon Tree" be sent to them, says: “ « -it brought smiles, a tear and many fond memories." From people so closely associated with the island, it was good to hear, Another letter came when I was still in hospital. It was ‘| from two former pupils who are spending the holiday season Sin London, and says: “I must admit a particular fondness for ‘ Multum in Parvo” and for “The Old Ones Wait on Kootenay Lake.” The latter, in p: d the of grandeur and of the sense of lurking power that the scene can hold, and it is interesting to see it finally put in words.” Twas happy to agree. There is nothing so pleasant as to have one's own biases confirmed. Incidently, anyone wishing to have a personalized copy of “The Dragon Tree” is invited to call or write to me. I'm in the phone book. On the other hand, my discontent at ‘being confined to a +" hospital room was considerably blunted when I looked out of the window where the snow was' piling up everywhere and ; then read that 8,000 miles away “We are having a wonderful time (in ‘London),. seeing loads of plays, operas and films, since the winter weather — some ofthe worst on record since 1880 — has ‘icted’ our’ “Spent a hair-raising , weekend at our cousin's half- timbered cottage near Salisbury, cleaning-up after burst (frozen) water pipes and shoveling away snow drifts. It was so cold in that place that the olive oil in the kitchen froze solid and even the toilet froze over. We passed a filthy _ empty street to the right — neither of us sees JOHN CHARTERS’ CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 24, 1982 ‘Reflections & Recollections weekend with no water supply and drinking mulled wine to keep warm. The English just do not, on the whole seem to have any sort of preparations against these snowy conditions.” The law of compensation continues to work. And finally, on the Saturday before the “bump,” I was involved ina collision, which was also a part of John Donne's “main.” The scenario is as follows: We are on our way home, in the dusk of late afternoon and stop at the two-way stop, look down the long, apparently 18 look The next morning I had the heart “bump” and the cycle awas complete with a warning: “Therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” While I was in the hospital I noted that Eastern Star ladies are collecting stamps. I feel certaln that they would be happy to collect yours. Talso wonder if anyone has a use for old Christmas cards? Be seems a shame to waste them if they can be put to further Thanks for more information on local historical data and to the left — the blind hill always presents a threat — again all clear. A woman and a young girl are on the opposite side on the sidewalk at the corner across the street. I start across, and Bunny starts to yell something incomprehensible and I to shouting “Where? “Where?” and looking desperately, for some reason, for a child or dog under my left-front bumper. Then, thump, we are hit. But why the dumb reaction? The answer came two days later — on Monday afternoon: Sixty years ago, I, a small boy and my younger brother, were driving home along the Barnet highway with my father, in his heavy old McLaughlin-Buick. My: father, announcing that he was going to stop for cigarettes, slowed toa crawl, checked over his right shoulder (: ter lines in for to go to Stan Shertibitoff of Thrums, local collector of historical artifacts; to Dick Fowler of Robson, pioneer and authority on early boats and ships in the West Kootenays and to Captain and Mrs. G.O. Sutherland of Robson. Captain Sutherland is a veteran skipper on the Arrow Lakes shipping scene and both are pioneer residents intimately associated with the history of. this area and particularly with the story of Halcyon. Sportsmen hit: nena (CP) — The mountain goat, $50 for moun- those days) and started to pull over to the left curb. At the same instant a woman up the street, on the right by the streetcar tracks, beckoned to a young girl standing on the, left curb. Without looking, she stepped off the curb and disappeared without cry or thump under the left-front. bumper of the heavy car. My father turned back completély unaware of the shouts of bystanders, unaware that anything had happened, while I, numb with horror and disbelief, could say nothing, She died in the back seat on the way to the hospital. My father, after that time, drove only when aboslutely necessary, and I became heir to a lifelong nightmare which turned about a woman on a sidewalk, a child stepping off the curb, and incomprehensible cries.
