November 27, 1983 Castlegar News B3 > Prints Fulfilling’ his — obligations As many readers and all of his patients will remember Dr. John Hall — well known and popular Castlegar physician — left his practice and friends here in October, 1982 for a two-year tour of duty in Papua New Guinea. : ‘ It was a long-held philosophy of his, Dr. Hall said, that anyone having the skills and the opportunity, and who sees an urgent need, has at some time in his or her. life the obligation to donate those skills to humanity. In 1982, Dr. Hall felt the time and the opportunity - arrived, so that on Sept. 31, he and his wife Ruth, after.a whirlwind round of packing, injections and domestic reorganization, left Castlegar for Ottawa. Here, after a weeks intensive orientation program, they left for Papua New Guinea to serve as medical director working out of i the Roman Catholic hospital of St. Mary's at Kokopo. Under the sponsorship of CUSO (Canadian- University Service Overseas) whereby they get their transportation, food, shelter and a small subsistance allowance and plenty of work, they just completed their first year of service. ‘ About eight months ago, I received a personal note and a very interesting circular letter in which Dr.- Hall described his early experiences in his new practice. Then DR. JOHN HALL ‘Listened with shocked disbelief to news of the Grenada invasion’ there was a long silence. I realized he and Ruth were undoubtedly very busy, but felt that having once whetted the appetites of his friends and patients with some vivid descriptions of life in that far-off land, that he could nat be let off so lightly. I had no qualms, therefore, in needling him for further and — an app: that some would call “enlightened self-interest.” About four months ago there was a news broadcast about heavy voleanic activity in the area, but still there was no news from John. I applied the needle again together with the “carrot” of a bundle of Castlegar News. Last week I received a large’ envelope with a letter, two stories, a couple of hi hs and most of all — pern ‘Therefore, .we.are printing. the-letter (with some minor editing of personal references) this week with the promise that the stories will follow in due time. They make: most interesting reading. ‘They will, however, have to wait their turn and place as we are committed to the story of Jimmy Davidson, Castlegar's first and long time ferryman, John Munday’s further adventures, a Kinsman story, the latest on West- minster Abbey, the Benedictine Monastety at Mission, the story of the bell tower, the Dumont family and the Dumont subdivision and whatever else is of more immediate attention. Oct. 31, 1983 Dear Jack, Bunny and Bruce: It is one year today that Ruth and I arrived in Papua John Charters . ° .. Reflections . & recollections New Guinea. It was raining the morning we left Castlegar on Oct. 29. We wondered if the plane would get out of the valley. I remember that day very well. Today I sit at my desk and marvel at how rapidly time has passed. Thanks to you and other kind friends at home we have been able to keep informed about what has been happening in “our town.”, We read:every- word in the Castlegar News as.the papers intermittantly. arrive, and we note that the city continues to grow and flourish. We hear and read about the folks at home and it gives us a focal point in this world. Our new-found friends from all over the world — Switzerland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, China, Malaysia, and of course Melanesia — have also learned a bit about Canada and “our home: town.” Particularly, the natives of this island in the South Pacific that I have come to know so intimately have learned about Canada and British Columbia. They know now about snow, our changing seasons, how we fish and hunt, how we live and a little about our aspirations. Yesterday we listened to a broken, short-wave radio broadcast from America of the bombing, deaths of the VILLAGE CHIEF . - -Mulati, the village chief (top photo), and . some of his people, (bottom photo), who live in the area where Dr. John Hall works. American Marines and French paratroopers in Lebanon. We also listened with shocked disbelief to the news of the invasion of Grenada! Standing in a corner, across the room from where I sit, is a Japanese Second World War anti-aircraft shell casing. Standing inside the casing are 30 arrows that the islanders use for hunting and warfare. Beside the shell casing is a Japanese marine helmet with a shrapnel hole in it. Pondering these articles I have to ask myself who are the real savages here on earth! Your last letter (forgive me for not answering sooner) asked for another article and possibly some photos. You have no idea of the logistics involved in obtaining the end result of a photo here! However, enclosed is an article which you may fe2l is worth publishing. A photo of Mulati, the village chief and some of his people is also enclosed. The artcile is an attempt to paint a word picture of the world in which we now live. Please wish all our friends and patients a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year — and may yours be especially happy and fruitful — we miss you all. . Also enclosed is an article which I wrote about an experience with our little boat. My journal is filled with this sort of thing. Publish it later if you wish. Today we were informed by the vulcanologists in Rabaul that the four active volcanoes surrounding the town have become very active over the past month. We have been placed on Stage 2 alert, which means that we are now actively preparing for evacuation of 50,000 People from the danger area. Phase 3, eruption expected within a few weeks, which is expected to be declared within a few days, will bring most of the routine activities of my hospital to a stop as we gear up for expected casualties of the eruption. At that time non-essential health workers and families of expatriates will be evacuated to safer grounds. As medical director of this hospital, I assume I will be rather busy for some time should the eruption occur. Hopefully, this letter and the enclosed articles will get through to you before we are shut down. If all goes well, would you like an article on the volcanoes of this part of the “Rim of Fire?” We were informed that the ground at the base of the voleanoe, Matupi, has already risen one metre and is beginning to show cracks and separations. Apparently, one can hear the ground moving if one stands at the base of the mountain. The temperature of the sea has risen several degrees in the near vicinity. We are experiencing many minor earthquakes at the present time — two or three each day. ‘As ever, take care, John P.S.

Katimavik crew in Castlegar By JOHN CHARTERS ‘ The Katimavik crew has arrived and maintenance work on Zuckerberg Island Park and other community ° projects began last Monday. The Rotary Club sponsored summer works project j paths and gi areas of the island so that it was possible to dedicate it as community park at the beginning of September. But use of the park has been so heavy since (40 to 50 visitors a day) that buried roots and rocks have been exposed in the paths. Therefore, the two-man team of David Wheiler of Kitchener, Ont. and Chris Hamilton of Richmond, Ont. under the direction of foreman/sponsor | Alex Lutz of the Castlegar Heritage Advisory Com- mittee, have given path grooming top priority. When this is done, they will start on repairing the causeway and clearing trash beside the paths. When the weather is inclement, they will be working on clearing up the buildings and constructing a scale model of the island for tour and publicity purposes. In the meantime, other projects and Katimavic teams include Kristina Husdon of New Westminster and Adrienne Thivierge of Edmonton working at the Clay Castle; Howard Hamilton of LeRoy, Sask. and Curtis Komp of Toronto learning TV techniques at Cable 10; Chrstine Joncas of Bais Comeau, Quebec and Michelle McKay of Sackville, Nova Scotia g exhibits and at the Centre; and Dani- elle Paulin of Hull, Quebec and Harold McBearthy of Gaspe, Quebec who are doing maintenance work at the Kootenay Doukhobor Historical museum. All live cooperatively but under very rigid rules at 410-11th Ave. with their supervisor Shawn Bayes. On Monday, Shawn spoke to the Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee and on Tuesday was guest speaker at a dinner meeting of the Castlegar Rotary club. In each case she lained that K: il ii fed iI Ps d aimed at national cultural exchange. Since these young people are a long way from home, she asked that families in the community take a team member into their home over the Christmas holidays, not as a guest but as a working member of the family.

(CP).— Jean-Claude Landry went hunting recently and after 39 minutes in the woods was ready to go home — taking a large buck deer with him. A successful trip, but not unusual until you consider that he is a quadriplegic, confined to a wheelchair. Landry's hunting success was the result of lengthy Pp and’ some ity by Bob Bo an ata M home for the h d where Landry lives: Landry had not hunted since a motorcycle accident in August, 1982, left his legs and right arm paralysed and only limited use in his left arm. An avid woodsman, the 24-year-old never expected he would hunt again. At least not until a few months ago. Bourgeois remembers the day. “He told me he enjoyed to hunt. So, I told him that. was great and that I would take him hunting with me when I went hunting this fall.” Landry thought his friend was joking. “We didn't really talk about it for the next few weeks, but then we got down to deciding exactly how we would pull it off,” Landry said. They experimented with various devices before Bourgeois came up with a solution. He forged a half-moon-shaped wooden table which encircled Landry just above the waist. The table was strapped to the wheelchair. Attached to the centre of the table was a small elevated platform on which Landry could rest his rifle. The platform was placed on ball-bearings, giving him the capacity to move the gun about 140 degrees without having to shift the position of the wheelchair. GIVES STABILITIY The table provides the stability for Landry to rest his arm and the swinging platform gives him mobility. “And both are needed for the plan to work,” said Bourgeois. The next order of business was a trip to a local firing range to test the contraption and Landry's ability to fire a gun with only limited use of one arm. “I hadn't fired a gun in some time and in my weakened condition, I thought I might wind up on my back the very first shot I took,” said Landry. However, both man and machine passed the test and so, at 3 a.m. on a Saturday morning, the two set out for northern New Brunswick on what was to be a three-day hunting trip. warts
