Living in Harmony
By Dora Jellema
A
s winter approaches, BC
enthusiasts look forward to
sports such as skiing and
snowboarding, whereas over the border
in Alaska is a very different story. There
one finds ongoing preparation for a
season of dog sled racing, culminating in the 'last great
race' in March when the Iditarod race is run.
The Iditarod is a 1,000 mile marathon test of endurance for
man and dog alike. Its name is derived from an Athabascan
native word haiditarod meaning 'far distant place'. The
more than 50 participants must have proven skill in
wilderness survival with their dog teams that are part
huskies, cross bred for their speed and endurance. They
face harsh conditions of weather and terrain, between
Anchorage on the south coast and Nome on the Bering
Strait. Each team of 16 dogs covers 100 miles a day for
at least 10 days and the race is not over till the last team
arrives to receive the 'red lantern' award, symbolic of the
light in a window to ensure safe home coming.
The start of the race in Anchorage is ceremonial, followed
by the real start 80 miles north in Willow. From there
the race takes these hardy teams into sparsely populated
territory. 26 check points on the way include careful
veterinary health checks of the dogs who wear bootees to
avoid ice cuts on their paws and are traced on the route
by micro-chips the vets have injected in their necks. The
drivers, known as mushers, sleep on the trail with their
dogs, enduring white out blizzards with wind chills
reaching 100 degrees below zero. As such there are two
compulsory day long rest stops along the way.
Living in harmony is relevant in the interdependence
of mushers with each other and with their dogs. It is
reminiscent of gold rush days, following the same path
used to deliver winter supplies to prospectors. Also,
a memorable run was held in 1925 when ice bound
Nome suffered a diphtheria epidemic with no access to
treatment. That year 20 mushers and their dogs were
involved in a relay to carry antitoxin serum that ships and
planes were unable to deliver. There is still a statue of the
lead dog, Balto, standing in Central Park, New York to mark
that admirable rescue mission.

Bus Trips
Bus Trip Advice
Arrive 15 minutes prior to departure. Pay attention to when and
where the bus will pick you up for the trip home. The bus will
not wait for any late-comers. Trip leaders will make every effort
to locate you but the bus will leave as scheduled. If you are not
returning with the bus, please sign off with the trip leader.
Return times are approximate. Please make travel arrangements for
returning home with this in mind.
Dress appropriately for the weather and trip. We do not assign
seats. Trip leaders will assist those with mobility concerns.
When you register, inform the front desk if you need to bring
a wheelchair or a walker. We require a minimum two week
notification to arrange wheelchair transportation. We do our best
to make the trip accessible and accommodate participation.
For trips to the USA, bring your valid travel documentation
(passport, enhanced drivers licence). It is your responsibility to
buy extra medical insurance. Be aware that laws prohibit some
merchandise from being brought back across the border. BC Ferries
offers a discount to seniors over 65. If you are under 65, you must
pay the full ferry fare.
On Dine Out! trips, the main focus is the restaurant. Opting out of
the meal for the secondary trip feature is NOT permissible.
Substitutions made on your own are not permitted. If you are
unable to make the trip, please notify the front desk to confirm
alternate arrangements.
Please take note of Glen Pine Extended Parking requirements. You
may obtain a parking pass in advance of your trip or if you leave
your License Plate # at time of registration, a parking pass will be
made up in advance as long as the trip leaves during regular front
desk hours.
NOTE: Bus trip pick up spots are at Dogwood and Glen Pine (Spirit
Square on Burlington Drive across from City Hall, meet in the Hub
when Glen Pine is open). These are the only designated stops or pick
ups. Depending on the destination, the bus will pick up at Dogwood
or Glen Pine first. Prices include school bus transportation unless
otherwise stated.
REFUND POLICY: Full refund shall be issued if the request is made
5 days in advance of the bus trip. No refund under 5 days. As many
trips are prepaid, we need ample time to find a replacement for last
minute cancellations.
One week prior to a bus trip, if there is space remaining, a nonannual pass holder may register.
If a bus trip is full, place your name on the wait list. There is a strong
possibility that another bus can be booked or another day planned.
For theatre performances, we try our best to have you sit with
whom you wish but there is no guarantee.
If you need seating assistance, please speak to your designated trip
leaders before boarding the bus. They can be identified by their
name tags.

A quartet of male singers takes a detour

Remember, Heart and Soul, and Love is
a Many Splendored Thing. Forever Plaid
is a festive-season treat that is not to

Bonnie Herron
My Courage Rises, a Jane Austen - inspired novel.
"I didn't set out to write about Jane. The fact is that Jane Austen inserts herself
into my novel seemingly without my conscious bidding; she supports my
heroine, as she copes with considerable challenges in her life. Strong female
characters are the stuff of Jane Austen's novels; it seemed natural for me
to write about a heroine who is familiar with Anne Elliot, Elizabeth Bennet,
and Emma Woodhouse." - Bonnie Herron. Learn more about Bonnie and My

The Theologian's Cafe
You don't need to be a theologian or
even a church (or temple or mosque
or meeting house) goer to participate,
you only need to have an interest in the
subject. Air your views and to listen to
those of others on religious, spiritual
and related topics. Participants from
all religious affiliations (and those
without one) are welcome to this nondenominational Café.
The moderator for the program is John
Slattery. He has degrees in Physics,
Philosophy, Education and a Diploma in
Theological Studies.
Keeping the Faith - Or Not
Are you an 'apostate', a 'heretic', or one
who has simply drifted away from one's
birth faith? Or have you maintained your
religious beliefs (or your beliefs about
religion) more or less steadfastly from
the beginning? What causes a person
to lose or question his or her faith? And
what are the consequences?

Religion and the Secular Society

The Good Death
All of us will die and most of us have

responses to the newly legalized option
of doctor assisted dying?

Rituals
This is the season of rituals. Ritualistic
behaviour is among the oldest of human
practices. All religions (and many secular
groups) have their own rituals. We may
also have our own individual or family
rituals. But what roles do rituals play in
our religious or secular lives? Why do
we have them at all? And when might a
ritual become obsolete?
