To Gain Your Soul

My neighbour asked me why I came to Eastend and , for that matter, what motivates anyoneto move here. Why this little, out of the way, obscure place? Why not a bigger town withmore amenities and choices; style, pulse and excitement? Shopping! Why here in the deso-late Palliser Triangle?

Bigger towns and cities flaunt their riches, here they are almost taken for granted. Yes, thesurrounding country is a marvel everyday. Theres a universe of discovery outside my doorevery day and in the sky every night. Breathtaking and an amazement. A valley of secretshidden right out in the open for everyone to see.

However, theres more to it than that. This is the first community Ive ever really experi-enced. Cities are composed of clusters of common exposures. People you see in the sameplace at about the same time everyday or week. Starbucks, the gym, the office. You seethem and exchange a few words hoping not to be caught for anything more. There are lots ofthings to get done and theres so little time to waste.

Community here is different, it means that every interaction with someone else is slowerand more valued. Time has another emphasis and its measured. An exchange is valuable allby itself. Business has to get done but people expect something added and its that personalconnection. The sense of community is what captured me. Here where there are fewer peo-ple every one is integral to the fabric of the town.

When the illusion of an ideal community finally passes you discover that this is just a townfull of ordinary people. I was told that when I scratched the surface Id be disappointed.

Mean little bits and stories were lurking just beneath the surface. Well, of course they are.Thats what the history of any community is .. bits and stories. Some are grand and somearent. Some originated here and some we brought with us. Were creating more every day.Except here the story you tell with your life still has an importance because it touches upagainst the story of everyone else. Thats why a second edition of Eastend history is impor-tant and deserves to be written. Theres a lot here that should be held onto and preserved inwriting and in the museum. Dont let it drift away.

Why do outsiders want to live here? To gain your soul you must be prepared to lose it. Andnow, with all due respect, I know what that means. JK

HISTORY BOOK COMMITTEEFORMED

Almost three decades have passed since the

first history book was printed for the com-

munity of Eastend and surrounding districts.

So many families and businesses have

moved to the community and many families

have moved on. With that in mind, a com-

mittee of interested residents has been

formed to compile a second volume of the

community history book,Range Riders and

Sodbusters. The goal of this committee is

to have this second edition ready for distri-bution in time to celebrate Eastend's Centen-

nial year in 2014.

The committee consists of Ted and Mae

Gleim, Harvey Johnson, Roberta Egland,

Boyd Taylor, Lynne Giverhaug, Gail Ken-

drick, Darlene Pearson and Beth Lundsten.

If anyone is interested in being a part of this

project, whether it be to collect an updated

history of families or businesses, a typeset-

ter, proof reader or fundraiser, you are in-

vited to call Mae at 295-3683 or contact any

of the committee members prior to the next

meeting to be held at the Gleim residence

232 Elm Avenue North on April 13th at

7:30p.m.

Take part in Global Astronomy Month in April

10 ways to participate in Global Astronomy Month this April!

New Global Programs invite everyone to join in; Astronomers Without Borders(AWB) has developed Global Programs everyone can take part in.

and to Saturn, dark sky pledges, virtual meetings with famous astronomers, remoteobservations of exoplanets, asteroid discoveries and much more. Below are 10 high-lights of these global programs, and there's much more on the GAM website. Join theglobal celebration of the Universe this April!

1. Living Legends Series - (virtual event) Date to be announcedA highlight of several online interactive events during GAM, the Living Legend Series be-gins its run during GAM. Streamed live online for everyone to watch, AWB Affiliatesaround the world will also interact with the special guests. Each program presents a uniqueopportunity to see and interact with the most fascinating people in astronomy. It's one ofmany online programs being presented throughout the month.

2. Is There Anybody Out There? - (remote event) 7th April 00.00 UTWho hasn't asked themselves this question? Astronomers have discovered 450 planets out-side our Solar System, and you can observe one of them online, sharing the excitement withothers around the globe, by the dimming of the light of its "sun" while it crosses in front ofit. It's one highlight of a series of online observing events for everyone.

3. SunDay - (physical event) 11th AprilBecome a Sun worshipper on 11 April! Our own star is the worldwide focus on this day.Gather your friends to observe the Sun, bring your telescope out for others to see it, make asolar spectroscope, tune in to special programs. Be sure you use the proper methods andfilters! SunDay is one of many programs about the Sun to take placeduring GAM.

4. Saturn Watch - (physical event) from 12th to 16th AprilSaturn's rings are back! They've been turned sideways to us and hard to see but this fascinat-ing planet is once again showing off its famous ring system. Saturn Watch begins on 11April and continues nightly through the 16th. Amateur clubs and sidewalk astronomers areencouraged to plan observing events to share Saturn with the public. It's one of several pro-grams meant to encourage amateur astronomers to get involved.

5. Beauty Without Borders - Saturn for All - (physical event) 16th AprilBeauty Without Borders is a grassroots program begun by amateurs around the world andnow coordinated by Astronomers Without Borders to bring more of us together to sharecelestial highlights with the public, and with each other. This time Saturn is the "beauty". Ifyou have a telescope, join sidewalk astronomers worldwide who have banded together inthis unique program.

6. Write Your Name in the Sky! - (remote event) 15th April 21.30 UTAsteroids have always intrigued us. They're mysterious and sometimes frightening whenthey enter our region of space. In this online remote observing event we face our fears andreveal the secrets of these lonely travelers as we hunt for asteroids in real time. The first todiscover one could get naming rights, putting a label in the sky for eternity!

7. Lunar Week - (physical event) from 17th to 23rd April17 April marks the start of Lunar Week, seven nights dedicated to observing the closest ce-lestial body to Earth and our companion in our yearly journey around the Sun. Moon-themed star parties to observe the Moon through telescopes and by naked eye, educationalprograms, online observing events, competitions and a celebration of the Moon in differentcultures are just a few ways you can participate in Lunar Week.

8. Lyrids Watch - (physical event) 21st and 22nd AprilMeteor showers are one of nature's great displays: dozens of "falling stars" that scratch thenight sky. Dress warmly, lay back and watch the show right above your head. It's more thana light show, though. The cosmic debris we see burning up in the atmosphere are left overfrom a comet's tail. There are records of this meteor shower going back 2600 years. Whatwill this year's shower be like?

9. One Star at a Time - (dark skies) Dates to be announcedOne Star at a Time is looking for a missing object. We've lost our Milky Way and we wantit back! The Milky Way stretches across the sky, composed of thousands of stars in our gal-axy but it's hidden from view in our cities by the blanket of light we needlesslyand waste-fully send up into the sky. But what can you do about it? Join this new global project -launching during GAM - and pledge to preserve and protect the starry night sky above yourown home or business. Join with others around the world to bring our Milky Way back -One Star at a Time.

10. Global Star Party - 24th AprilThe excitement generated by Global Astronomy Month comes to a peak on Saturday, 24April, with the ultimate observing event. The Global Star Party is the time to come out un-der the stars, bring your own telescope and encourage others to join to bridge gaps acrossthe seas, under the theme "one people, one sky." Begun during 100 Hours of Astronomy

during the International Year of Astronomy (2009), the Global Star Party is an ongoing an-nual AWB event.

April 21, 22 - Lyrids Meteor Shower

The Lyrids are an average shower, usually

producing about 20 meteors per hour at

their peak. These meteors can produce

bright dust trails that last for several sec-

onds. This year's shower should peaks on

the night of April 21 and the morning ofthe 22nd, although some meteors can be

visible from April 16 - 25. The quarter

moon will set early in the evening, leaving

a dark sky for the best possible viewing in

dark locations. Look for meteors radiating

from the constellation of Lyra after mid-

night.
