To Gain Your Soul
My neighbour asked me why I came to Eastend and , for that matter, what motivates anyone
to move here. Why this little, out of the way, obscure place? Why not a bigger town with
more 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, the
surrounding country is a marvel everyday. There’s a universe of discovery outside my door
every day and in the sky every night. Breathtaking and an amazement. A valley of secrets
hidden right out in the open for everyone to see.
However, there’s more to it than that. This is the first community I’ve ever really experi-
enced. Cities are composed of clusters of common exposures. People you see in the same
place at about the same time everyday or week. Starbucks, the gym, the office. You see
them and exchange a few words hoping not to be caught for anything more. There are lots of
things to get done and there’s so little time to waste.
Community here is different, it means that every interaction with someone else is slower
and more valued. Time has another emphasis and it’s measured. An exchange is valuable all
by itself. Business has to get done but people expect something added and it’s that personal
connection. 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 town
full of ordinary people. I was told that when I scratched the surface I’d be disappointed.
Mean little bits and stories were lurking just beneath the surface. Well, of course they are.
That’s what the history of any community is .. bits and stories. Some are grand and some
aren’t. Some originated here and some we brought with us. We’re creating more every day.
Except here the story you tell with your life still has an importance because it touches up
against the story of everyone else. That’s why a second edition of Eastend history is impor-
tant and deserves to be written. There’s a lot here that should be held onto and preserved in
writing and in the museum. Don’t let it drift away.
Why do outsiders want to live here? To gain your soul you must be prepared to lose it. And
now, with all due respect, I know what that means. JK

HISTORY BOOK COMMITTEE
FORMED
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.

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 of
the 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.
Synopsis: The Blind Side
“The Blind Side” depicts the remarkable
true story of Michael Oher, a homeless
African-American youngster from a bro-
ken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-
to-do white family who help him fulfill his
potential. At the same time, Michael’s
presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them
to some insightful self-discoveries of their
own. Living in his new environment, the
teen faces a completely new set of chal-
lenges to overcome. As football player
and as a student, Oher works hard and,
with the help of his adopted family, be-
comes an All-American defensive left
tackle. Sandra Bullock won an Academy
Award as Best Actress in this role.

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. Professional and
amateur astronomers, educators and all astronomy enthusiasts worldwide can chose
between global star parties, meteor watching, events dedicated to the Moon, the Sun
and to Saturn, dark sky pledges, virtual meetings with famous astronomers, remote
observations 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 the
global celebration of the Universe this April!
1. Living Legends Series - (virtual event) Date to be announced
A 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 Affiliates
around the world will also interact with the special guests. Each program presents a unique
opportunity to see and interact with the most fascinating people in astronomy. It's one of
many online programs being presented throughout the month.
2. Is There Anybody Out There? - (remote event) 7th April 00.00 UT
Who 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 with
others around the globe, by the dimming of the light of its "sun" while it crosses in front of
it. It's one highlight of a series of online observing events for everyone.
3. SunDay - (physical event) 11th April
Become 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 a
solar spectroscope, tune in to special programs. Be sure you use the proper methods and
filters! SunDay is one of many programs about the Sun to take place during GAM.
4. Saturn Watch - (physical event) from 12th to 16th April
Saturn'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 11
April and continues nightly through the 16th. Amateur clubs and sidewalk astronomers are
encouraged 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 April
Beauty Without Borders is a grassroots program begun by amateurs around the world and
now coordinated by Astronomers Without Borders to bring more of us together to share
celestial highlights with the public, and with each other. This time Saturn is the "beauty". If
you have a telescope, join sidewalk astronomers worldwide who have banded together in
this unique program.
6. Write Your Name in the Sky! - (remote event) 15th April 21.30 UT
Asteroids have always intrigued us. They're mysterious and sometimes frightening when
they enter our region of space. In this online remote observing event we face our fears and
reveal the secrets of these lonely travelers as we hunt for asteroids in real time. The first to
discover one could get naming rights, putting a label in the sky for eternity!
7. Lunar Week - (physical event) from 17th to 23rd April
17 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, educational
programs, online observing events, competitions and a celebration of the Moon in different
cultures are just a few ways you can participate in Lunar Week.
8. Lyrids Watch - (physical event) 21st and 22nd April
Meteor showers are one of nature's great displays: dozens of "falling stars" that scratch the
night sky. Dress warmly, lay back and watch the show right above your head. It's more than
a light show, though. The cosmic debris we see burning up in the atmosphere are left over
from a comet's tail. There are records of this meteor shower going back 2600 years. What
will this year's shower be like?
9. One Star at a Time - (dark skies) Dates to be announced
One Star at a Time is looking for a missing object. We've lost our Milky Way and we want
it 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 needlessly and 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 your
own 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 April
The excitement generated by Global Astronomy Month comes to a peak on Saturday, 24
April, 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 across
the 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.
