TALES OF A TRAVELLING TEACHER Anecdotes and experiences from my time as President and CEO of the 240,000- member Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF)

(A series by Allan Bacon)

For several months I wrestled with the problem of how to assist Kibaha Secondary School Library. During this time I held extensive discussions with my staff members and made contact with all the school Librarians in the Carleton and Ottawa Boards of Education (they were separate Boards then), having asked permission from the Directors of Education. I also contacted the Universities of Ottawa and Carleton and the Parliamentary Library. In each case I asked whether they would be willing to donate books to Kibaha. I received very positive responses. In February 1994, when the CTF Board of Directors met, I put to them a plan. In outline, Mr. Mombokaleo would be contacted and asked to prepare lists of books that would be most useful to all of the institutions in the Kibaha Education Centre campus. We would then provide him with airline tickets to fly to Canada, where he would stay for three weeks at CTF expense, and visit each of the libraries that had agreed to help with providing books. Arrangements would then be made to fly the books and other library equipment to Tanzania. Again, I received unanimous approval from my Board to provide the financing needed. Mr. Mombokaleo duly arrived in Ottawa. Pauline and I met him at the airport. He was so excited to be here, having never flown before. Back in Tanzania he lived in a small village and the villagers had hired a bus to accompany him to the airport in Dar es Salaam to share as much of his experience as possible. I drove him to Les Suites in downtown Ottawa where he was to stay. Pauline and I were fascinated to see his reactions to everything – a large bed, a TV, a bathroom – things that he had not experienced before. During his stay CTF provided him with a per diem, a small part of which he used to buy and prepare

his own food which he purchased in the Byward Market. Each day either Pauline and I, or one of my staff, would meet him and drive him to libraries, where he would select books from those put aside for him, or take him on sightseeing tours around the city and its environs. We also bought him practical gifts, such as a wind-up radio, mosquito nets, and clothes for himself and his family. I will always remember his reaction when we took him to visit Parliament. He was visibly shaking with fear as we entered the grounds, and I could understand why. (When I had been in Dar es Salaam it was forbidden to go too near any government building and I had been apprehended by an armed soldier when I tried to take a picture of some wild life in the grounds of the President’s residence. I should have known better! Even when the Minister of Education wished to have his photograph taken with me outside his own Ministry building, he had to ask permission.) It took some time to reassure Mr. Mombokaleo that he would be quite safe. In due course a large number of books was gathered together at the CTF headquarters to be packed. We also purchased filing cabinets, filing cards, a typewriter (manual) and ribbons. Mr. Mombokaleo met with the CTF Board members and was entertained at a final dinner before Pauline and I drove him to the airport to return home. He said to me, “You have changed my life for ever. I have saved most of the per diem that you gave me, some $600 in all. When I return home I will buy a small plot of land on which I can grow vegetables, some of which I can sell and so my family will benefit.” Some months later I received a letter from him, which read in part : ‘All the 128 boxes (of books) and equipment are here at Kibaha Library. The Kibaha Community is extremely happy and excited. They don’t believe their eyes. Mr. Allan, my trip to Tanzania was fine. I met a big crowd at the airport waiting to welcome me. Please convey my regards to Mrs. Allan Bacon. I really remember you, a kind couple.’

In Our Song Book by Ed Wicks

A Family Fry

If a group of Salvationists was invited to list the names of best-known families in the history of The Salvation Army, chances are the name of Fry would not be on the list along with Booth (the Founder, writer of “O Boundless Salvation”; many song-writing children); Slater (“The Father of Salvation Army Music”); Orsborn (General and author of “Except I am moved with compassion” and 32 other songs and choruses in our Song Book); Gowans and Larsson (both Generals, and of musicals fame, 10 of them, 28 songs in the Song Book). Nonetheless, the family of Charles William Fry (1838-1882) has its own special niche in Salvation Army history. It is perhaps not unrealistic to suggest that were it not for this family, one of the truly distinctive features of the Army, the Salvation Army band, might not have come into being.

When William Booth broke from the Methodist Church in 1865 and formed the Christian Mission, the precursor to The Salvation Army, Charles William Fry (1838-1882), his wife and three sons were worshiping (and were active members) in a local Methodist congregation. A bricklayer by trade like his father, Charles was also a versatile musician, playing the violin, cello, piano, cornet and harmonium, as well as leading an orchestra and band at a Wesleyan chapel. But when the Christian Mission made an appeal for volunteers to help at their outdoor services, the Fry family immediately offered their services and indeed suggested that they might be able to help quell some of the unruly behavior that the Mission often encountered. Their plan was to play musical instruments in the hope they would “distract” the unruly who might disrupt the services. It soon became apparent that the sound of band music also brought increased attendance at the outdoor services, and before long, the little Fry ensemble of four was augmented with other musical types, and the first Salvation Army band came into existence with Charles as the bandmaster.

After his death in 1882, a monument to "The first band master of The Salvation Army" was unveiled over his grave.

Charles Fry’s son Fred (Fred William Fry, 1859-1939) had a long association with The Salvation Army. As a Staff-Captain, he became a member of the Army’s Music Editorial Department, and worked closely with the Founder’s son Herbert. In 1891, he was appointed bandmaster of the International Staff band. In 1892, he came to Canada as the private secretary to Commandant Herbert H. Booth. When Fred Fry passed to his eternal reward, he was identified as the last surviving member of the first Salvation Army band.

From the modest beginning of one small brass ensemble in 1875, the Salvation Army band grew rapidly in number, the first Corps band being set up a few years later. A mere two years after the Founder’s death in 1912, it was reported that The Salvation Army could boast of having over 1,600 Corps bands (and 25,000 players). Ample evidence, one might conclude, that The Salvation Army owes much to the Family Fry.

Charles and Fred Fry each have two songs in our Song Book, Charles contributing God gave his Son for me (#166) and I’ve found a friend in Jesus (#868) and Fred, To thy cross I come, Lord (#481) and In the Army of Jesus I’ve taken my stand (# 960)

WOMEN’S MINISTRIES REPORT (by Ruth Smith and Irene Briggs)

Women's Fellowship met on September 13th following the summer break. Captain Graciela welcomed everyone back including some new members and then invited the ladies to share some of their summer highlights. Irene Briggs and Kathy Morel explained how the upcoming programs would be achieved. Four coordinators have been put in place to cover the areas of Education, Worship, Fellowship, and Service. Members were invited to select their area of interest and to sign on to that particular team. In this way the coordinator would be able to call upon her team to assist in preparing a program each month. On September 20th, the women enjoyed a wonderful trip to Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau

to see the MosaiCanada 150. Hunt Club Manor graciously supplied a scenic bus ride to the location. The exhibits were fantastic, given that they were all produced with live vegetation. The weather was lovely and thus the group enjoyed a picnic lunch in the park before returning home. For several reasons, some of our Wonen's Felloship members were not able to join the bus trip to MosaiCanada 150. They came instead to the regular WF meeting at the Hall where they were able to see a complete PowerPoint photo tour of the Mosaica sculptures. (See photos of a few of them below). The viewing caused considerable excitment and enjoyment. Some women were inspired to try to make the actual journey to Jacques Cartier Park to see the size and scope of the originals.

DAVID’S SONG OF VICTORY

DID YOU KNOW?

Your Building Advisory Committee met on Wednesday, September 6th. The agenda was lengthy due to the many matters arising over the summer months. A brief summary is provided below but, if you have questions or suggestions concerning any of these matters, please pass them along to a committee member. Dave Holland was welcomed as a new member of the BAC. His input and expertise will be assets to the work here.

1. Outside/Grounds Maintenance Project Review: i) The exterior hose bib on the south wall was leaking water into the wall causing damage in the kitchen. This was

replaced in August. The BAC plans to have a similar tap installed at the front of the building. ii) The BAC decided the best course of action is to replace two more HVAC roof units. Quotes to replace the unit

over the office and the east wall of the Sanctuary will be sought as soon as possible. iii) The three Sanctuary thermostats are no longer controlling the HVAC units and must be replaced immediately.

Two quotes for the parts and labour have been acquired at $1,700+ in both cases. iv) With the assistance of lots of rain, the lawn maintenance program was deemed to be good this year. v) As part of the City of Ottawa’s Tree Replacement program, the final two trees (red oaks) were planted along

Brookline Road on the south side. Replacement was due to the heavy damage done by the Emerald Ash Borer. vi) The BAC recommends returning to last year’s snow clearing contractor in spite of some problems. He has been

given clear instructions as to placing the snow banks and using a bucket to improve mounding. vii) Recycling in the waste services contract is now in place. viii) Four roof locations are now leaking and a roofer has been on site several times. Problems may originate with

flashing and possibly through several of the HVAC roof units – more to follow in the next Contact. ix) Additional lighting above the backwall cross will be installed for esthetics as well as security illumination.

2. Interior Retrofitting and Maintenance Projects i) Surveillance by cameras and human monitoring will be increased to ensure security during activities. ii) Updated quotes for replacing the balance of the original windows on the south end of the building. iii) Kitchen is now in need of updating due to heavy usage and end of life cycle for cupboards, appliances, counters. iv) The Fire/Emergency Evacuation Plan will be reviewed, revised and presented to Ottawa Fire Services & posting. v) Carpet cleaning throughout the building is overdue. Logistics will be worked out for moving furniture. vi) Dave Holland has undertaken the task of painting the repaired wall in the accessible washroom and Family

Services door. 3. Officers’ Quarters: The driveway and walkway have been resurfaced. Other exterior work will be done in the

spring. Carpet replacement/hardwood installation and some painting will be done later in 2018. ii

If you look closely at the calendar pages for October and November at the back of this issue of the Contact, you will notice an entry in quotation marks for each Sunday. Each entry is the theme of the meeting for that day. The entries are part of Captain Arkell’s Sermon Plan for the fall session this year.

Page 8 The Ottawa Citadel Contact RALLY DAY – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH This year’s Rally Day kicked off with a number of different looks. The weather was outstanding – hot and sunny – unusual for the middle of September. Without attempting to name all the hard-working individuals who did so much to make the event a success, it wouldn’t hurt to mention the leadership of people such as Captains Arkell, Kathy McDormand, Patti Harvey, Linda Colwell and many more. New features included the roast pig dinner and the outdoor concert by the Band and Songsters as well as a wide variety of active and sit-down activities for all ages. To everyone who worked at stations, planned or participated – WELL DONE! Some pictures of the fun follow below:

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY, 5 NOVEMBER 2017

November 11, 2017 will be Remembrance Day in Canada and around the world. At Ottawa Citadel we will hold our annual Remembrance Service on Sunday, 5 November. It will be a time to reflect, to remember and to give thanks. It will be a time also to remind ourselves of the futility, the waste, the pity and the sadness that is war’s reality. The focal point of a Remembrance Day service is the playing of the Last Post and Reveille, with a silence between the two bugle calls, along with the playing of a Lament on the bagpipes. Today we seem either to have forgotten, or do not know, their significance and meaning. Implicit in this ritual is the resurrection. Each of the three acts (Last Post – Silence – Reveille) is deeply symbolic and was intended to be. The Last Post, the bugle call that marks the end of the day and the setting of the sun, is also used at military funerals. It thereby represents the death of a soldier. The Silence is an opportunity to reflect upon the dead, but it also suggests Christ’s time in the tomb. The Reveille, the bugle call that awakens soldiers each day, by extension resurrects the fallen and signals their ascension. The sounding of Reveille recalls a line from Rupert Brooke’s poem ‘The Dead’ (“Blow out, you bugles, over the rich dead”) and also a verse from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, which affirms the immortality of the soul: “For the trumpet shall sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible.” General Sir Arthur Currie, who commanded Canadian troops during the First World War (1914-1918), speaking at the dedication of a war memorial in Peterborough in 1929 said: “The veteran was not pugnacious and anxious for war, but rather the greatest and sincerest pacifist extant. Veterans are men who deplored war, its military discipline, its hardships, its trail of suffering, but who tomorrow, if their country needed their services, would immediately respond to the call and make every sacrifice to ensure a more lasting peace. The veteran of the Great War is the only true pacifist, for only he was willing to risk death on the battlefield in defence of peace. The only way to demonstrate a true commitment to peace is to be willing to fight and die for it.” ~Allan Bacon Join us on November 5 for our Remembrance Service at 10.45 a.m. (Please note the earlier start time.)

She works at a high school in Barrhaven as a Library Technician.. She has two children, a male and a female who are involved with computers, and she is a widow, having lost her husband to cancer a few years ago. In fact her son Derek is the Ottawa Citadel webmaster. He plays the piano and used to play cornet in the Senior Band.

Years ago we would have found Lorraine growing up in Gatineau, or more correctly, in Wrightville, which is a suburb of Gatineau. She loves to travel, and has visited the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Florida. She says her next trip might take her down east in Canada.

Lorraine knows how to work within a budget since she buys books for the school where she works. Right now she’s waiting for a 3-D printer at the school. She also passes on her skills in sewing, knitting and weaving to those around her.

Many years ago she quit her job at the Bank of Canada and took a two-year course at Algonquin College which prepared her for her current position as a Library Technician. She worked for Library and Archives Canada and Transport Canada before obtaining work with the Catholic School Board. Lorraine also worked in a casual position at the Ottawa Public Library for a number of years

In her spare time Lorraine does Scottish country dancing, which she says is good exercise and is also good for the mind. Add to this her Nordic walking with poles, exercise and reading, she does not have much other spare time.

We might not agree but Lorraine considers herself to be an introvert. She says she likes going to concerts, as well as gardening, camping and going to the cottage. She lives in the west end of Ottawa and can walk to the Ottawa River, the Green Belt and to Bayshore for shopping.

Lorraine says her talents do not extend to the musical side of life. She says she cannot sing. Even so, Ottawa Citadel is fortunate to have this lady as a soldier, which she became on June 2, 2013.

The People Page – Lorraine Vlacek - by Helen Groh –

Lorraine considers herself our Treasurer-in-Training. We see her every Sunday as she asks for our offerings, but there’s more to this lady than that.
