Recently, I visited the Rexburg Temple to get a picture in the fog. The heavy fog made the temple look like it was very close to the heavenly clouds above. As I waited for dusk and the temple lights to turn on, as always doing a bit of people watching, I was struck by the comings and goings of the people, many with a slight glitch in their step, a limp, a crook, and the obvious effort that some made to be in the temple. I decided that not only is the temple heaven sent, but also those who make such an effort to visit that holy place.

CEDARVALE, also known as Minskinish, is an unincorporated community in the Skeena River valley of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Located originally on the west side of the Skeena as a railway station of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and nearby post office, in 1910, Cedarvale is now on the east side of the river along the Yellowhead Highway. The community's name in the Tsimshian language is Minskinish, meaning "under the pitch pines", which began as a missionary settlement similar in character to but much smaller than Metlakatla. The Indian reserve comprising the community is Koonwat Indian Reserve No. 7.
This settlement began as Minskinish, a Victorian missionary village like William Duncan's Metlakatla. The benevolent despot here was the Reverend R. Tomlinson, who founded the village in 1888. The Sabbath was strictly observed in Minskinish; no work of any sort was done on Sunday, no visitor arrived or departed, and if a river boat arrived that day it merely left the mail on the bank of the Skeena, where it was not touched until Monday. It is not surprising that the village was nicknamed "Holy City". Minskinish means "under the pitch pines". Its present name of Cedarvale comes from the cedars which grow around the landing.
The CEDARVALE Post Office was established - 1 July 1910,

Edith Mary (nee Thompson) Essex - Longest serving Postmistress in Canada

(b. 29 April 1894 in Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois, USA - d. 15 July 1969 at age 75 in Smithers, Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia, Canada) - GTP / CNR conductor 1918-1959, retired in 1967.
Clipped from - Terrace Standard newspaper - Terrace, British Columbia, Canada - 21 February 1996 - You could count on Edith - FROM THE AGE of 15 until she was 87, Edith Essex helped keep the mail on route in the little community of Cedarvale. Edith started working as the assistant postmaster in 1921 in the little post office and general store. She walked two miles to work, six days a week until she was 37, rarely missing a day. Sadly on Jan. 19 she passed away in the Wrinch Memorial Hospital in Hazelton at the age of 89. Her story was relayed to me recently by Mary Dalen, the director of the Meanskinsht Village Historical Association. Edith Mary Essex, nee Thompson, was born in Liverpool England on June 28, 1906. She came to Canada to the village of Meanskinsht in 1913. Meanskinsht means "at the base of the jackpine" and it was founded in 1888 by Rev. R. Tombinson. The village eventually became known as Cedarvale because of the post office, named after the cedars which grow around the landing. Edith made sure the mail got through no matter what the weather was like. Rain, wind, thunderstorms and blizzards never stopped her. Edith will be greatly missed as she dedicated 72 years of her life to serving Cedarvale through the post office and general store. Through the store she provided fresh fruit and produce to the community. And she allowed residents to charge their groceries until payday. Edith provided real small town service. She would carefully wrap and pack all the groceries and new each individuals and family's needs. She was well respected and trusted throughout the community. On June 28, 1988 Edith was honoured by her children, in-laws and grandchildren, along with the Meanskinsht association for her many years of serving the community. She was also adopted by the Bright Family, a large family which has many deep roots in the community. Edith called it a thrill of a lifetime. Edith contributed to her community in many ways, ' including her writing. She wrote two books of poems, Old Love Letters and Rhyme of a Country Postmistress, You can also read about Edith in the book The Last Little Station by Phylis Bowmen. Edith was also an avid gardener and loved animals. She had a flock of birds and a raven which she fed daily. Her dog Kelly was always by her side. Edith touched the lives of many people, and through her commitment and hard work became a legend far beyond the tiny community of Cedarvale. Funeral services for Edith Essex were held at the Kitwanga Community Hall. Rev. Robert McLeod officiated. She is greatly missed by her sisters Lillian Haapala of Castlegar and Dorothy Reid of Vancouver, and her brother William Thompson-Vane, sister-in-law Svea Thompson and her nieces and nephews. Edith Essex was predeceased by her husband Bill Essex, a conductor on the railway. Edith had the most enviable record of any Canada Post employee, having served longer than any other in the history of the post office.

City of VICTORIA was incorporated - 2 August 1862. It was named after Her Majesty Queen Victoria (1819-1901), who ascended to the throne in 1837 at age 18, and reigned until her death. Victoria was formerly the capital of Vancouver Island and later of the united colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, and since the union with Canada in 1871, the capital of the province of British Columbia.
There is no record of opening of the post office. There was a mail service arranged for Victoria in 1858 from San Fransisco - there is no doubt that it was always the intention at headquarters for the new establishment in the Straits of De Fuca to be named Fort Victoria.

FRAMMENTI...
Oggi girando per il web ho sentito più di una volta usare la parola....mancanza....
Cosa vi manca cari miei che siete laggiù?
Leggevo un po di tempo fa un bell'articolo sulla Mancanza, vorrei condividerlo, la mancanza in fondo è come quel Postino che suona sempre due volte.
Ognuno di noi si è trovato a subire una perdita più o meno grave, più o meno importante, ma pur sempre di separazione si tratta; bene cosa accade?
All'inizio arriva il postino a portarci la missiva della perdita e appena aperta la porta e si apre la lettera un senso di vuoto ci assale, ci manca la terra sotto i piedi e si fa fatica a credere ciò che si sta vivendo.
Si chiude la porta e ci si immerge in una sorta di trance, di distacco irreale dalla realtà, è il momento della sofferenza emotiva, delle lacrime a dirotto, delle sensazioni forti, dei vuoti di stomaco, si maledice il Postino, la vita stessa, si vorrebbe distruggere il mondo e non ricostruirlo, ci si sente stanchi da morire e si prende la forma del divano...poi......poi accade che dopo qualche giorno il Postino risuoni alla porta.
E' il momento più brutto, si apre la nuova lettera, e dentro ci sono le cose che parlano, gli oggetti che prendono vita e raccontano, ogni piccolo dettaglio ci sussurra cose che mai avremmo pensato di ascoltare, FRAMMENTI di vita prendono forma lentamente, un libro condiviso, un articolo di giornale commentato, un cd ascoltato, un braccialetto indossato, una foto scattata, e li in quel momento preciso il Postino ha assolto appieno il suo dovere, l'emotività della perdita assume dimensioni inestimabili, il vuoto diventa voragine, la disperazione, rivoli di lacrime dolci difficili da trattenere, anche un semplice e innocuo oggetto come un calendario può diventare un macigno che schiaccia la nostra memoria e la costringe a ritirare fuori ciò che si pensava messo da parte.
Si fa fatica sempre di più ad accettare le "partenze", gli allontanamenti, le assurde separazioni,
il Postino è sempre lì a ricordarci di assaporare i FRAMMENTI di un'esistenza che vorrebbe essere fatta di cose grandiose, ma che è nelle piccole emozioni che trova compimento ideale....
Un po triste zomberos...ma visto da quassù il mondo è proprio fatto di piccole GRANDI cose che danno EMOZIONI INESTIMABILI.......
BUON ASCOLTO E FATEMI SAPERE......
No, I went of my own accord.

Rest here in this place of dreams...Let me cool you...soothe you...caress you...all your troubles all your past flow to your feet and away...let it go through you slip away slip away...with me.. your heart is free...

一系列的明信片，是寄給臺灣朋友的，名單有記在個人板上，似乎就是剛好七個推文的人，不過哪一張是給誰的就不記得了。寄回來有拍下照片的，就這七張，不過應該還有多寄才是。
回到利福的明信片，我到重看檔案的時候，才發現這張是我住的海灘。我對著這塊石頭島對了兩天。還和民宿老闆出海去釣晚餐吃的魚。令人回味再三的遊歷。

Clipped from - Spokane Chronicle newspaper - Spokane, Washington - 30 January 1931 - Helmeted, Goggled Body Is Taken to Vancouver. VANCOUVER, Wash, Jan. 30. (VP) Death came probably instantaneously to Walter E. Case, physicians announced today, when his mail plane crashed into Bluff mountain near Washougal, eight days ago. An examination revealed that practically all the larger bones in his body were shattered, indicating his ship struck the base of the mountain with tremendous force. The body, however, was not mutilated. There was a severe bruise on the forehead where he had struck the Instrument board, and physicians said this blow alone probably would have caused death. The party which removed the body from the plane reached here this morning. The body was to be taken to Portland during the day. Pilot Walter E. Case never reached eastern Washington on his ill-fated flight a week ago yesterday morning with 250 pounds of east-bound air mail for Pasco. It was exactly 37 minutes from the time he left Swan Island airport at Portland until he crashed blindly into Bluff mountain, near Washougal, Wash. Crash Impact Halts Clack. The impact of the crash stopped the clock on the Instrument board of his Boeing 40-B-4 passenger-mail plane at 7:07 a. m. His flight report out of Swan Island shows a departure at 6:30 o'clock. Twice during the 37-minute death ride Case was in radio communication with ground forces at Portland, the last time being at 7:04 a. m, over Camas from where be reported he was turning back because of dense fog. Three minutes later he struck Bluff mountain, traveling 96 feet a second. Leon D. Cuddeback, vice president in charge of operations for the Varney Air Lines, Inc, definitely announced these facts after the rescue party had returned from the mountain early today. Blinded by the fog, Case did not realize the strong wind from the south was driving him north into the mountains as he circled tor a return to Portland. Four native boys of this community reached Case before tbs regular rescue party reached the peak of Bluff mountain, and immediately packed out to Washougal to spread the news. The boys did not disturb Cases body. They conducted a hurried inspection of the mail to determine the damage. A postal inspector recovered the 250 pounds of mail carried by the plane. All mail carried was found intact. LINK to a photo of a Boeing Type 40B-4 Mailplane - www.skytamer.com/Boeing_40B-4.html and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Model_40
