[email protected] The Parishioner Page 3 A Rough Guide to Cricket There’s a breathless hush in the Close tonight, Ten to make and the match to win. A bumping pitch and a blinding light An hour to play and the last man in. And it’s not for the sake of a ribboned coat On the selfish hope of a seasons fame But his captain’s hand on his shoulder smote “Play up! Play up!! and play the game” (Sir Henry Newbolt – Vitai Lampada) Of course, it was not quite like that when the Rector’s XI played the Youth Worker’s XI in the annual cricket challenge match, but at least the bumping pitch and a wonderful sporting spirit were present. The rector, aware that his ageing team would struggle with the light later on, arranged to win the toss and bat first. Sam, equally aware that there was a lot of area to cover when fielding, selected twelve players for his team, while Simon trumped this by selecting fifteen, realising that eleven would never bat out the twenty overs! Richard G and Michael opened to discover that Sam had introduced a power play with all twelve fielders inside the circle. With young Harry and Jack wandering about playing football and talking to the fielders, while Janet tried to get a close up photo of the batsmen, there were not many gaps in the infield. This forced Michael to go for a risky single, but Andrew B ran him out with a direct hit on the stumps. Richard G followed soon afterwards when Harry removed the middle stump and then Stefan played on to leave the score 3 for 3. Billy stayed long enough to score a few runs and also see the score mount as he faced a number of wides and no balls before Richard H was run out with another direct hit by Andrew B. Jeff and especially Jonnie then formed a decent paring for a short while, with Jonnie nearly reaching double figures. eterP came to the wicket using his golfing skill to club a few daisy cutters before being run out, again by Andrew H with another direct hit. Marsden and Andrew G unfortunately failed to bother the scorer which brought Alan and Brian to the wicket. Sam, who had given everybody an over to bowl, now brought himself on to bowl at his father. To the amazement of both and the delight of one, he demolished the stumps with the only ball he bowled anywhere near the wicket all night. Neil D came and hit a few good singles before being caught by the redoubtable Andrew B. Neil B came in determined to accelerate the score and started with a magnificent boundary, but perished when trying to repeat the stroke, caught by Andrew H. This left the senior team on the unlikely score of 62 for 13 before Simon came to the wicket, resplendent in his MCC jersey with the scrambled eggs and bacon colours neatly worked into the band of the V neck. He was welcomed with a guard of honour and then Sam continued this sporting gesture by generously dropping Simon’s first attempted chip over mid on. (Simon really loves his chips) Simon, relieved at this reprieve, then hit the first six of the night, as he reached double figures to remain undefeated along with Alan L, at the end of twenty overs. Alan also deserves a mention for occupying the crease for thirty seven minutes, by far the longest. Although he only scored four, his ability to keep out the rare good ball, upset the bowlers enough to provoke a series of wides, extremely wide wides and ridiculous wide wides which pushed the score along to 80 for 13 with about half the total supplied by top scorer, extras. With such an unusual score, no one was sure how you worked out a Duckworth Lewis target score in the event of the light fading, so Andrew B and Craig set off in rapid pursuit of the total until Neil B bowled Craig for 9. Sam came to the wicket and chipped the ball to Simon, who kindly repaid Sam’s earlier favour by dropping it. However, shortly afterwards Sam was caught by Michael H. Michael B clubbed a few singles before being out and then Andrew B generously retired on 25 to give the Rector’s team a slight hope of victory. But David V came to the wicket to hit an enormous 6 and he and Andrew S safely reached the total required with 4 overs to spare. Andrew Beech with his undefeated 25, 2 run outs and 2 catches was man of the match. Simon nominated Sam as sportsman of the year for dropping him on 0. Sam nominated Simon as sportsman of the year for dropping him on 0 also. A special mention for Marsden for his courageous performance behind the stumps, stopping the ball with all parts of his body, (except his hands) as the bowling became ever more wayward and illegal. Our thanks for an enjoyable evening goes to all the players, the umpires, the spectators and to Susan Stockton, who with great prescience brought along flasks of tea and coffee which were most welcome as the sun went , the moon came up, the wind got stronger and the temperature dropped.

Parish Garden Parties The Parishioner Page 5 Changes afoot at the Parish Office rom this month there will be a new face in the Parish office, although it Fwill also be a very familiar one to most of the congregation. Rachel Brittain will be manning the office on Thursdays and Fridays, job sharing with Sue Bleakley and carrying out the many and varied parish secretarial duties. For Rachel, it will mean taking on a multi faceted role in what is often a very busy and bustling setting but she is looking forward with relish to the challenges ahead.

As a member of the Manogue family, Rachel has practically been a lifelong member of St Columbanus – having been baptised, confirmed and been a member of various youth organisations. Now she attends Mother and Toddlers with her own son Matthew, and she is hoping that the fact she is not coming in as a stranger will ease her into the new post. “It will be an absolute joy to be able to walk to my work on those days instead of having to sit in commuter traffic,” she added.

From Monday to Wednesday Rachel works for CMS Ireland as a Mission Resource Co-ordinator. Although she studied drama at University she did not really have a “career plan” but knew that the acting world was too “cutthroat” for her liking. Rachel became involved with CMS when she was asked to cover for a youth worker for a couple of months on a “stop gap” basis. From there she became more involved in the communications department and event management. And, eight years on, it’s obvious that she’s still really enjoying her work - “CMS is a great place to work. The staff’s very supportive and very understanding and it is a very rewarding job,” she added.

Sue, meanwhile, needs no introduction as she will be 26 years in her post in November this year.

When she started, all those years ago, there was no job interview – Marty her husband came home and announced that there was a job going in the parish office and she was duly appointed by Canon Jack Mercer. Her main role at that time was to centralise information about the parish, much of which was contained in Canon Mercer’s head. In particular, the need arose after people went out to covenant parishioners only to find that in some cases, the person concerned had died or moved away. “The parish was also growing and, with other things coming into play, there was a need for a central place where everyone could come to get and leave information,” recalled Sue.

For a time she was able to combine the job with her role as a dinner lady in Ballyholme Primary but as her duties gradually expanded in the office she was eventually forced to concentrate solely on that post. “It doesn’t seem like 26 years in this job,” she said, adding that the post has greatly expanded and evolved down through all those years. She has noted many “subtle” social changes down through the years –for instance, parish socials were really the single highlight in the year, but there is a greater variety of events with musicals, choirs, a tea dance and the upcoming Gardener’s Question time. Although entering the computer era has revolutionised office life, there is one valuable piece of office equipment Sue will not be rushing to replace – her faithful card index. Indeed, one of her first tasks when she started working was to make a brand new copy of Canon Mercer’s card index – one which she still uses to this day!

Having that extra time on her hands each week now will give her and Marty the opportunity to use their bus passes to head off into the wide blue yonder around , if the fancy takes them. Rosie Lawther Page 6 The Parishioner Kiwoko Update rom the end of May I have been working on the FPaediatric ward at Kiwoko. There I will do a four week paediatric experience and four weeks in an adult placement. To register in Uganda with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you have to complete an eight week internship at a designated hospital. If your supervisor’s report is good, the Council will register you to begin practising. I hope that I have always tried to be empathetic to my families and children under my care in the past but definitely now as a mother, it is a little more emotional to nurse sick children or watch them die. During my time on paeds the major cause for admission has been malaria, sometimes complicated by severe anaemia and seizures, malnutrition with associated TB, HIV or neglect. The paediatric ward here admits children up to 5½ years, unlike UK where they take children up to 16. The cots are colour coded; red for seriously ill, yellow if moderately ill and white if near to discharge. Parents and attendants stay with their children and sleep on a mat beside their cot. During busy seasons (like now!) the parents are needed not just to comfort and care for their children, but also to report changes to the nursing staff.Staff roles are very different here; for example nursing assistants insert cannulae, take blood and give intravenous drugs. Nurses carry out many duties that until recently in the UK, doctors were carrying out. The staff are friendly, and enjoy their work. As with any place there are a few staff who simply shine in their work ethic and standard of care. The first week I worked with some of the students that I have been teaching - very interesting to see them in the practical setting; some who are quiet in class look to be excellent in the ward setting, and of course there is the odd one that needs a fire lit under them to get them going!! One of the biggest shocks has been the attention given to sundries used – like sterile gloves, syringes, cannulae, the giving set for intravenous fluids and intravenous fluids – the list goes on. Each item is individually priced and when used must be recorded so that on discharge they can be charged appropriately. While patient fees are subsidised considerably here, it is still not easy for many families to pay the bill. As nurses we must try to limit the sundries used to help keep costs down. In comparison when I think of how much is wasted in the UK it is crazy. I am happy to say that my training is serving me well. In fact it is amazing how ingrained various nursing principles are. Admittedly I have still a lot to learn about various tropical diseases, but still there are many conditions that are common to the UK and Uganda alike, e.g. pneumonia or bronchiolitis, so in some ways I am very much at home. It has been amusing to see staff and students react to my sudden appearance in a white uniform. ‘You are smart’ is the common comment. My prayer is that I am a ‘smart’ nurse in relation to my practice. Keep praying please! Next week I hope to go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit – I will keep you up-to-date with my progress! Well congratulate me - I am now a registered nurse and registered paediatric nurse in Uganda!! I took my forms to the Uganda NMC and they looked at them, I paid my fee and I am registered. I pick up my certificate in two months but meantime I am registered and can practise. Hallelujah all round!’ Denise Wilson The Parishioner Page 7

The Shredder

A young engineer was leaving the office at 5.45pm when he found the CEO standing in front of the shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. “Listen” said the CEO, “This is a very sensitive and important document and my secretary is not here. Can you get this machine to work?” “Certainly” said the young engineer. He turned on the machine, inserted the paper and pressed the start button. “Excellent, excellent” said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. “I only need one copy”.

Lesson: Never, ever, ever assume that your boss knows what he is doing. The Parishioner Page 9 THINGS I LOVE unting! Don’t panic. I haven’t developed a liking for blood sports. HI’m talking about “Collecting”! A love of all things antique or collectable has been with me since early teens, (I even married one!). The interest really took off when I discovered Antiques Fairs and Car Boot Sales in the early ‘70’s. Arriving at one or other created an air of excitement and anticipation of what hidden treasure I might discover, especially at the giant fairs on the mainland --- my occasional treat. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, “you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a Prince!!” As I grew older I became a “wannabe” dealer but it was only after I retired from teaching that I finally took the up the challenge and exhibited at Fairs around the Province. I looked upon it as a “self financing“ hobby rather than a serious business and continued for 12 years, until the physical effort involved became too much for someone of advancing years! As you can imagine, my house will never follow the minimalist trend but it is filled with, to me, memories of finds and favourites, to others “clutter!” As a dealer, my main interests became glass and linens. My personal collections ranged from table silver to cats and jugs, with many others in between, but together they have given me many years of fun.

Summer Jumpin’ this year took place from 15th – 20th August. It promised to be an exciting and fun–packed week right from the start with a team of 35 eager and enthusiastic leaders coming together to serve the children who would be coming through the doors, and to serve one another. Many of the leaders had been involved at Easter Jumpin’ and were keen to create again a safe, fun and positive environment for all the kids. The Sunday just before we started was an encouraging day where the team met in the morning and spent the day together making final preparations, focusing in on the week ahead and on their role as leaders. Following an afternoon of intense build-up, the team headed out for a McDonald’s dinner and some Ten Pin Bowling Action. Andrew Stephens, now a Jumpin’ veteran, attained the winning score on the bowling alley and continues to deny rumours of being a Thursday night league bowler. A sense of community was quickly established amongst the team and created a great atmosphere in which the following weeks service was carried out. Our theme this year was ‘Mission: Rescue’ which told the story of Moses and how God used this man to save God’s people. We learned how this points towards the most amazing rescue mission ever carried out, that of God sending his own son Jesus to rescue us. In keeping with the mission theme, all the leaders took on new identities as spies and were not in fact leaders, but rather agents! The children came to us at the start of the week as spies-in-training, however by the end of the five days they had certainly proved themselves to be worthy agents. As I’m sure you can imagine, much fun was had with this year’s theme, from transforming the halls into a secret spy location, to the ‘spy ring’ small groups the kids became a part of, and stealth games which every new spy would enjoy. To the untrained eye, the foyer was simply a library, but any Jumpin’ spy in training would know that just through a set of doors would be a host of leading agents who cared about them immensely and wanted to ensure they had the most fun possible. We are grateful to all the leaders who helped throughout the week, as well as all those who volunteered to provide us with food and snacks in the evenings. This message will self destruct in – 5…4…3…2…1… Andrew Hamilton The Parishioner Page 11 The Quiet Corner Secret Glimpse of Nature fter driving 180 miles northwards on our way home from holiday, we Aarrived at one of our favourite caravan sites in the tiny village of Vouille in France. It had been a tedious and longer than usual journey and the hot sun didn’t help as we set up camp beside a narrow, gently flowing river and under the shade of some tall poplar trees. However, after a light meal and feeling quite weary, we retired to our ‘loungers’ in a temperature of 30’C and rested beside the river, in the most idyllic setting imaginable. The air was still and warm and soothing and our background music was the cooing of woodpigeons and the singing of blackbirds. Suddenly, sitting quietly and almost hidden in the grasses on the river bank, we noticed a mallard duck and we realised her stillness could mean only one thing – she was literally sitting on eggs! We watched in awe as she patiently and carefully turned her eggs from time to time. Occasionally, she stretched her wings and groomed herself, always returning to her feather- camouflaged clutch. A couple of male mallards came at various intervals to the opposite bank of the river where they groomed and preened themselves – for the benefit of the watching female, it seemed, who stayed motionless on her nest. As the dappled sunlight played on a patch of water lilies, dragonflies flitted to and fro’ ceaselessly flashing their electric blue bodies. A commotion occurred in the trees across the river from us and three cheeky red squirrels jumped and leapt from branch to branch chasing each other up and down the tree trunks like they’d just been let out of school! A ‘plop’ in the water caught our attention and just below the ‘acrobats’, an otter emerged – we were mesmerised – we’d never been so close to either red squirrels or otters before. We felt as though we were having a private showing of nature at her most wonderful and who but our Divine Creator could have conceived such a wealth of beauty. Our tiredness seemed to evaporate and that night our dreams were sweet. Margaret Parr
