10th Annual Robert Service Birthday Commemoration Postponed until November 2004 Period costume or costumes from poems optional, but encouraged. Tickets are $30 per person and are available at Westmark Whitehorse, (867) 668-4700. Special: 2 tickets and room for $99 Come and celebrate the bard's 130th birthday in the town where he wrote some of his best-known poems. For more information, contact Doug Bell There wasn't a fus when this fellow came to town. There sure was when he left. He loved life, language, words, and space. In Whitehorse 1904, he became known as "the solitary walker." Nothing pleased him more than losing himself in the "great wild silence" which he was to describe as "the final word in desolation" with an "end-of-the-world feeling." One of his biographers said "all his life, Robert Service was afflicted by a restlessness and a wanderlust that was to take him to the ends of the earth." He stepped on Canadian soil in April 1896 prophetically perhaps, in the year gold was found in the Klondike. He had $15 in his pocket and visions of becoming a cowboy. He roamed the land at will for eight years, ending up broke in Vancouver. His earlier banking experience saved him... the Bank of Commerce in Victoria hired him. Within a year they transferred him. He loved Whitehorse in 1904. He often entertained at church and other social events, reciting classic poetry. A friend encouraged him to write his own. He loved the idea.

When he was twenty-one, Service quit his bank job in Glasgow and emigrated to Canada; his three winters in White Horse were the "incubation of all worth while in my life" daily snowshoes into "the Great White Silence" breathing "below-zero air as bracing as champagne" and composing millionaire-making poems.

Biographies of the featured poets Li Po (Japanese Rihaku) (701-762) Chinese poet, one of the greatest figures of Chinese literature. Li Po (or Li Bai) was born into the minor nobility in what is now Sichuan (Szechwan) Province. After an apprenticeship with a Daoist hermit and a time of wandering, he lived briefly as a poet at the Tang dynasty court in Changan but left as the result of intrigue. Then he returned to a life of Daoist study and carefree reflective wandering, writing poems and enjoying nature and the pleasures of wine, supplied free by the emperor's orders. According to legend, Li Po was drowned while drunkenly leaning from a boat to embrace the Moon's reflection on the water. Poem: "Lament of the Frontier Guard" John Donne (1572 -1631) A noted english poet and essayist, Donne sailed with the Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh in the naval expeditions against Cadiz in August 1596, where the inspiration for his poem "The Burnt Ship" occurred. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) During the Civil War Whitman ministered to wounded soldiers in Union army hospitals in Washington, D.C. He remained there, working as a government clerk, until 1873, when he suffered a stroke that left him partially paralysed. Poem: "Come up from the fields, Father"

In all he spent eight years in the Yukon and travelled widely. During his last years with the bank he wrote verse describing life in the North. THE CREMATION OF SAM MCGEE There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold The Arctic trails have their secret tales That make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen strange sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee. Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows. Why he left his home in the south to roam round the Pole God only knows. He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell; Through he'd often say in his homely way that he'd "sooner live in hell."

Made such by the conditions over which they have no control. I wish that every woman on a farm could get away to someplace where she could see new sights and hear new sounds and think new thoughts. It would be the making of her. Monotony and loneliness, more than work, are on the mind." Myrtle Ward: "They had to really really become ingenious people. They had to manage on so little. Their husbands, no matter were good providers, but some weren't and many of these women suffered the lack of supplies and so on. But I think the worst of all was to be cut off from other women for months and years at a time. The men had a chance to go to town and pick up supplies and then hob nob with the men of the area, get caught up on politics and so on. But most of the women were bringing up children. They couldn't leave. They were definitely isolated. It was really cruel." Neva Myrick: "Did I ever work? That's a question that I don't suppose I thought of it at the time. But my duties were homemaking, gardening, feeding multitudes of men cause we had to have them in the fall, early fall and through harvest time. I also helped with feeding the cattle and doing the numerous things that farm women were supposed to do."
