New Zealand trip
Brent and Jean Caslick took their
sons Greg and Danny to visit New
Zealand last month. They left To-
ronto February 15 when southwest-
ern Ontario was cold and stormy
and covered by large snowbanks.
Twenty-four hours later, when
ent's sister met them at Christ-
urch, New Zealand, they stepped
into summer. Brent's sister lives at
Ashburton on the Canterbury Plains
of the South Island, where the ter-
rain looks very much like south-
western Ontario.
Danny and Greg enjoyed meeting
their cousins and playing baseball.
They attended school for a few
days, and want to write letters to
their cousins and new friends in
New Zealand.
The Caslicks also travelled
throughout the South Island. Fur-
ther south of Ashburton, at Dune-
din, they visited a nesting colony of
Royal Blue Albatross, a protected
species. Yellow -eyed penguin, the
rarest penguins, are another protect-
ed species. Near the albatross colo-
ny, a farm has been created to en-
courage these shy penguins to nest
and there were about eight to 12
pair.
The Caslicks drove through
(rrlpuntains and lush, tropical terrain
with palms and ferns. They hiked
over glaciers, visited a seal colony,
and while fishing with their cousins
at Remarkable Lakes, caught a bar-
racuda.. In one, ,area they counted
240,curves in thp.road ,during a,45
minute drive.
During their return to Centralia,
they spent a week in Waikiki, Hon-
olulu, and experienced the Polyne-
sian culture. On an unusually
windy and rainy day in Waikiki,
they took an underwater trip in a
semi -submersible submarine and
were amazed by the beautiful ma-
rine life.
The Caslick family returned
home on May 24.

Jane Farris appears regularly in the television
media and has recently written a book, Finding the
Balance: Having it An which is a guide to juggling
career, family and personal initiatives.
Jane has a particular interest in coaching women to
embrace their unique talents, skill, and power. In
this capacity she is often asked to speak on women
and self esteem, and workplace wellness.
Conference Notes:
Balance is the buzz work of the 1990s. There has
never been a time when so many people have had
so many obligations and challenges and seemingly
so little time and so little energy to meet them.
Men and women alike are constantly being asked
to better their best. The many demands placed
upon women, however, make it especially
challenging to strike the balance between career,
family and personal time.
