Dear rn,
Jan has gathered every last detail about how to get to Bear River and has
presented it to us below for easy reference. * Please save this message *
I believe the care and effort Jan put into this message typifies her hard
work, thoroughness, and dedication, and tells us something about how
smoothly things will go in Bear River `on the night', as they say in the
theater trade.
Just a note of appreciation,
rkm
btw> I know you are all busy, those of you planning to participate in the
workshop, but it is time to take a few moments, send us in your
accomodation requirements, arrange for wiring your deposit, and tell us
what you'd like to talk about when it's your turn to participate on a
panel.
Don't panic about having the `spotlight' on you... the environment will be
a supportive one; we're just asking you to tell us what your `walk on part
in the war'* is about, and you _know how you'll want to hear that from
everyone else.
* "Did you trade your walk-on part in the war,
for a leading role in a cage?"
If you are somewhere where wiring is risky -- I've heard tales of funds
lost, never to be found, in the labyrinth of the Indian banking system, for
example -- then just send some kind of international money order to:

Bear River is a small town and does not have an airport. There are several
ways to get there, so here is some information to help you decide which
might be best for you:
If you fly to Halifax, you will need to take the bus to Digby and let us
know when you are arriving so we can meet you at the bus stop.
(*Note: Another consideration if flying to Halifax: You will need to get to
Halifax from the airport, a trip of about 30 min. by taxi or bus.)
Buses leave Halifax for Digby every day at 6:30 PM and arrive in Digby at
10:35PM.
Price: $31.05 + tax.
Bus: Acadian Lines 1-800-567-5151, Halifax #:454-9321, Digby (Irving gas
station): 245-2048
Note: The bus line is owned by Irving company and several groups are
boycotting this corporation because of its anti-union stance, its refusal to
pay a govt. bill for the clean-up of a sunken tanker and its stance in the
conflict with a Carmelite monastery.)
It would porably cost more to fly to St. John, New Brunswick than to
Halifax, but St. John is a 3 hr. ferry ride away from Digby (not the 4 hr.
bus trip).
The ferry leaves St. John every day at 9AM, 4:45PM and 12:45AM (this sailing
not on Sunday).
Fare: adult: $24.50 1-way + tax.
car: $50 + tax
Reservations are essential. If you use this #, there will be a $5 charge for
the reservation: 1-888-249-7245.
You can call the St. John office at 1 (506) 649-7777 to reserve as well. If
you use this number, you MUST be at the ferry terminal 1 hr. before sailing
time.
For reservations made with the 1-888 #, you SHOULD be at the ferry terminal
1 hr. early, but the reservation will be respected if you are late.
(The ferry leaves Digby every day at 5AM (this sailing not on sunday), 1PM
and 8:45PM.)
There is also a ferry from Bar Harbour Maine to Yarmouth. From Yarmouth to
Bear River is about a 1&1/2 hr. car trip.
That ferry travels at 90 km/hr so it now only takes 2&1/2 hrs!
It leaves Bar Harbour at 8AM & 3:30PM.
Fare: Adult: $45 US + $3 departure tax
car: $55 US
For both the St. John - Digby ferry and the Bar Harbour - Yarmouth ferry you
call Bay ferries at 1-888-249-7245.
If that # does not work for where you are calling from, try the St. John #
(506) 649-7777 or the Yarmouth # (902) 742-6800.
