Hospice staffer leaves for work in Kenya - Directing her last Spinoza
Laurinburg Exchange, The (NC) - May 25, 2007B
Author/Byline: DOT COBLE; LIFE TIMES EDITOR Section: NewsPage: B002
Julie Strzok-Harris has been directing Hospice of Scotland County’s Camp Spinoza for grieving children for the past four years, since joining the staff as bereavement coordinator and counselor.
Come June 9-10, she will direct her final weekend camp at Camp Monroe, a favorite and most meaningful responsibility of her Hospice experience.
Strzok-Harris has always had a desire to be a missionary in Africa, “since way back in 1961,” she said. “It’s a calling that I felt way back in my junior-senior year of high school when I became a nun. It’s calling me again,” she said with a smile. With that tugging at her heart strings, she is retiring from Hospice following Camp Spinoza,
“Now I have a brother who is a jesuit priest who lives in Nairobi, Kenya (the capital of Kenya),’ she pointed out. “He has been living there for 13 years. He’s settled and he has all sorts of possible ideas of work for me.”
Strzok-Harris expects to be in Kenya for at least three years, possibly teaching English, working in an orphanage or at a spirituality center. “I won’t know until I get there,” she said. Strzok-Harris is both excited and scared about her decision to live in Africa.

Generating hysteria won’t aid interests of larger global community

I somehow think Jahn missed that most important point. So let’s go beyond him and look at Iran’s nuclear plans, stability in the Middle East and the price of energy. Add the high probability of continuing non-combatant attacks by terrorists,”and how the energy-clients of Middle East oil go about “controlling the bad guys (expensive but necessary deterrence). This includes massive information sharing by everyone being threatened, i.e., most of the established governments of the world. I believe most people of the world accept the value of common defense against the crazies. Iran supports the crazies. Europe, Japan, USA and its other allies agree on that. It is not new, it started with the advent of the Khomeini regime in 1979 and continues.
Now look at the play of Russia and President Putin. Russia got a monopoly on Iran’s gas starting in the 1970s. It takes Iranian gas and sells it to Europeans and others for a handsome premium. It wants more and it looks like Iran will sell more to”Russia.”Putin clearly knows how to develop, strengthen and control monopolistic practices in the world marketplace. The current culture in Russia is to give him more power. That should scare the bejabbers out of the Europeans and they’seem to be running scared.”A few notable exceptions, i.e., President of France Sarkozy and his enigmatic, capable Foreign Minister Kouchner and”Poland, Georgia and Ukraine. Kouchner, remember, while in Moscow, declared that”possession of nuclear weapons by Iran could be considered a “causis belli.” This is stronger than”anything out of USA. Mr. Jahn should have included that in his analysis.
Last night’s news”included reports of ’the new U.S. intelligence estimate that Iran apparently has suspended its uranium enrichment process that would yield weapon grade uranium “isotopes. Apparently, too, its applied research, well-advanced, for nuclear power plants continues with several external partners doing technology transfer and construction in Iran — read Japan, China, Pakistan, Russia, Germany, “et al.
This new intelligence estimate should allow the world to take a deep breath, settle down”and continue the process of reconciling the diverse needs, goals and”interests of these many important members of the world community. Thus, a”nod to Secretary Rice and Secretary Gates for their balanced statements on the Iran nuclear issue inclusive to the whole Middle East and efforts to get other players into the mix. Stay multi-lateral, resist bi-lateral. An aside — when are the EU people going to step up to the plate?
