Page 4 October 1984 Cassiar Courier areital Appenings With our present weather conditions, two to three ‘minutes of: immersion -in cold water could easily be fatal. For example, if your canoe should tip in the middle of the small bay at Simmons Lake campground, it is highly unlikely that you would make it back to slrore, even with a life jacket. Certainly a small child would not. Life jackets just make it easier for the police to find the bodies. Floater jackets or wet suits are a must if you go boating this time of the year. It seemed as of September |, summer was over and winter was on its way. Many people in the area are still Out camping and boating, trying to make the best of a short summer season. Hypothermia, however, is a real risk this time of year. Last year the hospital treated several cases of hypothermia, caused by immersion in cold water. There are still many misconceptions among the public regarding first aid treatment of hypo- thermia. One misconception is that a good stiff shot of booze will fix you right up. Alcohol should never be given to hypothermia victims. Alcohol will always worsen hypothermia. Never rub the arms and legs, or treat hypo- thermia victims roughly. The heart becomes extremely irritable when cold and jostling of the victim could cause cardiac arrest. Shivering is a good sign, not a bad sign. People who are obviously cold and wet but not shivering are in real danger. The cold has knocked out the body’s natural mechanism for producing heat. When you-shiver, the contraction of the muscles generates heat and warms the body. Whenever we see hypothermic patients, we know we can relax once shivering starts. Many people are probably aware of the many cases of people who have been revived after sometimes hours of being clinically dead. This is especially true of hypothermia victims as the cold body temperature protects the vital organs from irreversible damage. These people were saved by people who were able to perform C.P.R., Cardio Pulmonary Resucitation. The hospital now has a training manikin for teaching C.P.R. and hopefully, we will be able to get a program started in the near future to teach this life saving procedure here in Cassiar.

Lions Club by Dave Brocklebank First off this month — some news I forgot to men- tion last month. Congratulations to the winner of the Cassiar Lions Club bursary — Tracey Sethen who is already enrolled at the University of Victoria. Good Luck! This brings to mind the college graduate who was asked which books helped her most. She thought for a moment, then replied “my Mom’s cookbook and my Dad’s chequebook”’. The Lions would like to thank the graduating class of °84 for the very clean condition they left the Lions Campground in after their Grad party. Thanks!!! A reminder to everyone that October Ist to 13th is our annual drive for the CNIB. This is a most worth- while cause and the Lions and Lionesses are the only of- ficial canvassers for this area. After a lapse of one year, we are again going to host an Annual Oktoberfest. This will be held on November *3 at the Rec Centre and will feature “The Alpine Rhythm Kings”. This group is presently from Kelowna, but were very well-known back in Ontario. before heading west. They have appeared on T.V. in Toronto, have made records and played all over Ontario, New York State, Washington and B.C. We have recently made welcome our newest mem- ber — Jim Hearty, who has already proven an asset to the Club, through his work at the playground and Sim- mons Lake. Ne SS Hours of fun at the new ‘Lions Playground! On the subject of the playground — Phase 2 was a great success, with lots of volunteers. The fence has been completed, two more large pieces of equipment installed and a free barbecue for the kids. A great big thanks to all the people who came out to help us. Now, a great big boo to those that have tried to wreck the playground. And an even bigger boo to the parents of those kids. | know some people in town are going to say I’m picking on the kids again, but I feel when a few try to ruin what others are enjoying, they deserve more than my picking on them. They stole the flag and ripped down the flagpole. They physically lifted a concreted-in section of a slide. There was a large section of concrete poured and marked off in squares, and 72 youngsters left their handprints and initials. Later that evening some brainless twits de- cided it would be nice to ride their bikes all over it. Someone else took wrenches and loosened up the tee- ter totters so that they would collapse when people rode on them. : You tell me if they deserve criticism!!!! As a closing thought and also to the regular play- ground users — on Halloween Eve — why not drop by the playground for a “treat”? YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL BE THERE!!! The Lions bar-b-que featured free hotdogs and sunny skies LIONESS NEWS by Pam Krawezyk As most of you may know, the Lioness hold an Annual Bazaar each year in November. The profit from this Bazaar goes into a special account and is used to support a Foster Child. For those wonderful Cassiarites who have been so generous with donations and time in the past to help us with this project, here is a progress report from the case worker in Indonesia. This is what it’s all about: Dear Foster Parents, We’re pleased and proud to present you a Progress Report on your Foster Child and family to your con- venience concerning the development they have made so far. Your continuous aid and Plan’s service have greatly supported them to enjoy a better life. In short, a life betterment has come to them owing to your invaluable assistance. RUMINI is 10 years and 9 months old now and she was promoted to the 4th Grade of Primary School in July last year. She is good at physics but is poor at math- ematics. She usually helps parents cut the grass for the cattle meal, looks for firewood-and she is keen on cricket in her spare time. She is alive and kicking at the present — moment. RUMINI has 4 sisters and 3 brothers. DAWIYEM, a sister of 30, is married and independent and so is RODIYEM, a sister of 27. DAURI, a brother of 23,., teaches primary school in Klaten, a small town in Central — Java. BARI YAH, a brother of 20, was promoted to the 2nd year of Junior High School. She lives with her aunt in Jakarta. RUJINAH, a sister of 18, was promoted to the third year of Junior High School. BADAWI, a brother of 15, was promoted to the 6th Grade of Primary School. DALWANTO, a brother of 13, was promoted to the 5th grade of Primary School. DAWIYEM and RODIYEM had gone to live with their husbands, DAURI and BARIYAH had gone to Jakarta, RUJINAH and BADAWI had gone to school — when the enclosed photograph was taken so they are not represented herein. Her parents are poor peasants and their narrow land brings them in $17.17 a month. Father is a carpenter by profession earning $5.05 @ month. Wholly their monthly income is $22.22 (US $1.00 = Rp990,-). The old house they live in consists of 3 construc- tions. They have removed the newly built house next to their old ones. The old rafters were replaced with the new ones and so were the leaky rooftiles. Two new doors were also added to the house. Eating more nutritious food has brought them good health at the moment. If anyone of them gets sick they will take him or her to the local Community Health Service right away and the medical expense will be partly paid by Plan. No doubt your worthy assistance has been very useful for improving their living condition, relieving the life burden and upholding the realization of their pro- gramme. : : In the end they thank you so much for your kindness and generosity of granting them your most highly apprec- jated assistance. Their love to you and the family. Prepared by: Harningsih H. (MS.)/Case Worker KKKKK This year our Bazaar will be held on Nov. 24th. We look forward to your support.

The new mobility has had quite an effect on the parish after a few years of fairly steady membership. Roger Holmes is now back in Telegraph Creek with his wife Lynn. They were married in Edin- burgh July 21, and came from there to Telegraph on a honeymoon trip that took them to Rome, Bahrain, India, Hong Kong and Japan. On September 14, Holy Cross Day, in the Church of St. John the Baptist, Watson Lake, Bishop Ronald Ferris of the Diocese of Yukon, ordained Roger Holmes Deacon and the Rev. David Pritchard, Priest. The church was filled to capacity for the occasion, friends and clerical col- leagues from all across the Yukon Diocese joined with the community of Watson Lake to celebrate the occasion. The pastors of the other four churches in the Watson Lake-Lower Post area par- ticipated in the service. The Rev. Bill Morrison of Cassiar was the preacher. Following the service the ladies of the parish provided a fine reception in the church hall. Prior to their ordination, Roger Holmes and the Rev. David Pritchard attended a short retreat conducted by the Rev. Bill Morrison of Cassiar. Over the course of the summer the church ex- terior was painted: inside, the walls and beams Whitehorse Yellowknife Arrive ~ 4:55 p.m. were dusted, the floors stripped and rewaxed, and the carpets cleaned. Many thanks to Peter Cart- wright, Lothar Tischler and Normand Rivet for the many hours they spent painting, and to Durk McIntyre and his volunteer crew — Joe Boguski, John Marks, Carol Chatelaine, Bruce Burns and Lorne Matson — for giving so freely of their time and labour on the inside job. Thanks too, to Town Administration for its generosity with sup- plies. : Late in August, the Rev. Bill Morrison an- nounced to the congregation that he had accepted a call from the people of St. Peter’s Church, Quamichan, to be their rector, and would be leav- ing Cassiar in early October. Bishop Ferris met with the Vestry on September 15th to discuss ar- rangements for covering the vacancy until a new rector can be appointed. The interim plan is for Rev. David Kalles of Watson Lake to come in once a month to take a service of Holy Eucharist. The Sunday Services between will be conducted by the Lay Readers of the parish. Also the Administration and pastoral work will be looked after by Marian Craft who is a Licenced Lay Reader of the Diocese of Yukon. Bishop. Ferris, when he visited Cassiar the weekend of September 15th and 16th, had his family with him. After their first visit here in the summer of 1982, Cassiar became, for the six children, that magical place in the mountains where the chocolate milk flows in the taps. It no longer comes out of the tap in the cookery exact- ly, but they still had a good time here. At the ser- vice September 16th, Bishop Ferris was the preacher.
