HOWLS
FROM
THE HILL

This winter will probably go on record as one of
the windiest up on the hill. The wind started blowing
hard just before Christmas and didn't stop until after
the New Year. The following pictures give some idea of
the ferocity of these winds.

When the winds did finally stop, we had a week of
very cold weather. For the last week or so, the weather
has been mild and somewhat settled, so hopefully we'll
be able to continue on to full production without too
much weather interference.

The Mine Curling Team has recaptured the "A" Event
in the Interdepartmental Bonspiel. Danny Demitri - Skip,
Ray Erickson - Third, John Forbes - Second and Peter
Voss - Lead were the star players. The other mine team
skipped by Brian Pewsey, Rick Forbes. - Third, Paul Clark
- Second and Danny Lagarusic - Lead were knocked out by
the Demitri Rink. Brian Pewsey and Ray Erickson, the
two newest members to the Mine Dept. both proved to be
capable curlers. :

Overheard by a member of the Mill Staff after they
were beaten by a Mine Team, "You guys are always looking
down on us."

While we are enduring the throws of winter in
Cassiar, Cesar and Mary-Ann Isidoro will be enjoying
their free three week trip in sunny Aculpolco. Mary-Ann
had the lucky ticket in the Arena Association Draw last
December.

The Mine is anxiously anticipating the arrival of a
new D-8 Cat. This tractor will be equipped with a newly
designed D-9 blade and C-frame. The tractor should
arrive in Cassiar in late January.

The Mine Hough 100 front end loader has had the
bucket removed and was fitted with a blade. This
"wheeled dozer'' has been very successful in snow removal ,
road cleaning and shovel cleanup.
