But his first years in Cassiar were not to be quiet ones. In September the Provincial for the Oblates of northern B.C. and the Yukon became ill and soon died. Father Pauwels was selected to take over the job. There were about 18 Oblate missionaries in the district. In addition to his duties in Cassiar, Father Pauwels was responsible for the personal well being of the missionaries. As Provincial he had to make sure the missionaries were following the aims of their order and he was also the area’s liaison with Rome. He served as Provincial until June, 1983. After his years as Provincial Father Pauwels had more time to spend with his parishioners in Cassiar. The congre- ation grew and he is now leaving what he considers to be a strong core of church-goers with a good number of child- ren growing up in the Church. Father Pauwels will be going to Belgium this summer for a family reunion and will arrive at his new parish in August. Best Wishes and Good Luck to Father at his new home. . Our Lady of Lourdes Mission will be welcoming their new priest, Father Ivan McCormack, in August or Septem- ber. Father McCormack is from Whitehorse and is filling in at Dawson City for the summer.

Atlin Trustee Michael Strange presented a list of questions from the Atlin District Board of Trade relat- ing to the tax increase in School District No. 87. On a related matter, in an interview two weeks after the school board meeting, Supt. Keith Lanphear said Dr. Barry Anderson, Executive Director Schools Management, from the Ministry of Education, visited the district June 11, 12, and 13th. Lanphear said Ander- son seemed impressed with our distances and some of our unique problems but he didn’t offer any suggestions or solutions. Anderson was asked to come up and look around the district after the board office announced a 40% school tax hike for next year. _ In other business from the meeting the Stikine School Board approved the implementation of the C.A.R.E. program on child sexual abuse for those district schools that are interested in presenting the program. The C.A.R.E. program has already been offered in Dease Lake, and Atlin has shown a keen interest in presenting the program. In Cassiar implementation of the program is still under discussion. The Board also accepted an engineering report on the condition of Cassiar Secondary School. Trustee Dave Pewsey said that the building is so old that the structure is deteriorating. Funds have been requested from the Ministry of Education so that areas of critical concern, especially those relating to safety, can have immediate attention. Supt. Keith Lanphear said approximately $700,000 is required for the structural improvements. The next meeting of the Stikine School Board will be held in Cassiar on June 26th and 27th.
