Submitted by Sandi Wilcox The School Advisory Council met this month in the Secondary School Library. Once again the dog problem was raised. The situation has not improved. There are many dogs fre- quenting the Snowridge school grounds. A dog fight endangered the safety of the children and dogs deficating on the front porch create a health hazard. Unfortunately, a new policy will have to be enforced with regard to the presence of dogs on the school grounds. The owners will be given a warning and if the dog is again found at the school, the R.C.M.P. will destroy the dog. So please,. - keep your pets tied up so that this policy will not have to be enforced! : The cold weather policy at Snowridge School was again addressed. The S.A.C, requested that the children be allowed in the school five minutes early at 8:45 a.m. and that the “in” temperature be changed from -30 to -25 Celcius.

The Cassiar Lions Club isn’t questioning the integrity of our new bank manager, Ken Buchanan, but the lack of interest shown by the children in Cassiar. The Lions Club has tried to continue its basketball and soccer leagues this year, however, only three children signed up for soccer and ten for basketball. The Lions are hoping interest in their softball and tee-ball leagues will be much great- er. The Lions Club is spending $1,000 this year on its softball and tee-ball programs. Gary Statton once again is organizing a car wash. Children who have signed up to play will wash cars to raise money to help pay for shirts, caps and equipment. Boys and girls who are beteween five and eight years old as of May 1, 1989 are invited to participate in the tee-ball league. Five year old children must be in kindergarten. Boys and girls who are between the ages of nine and fourteen as of May 1, 1989 are invited to participate in the softball league. Lions Sports stresses sportsmanship, — partici- pation, skill development and having fun. We want children to have fun playing ball and to minimize the pressure put on children to perform. A study done in 1976 showed that the heart rate of some children bat- ting in Little League games was as high as 204 beats a minute. The increased heart rate was from stress not physical activity. Registration will take place in late April or early May. All players and their parents will be required to attend a meeting before the season starts. Children will not be permitted to play in the softball league unless they and their parents attend the pre-season meeting. At the meeting parents and players will be familiarized with league rules and expected behaviour. Poor sports- manship or disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated. The season will end on Saturday, June 24 with a softball and tee-ball tournament. Each team will play one game and all players are invited to award ceremon- ies at the Rec Centre following the tournament. We will try to start the season right after the long weekend The Lions Club would like to thank all those people who volunteered their time to make the league such a success in the past. Special thanks to Andre McCutcheon, Chuck Malloy, Bill Deline, Dave Liddle and Keith Lanphear, all of whom have helped in each of the leageue’s six seasons. If you are interested in helping with teeball or softfball, please contact Pat Waldera at 778-7890.
