eee Page 12 July 1985 Cassiar Courier THANK YOU very feast must come to an end. During my five year stay in Cassiar, | have come to know some great people some not-so-great people, but most of all, myself. It has certainly been my most interesting five years. I'd like to thank Mr. Gary Periard and the Cassiar Com- munity Club for this invaluable and unforgettable ex- perience. I'd also like to thank the many people who have lent a helping hand along the way. A friend of . mine in the South once commented to me that he would never leave the big city in the South for the re- mote north. | said to him,’’ | know what | miss from the south, but do you know what you miss in the north?” | KNOW what | will be missing in the north.

Community Club Administrator Gary Periard told the group the C.C.C. is considering buying a Flasher Board to help advertise local events. The board under consider- ation is four feet by eight feet with six inch high letters. The proposed location would be on Connell Drive by the Cookery. Total cost:of the Flasher Board is approximately $2,500-$3,000 depending on freight costs and the Comm- unity Club would be looking for donations from the affil- iated clubs to help pay for the board. Mr. Periard pointed out the requirement that all members of the affiliated clubs must also be members of the C.C.C. If a person wishes to join an affiliated club and not join the C.C.C. then they will be charged double the fees for the club. Mr. Periard said that it costs about one half million dollars per year to operate the C.C.C. Membership money totals only about $60,000 and the company provides about $220,000. Some money is generated through ice rental, swimming lessons, etc., however, the club still runs at a deficit (approximately $220,000 this year). The Community Club wants the new membership list of each affiliated club and two updated lists through- out the year. The C.C.C. has also requested quarterly financial statements from every affiliated club. Mr. Periard said the statements provide him with some insight into how the clubs are operating and also helps him with the budgetting The Cassiar Community Club will be holding an awards dinner and dance in September. Awards will be presented to the “Athlete of the Year’’ (in four categories) and the ‘Volunteer of the Year’’ (also in four categories). Clubs are asked to submit nominations to the C.C.C. and the executive will decide on the winners. Mr. Periard also requested that the clubs submit the names of their 1985/86 executives to him as soon as possible.

GRADE SEVEN MINE TOUR Recently the Grade 7 class at Snowridge School was given a conducted tour of Brinco’s Cassiar Mine. For a couple of weeks prior to the excursion, the class had part- icipated in quite a detailed study of the operation. During the study, all students exhibited a great deal of interest in the operation, though their knowledge of specifics such as how the ore is extracted, the equipment in use, the pro- cessing operation, the transportation stage, and the uses for the product was limited. The tour created a lot of in- terest as, not only did it allow students to see the mining stage of the operation first-hand, but it also familiarized that 80% of the group who had not been there before, with the site where many of their parents and acquaint- ances worked. iP&W Services, Summer Hours Mon.-Sat.

Students exhibited a mixture of trepidation and awe as the bus negotiated the switchback section of the road. A stop was made at one corner to allow those who could hold a camera steady, to take pictures. From there we were given a view of the pit and then given a close up view of a shovel and a drill. Students were diligent in a way that would have done the ravens proud in picking over the waste to find the perfect ore sample. Many questions were asked, most of which related to the size cost of the oper- ation. Gala Festive Fashions Bob & Eileen Kester Fashion Plus, Smithers, B.C.

Prior to the tour an extensive quiz was given on. the operation. The five students who exhibited the best knowledge on this test were awarded prizes by Brinco, Those students were Kamal Athwal, Janice Joseph, War- wick Elhorn, Ellen Artico and Corry Larcombe. The class would like to thank Mr. Paul Clark for fos- tering the tour, Mr. Gerry Cooper for being an excellent tour guide, Bob Greenway for organizing the tour and Mr. Alex Joseph, the driver.
