“Paget. May 198P Cassiar Courier ~ nat = REFLECTIONS’ a from a ty odin B Mla Since my last article many readers have come to me asking for another article on the subject of weight loss. | don’t profess for one moment to be any sort of an authority on the subject. | can only tell you what has worked for me - so far. So here goes again! | hope these few words are of some help to you. Firstly a diet is not the answer. If one is overweight one must examine the whole person - one’s eating habits, buy- ing habits, drinking habits and most of all one’s mental attitude, From this day forward read all you can on the subject of nutrition. You will then realize that that’s where the prob- . lem lies. There will be no need for high calorie “junk foods” because now you will know how to serve a tasty nutritional snack, Your meals will be tasty and colourful as you begin to serve quantities of vegetables, meats and poultry - all cooked nutritionally and with pride since you will know ) the goodness you've given your family. Let me quote from an article called “Thinking Positively” by Winston Joseph, (a teacher in Port Alberni), He states “We have been too fragmented. We need to bring our- selves together.” —— “More and more | realize we must take more responsibil- “ity for our lives,” —— _ “This all may be idealistic and vague, but | am speaking ' to you, and | believe that you are a responsible person, hence you would be able to start working on your entire health.” . } Well put Mr Joseph - | couldn’t have said it better. Hospital Happenings On Wednesday, April 23, the hospital staff gathered to celebrate Martha Wallenborn’s |0th Anniversary as a hospital employee. Martha started working at the.hos- pital on April 17, 1970. She was presented with a jade ’ letter opener, a token of appreciation from the staff, for not only her length of service, but also for the extra help she has provided so many times during those years. She was crowned “Queen of the Black Forest’’ by Dr. Bob, and although it was very fitting, it was discovered to be another hint, Congratulations, Martha, and we hope you will be a part of the hospital staff for a long time to come! Glad to hear that Lil had a nice time in Vancouver on her well-deserved debushing,. Martha brought us greetings from Laurie and Joe Fitz- simmons after her trip to Logan Lake, following a few days in Vancouver, Our condolences go out to Lucy Taylor, whose mother passed away suddenly. Many thanks to Sharon Bierman and Marie Drzimotta, who filled in for Lucy. A warm welcome is extended to Katie and Paul Sevier, who arrived back in Cassiar, Thanks Most of all 1 would like to thank Dr. Trollen and the nursing staff for being so nice and kind, Father Pauwel for his visit and Blessing, the Lioness Club and €.C. Club for a beautiful gift, the girls who held a baby shower, Auntie Ann who also held a baby shower, all the ladies for their beautiful gifts and cards and the girls and ladies at the snack bar for a beautiful gift. Yvonne Inkster ‘way up CASSIAR Bits & Pieces Carl Lefebvre will be greatly missed by his mor- ning exercise classes. However, they insist they will keep up the good work. Carol Whiteside was in from Vancouver visiting her family and Janet and Ken Bailey from Cotinty Durham, England, were in Cassiar visiting Janet’s parents, Ken and Joan Smith. Linda and Charlie are back from their jaunt down South, We hear Bill is taking all the credit these days for his new baby girl. Rumor has it that Jaime will be co-piloting with her dad in no time. Patty was the guest of honor at a baby shower given for Jaime at the home of Phyllis Hardy. Un- fortunately, Jaime had a date with her daddy and couldn’t be there. Congratulations to the Fox’s — you finally did it! We hear that Noreen McGowan is going to Dawson City to be a “bum” — but under the guise of a gold miner! Hats off to the employees of the Royal Bank for their participation during Schmoo Daze. The Bank, as always, really got into thé spirit of things Condolences to Bill and Cecile Pratt. Bill’s father passed away recently in Fairview, Alberta. Dave Acason stopped in town for awhile on his to Clinton Creek for another summer. Fellow employees and friends gathered together on Wednesday evening in the Upper Leisure Room of the Recreation Centre, to say “farewell” to Carl, our Recreation Co-ordinator. Various tokens were presented to Carl on behalf of the community, to show their appreciation for his work with the Cassiar Community Club. A spaghetti dinner and refreshments were served during the evening and a grand time was had by all. We hear Sue and Stu Borden really enjoyed those “Hawaiian Nights”.

Funeral services were held on April 19 at Avalon Funeral Chapel, Surrey, B.C. Bill, Laura and Ken Akey were long time resid- ents of Northern B.C. They lived in Cassiar from 1966 to 1974 and prior to 1966 lived in Dease Lake. While in Cassiar Bill was a volunteer fire- man and was also active in the Lions Club.

Dean, Pres- ton Radford, Trina Radford, Lisa Joseph, Debbie Hardy, Mary Howard, Pamela King and Jacqueline Brand) said “Goodbye” to their instructress. Mary Isaaks, by holding a surprise gathering at her home on the afternoon of April 2, 1980. The team presented Mrs. Isaaks with four beaut- iful English Bone China coffee mugs, with a picture of sled dogs painted on the side. Also, there will be an 8x10 framed picture of the ski team sent to Mrs. Isaaks in the near future, The team wishes Mrs, Isaaks the best of luck in her new home and the parents and team wish to thank Mrs. Isaaks for a job very well done, ‘‘Thank you, Mary, we are all LIBRARY my NEWS: The Cassiar Library Board held a meeting on April 30, 1980, at which time Sue Borden and Joyce Beal were wel- comed as new members of the Board. Sue volunteered to take over the position as chair person from Carl Lefebvre, who is leaving Cassiar. After a lively discussion on library going to miss you”’, matters we attended Carl’s farewell party at the Rec Hall, - where we enjoyed a nice spaghetti dinner and drinks with Carl, his friends and co-workers. The Cassiar Library Board would like to thank Carl for his effort and input as chairperson of the Board and wish him good luck for the future, Due to higher cost of purchasing books the quota for new books this year is being cut, as the book grant from the Provincial Government did’ not increase. To assure more new reading material for every library the Library Service _Branch in Dawson Creek has started a rotating book ex- change, 3 times a year, so that we will have a variety of different books available throughout the year. The first exchange took place in January and these books have to’ be returned in May. It would be quite inconvenient not being able to return the exchange books on time to Daw- son Creek; our library would be charged for the cost of the missing books. Therefore, | would like to remind all borrowers who have still outstanding books to return them to the library. Please consider also, that every book taken out.of here and not being returned in three weeks deprives other people of reading the book, as we have only one copy of each. Your co-operation in this matter would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Pat and Bill Riddle, a daughter Jaime Patricia, on April 10, at the Misericordia Hospital, Edmonton. Jaime weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz. Joanne and Peter Voss, a son Stephen Peter, on April 10, at the Burnaby Hospital, Burnaby, 6 lbs. 12 oz. ‘Margaret and Don Fox, a daughter on May 3 in the Prince George Hospital, 8 lbs. Marie Ann Tashoots and Henry Black, a daughter Caroline Ingrid, at the Cassiar Private Hospital, on April 18, 6 lbs. 8 oz. sc Oh! Spring in the North...Like all of the seasons here, Spring brings a mixture of joy and exasperation! Joy g that the long winter is over. Exasperation when it con- tinues to snow even at the end of April! But, it must be Spring. Mud oozes over boots (will we ever wear shoes again?). Passing vehicles spray pedes- trians, first with slush, then with chocolate coloured wa- ter from bottomless puddles. The backs of pant legs are marked with long brown stripes where their wearers have leaned against the inside of truck doors. And have you noticed all the cars around town? They have come out of their winter hibernation and into the streets again. Another phenomenon we have here at Erickson is the beginning of the long string of visits by “fairweather’’ geologists, prospectors and consultants, They sport tans from winters in the sun — in Hawaii and Mexico, And they're smiling. Because mining is booming in B.C. Pros- pects are good. There’s excitement in the air, especially in our northern.air! I predict we'll have many visitors this year. Speaking of visitors, we've had lots of requests for tours of Erickson Gold Mine, But we're just not big enough to hold regular tours. So we've been thinking and hopefully we'll come up with some scheme to show off our oper- ation to interested local residents this summer. K eep your eyes on this column for further details. Thanks from all of us for the warm welcome we had in Cassiar during Schmoo Daze. We really enjoyed partic- ipating. Told you we'd win the Tug of War! Can’t beat us Gold Diggers! By the way, we’re using the small wooden ore car from our float for a flower pot... but what do we do with a winning yellow outhouse on wheels? Our radio phone is back! Hurray! We got so fed up with it we sent the entire apparatus to Vancouver for repair! Strange how we take things for granted when we have them and miss them so much when they're gone. That goes for people too. We were sorry to say good-bye to our Mine Engineer, Bob Roscoe, who will be manag- ing a new B.C. mine this summer. Bob broke a lot of cross country ski trails around Erickson this winter. We'll miss him, We’re welcoming new people too, though. Miner Tom Williams will be bringing his wife Vera and their two children into camp this month. That will bring the num- _ ber of children in camp to nine! Mechanic Dennis Best is on the lookout for a trailer to buy so that he can bring his wife Heather up. And it’s nice to have Brian and Kathy Mercer back! That’s all for this month - watch out for those puddles! ° And don’t despair, the dust will soon be upon us. by Pat Lewis Beaton % Pride of the Valley Cassiar Lioness Club The Lioness Club would like to thank everyone for mak- ing our Country Kitchen such a success, The new Lioness exucutive for the coming season is: President Pam Krawezyk 1st Vice-president Rita Brown 2nd Vice-president Carlene Kliment 3rd Vice-president Bev Storie Secretary June Thrush Treasurer Grace Kurian Lioness Tamer Judy Walker Lioness Tail Twister Ida Walters Directors Mary Tomashewski Hilda Cooper This executive will be initiated in June.
