“In the Swim

There has been a really good turnout at the pool this
season. However, a lot of Cassiarites haven't been seen yet
- including “Natasha” (alias Gary Periard). The pool will
be open during the shut down and the hours have been
slightly cut back. Schedules for July are now available at
the Recreation office and at the pool.

The school (Kindergarten to grade 7) have been using the
pool for lessons and recreation over the past two months.
Its been great to see the Good Hope Lake students using
the facility as well. A few teachers have taken advantage
of the sessions to come in for a dip! As part of the school
sports day, a few events were held at the pool on June 23.

Eric taught a Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross class
during May and June. The exam was held on June 22 -
congratulations to the successful candidates! Anne Erick-
son the Red Cross Area Consultant from the Yukon was
the examiner. We appreciate Anne making the trip to
Cassiar. Thanks!

The Cassiar Clippers Swim Team has 22 swimmers reg-
istered this year. They practice five hours a week and are
making phenominal progress. Clippers will be competing
in Dawson Creek at the end of June. The team will also
be going to Whitehorse in July and a few swimmers will
attend the northern Regionals in August. Hopefully this
year a few swimmers will qualify to attend the B.C. finals
in Vancouver.

Childrens’ Red Cross lessons will be offered in July. They
will start on July 6th. All levels will be offered providing
there is a good response from the community. Classes will
run if there is a minimum of five people per class. Lessons
are $15.00 and you can sign up at the pool or call 778-
7565.

Eric Glynn-Jones will be leaving the pool at the end of

) WIMATHON ©

The Cassiar Clippers held their second annual swimathon
on June 11 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. The swimathon was
held to raise money for the purchase of equipment, team
suits, and to go towards travelling expenses for out of
town swim meets-

The Clippers, —the local competitive swim team— will be
participating in a swim meet at Dawson Creek on June
27 and 28.

This year eight people swam the maximum number of
lengths — 150 (that’s just over two miles — a _ long way
to swim. ) They were Warwick Elhorn (8), Kim Madore
(11), Bev Deyo (13), Shawn Penno (11), Dan Deyo (14),
and Kathy Pewsey (14). The figure in brackets is the age
of the participant. Also completing the 150 laps were
Bob LeFebvre and Laury Malcolm.

Everyone swam really well with most-of the swimmers
surprising both themselves and the coach! Other partici-
pants included:

Name Age Lengths
Janice Joseph 8 62
Tammy Mulrooney 9 86
Kevin Radford 9 90
Kate Elhorn 9 118
Jenny Pewsey 9 116
Trina Radford 11 100
Lisa Joseph 12 124
Preston Radford 13 125
David Madore m1 3 130
Teresa « Bartell 13 132

Congratulations to all the participants. It is estimated
that when. all the pledges are collected, just over $3000
will Have’ been raised — an increase over last year when
$2000 was raised. New equipment to be purchased in-
clude a pace clock, hand paddles and lane ropes so that
next year Cassiar can, hopefully, have their own meet.

The Cassiar Clippers would like to thank the people of
Cassiar for their. tremendous support. The Swimathon
Was a huge success thanks to you.

On the weekend of June 15, the town’s softball field was
in full use from Friday night to Sunday night. Five local
teams fought it out for first place. The game, slow pitch
softball, was a lot tougher than the team entries of
Logan’s Heros, The Warehouse, The 69"ers, The Bank &
Teachers, and The Mine ever thought it could be.

The rain stopped nothing as the crowd cheered and jeered
their favorite teams and umpires. The field was two inches
deep in mud after the rain fell, and the most popular
command was “Slide, Slide “! ne a result, it was hard to
tell where the mud stopped and the arava began.

Casualties of the week-end were Carl Penno with a spraine
ed ankle, Berndt Guuerjahn with strained stomach mus-
cles and a number of 12:08’s Monday morning-

To determine the winner, all.games were counted on a
point system, three points for a win, two points for a tie
and one for a loss. At the end of the last game on Sunday
Logan's Heros and the Warehouse team both had 10
points. A play off game was held there and then in the
pouring rain. :

The winning team after a long and hard-fought weekend
was the Warehouse, with Logan’s Heros a close second
and the Mine team coming in a flukie third,

Events happening on the side were hamburgers and hot
dogs provided by the Arts and Crafts Centre with a Beer
Garden on Saturday and Sunday afternoons outside the
ball field, A dance Saturday night with music by Dave
Chapple was enjoyed by both ballplayers and laymen
alike.

Everyone involved enjoyed themselves enormously and
hopefully this will turn into an annual event.

Marion Zimmer Bradley: The Heritage of Hastur, D.A.W.
Books, 381 p. $1.95

Bradley has, for a number of years, been writing a
massive history of a planet called Darkover. There are
some 14 books in the series at present and it is still devel-
oping.

Darkover was settled mellenia ago by a ship from
Earth, but that fact has been lost in history. The collapse
and retrenchment of the original Terran empire left the
planetary Outpost stranded until it was “rediscovered “
centuries later. In that time the Terrans had interbred with
the local humanoids and produced a species of ATS,
with variable strength psychic powers.

When.Bradley-first.began to write-his history none of
this was clear, and it appeared that-we were being given a
story of cultural conflict between different levels of indus-
trial achievement. In such a case, the lower level of culture
is usually taken over by the higher, so the conflict is cent-
ered on the Darkovan’s struggle to resist cultural coloniz-
ation. :
But this is not a series in the usual chronological sense.
Bradley has jumped around in time and hit key eras in
both pre-contact and post-contact history.

Hastur takes place after the initial Terran contact,
when the uneasy truce of later years had not yet been
worked out. As a result the bulk of the story involves a
struggle between different Darkovan philosophies about
how to deal with the Terrans.

It is an unusual novel in that it is told from two dis-
tinct viewpoints. There is a first person narration by Lew
Alton and a second person narration seen through the
eyes of Regis Hastur. The two strands run parallel for a
time, then separate and finally get back together. at the
end. : batppalinon

It is a fine novel, and complete in itself, as are all the
Darkover books.

Badge presentations for the F. S. C. were held on ist
June in the Upper Leisure Room. At that time all the

_ badges which have been earned during the 1980-81 sea-

son were presented to the skaters. The figure skating
mothers provided the refreshments - cake and punch -
which were enjoyed by the kids and adults.alike. Your
punch was great Sandy!!!! The girls worked really hard
during the season - we hope they keep up the good work
acing the 1981-82 season.

The new season will begin in October. The F.S.C. execu-
tive is pleased that they have finally paid off the
$13,000 plus deficit incurred on their behalf by the
C.C.C. for the 1979-80 season. Thanks to all the people
who supported our fund-raising ventures. During the
1981-82 season the club was operated completely by
the C.C.C. This next season the F.S.C. will assist the
C.C.C. in paying for the operation of the club.

Our pro Lorraine Menzul has agreed to return in the fall.
With so many talented skaters and Lorraine teaching
them it looks like next year could be the best yet.

This is a long, philosophical speech for a man like
Sackett, and it is a measure of his affection for the lady
that he bothered to make it. How they got up there, what
their relationship is and what it will be are the subject of

_the rest of the book.

Aside from that the speech provides. the thematic
underpinning for-most of L’Amour’s many books. His
westerns are always about independent, peace loving men
who can’t seemto find any peace. In the end they have to
make their own. }

L’'Amout’s books are generally enjoyable. His most

which this book is part.

and Cassiar District was in town recently. -

The objective of her trip was an exploratory fact finding
mission regarding course needs for the: town of Cassiar.
She will return in July to consolidate the Northern Lights
programs scheduled for the fall.

It is hoped that more first aid courses will be held in
Cassiar such as industrial first aid — a two week day time
course, the heart saver course ( which includes C.P.R.) and
possibly survival first aid which is a W.C.B. course. Fur-
ther air brakes courses will be held in Cassiar and Iskut.

COLLEGE

PRINTMOBILE TO COME TO CASSIAR

During the week commencing September 13th, the North:
ern Lights College will be bringing in the Emily Carr Col-
lege of Art’s mobile instructional facility, a mobile print-
making unit known as a PRINTMOBILE. This is one of
the Emily Carr College of Art’s Outreach Programs
through which the college is fulfilling its function as a
provincial resource {n the visual arts and design.

Resident artist, Anne Berry and an assistant will travel
with the printmobile to present the programs. It is hoped

CANADIAN HEART FOUNDATION

Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation

By Jean Kapala
Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (C.P.R)is a method
of sustaining life by mouth-to-mouth breathing and ex-

ternal cardiac massage. C.P.R. can maintain life until

medical help arrives in cases of ‘heart. ‘attack, electroc-
ution, drowning, poisoning and other causes of cardio-
respiratory failure.

CPR Gourses will be offered in Cassiar beginning in
September 1981. Classes vary in length, depending on

the level taught and are limited to 6 people per session.

Everyone can learn CPR. It is a skill acquired through
practice and much of the class time is spent in perfecting
technique. Education in prudent heart living, risk factors
in heart diseases and heart attack signals are also includ-
ed. All classes are conducted under the standard of the
Canadian Heart Foundation and certification is issued af-
ter successful completion of written and practical exams.

This program was developed after many years of re-
search by the Canadian and American Heart Foundation
and has proved successful in saving thousands of lives. It
is beneficial for everyone but highly recommended for
all paramedical people, RCMP and family members of
people with known heart diseases. A select group of doc-

- tors, nurses, mine rescue workers and ambulance drivers
have already completed two courses.

Cassiar is fortunate to have: a.course of this calibre
available. CPR instructors are specially trained and in-
structional equipment must be shipped hundreds of
miles. ‘“Resusci-Anne’’ mannequin, pamphlets and _ in-
struction packagess have been provided for, this purpose
by Emergency Health Services of B.C. To take advantage
of this opportunity to possibly one day save a life you
can enrol in the CPR course.

If six people are interested in atttending the course
before September special arrangements can be made
through Peggy McKinnon, Phone 778-7609. Regular
courses will commence in September through Northern
Lights College.

by Terry Farrell

On a recent trip to Vancouver, in search of good food
and a little bit of nostalgia, we returned to La Brochette
Restaurant where, for two years prior to our coming to
Cassiar, | had worked.

The main attraction of this restaurant is the thirteenth
century roasting spit and charcoal grills imported from
France and set up in the middle of the restaurant where,
on many a night, / roasted, alongside’ ‘the gigot dl’ ‘agneau
persillee and caneton entier, emulating Ue d’Arc to
the strains of JeNe Regrerte Rien.

On this occasion it was nice to sit just out of burning.
distance and watch someone else shovel the hot coals.
My place there now is taken by Frank Mattman who, for
five years previous, was head chef of the William Tell Re-
staurant. He has made a few interesting menu changes
which we could not wait to sample.

A salmon mousse with green pepper corns was very tasty
and eye appealing. The moules mariniére, a lesson in
simple perfection, was certainly not hindered by a bottle
of Pouligny Monterachet. An interesting salad of hot
duck, made an excellent. intermediate °course. This is
made by cutting the meat from the legs of one duck, re-
move the tendons, slice the meat thinly, saute in a little

_ hot butter, deglaze the pan with some cider vinegar, add

these ingredients to one head of curly endive and toss seas-
oning with salt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle with
sliced toasted almonds. Serves two. a

With the remaining duck breasts an equally interesting
Maigret de Caneton Au Jennevre is made,which we tried
on another visit. For this,remove the two. breasts from
the bone, flatten slightly and saute in butter until the
meat is pink. Flambe with Calvados and deglaze the pan
with % cup fresh cream and % cup of demi-glaze, in
which 8 juniper berries have been simmered.

Our main course on the night in question was a Céte De
Boeuf Roti for two — a generous portion of rib eye beef,
spit roasted over hot coals, bore no resemblance to any
rib. eye | have ever. tasted cooked in a conventional oven.
When it is cooked to your requirements this joint is tak-
en off the bone and sliced in half lengthways so. that you
each get to taste. the crusty exterior and the juicy centre.
The rarer you have it the more you appreciate the con-
‘trast in taste. In typical French style, bearnaise sauce ac-
companies this and all other grilled beef.

The restaurant boasts one of the most extensive wine
lists in B.C. though | must accept some responsibility for

-the. depletion of the stock of Chambolle Musigney 73.

their annual Pot Luck Supper. Seventeen ladies were pre-
sent and they enjoyed a variety of main course dishes and
desserts.

They also gave farewell gifts to three members who will
