LIONS DEN REPORT HE

‘This marks the first submission of our Lions
“New Year”. The Club’s executive for 84/85 is:
Tim Walters - President
Dave Brocklebank - Secretary
Bryan Lundale - Treasurer
Richard Rudkowsky - Vice President

This year we are on a membership drive, but
that doesn’t mean we want a whole crowd of
people lined up at the door! The way new Lions
are obtained is by showing you’d like to be in-
volved, to a present member and then your will-
ingness to participate is reviewed by the member-
ship. If approval is given you are invited to join
us.

While there was a “shutdown” - “‘vacating of
the town” for the past while — the remaining
Lions in town were hard pressed to find some
leisure time with on-going projects crying for
attention. , Before I list our-activities during the
past six to seven weeks I’d like here and now to
thank the Environmental Department and those
in charge for the shutdown, Paul MacRae and Joe
Beddington and most importantly the students,
also Brinco, for the support given us in the period
of short manpower. They relieved us of a task
we do not try to shirk, but one that would have
diverted us from other tasks when there were so
few of us available - the clean up of the Cassiar
Cemetary. Job well done!

Their help in some of the work involved in the
upgrading of the Children’s Playground is whole-
heartedly appreciated - from tree cutting, to
stump removal, rock removal, hydro-seeding etc.
To all of you - Thank You!!

by Dave Brocklebank

While I’m on the subject of the Playground - it
was most gratifying to see the way so many

things have fallen together on this year’s push to.

provide an all-round area for the kids.
Things like so many elements falling together

from so many different sources — Financial
support from Town Council; Equipment and
manpower support from Brinco; Individuals

not associated with the Lions giving of their time
(the surprising part here is the majority were not
even fathers whose children will benefit); and
most heartfelt of all - the kids themselves who are
small on size but not on willingness to help, and
the CCC who donated some of their summer
student labour.

To all involved in so many ways a genuine
Thank You!!

We are extending an open invitation to ali
children 14 years old and under in reading dis-
tance of this newspaper to a free bar-b-q — ham-
burgers and hot-dogs and juice — the Saturday
following the completion of the fence around the
park. We are awaiting, at the time of this writing,
the fencing material and two more pieces of
playground equipment on the next barge.

The date for the Bar-B-Q should be the 15th
of September at 12 Noon, for the grand opening
of Your playground. Watch for an announcement
on WSTV and posters at school and the CCC and
store.

On to other happenings -

Simmons Lake: after completion of the boat
dock we seemed to assume responsibility for the
snow roof/shelter. The CCC tried very hard to
generate some community spirit and involvement
to help erect this benefit for everyone, but all
that ever showed up were 9 out of 10 people -
LIONS members.

I sincerely hope everyone who enjoys the
use of these facilities realizes their CCC dues
have not been increased to cover labour costs.
It would be nice to see some support for the CCC
and its endeavours from affiliated CCC clubs
(of which the Lions are not) or at least from
some CCC members.

I have just received a newsletter from the
Lions Youth Camp, in Alaska, to which we
allocated funds to send some deserving youth
from Cassiar and area. As it turned out - no one
entered this year and I must say - too bad!

Rob Best attended last year and from the
newsletter it was better this year with children
from Asia and Europe involved. Remember
next spring - the camp is for boys and girls!

We are again looking at an OKTOBERFEST
or something similar for the fall. Hopefully
we can provide something.

Fast approaching us is our C.N.I.B. drive -

‘please watch for the dates and please help us help

some people who need support.
As a Parting Thought:
What is impressed upon us through Lionism—
No. | Your family - No. 2 Your job - No. 3
Your community.
The priorities are right - the thought is right.
We can all - Lions or not - Give for our town.

LIGHTS
COLLEGE

The Board of Directors for Northern Lights
College held a meeting at the Cassiar Secondary
School in August. The board consists of Six
members with Chief Executive Officer for the
college, Jim Kassen, Dean of Instruction Al
Westcott, and Chief Accountant Ted Byng.

At the present time the board lacks a member
for the Stikine District of the college region and
plans to appoint a person are underway.

During its visit to Cassiar the college board
was given a demonstration of the mobile learning
centre which will serve our area this year. Admin-
istrator of the centre, Tom O’Connor, said the
mobile unit will be parked outside the secondary
school whenever he is in Cassiar. Residents
wishing to register or seeking advice on course
selection should contact him at the mobile unit
or by phoning 778-7237 or by writing to the
college at Box 128, Cassiar.

Adult upgrading programs have received
funding approval for Atlin, Telegraph Creek
and Dease Lake. In Cassiar Mr. O’Connor will be
organizing an evening course for adults interested
in high school completion. This course is sched-
uled to begin in October. Also, people who have
registered for correspondence courses will be con-
tacted by Mr. O’Connor as materials arrive.
College notice boards will appear around town in
September with details.

Mrs. Susan O’Connor will be starting Suzuki
violin students age 5 and up in September.
This is a college course which provides an introd-
uction to music and the violin by means of an
increasingly popular method that combines
parent and child learning.

“The. parent plays a very important role in
the learning process of the child. The participat-
ing parent learns the basics of playing the instru-
ment and attends lessons taking notes on the
points to be practised at home with the child.
The Suzuki record with the students repertoire
is played daily to develop the ear, rhythmic and
musical expression.

Each child is given a private lesson by appoint-
ment and a group lesson which includes solo
and group Ber On anCy: ‘rhythmic, singing and
listening skills.”

An organizational meeting and a demonstration
of the Suzuki method will be advertised in
September.

This fall the college will also be offering
vocational night courses in welding and driver
training. Please direct all enquiries and ideas
regarding college activities to the phone number
or address listed above.

Collective agreements
settled

Northern Lights College has settled new one
year collective agreements with its faculty and
support staff. Board Chairman, Charlie Lasser,
indicated that he was very pleased that the
settlements were reached without conflict.
Chief Executive Officer, Jim Kassen, said that
the two components of the B.C.G.E.U. recog-
nized the economic situation of the day, and were
very responsible in accepting a zero increase.
In fact, he said he was particularly proud of
the faculty who did not even request an increase.
As a result, the negotiatious were .completed
within two hours at the very first meeting.
Kassen said that the cooperative and non-con-
frontational approach was a model for all colleges
to consider.

Town Council

Other than a thank you to the Environmental
Department for their town clean-up during
the shut-down, there is not much to report. A
reminder to all clubs and businesses to put
your submissions into Town Council for in-
clusion in the new Welcome Wagon folder.

Our projects of a Cassiar Map/Sign and an

RY. dumping station are to be incorporated
as a joint venture on the approaches to town —

but will have to be put on hold till next spring.
Reminder - Town Council Elections are
approaching fast.
Hope you all had a good summer - now get
on with fall - Get Involved!

Our Lady of Lourdes

Mission

On June 24th Feast of the Holy Eucharist, we
honored the children who received the Eucharist
for the first time this year. The Mass and homily
were adapted to their level and they joined the
priest at the altar for the Eucharistic Prayer. A
joyful and beautiful lunch was served in the hall
with our first communicants at the head table.

At the same time best wishes and farewells were
expressed by Joan Habjan on behalf of the parish
to the families who were leaving us for other
places. We will certainly miss them as their ab-
sence will be quite visible.

In July the church was painted during the three
weeks of summer weather. The contractors L & R
really went to work on scraping and priming and
covered it all with a cheerful yellow.

In the meantime our church in Good Hope Lake
was blushing, the asbestos shingles were begging
for protection. So the whole chapel received two
coats. of white, and a new blue trim, thanks to the
local people who helped with the repairs and the
painting. Even the children got into the act; the
four bottom rows were all done by them. You
can also see two tone fire-weeds around the build-
ing. The inside walls and floor received a tho-
rough cleaning.

The few picnics with the children at Boya Lake
were a delight and a welcome diversion in the
summer holidays.

At Cassiar in July the minimal Sunday congregat-
ion was supplemented with a good share of tour-

- ists from Ohio, Minnesota, Boston as well as vis-

itors from Canadian Provinces.

On Thursday August 23, we celebrated the actual
anniversary date of the blessing of the church in
1959 by Bishop J. L. Coudert, O.M.I. A thanks-
giving service was held in the evening followed by
a social gathering in the hall.

The hall has now been totally renovated. The last
paint brush was used in June 1984. It was a tre-
mendous undertaking as floor, walls and ceiling
needed a complete overhaul. The first hammer
was heard in May 1983 and the volunteer workers
persevered to the very end. Congratulations to
each one of you who devoted so much of your
spare time and your skills to make it a pleasant
gathering place.

“Sing praise to the Lord and give him thanks”
Fr. O. Pauwels.
