All good things must come to an end and the
passing of June saw the end of a pleasant
interlude in the lives of the Pewsey family.

Brian, Doreen, Stephen and Anne have re-
located to Vancouver where Brian will contin-
ue his duties as Vice-President. of C.A.C. but
out of the Vancouver Office.

The family came to Cassiar in November 1974
when Brian was appointed Mine Superinten-
dant with C.A.C. In the almost five years
since then Brian has held various positions
with the Company. These include - Produc-
tion Superintendant, Mine Manager, Gener-
al Manager, and finally Vice-President Opera-
‘tions - a position he assumed last December,

During the time that Brian and Doreen were
in Cassiar, they both became involved in
many community affairs. In spite of his
busy work schedule Brian became involved

in the Curling Club affairs. He was president

_ of the club for a short time.

In the meantime Doreen rapidly became very
busy around town. She was involved and lent

“her support to the Minor Hockey Organisat-

Cassi ar Courier

the Voice of Cassiar Country

“AU REVOIR’

Doreen became a very active and enthusias-
tic member of the Drama Club. Many resid-
ents will remember some of her productions,
Doreen was also instrumental in the organ-
ising of the fashion shows that have been
produced in the last five years.

The members of the Anglican Church Choir
will miss Doreen’s voice. She was a member
of the choir for a number of years and was
also active in the Anglican Church Women’s
group.

On the June 28th many friends, colleagues
and business people from town gathered at
the Lion’s Room to bid farewell to Brian and
Doreen. The farewell party was hosted by
~C.A.C, and during the course of the evening
Peter Jones presented Brian with a jade clock.
Doreen was presented with a set of crystal
stemware. Doreen also received a beautiful
bouquet of fresh flowers - a gift from the
community club.

While it is always sad to say goodbye to
people, with Brian and Doreen we know it is
just ‘Au Revoir’ as we are certain to see
them back in town on various occasions. In
- the meantime we all wish the whole family
the very best of lack in their new location.

“ARTS & CRAFTS CENTER

Some time ago the members of the Town
Council came up with the idea that a Crafts
Centre would be a benefit to our community.
-It would provide room for people to do things
during the long winter months here in Cassiar.

It could be used to enhance the Arts program- -

me for our school children, give the people
who live in the bunkhouses somewhere to go to
develop ideas, and be a common ground for

the people of our community to develop skills”
and receive the enjoyment of their creativity.

The Aas % Creotis Center

The idea was passed on over the last couple of
years and came to realization with the acquir-

ing of a Government_ grant for the hiring of
workers and the pledging by the Council of a.

large portion of its annual budget toward the
project.

Our general plan is to incorporate into the
- building a pottery room, complete with wheels —

and kiln, a black and white photography area,

a leathercraft area and an area for textile arts,

consisting of weaving, macrame, beadwork,

batik and quilting. We also hope to have
enough space to have a common room for
meetings, coffee and exchanging ideas. It could
be used for various other functions as well,
club meetings, quilting bees, music, etc. There

is a strong possibility that there will be a sub- _

stantial donation from the Clinton Creek Com-
munity Club for this specific project.

Thanks to Cassiar Asbestos Corporation for

donating the used bunkhouses and the use of
some of the company equipment to help set it
up. Thanks to Humphrey Construction, and.
their crew, for donating their time and crane

}7tO help move the units, also to Eldon Hardy
and the guys from § &J for working some of

their evenings on the move, and to those who
have, and are, helping in this Wort naynile pro-

ject.

Construction is now going ahead on the facil-
ity and we hope to complete it this fall, if
things go well, But; remember, if you have a
little time to spare, come down and lend a
hand. It'll be greatly appreciated and will help
set an opening date that much sooner. .
