During the recent wai spell there have been mass exodus’ from Cassia: .s residents flocked to the
lakes and streams to take advantage of the fine weather. For some, the enjoyment was spoiled by
injuries. These injuries were caused by broken glass on the beaches and in the water.

Because of people who indiscriminately leave broken glass scattered around at these areas, the
following occurred: one employee off work from 1 to 2 weeks, two school children walking on
crutches, and many people with cuts which required medical attention. This is a deplorable
situation and must cease so that people can enjoy their leisure time free from such injuries.

Some DO’s and DON'T s for everyone to observe when out for the day or weekend are:

DON'T leave bottles lying around.

DON'T break bottles at lakes and streams.
DON'T use bottles for target practice.
DON'T throw bottles from car windows.

DO put bottles in garbage containers when available.
DO take bottles home and use the garbage containers there.
DO help to keep broken glass to a minimum.

Let all of us work to keep glass and refuse to a minimum in all camping areas and on the roads.
Prevent senseless injuries and keep our area beautiful.

On June 15th, tragedy was narrowly averted by Mrs. Donna Keefe and Mrs. Rose Ebbinghoff
when they performed artificial respiration on 23 month old Visnia Anic, who was found floating
face down in Chain Lake.

The Anic family had taken advantage of the fine weather and had gone to the lake for the day.
The youngster slipped away into the water while Mrs. Anic was looking the other way and a few
seconds later was noticed floating on the surface. Visnia was taken from the water and Mrs. Keefe
began giving her mouth to mouth resuscitation. When the child began to show signs of reviving,
Mrs. Ebbinghoff relieved Mrs. Keefe. The child survived and is in good health.

Mrs. Keefe has taken courses from the Red Cross and holds a Bronze medal from the Royal Life
Saving Society. Mrs. Ebbinghoff has taken a course of instruction through the St. John
Ambulance Association and a condensed First Aid course conducted for the ladies at Cassiar.
The knowledge these two ladies gained has saved a child’s life: What better reward for the time
they spent learning.

Mrs. Keefe summed up by stating “Everyone here should have a First Aid Certificate and should
be able to give artificial respiration, as one never knows when one may be called upon to use the
knowledge gained”.
