Page 8 July 1981 Cassiar Courier LIONS DEN REPORT NEW DEPUTY DISTRICT GOVERNOR It is our honor to have Lion Lothar Kutz voted in by ac- clamation as the new Deputy District Governor for the Northeast District, which encompasses the Yukon, North- ern B.C. and the northwest area of N.W.T. Lion Lothar ac- cepted this position at the Multiple District Convention in Anchorage. But then, who could resist all that charm, wit and wisdom coming from so humble a soul? With all re- spect, we stand behind him and wish him every success in his endeavors in this esteemed position.One of Lion Lothar’s main duties is to assimilate reports from his two zone chatrman and report to the District Governor. RR EHHHEHHHHHHH It is our fortune to have Lion Richard Rudkowsky ap- pointed as zone chairman. Some of Lion Richard's duties are to report to the Deputy District Governor the progress of the seven clubs in his zone and to advise on any prob- lems that may arise. NEW EXECUTIVE The new executive has been elected for the 1981-82 term We are proud to present as follows: President — Lion Richard Rudkowsky 1st Vice-President — Lion Ted Krawczyk 2nd Vice-President — Lion Tim Walters 3rd Vice-President — Lion Norm Cosnett Secretary — Lion Derek Walker Treasurer — Lion Ken Kethler Lion Tamers— Lion Conrad Altendorfer Tail Twister — Lion Reg Ash 2 year Directors — Lion George Kurian Lion Claude Roy 1 year Directors — Lion Steve Hanley Lion Ray Jenkins C.N.1.B. On June 8 we enjoyed an invitation to a joint meeting with the Lionesses to once again welcome Lion George Gibbs, who is the supervisor of District Operation with the C.N.I.B. Lion George, a member of the Vancouver Central Lions Club, was also at the Cassiar School for a discussion on eye care and safety. His travels bring him throughout the Yukon and Northern B.C., as he organizes C.N.1.B. drives and personally visits the many blind people in his area. Lion George is a well spoken and well manner- ed speaker with an incredible memory, a huge task, and a flair for Irish jokes. Lion George, who once had a promis- ing career in the postal service, is blind — a tragic condit- ion which he so indelibly imprints on our awareness uf personal eye care, safety and an enormous task of help- ing those stricken with this condition. The meeting was well attended and all present were struck with admira- tion for Lion George Gibbs, who would not let his loss of sight slow him down. LIONS CAMPGROUND With summer and vacations and, hopefully, a more consist- ent appearance of “Old Sol’’on our doorstep, we would like to perhaps rally your support and, if possible, a little bit: of a helping hand. This is not a call to arms against beer bottle breakers and garbage pollution of the Lions Campground, but just an encouragement to all who use this facility to use the garbage cans. You can probably im- agine (or may have seen first hand) the mess that forty or fifty garbage bags of tin cans, foil, plastic and beer bottles can make. Yet this is the amount of garbage painstakingly picked up piece by piece, raked and shovelled, just :to let nature show her true beauty. We won’t say much about the thoughtless souls who burned the campshack picnic table. It is unfortunate but the supply of ready cut and . chopped firewood is a service which we cannot: possibly keep up with. We hope that those who choose to use this facility will be challenged by the northern adventure of providing for yourself, and leaving your campground a little bit cleaner than when you first picked your sport to relax and enjoy. 1981 LIONS CONVENTION On May 12, four Cassiar Lions, Richard, Reg, Lothar and Jim, made their way to Whitehorse and after a good night’s sleep, boarded a chartered bus with 22 Whitehorse Lions. A spirited 12 hour ride got them te the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel where they attended the 36th Annual Lions Multiple District 49-Convention. During the three day affair, many schools, workshops and seminars were held, leaving little but some, time to see the sights of Anchorage. Two of our own Lions, Richard and Lothar were elected to District positions. Lion Lothar is 49B Deputy District Governor, and Lion Richard is our Zone 10 Chairman. We would like to wish them well in their coming year. The guest speaker was Dr. Jim Fowler, Lions International 3rd Vice President, who attended with his wife.

Cassiar “PothOler” This nocturnal creature is found exclusively in the Cassiar area of British Columbia. The “Cassiar Potholer” has an unusual method of locomotion. It has no legs but uses its two arms to launch itself in leaps and land on its cork- screw. shaped torso. Few have ever been seen but it is be- lieved the “Cassiar Potholer” has arms of: unequal length and this catses it to spin itself into the ground on landing — and creates small, round craters or. ‘Potholes’. The tracks are quite easy to identify as it seems to prefer the high- ways and sideroads of Cassiar Country. NEED IIELP? Call the Native Courtworket and Coun selling Association of B.C.
