Teams play or practice twice a week, on Sunday, Monday or Wednesday evenings, at the Snow- ridge school gym. by Merv Prier The league will wrap up with an all-players game on Monday, February 24, after the teams have played eight games. Parents are encouraged to come out and watch their children in action. League organizers would like to thank the Cassiar Lions Club for once again providing sponsorship, as well as the numerous adult helpers who make it all possible. The players are sporting a new T-shirt design this season, too, made possible by the talents and willing help of Wal- ter Comper.

This is an international hockey tournament which takes place twice a year. We feel we have a quality hockey team and hope to do quite well. The entry fee is $550.00 U.S. plus $35.00 US. per player. At present we have sixteen players committed to go. This would give a total of approximately $1, 567.00 Canadian to enter. We would like to purchase two sets of sweaters emphasizing Cassiar, Canada, plus caps and jackets matching our sweaters. Because of the cost involved, we are putting on a num. ber of events, starting with a ‘Flea Market” at 1:00 p.m. Feb. 8, 1986, at.the Rec Centre, and a dance on February 22. For any donation for the flea market please call Dan at 778-7650 and someone will ccme over and pick up your donation. There will also be a number of small rattles for Texas Mickeys, dinner for two at the Cookery Restaurant, etc. So keep your eyes open for winners on Channel 8. For any further information call Bob Clark or Dan . Leckie. The Best Safety Device It's. a big job on this old earth to get on your own and prove your worth but its tougher still to have a mishap and face the world with a handicap. No matter how smart you think you are, You cannot depend on your lucky star to keep your limbs and eyes intact. or to keep your skull from being cracked, it takes constant care and a mind thats alert to stay on the job and avoid being hurt. Beautiful epitaphs can’t be read by the people they are written for, after they are dead. The age old plea, “| wish | had...” is no relief when you're hurt and sad, and you dream of an eye that used to be. Its worth more, as the days to give safety a break and honestly try to avoid the cost of careless ways and prove to the world that safety pays. goby, THE BEST SAFETY DEVICE ISA CAREFUL WORKER. THE LAST WORD Those who criticize the younger generation seem to forget who raised it. eee Community Club News The madness and joy of December is Over, and it seems like its the first time the Rec. Centre has been on a normal schedule since October. Needless to say, the fearless crew of the C.C.C. has jumped into the new year with both feet, busily Preparing and planning for the various games coming up in the near future, along with carnivals, special events and some big tournaments. One of the big events the C.C.C. will be hosting is the Northern Invitational Friendship Games. On March 7-9th Cassiar will welcome over 300 participants who will be competing in 11 various sports. These games are especially important as they promote these various sporting activities at a recreational level for youth in the northern communities between 10-15 yrs. The amount of work and dedication needed by the township to en- sure the success of the games will truly be a test of com- munity involvement and support. We ask that every- one who can help in any way to please let us know by phoning the Rec. Centre at 778-7527 or by attending one of the organizational meetings that are so very im- portant. Other happenings around the club was the presence of former Cassiarite Bruce Beaton who conducted a Squash technique and referee clinic. Two clinics sponsored by the C.C.C. in marketing and financial Management saw the Director of Recreation - Mr. Joe lanerelli and the Program Director Ms. Kathy Landry both from the city of Kitimat in town as course conductors. We were very fortunate to have these people here and the success of the workshops will be discussed in the next article. Other happenings was the very successful Minor Hoc- key Mini-tournament with Watson Lake. During the same weekend the Rec. Hockey League hosted the Tele- graph Creek team for two games. Again the Cassiar by Eric Glyn-Jones teams made up of the “Oldtimers” and a Senior team successfully defeated their opponents both games. The theatre group is having their elections and regi- stration this month while the Cassiar Arts Council is meeting again to continue their Constitution prepara- tion. A_ large contingency of approximately 50 people from Cassiar area will be going to compete in the B.C. Northern Winter Games in Smithers on Feb. 7-9. Ad- ditional seats will be available to the public at a cost of $50.00 return trip. The number of seats will be ad- vertised as soon as we know. As well, a few of our special athletes will be travelling to Terrace to compete in the B.C. Winter Games on Feb. 27-March 2nd. Atul Kaul and Blythe Grimmett will be there for badminton while Danny Andrews will be testing his strength against others in the power lifting. We wish all our competitors the best of luck and | know the township shares our support and pride for these atheletes. Coming up in February is the “Oldtimers’’ Flea Mar- ket and mini Bingo on the 8th. This is part of their fund- raising drive to reach the Pacific paradise of Hawaii!! There will also be a boy’ basketball tournament the following week-end which is “Valentine’s’’ and again the “Oldtimers’’ are sponsoring a dance on the 22nd of the month - Bet they can already taste those Mai- Tai’s. In closing we would like to thank all the involved community minded people for their support and in- terest and would like to extend an invitation to the not sO community minded people to help make 1986 more fulfilling to themselves and the community by becoming INVOLVED!

Entry was gained by forcing open the front door of the Lounge and gaining ac- cess to the Lounge stockroom. To the date of this report, there have been no leads. However, R.C.M.P. are still look- ing into the matter.

CASSIAR COMMUNITY CLUB LIABILITY INSURANCE Concern was expressed as to the liability coverage for the Cassiar Community Club. After checking with our in- surance company, | was notified that the Club is covered for up to $6 million dollars in liability insurance. This covers all the affiliated clubs. However, non-affiliated clubs should seriously look into their liability insurance, as this is not covered by the Cassiar Community Club. Should any further information pertaining to the Club’s insurance program be required, you may phone the office at 778-7527. SKILLS PROGRAM The first in a series of workshops that will be coming to Cassiar, sponsored by Recreation & Sport from Victoria, was held on Friday, January 17, in the Upper Leisure Room and the Arena Lounge. These two courses dealt with Financial Management and Marketing. The Course conductors were Joe lannerelli, Director of Recreation, City of Kitimat, and Kathy Landry, Program Director, City of Kitimat. Twelve Cassiar residents registered for the course and, from all accounts, were pleased with the courses. The Skills Program consists of six courses, and these will be made available throughout the year. | would like to thank the people who registered for the courses, as the courses were held on a weekday because of bookings that were arranged previously. At a general meeting held before Christmas, it was decided to go ahead with the formation of an Arts Council for Cas- siar. Local residents were picked from each area that would be interested in being a part of the Arts Council. These people are now sitting on an Acting Committee, and their responsibilities are to form a constitution, and look into all aspects of grants under the B.C. Government. The dateline for this work is June 1986, whereby another general meeting will be called to pass the Constitution and elect officers to the Arts Council. The Arts Council will have the summer and part of the fall to provide inform- ation to local artists, and cultural clubs with information about the Council, and will act as a governing body to these clubs. C.C.C. BUS After many inspections, the Cassiar Community Club bus has been given the green light to be ready for charter by the School District. The school bus inspector's report is available for viewing by any members of the Cassiar Com- munity Club, who might be concerned about the state of anne Watch for further workshops in the near future. SKI CHALET After the relocation of the old Ski Chalet to the Golf Club the Community Club was left without a place for ski mem- bers to keep warm while they change into their skis and boots. Another problem was the fact that there was no place for storage of the emergency tobaggan and slalom poles, along with the platters. Over the past couple of years, we have had thefts of these items, and this was due mainly to having to leave the equipment alongside the ski operator’s shack. The Club was able to acquire a used trailer and over the summer months, we will be doing necessary renovations to winterize for the fall of 1986. This, hopefully, will be part of the students summer program. The purchase price for the trailer was $700 and the trailer was moved to the site, compliments of Cassiar Mining Corporation. ‘ ‘ ———_____— = are ene enh et ERLE AES A EE CET Re ete The Family Bonspiel held from December 27 to 30, was a great success, with 22 teams participating.
