Page 10 July 1984 Cassiar Courier Thoughts on Food BARBECUING FROM THE OUTDOORS GRILLED WHOLE FISH This method can be used for practically any type - of fish. Butter the inside of a fish and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, a few slices of onion, a sprig of dill, and tarragon inside the fish before cooking. Thin slices of lemon and. oranges are excellent also. Butter a sheet of foil, wrap up fish and cook over charcoals. Cooking time: Small fish 10 - 15 minutes, Larger fish up to an hour. Note. - if using a hinged grill gil well before you start to cook, No need to wrap fish in foil. WILD DUCK Clean, split and remove the backbone of the duck, Rub with butter to keep from drying out during the cooking process. Season with salt and pepper. Barbecue bone side down for 10 - 12 minutes. Turn and continue cooking skin side down for another 10 minutes: Wild duck is at its best when served rare. OOOO OOOO OCEHOOOOOS OOOH OSOHOHOOSO OS® B.C.

They are delicious morsels so allow at least one bird per serving. — Clean and split quail as for broiling. Brown quick- ly in plenty of butter. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Add % a cup of broth (make the broth by cooking the giblets in water with an onion). Cover the pan and let the quail simmer over low heat for eight to ten minutes. Remove cover, add a dash of whiskey. Cover again and simmer until the quail are tender. BEAR STEAK Bear meat, like pork, can carry trichinous and special precautions must be taken with it. The meat must be stored at zero temperature for sever- al weeks - at least three weeks. Before it is cooked steaks can be cut from the loin or the leg. Gener- ally speaking, bear meat is better if marinated for- a day or two before cooking. It will be much tastier and more tender. Try soak- ing it in a mixture of olive oil, red wine, chopped onion and salt and freshly ground black pepper. If the instructions for storing have been faithfully followed the steaks may be served rare. Enjoy your Summer -Good fishing and hunting in the Fall. Side of Beef $1.72 Ib. Front $1.29 lb.

Northwest Community College announces a new Entrance Scholarship Plan. High school students graduating with high marks may be able to attend the College without pay- ing tuition. The College Board recently approved the new scholarship plan to encourage high academic achievement and to help offset the rising costs of post-secondary education. These scholarships are available to full-time programs of three months or more in duration. ‘Dr. Val George, Principal of the College said, “We hope this new Entrance Scholarship Plan will encourage more: . first-class students to take advantage of the wide range of programs available at the College. The opportunity to attend college and also save on paying tuition fees, should be very attractive in these days of higher education costs.. Students who are graduating from all College Region high schools are eligible. Those who graduate with an ‘A’ aver- age will have all their tuition paid; those with a ‘Bt’ aver- age will have 75% of their tuition paid; and those with a ‘B’ average will have half their tuition paid. Scholarships will be paid on a semester system and are renewed each semester the student maintains a high average. Current tuition rates for an academic year at the College range from $448 to $560. This scholarship program can result in considerable savings to high achieving students. Further information and application forms are available from regional College Centers or the Registrar’s Office at the Terrace Campus.

PRESIDENT’S PLAQUE—presented by Denyse Tavener Tracie Sethen CREATIVE WRITING WHAT'S NEXT? By Joe Gowan | had my career all chosen for myself at the age of seven, but that changed very quickly. Decisions aren’t easy to make in the category of deciding what you'll be, and what work you're going to be doing when you grow up and leave school. When | was seven years of age, my next door neigh- bor was cutting the lawn along with her son. They weren’t watching out for each other, and Greg accidently ran over his mother’s foot with the lawn mower that he was using. My family crowded around Greg's mom, and | went over with the rest to take~a look: | thought that it was really neat to see her injured foot, and | wanted to help the lady in anyway that I possibly could. | ran up to my house and ~ got a towel for Greg’s mom, and as | stood watching her wipe off her foot, | decided that when | grew up, | was go- ing to be a surgeon, which was a dream that lasted only a year. At the age of eight, my. soccer team had come in sec- ond place in the soccer championship, a league which I'd been in since | was six years old. My team came second place four times out of the six championship games that I’d played during my six years in soccer. | had then decid- ed-that | was going to play professional soccer. instead of being a surgeon. When | was nine years old, my soccer dream changed. | had been playing street hockey for quite awhile, and | decided that | was going to be a professional hockey play- er instead of a professional soccer player. This dream last- ed two years, and then | changed my mind about sports altogether. At eleven my best friend’s older brother Roy became a janitor in a high school. | admired Roy very much, and decided that | would be a janitor just like Roy was, in- stead of being a professional hockey player. This dream lasted for three years. At the age of fourteen, | was doing the computer course called “‘Choices”, and after completing the course | decided that | would be a medical laboratory technician, mainly because of my interest in medical science. | still have this dream today, and | am still trying to hold on to it. Even though | may change my mind in the future (which is doubtful), my dream will probably last much longer than all the rest I’ve had, and | hope to hold on and make my fantasy a reality. Se OC) Se THE DAY I MET QUADE “TUCKER” McIVER By Joey Anderson, Grade 9 It was really crowded in the Shushwap Saloon, on the day Quade McIver came to town and made a mark in his- tory as the greatest gun slinger in the West. I was sitting on the bar stool, drinking a knee high sasparilla when he walked through the cold, oak, shutter- like doors. All eyés focussed on him. He was packin’ two black handled 38 Smith and Wessons in his black leather holsters. As if no one even noticed him, he walked up to the bar stool beside me and ordered a whiskey. He looked at me with his cold blue eyes; he moved his cigar from one side of his mouth to the other and said, “Howdy partner’. I replied in a rough, low, toad-like voice, “I’m a still kickin’ ’’. I looked at him standing in his black laced cow- boy boots and his long riding coat, and wondered how many notches he had cut in his gunhandle. We sat and drank, and talked awhile. He had a bitter cold look in his eyes when he looked across the bar. Sit- - ting at the other end of the bar was a malicious, sly, cow- boy by the name of Slick Sycamoose Joe. They stared coldly at each other, as if they were rivals from way back. Slick was easily capable of filling the stranger full of lead; however, the stranger looked meaner than a grizzly with a coon on his back. Quade got up off the stool and walked over to Slick. I trailed, not too close, just a little cautious. They talked for a while, then a fight broke out. Each man stood about twenty feet apart when Quade said, “Make a move cowpoke”’. Slick replied, “That’s givin’ me an unfair advantage”. Both men drew their guns in a flash, but the man who was once a legend lay flat on his back with two bullet holes in his belly, his gun still full of shells. The stranger walked out of the saloon, gun barrels still smokin’ and me trailing behind. Up on his black horse he looked like a mountain - relieved of its weight. I said to him, “Where‘will you go‘now?” He said, “I’ll probably head East, because I’ve done what I’ve come here to do, so I'll be moving on,” he finished. I replied, “I give you my luck and hope you make it through the badlands—stranger”. He-took one last look at me, flicked two empty shells my way and rode off into the sun. I never again saw the man who killed the legendary Slick Sycamoose Joe, but I still have the two empty shells that finished him. THE TRAPPER By Jason Dennis, Grade 9 It was the 1st of January and I decided to go out and visit my uncle Laundry, who lived out in the bush and - Mi oned for a living. He has short black hair, a heavy set, and is shy, and withdrawn. I knocked on his thick pine door and heard a hoarse bellowing voice, “Come on in” I tried to open the door in vain. I heard his footsteps come toward the door and he opened it with a yank ef his mighty arms. “Hey, city-boy, too weak to open a simple door?” Then he roared his huge laughter through the trees. I stood there sullen and inflexible, and said in a bitter voice, “Uncle, you'll never change.” “T wouldn’t want to’’, he said seriously. We went into his house, which was small and gloomy, and smelled of smoke. “Here, I reserved a seat for you,” suave manner. " ‘“‘Thanks,”’ I replied. and sat down on a simple block of wood with a homemade table in front of me. My uncle sat down beside me with a blithe and uncaring look on his face. ~ “What you all got?” I asked him. “Why, you want to steal my furs?” he bellowed like he offered in a Cassiar Courier July 1984 Page 11 [n and Around Cassiar Secondary School HONOUR ROLL STANDING 3 TIMES THIS YEAR —presented by Warren Cocking Grade 8-1 — Corrina Boyes Tammy McDougall Asha Lekhi Grade 8-2 — Amarjit Athwal Mary Molan Grade 9 — Shawn Penno Grade 10 — Jacqueline Molan Grade 11 — Sylvia Girardin TOP ACADEMIC-—presented by Keith Lanphear Grade 8 — Mary Molan Grade 9 — Shawn Penno Grade 10 — Jacqueline Molan Grade 11 — Sylvia Girardin BEST ALL-ROUND STUDENT-—presented by N.

ROO Of an elephant. “Just kidding, son, I got two lynx, 17 marten, and 3> fox; one is a real silver fox”’, he answered genially. “Don’t you feel malicious killing those animals?” I said sounding soft. “No, sonny, J don’t’, my uncle replied, “What the Lord Provideth, I shall Taketh, plus I don’t know any- thing else like I know trapping.” Later, we talked some more about Prince George, my hometown; we drank tea, and ate bannock. Then my uncle said, “You better get moving; it’s get- ting late and you have a long walk in front of you to catch your bus.” “Okay, see you,’ I said as I walked to the door. Again I couldn’t open it; so he opened it for me once more. I walked on a way, then turned around to see the small shack sitting among a grove of tall trees. There was a light coming out of his only window. It'seemed so magical to me. Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Residential & Commercial For Free Estimates Call Durk McIntyre at 778-7860 —
