Page 6 December Cassiar Courier LIONS DEN REPORT Saturday, November 12th, the Lions Club held their annual bonspiel, with Lions, Lionesses, friends and invited guests. With a large number of people who have never curled before, it was a fun time. Thankfully no one took it too, too serious, but there was margin for potential con- flict with skips such as Tony and Lee Coran going head to head against one another, and Glen and Helen Billingsley against each other. There were eight ‘good’ teams entered and a most enjoyable day was had with Ida Walters lead- ing the sing along on the ice and Shelly Overton providing the piano music for the sing along off the ice. The ‘spiel was followed with a nice meal and a social evening, Many thanks to Lion Reg Ash for organizing the event, to the cookery for food preparation and to all the guests for Joining in. P.S. Honestly Claudette | didn’t mean to hit you on the head, but I’m a wild man when | attempt to sweep. Sorry, no trophy for Ida Walters!

Soon they will be presented with a novel variation wo this theme. An Educa- tion Vehicle! Imagine a recreation-type vehicle which has been modified to become a classroom for students in isolated places and a home-away-from-home for the tutor. That's it—an Education Vehicle. The E.V. will carry educational television equipment, a stock of cassettes relevant to current Knowledge Net- work courses and other courses sponsored by Northern Lights, a small library and a working studying area for four students at a time. It will have a tutor who is an ex- perienced instructor and who is prepared to give instruc- tion and tutorial assistance to our isolated scholars. Northerners, look for the E.V. in your district early next year as Northern Lights College pioneers a new phase in distance education. SCULPTURE CLASS On October 18th, 19th and 20th, we were ebjers to run a course on free form sculpture, through a visit from Emily Carr College, artist-teacher James Thornsbury. Jim is an excellent teacher as well as a gifted artist. An interesting personality, he was able to fill in his free ane with visits to the Secondary School during we day. New School Trustee ARLENE FRANK The new School Trustee for Telegraph Creek for the term from December Ist, 1983 to Novem- ber 30th, 1985, is Arlene Frank. She replaces hus- band, Gordon Frank who was Trustee for 1982 and 1983, and she won the election over two other candidates; Gordon Frank ‘and Yvonne Tashoot. Mrs. Frank was born in England and moved to Telegraph Creek from Nanaimo, B.C. six years ago. She is the mother of five children, one, Peter Frank is in Grade 11 at Cassiar Secondary School. She has a strong interest in the educational sys- tem and is currently serving on the Parents Advis- ory Committee and the Health Committee. She is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Tahltan Store and is involved with setting up the school library at Telegraph Creek. Dorothy Odian (Atlin), Peter Stone (Lower Post) and Sherry Sethen (Cassiar) were re-elected by acclamation. Cassiar Courier December Page 7 Do you want PWA? Dave Broenenank At Jim Fulton’s meeting in Cassiar in Septem- ber, concern was voiced about the reduction in C.P. Air service to Watson Lake. I would like to make a suggestion to the people of the area who are being held hostage by C.P.Air. As the air fares go up—more and more people drive out of here. As less people fly, the airline cuts down its ser- vice, the less flights on certain days—the more people drive out. They are cutting their own throats. Jim Fulton inquired through the Canad- ian Transport Commission if C.P. was violating their exclusive right to service at Watson Lake. The answer was, no, at 4 flights a week, they are not. Now this year they are down to 3 flights, and Jim Fulton still has not had an answer. In Terrace/Kitimat, C.P. Air had exclusive service—which was slowly deteriorating, and fares were going up while being reduced wherever there was competition. Then, through public pressure, P.W.A. was granted landing rights at Terrace. Since that time C.P. Air has had to pull up its socks—why—COMPETITION!!!! If everyone in the area served by Watson Lake airport was to write to the Minister of Transport and to Jim Fulton and to Pacific Western Airlines asking for P.W.A. to service Watson on the days C.P. Air doesn’t want to—we might get some decent service here. Along the same lines—has anyone ever enquir- ed why Far West Bus Lines in Terrace has not ex- tended their twice weekly bus service from Ter- - race to Stewart to Terrace to Watson Lake? People could take a shopping trip to Terrace, the bus line could pick up freight service and mail service all along the way. Single people could do a ‘get-away’ trip to Hyder or Terrace without worrying about driving. If you'd like to see it—write: Far West Bus Line, Terrace, B.
