They have mechanical, scientific and philosophic minds, logical and positive in their opinions and while apparently submissive, are actually very determined, even to the point of being obstinate in fulfilling their plans and goals. They tend to be precise and orderly, dislik- ing confusion and object to projects being only half finished. As a rule they are faithful, reliable and just in their dealings, seldom looking for dishonesty and place too much confidence in the words and promises of associates and friends. They have great self- esteem, lacking self-confidence. which they try to conceal and overcome by. being prepared at every point of attack. They. have . such a strong idea of justice that, when occupying positions of trust and responsibility and forced to defend the stand taken, all bull-headed tenacity in their nature is aroused. They seldom let go until they have demonstrated the soundness of their position. Those. of this sign are extremely fond of beauty, having art- istic taste, are chaste in their thorough pattern, and although not powerful lovers, are faithful and sincere. They will sacrifice their own comfort for furthering the interests of others. They are im- impuslive in forming their. likes and dislikes of others, and are usually careless in concealing their aversions. They tend to be exciting, given to habit of self-censure, worrying about health and money matters and are apprefiensive that calamities may overtake them, causing dependency upon others. While many under this sign have inventive ability, they spend attention. to detail but they seldom are the originators, seeming pleased only at putting the final touch on others creations. These people are good moralists, but usually lack intuition, de- manding reasons for everything, and are unable to form accurate concepts of religious or spiritual subjects. Their faith must be built on reason and consider old foundations worthy of respect, but always reserving the right to build elsewhere, rejecting all materials which don’t satisfy them as being worthy building mat- erial of their own. “Temple of Knowledge” shortcomings: Gener~ ‘ ally this sign type is affable and kindhearted but when opposed become obstinate and disagreeable. Their needless anxiety about the future makes them pessimistic. They find difficulty in chang- ing their habit patterns, customs or beliefs, making them stick tenaciously to their existing life-style. If they lack intellectual aspirations, they are apt to become very gross in their thoughts and habits, dull and indolent, caring only for their owm ease and comforts. AFFINITIES & MARRIAGE: — Both men and women of this sign-type are restless rovers. The men become selfishly absorbed in business or intellectual pursuits, not being companionable at home, while the women become melancholy, having fits of weeping, casting gloom over the entire household. Much self-discipline is required of the Piscean choosing a companion. ; cito's PORTRAITS PASSPORT PICTURES TUESDAY 7:30 P.M.

They are always questioning their own acts, and when opposed, become sullen and obstinate and are unmoved by ar- gument or persuasion. : . They are excellent housekeepers with an eye for the ornam- ental, as well as what's useful, and insist on detailed work be- ing systernatically performed. They tend to see blemishes before seeing beauty, As parents or teachers, they quickly condemn petty faults, being fussy and impatient if their rules aren’t fol- lowed. They are loving and kind-hearted, but so sensitive and ex- cited that they look for fault where none is intended, If they are on a low intellectual plane, they are apt to go into fits and hysterics, rendering their own lives, as well as others, into misery by their foolish imagination. In the work-world these women aren't usually fortunate as they lack the drive and energy, but in the employment of others they are persistent and conscientious workers. They are fine actresses and elocutionists; having much originality in illus- trating stories, and designing book-covers and magazines. In their writings they lean toward the scientific rather than imagin- ative, as they have mechanical and mathematical ability. VOCATION — MEN: It is wise for the Piscean man to take great care that chances for promotion are certainly available in the trade or profession that they undertake as they are apt to stay in their first venture for life. This factor or trait is due to their inabil- ity to adapt themselves readily to changes. They tend to be ad- mirably suited to governmental employment. They also have natural ability for the arts and sciences, great aptitude in most mechanical trades and a special ability to put a finishing touch on the work of others. Their interests and concerns are apt to have their wide aware attention and their memory is very reten- tive regarding both form and method. The Pisces man makes an excellent engineer, draughtsman, analytical chemist, cabinetmaker, accountant, cashier or book- keeper. Many art critics, artists and writers are born under this sign. In art, they have preference for the placidly beautiful and their literature is highly characterized by clear, descriptive style, artistic elegance and historical accuracy. If there is a lack of opportunity for prolonged educational study, the Piscean succeed well at manual labor in the lighter forms of the trade. Their choice of occupation is much, and generally leads them to moderate success inany trade or protes- sion requiring a fine finish and/or attention to detail. - COMPATIBILITY PISCES WITH ARIES: _ By sign the two of you are worlds apart in your nature making it difficult for the two of you to find com- mon interests. Positive, active Aries can’t fathom the mysterious Pisces who often irritates the Arien by appearing too negative and indecisive. PISCES WITH TAURUS: This combination tends to be very com- patible. There tends to be man friends, much affection and love shared between the two of you along with an appreciation of beauty, pleasures and all good things in life. Each helps to balance the other as Taurus is a realist and Pisces a dreamer. The realism balancing the dreamer and vice versa. studio PISCES WITH GEMINI: There‘is a marked contrast between the nature and outlook of these two sign-types. Gemini is logical, factual and mentally oriented while Pisces is imaginative, sensitive and a dreamer, living by feelings, emotions impressions and in- tuitions. Gemini find it difficult to relate to the illogic of the Pisces nature. Due. to the fact that both sign-type are adaptable and tolerant, and will usually accept each other's ways. ° PISCES WITH CANCER: The unity of these two sign-types !s related to feelings, emotions and intuition, which will have prior- ity over logic, reason and analysis. The two of you tend to feel — things deeply, each evoking sympathetic response in the other without a word being spoken. Both of you need to love and be loved, ; PISCES WITH LEO: The Leo is frank, open, extrovert while Pisces is deep, mysterious and elusive in quality, causing Leo to never be sure what Pisces is made of. Pisces admires the strength and purpose of the Leo. Pisces needs to be more organized and Leo is the one to aid Pisces. PISCES WITH VIRGO: — There is an affinity between these two that complement each other although each of you is amystery to the other. Virgo is motivated by reason, analysis, logic and fact while Pisces is guided by emotion, feeling and intuition. Virgo brings method into Pisces’ life and Pisces brings a touch of magical romance into Virgo’s life style. : PISCES WITH LIBRA: Although the two of you are different by nature, there can be an affinity due to the appreciation of beauty, the arts and entertainment, harmony, gentleness, love, affection, togetherness and the magic of romance. Libra’s sense of balance will help counteract Pisces’ tendency toward contusion, indicision and impracticality. PISCES WITH SCORPIO: There tends to be a magnetic attraction between the two of you which generates an intense emotional relationship. Scorpio has an inborn desire to dominate someone or something and Pisces has the ability to give a submissive im pression, Pisces can sooth the inner tensions, compelling desires and complusive strivings of Scorpio. Each of you intuitively senses the moods, needs, fear and faults of the other. PISCES WITH SAGGITARIUS: This combination is full of com- plexities, presenting a multitude of possibilities. Some compati- bility may be found in philosophy, religion, mysticism, philan- thropy, humanitarial and other lofty ideas, but there is also a ten- dency toward periods of confusion, uncertainty and wishful think- ing. In some cases each of you tend to live in your own private world. The Piscean tendency toward indecision, impracticality and disorganization may exasperate Sagittarius who's basically active, impulsive positive and likes to get things done quickly and efficiently. i PISCES WITH CAPRICORN: Although there’s a great difference between the two of you, both of you complement each other. Pisces find it easy to adapt to people and situations which show safety and security. Capricorn is the epitome of safety an sec- ‘urity. Pisces is sensitive,emotional and romatic and can become in- jured emotionally by Capricorn if and when feelings are not shown Pisces not being agressively competitive, doesn’t create a threat to Capricorn’s ambitions and long range plans. Capricorn’s sense of management and practical ability helps shelter sensitive Pisces from the harshness of reality. PISCES WITH AQUARIUS: It’s hard to find a more unusual corn- bination than this. The two of you are “out-of-this-world”, trans- cending the limits of personal ideas, giving each other unique qualities that others do not possess: The superficial layers of this association appear quite ordinary and normal, but the unseen in- terplay of psychological forces make an obscure and highly com- plex relationship. Each of you sense unfathomable depths in the other which is seldom entered even in long relationships by others. PISCES WITH PISCES: Feelings, emotion’s, daydreams, imaginat- jon and intuition are all outstanding in this comparative relation- ship. Each of you have your own private, secretive world to escape . to when necessary. The two of you sense things from others with- out a word being spoken. Each of you have a tendency to be dis- organized and indecisive causing times of confusion and wasted energy. ~ §MOW JOB Whoever coined the phrase ““A job well done need never be done again” never had to shovel snow! Nee an ns Whitehorse Basketball Tournaments _ MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT. The Cassiar basketball group went to Whitehorse on Feb. 12 for their only tournament of the season. The tournament was held as a warm-up for the Yukon Men’s Basketball team, who will be competing in the Arctic Winter Games. The Cassiar group basically consists of enthusiasts who come out every Monday and Wednesday night during the Community Basketball hours. The ones who did make the trip were Merv Prier, Norm Vickery, Glenn Whittington, Olavo Santos, Pat Waldera and Tony and John Weng. Many thanks should go to Merv Prier, who arranged the Cassiar participation, The team left on Friday, February 12, at 2:30 p.m A high- ly skilled basketball player was Merv, as was his fine manoeuvr- ing of his vehicle to get the team to the airport; and we still had’ 5 minutes to check in before the plane took off. A promising sign, indeed, as nobody in the van broke under pressure. A com- fortable flight to Whitehorse, as the team travelled via ‘first class’ _ In the spacious and luxurious Trans North Airline. Friday even- ing was free so the group went to the Whitehorse Rec Centre, where the Cassiar Girls Basketball team was taking part in a women’s basketball tournament. John Wong, who had had a cold all week stayed behind in the sauna at the hotel, hoping the heat would force the cold away. After he woke up an hour later he suddenly realized that the sauna was not working! Next morning the team marched into the Whitehorse Rec Centre to get ready for the tournament. As we walked in we were shocked by the size and shooting accuracy of the two teams who had been playing. Not exactly a shot in the arm as we were introduced to the three out-of-town pick-up players, Laurie Munroe and Bob Jeckling of Carcross and Mike Blanchette of Elsa. The whole team was contemplating changing the team name trom Cassiar Celtics to Cassiar Midgets. The first game was against a team from Haines, Alaska. We _ looked across the court and saw that the other team was almost - like us; no matching uniforms and assorted size players. That eased our teams’ nervousness a little. We played a very consistent .. first half — consistently missing opportunities, shots, passes, re- bounds! The team saw itself falling behind by 30 points. During half time the team regrouped, each offering excuses: John - I'm too sick; the others - the hoop was too bouncy; John - Ive got a cold; the others - the backboard was too bouncy; Olavo — - my car wouldn't start, etc. So, after these very constructive sug- gestions the team fought back and ended with a 20 point deficit. Haines 82, Cassiar 62 The second game started at 3:30 that same afternoon. Af- ter the morning game some members were pondering the idea of not showing up. This game was crucial because if we didn’t win then there was no chance of getting into the finals the next day. Our opponent this time was Fort McPherson, a N.W.T. team which carried three ex- University players. A suggestion was made during warmup that we should try to seal the hoop with quick drying cement as the other team consistently put the ball into the basket 20 — 30 feet out. However, we were glad that we did- n't as it turned out, our team played a very solid game and we came out on top by about 20 points. The final score wes some- thing like Cassiar 118, Fort McPherson 98. Nobody remembered to record the score, we were too delighted by our first win of the season, So that night ve celebrated... On Sunday morning we played our last game of the round robin. We played the host team, Whitehorse (which is the Yukon Men’s team). We both held.the same record, one wn and one loss, and the winner of this game would advance to the final. The whole Whitehorse team was big in size with the majority over 6 feet, whereas the majority of our team was under 6 feet - a classic David and Goliath battle was anticipated, and it turned out to be one. At half time the score was 51 - 40 in favor of Cas- siar. However, that comfortable lead was diminished to 4 points during the later stages of the second half. A couple of key inter- ceptions and foul shots during the last one and ahalf minutes of the game evaporated the hopes of the comeback by the White- horse team. The final score wes Cassiar 94, Yukon 86. Merv Prier led both teams with a game high 32 and Norm Vickery added B more points for Cassiar. The high scorer for Yukon wes Ken Blackborn with 37. After this exhausting game, the team had about 15 minutes rest and then on to the Qhampionship game. The original sched- ule was for 1:30 p.m but our flight left at 3:15 p.m. so we had to force ourselves to play a back to back game so that we could catch our fight. This time our goponents vere no strangers to us Haines was unbeaten throughout the tournament and had scored over 100 points each against Yukon and N.VWT. — the team that beat us by 20 points and had shabby uniforms just like us! — Both teams agreed to play two 15 minute halves instead of 20 minutes and a two minute break between halves instead of the usual 10 minutes. In this contest, although tired and weary, the Cassiar team exhibited same fine defensive plays, keeping the highly explosive scoring Haines team in check. The half time score was tied at 23 — one of the lowest half time scores during the entire tournament. During the second half the effect of the game against Yukon showed as John had a leg cramp, which re- sulted from a check on the thigh during that game. When there were only two minutes left the Cassiar team was behind by 8 | points. The team tried to press and managed to pull within 4 but it vas:a little too late. The final score was Haines 53, Cassiar 49, Special mention must be made of the three giants — Merv Prier, Norm Vickery and Glenn Whittington, who stayed in the game longer than anyone else, who helped in scoring, as well as controlling the rebounding, and especially to Norm, who had to coach the Cassiar Girls team as well as playing for the men’s team. The team is now looking forward to 1983 and the Yukon Games. Plans will be made to raise money for a pair of basketball backboards for the Rec Centre as it is the only place which can accommodate a full size basketball court. If anyone is interested we are stil playing every Monday and Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. in the School Gym. Cassiar Courier March 1982 Page 13 GIRLS BASKETBALL by Helen Pain. Early Friday morning the Cassia’ School Girls Basketball team set out for a tournament in Whitehorse. They had little over an hour to prepare themselves for the first game against the F.H. Collins Senior School Gir’s team. For the first real com- petitive game of the season, the Cassia team played really well, with a final score of 54 - 42 for the F. H. Collins team. The top scorer for Cassiar was Wendy Cartwright with a total of 12 points. : The next game was scheduled for 1:00 p.m the following day so the girls had time to recuperate from the trip up and relax between games. The Fort McPherson ladies team proved to be good competition, but not good enough for our girls. Cassiar was rewarded for their efforts with a final score of 56 — 44 for Cassiar. Ursula Froehlich wes top scorer, with 14 points, and Clare MicKiernan cond with a total of 10 points. The final game on Sunday proved to be quite an experience for the team. They played the Senior Yukon Women’s team, who will be playing in the Arctic Winter Games. Cassiar was a little nervous in the first half and were losing by 48 points at half time. The girls went into the second half with all the cbter- mination and aggression seen in an experienced team, with con- centration on the defensive play. It really paid off and the other team scored only six more baskets, making the final core 67 - 19 for the Yukon Senior Women. ite The girls on the Basketball Team were: Uschi Froehlich, Wendy Cartwright, Clare McKiernan, Connie Quash, Barb Bill- ingsley, Tanya Radulovic, Joanne King, Carla Litke, Bev Deyo. Well done, girls, and good luck with your tournament in Hazelton next weekend. Many thanks to coach Norm Vickery for organizing the trip and for all the.hours he has put in with the team.
