RIVER EXCURSIONS: Telegraph eek B.C. Wrangell Alaska On the Stikine River Tourist & Commercial Trips Telegraph Creek. B.C. ; (604) 235-3161 Francis & Anne Gleason Box 96 -fINNE! NEW EVENT GET IN SHAPE NOW!!! The C.C.C. is planning a triathlon some time in late August or early September. What is a tri- athlon, you ask? The triathlon is an athletic event composed of three sports, swimming, bicycling, running. There will be a triathlon for adults as well as for kids. The distances for these events are as follows: Adult event: (in the order of the events) Swimming I mile Cycling 10 miles Running 5 miles Kids event: Swimming Y% mile Cycling 5 miles Running 2 miles The normal distances for each event in the tri- athlon are much longer. Since this is the first time weve tried it, we will lower the distance so that not only the extremely fit person can try it, but the average person.can as wétt. The idea of enter- ing the triathlon, for most of us, will not be to win, but rather to see if you will be able to finish. This idea of meeting challenge is true for most of the triathlon participants elsewhere. To meet this goal, we have altered the rules somewhat. For ex- ample, in swimming, you are allowed to use a buoyant aid to help you for the whole distance. That means you don’t have to be an excellent swimmer to particpate. For more information on this event, call the recreation office. A certificate will be awarded to all those who finish. REMEMBER, you have two months to get into shape. BUSINESS MANAGER’S NEWS ’ By Garry Periard | + - PRESIDENT'S'MEETING of come: The Cassiar Community Club hosted a President's Meeting in the Upper Leisure Room of the Recreation Centre, on Monday, June 4th, at 7:00 p.m. The turnout for the meeting was excellent, and items that were discussed on the agenda were, fees and structur- es, fund raising, budgetary guidelines, financial guidelines, and a general information discussion. The meeting lasted approximately two and one half hours, with the Club Presidents being presented with the various guidelines. Meeting of all the Presidents in Town, will be twice yearly, with one being scheduled for June of each year, and one in September. | would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Presidents for attending, and if there is a group leader, or any President that was missed for this last meeting, please contact me at the office, and_| will definitely have your name put on the list. Minutes from the Meeting will be available to send out if requested. GRANTS Cassiar Community. Club has applied to the Lotter- ies Commission for a grant to upgrade the existing Swim Pool. This will enable us to accept tenders for the installa- tion of ceramic tile in the pool basin, and help alleviate the maintenance costs each year in trauximiting. A letter from the Commission has been received by this office, ad- vising us of the receipt of the application, and we should have a yes or no within the next couple of months. The Cassiar Community Club has also applied for a Special Needs Grant, in order to enable us to hold a sem- inar in September for the Volunteer Executive Board Members that are on various Committees in Town. This grant will help with the costs of putting on the Seminar, and also assist in paying for one outside resource person who will be doing a session. Answers to this request should be in over the summer. SKI HILL Volunteers have come forward and wish to work on the McDame Ski Hill over the summer months. The work will consist of slashing the underbrush, cleaning up around the base of the hill, filling in the area around the Ski Op- - erator’s Shack, and work on getting some of the rocks either removed or broken up. Letters have been sent to Erickson Gold Mines, and to Cassiar Resources to ask for heavy duty. equipment to work on the hill in July. An- swers to these letters should be in the office within the next two weeks. ore RECREATION ADMIN IST RATOR'’S MEETING The Cassiar Community Club is in the process of planning a joint session of Recreation. Administrators from the Yukon and Northwest British Columbia. This conference is scheduled for the last weekend of Septem- ber and one session will be open to the General.Public of Cassiar. This will enable Cassiarites to meet the various recreation people from the outlying area, and get a com- plete picture of how other recreation departments in the north are operated, and what kind of programs are going on, in their respective communities. ARENA Volunteers have stepped forward and offered their services to paint the interior of the main part of the ice ‘hockey rink. A letter has been submitted to Cassiar Re- sources asking for a donation towards the paint. This work, hopefully, will be done before the startup of the 1984/85 season, pending the outcome of the donation. GOODBYE | would like to take this opportunity to say good bye to Eric Glyn-Jones, who will be leaving the employ of the Cassiar Community Clubon July 31st. Eric has decided to take up studies at the University of British Columbia in the fall, and we wish him all the best in his endeavours. Eric has been with the Club for almost six years, and has worked in the Swim Pool and Arena, as Manager of both places. He has been an asset to the Club, and will be missed by the employees who worked with him in the years that he was employed here in Cassiar. Previous to his © leaving, he operated the C.C.C. Lounge as Part-time Mana- ger, and donated a lot of his time to the Community — through his music, and his coffee houses. Best wishes Eric.

SUCCESSFUL SENIORS MARY MOLAN — PRELIMINARY DANCE june 8th to 10th saw seven local teams competing for the honour of taking the Gold Medals at our Annual Tournament. Thanks to warm sunny weather, the games were enjoyable for both players and fans. The seven teams entered were: Josephs and Assoc., Roughriders, Burnouts, Finning Cats, Mill Rats, Women’s Hockey and The Sliders. There were numerous remarkable plays made by all teams, but Marv Knudslien of the Sliders made some re- markable catches and put-outs at third base. The Burnouts (students) beat-a‘highly regarded Mill Rats team, playing one player short throughout the game. The umpiring was done by all teams and Kelly McPhail did four games so he should be commended for taking all the abuse an umpire takes. Rumour has it, two Finning players umpired a late game and were having a bit of trouble keeping two eyes on the ball, after working at the Beer Garden for the after- noon. At the end of the Tournament, the Sliders won the Gold Medals, after an exciting extra inning championship game against Josephs and Assoc. with the score being 9-6. The Mill Rats were the Bronze Medal winners. DYONNE ZUBEK — PRELIMINARY FREE SKATE BALL PARK HAPPENINGS 4TH ANNUAL MIXED Seek AEN TOURNAM NT By Bernd Guderjahn ~ WINNING TEAM CASSIAR SLIDERS Special thanks to Ralf Voss, Bruce Leckie and Darren DeCecco for organizing the Tournament. Also to Women’s Hockey for the food concession. Hope to see everyone back again next year because it will be bigger and better! MEN’S FASTBALL On Friday, June 8th, 14 Men’‘s Fastball players left for Whitehorse for the Annual Pepsi Challengers Fastball Tournament. The first game was at 9:00 a.m. against the Whitehorse Molson Brewers. The Cassiar team, led by EI- don Hardy's superb pitching lost 2 - 0. Eldon struck out 10 and allowed only 4 hits, but since we only had 2 hits (both by Vince Gibson), our run production accounted for our loss. Next was a 12:00 noon game against the Fort Nelson Gardner Brothers. This game was very close and could have gone either way, but Cassiar fell victims to a 4-1 defeat. Next was a 4:30 p.m. game versus the White- horse Pepsi Jets (who won the Tournament). The Cassiar team, being out of the play-offs, were in a very relaxed at- mosphere and player-coach Greg Morgan made a number of substitutions. Awesome outfield catches by Larry(can | Buy You a Beer) Prince and key hits by “rookie” Gordie Rowe had the Cassiar team ahead 2-0 after 5% innings. Well, in the bottom of the 6th, they scored 5 runs with a few sharp line drives, and since Cassiar only had one at bat left, Cassiar lost 5-2. _ MORE BALL NEWS ON PAGE 15 } THE FINAL TOUGH Kathleen King & Cecile-~Gayle Terris. wish to thank all their customers for their support over the past 4 years and also wish CZ All the Best to the New Owners 222 KENNEDY STREET CASSIAR B.C.
