Page 12, October 1980 Cassiar Courier by John Wong September saw the start of school and the fall programs. The fall programs officially kicked off on the Sports Fun Day on September 13, which had the Fi- gure Skating Club, Curling Club, Snow- mobile Club, Minor Hockey, Fitness Class and Children's Playhour putting up in- formation and registration tables. On the same day there were three tourna- ments run, one squash, one badminton, and one in table tennis. The response to the whole day was overwhelming. The Community Club would like to thank all who had helped and worked on that day. SOCCER FLASI! There were two soccer matches played in the month of September. In both matches, the Yellows won by a one goal ‘margin. The Yellows beat the Reds 3-2 and 6-5. The matches were enjoyed by all and hopefully the soccer fanatics will get one more match in before the snow comes. RECREATION SEMINAR The recreation manager and co-ordinator went to Whitehorse to attend a recrea- tion board seminar on Sept. 26, 27 &28. The objective for the Cassiar represent- atives was to keep a close tié with Yukon recreation resource people and to see the possibility of all the Cassiar delegates to participate in the Yulzon Games. Judging from the reaction after the seminar, it seems that the Cassiar contingent has achieved both goals. October is a busy month recreationally. The Klondike Nite will kick off the month on the 4th -—“the Can-Can girls have been busy practicing since early September. On the Thanksgiving weekend will be the first ever Invitational Badminton Tournament, which is a 3 Day Event with teams from Northern B.C. and Yukon.

REMEMBER —- PARTICIPATE, IT'S FUN! -—-> > - - © © ~ ~~ oe oe oe eo oo oe ooo ooo oo om Softball Championships by Eldon Hardy The Yukon Softball Association for many years now has sent an All Star Team to the Canadian Softball Championships. This past two years an A & B team have been chosen - the A Team competed in a nationwide tournament and the B Team only Western Canada. Eldon Hardy and John Drzimotta from Cassiar were both chosen to play with the Faro Golddiggers in the Western Canadian Tournament held in Winnipeg recently. The team was very nervous the first day and played three very unsuccessful games scoring only one run all day. They were very discouraged, to say the least. The second day they really pulled up their | socks, so to speak, and won 2 out of 3 games. The first was against the Man- itoba team. The game went 14 innings:, with the Golddiggers winning 3 - 2. The second was against the Yellowknife team from N.W.T. and they lost 4 - 3. The final game was the big one for John Drzimotta - he pitched a great game and the Golddiggers beat Alberta 1 - 0. B.C. took first place, Alberta second and N.W.T. third. : Gassiar Snowmobile Glob _ by Tom Farrell The first meeting of the 1980-81 sea- son was held September 28.

ON “Canada’s mosttalented folk band.” Monday Magarinc, Victoria “Their devotion to the people and music ofthecountryisat least equal to the members’ need to haye a rousing good time wherever they play... Go seethem, evenifyoudon't give a hoot about national ‘unity, Dief, reviews, dogs, the Ice Capades. Or anything, in fact, but that rousing good time. They’re great.” Vaughn Plamer, Vancouver Sun “A joy to hear on record and even more enjoyable in concert... Stringband is a precious commodity.” Paul Park, Ottawa Today “Besides playinga fine fiddle, Terry King is a folk Buster Keaton.” Monday Magazine, Victoria “I suspect someday this band will be treated serious- ly. They represent a contin- uation ofthe traditions offolk music more authentic in feeling than anyone I can think of with the possible exception of Kate and Anna McGarrigle... A Stringband set is to dance to and think about and feel for... For now though, it seems more than a little silly to treat these people as a cultural resource. They are having too much fun.” Wilder Penficld tl, The Toronto Sun “At times it was difficult to tell who was having more fun, the band or the audience at the National Arts Centre.” Duart Snow, Ottawa Journal “A Stringband concert can be an unforgettable experience. Its atmosphere can only be described as homey and the music — rare. Combine the two... and you hae an emo- tional experience that can lead you from despair to raucus laughter to pure delight in sound.” CHINESE MAGICIANS. DANCERS & JUGGLERS GORGEOL 'S COSTUMES W “Stringband is one of Canada’s most inventive and original little ensembles- spirited and sincere, playful and pointed, and possessed with a gift for incorporating incredibly diverse bits and pieces into a harmonious whole that is, not surpris- ingly, much more than the sum of its parts.” Jecani Read, Vancouver Province “Let’s say it one more time: You deserve to tum yourself on to Stringband.” CHQM, Vancouver “One of the most distinctive and independent groups in Canadian music... andalso perhaps one of the most culturally significant.” Doug Fetherling, Saturday Night “They search relentlessly for what they think is a Cana- dian sound. Not finding it they have perhaps invented it.” : Doug Fetherling, Saturday Night “Witty, informative, provoca- tive and thoroughly entertaining.” The Regina Leader-Post “They're as rare as a sun- shower, equally mysterious and refreshing.” The Arthur, Peterborough “The best Goddam record I’ve heard in years.” Herb Johnson, CHRB “Important music by Cana- dians who did not and will not move to Laurel Canyon or Colorado.” Canadian Forum “The best band we've run into fora long time.” Jim Ibbotson, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band SPECTACULAR ACROBATS CLOWNS & COMEDIANS ORLD-RENOWNED CAST Cassiar Courier October 1980, Page 13 : VERTURE CONCERTS QIN The Concert Season is upon us once a- gain - and what a slate of performances we have! This year the Concert Society has scheduled eight concerts. Admission is by season ticket only and they cost - $40.00 per person - an average of $5.00 a concert. The executive is pleased to have been able to arrange the concerts at the. same cost per concert as last year. This year, as last, we are elig- ible for maximum grants from the Govern- ment. These grants have been applied for and we hope to be hearing from them soon. It is these grants which help us keep down the cost to the subscriber. By the time this publication is on the Shelf, the-first concert "Mime & Co." will have already been to Cassiar. The following pages show what we can expect for the remainder of the season. To date we have not received the advertis-— ing literature for "Gills Gremlins", a percussion group. They will be perform- ing in Cassiar sometime in April. As well as the eight concerts, the Con- cert Society is also "Staging" a num- ber of fund-raising activities. These have, been based on the popularity of dast year's fund-raising endeavours- "Olde Time" favorites are Klondike Nite, a Valentines Dance (remember last year's Mafia) and an English Pub Night. A new venture for the Society is the Bazaar- Auction. We hope we can count on the same tremendous support that we receiv—- ed last year. Without this support we cannot finance any of the theatre im- brovements -— this year we would like to install lighting, new stage curtains and dressing rooms. How much of this we achieve depends on the public response to our fund-raising efforts. If you wish to. buy a subscription to the Concert Society contact any of the executive members listed below or the Town Administration Building. Frank Buckley -Kerry Jones Tony Coran Gertrude Martschin Katy Sevier Roy Clements Wendy Zabot Denise Tavener - Sandy Crawford Jeani Geisbrecht Tim Riordan | The West has, for centuries, been fas- cinated by the Orient - and the CIIINESE MAGIC CIRCUS offers more than a glimpse into this exotic culture. This spectacular production features some of the most stunning acrobats ever seen, seemingly impossible feats of dar- ing and balance, Kung Fu, brilliantly costumed traditional dancing, and one of the best magicians from Taiwan-Chen Liu. The precision-and grace of the troupe suggest years of training and discipline, but their art was for» 1 by centuries of tradition. Chines: ..agic and acro- batics are more than a < ries Of stunts. Most of the acts ir this show were cre- ated and performed by the Chi! ese more than 2,000 years ago, and have always been an integral part of Chinese culture. THE CHINESE MAGIC CIRCUS has been en- thralling audiences worldwide for the past five years, going as far afield as Southeast Asia, Central and South Amer- ica, England, Israel, South Africa and Rhodesia - as well as Florida and South- ern California - and with Liberace for two years in Las Vegas/Reno/Lake Tahoe. They spent Christmas 1978 at Madison Square Gardens in New York.
