To date, the far reduced Clippers Swim Team has been doing great! Determination and hard work have been personal assets of all the swimmets. From endurance workouts of.one and two miles to stren- uous sustained all out swimming the team is still chomp- ing at the bit. On June 7—9 four: members of the team, chauffeured by yours truly, travelled to Tungsten and competed in their annual Swim meet. All our swimmers swam excep- tionally well and placed as follows in their division: Shawn Penno—Gold, Pam King—Gold, Jenny Pewsey— Silver, Dyonne Zubek—Gold. After the meet the Tungsten Teen Club hosted a dance and from what lunderstand a good time was had by all. Sunday saw us hosted for lunch in the cafeteria by the company and shortly after on the road home. Special thanks to Chuck Molloy who graciously lent us his car for the week-end, and with even greater poise and dignity, accepted it back! In the ’85 season the Clippers held their annual Swim-A-Thon on June 14th. Special thanks go to the “out of town” swimmers who raised money for us, and, of course, to those who sponsored us. Congratulations to all those who made the 150 laps: Shawn Penno, Dyonne Zubek, Pam King, Warwick Elhorn, and Jenny Pewsey. Out of club swimmers who tried their luck: Lil Kamlah (60), Bettina Martschin (100) and Eric Glynn-Jones(75). Mid-July will see the team competing in the annual Whitehorse meet, and August will see us competing in the Regionals in Prince George. From that meet, if any swimmer finishes in the top three in any particular race, it’s on to Trail, B.C. in late August for the Provincial Championships. Depending on time and committment, chances are good that the Clippers will host a meet of their own in August. In closing I would like to say how proud we all should be of the strong will and determination of these teenagers in our community and how important it is that we all continue to support their drive to take this year as far as it can go.

Our late spring prevented us from starting play until May 21, which gave the softball teams a 6-game season and the T- ball teams 10 games each. Play was quite evenly matched this year, with no teams having perfect records, and everyone winning at least once. At the time of this writing everyone was look- -ing forward to the big season-ending tournament and awards ceremony, scheduled for Saturday, June 22, All players received participation medallions and individual awards were presented for outstanding performances, as listed: SOFTBALL MOST VALUABLE PLAYER TIGERS Darla Creyke TWINS David Lanphear RANGERS Paul Guarducci ATHLETICS Binder Mangat RED SOX Danny Walters WARRIORS Carol Roberts MOST IMPROVED PLAYER TIGERS Bradley Creyke TWINS Riky Bilodeau RANGERS Joanne Coran ATHLETICS John Cavanagh RED SOX Jackie Roblin WARRIORS Simone Meise MOST SPORTSMANLIKE PLAYER TIGERS Jason Hardy TWINS Lisa Lanphear RANGERS Kamal Athwal ATHLETICS Chris Sweeney RED SOX Dubravko Kovacic WARRIORS Harry Johnny [—BALL MOST IMPROVED PLAYER RAVENS Scott Cameron FALCONS Ali Darwiche EAGLES Jeffery Johnston MOST SPORTSMANLIKE PLAYER RAVENS David Hardy FALCONS Farrah Shipley EAGLES Jody Harrison Congratulations to the players who participated in all of their team’s games and a big ‘‘Boo” to those who did not attend all of their games. We had a new problem this year, one we have never had before, with one game being defaulted and several near-defaults. If our league is going to operate, we must have 100% participation. Next season we know that everyone involved will be responsible en- ough to attend every game after making the commitment to play. You owe it to yourself and your teammates to honor your commitments. On the brighter side of things, we would like to thank the Cassiar Lions Club for their support in money and manpower; the coaches and umpires who gave so much of their time; the loyal, shivering parents who were present at all games; and the Cassiar Community Club for its on- going co-operation with the field and equipment. Thanks to you, children have a chance to play ball, and learn the two most important words in sports — SouG rs and sportsmanship.

The competitions were sponsored by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and hosted by Quintette Coal Limited of Tumbler Ridge, B.C, The competitions were located at the Quintette Coal Limited plantsite where the Mine Rescue scene was the clean coal silo area and the First Aid scene was the park- ing lot near the Gatehouse. The scenario for the rescue problem was a worker on the tower was injured when he lost his footing while climbing the stairway. He suffered a head injury, fractured both bones in his lower left leg and complained of lower back pain. The rescue team was expected to separate into two groups, with four members proceeding to the top of the silos via the elevator on the extreme left of the building, cross over the top of the silos and lower themselves by rope down the stairway to the accident site, where he was given first aid under cramped and very windy conditions, then rescued by lowering over the edge of the site to ground level. The Cassiar team performed very well, but not well enough to win the competition. The winners were the Bullmoose team from Tumbler Ridge. The first aid scenario was a truck operator jumped from his truck to ask a co-worker to remove some grit from his eye and as he landed heavily on the rough ground he received an open fracture to his right ankle, fractures to his right upper arm and collar bone. The teams were judged on the effectiveness of their first aid with bonus points available to the team com- pleting the problem in the shortest time. Cassiar’s team of R. Voss, D. Ritter and B. Burns placed second in this com- petition, with an excellent performance. The First Aid winners were Quintette Coal. Tumbler Ridge is well located and smarts with new buildings in the town centre, new paved streets and high- ways, and new and beautiful homes set in crescent forms and surrounding the town centre. An impressive achieve- ment, considering that two years ago there were only trees and mud in athe town location , FSS: Cassiar Courier the Voice of Cassiar Country Box 100, Cassiar, B.C., VOC 1E0 ADVERTISING RATES FULL PAGE $110 HALF PAGE $60 Base Rate $5.00 per column inch Classified Ads 10 cents per word AL PASSARELL, Atlin Constituency Office Box 359, Cassiar >> Cassiar ~778-7340 Atlin~ 651-7723 | Victoria ~ 387-5207- collect ZOD Please contact our office if you havea concern >> oe eo ee eo ee eo eo oe oe oe oe oe oe oe oS SUMMER HOURS Thursdays, Fridays, 9-6 Saturdays e M.L.A., ATLIN he Rod and Reel Fishing & Hunting Licences & Tags ? : .

There were eight teams entered? the Sliders, Mill Maniacs, Dirty Sox, Master Riders, Alex’s Army, Fleur de Lis, Finning and All Star Students. Unfortunatley, no fans attended the 8:00 a.m. Satur- day game but, fortunately, the Sliders and the Master Ri- ders players did attend. There were fans at the remaining games, however. Despite “‘unusual’’ weather of snow aa rain on Sat- urday, the teams all persevered and played. Most of the games were closely contested. In Sunday’s semi-finals, Alex’s Army defeated the Dirty Sox to advance to the final against the undefeated Sliders. Alex’s Army, having lost on Saturday, had to win three in a row Sunday to qualify for the finals, They did that and were poised to meet the Sliders team. In a terrif- ically exciting game, the Alex’s Army team defeated the Sliders in extra innings to win the tournament. Congrat- ulations to Alex’s Army for the win. Recognition and thanks must be accorded to several people who did yeoman service through the tournament. First, all individuals who played and umpired and who looked after the grooming of the field. A thank you to Glenn Whittington for the scheduling, to Pat Waldera and Gary Swift for overseeing the tournament in general, to Denis Anderson, tourney scorekeepers, and other score- keepers. A big, big thank you to Tim Walters, Paul Broh- man, Gary Swift and Pat Waldera for organizing the con- cession and beer gardens and to the Cookery, who willing- ly and generously gave of their time to help make the tournament an all-round success. Once again, it is through the hard work of volunteers that make these community efforts successful. Many thanks to them and your efforts were worth it sale ask anyone who was there.
