Courier Capers We do more at the Cassiar Courier than write and record the news around town. Every now and then we have a “happening” too! Last month the staff and contributors held a good- bye party for long-time Courier staff member Kerry Jones. We presented her with a gift and a photograph album full of Courier memories: We had a newsprint hat contest and the variety of paper hats constructed by the Courier crew (as these pictures. show) was amazing. The’ Cassiar Trivia Quiz almost caused a brawl, but next time we'll make sure each group knows the answers before they ask the questions! The party was an excellent opportunity for all of us who work at the paper to get together socially and to wish goodbye and good luck to Kerry!

On August 15, the tramline was once again damaged. Fortunately,the extent of the damage was limited, and after five days for repair, the tramline started moving ore from the mine to the mill once again. Tramline cars were derailed when one of the upper track cables, on which the cars travel, lost tension because a cable clamp failed to hold it. The upper full cars fell and derailed the lower empty cars. No derailed cars, however, hit any towers and, for the most part, the major repair work entailed untangling the twenty-four derail- ed cars and putting them back in place. On August 25, in the mill, a floorman, Atul Kaul, received electrical burns to two fingers when he came into contact with high voltage in an electrical control room. The injury was min- imal, but it could have been serious. Mill person- nel have been reminded to follow proper safety procedures in order to eliminate this kind of ac- cident. One of Cassiar’s veteran mine rescue team members, Danny Harrison, had a close call on the Stewart Cassiar Highway on August 26 when his car went over a bank and fell and rolled sever- al times. Fortunately, Danny was wearing his seat belt. We know that Danny enjoys flying, but trust, in future, that he restricts his flying to planes. Good luck in your convalescence, Dannye Shoppers Shorts The Retail Store has now commenced operation under the new hours.

The specific pass is on the Yukon-Northwest Territories border and Mr. Wright scouted a number of alternatives through the Richardson Mountains during aerial reconnaissance of the route in 1958-59. The route through the mountains that exists today was chosen as a result of his calculations and subsequent recommendation. Mr. Wright came originally from Ontario. He attended Queens University and served six years during the war with the Royal Canadian Engineers. He came to Yukon first in 1946 via the west coast, and became involved in a number of engineering projects in Yukon and _ across northern Canada. He returned to Yukon for good in 1958, and first met his wife in Dawson City. He was employed as a Highway Engineer with Public Works Canada and because of his unique talent for highway design and route location, was ultimately responsible for the routing of a number of Yukon _ highways, including the Campbell Highway, the Mayo Road and the Cantung Road. His greatest challenge was the Dempster High- way where he literally travelled on foot over every kilometre between 1958 and its comple- tion in 1979, and was responsible, more than any other single individual for its routing. Mr. Wright was a man of many talents historian, researcher, author and photographer. His book “Prelude to Bonanza” documents Yukon’s history prior to the Klondike Gold Rush. It is a scholarly but eminently readable text and is now in use in the Yukon school system as a valuable addition to the study of Yukon’s her- itage. He received a heritage award from the Dawson Museum and Historical Society in 1983 and, posthumously, from the Yukon Historical and Museums Association in 1984. Mr. Wright passed away on October 18, 1983 following a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife Glenna and three children. Government Leader Chris Pearson, Commis- sioner Doug Bell, Northwest Territories Commis- sioner John Parker and federal Department of Public Works civil engineering manager, John Hudson have all lent their support to the naming of the pass.

It is once again open six days a week. Leslie Rivet is the new librarian, replacing Rev. Bill Morrison. Leslie has been working in the Library for a year, and is well able to take on the new position. One of the first things Leslie will do as Librar- ian is make a trip to Library Services Branch in Dawson Creek to visit the regional director, Mary Grant, and other staff people there. She will also pick the new fall selection of Temporary Loan Books, which should be available in early October.
