Our Lady of Lourdes
Mission
At our April 3rd meeting of the Pastoral Council

plans were finalized for the Spiritual retreat and
the services of the Easter Triduum.

- During the week of April 8th a good number of
Parishioners took part in the Spiritual Retreat
conducted by Father Ivan McCormick, OMI,
from Haines Junction. This experience was ap-
preciated very much by all who attended.

On Passion Sunday, April 15th, Diana Miller re-
ceived her First Holy Communion, and so did
Kevin Loughran and Damion McGuinness on
Easter Sunday. Others will follow on the coming
Sundays.

The Easter Triduum from Holy Thursday to
Easter was celebrated together with All Saints

- Church and was well attended. On Good Friday
morning both churches joined in the annual Hun-
ger Walk in aid of development projects for the
poor, followed by a “rige bow!” lunch.

‘Easter Sunday was highlighted with the baptism
of Brandon Lester Joseph Morrissey, son of Ray-
mond and Georgina Morrisey from Erickson Gold
Mines.

During the month of May,'Scott Cameron and
Dubravka Kovacic received their First Holy Com-
munion.

At a special cermony on Monday, May 14, the
Sacrament of Baptism was administered to Liliana
Bogdanovic and Mark Ursic.

The Summer Schedule for celebration of Mass be-
gan on Sunday, May 20, and will continue until
after the Labor Day weekend. Masses will be cele-
brated on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. and
Sunday evening at 7:15 p.m.

At Good Hope Lake the Sunday celebration will
take place at 5:00 p.m: on Saturdays, for the
summer months.

On Tuesday, May 15, Father Pauwels attended
the BeSine of the new church at Iskut.

The Feast of Pentecost will be celebrated on June
10th. The Summer schedule of Masses will be fol-
lowed. For this week only Mass will be celebrated
on Monday at Good Hope Lake, instead of on
Saturday at 5 p.m.

The celebration of all those children who received
their First Holy Communion during the Easter
Season’ will be held on the Feast of the Holy
Eucharist on June 24th.

Religious education classes ended on May 28.

Parents Advisory

By Mary Elhorn

The Parents Advisory Council Meeting was held May
2nd. Arrangements were finalized for the upcoming elec-
tions. Mr. Lanphear gave his report on events at the Sec-
ondary School; the Snowridge report was unavailable and
Mrs. Sethen gave a short budget report. It was stated that
more grass would be seeded over the summer and some
playground equipment would be forthcoming. The Spring-
time at “Mudridge’ may improve eventually!

Thanks go to the departing members for their time
and interest, also, to all nominees for the elections.

The Good Friday Walk-A-Thon was a great
success again this year. Eleven people from All
Saints Church walked, and raised nearly $900 for
the Primate’s World Relief and Development
Fund. The youngest walker was Stephen Davies,
who walked the whole distance with his father.
The weather co-operated, providing a fine day for
the stroll from Quartz Creek back to town. After
the walk participants gathered in the Catholic
Church hall for the traditional ‘poor man’s lunch’.

For the fifth year, the people of All Saints
and Our Lady of Lourdes Churches came together
to mark Holy Week with the traditional services
of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On Thurs-

day evening the congregations gathered in All -

Saints Church for the service that commemorates
the institution of the Eucharist in the Upper
Room. The church was re-arranged, with pews
surrounding a small table set in the middle of the
nave; the somewhat informal service thus pro-
ceeded with the people gathered round the table.
At the table Fr. Pauwels and Fr. Morrison pre-
sided, Anglican and Roman Catholic priests using

a Greek Orthodox liturgy now contained in both .

Churches’ service books to celebrate a common
liturgy. At the end of the service the eucharistic
elements were carried to the main altar of the
church, and a silent vigil was kept. On Good Fri-
day the Liturgy was celebrated in Our Lady of
Lourdes Church. The service included the reading
of the story of Jesus’ death from John’s Gospel,
the traditional solemn prayers of the day, the ad-
oration of the Cross, and a simple act of Holy

Northern Lights.

Parent/babysitter panel discussion

BABYSITTING COURSE

Recently I instructed a babysitting training
course, sponsored by Northern Lights College.

We had five two hour sessions, culminating
with a parent/babysitter panel discussion. For
four of these sessions I invited guest speakers
to share their knowledge in specific areas. Don-
na Bliss, teacher and parent, spoke about the
care of infants, including safe toys, feeding,
playing, etc. Carol Whiteside, R.N. spoke about

medication and of her own experiences as a
babysitter. Gordon Becket showed us a film to

us in a discussion on what to do in case of emer-
gencies that could arise while babysitting. The
speakers added a great deal to our sessions and
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
them for sharing their expertise with us. The
students were very enthusiastic, listening intent:
ly and contributing their ideas on how they felt
they could be good sitters. A lot of material
was covered and I feel each student learned and
benefitted a great deal from this course. Each
' student was successful in passing the course. I

Communion, using the elements reserved from

the previous night. This joint liturgical celebration
is, as far as we know, unique to Cassiar, and
expresses our desire to be, as far as the constraints
of history and policy allow, united in our worship
and witness.

In early April Archdeacon Terry Buckle from
Fort Nelson made a visitation to the area as part
of his duty of overseeing the work of the diocese

in the Liard area. He had originally planned to be |

in Cassiar to preach at the Sunday service April 8
but a funeral in Fort Nelson on Saturday made
that impossible. He arrived instead on Sunday af-
ternoon, and on Monday he and Bill Morrison
made a trip to Telegraph Creek. Fifteen people at-
tended a service and fellowship gathering there
that evening. On Tuesday Roger Holmes, lay min-
ister in Telegraph Creek accompanied them to
Dease Lake, where some positive steps were made
towards the purchase of property and the eventu-
al building of a church there. It was also arranged
that a service would be held in the Community
Hail on Easter Day, to mark the start of a new ef-
fort in ministry in Dease Lake.

On Sunday, May 13th, the Fourth Sunday of
Easter, Matthew Stirling, son of Vince and Sharon
Jarvis, was baptized. _

Immediately after the service on Easter Day,
Bill Morrison left for Tungsten, with Jim Gilpin as
chauffeur, to conduct a service there in the even-
ing. In spite of a flat tire near Good Hope Lake

and a stop in Watson Lake for tire repair, they -

made it, with twenty minutes to spare, for the
7:30 service. Afterwards: they were invited for

supper at the home of Cpl. Glen and Pam Trites.

In the morning, after a trip to the hot springs,
they set out again for Cassiar. The weather for the
trip was superb; it was only a few miles out of
Cassiar that they encountered the snow that had
dominated the weather here while they were
gone.

showed a film entitled “Babysitting” which
gave detailed information on the negative and
positive aspects of babysitting.

’ The students had an exam to test their
knowledge. We ended the course by inviting
parents of little children to come and discuss
expectations with the group.

I felt the course was very successful and
would recommend that it run on a yearly basis.

Ms. Park with students

The past month has seen a busy time for the club as
we move from the drudgery of winter into a hopefully
glorious spring and summer.

The Simmons Lake boat. dock has just about reached
completion and when the ice is off the lake it will be an-
chored and the ramp to shore installed, and a rubber
bumper installed completely around the edge. We hope
everyone enjoys the use of it, and no one abuses it.

As “our” year winds down—we would like to thank
all: supporters of our Lottery ticket sales—through the
lounge and individual Lions. A special thank you to the
lounge staff for helping us in selling the tickets and raffle
tickets and hockey pools. The proceeds from these ven-
tures goes to the High School: Bursary, playground and
other community projects.

~ This month (May) has seen our annual clean-up of the
Chain Lakes Lions Campground and as the public has
chosen to not vandalize the area as was so common in the
past, we may be installing some picnic tables this year
again. Thank you to the public and especially to those
“residents” of Chain Lakes who so often clean up the area
in our absence.

We also held a Mother’s Day Brunch with the pro-
ceeds going to the High School Bursary.

Another couple of projects when the snow is gone
and the ground dries up will be the cemetery clean up and
cement work and the Cassiar cenotaph clean-up and paint-
ing.

Before long the children’s playground “WILL” be
completed with the tire fence and the installation of new
playground equipment which has already been ordered.

We are looking into the possibility of rebuilding and
repairing of the bleachers around the baseball diamond
and we are again helping sponsor minor baseball.

With the help of a load of gravel from Brinco, we
hope to complete the bridge across Troutline Creek.

The final order for sterling silver Cassiar c coins has
been sent in and our gold plated coins should arrive soon.
Any one wanting these at $5 each should move fast as
there are to be 100 only ever made and mail order de-

_ mand from across North America has been heavy and al-

ready taken half the coins available.

We had a very good convention in Whitehorse with 6
Lions and 1 Lioness in attendance. Our incoming presi-
dent and one other Lion attended a gruelling four day,
twelve hours a day, presidents school before the conven-
tion, others attended secretary’s school, Lion Tamers
school and others and hopefully the results will show
through in the year ahead. .

Cassiar Lions and Lioness sponsored the Wake-Up
Wagon at the two major hotels, which entailed getting up
at 5 a.m. every morning, preparing the refreshments cart
and going door to door throughout the hotels, waking
everyone and serving eyesopening refreshments. The two
Lions who went to the president's school, spent anight in
Teslin for the Charter Meeting, to open a new club. Thirty
four members in a town of 400 people!

On Tuesday, May 8th, we held a very enjoyable joint
dinner meeting with the Lioness Club. George Gibbs from
the C.N.1.B. was our guest speaker and an excellent meal
of moose stew and bannick (sic) was provided by Lioness
Claudette.

June will see our awards banquet and installation
night for the incoming executive.

Unfortunately this year there were no entries for the
Youth Camp essay competition. Each year the Cassiar
Lions send a teenager from this area to a youth camp in
Alaska, but with no entry in the competition we shall use

‘the money for some other project.

In April we had a special visitation meeting, with our
District Govenor, Scotty Munro and his Gabinet Secretary
Bob Galloway in attendance. {t was good to see them here
and an enjoyable time was had by all. :

In closing, we would like to wish everyone a safe and

many of the early games were teaching/learning sessions as
much as competitions. But, after the first few games most
players had learned the most important rules, and by the
final game, successful shots, passing and team play had
become the rule more than the exception.

The most satisfying aspect of the league for the three

April 30 was a big day for 33 of Cassiar’s smallest basket-
ball players, as they had their final game and awards cer-
emony for the first ever season of Cassiar Lions mini-
basketball. What these 10 and under stars of the future
lacked in stature was more than compensated by their tre-
mendous enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

The league had operated for 3 weeks in April, with 3
teams playing a scaled down version of the adult game

~ was the near perfect attendance and enthusiasm of players

at practices and games. It seems obvious that all children

_ who participated enjoyed it and learned from their ex-
_ perience.

_ Awards were given to all players to recognize their special
contributions to their respective teams. Thanks were also
* extended to Pat Borsato for all her assistance, and to the

group of dedicated and exhuberant parents who came out
to watch their youngsters play each day. This was one of
the most enjoyable and successful Lions sports ventures of
the past year, and we look forward to more worthwhile
projects like this one in the months to come.

Lions sponsor
another sport »..,..,

The Cassiar Lion’s Club is again sponsoring mixed
softball and T-ball leagues during May and June for the

children of Cassiar. The slow-pitch softball league is for

those between 9 and 14 years of age, while the T-ball
league is for children 8 and under.

This has been a very popular program, with about

100 children registered in early May, including a team

from Good Hope Lake. Games will be played from 5:15 -

to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, beginning May 16.
Play will go on until Saturday, June 23, when all teams in
both leagues will play in a final tournament and receive.
awards. Parents and other interested individuals are en-
couraged to come out and watch Cassiar’s keenest young
athletes in action at the ball diamond.

LIONS DEN REPORT Town Council

By Dave Brocklebank

At the time of writing this column there have been no
enquiries regarding bids for sidewalk repair and if none are
received we may have to table the project to 1985.

We are still in the planning stages for the Cassiar ap-
proaches sign just outside of town. Again a reminder to

everyone who would like inclusion in the Cassiar Wel-

come Wagon Folders to get your information in, both bus-
inesses and clubs.

The playground equipment that we have purchased,
also picnic tables and bar-b-ques, that were to be placed
below the Community Club next to the creek, have been
put on hold for the moment. The reason being, we are
seeking permission to install them in Central Park. This is
because we feel below the Community Club will become
just a “hang out” and the equipment will be abused and
vandalized. Also in Central Park more of the younger
children can utilize the equipment, closer to home, where
parents and others can keep an eye on them, making ita
safer playground area.

We have had a suggestion from ihe community, that |

we install an R.V. dumping station. At present residents
returning from a week-end trip or longer have two choices
—dump alongside the road or at the community dump —
neither one a desirable choice. We are investigating the
most practical and feasible location for such a station.

We are hoping to have a spring clean-up day before
you read this, with all the children’s organizations partici-
pating.

A reminder to you people who have traded your
noisy snowmobile in for a noisy motorcycle—just as you
expect other people to respect your property—so you
should respect other people’s. Especially their ears, and es-
pecially after a reasonable hour in the evening. Remember
we are a town of shift workers who need their sleep, and
there are small children and babies who do too!

‘In an area like ours with thousands of square miles to
roam around in, why pick the townsite to perform in.

It’s that time of year again—shutdown—please secure
your residences before leaving and ask someone to keep
an eye on them.

Have a safe summer!

BEAVERS)

The last Beaver meeting was held*on-Monday, May
14th. The Beavers met to hold a year end party. Much fun
was had by all. On Monday, May 7th, the Beavers made
their Mother’s Day gift, some very ‘good creations were
taken home.

During this past year, Beavers met every Monday,
from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. The hour was filled with a lesson,
usually about nature, craft time and a game. Beavers will
hopefully resume next fall. New leaders will be needed for
the coming year. If you are interested in becoming a
Beaver leader, contact the First Cassiar Scouts Executive.

This past year was a very successful year for the
Beaver Colony. Each boy learned about Scouting and
some are moving up to Cubs for next year. The Beaver
program is a new program in the Scouting movement. It
was started in Canada and has been adopted in several
other countries. All the Beavers wish everyone a safe and
enjoyable summer.
