Page 10 May 1986 Cassiar Courier Community Club News NORTHWEST REGIONAL MEETING by Gary Periard The bi-yearly Regional Meeting was held in Terrace on Friday, April 11, 1986, for the British Columbia Re- creation & Parks Association. ; At this meeting, the dates were set for the presenta- tion of grants for recreation until fall of 1987. At the present time, Cassiar has already been appro- ved for 2 grants (National Coaching Certification - Level 1 and 2 Theory Courses) which will be held in May and September respectively, and 1 (Summer Leadership Workshop) for Students in June of 1986. New grants will be submitted once the need has been determined. However, input by the community would be an asset, and should you request a particular workshop or clinic, please feel free to contact the recreation office at 778-7527. The next Regional Meeting is scheduled for the last week of September. REC ADMINISTRATOR’S MEETING by Gary Periard Cassiar will host the Yukon and Northern B.C.

EDITORIAL WINTER WRAP UP by Gary Periard Although winter is supposed to be over, one wouldn't know it with the amount of snow outside our windows in town. However, it definitely says so on my calendar, and I'm going by that. A lot of Clubs are winding down from the winter schedules, and each year some things happen that make Cassiar a bit more recognized in the outside world. Let’s take a look at some of the things that happened over the season to justify that statement. Basketball in both Boys and Girls improved greatly under the watchful eye of Merv Prier, and Norn Vickery, and this showed during the Yukon Championships, held this past winter. Judo proved how great they have been working over the past couple of years, with gold, silver, and bronze at the Northern B.C. Winter Games held in Smithers in early 1986. Weightlifting and Badminton proved their worth as well at the B.C. Winter Games with gold and silver medals. The B.C, Winter Games were held in Terrace in early 1986. Cassiar hosted their first Northern Friendship Games in March, and they proved very successful, despite the weather. It, was the first time that Cassiar’s Rec League Hockey Tournament was held with the teams all coming from B.C. It was a first for Cassiar with the acquisition of a place on the Northwest Regional Council from the British Col- umbia Recreation & Parks Association. It was the first time for an arm wrestler to represent Cassiar at the North American Championships in Edmon- ton. Figure skating, Minor Hockey, Gymnastics, curling, Cross-Country Skiing, Alpine, etc. - all did well over the winter months and this in turn provided some very worth- while activity and competition. An Arts Council is on its way to being formed in the community and hopefully this will prove successful with lots of volunteer help. The WEST beat the EAST in the Annual Hockey Tournament (AGAIN!), and MR. BUBBLES arrived in Cassiar for the Annual Schmoo Daze Carnival. And if I missed anything, my regrets; however, due to all the activity in 1985-86, it was quite possible to miss something during this wrap up. UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA Mr. Norm. Cosnett, President of the Local 6536 of the * United Steelworkers of America, would like to announce that Karen Brocklebank has been hired as the new Confi- dential Secretary for the Local. The Union would like to express its thanks and gratitude .to Pam Swift, who is leaving this position, and its appre- ciation for all the hard work she has put in. - Karen Brocklebank will begin her new duties on April 16, 1986. The office hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.-m., Tuesday to Friday. TR PT EI Se Te Re tS oa ak by Eric Glyn-Jones and hopefully everyone else has too! To say the worst is over would be a perspective statement, as work has already started to get our favourite swimming hole back in shape for its Grand Opening on May Sth. Along with what we hope will be our best pre-shutdown season, will be the clearing of the ball park and tennis courts. We are already looking at the various leagues for their required times on the field. The registration day for all pool lessons and programs will be on May Ist and 2nd from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The club would like to extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Lorraine Lanteigne, who will be joining us for the pre shutdown season. She brings with her not only her wealth of experience but her happy disposition as well. It’s nice to see you back! On another note, the C.C.C. is now accepting applic- ations for student summer workers. The grants have been appoved, allowing us to hire eight workers for the months of July and August. One position is available at the pool for May and June and students will also be hired for the fall to do the Rec. Attendants position. All students are asked to have their applications in by May 23, 1986, and please keep them neat and informative! A C.P.R. clinic will be offered later this month by Sonja Willits. This is a valuable life saving skill that should be practised by both professional and domestic people. There are new hours for the ski hill, which were effective as of April 7th. They are as follows: Mondays — Closed. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2—5 p.m. and Wed- nesdays and Fridays from 6—9 p.m. Weekends are from 11 a.m.*-4 p.m. The C.C.C. would like to thank all the users of the Arena for another successful season. Some exciting finishes for the season was the Cassiar “A” team beating out the Nannock Warriors from Dease Lake with a score of 8-6 to win the Recreation Hockey League Tournament. Third place also went to the Cassiar “B” team. Other teams competing were the Dease Laké War Chiefs and teams from Telegraph Creek and Iskut. Awards were presented to Garred Huber for Best Goalie, John Driz- imotta for Top Scorer and Rob Williams for Most Val- uable Player. Again an exciting finish for a very success- ful season.

Place the steaks on a platter. Place the slice of foie gras on top of each steak. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Pour Madeira or sherry stock with mushrooms over the steaks and serve.
