B),,. Page 12, June 1980 Cassiar Courier COMMUNITY CLUB NEWS “The Retrveat 4 | | SOFTBALL SHEDULING Since there was a lot of conflict over the use of the soft- ball field last summer, the school and the Rec Centre have decided that this year the field by the School will be used | for Soccer exclusively. The other field by the tennis courts will be used for activities such-as softball, T-ball, etc. Also, a horseshoe pitch has been put on the softball field at the tennis courts end. To eliminate conflict in us- ing these fields, we ask those who use them to book their practices and games ahead of time at the Rec Centre, This will ensure everybody has a good time and less hassle , when they use the fields. P| YOUTH GRANT This year the Community Club has obtained a grant from the government for summer employment for Cassiar Youth, The title of the Grant is ‘“Cassiar Youth on the Move ‘80. The Rec Centre is accepting job applications until June 2, Interviews will be set up at the School on June 9 and 10. On Friday, May 30, a much needed community service was opened — the Retreat Dining Lounge. Thanks to Garry Perriard always being: in tune to the wants and needs of the community, we have for the summer months, a delightful place where we can take guests and meet friends for a quiet evening. From the time you enter, where you are met at the door by a friendly attendant, who shows you to your seat, until the time you leave, you are made to feel that you are number one. The whole at- mosphere is one of quiet class. The simple elegance of the red and white decor, the hanging plants and soft back- ground music set the stage for a most enjoyable evening. Pat Watson, our very able hostess-waitress, helped by her assistants Frank Nuyens and Olavo Santos, supplied not only excellent, but unsurpassed service throughout the evening. For those of us who know Garry and his cul- inary art, it was not a surprise, but an awaited pleasur- able experience, as course after course of mouth-watering food was brought forth to tempt our palates. From the _ excellent salad bar through to the magic gateau of Chery! Davies, Cassiarites who partake of this newest addition to our community can only say ‘“‘Bravo, well done”. by Sherry Sethen The Government has agreed to provide a sum of $14,000 towards this project. A total of ten students will be hired. The Grant commences on June 30 and will be completed by August 29, 1980. The project will provide Cassiar youth with career orient- ing work, such as landscaping, painting, carpentry, play- ground leaders, etc. This will hopefully provide those who are hired a background knowledge and training to prepare themselves to step inta the work force in the near future. | PRO SHOP The Pro Shop in the Rec Centre is now operating.

My family is a group of five people that care and love each other all the time, not just on Christmas or Easter but every day and even when we're fighting and not talking to each other. My family and | share something that | could not get from anyone else - love, a home, caring, a mother for caring, a brother and sister for fighting, a father for teaching me how to fish properly and teaching me every- thing he knows so | can be just like him. Z * by Preston Radford Grade 6 Ma My My family are people | can trust and are people that | care for. Even if we have our differences we still love each oth- er. We share problems, jokes, thought and feelings. My family may fight, but we are still close, as one, Every fam- ily has problems, some more than others. When we are away from each other and when we are together we are once more happy. The special thing about my family is even if we are separated we are together in thought, so we can never be separated. If we are parted we are parted only physically, not mentally, My family goes through thick and thin, but still my family means everything to me. ‘by Sandy Andrews Grade 7 owe My family means a lot to me and if something happened * to anyone in my family, even my dad, | would never get over it, | don’t think, well not completely. Anyhow, my family is very close but we do have our own opinions and ways and sometimes we fight but it doesn’t mean that we stop loving each other. We never stop loving each other because we have love and understanding with each other, | know my family loves me because they show it. If they didn’t love me they wouldn’t put up with my problems and, believe me, | have a lot. They put up with me when | was 3 or 4, yelling and screaming and writing on doors. | can tell my family loves me and | know that they know that | love them. | come from a very sheltered home but | like it like that. There sure aren’t many parents that will give you five dollars because you want to go to the movie and you're broke or buy you a brand new ten speed bike just because your brother is getting one. | love my family because we share our love, our hope and our Gplnione, . That's what my family means to me. by Bev Deyo, Grade 7 ORF A family is when two people unite and have children and > they are always together. Sharing their love with each other and their children too. Whenever one gets hurt they would be there to ease the pain or just to comfort him. A family does not have to be made out of a mother and father. It can be made out of a mother and child or father and child. When two are separated the child is heart-brok- en, then she or he decides who she likes, then goes to lead a new life. So a family is made up of love, sharing and’ un- derstanding each other as well as showing courtesy in any loving way. When a fight occurs there will always be for- giveness, by Gilbert Inkster Grade 7 FAMILY SWIM & PICNIC The family picnic/swim started at 2:00 p.m.on Sunday, June 1st. Although billed as a family occasion, disappoint- ‘ingly enough, only a few parents showed up. Majority of the participants were young children. However, this was enjoyable to all. those who were there. The Swimming Pool was opened to all and there was no admission charge. This had an obvious boost on the sale of hamburgers. General praise was given to Gayleen Rattray, our gourmet hamburger/hot dog chef. Credit should also be given to Mary Connolly for her expertise in setting up the fire, Mary Comper for keeping a tight watch on the - cash box, and Henry Giroux and Stewart Carswell for their muscles and, last but not least, Father Pauwels for organizing they volunteers. The Rec Centre would like to thank the individuals men- . tioned above for helping to make this event a success. “ ¥, \ A P . 7 eee eee eee eee ae —— — -_ — “ ‘< = —— : — 8 SSS —SS - eee ee eee SS eee a af an . . ee — — - — a - — = _ . —— eee aaa — — . —~ — - . ° Sig eg A ggg I I i ig Nr = — ee —————— —SE—- SES ee i a ee Ng nr iy gg EE IIE a RY ER A yt HE gn oe ;
