Coach Pauline Snell will be meeting with the’ club’s executive on September 10th at 6:30 p.m. in the Upper Leisure Room to discuss plans for the upcoming season. Registration for all those interested in joining the club will take place at 7 p.m. following the meeting. Coach Snell said the tentative start-up date is September 17th. She says the format for the club will be similar to last year with sep- arate practices for the beginner and advanced groups. The Jade Mountain Gymnastics Club Cook Book will soon be available in Cassiar. Thank you to all those who helped put the cook book together. Profits from the sale of the book will be used to purchase badly needed new equipment for the club. minor hockey The first meeting co: the Minor Hockey will be held on Thursday, September 6, at 8:00 p.m. in the Upper Leisure Room. We will be taking registrations at that time and discussing what our objectives for the com- ing year will be. We need a new executive and we hope to have the new executive elected at this meeting. Minor hockey is for the kids and without support from parents it is almost impossible to carry on. If everyone helps a little, there won’t be complaints that a few people have to do it all. If you want to support the kids and have a good time with the hockey players, come out and give us your ideas. We want to know how you feel. Ida Walters, President Ron Bruns Telegraph Creek B.C.'

Patients overflowed into our staff room and storage room at one point! We said our goodbyes to summer relief nurse Kathy Reams. who will return for two weeks in September. Yes, we’ve seen quite a few new faces on temporary staff. Rita Thompson filled in the position of lab/x-ray technic- ian while Irene Lueck enjoyed-a few weeks at home in Alberta. Barb Billingsley relieved as hospital attendant and did a good job occupying our younger patients. Sharon Jarvis managed the difficult and at times frustrating job of hospital secretarial duties. Josephine Morris is on staff for casual R.N. duty - a delightful addition to Cassiar Hospital. We have seen renovations galore in the hospital this summer. New chairs, wall prints and coffee tables offer a warmer atmosphere to the waiting area. We coped weil while the hospital was turned upside down for a major paint over-haul. Weill, except for Peter Snell, who is allergic to paint fumes! Congratulations to the bouncing baby girl who arrived into the Snell family August 7, 1984. How did Lil like the new print in her audiometric booth? Only Keith Patton knows for sure. A young doctor who-has just finished his internship will be relieving Drs. de la Mare and Crawford for three weeks while they travel to England and Scotland for a holiday well-deserved. Carol Whiteside. looks forward to her two month L.O.A. in Vancouver. Her replacement will arrive here in mid-August from Vancouver. A hig good-bye and thanks to Patsy Bernier who did a terrific job on reception for nine weeks!

In spite of their disappointing 12-5 loss to the Whitehorse Molson team in the tournament semi-final, the Athletics will go on to bigger and better things this season, as they have been selected to represent the Yukon in the Western Canada Men’s ‘“B” Softball Championship, slated for Edmonton on the September Labour Day weekend. _ This is Western Canada’s premier men’s softball tournament, second in importance only to the “A” national tournament. It is also a very costly_ venture, approached by a fund-raiser wearing a softball cap, don’t be surprised if it happens in the near future. Our team is representing Cassiar, and we need your support. The Cassiar team began the territorial tourn- ament seeded second behind the perennial Yukon champions, Whitehorse Pepsi Challen- gers, a team the Athletics had beaten in the inaugural Cassiar tournament held two weeks earlier. The Athletics helped to justify their high seeding on the first day of the tournament, defeating Watson Lake and Dawson City behind strong performances by import John Hadikun and regular starter John Drzimotta. The second day proved more difficult, as the A’s lost a close one to Whitehorse Molsons, and a not-so-close one to the powerful Pepsi Challengers. However, hopes for a berth in the championship final were still high, hopes that also ended with the semi-final loss to Molsons the next day. so if you have not yet been Following the final game, it was determined - that the Whitehorse Molsons team, which finished second in the tournament, did not have enough players able to attend the Western Canada “B” tournament for which they had qualified. Softball Yukon representatives then asked Cassiar to represent the Territory at the tourn- ament, with a team made up primarily of Cassiar players, and supplemented by six or seven of the best Whitehorse Molson players. Playing coach Eldon Hardy anticipates taking a squad of 18 players to Edmonton, competing under the Cassiar name with the Cassiar emblem - prominently displayed on all uniforms. This is a real first and a real honour for a_ Cassiar team, to represent the Yukon in a tournament of this calibre. The players and coaches wish to thank all of the people of Cassiar who have helped to make our most successful season possible. leo. © ~~ © ~ ~ ~ «= eo oe oe oe > _— Communit SIMMONS LAKE UPDATE For those of you who have camped at the Simmons Lake Campground, you will notice that there are six clear- ings made for campers. Each clearing is equipped with a picnic table, and hopefully by next summer, each site will have a barbecue pit in it as well. More sites are being devel- oped at the campground. It is anticipated that by the end of the summer of 1985 there will be at least 10 sites at the ‘campground. Many thanks to the Lions Club members who have donated their time and effort in building the dock, as well as the shelter. SWIM POOL. The Cassiar Swim Pool will be closed for the season on September 15, 1984. It has been a very successful sea- son for the pool as far as participation is concerned. There have been new programs such as Aquasize, synchronized swimming and diving, where participation has been trem- endous. Also, it is nice to see the adult beginner class and stroke correction sessions are bubbling with enthusiasm. Of course, the Red Cross lessons for the kids have always been successful. Over the summer, we have seen two bronze crosses and four bronze medallions being awarded to the RLSS class. We are also sad to say goodbye to Eric Glyn-Jones, our pool manager and general jack-of-all- trades at the pool. He has left for Vancouver to pursue his education. He will be sorely missed by all those who have frequented the pool. Another successful aquatic adventure was the Cassiar Clippers Swim Team. They have done exceptionally well in the Swim meets they attended. A special mention must go to Warwick Elhorn, who has established a Regional Swim Meet record for boys 100 meter freestyle in his div- ision in Quesnel. On behalf of the Community Club, we would like to thank you for your patronage and we hope to see you again next season. - REC CENTRE CHANGES The Rec Centre will be opened from 1:00 — 8:00 p.m on Monday, September 3, Labor Day. It will be closed to all activities on Tuesday, September 4, as it is being used as the Polling station for the Federal Election. The gym and the squash court will be closed from Wednesday, Sept. 5 to Sunday September 9 for the annual maintenance of the floors. The facility will be opened under normal hours again on Monday, September 10. The swimming pool will be closed on Monday, September 3. WHAT'S NEW IN THE FALL We are venturing into several new areas this fall. If you are interested in areas that we currently do not offer, come in and have a chat with us at the recreation office during office hours. BODY BUILDING — So you might never become another Arnold Schwazenagger. However, it is still possible for you to possess well defined musculature. Or if muscles are not what you want, we can offer instruction for you - to tone up your body. - BALLROOM DANCING — Dancing is not only a great_ social activity, believe it or not, it is also a good way to exercise your body. Learn all the steps in waltz, chacha, tango, fox trot and jive. You might not be the next Fred Astaire, but your body will thank you for it. DRAMA — You dream of a life of glamor and fame. Well, _ we cannot offer you that. However, we do offer you a chance to be on stage: the unique feeling of stage fright that you know you will share with so many big name stars the chance of forgetting a line and, of course, the satisfac- tion to know that you have tried it. Watch out for a fall program pamphlet outlining the plain who to contact, when to register.and how to find out more information. Meanwhile, enquiries on recreation | programs can be directed to the recreation office.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Judy and Ed Duffy for the kind donation of their snow roof for the Simmons Lake Campground. The roof will not only provide a shelter for various events, but will also be used as a barbeque shelter for Cassiar and Area people. Once again thank you, Judy and Ed, for this donation to the Cassiar Community Club. & GP Periard ie ois |e atone eine al as PP AADEN I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lions Members who helped out with the Canada Day Celebrations, working the Beer Garden on the Saturday night, and also setting up a B.B.Q. at a moment’s notice for Simmons Lake on Sunday. The Cassiar Lions Club have donated many hours of labour in assisting with the bleachers at the Ball Park, the building of the Simmons Lake Boat Dock, and the restoration of the Childrens’ Playground at the coruer of Maloze- moff and McDame streets. ‘The children will have many hours of fun once this project is completed. I would also like to thank the R.C.M.P. who assisted with making sure our Cassiar graduates made it safely home following their after Grad party at Chain Lakes. It has been a known fact that when we are put to the test of having to follow the rules of the road, we don’t like it. However, like any other business, rules and regulations have to be fol- lowed in order that everyone benefits by it. I have had the pleasure of working with the local Cassiar R.C.M.P. in various capacities, and have found them very cooperative and helpful on any of our functions staged here in town. Our thanks to the detachment for their help in the past. TRINA -ANNE Cassiar Courier September 1984 Page 9 (y Club News COMMUNITY CLUB MEMBERSHIPS The Cassiar Community Club has always had in its Constitution, memberships that must be paid, in order to use the facilities. From time to time these memberships have increased, due to inflation, and the high costs of Operating a Club of this stature. Over the past year, problems have arisen whereby members have entered facilities and have sat beside people who are intent in using the C.C.C. facilities, however, not paying their fair share. To put this very sore spot with some Cassiar- ites to rest, I will endeavour to stipulate that the membership fee is set by the Club members- ship, and workers in the various C.C.C. facilit- ies are instructed to ask each and every person who enters a C.C.C. facility if they are a member or not. Once you become a member >f the C.C.C. this entitles ‘you to the rates charged for the various programs within the facility, otherwise, the fee is double. In September of this year, a drive will be on in the various facilities to make sure that each person utilizing a C.C.C. facility is a-C.C.C. member. Your cooperation is asked, and we look for- ward to serving you to the best of our ability. Any questions regarding rates per month, or the facilities’ operation, can be directed to the C.C.C. office, located in the Cassiar Recreation Centre.
