The bride was given in marriage by her eldest brother, Robert Anscombe. Debra chose for her special day a lovely white floor length gown of chiffon over satin. The gown was accen- ted by a finger tip veil held in place by a white satin cap decorated with a very special bouquet of silk daisies, _ yellow roses and baby’s breath on a white crocheted fan made by her maid of honour, Lenore McArthur of Cassiar. Bridesmaids Michele Anscombe, a niece, Marvel Knuds- lien, and Melinda Dick, a niece, were gowned identically to the maid of honour in long yellow gowns and carried parasols decorated with silk daisies, roses and white streamers. The little flower girl, Holly Ann Dalrymple wore a yellow gown with white lace over top and satin ribbon trim accented with yellow flowers and carried a basket of silk yellow and white roses and daisies. The groom and his attendants were attired in grey suits. The groom wore a Lily of the Valley, Forget - me - not and baby’s breath boutonniere in his lapel. The best man, Brian Dick, and ushers Raulie Holman, Don Larson and Duane Anscombe wore yellow roses in their lapel as did little ring bearer, Michael Larson who carried the rings ona pillow. Mother of the bride, June Holman, was beautifully gowned -in a dusty blue crepe chiffon street length dress accented with peach colored roses. She wore navy acces- sories. A reception followed the ceremony at the Cassiar Recreation Centre where 60 guests toasted the new bride and groom. The bride and groom danced the first waltz to the music of ‘‘Dearly Beloved”. Guests arrived from Cambridge, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta.

Too often prescribed medications are shared by family members ox friends. Sometimes medications are not com- pletely used and are kept in the cupboard for the next time “the flu rolls around”. We're not talking about drugs purchased from the store shelf but prescription medication such as antibiotics. Sharing medications and re-using them at a later date is a dangerous and unsafe practice. Some drugs expire in a short period such as liquid antibiotics. Please take the time to carefully read and follow all the instructions on your medication labels, not share prescription drugs with others, not even family members. Discard all unused portions of prescrip- tion drugs if not taken within the time frame outlined. - Periodically check your medication cabinet and discard those store bought drugs which have expired. Never dump pills into the garbage, but flush down the toilet or down the sink. Any questions regarding your medications will be gladly answered by the pharmacy nurse on duty or your Doctor. Know what you are taking and why. Dorothy Bellou is our new relief nurse at the hospital. Dorothy arrived in Cassiar the end of September from Delta and is full of enthusiasm for the north. Her social calender is rapidly filling up and she’s determined to try just about anything Cassiar has to offer. So welcome and good luck with your adventures in the north. There has been some controversy over the hospital’s outpatient department user fee and as a result a policy has been enforced.. Any patient seen after clinic hours, on weekends, and holidays will be charged a $10.00 user fee. Patients not having an appointment during clinic hours and feel they must see the doctor will also be charged the $10.00 user fee. Treatments carried out in the emergency department which cannot be done in the Doctor’s office will be charged the $10.00 user fee. This includes such procedures as wart removal, mole removal, cast applica- tion etc. Follow up procedures such as suture removal and dressing changes will not be charged an additional $10.00. It is unrealistic to expect everyone who arrives as an emergency to have in his wallet the $10.00 and we will certainly not ask for payment in advance of treatment. The hospital sees an average of 800 emergency patients a year. The Ministry of Health has established the user fee to supplement the income of local hospitals and to curtail the over use of emergency room facilities by non-emer- gency patients. If you need to be seen at an emergency the service is there but be prepared to pay the user fee.. OED) New BSS, Arrivals BORN TO: Gayleen and P. J.

The activity will operate each Saturday morning. between the hours of 9:30 and noon. The only requirements for membership in the club are that the participants be interested; adhere to the rules of safe equipment usage; attend all sessions and be in grades 4to 8. ° Children who are interested in this activity should contact either Mr. Kroeker or Mr. John before Thursday, October 24.

The meetings purpose was to allow the community to discuss and express its views on the CARE Program, a program designed to at- tack sexual abuse of children. The program was presented to the community of Dease Lake. Ms. Henderson fielded many questions from the audience. In the end no de- cision was asked for by the meeting’s organizers as the School District has decided to defer action on this pro- gram until next Spring. Any one who wishes to express their feelings about this program should contact any of Cassiar’s or Good Hope Lake’s Trustees, Mrs. Pauline Snell, president of PAC, or Mr. Keith Lanphear, Superintendent of Schools. THE NATURE OF THINGS The Ministry of Education wishes to bring the new television program,“The Nature of Things’, hosted by Dr. David Suzuki to your attention. The Ministry of Education feels that the program will present a number of topics of interest to children (and even grown ups!) on science and ecology themes. For your information, the program is aired on CBC on Wednesday evenings at 8:00 PM starting on October 9th. ; | Now Offering A Special l Double Your Pleasure \ Double Your Sun This Special is almost double for the price of one REGULAR FULL TAN PACKAGE: was 8 ses- sions, total time 150 minutes for $79.00 19 must have parent’s consent.

Vickery presented Snowridge School’s first as- sembly of the year. If the reactions of the parents and students in attendance was any indicator, the grade ones charmed their audience. Well done, kids!” Mr. Gord Becket spoke to the assembled students about fire safety. It was Mr. Becket’s hope that all the households in Cassiar participated in National Fire Safety Week and reviewed how to safely evacuate their houses in the event of a fire. As part of a contest sponsored by the Cassiar Fire Department, students mapped their houses and decided how to escape in the event of a fire. All participants entered their names in a draw to become Honorary Fire Chief for a day. The winner was Riky Bilodeau. On Wednesday, October 18th Riky and Mr. Becket went to the cookery for lunch and then toured the Fire Hall. Also at the assembly we held the first Good Show Draw of the year - 85 students were nominated by their teachers. Two winners, Jackie Roblin and Aarron Ander- son, each received a Snowridge Good Show Cap. ROAD SAFETY Winter has arrived at last, if the white stuff on the ground is any indication. In preparation for more snow © and heavy plows on the school’s drives, the bicycle racks have been put away for the winter. For this reason but mostly because of the slippery road: conditions, parents are asked to encourage their children to leave their bikes at home until Spring comes again. Snowridge has a crowded parking lot. This is es- pecially the case in the mornings when children are walk- ing up the driveway and congregating in front of the school, parents are dropping their children off, and the school bus is arriving. Parents who must drive up the school’s driveway are asked to be especially cautious now that the slippery weather has returned. Parents who must come into the school in the mornings are asked to avoid parking their cars in the path of the school bus. The bus must make a loop around the parking lot if it is to get into and out of the parking lot without dangerous backing up.
