Page 14 July 1986 Cesetan Courier Lions Sponsor Another Successful Slowpitch & T-Ball Season The Slowpitch and T-Ball Tournament held on June 21, 1986, put a cap on a short, but successful season.

Directed by Janet Lefebvre, the two-act play was greeted with much acclaim by the audience. It starred Bob Lefebvre as “Cliff”, a truck driver stuck in Philadelphia with a broken transmission. Not wanting to waste the unexpected time off, he introduces himself to “Rose” (June Evans), a young woman who works at a candy counter. What he’s looking for and what Rose wants, however, are two entirely difterent things. The dialogue in the first act covered a wide variety of topics but it also highlighted one of the evening’s treats: the emotional range of the characters. The constant shifts in emotion drew us into this unlikely friendship. The monologues were notable; Cliffs for the pacing and Rose’s for the intensity. As Rose neared the end of her soliloquy about the cranes, the audience was hushed and subdued (like the lighting), When the focus of the scene shifted, an audible sense of relief could be heard in the sighs from the on-lookers. aN ft 1g & W Services SUMMER SCHEDULE 6 p.m. Friday open 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Saturday open 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. -6 p.m. i Sunday open 10 a.m. Les Prosser & Rita Wylie ESSO DEALERS Cassiar, B.C. 778-7383 = > . ‘ f Monday - Thursday open 9 a.m. - The second act opened with a wonderful twist. The conflict between the two characters gathered momentum as Cliff tried to find the source of Rose’s anxieties and eccentricities. The final scene found the audience drawn into the couple’s shared vision of the ocean ... and left there. The end was something of a shock. We heard many people, delighted with what they’d just viewed, wondering why there wasn’t more, But the play revolved around the struggle of Rose and-Cliff to find the same plane of existence: once there, the play ends gracefully. One left surprised at the amount of humour in the play, both in the script and in the able ad-libs (who will forget the Bud-Weiser? scene). Mention should also be made of the stark set. It often is easier to design a Re- gency. drawing room than to build an authentic bare, grotty little room. In fact, the entire transformation of the curling club premises into a theatre was remarkable. We were delighted with this production which drew a number of local talents together for a truly. memorable evening. Congratulations to Bob, June, Janet, Walter Comper, and Warren Cocking who comprised the entire acting and technical crew. Well done! : ‘by Kees Van aa Pol < tor” The Cassiar Duplicate Bridge Club ended its 1985-86 season on June 17th with its regular complement of two tables of players. All of us felt very satisfied that we sur- vived the trying times during the year when we desperate- ly were searching for players. Now we are ready to enjoy the summer, during which we can look forward to Tues- day, September 9, 1986 when the third bridge season starts. As the hands on June 17th were rather difficult, which slowed the play considerably, the awards ceremon- ies were short. The following are the trophy winners for the 1985-86 season. Congratulations to all! TOTAL POINTS | Ist - Ed Craft with 91 2nd - Carol Mackin with 80.5 3rd - Kees van der Pol with 72 Sherry Sethen MOST SPORTSMANLIKE PLAYER Our best wishes go out to Carol Mackin who will, no doubt, be spending much of her time with the Whitehorse Bridge Club in the coming years. We will anxiously await the arrival of the ‘loaded helicopter’.

The Haw- kers are making and selling gold nugget jewelry at their shop, The Gold Room, which according to the Grey- mouth Evening Star newspaper is the only gold nugget | jewelry business in New Zealand. Their shop is located in Hokitika — a town which was at the center_of a New Zealand gold rush a century ago. Today the town has a stategic position on the main tourism artery of the South Island. Frank Hawker prospected for gold and did some gold mining in the “second gold rush” in New Zealand in 1979 ‘' prior to coming to Canada. May, 1981, and Frank worked here as mine garage fore- man and general foreman (mine mechanical). While in Cassiar Frank became interested in gold nugget jewelry and took up the hobby during his spare time. Karen and ~ Frank returned to New Zealand last June and Frank’s _ love of gold has led to a full time occupation for them. All of the gold Frank uses in his jewelry comes from si gold fields on the West Coast of New Zealand. Once * every two weeks he sets out to visit a series of gold a claims which supply his needs. The nuggets from the ' Hokitika district are flat gold, ideal for jewelry. Frank !uses few tools in his work — a gas torch, a polisher and ‘some files. His creations include necklaces, bracelets, ,_ tie pins, cuff links - an assortment of items which are , familiar to many residents of Cassiar Country. It’s good to hear of the success of former Cassiar residents and we wish Karen and Frank good luck in " ,their new business adventure! nes EIDE el TRA SC Ta ties ‘ i ee ee ee * rp ne ne eee ee PERN TUR ee > raphe be : é : £ ‘ 5 A sample of the pro- «° duct... 3 tha jng Ai CASSIAR RETAIL STORE HOURS Effective June 30, 1986 to September 2, 1986 OPEN Monday 12:00 noon - 6:00 p.m. Wednesday 12:00 noon - 6:00 p.m. Friday 12:00 noon - 6:00 p.m. CLOSED: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday CLOSED : September 1, 1986 - Labour Day From June 380 - fresh produce truck from Edmonton will arrive on Mondays only They moved to Cassiar in dae PET | % Chaat Courier July. 1986 Page 15 SNOWRIDGE * (cont. from pg. 10) SPORTS DAY Snowridge held its annual Sports Day on June 23. The students participated in 16 teams. Each team consist- ed of approximately 10 students from kindergarten through Grade 6, led by a Grade 7 student. The day start ed around 9:40 a.m. and the students rotated through eight events playing a different team each time. In the late afternoon all the teams came together for a series of novel: ty events. I’d like to thank the parents who helped out, the staff members who ran the events, and the Grade 7 team lead- ers for their contributions to the success of the day. With- out everyone’s help the day would not have happened. SCHOOL SUPPLIES Snowridge students will require a variety of school supplies to start their year’s work next September. Mr. Quinn, manager of the Cassiar Retail Store, has advised us. that the store will be stocking school supplies and ‘selling them at competitive prices. If you are interested in pur- chasing your children’s supplies locally, you should check with our local store before you leave for the annual shop- ping expeditions in distant parts. CLASSROOM ASSEMBLIES Snowridge’s last classroom assembly was held at the end of May by Mrs. Kurian’s Grade 2 class, assisted by Mrs Storie. The Assembly was well received by the students and parents in the audience. At this Assembly, Snowridge’s final Good Show Award for 1985-86 was presented to Damien McGuinness. CP Air Winner Off to Fiji Pat Lanphear, pictured above, was the lucky winner of a trip for 2 to Nandi, Fiji. A trip ticket she had pur- chased as part of a coupon booklet was drawn by CP Air in their Community Campaign. 60% of the proceeds from _ the sales was given to the Cassiar Community Club, who sold the booklets, and 40% was returned to CP Air. Pat isn’t quite sure when she and her partner will be utilizing the ticket, but she’s certainly thrilled about the prospect of a sunny vacation.
