Page 10 March 1986 Cassiar Courier More Snowridge Elementary School News Airband Concert entertains audience On Monday, February 17, 1986, many of Snowridge Elementary students showed school mates, friends, parents and teachers how truly creative they could be. Fourteen groups presented airband shows that were superb. From Grade | students ‘Smokin’ In The Boys Room” to a group effort of 5’s, 6’s and 7’s “The Boy In The Box”. the-fans were entertained with a- quality concert. It is wonderful to see how our students can act, dance, sing, choreograph and cooperate. The equipment and costumes were fantastic. Every- one who had the opportunity to see our youngsters per- form will surely agree they did a marvellous job. Con- gratulations, performers, on a job well done. by Kees van der Pal There are only two weeks of duplicate bridge to report on. On January 21 there were eight people at the club playing a two-table game with an average of 12. Brock Taplin and Ed Craft came out on top with 14 points. Mario Gimmi and Claudia Huber came in a close second with 13 points. The other two teams were also close, with 11 and 10 points respectively. A week later another two-table game was played, with the same average. This time the partnership of Kelly McPhail and Mario took top honours with a whopping 20% points. With a perfect score being 24 points, Kelly and Mario played an 85.4% game, which is, ! believe, the best percentage play in the two years of the club’s operation. Second place went to Ed and Brock, who had a score of 11% points. There was no duplicate bridge game on February 4 because the two people who had keys to the equipment box were both out of town. Sorry, Carol! There was also no game on February 11 because there weren't enough people to make up the minimum of eight which is required. (Hopefully a certain high school principal in the Stikine school district realizes the necessity of having eight people!) A rubber bridge game was played instead. Let’s hope that in the month of March attendance will increase. - Pete Zazulak For Your Truck and Car Needs Hoskins Ford Sales Ltd.

As you grew older, those mental sign posts in- creased and they now tell you how to react in cer- tain ways without consciously thinking about them. Have you posted enough mental sign posts and do you obey them? Do your mental signs of life tell you to practise defensive driving and not just legal driving? Do they say that the right of way is ours to give and not to take? Do they tell you to watch the car be- hind. you as well as the ones in front of you? Our mental sign posts also mean not condoning unsafe actions by co-workers and members of our family. The words you don’t say could kill or maim. It could mean not taking that unsafe short cut to save a few seconds because such action could earn you an eternity of motionless time. Erect as many mental signs of life as you can by actively participating in your safety meetings. Practise good safety habits on and off the job. Take every opportunity to learn the safe way to cover all of your activities. Be sure that the journey you started on the day you were born is a safe one by placing the right emphasis and directions to your mental signs of life. TIPS Applying ice can help stop bleeding, both when visible and under the skin (bruise). The cold con- stricts the blood vessels and lessens discoloura- tion, swelling, tissue damage and pain. Recreation Hockey By Bruce Leckie With only 2 months remaining in the Recrea- tion Hockey season, it looks as if deciding top position in the league may come down to the fin- al game. It has been a successful season with most games being played. The usual good sportsman- ship and clean hockey has again prevailed over the season. The Oldtimers are on top of the league at this time. They started the season with a roar but have been having a few problems winning lately, due mainly to suspensions and injuries. Second place belongs to the C.C.C. Flyers who are stead- ily gaining on the Oldtimers. They should be able to give the Oldtimers a challenge for top spot. In third place are the P &W Panthers. They started the season slowly but with good draft picks they will be a tough team come playoff time. The playoffs are scheduled to start March 3rd. The format has the second and third place teams playing off to see who meets the Ist place team in the finals. The final scheduled game of the season is the EAST/WEST game. This will be on March 23rd. STANDINGS Team G.P. Wins Losses Ties Pts. Oldtimers 29 16 10 3 35 C.C.C. 27 13 13 | 25 * P&W . 28 10 16 2 20 * *Penalty of 2 points for not supplying referees.

On Saturday, Feb. 8, the relay races were held. Due to the small size of our team from Dease Lake, Cassiar and Iskut we had to put our team in with Kitimat.

Bulkley-Nechaco had the best total time Cariboo came in second place at 41:48 Bulkley No. 2 tied up the bronze at 43:06 Our Kitimat-Stikine team came 4th at 47:14 38:57 In the boys 14-17 4x5 km.

Ferguson, Cross Country Ski Coach HAPPY LOTTO WINNERS Cassiar seems to have it’s share of big Lottery winners recently. Of course, there was Joe Bucar, who won $10,000 in the November Pacific Western Bonus Draw. More recently, Antonio Santos and Larry “Boyes each won Cadillacs in the Super Lotto Draw and Antonio Santos also won $10,000 in the Scratch and Win Lottery. All the winning tickets were purchased from the Lions Club in Cassiar. : JUDO Jennifer Beckett, Girls 12 years, under 135 IbsGold Priscilla Quash, Girls 13 years, 105 to 135 Ibs., Silver Jason Hebert, Boys 13 years, 135 to 150 Ibs., Silver Tracy McDougall, Girls 14 years, under 105 Ibs., Bronze By Fs Tracy McDougall — Bronze Medal 2 Honorable mention for both John Cavanaugh Jr. and Nel- son Hartman who both performed exceptionally well / though did not place in the top three positions. - BANTAM HOCKEY 1st Game, Cassiar v/s Prince George,13-2 Prince George.

Special mention to Danny Walters who had played excep- tionally well through-out the tournament and unfortun- ately was injured in this game by a hard collision with a player from Ft. St.John. Danny skated away from the check but collapsed shortly after, later to be found was the serious news that he had ruptured his spleen. Dan was operated on and has since flown home. We wish him the speediest recovery. ‘ 3rd Game, Cassiar v/s Hazelton, 8-2 New Hazleton. Goals were scored by Andy Carlick from Watson Lake and Chris Buck from Can-Tung. i ’The team played with a lot of heart and it was felt by us, the spectators, that the scores were not truly reflec- tive of the closeness of some of the matches. A job well done with a pat on the back to all the boys who gave it their all. On behalf of the C.C.C. we thank all our athletes, coaches and chaperones for helping to make the Games the success that they were. We all share in pleasure and proudness of our contingency. Special thanks goes to the B.C.N.W.G. staff for an excellent organization of the games and a very special thanks goes to the billets in Smithers who were excellent with our young people and without whom the games would be impossible.
