The Parent’s Advisory Council held a special :

meeting on June 7th to establish a new board for
the coming year. Present at the meeting from the
former Advisory Council were Heather Fugere,
Lee Coran, Esther Lee, and Bey Evans.

The new members who were elected for a two
year term were Mary Isaaks, Hilde Guderjahn, Mel
Taylor, and Nada Carin. Fred Cousins, Brenda
Ernewein, and Wayne Giesbrecht were elected for
a one year term. Kathy DeCecco still has one year
remaining in her two year term. She is the only
former council member able to continue on the
board. Esther Lee and Bey Evans have resigned
because they are leaving the district. :

Heather Fugere chaired ‘the meeting and wel-
comed the new members. She outlined projects
undertaken by the council in the past two years .
and she listed programs which could be followed
up by the new council.

Dick Chambers as:principal of the Cassiar School.
is expected to attend Advisory meetings as the |

school’s representative but he is not included in
the decision making processes of the council.

He briefed the new members on the function of
the Advisory Board within the Stikine School
District and gave an outline of the structure of
the administration in District No. 87.

It was felt by the Advisory members that the aims

of the Advisory Council should be reviewed . A.

discussion concerning the project of building an
adventure playground as a Year of the Child
Project was discussed.

Members of the Council felt that the meeting
should be open: at least part. of the time to inte-

rested parents and that guest speakers should be.

invited for the benefit of the concerned com-
munity.

“HE MYSTERY

For years and years it’s been dark and cold.
No one lives there, I know not why;

by Danny Andrews

They say some nights you can hear someone cry.

There was trouble there a long time ago,
It happened when the hill was deep in snow.
The man was mad and filled with hate,

No one knows the woman’s fate.

Some people say he took her life,
Others believed he loved his wife.
Then one day she wasn’t around,
Many looked but she coudn’t be found.

The man grew old, his hair turned gray,

After many years he moved away

To solve the mystery there have been many tries.
I often wonder who it is that cries.

A Secret World

by Lori Kamlah

A small girl walked .

The steep creaking stairs,

And opened the door.

Inside was a world of her own.

She stepped through

And shut the door.

There her dreams come alive
Where she sometimes snuck to cry.

She pried open a big brown chest,

Where there lay a picture book,

She picked it up and stared awhile,,
Until she decided to take a look.

’ Inside she found a time gone past,
Of happy faces~*
And different places,
Reflecting visions to ever last.

~ RECREATION RAMBLINGS

TherS iS 16 SE ACHON ae HEP OO these days! On

Friday, July 20th .Cassiar experienced a. mid-day
tropical downpour. The muddy water flowed

under the walls of the Pool building, over the.

decking and into the pool. Within minutes the

entire pool resembled a large chocolate milkshake.

The staff set to work emptying the pool, scrub-
bing it out, refilling it and heating it. But alas.......
problems with the heat exchanger developed.

Soon they were remedied and the pool was open ©
once again. Despite these set backs attendance fig-

ures for July reached 1,720 persons.

~

The Red Cross Swimming lessons are successful -

and many graduates of the July session are en-
rolled in the August session.

Something to look forward to is “‘Fun Day”’ at
the pool on Saturday, September Ist. A very
special day is being planned to mark the closing
of the pool for the season. In addition to the
many races and games there will be a SWIM-
ATHON with all proceeds going towards pool

renovation. Volunteers will be needed either to

swim or to count laps. If you can help call the
Pool at 778-7522 or the Recreation Office at
778-7224.

A Teen Disco Dance was held on Friday, July

young people feel they have to’ follow the ex-
ample. set by many adults in this town and
“booze it up” at dances. I would certainly like to

see a few parents out to help chaperone ae next —

dance.....any volunteers?

PLAYGROUND SCENE

Those children participating in the Playground
program have been treated to a number of special
events.

On Mondays July 23rd approximately 20 persons
connected with the playground were taken ona

- tour of the Cassiar mine. Then on Friday, July ~

27th the children presented a puppet show,

“SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS”:
to parents and interested persons. The puppets,

scenery .and staging. was made by the children

themselves. Unfortunately, there is no visual re-

cord of the performance as the writer’s attempts
at picture taking were disastrous! !

Afterwards lemonade and cookies were served. ee
