Move into the outdoor world and discover your town, and the woods that stretch out for miles, It’s time to work in the yard, lie in the sun and eat peaches. But what about those rainy days and those long-light nights? Perhaps you would like to drop by the Arts and Crafts Centre to see what’s going on. by Connie During the day “Cassiar Youth on the Move ‘80” will be running their grant’ éperations from the Aurora Arts Cen- tre. This will mean the building will be open throughout the day.Evening openings will be advertised on a regular basis in the CCC News, Over the summer months, we will be doing a-lot of work’ on the building - both interior and exterior, That’s one way you can take part. We'll need all kinds of helping hands — carpenters, floor experts, in- terior decorators — anyone who can wield a hammer, a paint brush or a broom. Besides work, we'll have a chance: -to play . The children will have the opportunity of learning a variety of crafts while participating in the playground program of “Youth on.the Move’. For adults we anticipate a Raku pottery- class, a continuing and expanding silkscreen printshop, a group of photographers who will put the darkroom into working order, and anything that anyone will feel free to Suggest, organize and/or participate. In order that the Arts & Crafts Society Board of Directors‘ can continue to maintain a creative relationship with the community at large we would like to introduce you to the new members and re-aquaint you with the old: Barb Cam- eron, Kate Sevier, Vivian Cousins, Sue Chambers, Sherry Sethen, Perry Bringsli, Barbara Buck and Connie Cousins. All of these people are willing to join with you to bring energy and vitality to the building, For three weeks in May/June a group of seven industrious would-be printers gathered to learn the art of silkscreen. This course was run by Chris Bradshaw, who will soon leave his employ as bartender to attend the Emily Carr College of Art in Vancouver. The students built their frames, prepared their silk and practiced a variety of print- ing techniques. You will undoubtedly be seeing ‘‘artist/ proof” prints here and there and will perhaps be treated to an exhibition of work. We're always on the lookout for: Good rags — cotton (diapers are perfect) Old nylons, fabric, wool, etc. Newspapers at al A Fine Dinner by Sue Chambers ° Guests at the May Arts & Crafts Dinner enjoyed a delect- able dinner prepared by Marvel Nitti.

MONTE CARLO NITE ‘by Gale Fugere’ To start with | think | should clear up one fact that was brought to my attention on this night and that is that this was not the Lions Monte Carlo Night, this was the Lions and Lioness Monte Carlo Night. True, the Lionesses have not been involved in every Monte Carlo Night in the past— there has been one every year there has been a Lions Club in Cassiar — 17 years running was the closest approxim- ation | could get. Even the ol’ leaders of the pride them- selves, Reg Ash and Lothar Kutz, couldn’t tell me exactly how many there have been. However, to get back to the point, the Lioness were there this year and very promin- ent, indeed, if not for their tiger suits then for that pink fluffy stuff that Hendrika Brown, Pam Krawczyk and the other ladies brought to Monte Carlo Night to the delight of every young one — and a number of old-older ones! { must admit: that the crowd wasn’t as large as it could have been but those that were there seemed to have a good time. All the booths were busy. The events that were there, for those of you who didn't go and those of you who did but had such a good time you can’t remember, were Clown Ball Throw, Dart Throw, Rifle Shoot, Spill The Milk, Afro Gold, Fish Pond, Bingo, Blackjack, Over. Under and Crown and Anchor. r For my own interest, and that of the public’s, | decided to try and find out at which games there were more winners and at which there were more losers. They had some very tight-mouthed people working some booths! | managed to find. out some and was slightly surprised at some of my own findings. For instance, at the Clown Ball Throw, which personally | think too difficult for even a major leaguer, they were actually having a higher percentage of winners than losers, and mostly small children at that. | managed to obtain the names of only a few bingo win- ners. Unfortunately, some of the winners left before | could get their names or they were too busy playing to notice me asking ‘‘did you win something?” Some of the ones | did manage to get though were Lorraine Baycroft, Diane Forbes, Pat Watson, Pauline Woodrow, Rose Quash, Kathleen King and Mary Tomashewski. Now | ask you, where were all the men? Answer — at the Crown and Anchor! And here, although Ken Spence is very hard to siphon information out of, he did admit that there were more winners than losers. ‘‘Oh, of course,” he said, whether or not you want to believe him is entirely up to you. | happen to know some people did do a bit of losing there. At the Over/Under they were also having more winners. For the Afro Golf it was about half and half and the Rifle Shoot was even losing. As for the Spill The Milk Game, there seemed to be a too high proportion of losers until Don Toth, being the kind-heart- ed man he is; started lending a “helping pitch” and the proportion of winners quickly grew. -Now the moment you've all been waiting for - the tip on whether or not to chance a game of Blackjack! Unfortun- ately though, due tothe marvelous poker faces on the “old pros’ at the tables, it was impossible for me to tell who was losing and who was winning, and the dealers weren't saying! | did receive an ingenious bit of inform- ation from one very friendly fella who said “‘there’s some winners and there’s some losers’. | wish I’d have thought of that! A more helpful hint came though when he told me it depends on the dealer — you can take that one any way you like! : ‘ Good luck to you all next year. a NSE mHZSOnM Deyo, Brenda Brown Since the guiding year has now ended we have to thank various people for their help during the past year. First of all we would like to thank the mothers of the Brownies who have really participated this year. Without their help: having a good organisation would be really difficult. It is certainly gratifying to see so many parents get involved .in their children’s activities. We would also like to thank ex-Cassiarite Doreen Pewsey who, although she has left us, has not forgotten us. Doreen has made many trips to the Guide Shop in Vancouver to get supplies for us. We really appreciate her help. Numerous organisations have helped us by allowing us to use their facilities, we are ex- tremely grateful for their thoughtfulness. We would like ‘to thank the various people of the community who tested . the Brownies for their badges. Most important of all we would like to thank our Brown Owl and Tawny Owl: who. stepped in and filled a gap. Without them there would not have been a Brownie pack this past year. Thank you Debbie and Donna. Thank you also*to Claudia Huber, who attended and helped at every meeting. Since so many people have helped us this year. it is impossible to list them all but we would like you to know that we really ap- preciated your-help.,.. oe sueseso8eccaen- 7 — . - , — — — - —— rn — a ng rg Re ra OSS eQrmaT"""--- ~ * eee ee ——————— rc, lee - — a ee —— . ‘ SAHA TES Back Row L-R: Pamela King, Tamara Mulrooney, Jackie Brand, Tracy Walker, Crystal Brand, Kate Elhorn, Tara Komperdo, Debbie Tracey.
