4 NO’S SQUASH TOURNAMENT (NO PRIZES, NO REFEREES, NO ARGUING, NO ENTRY FEE) | Never h had such a motley crew assembled under one roof. The reason? . Cassiar Squash Club was holding a tourna- ment which they called the 4 No’s. (No talent, no finesse,

no: style, no wonder!). It was indeed a strange event. First to arrive on the scene were the Gang of Three -— O. Corcoran, G. Miller, D. Chambers. Following them

came the local RCMP entrants. Mike Cain looked rather solemn and asked why, said that someone had broken into the Police Station, stolen the toilet, and they. don’t have a - single thing to go on! This was sad news. Al Davies over- heard this and added that he too was upset. Apparently two tortoises had come into the cafeteria the day before the tournament, had taken two bran muffins each and run off before his assistants could catch them. All these tales of woe were interrupted by screams of joy at winning a

point on the floor by the Cassiar Bone Crusher — O. Cor- coran, who kept on shouting out “Am ah no a -bonnie

playur rrman?” Obviously the lessons Pat Maguire had been giving him in

Scottish accents and their pronunciation, were indeed paying off. Unfortunately his tactics of play weren't pay- ing off when Dick Chambers won the final game, shook hands and left the court, leaving a despondent bonnie playur rr in the court. But the **Bone Crusher” was not one to be taken lightly, and as he came upstairs to join us, in watching the next game, he flexed his muscles, and dis- playing more bands than a rock concert, let everyone know, “the game is not over vets

On the court downstairs, George Miller and Jim Gilpin were battling it out. George, an accomplished player

gave his all, but Gentleman Jim’s banana style serves baffled George, and proved lethal at times. At one point in the last set when George was fast gaining points, Jim reminded him what had happened to Dave Pewsey, when he had had the edge on Jim — namely that Dave's thigh

was the recipient of a well aimed squash ball, which left’ -

a visible scar resembling that of a bullet hole. For reasons unknown to us all, George suddenly let the last game slip

@way, and Jim was through to the next round.

Prior to the battle of the heavyweights, a more noble

demonstration of squash was being exercised by the ladies

of the Club, who played quietly, purposefully and who were a joy to watch. (No pun intended). Alas, their skill- ful interpretation of the game was overshadowed by the going-ons in the gallery. From threats of ‘beat me and your child will have homework for a week” to a war se which 1 was told originated in the backlands of Wagga Wagga. Ignoring all-this, we waited for the next game, Eric Dussel vs Guy Gregoire. The man from Erick- son’s gave us a golden display (pun intended): of the game - but as to be expected was utterly confused by Guy's left/, right handed shots and serves which hit four walls before "the ball fell to the floor. All of this had Eric wondering why he hadn’t stayed home.

-.and a special treat

This game, we the spectators could have enjoyed, had the noise behind us not become so distracting. The Wagga Wagga war dance was becoming louder and taking on a more sombre note. Another had started ste Eee This was just too much!

Turning to the refreshment Mr. Periard had so graciously donated - a special brew named “’Cassiar Community

Club H,0”, | poured a shot, and focusing attention on the timetable, noticed that Dick Chambers was through to the Finals. His opponent was none other than Gentleman Jim Gilpin. Now, this should prove interesting; knowing Dick’s agile ability and Jim‘s bodily airbarne serves, it be- came obvious that this was a match not to be missed. T'was not to be however, Jim had to go north at short notice which left Dick holding his new $1.49 racket in frustration. Owen offered him some ice cubes to chew on but this didn’t appease the finalist. However, once the jet- set man has returned to Cassiar, the final to end all finals

will be played (sometime later this month) upon a mutual- ly agreed date. The reporter for this column will be there (barring assassination) to give you an explicit, unbiased and truthful account of the match, the day it is played.

In conclusion, let me say, it was a well played tournament with each and every one of the contestants showing their prowess at the game, and no doubt all looking forward to

the next event.

SPORTS FUN DAY

Lots of people, lots of fun!

The Sept. 12th Sports Fun Day was a huge success as there were tournaments, registration, fitness Testing from the Lioness Candy Floss “machine. The Community Club would like to thank all the volunteers on that day, all the participating clubs and, most of ail, the participants. We hope you had fun and have a highly successful and enjoyable season to follow.

BADMINTON CLUB

We are really excited about the formation of the Badminton Club this year. Interest for the sport has been keen for a long time. This year we're lucky to have Atul and Anil Kaul and Olavo Santos to look. after the Club. All three of them have been Gold medalist in the Northern B.C. Winter Games. Atul and Anil are both ranked provincially, as well. There will be a big benefit to join the Club as members will get private badminton club gym time, coaching and can participate in club sponsored tournaments.

The Badminton Club has begun to send out invit- ations to Yukon and Northern B.C. for the Second An- nual Badminton Tournament, which is tentatively sched-

__uled for the Thanksgiving weekend. This year we're looking forward to more and better participation from

the various communities.

MUNITY CLUB

**OCTOBER 5th — GRAND OPENING OF THE CAS— SIAR ARENA. WATCH FOR SCHEDULE!!!

Due to the high operation costs and relatively low reven- ue, the Cassiar Theatre has been closed since the end of May. However, after the shutdown, the Community Club’ has decided to re-open the theatre to serve the public again as interest for the theatre from the com- munity has grown. October 2nd will be the first day of —

- re-opening. ‘However, the theatre will not be open all

week, as before; but rather concentrating on weekends. The theatre will be turned into a conference centre for various groups during the week.

By the way, the first movie shown will be a con- troversial one.

PSST — let you in on a secret. The rec co-ordinator has been trying hard to set up a Tai Chi (Shadow boxing) class. This is a kind of martial art which is employed by thousands of Chinese as a means of exercise. It fits all ages, especially the ones who do not like vigorous exercises. It involves breathing and the usage of force. It is a very peaceful and graceful (almost like ballet) art. Tai Chi, when learned to a very high degree (which takes years and years of practice and eat lots or rice)

can be a means of self-defense. If you are interested, please contact the rec co-ordinator.

Northern _. Lights | College

Well, it’s that time again and it’s time to decide what you :

are going to do to help the cold times in Cassiar go a little faster. Getting out, meeting people and becoming involved in something that really interests you will help. Northern Lights College would like to provide that “something” but setting programs to meet the interests of a majority of residents is very difficult when you do it all by yourself. Ib need. ideas from you. It is not always possible to get those special interest programs as just transportation costs often

make these ‘things impossible for Cassiar right now, but

those ideas are kept and when opportunities arise in the future we will of course make these types of programs
