It’s hard to yell _ into a deaf ear.” “The hit-to-pass race lived up to its name. Tyrel flipped onto the driver’s side, keép- - ing Grant Stewart from passing him on the — front stretch. -The whole Orango pit crew, mostly - women, strained to heave the car back onto its wheels. Dollemore’s car overheated as he pulled ' back into the pit. As he dumped water into the steaming radiator, he said the engine temperature had risen to over 300 C from the long wait before the start. On the restart, Tyrel passed without hit- ting Stewart. - Stewart's car.conked out on the first cor-- ner and managed to get moving despite a. crunched front end, but slowed to a-halt on the back stretch before the third corner. Tyrel took a big hit from brother Jona- . than and the pair. piled into the second corner _ infield. Al Stewart: drove his car to the win. ~The appliance 1 races proved to be the Pre- “ mier redneck event. Pit crews: ‘strapped an appliance to the. ‘ car trunk for one trip around the track, then secured a. second appliance to. the roof for another lap, and finally, belted a third ap- _ pliance onto the right side of the hood for three laps. - The vehicle who crossed the finish with the most appliances still attached won. Off to a slow start for the first two laps, Tyrel zoomed ahead and into the pit first to pick up his third appliance . ' He took off quickly and led the rest to the win. Dollemore was the only. driver to lose an ; appliance. ° The Crazy Canuck, Colin Heacock of Calgary, Alberta, sped his red car around the track to gain enough speed for his jump off a ramp into the middle of 10 cars painted like a Canadian flag. “When he hit the ramp, a pyrotechnics’ crew set off a plume of grey smoke for his ‘car to soar through. However, the vehicle flipped off the ramp and crashed upside down into the first car.” “That wasn’t the way I wanted it to turn out but that’s okay,” Heacock said after _ climbing out of the vehicle unhurt. He said he felt the back wheels spinning . before the accident. Heacock’s safety coordinator Jaime Car- roll said it appeared the right side of the ramp collapsed. . ° Gravel laid down to even out the ground . beneath his wheels should have been packed - down more solidly so it didn’t give way, he 7 said. >, - “Overall » it worked ‘out all. right. ‘He walked out'so that’s a good thing,” Carroll said. ' Stock car racer Adam Waters said he be- - lieved Heacock’s tires were only partly on the ramp. Heacock, who has successfully complet- . ed two jumps, said he might return: if Pro- moters ask him. core Board | “Terrace Stock Car Association race results” Saturday, June 11:winners: | Pro Stock heat - lan Black Pro Stock main ~ lan Black fA” Thunder heat - Joe Orango _ yn Thunder main’- Joe Orango | -“B” Thunder heat - Tyrel Orango -“B” Thunder main - Kris Sweet eae Bomber heat - Shane Severeid ~~ §\" Bomber main - Stan Sweet race route ‘who -want to check out the ‘biking course prior to the Halliwell Ave. and race to “B” Bomber heat - Kris Sweet ““B” Bomber main - Kris Sweet. : Challenge bikers get AngiersAtia com “C" Bomber (ladies) heat - Kat Finnie “CG” Bomber (ladies) | main - eid’ Sunday, June. 12: winners: _ Hit-to-Pass trophy dash - Al Stewart ‘ Bag Race - Dan Dollemore . ‘Appliance Race - Tyrel Orango a and his _three woman pit crew : Reverse Race - AlStewart _ Best Car Rollover - Adam Waters Hit-to-Pass Main Event - Al Stewart n 2003 Fisheries and Oceans biologists surveyed Lakelse Lake, and observed low levels of juvenile sockeye salmon in the lake. previews The preferred food source for juve- PARTICIPANTS in this year’s Adventure Challenge biking events have a chance next week to ride the two courses prior to race day. “There are a lot of people event,” says organizer Sarah Zimmerman. “The rides will o4 t give racers: a chance’ to see (104 feet) due to the high numbers of the mysid what they are in for — partic- asa shrimp N. mercedis, which.was most ; -® 77 metres P ularly for the Psycho Cycle, (253 feet) abundant in August. which is a new event .this Survey Date “We estimate that the large. mysid year.” © 1976 ..- population in Lakelse Lake reduc- : . es its sockeye rearing capacity b' ‘The Psycho Cycle see tht 40%." y B capaey OY © Fee bikers start at the arena, ride up to the Terrace Mountain.

Steve Cox- Rogers, with Fisheries and Oceans in Prince Rupert, suggests reduced spawning habitat in tributaries may be another factor contributing to the decline in sockeye production. “I suspect, that spawning habitat issues might be more relevant given the recent and documented changes to flow regimes in several Lakelse Lake , spawning tributaries,” reports Cox. ‘ WATERSHED SOCIETY een lakeside residents ‘con- cerned with future health of Lakelse’ Lake have formed a water- shed society. This group is working with government agencies to develop a Jake management plan. Ian Maxwell, president of Lakelse Watershed Society, identifies the invasion of canadian pondweed and the decline in fisheries as the two top priorities of the group. The group operates a volunteer lake Monitoring program . which collects valuable water quality on the lake. The group also participates in other studies, such as taking sediment core samples, which are used to recon- struct the ecological history” of the lake.

Historically, a few efforts have been made to stock Lakelse Lake. In the 1920’s, stocks of Atlantic salmon from Miramichi River were released into the lake, Another stocking effort was made in 1940, when 25,000 eyed egg rainbow trout from Pinantan Lake were released. These are the only stocking records for Lakelse Lake, and current species come from ‘naturally reproducing stocks.
