- “Snag” Dymianiw. That amusing nickname, given
to him by his friends at CBC, is taken in stride by the
radio sportscaster.’ It refers to one unsuccessful
fishing expedition out onthe salt chuck, and un-
fortunately, its rare usage around CBC is mollified by
Dale Dymianiw's proficiency in the rivers and creeks
of B.C.’s Northwest. .

That spring afternoon just a mile or so off Tugwell

Island is, nevertheless, unforgettable. Dale, ac-

companied by Peter Lockyer, set off in a’ small
aluminum slaff. Dale acquired that vesse] when he
pirchased his home in Prince Rupert. It was left,
somewhat injured, alongside his house, and after a
few initial tests around the harbour, powered by

.Peter’s small outboard motor, it was deemed safe for
short trips. It was safe as long as the bailing can

wasn’t far out of reach. . .

.. On the fateful day, former news reporter Leslie
Yates and I set off in Leslie’s sturdy 27-foot cruiser,
heading for the same fishing spot as Peter and Dale,
-all of us in search of the’so-far illusive salmon. Dale's

equipment, like ours, included flashers, heavy line,

therring rigs, spare hooks and plenty of big, fat
weights. We should have all sayed home,’ After

fishing for sports
repeated passes outside the Tugwell kelp beds, Peter
and Dale could be seen bobbing on the ocean, trailing
line from the back of their hapless craft. That’s when
Dale earned the nickname “Snag”. The balance of the
‘afternoon was spent (at least by Dale), retrieving
‘snagged gear from the bottom of the sea. Great
"physical exertion was applied, accompanied by strong
vocal.effort, but, to. ne.avadl.The gear resisted, and
jater, new gear wagmpplied,-and:it {o0-remained. on
ttom. . iy
Dale has since resigned himself to better success on

land, or at least close to shore, clad in rain gear and
chest waders. And that's where his luck has been.

When his work at CBC is finished each Friday, Dale
ventures inland, to the Skeena, the Tseax, Cranberry,
Kispiox or Lakelse Rivers, skilfully placing hook and
roe within range of the big steelhead or coho salmon.
Sometimes he travels alone, deep into bear country,
with nylon tent and sleeping bag, seemingly unafraid
of black or brown bear, confident that this is where the
fish are, not cut in the ocean with the kelp and the rock
bottom. ;

Fishing is just one of Dale's hobbies. He's an ac-
complished squash player, hockey coach, cook,
macrame maker and stained glass carver.

At work, it’s Dale’s job to round up as much of the 1

pertinent sports information as possible, sift through
it and bring it to the listener’s attention dally, Monday

through Friday on ''Northwest Morning” and ‘Pacific ©

Noon”’. ;

As well as gathering sports reports from other-CBC
announcers across-the country, Dale also contacts
high school students and coaches from the towns and
villages within CBC’s listening area, and brings local
and community sports news to listeners. :

Perhaps the biggest sports events of the year are the
All Native Basketball Tournaments, held at Prince
Rupert's Civic Centre. That’s the place where Native
teams from Washington, British Columbia and Alaska
gather to play off for the honour of being best. Dale’s
weeks of preparation and planning yield a Saturday
night live sports broadcasting, and listeners from
Ketchikan to Kitkatla and Kispiox to Port Clements
ean hear how their children, brothers and sisters fared
on the basketball court.

At the end of a day’s work, you can spot; Dale
heading for a baseball game, a hockey practise, or
another bout with the salmon and trout of the Terrace
area, And, with a little good luck, the result will be a
couple of fat fish for the fryer or a smoked salmon to
share with friends. And they're still friends, even if
they doremember the day he was first called “Snag”.

Police. chases

circumstances in which
police officers can legally
engage in highspeed car
chases came under close
scrutiny Monday at a pro-
vincial court trial in this

municipality south of
Vancauver. a
Surrey RCMP Constable

Jan  Vandenborn was
charged with dangerous
driving after a police vehicle
was in an accident which
resulted in the death of
Michael Varelis, 28: Van-
denborn has pleaded not

guilty.

Judge John Drysdale
briefly convened his court at
the North Delta location of
the Noy, 28, 1978, fatal ac-
cident, explaining that he
wanted to familiarize
himself with the location. He
spent about 30 minutes at the
Intersection, pacing off dis-
tances and checking the line
of sight.

Court has been told that

Vandenborn was chasing a—

car in the early-morning
hours, ran a stop sign at the
intersection and rammed the
Varelis vehicle as it crossed
the intersection.

Vandenborn earlier told
the court his dome light was
flashing as he approached
and went through the in-
tersection at about 107
kilometres an hour, He
testified that he did not turn
on his siren as he ap-
proached the junction.

The constable’s lawyer,
EdScarlett, told the court in
his final argument that
Vandenborn was authorized

the limit and run the stop

sign.

He argued that the act
allows police in conducting
their duties, in effect, to
disobey the Provisions of the
Motor Vehicle Act, although
he conceded that they are not
permitted to engage In
dangerous driving.

“Thecircumstances of this
ease, are extremely
unusual,"’ Scarlett sald. “A
police officer has been
charged as a result of his
activities while on duty.”

Prosecutor Al Hoem
argued that the Metor
Vehicle Act, although it
authorizes police officers to
disregard rules in certain
circumstances, does not
permit them to drive un-
safely,

Hoem described-Varelis.as
an innocent man who ob-
served the law by obeying
the stop sign. |

Hoem said Varelis, who
had the right-of-way at the
four-way stop sign, was
killed because the constable,
although his siren was not
sounding, ignored the stop
sign.

The prosecutor noted that
Section 123 of the Motor
Vehicle Act states, that a,

under scrutiny
| Regulations ‘governing the

driver of an emergenty
vehiclé may exceed the
speed limit, proceed past a
red tratfic-control signal of
stop-s! n without stoppin
ani sregard rules an
traffic-control devices. ©

However, he said, the act
also states that the driver af
an emergency vehicle
not exercise ach ticle
unless Is sounding an
audible signal bell, siren, or
exhaust whistle and Is
showing a flashing red light.

Hoem said the act also
gays the driver of an
emergency vehicle should
drive with due regard for
safety.

Evidence during the trial
indicated that Vandenborn
briefly sounded his slren well
before he reached the In-
tersection, He said he saw
the Varelis car stopped at
the junction and assumed it
would wait for him to pasa.
