8 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 13, 1986

Two world records for Paul Clark.

Collecting gold medals
is getting to be a regular
habit for 28-year-old
Terrace optician Paul
Clark. During the last
week of July, Clark
added four more golds to
his trophy cabinet at the
Stoke-Mandeville dis-
abled games in England.

Clark also notched his
name in the record book
for two of his races. The

wheelchair “athlete: set
world records for class
two in the 1500 and
400-metre races.

Clark's time of four

minutes, 27.6 seconds:

was three seconds faster
than the old 1500 mark.
His second effort re-
sulted in a 400 time of
one minute, seven

seconds. This cracked

Tubbers to
race from

Prince
Rupert
to
Masset

If the event happens, it
would go into the record
books as the longest
bathtub race in the
world.

Prince Rupert’s Peter
Marshall hopes it will
happen on a good-

weather day sometime’

before the end of August
when at least five
bathtub enthusiasts will
enter the water at Prince
Rupert harbour and
head west to the Queen
Charlotte Islands.

Plans call for the tub-
bers to take about six or
seven hours to complete
the jaunt to Masset. And
they’I] need calm
weather because Hecate
Strait storms can whip
these waters into a frenzy
in mere minutes.

The distance is
estimated at 100 miles,
which is longer than the
racing distance for the
Nanaimo to Vancouver
summer classic.

Marshall is currently
negotiating permission
from the Coast Guard
for his dream race. He’ll
have numerous rules and
regulations for the event,
but feels it will be worth
all the effort if the race
comes off.

Marshall points out
that a successful first
race would generate in-
ternational acclaim, and
eventually provide an an-
nual event that could
possibly surpass the
Nanaimo festival.

Bathtub racers can still
enter the big race. Phone
Marshall at 627-1098 for
more information.

By his third race,

won the gruelling

missed a world mark by

Creek valuable
fish habitat

TERRACE — §Schul-
buckland Creek is
located at the southeast
comer of Lakelse Lake
and is highly valued. for
sockeye, coho, steel-
head, and trout. The
grade is not too steep
and the sandy to fine
gravel bottom gives the
stream good spawning
area capability. Also at
the south end of Lakelse
Lake large swamps
dominate the area to
provide reed beds for
fish habitat. These
benefits help to make the
nearby clearwater and
Andalas creeks into good
fish rearing streams.

During introductions,
ijt was pointed out that
Clark was one of five top
performers named for
the meet, and one of two
athletes’ managing to
pick up four gold
medals. A Canadian
Wheelchair Sports
Association spokesman
told us that his remarks
were well received.

Minor baseball

From England, Clark
and his fellow athletes
flew to Gothenburg,
Sweden, where they
started competition at
the 10-day world: dis-
abled games beginning
Aug. 6.

Clark will be racing in
the same events that he
raced in at Stoke-
Mandeville. It’s quite
likely we'll see more
world records for the
popular athlete.
