“Kermode boys’ coach attracted

Phil Letham hadn’t planned to give up his teaching and coaching chores. at Caledonia Senior Secondary School this year, but he’s going now, ,

*“We hadn't planned to move,

_ but | put out a few applications

and felt if I got something ex- tremely interesting, I'd look into it,’ he told us. ‘Wellington

_ (one of four senior high schools. in Nanaimo) came up with an offer just like I wanted, and it

was just too good to turn down. ‘The building has just gone

‘into into senior secondary status

from junior high.”

Phil said he’ll more or less be starting from scratch, He leaves the triple ‘AAA’ Caledonia Ker- mode boys’ basketball squad in relatively good shape, with top. talent coming up from Skeena junior high.

‘‘Wellington played senior last year without any Grade 12’s, but they had a somewhat

horrible season. I expect to. put

ina three-or-four year building session before tiple ‘AAA’ results show up.’

This was. Letham’s seventh

year here, His first season was at |

Skeena, then he went to Cal high. Prior to this he taught at Lethbridge, Alberta for five seasons. —

We asked Letham if.any year

of the six spent at Caledonia

stood out in his mind,

“‘That’s a tough question,”’ he said. ‘Of course the last team you coached will always have the biggest memory, but I can remember each year as being unique and different to me. They’re all still vivid in my mind,’”

Phil declined to offer his opin- ion on the best player he coach- ed in Terrace. ‘‘Too many,’’ he explained, .

‘*1’m extremely sorry to go — it’s a very sad time for me.’”

He told us he was very emo- tional about it and felt he was leaving a lot behind. . -However, he has left Caledonia: with everything in place for incoming coach Cam McKay. things I had to have done i in my mind.

“It’s an ideal situation for Cam.”’

We wound up our conversa-—

tion with these words from Phil. ‘I'm really torn to leave Ter- ‘race. I just think it’s a tremen- dous community all the . way through. First of all, the young- sters are of tremendous character, and simply put, it’s an outstanding community all roun Departing principal Bill Sturn _offered us some parting words on Phil’s work at his school,

“I feel Phil Letham -is a

special person and the athletes of Terrace were fortunate to have a person of his ability to set up and work with on the Terrace basketball program.

“One of the highlights of my. career here as principal was the recruitment of Phil from Leth- bridge. He had extensive ex-

perience in Alberta and felt he’d -

fit in to our Terrace program. He certainly did,’’ Sturn said.

Terrace’s deluxe bicyclist Mike Christensen was ‘Stana- ized’ at Prince George’s ‘*Tour of Prince George’’ races on June 3 weekend.

The veteran Stana won every- thing and with relative ease.

Stana was well out in front in the opening 90-K road race, where Mike was edged out of
