Kenny Lally wanted to become an Olympian before he even started boxing.

The sweet science became his avenue to try and repre-sent Canada at the Summer Games. Ten years after step-ping in the ring for his first carded match, the 23-year-old Prince George product has reached the century mark in bouts.

“I always knew I wanted to go to the Olympics, but I didn’t know what sport,” Lally says. “I tried soccer, basketball, hockey. I was always good at each sport, but I was never great. Then when I joined boxing, I excelled very quickly, and I had a knack for punching people in the face.”

Lally’s 100th fight was in Serbia in April. He lost a

decision against Ivanov Stefan of Bulgaria to drop to 87-13. His first carded tilt was during the 2003 BC Bronze Gloves in Surrey, a defeat against Darcy Forsythe of Maple Ridge.

In between his first and most recent match, all Lally has been doing is a lot of winning. He’s been dominant at the national level, a five-time Canadian champion who’s been a member of Boxing Canada’s elite team since 2010. Still trying to become an Olympic boxer, he’s faced stiffer tests internationally.

Asked to point out his proudest moment in the ring, one fight stands above the 99 others.

At the 2010 Elite Continental Championships in Quito City, Ecuador, Lally defeated Cuban A team member Marcos Forestal in a 54 kg semifinal match. Although he went on to lose in the final of that event, he can still remember the thrill of pulling out the slim 2-1 victory

over Forestal.“Beating that Cuban, that was the highlight of my

career so far,” Lally says.Lally experienced something different the previous

year. But it’s been remembered for an entirely different reason.

In 2009, Lally suffered a defeat outside of the ring. He and training partner Jag Seehra were beaten by the scales at the Final Team Selection in Edmonton. They each weighed over the maximum requirement to box. Lally fell painfully short, missing the 51 kg class by one tenth of a kilogram.

Looking back, Lally calls the disappointment of miss-ing weight the best thing to happen to him. He refers to it as a wake-up call.

“Everything I do revolves around boxing now.”Lally hoped to quality for the 2012 Olympic Sum-

mer Games in London, England. Once that opportunity passed, his attention turned to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“Everybody has a dream and I was so close to my dream,” Lally says. “Just to have that title Olympian, that sticks with you for the rest of your life. Not too many people can have that title. It would feel good.”

BEGINNINGSince he started boxing in 2003, Lally has been training

under coach Bob Pegues.Pegues says he had a swagger even as a

13-year-old who just started training at the Inner City Boxing Club.

“Most kids are shy and Kenny walked in like he owned the place.”

Lally’s friend Dan Cannon introduced him to the Inner City Boxing Club. Lally would eventually become hooked to the sport and has developed a close relationship with Peg-ues and Seehra.

What’s helped Lally reach higher heights than most amateur boxers is a strong men-tal game, according to his coach. Pegues

says that Lally thinks in real time all of the time.

Lally’s build is a bonus.“Physically, he’s abso-

lutely perfect for the sport,” Pegues says. “He’s strong upper body, shoulders, arms and very lean lower body.”

INFLUENCESLally gives his family credit for their

support over the years. He also knows he wouldn’t be the boxer he is today without the guidance from Pegues and coaches before him.

Seehra has also provided a boost.

“Without Jag, I don’t think I would be where I am because he’s pushed me so much,” Lally says. “When there’s days I don’t want to train, Jag is right there. He motivates me. When I see Jag doing it, I want to do it. I want to thank him more than anybody.”

When Lally started training in the sport, the Inner City Boxing Club was located inside the Roll-A-Dome. To help build success at the international level, Pegues started focusing on coaching Lally and Seehra, moving training

from the Roll-A-Dome to the Northern Sport Centre in 2009.

Pegues notes that having teammates who are close to the same weight class helps run training sessions.

“They value each other for sure, but I’m not sure (Lally) knows the importance of having a guy who’s at the gym with him all the time.”

NEXT BOUTLally’s 101st fight is scheduled for May 11 at

the Northern Sport Centre. He’s moved up a weight class to battle Hector Rendon of Tacoma, Wash. in a 60 kg senior open bout.

The match is one of the main events at the Inner City Boxing Club’s Night of the Champi-ons event.

“He’s aggressive and he has a wicked left hook to the body,” Lally says of Rendon. “He just comes straight forward, so I’ll move around, but I’m stronger now too. If he wants to bang, I’ll bang with him, give the crowd a good show.”

FUTUREWhile most amateur boxers quit before they

get close to 100 fights, Lally believes he has a lot more bouts left in him. But he also knows the time may come when he decides to hang up the gloves.

With so much on the horizon in boxing, Lally isn’t planning that far ahead yet. He says he’d be interested in opening his own gym.

The 100-match milestone is some-thing Lally’s coach never came close to reaching. In 32 carded fights, Pegues has a record of 28-4. He’ll have his first bout in nearly 38 years when he takes on Mikey Sims of Salmon Arm in a masters match at the Night of the Champions.

“It’s just a blur of leather punches now,” Lally says. “But there’s a lot of memo-rable shots that I’ve taken and given, and it’s just nice having my first fight in Sur-rey and having my 100th fight in Serbia, that just shows, hard work, dedication, stick to it, you’ll get places.”

Youth lacrosse players in the city had the oppor-tunity to learn from professionals last month.

Chris Gill and Dan Stroup, former players in the National Lacrosse League, put on a lacrosse skills camp at Kin 3. Ninety-six players registered for the event.

“We’ve done it before, but we haven’t done it in the last few years,” Gill said of holding a Prince George camp. “Moose (Glen Scott) gave me a call maybe two months ago, and just kind of said, ‘Would you be interested in doing it?’ We just talked from there and it’s been a couple of months now.”

Gill and Stroup, a pair of Lower Mainland resi-dents, talked about the response from players during a break between a morning and afternoon session.

“So far we’ve had the morning group, the novice and peewees,” Gill said. “We didn’t know what to expect, how the talent level was going to be, and we were pleasantly surprised at how skilled the kids are. There’s a lot of them so lacrosse definitely isn’t dying up here, that’s for sure.”

The coaches planned on getting into more advanced drills for the older age groups in the afternoon.

“We’ll get a little more technical, more pick and rolls, more options, stuff like that,” Stroup said. “But it’s good to start with the basics.”

Gill, a 41-year-old Coquitlam product, had a 14-year professional playing career. During that time, he won three National Lacrosse League championships (1999 and 2000 with the Toronto Rock, 2006 with the Colorado Mammoth). He also played for Baltimore, Ontario, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Stroup, a 44-year-old from Burnaby, played in the

NLL for 13 years. As a player, he won four NLL titles (three with Toronto and one with Colorado). He also won the NLL Champion’s Cup as a coach, helping guide the Washington Stealth to the playoff title in 2010. He was inducted in the NLL Hall of Fame in 2010.

“We want to come up here and do more, so hopefully we can get a turnout, have the kids and parents enjoy what we’re doing and build on it for next year and the year after,” Gill said. “That’s only going to help the game up here.”

The Wheelin’ Warriors of the North are still a couple of months away from the Ride to Conquer Cancer, but they’ve already got one big fan.

“The Warriors are a great new addition,” BC Cancer Foundation president and CEO Doug

Nelson says of the local group of bicycle riders. “They have set themselves an ambitious goal for fundraising.”

The local team will be among the riders travel-ling from Vancouver to Seattle on June 15 and 16.

“We’ve seen participation go up every year,” nelson says, “and we don’t expect this year to be any different. In the first four years, we raised

just under $40 million, and this year we figure we’ll go over the $50 million total.”

The foundation is partnered with the BC Cancer Agency and, Nelson says, “wherever there’s a cancer centre in the province, we work with the agency.”

The foundation is the largest funder of cancer research in the province, he says.

“We put funds into all aspects of research, from genome map-ping to early detection to survi-vor issues.”

Participants in the Ride to Conquer Cancer have to raise a minimum of $2,500 to take part, but Nelson says there is a lot of flexibility in the use of the funds.

“Every participant has the option to designate where spe-cifically the funds they raise go. They can designate them to a tumour site, to a specific area of research, or to the Partners in Discovery Fund.”

The fund works with the BC Can-cer Agency to identify the areas of highest need in research, support-ing the high-priority areas with the funding it receives.

“In 2009, the foundation put money into some research projects. Now, just a few years later, people are receiving different treatments for their cancer because of that research.”

While the Ride to Conquer Can-cer and the BC Cancer Foundation

have done a lot of good work, the fight is far from over.

“Unfortunately,” Nelson says, “the reality is cancer is still a huge problem in B.C. This year, about 24,000 people in B.C. will be diag-nosed with cancer for the first time.”

The Wheelin’ Warriors of the North have certainly caught Nel-son’s attention.

“I’m really excited about what they’re doing. It’s quite a unique experience for a new team to have more than 30 riders.

“It just shows how people can contribute in so many ways.”

Warriors wheelin’ off to fight cancer

Doug Nelson


I’m not sure who disappointed me more in Monday’s lead-ers’ debate … Christy Clark or Adrian Dix.

Dix, however, didn’t surprise me. Clark, however, did.

To anyone who fol-lows the provincial political scene, it’s not news that Adrian Dix isn’t as comfortable in the spotlight as Clark is.

That certainly came through in the debate, which was surprisingly lively in spots. Dix was clearly uncomfortable, not knowing what to do with his hands, and seeming a bit nervous at times. So, it was disappointing that, knowing his weakness going in, he didn’t, or wasn’t, able to address it better.

Clark, on the other hand, is very comfort-able when the spot-light is on her. She’s charismatic, quick-witted, and an excel-lent speaker. For the debate, however, she chose to stick to the script. Even though both Clark and Dix reverted back to their talking points many, many times, Clark did it more-so.

So it was disap-pointing, knowing her strength, she didn’t play to it, choosing instead to regurgitate platitudes that we’re tired of hearing.

And Clark offers up a simplistic answer to the woes of the province … “well, you know, if everyone had a job” … there’d be a cure for cancer, zits in teenagers, and climate change. The world is more complex than that. The tired old trickle down econom-ics model that hasn’t worked anywhere in the world.

Participants of this year’s Autism Awareness Walk gather at Cottonwood Island Park on April 28.

AUTISM WALK

Dix scored points on calling out Clark for statements while perhaps not false, fall into the sins of omis-sion category.

Conservative leader John Cum-mins, whose party announced that he won the debate less than five minutes after it’s conclusion, seemed to only want to talk about the car-bon tax. I suppose it is one area where the Conservatives really differ from the others.

They will kill the tax, the Liber-als will freeze it, the NDP will continue to increase it gradually,

and the Greens will increase it sub-stantially.

Personally, I agree with the Greens and the Conservatives on the tax, which is a little weird. Cummins said the tax is punitive,

does nothing to reduce our carbon footprint, and is just another cash-grab. He’s right. Green Party leader Jane Sterk said that for the tax to actu-ally work, it needs to be

higher so that it actually forces people to reduce their carbon foot-print. She’s right.

The Liberals and NDP want to keep the tax to appease voters

who want to do something for the environment but not increase it so much that it creates more havoc for businesses and the average taxpayer.

Like I said, I’m with the Greens and/or the Conservatives on this one … either hike the rate high enough to force people to change their carbon-producing ways, or scrap it. Everything in the middle

is just a punitive cash-grab.So who won the debate? I think

Dix, once you got past his wooden delivery, had more substantive things to say.

Clark spouted the usual tripe that, even though the Liberals have doubled the provincial debt since taking office, they are the best stewards of public money.

That just doesn’t wash.Writer’sBlock

Women taught their peers through stories of personal tri-umph during the Women of the North conference, held at the Civic Centre April 16.

Shirly Prokopchuk, event orga-nizer, said the positive energy dur-ing the conference eased the anxi-ety pulling together such an event usually generates, and made it a joyful experience.

“I had nothing but positive remarks from everybody,” she said.

The conference covered topics like Women and Money, hosted by Debra Moffatt with the Investors Group, and ‘Do you have ques-tions about banking, accounting and insurance?’ where a panel of women from the Integris Credit Union shared their knowledge on some of the finer aspects of finance.

The conference also invited participants to take a closer look at the lives of highly successful women, inviting people like Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman and Janet Holder with Enbridge to talk about their own journeys, includ-ing their successes and challenges along the way.

“Everyone struggles,” Prokop-chuk said. “I had one lady tell me Lori Ackerman’s presentation really hit home for her. She was going through some of the same things.”

Another powerful presentation was delivered by Corrina Leween, band manager of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation, and Colleen Nyce with Rio Tinto Alcan.

Decades ago Alcan gave the peo-ple of the Cheslatta Nation 18 days to vacate their land, then flooded it during construction of the Kemano

1 project. A continuous fluctua-tion in the newly created lake’s flow disturbed the graveyards of the people who’d called that land home for generations. Eventually, as bodies continued to surface, the lake was designated a graveyard.

However the people of the Che-slatta Nation and representatives

of what is now Rio Tinto Alcan started talking and through the years came to an understanding that resulted in a portion of the land being returned and a new peace between the two.

Prokopchuk added Mary-Anne Arcand of the Central Inte-rior Logging Association also spoke very personally about her journey, that has resulted in her being quite possibly the first woman in North America to hold her position.

“She explained what she went through in her personal life, where she is now and what she’s learned,” Prokopchuk said. “Janet Holder talked about leadership.”

With Enbridge often a mag-

net for controversy, Holder spoke about her approach to leading in the community within those cir-cumstances.

Victoria Abboud talked about educational opportunities during her session.

“It seems women are really tak-ing over the world, beginning right here in B.C.,” Dianne Buckner, host of the Dragons’ Den and keynote speaker for the luncheon, said.

Buckner discussed her insight into shared traits of successful people.

The event ended with an awards gala.

“The nominees were from all across the North,” Prokopchuk said. “The entire region was repre-sented. That’s what the conference is about.”

Prokopchuk said the one thing she intends to add next year, in what is set to be an annual event, is a youth component to the confer-ence, so issues that are important to what she referred to as the lead-ers of tomorrow are addressed as well.

Awards were handed out in seven categories at the Women of the North awards gala Tuesday. The winners are:

Rising Star award - Sufey Chen.

Community Enrichment award - Connie Greyeyes and Shannon McPhail (tied)

Influence and Impact Woman of the Year award - Theresa Gladue and Mary Kordyban (tied)
