The article recounts Graham James, once a successful hockey coach and executive, pleading guilty to child sexual abuse and receiving a 3.5 year sentence in 1997.

Public Hearing Set Over Rivers Rink Complex Plan
On April 29 at 7 p.m. in the Daly council chamber a public hearing will address the Daly 2010 financial plan. The plan seeks a $650 000 bank loan over 10 years for the Rivers rink complex plus a $100 000 Dana municipal reserve contribution. Two debt loans to fund the project are proposed: $650 000 and $290 000. Ratepayers face tax increases to repay the loans, including farmland, but debate and objections have yet to be openly aired. This hearing offers the first chance for Daly residents to voice concerns.
