Reporter's life is no bed of roses

We have a dedicated crew here at Windspeaker. We brave the icy roads and snow swept plains. We drive the long, lonely and treacherous road. We work when the rest of the world is playing ? we always get our story.

No one exemplifies this profile than our own Terry Lusty. But, as with so many people who spend long hours behind the wheel of a car, Terry was involved in an accident last weekend that saw him suffer multiple injuries. But, don't worry ? I forgot to mention that Windspeaker reporters are tough ? Terry is going to be alright.

Terry had just finished covering one story in Fort Chip and was on his way to Peace River when the accident happened. Terry will have to stay in hospital for a few weeks, but luckily, no one else was hurt as well.

I am sure all our readers will join me in wishing Terry best wishes and a speedy recovery. We all miss you Terry, but don't worry, we're keeping an eye on your trapline.
