hat does a whisky distillery just this side of Black Creek have to do with broadening the creative arts industry in our region? Well, they happen to have a 2.1-million-gallon cement tank that is 300 feet long by 100 feet wide that could can be used as a film set, and it’s about to get renovated to do just that. The announcement that Shelter Point Distillery’s tank is being repurposed as a film set was part of the Screen BC Day proclamation by the provincial government this week, which celebrated the role the creative arts play in our economy.

Distillery: Tank perfect for shooting water scenes

“Across B.C., the creative industries – whether it’s a tech startup, or a television production on the North Island or a big blockbuster, which could be filmed anywhere in the province – are absolutely essential to the economic well-being of B.C,” said Comox Valley MLA Don McRae at the announcement. The Shelter Point tank, which has gone unused since the property was a UBC research facility, has been on the radar of the Island North Film Commission (INFilm) for years, but it took a special kind of property owner to see what they saw. “We bugged Patrick (Evans, of Shelter Point Distillery) for four, five, six, seven years telling him about what we thought this particular asset could do, and he eventually caved,” laughed Joan Miller, Commissioner of INFilm. “He’s really very creative and could see all those possibilities.” Miller said she’s seen many instances where productions have been filming in B.C. but actors have to fly elsewhere to shoot water scenes because B.C.

didn’t have this kind of facility. But now that we are going to have one, the possibilities are endless. “After landing one (production), we’ve been getting a lot of requests for more information and more people coming to take a look at it,” Miller said. But it’s not only filming that can be done in the tank. Other sectors have also expressed interest in booking time there, as well, from diver and military personnel training to scientific research. HBO will be the first production company to take up the tank. They will be arriving this fall to start prepping it for shooting their in-house mini-series, Lewis & Clark, which will film this coming December. After that, who knows? Miller says there are about four more productions that are in discussions to make use of the tank once HBO is out of there. As you can imagine, it’s a lot easier for a production to control the water’s behaviour in a tank than it would be out on open water, “and with visual effects and green screens, they can put forests or oceans or anything around them.

Having this type of engineered tank to start with is exactly what they’re looking for.” “This is great news for Campbell River,” said Mayor Andy Adams at the announcement. “I think it demonstrates the hard work that Joan has done with INFilm and also the Campbell River Creative Industries Council. It just demonstrates not only the talent that we have in the area, but also the physical assets that may have been overlooked in the past, that we can put to good use and become another economic driver for our community.” Shelter Point is excited for the possibilities, as well. “It’s great that we can work together with INFilm to create a really neat asset for the area,” said Evans. “It can really benefit everybody – the farm, the community, the film industry – there’s lots of room for everybody to win.” For those concerned with water conservation and the environmental impact of having a 2.1-million gallon tank being used for temporary filming purposes, Evans was clear that the tank will be filled with water from their own

wells and then recycled back into their own production as a working farm, and will make its way back into the aquifer. INFilm is always looking to broaden their base of shooting locations in our region to tempt productions to come our way, so watch for announcements on their website and Facebook page and if you see them searching for a special location and you know of one that fits the bill, contact them.

RCMP oversight agency closes B.C. office Jeff Nagel Black Press

T h e i n d e p e n d e nt agency that investigates complaints against the RCMP is closing its B.C. intake office in Surrey in order to cut costs and centralize staff in Ottawa. The move by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP has sparked criticism that police oversight could falter. “B.C. was not consulted on this decision,” B.C. Justice Minister

Suzanne Anton said in a statement. “We’ll be watching to ensure there is no reduction in service, as we are the largest RCMP jurisdiction and we expect the commission and the federal government to be accountable to British Columbians.” The RCMP’s E Division has 7,100 officers policing B.C. That’s 37 per cent of all RCMP officers across Canada and more than are deployed in any other province. About 3,600 inquiries

or formal complaints are lodged against the

RCMP nation-wide each year.

Mulch fire north of Campbell River knocked down quickly MiKe Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The Campbell River Fire Department’s quick response to a smouldering bark mulch pile north of town on Saturday may have a averted a much larger crisis. At about 6 p.m. Friday night, the CRFD attended the scene at 5500 block of the Island Highway – in the area of Middle Point Drive – and found a smouldering pile of mulch encroaching on some heavy machinery.

“Our crews were able to contain and knock down the fire pretty quickly,” said deputy fire chief Thomas Doherty. “We stuck around for a couple of hours monitoring the situation until equipment was brought in to dig it up and cordon it off.” The cause of the fire was evident immediately, Doherty said, as it’s a common occurrence with mulch piles. “Mulch piles can easily spontaneously combust if they’re not being turned over frequently

because of the moisture inside them building up and getting hot, igniting the pile way down deep. That’s what happened in this case. “We found evidence that it had been smouldering under the surface for quite a while.” Doherty reminds the public to be vigilant about reporting suspicious smoke and any visible flames. Despite the recent rains, he said, conditions are still very dry out there, “and it looks like we’re going into another

period of hot dr y weather, so people need to be very careful and keep their eyes open, and remember that regional burning bans are still in effect.”

Accessibility money added to Ostler Park upgrade funding Kristen Douglas

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Three Campbell River projects will receive funding from a federal government grant following successful applications. Mayor Andy Adams announced at the July 20 council meeting that the City of Campbell River and two community organizations have been awarded money through the Enabling Accessibility Fund. The fund is designed to support communitybased projects that improve access for Canadians with disabilities and mobility challenges. “The City of Campbell River did get $50,000 towards the installation of Ostler Park replacement (playground equipment) that will be part of the 2016 whole Ostler Park re-work, so that’s great news,” Adams said. The project involves replacement of the rip rap on the park’s foreshore and city staff are also considering other improvements such as relocating the storm drainage system under Ostler Park, upgrading the Seagull Walkway adjacent to the park, reconfiguring the north entrance to the park and Quadra ferry terminal, replacing the park irrigation system, resurfacing the park with new sod, and the playground

replacement. The Enabling Acces-

sibility Fund will also provide more than $23,528 to the Campbell River and District Adult Care Society to replace flooring with commercial grade mat finishing throughout the building to make it easier for seniors to move around. And, finally, the Campbell River Hospice Society was given more than $43,550 for the installation of gravel pathways. “These are the path-

ways that will provide the connectivity between the new hospice house that’s being proposed, to Yucalta Lodge,” Adams said. “And maybe on the slope to the new hospital but that’s one step at a time.” The Enabling Accessibility Fund was create d i n 2 0 0 7 and since its inception has funded more than 2,200 improved accessibility projects across Canada.

I don’t understand ‘lawn’ but I understand rules

With the above-average temperatures and the province dealing with one of its worst fire seasons in history, water is certainly at a premium these days. Even BC Hydro is starting to sound worried about the lack of precipitation, recently releasing water downstream to preserve fish habitat and our drinking water supply during this “unprecedented” weather and creating a need for “responsible decision making for a ‘just-incase’ scenario,” according to spokesperson Stephen Watson. Water, it seems, is all anyone is talking about right now. Whether it’s a simple, “Gee, we sure could use some rain,” as idle chatter between shopper and cashier or a rant online about how people shouldn’t be watering their lawns with photos of people’s property who have their sprinklers on, discussion on the topic runs

Can enough ever be said about our Campbell River Search and Rescue volunteers? No. So, let’s heap more praise on these deserving individuals. Because they are willing to risk their necks, people who have risked theirs in our great outdoors have a reasonable expectation of getting home alive. Can it be put any more succinctly than that? Last weekend, many Campbell Riverites had the rare opportunity to see Campbell River Search and Rescue, along with neighbouring SAR groups from the Comox Valley and the Arrowsmith area, practice in possibly one of the most challenging scenarios in the region, namely the sheer cliffs and frigid waters of Elk Falls. The groups rappelled over the edge of the cliffs, hung from various ropes as well has plunged into the freezing waters below the falls – all for the purpose of being able to quickly extract you should you accidentally end up stuck on the cliff or in the water below the falls. Of course, using the “accidenWe say: May you tally”word raises all kinds never need their of issues. Is it an accident if you slip off the services in the cliff because you got great outdoors too close to the edge, despite numerous warnings not to do so from signs in the area, articles in the local paper and frequent debate on social media? Because that’s the main message coming from the search and rescue exercise at Elk Falls on the weekend. Take a look at the effort required and the risks taken by rescuers in order to extract somebody from a dangerous situation around the falls. And, more often than not, the extraction will be of a body because going over the cliff or the falls will almost certainly result in death. Despite frequent warnings, people continue to stand right on the edge of Elk Falls to get that dramatic selfie. Let’s hope it’s not a picture that has to be extracted from the foot of the falls. So, here’s to our search and rescue volunteers! Thank-you for your willingness to put your lives on the line. Be safe out there. And to the general public, think about what you’re doing and don’t be foolhardy. May you never need the services of Campbell River Search and Rescue.

though. You don’t get to be mad, as far as I’m concerned, if someone is traveling 120 km/h on the Inland Island Highway, because you think that’s too fast to be safe. You do, however, get to be mad at the people who made that the speed limit. People who call out lawnwaterers for maintaining their property within the guidelines set by the municipality, should instead turn their attention to the municipality. How many of those people have been at city hall lately addressing council asking why we’re still at Level 1 water restrictions? If people are watering their lawn outside the proscribed hours or days, by all means, go have a chat with them. But maybe lay off people who are doing things they’re allowed to do, and turn your attention to the people who allow it.

NDP touts strategy for small business, renewable energy, research and development since 2009. “We can do everything from a small cabin to a community-based system, both on and off grid,” he said, but also said he’d have a lot more work if there was more incentive for people to get on board with clean energy. Almost everyone who calls him for a quote on a project wants to know when they’re going to break even by saving on electricity costs, he said, and because there

NDP Finance Critic and Member of Parliament for BC’s Skeena– Bulkley Valley Nathan Cullen was touring Vancouver Island last week, and had more than a few things to say about the Conservative government’s failure to support small business when he stopped in Campbell River. Together with the North Island–Powell River NDP candidate for the upcoming federal election Rachel Blaney, Cullen met with the media at the Campbell River home of Jarek Kubacki – owner and operator of Small Planet Energy. W h at b r o u g ht a national finance critic from Parliament off the beaten track to a home-based business on Homewood Road? “I think ‘off the beaten track’ is what’s going to make the difference in the economy,” he said. “We’re likely in a recession right now.

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA

Kelsey Bay and Sayward have a shared history THELMA SILKENS MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

he Port of Kelsey Bay, the Village of Sayward and the Salmon River Valley have a shared history, yet each has its own unique past. The story of white settlement began in 1894, when a trading ship stopped at the native village of H”Kusam near the mouth of Vancouver Island’s Salmon River. Aboard as the trader’s partner was a young German immigrant, Hans Otto Sacht, who was much impressed by the grassy flats beside the river and the fine stands of timber beyond. A year later, Sacht returned to pre-empt land a short distance up the river. The young man’s instincts and hard work served him well. The number of settlers increased in the fertile valley and logging operators began harvesting the prime timber. H.O. Sacht had started a small store and as business expanded he built a larger one and added a post office. The post office needed a name, so members of the little community were asked to give suggestions by ballot. ‘Sayward,’ already the name of the Land District, won the day. Union Steamships called with freight, mail and passengers at a government wharf built in a small bay north of the river mouth. Boat day was all important to the area residents, whose only link with the outside world was by water. To connect the bay to

their homesteads the settlers laboriously created a road with pick and shovel, blasting out an awesome “Rock Cut” that wound treacherously around a steep bluff. William and Imogene Kelsey operated a store and telegraph office at the wharf and added a post office to serve the bay area and outlying settlements. As a result, the bay was officially named Kelsey Bay. Among the valley homesteaders were Arthur Henry and his family. Arthur Henry was a versatile man who turned his hand to many things, and he kept detailed journals of life in Sayward for 17 years. The journals are now in the Archives of the Museum at Campbell River, giving a price-

less record of events large and small, from devastating floods and fires to farming and social life. The home Hans Otto Sacht built for his growing family was destroyed by fire in 1919. Only the kitchen stove survived. Sayward historian Frances Duncan, the Sachts’ granddaughter, has related a popular story that when the excitement abated, the oven was opened to reveal a batch of perfectly baked cream puffs. The agricultural community badly needed a road connecting them to markets on the south island. While they campaigned and waited, logging activity grew and when trucks succeeded railways a network of roads and bridges developed. Finally a road to Campbell River was completed by

connecting old logging grades. Salmon River Logging’s “beach camp” between Kelsey Bay and the river mouth included family homes for its employees. When forest giant MacMillan Bloedel acquired the camp, it became Kelsey Bay Division and the company built a townsite of modern homes and amenities for its employees. In 1968 the Village of Sayward was incorporated as a self-governing community. Kelsey Bay remained a busy port even after the Union Boats stopped calling. It became the link to the north island with a ferry service to Beaver Cove, Alert Bay and Sointula. The Island Princess loaded cars by hoist and vehicles being lifted into the air were a familiar sight. A university student, Bruce

7x3 cr museum page

Bendickson, parked his car at Kelsey Bay while spending holidays at home on nearby Hardwicke Island. When it was time to go back, he found his car missing. It was on its way north, mistaken for a parked car that was arranged to be picked up. Borrowing his dad’s car, he carried on with several student passengers, and his own car eventually returned from its travels. When the rough gravel road to Campbell River was finally upgraded and paved, the old rock cut was improved and a dock built for a large passenger ferry connecting Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert. The Queen of Prince Rupert operated from Kelsey Bay for more than 10 years, until the Island Highway was extended to Port Hardy and the terminal moved there. Like most communities, the area has its controversies. Frances Duncan described one that was “almost feudlike” in its intensity. “In the 1940s…I recall two signs on our government wharf at the same time: one read SAYWARD WHARF while the other read KELSEY BAY (FOR SAYWARD). Feelings ran high and eventually the SAYWARD WHARF sign went mysteriously missing.” In 1970 emotions again erupted when the Kelsey Bay and Sayward post offices were combined into one Sayward Post Office. These days Sayward and Kelsey Bay share the honours on several Heritage Trail signs that celebrate in words and pictures many people and events that have shaped their history.

Choir seeks local Remembrance stories J.R. RaRdon Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Island Voices Choir is planning its next community Remembrance Day performance, and wants to put the emphasis on “community”. To that end, organizers are asking local residents to share their stories, letters, journals, diaries and even emails that boast passages with a remembrance day theme. “We want to tell the stories of soldiers, spouses, children and others touched by war,” said Jo-Anne Preston, former conductor for the community choir launched originally in 1997. “”We’re looking for local, and we’re looking for personal. I know there’s stuff around, but I have no idea how to find those local stories.” Island Voices has performed the Remem-

brance Day concert roughly every three years since it debuted in 2003. Typically, Preston said, it has featured songs by the choir interwoven with readings by veterans, current service members and other dignitaries, in a manner to pay tribute to past sacrifices and offer a message of hope for a peaceful future. Those readings previously came primarily from established, published works — think: In Flanders Fields. This year’s event, Voices in Remembrance: In their words, aims to bring spoken words provided by local residents or their predecessors or currentserving family members. “We want to try to maintain tradition, but also try new things,” said Preston. “I feel this concert is a real important contribution to the community, and we’d like the

text to be more relevant, more personal, to the community.” Another change Preston anticipates is more involvement by children in the community, including several numbers by the Campbell River Youth Choir. “This will be not just an Island Voices concert,” she said. “It will be more of a community event.” The venue for this year’s Voices in Remembrance has not yet been chosen, though the last couple of Remembrance Day performances have been held at the Catholic church. Neither have the speakers been selected for reading of the con-

tributed works. “That will partly be determined by the nature of the stories we get,” Preston said. “This is still very much a work in progress.” Preston hopes to have contributed material by mid-September, so that the program can be assembled at the end of the month. You can submit written material to Preston via email at jo-anne. preston@shaw.ca, or, if the material is not in a digital form, call her at 250-202-4300 to arrange pickup or delivery. “Whether we scan it or take a photo, we promise to treat everything very carefully,” she said.

Not to be forgotten, work underway on Ladore Dam The Ladore dam’s water intake gates and supporting mechanical works are getting a major upgrade. The work started in April and the project is anticipated to be complete in August. The Ladore dam and 47 megawatt generating station is the second of three hydroelectric facilities on the Campbell River system all of which are to receive millions of dollars worth of

and NIC

upgrades. There are three large spillway gates at the Ladore dam that are used for flood risk management. Those gates were upgraded in 2007. There are also two intake gates at the concrete dam that pass water down a tunnel to the generating station, where it is then discharged back into the river system to enter the John Hart reservoir. “Through BC Hydro’s dam safety program we are always looking at our

facilities to determine the need for upgrades,” BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson says. “The two intake gates at the tunnel entrance were reviewed in 2009 and were found to be in poor condition. We are in the process of replacing those gates, and related equipment, this summer. This project is about improved safety certified worker access, less seepage in the tunnel, to the better inspection and mainte-

nance of the downstream Ladore facilities.” BC Hydro says there are two main components to the project. The first was to design and build the two new gates. The second component is the installation of the new gates along with new controls and building enclosure over the hoist mechanism. This would include the removal and disposal of the existing gates and related equipment. Can-

Rocks, rappels and rescue training J.R. RaRdon Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Visitors who arrived to walk the suspension bridge across Elk Falls Canyon or view the falls and rapids Saturday morning got a bonus as several dozen volunteers held a search and rescue training exercise. Hosted by Campbell River Search and Rescue, the exercise included members of the Comox Valley and Arrowsmith search and rescue groups. As some groups set up ropes for entry and extraction, other members rappelled down the rock face of the canyon just above Elk Falls, swam downstream beyond the suspension bridge, and were lifted back up the canyon wall. All of it took place in full view of a constant stream of visitors, tourists and guests who pointed and snapped pictures. “Mommy! There’s a man in the water!” one young girl shouted as she crossed the bridge. “It’s very realistic,” said Tim Fairbank, head of Campbell River SAR. “If we had to come and do a rescue here someday, we would be working in among the public. It’s important we let them know it is just an exercise; we don’t want them worried that something’s gone wrong. But we also completely welcome the chance to give them an opportunity to see what it is we do, how we do it.” The training exercise provided SAR volunteeers a chance to work on rope rescue, swiftwater rescue and long-line rescue techniques and equipment, while also fine-tuning communications, logistics and public relations protocols. Later in the afternoon, SAR swimmers continued down the river and were airlifted by helicopter, which was provided by West Coast Helicopters. “This is a training exercise that we only get a chance to do every four or five years,” said Fairbank. “It allows us to get our members down into that canyon where they might be needed to do a rescue or recovery some day, so they know how it all works, what it’s like in there and how they’re going to get out.” The SAR command trailer was set up in the parking lot of the John Hart Project interpretive centre, where members chatted with visitors to explain their presence

Clockwise from left: Search and rescue members descend to the bottom of Elk Falls canyon during a joint SAR training excercise at Elk Falls

at the park. More SAR volunteers were stationed at the suspension bridge and the overlooks, where they fielded more questions from curious onlookers. “It gives us a chance to work on our public relations skills, which is something we are expected to do,” said Fairbank. “We like to let everyone know we exist, that we are out in the community, and we can be called when we’re needed.”

Lasota, Team Canada close to within one game of U19 world lacrosse final Campbell River’s Selena Lasota helped guide Team Canada into the medal round of the Women’s U19 World Lacrosse Championships this week at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. A 19-0 romp over host Scotland in Wednesday’s quarterfinals lifted Canada into a semifinal matchup against Australia played Thursday afternoon. A win in that game, played after the Mirror went to press, would earn Team Canada an historic berth in tomorrow’s gold-medal final against the winner of Thursday’s other semifinal, between the U.S. and England. Lasota, recently named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year while helping the Northwestern Wildcats into the Elite Eight of the NCAA collegiate lacrosse championships, scored two goals and added four assists as Team Canada

posted a second-place finish in the seeded ‘A’ pool with a 4-1 record in games through Tuesday. Canada improved to 5-1 in the tourney with a 19-0 blanking of Scotland in the opening round of the bracket finals Wednesday. It was the second straight shutout for the squad, which pasted the Republic of Korea 20-0 Tuesday in their pool finale. Canada drew a tough start in the tourney, facing four-time defending champion and top-ranked USA. The Canadians played shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. for one half and carried a 7-7 tie into intermission. The Americans pulled away in the second half for a 15-9 victory that remains Canada’s only loss in the tourney. Lasota registered three assists in the loss. Canada bounced back with a pair of extra-effort wins — 11-10 over Australia in double-overtime,

and 9-8 over England in triple overtime. Lasota had a goal and an assist against the Aussies. Lasota notched her second goal of the tourney as the squad then clinched second place in Pool A with a more comfortable 12-3 win over Wales. The U.S. remains the tourney’s only unbeaten team. The other three semifinalists are so closely bunched that all three games featuring head-to-head competition between them went to extra periods. After Canada’s overtime wins over Australia and England, Australia outlasted England 14-13 in four overtimes, in the longest game in the history of the U19 women’s championships. Canada’s best finish in the U19 CECIL COPELAND PHOTO World Championships is third place, accomplished in 1999, 2003 Campbell River’s Selena Lasota, shown competing for Northwestern and 2011.

Bantams make provincial bid

The Marine Harvest Bantam Tyees begin play in the provincial championships today. Back row, from left: coach Bob Holt, Ben Wellman, Nico Matheson, Cole Devlin, Bryn Girvin, Keegan Kelly, Nathan Lagos, coach Darren Ingersoll, coach Dave Roemer. Front row: Derek McPhee, Matt Johnson, Caelen Ostrosser, Tyler Downey, Jamie Ingersoll, Kyle Roemer.

Campbell River’s Bantam Tyees spent last weekend walking a tightrope before safely arriving at the other end with a berth in the provincial baseball championships. The Marine Harvest Tyees overcame losses in their first two games to rally with four straight wins — including two in extra innings. Even then, the squad needed a little help, which zone champion Chemainus

provided with its own extra-inning win over Victoria. The outcome was a runner-up finish for the bantams and one of three Vancouver Island berths in the provincial championships, which begin today in Comox. Comox Valley earned an automatic berth as the host program. Coming off a title in the Burnaby Summer Fun Tournament one

week earlier, the Tyees got off to a rough start in the first round of the zone finals, co-hosted in Ladysmith and Chemainus. The bantams dropped an 11-1 decision to host Chemainus, then suffered a 17-6 pounding at the hands of Victoria. But, as they say, the Tyees had not yet begun to fight. With every contest the rest of the way holding the threat of

elimination, the Tyees rallied in Saturday’s opening game with a 13-3 win over Comox Valley, then overcame an 11-7 deficit to Ladysmith in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game and force extra innings before pulling out a 12-11 win in the eighth. Sunday opened with another extra-inning affair, as the Tyees let

Joe Lagos of Campbell River made the trek up to Rainbow’s End in Sayward for a quick Sunday morning round of 18 holes and was back in town by noon.

Sayward’s little golf gem Mike Davies, Campbell River Mirror

Next time you’re thinking about spending five hours of your day to play a round of golf, consider tossing your clubs in the trunk and heading an hour up the highway towards Port Hardy. Take your first right after you cross the river right before you get to Sayward – if you get to the main junction, you’ve gone too far – and wander around Rainbow’s End golf course for a couple of hours. For about $25, you can meander your way around what would definitely qualify as the old clichéd “hidden gem” course they’ve got nestled at the edge of the woods up there. The nine-hole “par-3” course (with a couple of longer holes they call par4s) features two sets of tees on each hole, so the second time you go around, you’re not just playing exactly the same track, which is a nice feature. The tee boxes are sometimes only a few yards apart, but on a few holes it makes for a very different experience on the second circuit, because more (or less) trouble gets in the way depending on which angle you’ve got to the hole. The wind also plays a huge factor up there. By the time you get back to the first hole (now ten), you could not only be playing a different tee box, but also have the wind blowing in the opposite direction. Last time I was up there, the wind had changed so much I had to club-up from a gap wedge at #1 (where I opened by finding the green and making a mid-length putt for birdie) to an 8-iron on #10 (where I came up short left and didn’t get up-anddown for par). A challenge for golfers of all levels and abilities, with well-placed trees, brisk, ever-changing winds, and small putting surfaces requiring accuracy to access make this an enjoyable outing. The pros: The greens are obviously new and well-kept. I want to carpet my living room with the turf they used in their creation. Also, the “Walk rating” (a thing I just made up) is extremely high. There are no significant slopes to deal with, and plenty of shade from trees makes it a great little wander for a couple of hours chasing a little ball around. The cons: It’s in Sayward, so you need to add two hours of total driving to your outing, but that’s okay, because it’s only a three-hour round of 18 holes even if you’re taking your sweet time getting around the course. See you on the links.

Ethan Vaton pitched five strong innings and Carter Hall homered and drove in three runs as the Campbell River Mosquito AAA Tyees defeated the Victoria Eagles 6-1 Sunday to clinch second place in the Tier II Island baseball championships. The runner-up finish clinched the Tyees a spot in this weekend’s Tier II provincial championships in Victoria. The Tyees opened the Island tourney Saturday with a 20-4 romp over the Comox Cardinals. Breydan Riecker and Owen Lagos each rapped inside-the-park home runs and Lagos added two triples on his way to team MVP honours in the contest. Gareth MacDonald picked up the win on the mound with

relief help from Wyatt Dumont, Ryder Plecas and Ryan Deagle. The Tyees ran into a roadblock in their second game of the roundrobin tourney, falling 8-2 to the Duncan Rivercats. Riecker doubled and singled en route to earning team MVP honours for the game, while Wyatt Murray, Riecker and Vaton shared the pitching duties. Sunday’s matchup with Victoria would determine the final representative to provincials, and the Tyees were up to the task with a mix of offence, defence and pitching. Hall closed out Vaton’s win with a scoreless inning of relief, and Lagos and Murray each drove in runs with clutch hits. Deagle, MacDonald

a three-run lead over Alberni Valley slip away in the seventh inning. In the bottom of the eighth, however, Alberni’s catcher followed a force out at the plate by walking the ball out to the pitcher as an alert Tyee raced home from

the tourney’s final game, it would join the hosts as the provincial representative. The teams carried a 4-4 tie into the 11th inning before Chemainus scored to claim a 5-4 win and eliminate Victoria. The provincials in Comox continue through Aug 3.

for me, it’s just about exploration, adventure and friends. I look back and see how cycling has shaped my life, my family, my career and I laugh at how lucky I am. My whole life is basically based on fun. How sweet is that that? I often get asked if I am a mountain biker, a roadie, a commuter etc. I honestly love all kinds of riding, but when it comes down to it, if there are no goals to achieve, no training underway or big races coming up, the mountain bike gets pulled off

the hook every time, because its just so much fun to rip through the trails, jump over logs and carve some loose corners. Throw in some downhill, a bit of air time or some technical trails, and the the fun factor doubles. I’m not trying to convince everyone who reads this to create a life around cycling, but who couldn’t use a bit more fun in their lives? Have you hit the mountain bike trails lately?

It’s really just about having fun I’ve been riding bikes since I was two. That’s 45 years. For many years I rode bikes as my main mode of transportation around the neighbourhood, I raced for about 10 years, spent a bunch of time just trying to stay fit, a few years pretending to be a free rider jumping off cliffs, the odd challenge from a buddy to ride enormous distances just to see if we could do it, a few adventures strictly for exploration, and a bazillion rides with friends just to hang out and pedal through some trails. For me biking is, and has always been, just about having fun. From an early age, the fun was always the goal. Jumping over my Dad’s car wasn’t about anything but adrenaline and smiles. Racing downhill was competitive for sure, but really, hanging out with a bunch of buddies and riding as fast as possible makes for an amazing

a salmon to be registered on the scoreboard. A total of 10 fish have been registered since April 16 and the last fish was on July 12 – a 25-pound Chinook caught by Jim Nelson. Starting now until the end of August, the locals and tourists will be going after the pinks and a few waves of fish have been through and a lot more are coming. The pinks have arrived in Sayward and last Wednesday a number of fish were caught at the Kelsey Bay Wharf.

In Campbell River, midJune to the end of August are key months for fishing guides and local anglers who get out and fish in the tidal waters around Campbell River. The majority are after Chinook salmon and right now there is a good mix of large wild and hatchery coho. The pinks are in and they also get in the mix of the fishing action in the summer months. A group of anglers from Campbell River headed up to the Port Hardy area for halibut and Dick Walton said they got their fish. I checked the catch report at Painters Lodge on Monday and the fish catch was at 27, which included 18 chinook, one lingcod, seven pinks and one coho. Chinook coming in range from 10 to 20 pounds but Duncan Birkwood got a 22-pounder. I spoke with Ben Luck on Tuesday and had mentioned I wanted

The pinks have been coming in 4-5 pounds and the locals get out in full force to catch salmon off the wharf.

When the weather is hot, the trout go down and the best fishing can be in other areas like Upper Campbell and higher elevation lakes that you can get to. The rivers are extremely low and more rain is needed at the moment. The pinks have arrived in low numbers and the fishing frenzy will begin when the salmon are in. Many anglers will cast out spoons and lures while many prefer to fly fish for this feisty fun-to-catch salmon. When the pinks are in, any combination of pink and silver or green and silver will work. I prefer to use a silver bodied fly with deer hair front in place of the hackle. Local tackle shops have a wide selection of fly patterns that will work in the Campbell River.
