Plaza clock tower to find a new home in Campbellton KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A long-time Campbell River landmark is getting a new home after city council went against a city staff recommendation. The Tyee Plaza clock tower, a former fixture in the downtown core, will be relocated to Campbellton even though it is taller than what is permitted in the area. Council approved a variance that will allow the clock tower, which was removed from Tyee Plaza last August, to be put up on Spruce Street near 14th Avenue.

Local businessman Ted Arbour intends to clean up the tower, remove the Tyee Plaza lettering and replace it with the name of his storage business, Econo Ezy Box. He said other than that, the clock tower (pictured right being removed last summer) will remain as is and will still bear the time and the temperature. Arbour said the tower, expected to be erected at 1231 Spruce St., is an iconic Campbell River structure and will help liven up the Campbellton neighbourhood. “This clock was a landmark in the Tyee

Plaza for over 40 years and deserves to be rejuvenated so that the residents of Campbell River can continue to enjoy seeing it,” Arbour said. “This will be erected at the corner of the lower portion of this property and will enhance the local area without

negatively affecting any property owners in the immediate vicinity.” T he C ampb el lton Neighbourhood Association said it supports Arbour, adding the clock tower will revitalize the area and help customers find the business in an attractive manner.

“A clock tower will create another focal point that is pleasing to the eye. Structures like this will continue to encourage more homes and businesses to enrich their own outdoor spaces. Everyone wins,” wrote Brian Shaw, chair of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, in a letter to council. “Eventually it will be used as a visual reference point (and) it keeps a long-time familiar icon in use in Campbellton.” Arbour also hosted a public meeting in October and received support from neighbours in the immediate vicinity.

Despite that, at Monday’s city council meeting, city staff ’s recommendation to council was to deny Arbour’s application to erect the clock tower at its existing height. Their rationale was that the tower, at 14.3 metres (47 feet), is double the height of what’s allowed on the subject property, which is 7.5 m (26.4 ft). Matthew Fitzgerald, the city’s planner, said there’s no justifiable reason for the sign to be so tall, even though he agreed that it will have minimal impact on the surrounding neighbourhood and will not block

the view of homeowners along the bluff on Tree Lane Road above the Econo Ezy Box site. “Despite this, there is no clear rationale for why the sign needs to be nearly twice the height the bylaw permits,” Fitzgerald wrote in a report to council. “The sign has been disassembled and there is the opportunity when it is rebuilt to adjust the height to conform to the bylaw.” Council, though, sided with Arbour and granted the variance which will allow him to put up the tower at its existing height.

College: Money coming from ‘magic pre-election pot’

From Pg. 1

what I got from it is that, yes, we’ve got the money for the facilities but not for the programming.” Trevena says she is constantly let down by the government when she asks about NIC’s operational funding, and this announcement doesn’t really alleviate that disappointment. “Every year we get to our budget and I ask the minister of advanced education about investment in North Island College, because we are one of the lowest funded colleges in the province per student,” Trevena continues. “We get really low funding. And I didn’t see any reference at all to that. The fact is that, while it’s great to have the facility, unless you have the money to put on the courses being held there, it’s not going to be great for the students. You can have the most wonderful facilities that there are, but you need the money for programming and it needs to be

ongoing money for programming. Everyone is aware that trades training is extremely expensive and you really need to have a serious investment, which is something I just don’t see this government doing.” Trevena also isn’t surprised that all of this money is suddenly being made available to fund major projects. On Jan. 20, the government announced a similar funding partnership

that sees them putting $16.5 million towards a $39.9-million Health and Science Centre at Vancouver Island University. The day before, they announced a $5.73 million contribution towards the creation of a $21.5-million Centre for Environmental Science and International Partnerships at Royal Roads University. They have also committed $31 million of the $48.5 million

needed for a new health sciences centre at Camosun. “It’s coming from the magic pre-election pot, I think,” she says. “We have an election coming, and so there’s a great amount of largesse. Basically, you’ve got two things happening here. You’ve got the province wanting to look as though they care – but again, I can’t see how they can justify that they care if they’re not putting money into

Here when you need us. 3x3 Dignity Memorial® providers offer each family we Suttons serve unlimited, complimentary access to our

programming – and you’ve got the feds who have put money into it, which is where much

of where this money is coming from.” Construction on the NIC project is expected

to start soon, with the majority of the project completed by spring of next year.

Tribal Journeys Talking Stick presented to city council KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Talking Stick – a symbol of the “massive” Tribal Journeys cultural event – was passed to the City of Campbell River Monday night as anticipation for the event builds. The official Tribal Journeys Talking Stick was presented to the two 2017 event hosts – the We Wai Kai and We Wai Kum First Nations – at the close of last year’s Tribal Journeys in Nisqually to acknowledge the future hosts. At Monday night’s council meeting, Rod Naknakim, president of the Nuyumbalees Cultural Society which is coordinating the event, presented the Talk-

ing Stick to the City of Campbell River while his son, Brody Naknakim, performed a traditional song and blessing. Naknakim said he was pleased to “pass the Talking Stick on to the city for two months as part of the Tribal Journeys undertaking to host the peoples that are coming.” The Talking Stick will spend the entire year in our region, visiting both the We Wai Kum and We Wai Kai offices, as well as the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre on Quadra Island and the Strathcona Regional District’s corporate office. Naknakim has previously said Tribal Journeys is a “massive undertaking” that will bring more than 5,000 people to the communities of

Cape Mudge on Quadra Island and Campbell River. Tribal Journeys is a 25-year annual tradition that promotes cross cultural and intercultural exchange among First Nations families who travel to the host community by boat. Roughly 100 canoes are expected to pull into Cape Mudge on Quadra Island on Aug. 5 and then Campbell River on Aug. 7. Paddlers will be welcomed with a traditional ceremony, a gift exchange and a public feast on both sides of the water. Mayor Andy Adams said the city is looking forward to helping host the event. “The City of Camp-

We Wai Kai and We Wai Kum to make it the best success it can be.” Tribal Journeys will celebrate the histories and culture of various First Nation families from around the world who will be coming to our region. The event has been ongoing since 1986 when the Glwa canoe family paddled 500 kilometres from Bella Bella to Expo ’86. Tribal Journeys was officially born in 1989 when the Glwa family invited all canoe families to their territory. The event is an economic boon to the host each year. Last year in Nisqually, 102 canoes took part, attracting 8,000 spectators to the Port of Olympia.

The City of Campbell River has been invited to rejoin Communities in Bloom and participate in a special edition of the beautification program. As a past national winner, Campbell River is one of select communities across the country that has earned the right to participate in a new category celebrating Canada’s birthday. Bob Lewis, national chair of Communities in Bloom, wrote in a letter to city council that the Canada 150 category is a “one-time special noncompetitive edition to provide communities with the opportunity to showcase achievements in greening your community (and) celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.” At Monday’s council meeting, council chose to refer the invitation to the city’s parks and

recreation staff as well as the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission to see if there’s any interest in participating in the program again. Coun. Charlie Cornfield reminded council that the city has had success before, including winning the national competition in 2011 in its population category. But, Cornfield said he wants to gauge the level of interest in returning to the program before council commits to anything. “It does take a lot of volunteer effort and a lot of commitment, so without that dedication to the commitment by our volunteers and from our staff, as well, it won’t work,” Cornfield said. “But I think before we say ‘no’ we should at least refer it to our commission and staff and get their take on it.” See full story online.

Fixing up the foreshore at Ostler Park JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The City of Campbell River has employed contractors to repair the rip rap at Robert Ostler Park. “ E x t e n s i v e w av e action from storms has undermined the existing rip rap and it has slumped down,” said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. Because the time of year is outside the annual fisheries window, no equipment or debris can be put in the water so all the work is being done from above. During the restoration, the walkway will be closed in the area. “Underneath the rip rap is another structure, we are going to reconstruct that with smaller

rock and geo-textile fabric to keep the very fine material from being affected by the waves and then we are going to replace the existing rip rap and we will probably add another 1,500 tons or so,” Milnthorp The City of Campbell River will be repairing the said.

A common thread already emerging from the surveys being conducted by volunteers for the Office of the Seniors Advocate is how thrilled the residents are that someone took a significant amount of time to sit down and listen to them.

Volunteers needed to survey local residents living in care JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Office of the Seniors Advocate wants to know what life is like living in care homes across the province from the people who are living there, and they need more volunteers to get the job done. “In every community we are relying on volunteers who are going in and interviewing residents – they are not always seniors – about their experience in care and listening to them and hearing what they have to say about what their life is like in care,” said Tina Biello, regional engagement lead for the Island. So far, the volunteers in Campbell River have interviewed the residents at one site, but there are still two more sites that need to be done.

Biello estimates she will need 10-20 more volunteers. Vo l u n t e e r s a r e required to commit to 30 hours of interviewing as well as a training day. “We ask for a minimum commitment of 30 hours, just because there is so much to do before they get to a site,” Biello said. “We want to make sure it is worth their while.” So far the program has seen all sorts of volunteers, but Biello said that the majority are retired health care workers. “I’m finding a lot of people are interested in what life is like for seniors in care,” she said. Whether it be because they have had an experience with a family member or they are worried that this could be them in 10-20 years. “And also just people who are interested in sitting and talking and

listening to seniors, because it is a lot of talking and asking them questions and all that kind of thing,” she added. Those who want to volunteer are interviewed and if they are deemed suitable are required to submit a criminal record check, get a flu shot and participate in the training day. Biello said the training day is very thorough and the volunteers learn everything they could possibly need to know about privacy and confidentiality as well as how to go about conducting the interviews and approaching the residents. They will be asking residents a range of questions from the quality of food, to how they view care staff, as well as questions related to privacy, comfort and access to activities, with the goal of gauging resident satisfaction and providing a roadmap for improvements to quality of care. In total, 27,00 residents living in 303 facili-

ties will be interviewed. Feedback from seniors has been diverse, however, a common emerging theme is the impact of having their voices heard. “A resident came to me and explained to me how a person had come to her and asked her questions for a long time,” said Norma Sorensen, manager at a care home in Victoria, in a press release. “The resident recounted how they just sat together and the person listened to her and she was just thrilled. As a manager I felt sad that being listened to was such a novelty for the resident.” The survey itself was designed by a consultative process involving care facilities, health authorities, family members, union representatives, community groups and academic experts from across the country. At the end of the project, the results of the survey will be used to improve the quality of care and services provided to residents and their families.

Opening the taps on liquor regulations

More updates to the provincial Liquor Control and Licencing Act came into effect this week. The government says these changes will “create new opportunities for businesses, increase convenience for consumers and enhance the province’s commitment to social responsibility.” These updates are surely welcome, as many of the rules on the books were clearly ridiculous and antiquated. Like the inability for a patron at a hotel bar or restaurant to carry their drink to their room, for example. Or the concept that people should be herded into a fencedin pen to consume alcohol at an outdoor concert or festival because only a certain area of the grounds are licensed, which not only adds stigma to the consumption of alcohol but also encourages binging because people know they can’t drink once they are back outside the fence, so they’d better get as much in them as they can while they’re penned up. It was nonsense and should never have been in place for this long. Also, I clearly remem-

For most of the 20th Century, the fate of B.C.’s economy was tied to resources, and their prices on the national and international markets. If salmon and lumber and minerals brought good prices, then B.C. prospered. If they didn’t, this province suffered. Though primary resources are still important, they play a smaller and smaller role in the tale of B.C. employment. Instead, we have three new pillars that hold up much of our economy: health care, retail, and We say: Boom construction. times all must Those are the three biggest employment seccome to an end tors in B.C., with more eventually than 365,000 people employed in retail and wholesale trade in December, 292,000 in health care, and 215,000 in construction. By comparison, fishing, mining, forestry, and oil and gas, lumped together, have seen employment closer to 50,000 people, province-wide. Health care is likely to grow, but the big worry is what will happen to construction when – or more likely if – the housing market flattens out or crashes completely. The B.C. Liberals, prepping for their spring election, have been touting the amazing record of provincial job growth. Unemployment is low, it’s true. But just as when B.C. relied on primary industries, we now rely very heavily on housing and retail to power our jobs boom. Both the Liberals and the NDP are making noises about increasing investments in clean energy and the high tech economy. We do have a chance to shift to an even more skilled economic base, one that exports goods and services, rather than simply building ever more condos and houses. Loggers and miners all knew that boom times end. We have to prepare for the end of the housing resource boom. -Black Press

can? After all, liquor sales are a huge revenue generator for business and would therefore mean an equally large financial windfall for the government. If not, how will they figure out what kind of businesses will get licences? And if they approve a liquor licence for a hair salon, for example, won’t they then also have to grant one to every other hair salon that applies? If they are going to be selective in issuing licences, how long will it be until people start to complain that they can’t be competitive if they aren’t legally allowed to offer the same services as the shop up the street? I guess what I’m saying is that while there are certainly some good, common-sense changes coming to the legislation, I don’t know how I feel about some of them just yet. While I enjoy a drink as much as the next person, I don’t think I need one while I’m getting a haircut or browsing the shelves at Coho Books for a summer novel – and I worry what opening the taps on liquor service to anyone who wants a licence could mean.

BCHL eyes Campbell River GREG SAKAKI BLACK PRESS

The future of the Nanaimo Clippers junior A hockey club is contingent on the outcome of an upcoming referendum on a sports and events centre on the Harbour City’s waterfront. But that future could include Campbell River. Our city’s name is being bandied about as a possible location for Nanaimo’s BCHL franchise which may be on the move if Nanaimo is able to attract a major junior franchise. At the B.C. Hockey League’s governors’ meeting last week, the Clippers filled in other teams about their situa-

tion. “We just made the league aware that there’s potential for a new event centre and that the rumour is that if the event centre comes in, that a WHL team will closely follow, if not immediately,” said David LeNeveu, Clippers president. “Now, we’re not party to any of those discussions, so we can’t say one way or the other. We’re just making the [BCHL] aware that this could be what was happening and to prepare, in case that did happen.” He said the idea of major junior and junior A hockey trying to coexist in Nanaimo would be a detriment to the success of both clubs.

“Could we do it? Yeah. Will we do it? I don’t know. We’ve got to keep every option available on the table, but it’s definitely not the most likely case scenario,” LeNeveu said. Another possibility is moving the team. BCHL commissioner John Grisdale said Campbell River is a location that would have to be considered. “There has to be an agreement both ways for the ownership in Nanaimo to relocate there and the league to approve it … and we can’t do anything there that’s not fair to the junior B group (Campbell River Storm),” Grisdale said. He said the BCHL’s

franchise committee has not had any discussions about relocating the Clippers and said there’s nothing the league can do on that front until Nanaimo’s referendum. Nothing has been confirmed yet as far as a major junior hockey team being relocated to the Harbour City, though the Nanaimo Event Centre Phase 1 report noted that it was conducted with the understanding “that there may be an opportunity to attract a Western Hockey League Team to Nanaimo and that these opportunities do not happen often.” The Kootenay Ice, based in Cranbrook, is the team that could be on the move.

The Parliamentary Session was adjourned until Jan. 30, and MP Rachel Blaney will be taking the concerns of the riding back with her. In her most recent poll of the riding, she said the most common issues brought forward had to do with seniors, health care and housing. Housing In early December Blaney tabled a private members bill that would add the right to housing to the Canadian Bill of Rights. “We know, based on watching this that proper housing is a basic human right. And when housing needs are met it really does provide some general prosperousness and a stronger community,” she said. Blaney believes that adopting this bill would increase the ability of claimants to identify how high housing rates apply to them, open the avenues to access and increase landlord accountability. She quoted an example from Powell River, where there isn’t any emergency housing. “So if people want to go stay somewhere they’re actually being put on the ferry to come over to Comox and find hous-

ing for the night there, which really isn’t a very good solution,” she said. Electoral reform Last week’s change in cabinet ministers has Blaney hopeful that progress will be made on electoral reform. She said that the last minister in charge of the project “really rejected” the 300 page report that the committee presented. “I am hopeful that a new minister being elected will show a more respectful tone,” she said. She is also concerned that the survey that was put forward was not really looking at the issues that citizens are bringing forward. “I find it very interesting that, in the questionnaire to people they ask a couple of questions around online voting, and if you actually read the report you will see from the witnesses that any kind of online voting is of high concern, its just not secure enough for a national election,” she said. With only four months left before Election Canada’s deadline, Blaney is hoping to see action and positive outcomes with this change in leadership. She doesn’t know what the system will look like, but based on feedback she knows it has to be something more proportional.

Healthcare Blaney, and the NDPs remain very concerned about healthcare across the country. “The cuts that Harper promised for the transfers to the provinces and territories look like they are going to happen regardless of the Liberal government coming in,” she said. “That’s unfortunate because during the campaign they were very clear that they would not make those health care transfers less.” In particular she has heard from her remote constituents that accessing health care professionals is a huge burden. “There is a lot of frustration with accessibility to services and how often people have to travel and little reimbursement there is included in that,” she said. Along with health care cuts Blaney expressed disappointment that there was no increase to home care, in the 2016 budget, as was promised. She is hoping that the Liberal’s will not go ahead with the Conservative’s cuts and that she will see some good faith in their negotiations with the provinces so that there will be strong health care in the future.

brought up over and over again in parliament. “People want to look at opportunities they want to build their business they want to increase their business, they want to have more of an attraction strategy and because of the weakness of the internet capacity it has become a big challenge,” she said. She sees those issues only increasing if something isn’t done so she is putting pressure on service providers to expand their services as well as the government to follow through on their promise to make sure everybody has accessibility to broadband. Fentanyl crisis So many people have been dying because of fentanyl and Blaney and the NDP have been pushing for the government to announce a public health emergency, which would release 90 days of federal funding. “We want to see the federal government actually call it a public health emergency so that those resources can be released and we can actually start dealing with it in a more meaningful way,” she said. Blaney wants to see those resources go frontline workers who are out there working “outrageous hours” trying to address the problem.

Internet access Blaney said access for all to the internet is another issue that is

Next week contractors for the John Hart project will begin placing rock in a section of the Campbell River immediately upstream of the John Hart generating station. The rock will create a temporary work pad on the right bank of the river that will allow for the preparations to remove the ‘rock plug’ left in place between the river and the tunnel outlet from the new underground powerhouse “On one side of the rock plug is the newly completed water outlet works that’s been excavated about 20 metres downward, and on the other side is the Campbell River,” said BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “That plug keeps the water out of the construction area.” InPower BC, the project contractor, will be using clean rock from the on-site blasting work. The rock will be placed in the river by

excavator, and may take a few weeks to complete. Watson said extensive planning and environmental considerations went into the work, including approvals with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Environmental monitors will also be in place. “The rock pad placement will be taking place in a deep, slow moving pool where fish do not spawn, and is happening within a work window that’s the right time during the fish life cycle,” says Watson. “Drilling equipment will then be placed onto the rock pad to drill into all the key areas of the rock plug. Then, at the end of 2017, there will be one controlled blast to remove the entire rock plug, which will also happen when no spawning salmon are in the river.” To ensure the placed rock doesn’t move from

potential high water flows during flood risk management operations, holes will be drilled through the rocks with cables running through them to create a single mass. The pad will then behave like a single rock unit. Once the rock blast takes place at the end of 2017, the rock pad and the broken up rock plug material will be removed by a crane and excavator. The rock removal will allow water to flow from the tunnel into the river once the new facility is in operation. The approximate 600 metre long tailrace tunnel from the new underground powerhouse to the Campbell River is planned to be complete this spring. The John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project remains on schedule to have the new hydro facility commissioned in fall 2018.

New Hospital, New Equipment ... No Need for Funding?

“We’re proud of our past and we’re not going anywhere because there’s still so much to be done.”

ith much anticipation, the brand new Campbell River District Hospital will be opening later this year. This state of the art building is home to many new pieces of medical equipment. This has raised an important question in our community: “If everything is new, why do we need to continue raising funds for our hospital?”.

-Stacey Marsh, Executive Director

The truth is, much of the equipment which we currently use is being moved to the new hospital. All equipment that has a suitable lifespan is being carried forward to avoid waste and unnecessary expenditures.

“On behalf of the Island Health Executive and Board, I would like to acknowledge and thank the Campbell River Hospital Foundation for the work it does to raise funds to help enhance the delivery of health care services to the patients we serve,... We look forward to working with the Foundation in the years ahead.” - Dr. Brendan Carr, President & CEO, Island Health.

Over time, the equipment which has been brought over, as well as the new equipment will require replacement. New techniques and technologies will also create the need for new purchases. That is where the Hospital Foundation comes in. Since 1989 the Foundation has been assisting Island Health with approximately 18% of its annual purchases. The Foundation is also very involved in staff education projects.

AWAY GAME: 830 West Island Highway, Parksville PUCK DROPS @ 7:30 PM

The U16 Upper Island Riptide defeated the Saanich Fusion 4-0 on a rainy Saturday afternoon on the Robron Turf.

Midget Tyees set torrid pace The Strathcona Toyota Midget Tyees continued in torrid late season form this past weekend with a pair of wins Saturday against Oceanside in Parksville and Sunday against Tri Port at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. On Saturday, Oceanside started the game with an aggressive forecheck, quickly broken down by Campbell River’s patient defense, anchored by Doug Campbell and Liam Rivett, but with

emergent efforts from Bryce Nahri and Clinton Nelson. The Tyees opened the scoring on an incisive breakout pass from Rivett to Seth Parker creating a 2-1 with the rapid transition, finished nicely by Jaxon Ward, one-timing Parkers‚Äô cross-ice pass. Oceanside had their defense pinching up in the neutral zone, with the Tyees victims of several open ice hits early in

the game. That quickly changed as Campbell River created odd man rushes with excellent puck support and passing. The Tyees dominated possession, but were forced to play shorthanded frequently, with the officials taking a unique and creative approach: great for an art exhibition, less so for hockey. After giving up a power play goal against, the Tyees responded on

their own man-advantage, with Lukas Lund filling at the point for Rivett, drawing his man before sliding the puck to Nelson who found Jacob Hartley alone with a beautiful diagonal pass, Hartley finishing clinically. Garrett Lee and Lund formed a dynamic short-handed duo, and Lund put the Tyees up for good on a dominant penalty kill, inevitably burying his third scoring chance of

a single shift, assisted by Rivett. Nelson finished a strong game with a goal off his own rebound, set up by Hartley: 4-2 Tyees, in a game that should have been 8-2, tempered by excellent Parksville goaltending. Dominik Bellefleur was tested less frequently, but was spectacular at times. Sunday’s game in Campbell River saw Tri Port’s fast, disciplined Eagles try to duplicate

LNG: SAFE, CLEAN, RELIABLE What is LNG? LNG stands for LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS. It’s the same clean-burning natural gas British Columbians use every day to heat their homes and cook their meals. The difference is it’s cold and it’s a liquid. By cooling gas into a liquid, its volume shrinks by 600 times, making it easier to safely store and transport to markets around the world.

LNG is odourless, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive and non-explosive.

China

1.6 MILLION Burning coal is the BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR to poor air quality in China

Poor air quality kills

5.5 MILLION PEOPLE worldwide every year

India

1.4 MILLION

LNG is seen as a transitional power source that can improve global air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is good for everyone.

RIDE James Durand

an upset against the Tyees in Port Hardy, getting a bit of help from a breakdown in home-team discipline. The game saw the Tyees outshoot the Eagles 48-16, but Tri Port led after the first 1-0. Early in the second Lukas Lund was assessed a misconduct, sitting the next 13 minutes, waiting for a play stoppage after his 10 minute sentence for “discussion.” He was back for the third, somewhat motivated, and Lund tied the game a minute into the third, on a brilliant cross-crease pass from captain Owen Boyd with Nelson picking up the second assist. Then, after Tri Port scored following a neutral zone Tyee turn-over, one of a series, Boyd and Rivet set up Lund to take the lead again. After a second Eagle goal, Campbell River went ahead for good midway in the third on a 5 on 3, with Campbell and Nahri setting up Lund again for the hat-trick. Lund would score once more, short-handed, to make it four, the goal unassisted though the Tyees penalty kill collectively choked away the Eagle’s possession: 4-2 Tyees. Ben Regier had a strong 2 way game for the Tyees. Errors continue to plague Campbell River, but while the coaching team will want the boys to tighten up and work on their system it is always a positive when a team can feel free to be creative, can play without fear of mistakes, and every player can feel like they have a role and a right to contribute. That being said, playoffs loom. The Midget Tyees will host Oceanside on Jan. 28 at 4 p.m. and Comox Valley on Jan. 29 at 2:30 p.m. to begin Island League Playoffs.

ver been on that ride when you are flowing perfectly and having the ride of your life, then you see some blowdown and it all comes to a stop? You get off the bike, grab your saw and clear the trail. Then get back into the flow, maybe. On certain rides, the flow just doesn’t come back. The disruption killed it. It’s still a good ride, but you kind of wish you hadn’t bothered with the trail work and just hopped over the log with grace as you enjoyed the amazing ride that day. The next guy will probably cut out the blow down right? When I started mountain biking, it was ingrained in me that you never rely on the next guy and if everyone just stops and does one little bit, we all benefit from a better trail network and a better biking community. It seems lately I have faltered a bit. I still do trail work, cut out

Fishing Corner with

Don Daniels

There has been a few more boat trailers parked at the Big Rock boat launch and Monday the weather improved enough for some to get out and head toward the Lighthouse where undersize winter springs are being hooked. It may be better than heading to Deep Bay where sea lions are going after bait while the Kyle Taylor and Jessica Parker were out mating season is here. in the chuck winter fishing in December. The same goes for sea lions near Denman Island. For some, getting a salmon in the along with the crabs and, of course, boat is a bonus and there are some it depends where you set the traps. locals who have a knack for getting I get to stop in at Roberts Lake twice fish in the boat like Rick Hickey from a week and on a recent stop, Lorna Campbell River whom I met last fall. Duncan mentioned that a trout was Rick has now moved to Gold River caught and released at the north end and will be operating his charter of the lake that made the 5.1 pounder fishing company. I look forward caught a while back look small. This to fishing at Nootka Sound in the trout could be around seven pounds. year to come. Rick reports that at A lady had caught the trout fishing this time of year, winter springs and from shore. halibut are deeper than normal. The Roberts Lake has depths of 181 feet prawns are still in 300 feet of water of water and trout do wonder around

and can be can be fished with lures in the areas where it drops off. There is a bait ban on Roberts Lake and many trout can be found in 20 feet of water. In Sayward, the Salmon River looks fishable and one of the locals who fly fishes had mentioned that fishing both the Salmon and Quinsam Rivers has been good for seven and eight-pound steelhead. Give it another three weeks and more anglers will be fishing the local rivers. Last Sunday, a group of 10 met at Tyee Marine for my beginners fly tying sessions which will continue at the Campbell River Library on Sunday, Feb. 12 starting at 1 p.m. A fly pattern I have tested locally that gets results is the Humpy tied in a 10 to 16 hook size with a floss body in any colour along with deer hair and a saddle brown hackle up front. With the cold weather, some local lakes, like Beavertail, are iced over.
