‘Targeted’ assault on South Alder Mike DAvies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Early Wednesday afternoon police responded to a call requesting their assistance and arrived at a house on the 700-block of South Alder Street to find three individuals “in need of medical assistance.” The individuals, according to a release from Cpl. Gord Hay of the

Campbell River RCMP, were taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries. “The RCMP Street Crew Unit is (currently) investigating with the assistance of the Forensic Identification Unit, Police Dog Service and General Duty Members,” the release said. The release also states the assault was a targeted occurrence and

“there is no concern for the general public.” As of Mirror print deadline, no additional information was available, and no arrests had been made. “We don’t have anything else we can say at this time due to the ongoing nature of the investigation,” Hay said, but watch campbellrivermirror.com for updates as they become available.

Laidlaw: CAO in middle of Saanich controversy

Continued from Pg. 1

delivered to him and his council for a brief look at a meeting after last November’s civic election but because the newly-elected mayor and council was taking office shortly afterwards, the report was taken back from the “lame duck” council to be given to the new one. “The previous council saw it for one hour (in) the two weeks between the election and the new council taking office,” Jakeway said. Jakeway lost the mayor’s seat in that election to former Coun. Andy Adams while two members of the previous council were re-elected and joined by three new councillors and a returning councillor from previous councils. Asked about the conclusion of the report, Jakeway, who reiterated that he was going by memory, said, “It was not a good scene.” Contacted by the Campbell River Mirror, Laidlaw acknowledged that were was an investigation by Grounds but “any error on my part was minor and inadvertent and certainly did not cause any harm to the city.” Laidlaw said his retirement was planned in October but following the November election, he stayed on to help Mayor Adams with the transition to a new council. He said he had originally planned to stay for a three year term in Campbell River but ended up extending it to just short of four years. “The mayor (Adams) is correct, my retirement was my decision,” Laidlaw said. “I enjoyed my time in Campbell River and believed I left on good terms with the mayor and council.” Laidlaw must have been referring to the current mayor because he said he didn’t have such a good relationship with the previous mayor.

“I acknowledge the final three years was difficult as the relationship between the mayor and the rest of council was dysfunctional in that he would not accept direction from council,” Laidlaw said. A Victoria magazine, Focus, and its website, focusonline.ca, obtained a document outlining the terms of reference for Grounds’ investigation and another informing Laidlaw he was being investigated which was signed by then-mayor Jakeway. The documents were attached to the magazine’s story on its website. Jakeway said he had nothing to do with the website obtaining the documents. The letter to Laidlaw from Jakeway labelled “Stricly private & confidential” and “Hand delivered” said he was b e i n g i nv e s t i g at e d because of a “possible, apparent or real conflict of interest between you, Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. and your company ACKL Consulting Ltd., as well as possible disclosure by you of confidential information belonging to the City of Campbell River.” The letter says, “The City’s concerns involve whether you have performed paid work for Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. or another entity, while Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. or another entity has been engaged to provide services to the City. The City’s concerns extend to the possibility that you may have a business relationship with Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. or other entities and may have been paid for services provided by you to Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. or other entities in circumstances where you have had a role in awarding or recommending the award of contacts by the City to Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. or other entities. In addition, the City’s concerns involved whether

you have disclosed the City’s confidential information to Jerry Berry Consultants Inc. or another entity.” The investigation was done in November last year by Grounds and cost the city $25,523. Jakeway told Focus that Grounds’ investigation determined that Laidlaw’s actions constituted a conflict of interest but it was decided to leave it for the new council to deal with. No action from council was ever announced but Laidlaw left his CAO job with the city in January. Adams took issue with the Focus report, saying it is “completely inaccurate that this council took no action or didn’t deal with it. We obviously received it and discussed it.” Council then made a determination as to what the next step was, Adams said, but he stopped there adding “what I can say is, that is in-camera information.” The bottom line for Adams was that Laidlaw took on a job as interim CAO that extended to nearly four years and that council was happy with his work. In announcing Laidlaw’s retirement in January, Adams said, “On behalf of City Council, we extend our appreciation for the good work that Mr. Laidlaw has done over the past four years. And we wish him and his wife the best in their next adventure, wherever that may lead them.” Laidlaw said then that “for the organization, and for me, this is a good time to start a new chap-

ter. The city has a new mayor and council with an ambitious four-year term ahead of them, and leaving now gives them time to select a new city manager, who can work alongside them throughout their term. I believe I can leave now knowing the city is in a better place than when I first started.” Laidlaw started at the city in 2011 and presided over a period of transition with the Elk Falls pulp mill shutting down permanently just prior to his arrival. He also was in charge of city administration during a period of turmoil and contentious relations with thenMayor Jakeway. Jakeway was often at odds with city senior staff, accusing them of being the tail that wagged the dog, i.e., leading elected city councillors instead of being lead by them. Jakeway was also often in conflict with his fellow city councillors, refusing to succumb quietly when he lost democraticallyheld votes at the council table. He would often take his opinions to the media and was censured by council who believed his role was to represent the majority view of council. Jakeway didn’t agree.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire

the installation of protection and monitoring software – also called spyware. The installation of that software involved another bureaucrat with a Campbell River connection, corporate services director Laura Ciarniello. Ciarniello and Laidlaw worked together in Campbell River where Ciarniello was manager of corporate services. Ciarniello was involved with a group of Saanich administrators who decided to install the protection and monitoring software on their workstations, two executive assistants, councillors and the mayor, according to Focusonline. Focus outlined Laidlaw and Ciarniello’s role in the controversy: “Laidlaw was tasked with investigating the circumstances of the spyware installation for the District of Saanich. His report was released on June 24 and has done nothing to stem the controversy with Laidlaw’s own conflict of interest background and his previous professional relationship with Ciarniello reflecting negatively on his ability to be unbiased in his report. The report did not find any blame and wrongdoing,” according to Focus writers David Broadland and Daniel Palmer. Laidlaw acknowledges

After leaving in January, Laidlaw wasn’t idle long because he was soon hired under contract to be interim CAO of the District of Saanich. There he parachuted right into the middle of a shockingly contentious situation that might have made his Campbell River tenure look like a picnic. On Jan. 12, Saanich’s new mayor Richard Atwell held a press conference to announce that city staff had been spying on his computer through

the controversial nature of the situation in Saanich. “I am working in a highly politicized environment in Saanich where there are definitely some similarities

to my final three years in Campbell River,” Laidlaw told the Mirror. Laidlaw said that his “final” retirement will be coming soon as Saanich has begun the search for a new CAO.

Blaze averted after transformer sparks

A potential brush fire was averted Wednesday after a loose tree branch fell across a pair of BC Hydro transformers and caused sparking and a small flame in a wooded, industrial area in Campbellton. “I just heard a buzzing and was looking around to see where it was coming from,” said Dallas Forbes, part of a Vancouver Island Paving Co. crew installing blacktop across Perkins Road from the power pole. “I saw those three (transformer) boxes and saw a flame coming out.” Forbes’ crew boss promptly called 911 and grabbed a small hose the paving crew had on hand to spray down the brush around the power pole until firefighters arrived. “We stayed there until these guys showed up,” Forbes said, with a nod to the fire department members, “then we got out of their way.” The pavers also yelled across the corner to the

Az-Tec Freight office to alert employees. Pam Stevens pulled out her phone to shoot pictures as firefighters hosed down the trees and heavy brush below the pole. “It didn’t amount to much — fortunately,” said Stevens. “Some sparks came out and there was actually a candle flame, a little bigger than a candle flame. It kind of smelled like something was melting.” When the fire department arrived, members found the fire out and one transformer breaker tripped. An evergreen bough rested across a line connecting two of the transformers, which had caused the circuit to arc and create the sparks and flame before the breaker tripped, acting

fire department captain Mark McKenzie said. “Our main job at that point was to hose down the brush real well, in case there were any more sparks,” said McKenzie. Vancouver Island has been under an open fire ban due to hot, dry conditions that have prevailed throughout much of the spring and summer, boosting the threat of flame or sparks potentially jumping from a transformer. The fire department called BC Hydro to send a crew to remove the branch and reset the breaker, and waited on the scene until its arrival. McKenzie said a contract crew had been at the site one day earlier trimming hazard branches from the trees around the transformer pole, and said it was possible a cut branch had been hung up in the tree before shaking loose. Whatever the cause, he was glad there was not more for his crew to do. “They’re easier to put out if they never start,” he said.

Your actions can make a difference Nestlé takes water out of the ground near Hope, B.C., puts it through a filter and sells it for billions of dollars. They pay zero dollars for the product, and the product is the lifeblood of mankind. Soon, however, they will have to pay a nominal fee to access our groundwater and sell it for a massive profit, and people have essentially lost their minds about that. And for good reason, I’d say. The opposing sides on this debate seem to be A) Charge Nestlé more for the water they’re taking or B) Don’t do that, because then it’ll be considered “selling” the water and it’ll open the potential floodgates (pun intended) for more corporations to come buy up all our water because of free trade agreements and other factors. I have a different idea. I simply try not to buy Nestlé products. I’m doing my part, however small, to put them out of business altogether, because then we won’t have to worry about how much water they’re taking out of the ground and how much they’re paying for it.

Sunday marks the 46th anniversary of the first moonwalk. Neil Armstrong’s words, “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind” have been forever etched in history. It’s the leaps since that step that are so awe-inspiring. Here are a few we find of particular significance: Martin Cooper forever changed the way we communicate in 1973, with the invention of the cellular phone. According to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, an estimated 28.4 million Canadians are now wireless phone subscribers. That’s 80 per cent of Canadians, calling, texting and taking selfies. Louise Joy Brown was We say: 46 years, born July 25, 1978 and is a good time to was recognized in the medical journals as the take stock of our first human to have been accomplishments born after conception by in vitro fertilization, giving birth to the term ‘test tube baby’ and giving hope to many couples who otherwise would never experience the blessing of childbirth. Alex Jeffries devised DNA fingerprinting in 1984, forever changing the concept of the legal term ‘beyond a shadow of a doubt’ - not only in regards to convictions, but also for exonerating those wrongly accused of crimes. Advances in the medical world could be a category of its own, with robotic and laser surgeries, amazing transplant technology and the artificial heart, but to touch the surface. The auto industry could also have its own chapter, with the invent of everything from electronic fuel injection to air bags, to the widespread use of GPS systems. It wasn’t until 1972 that colour televisions out-sold the black-and-white models. Now we have 3DTV. Video games have come a long way since the days of Pong - the 1972 invention that gave birth to an entire industry. Thanks Atari. And of course, there is the whole computer era. In 1969, a computer was something that took up an entire Bat-cave. Now most people in Canada carry one in their pockets or purses. Obviously there isn‚Äôt enough room to list even the most important of inventions, and we are not inferring that any of the aforementioned advances would make such a list. A famous quote was simply brought to our attention, which gave us pause for thought. What’s on your list? -Black Press

Africa. (That’s Nestlé, by the way.) At least it’s easy to avoid Nestlé products. They really don’t make anything that someone else doesn’t make better, in my opinion. I’ll take a Clif bar over a Powerbar and a Mars bar over an Oh Henry or Butterfinger every time. And if you’re going to buy coffee whitener instead of actual coffee cream, does it really matter if it’s Coffeemate or some no name brand? Heck, I even prefer a Pizza Pop over a Hot Pocket if I want to put pizza-flavoured garbage in my mouth. Okay, sure, Smarties are way better than M&Ms, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. Oh, crap. I just realized while researching this column that Nestlé owns Häagen Dazs. I guess I have to find someone who makes a really good ice cream on a stick with a ribbon of salted caramel in the middle. But I can probably do that, and when I do, it’ll likely be less expensive – in more ways than just how much comes out of the bank account when I tap my card at the front of the store.

SUMMER 3x7

SALE

Why do I have the flu? Every summer I hear of cases of the flu and I am not surprised. Recently I saw a patient to whom I had recommended a high dose of vitamin D and that she not stop taking it in the summer, as her levels were 60 nmol/L and I was trying to get them into the 150 nmol/L range. So when I checked her levels in June, sure enough they had only risen to the low 80 range and she had stopped taking her vitamin D. “It is the summer I figure I am getting enough!” So why am I encouraging Canadians to optimize their levels? Well the importance of vitamin D is long; here goes: calcium absorption, bone health maintenance, gut mucosal integrity, maintains muscle mass, antiinflammatory, antirheumatic, anti-autoimmune benefits, immunosupportive and anti-infection benefits, anti-cancer benefits, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, prevents deficiency induced musculoskeletal pain, weakness and seizures. And of course prevents the flu! So have your 25(OH) checked, (it costs about $70) and prove it to yourself that you are taking enough. Most naturopathic physicians will recommend 4000Iu’s per day and I have found over the last four years of testing patients in my clinic that this is not enough for most. A Canadian study published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research in August, 2010 found that 37,000 deaths per year in Canada could be prevented by taking therapeutic dosages of vitamin D. Another reason folks get the flu during the summer is poor eating habits when they are travelling or having company. One way to help offset these temporary changes, as they are best temporary, is to take a probiotic every day. This helps maintain your guard on full time duty at the level of the intestinal mucosal lining to head off invaders at the pass. The HMF probiotics I use in my practice are viable out of the

fridge for three months when I feel I am fighting , making for easy travel. something? Another trick HTSF is a to give your homeopathic flu body a rest combination that is to fast on works easily and fruits or vegwell within 24-48 etables for one hours of taking it day. Be sure three to six times to maintain per day. Another your bowel reason that it is in function also.

Adventure, love and a rising author come to Coho Books

It’s summer – a time of travel, new adventures, and, for some, looking for the love of their life. Many women can identify with searching for their meaning and love in life and one B.C. author is coming to town in support of her latest book, perfect for fostering self love and a sense of adventure. The No. 1 Amazon Bestseller and a Kindle AllStar Finding Fraser is now available in paperback, and the “Finding Fraser Book Tour Extravaganza” will be pulling in to Coho Books on Shoppers Row, taking over the store from 1 to 3 p.m. today (Friday) where author KC Dyer will be on hand to sign copies of her book and tell “behind-thescenes” stories of its creation. Finding Fraser has received acclaim from the literary world, even from the author who inspired Dyer to create the work. “Jamie Fraser would be Deeply Gratified at having inspired such a charmingly funny, poignant story - and so am I,” said New York Times Bestselling author Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series of books. Awards will be handed out at the event for “Best Legs in a Kilt,” and “Best Scottish Knitwear Work in Summer.”

Filberg Park welcomes the global rhythms of Delhi 2 Dublin The second concert in the 2015 Filberg Park Concert Series will welcome the high energy global rhythms of one of Canada’s hottest festival acts, and is being touted as the “biggest dance party the Filberg Heritage Park has ever seen.” Delhi 2 Dublin (D2D) was a happy accident born out of Vancouver’s Celtic Fest in 2006. Their sound started as an electronic fusion between bhangra

beats and Celtic fiddle and has since grown into anything from dub reggae to breakbeats to just straight-up happy dance music, and they’re playing the Concert Series July 23. Pick up your tickets at Blue Heron Books in Comox, Long and McQuade in Courtenay or online at filberg.com for this event, which organizers say will be “Part Bollywood wedding, part Celtic kitchen party, and

all electronic dance fest.” Founded by Tarun Nayar (Beats Without Borders), Sanjay Seran (from live bhangra act Signia), and Ravi Binning (a bhangra dancer and dhol player), it was obvious D2D had something people wanted. Word spread about their astonishingly energetic live shows and tours grew to include festival performances in Europe, Asia and Australia. The band

has kept up with the pace, producing a new album bi-annually since their inception. The Filberg Summer Concert Series is a fundraiser for the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park, a volunteer driven organization that manages an integral cultural and heritage landmark for our community. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7. Come prepared to dance!

Five Campbell River dance students to represent Canada

CR DanceXtreme dancers (left to right) Taylor Ring, Kiara Ostrosser, Jesse Devlin, Cohan Caflisch, and Emma Voltera are hard at work preparing for the World HipHop Championships in Italy this fall.

Taylor Ring, Kiara Ostrosser, Jesse Devlin, Cohan Caflisch and Emma Voltera, all students at CR DanceXtreme, will join fellow Team Canada dancers from Oct. 20 to 25 to compete in this prestigious competition. The students auditioned for the Canadian National Dance Team last November and were thrilled to hear they had made the team. CR DanceXtreme owners Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt are delighted to have their students represent Canada at this world event. “We are so thrilled and proud,”

Mynatt said. “This is the second year in a row CR DanceXtreme dancers have made this team and it’s a testament to our dancers’ hard work and commitment.” Mynatt said not only are these dancers training and practicing for many hours each week, many of the practices require travel off the island. They are also looking for sponsors and will be holding some fundraising events in the community. Donations to support the dancers can be made and additional information can be found on the group’s website hiphop2015.ca

Max Streicher’s fascinating inflatable art has been seen in major centres across the planet – from Taiwan and Tokyo to Vienna, Prague and major Canadian cities. When the opportunity to bring his Waking Giants inflatable exhibition to our community became possible, the Campbell River Art Gallery jumped at the chance. Waking Giants, sponsored by Denise Mitchell Interiors, was one of two new exhibitions that opened at the Gallery last week. Attendance at

this exciting exhibition has been very high, but time is limited to see the works – they will leaving for another show as of Aug. 7. Streicher works extensively with inflatable technology, creating art that is as much about deflation as it is about inflation. Waking Giants is an homage to the famous terracotta soldiers and horses of China’s Emperor Quin Shi Huang. “In bringing my horses and figures to life by breathing air into them,

I feel that I share something with the creators of that terracotta army,” Streicher said. “My motivation is likely of a different sort. I am not interested in an expression of might or eternity. On the contrary, my work with inflatable sculpture is always about bringing the viewer back to the body, to breath, to an inner, quiet power and to an awareness of the tenuousness and fleeting nature of our existence.” The Gallery is also delighted to be featuring artist Stephen Laid-

The City of Campbell River has hired a new city manager. Deborah Sargent will take over the reins September 14 as chief administrative officer. Sargent, who has served as the chief administrative officer of the Town of Smithers, B.C. for the last nine years, is a registered community planner with more than 20 years of experience in local government. Mayor Andy Adams said Sargent is exactly what the city is looking for. “Deborah’s experience, along with her innovative, collaborative style and results-driven approach will bring stability and skills that will complement our senior management team and supporting staff,” Adams said. “We are looking forward to Deborah joining us in early September.” During her tenure as chief administrative officer in Smithers, Sargent helped the town reach key achievements such as the establishment of a community forest, an airport runway expan-

Western Canada now see the City of Campbell River as a desirable place to work, live and play, which is a good indication of the positive changes that our community is experiencing,” Adams said. Sargent will take over for Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manger of operations, who has been filling in as acting city manager since the city’s former city manager, Andy Laidlaw, retired in January. Adams said city staff, and in particular, Neufeld, have done an admirable job of keeping the city operating while short-handed. “Our senior management team, under the direction of Acting CAO Ron Neufeld, have done an excellent job in maintaining city operations during this interim period,” Adams said. “Council is extremely appreciative of the job staff have done. Now, for the first time in many years, we will have a complete team to carry out and implement initiatives, services and projects for Campbell River.”

Regional district wants to improve Internet access KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District is investigating how it can bring high-speed Internet to all communities within its borders. Regional directors, at its July 8 board meeting, supported conducting a broadband capacity study to determine where

the gaps are. The board voted to spend up to a maximum of $10,000 on the study, with the money to come from the strategic priorities, general administration fund. Expanding broadband data services, as well as cell phone service, is a strategic priority for 2015 and the board has $2,000 allocated in the financial plan for that

strategy. Jim Abram, director for Quadra Island and the board chair, thanked Chief Administrative Officer Russ Hotsenpiller for bringing the issue forward at last week’s meeting. “I’d like to congratulate Russ for doing this,” Abram said. “We’ve been discussing this ad nauseam for years now.”

According to Hotsenpiller, the study will investigate the specific limitations to high speed services in the region and identify priorities. “At present, the SRD (Strathcona Regional District) has not developed a capacity study to understand the specific technological limitations that occur across the region,” Hotsenpiller

said. “As such we do not have enough information to apply in a coordinated manner for broadband projects.” He said without the study, it’s difficult to determine where grant monies, when they become available, should be applied. “If we were successful and got a few hundred thousand dollars, where

would that go?” Hotsenpiller said. Campbell River Director Andy Adams agreed that without identifying the lapses in service, it’s impossible to know where they are. “If you don’t have a plan, you’re not in a position to take grant opportunities as they become available,” Adams said. The regional district’s broadband capacity

study will be similar to one undertaken by the Regional District of Mount Waddington (North Island) which provided an analysis of current capacity as well as other strategies for the regional district to work on. Hotsenpiller said the Strathcona Regional District will model its study on Mount Waddington’s but be more detailed.

Whales enjoy killer provincials Mackenzie Padington amassed five medals and teammate Conner Skuse claimed two golds and two silvers last week as the Campbell River Killer Whales swimming club competed in the five-day AAA Provincial Championship meet in Victoria. The five-day meet, held in record-high temperatures, included both pool and open-water disciplines. The Killer Whales delegation included 20 swimmers, who placed eighth overall and fourth in the women’s team stand-

ings while facing more than 750 swimmers from across B.C. and the Yukon Territory. In addition to the strong showings by veterans like Padington and Skuse, the Killer Whales got a promising glimpse of the future from some of their younger competitors. Brooke Wegner and Kara Beauregard combined for seven medals, and shared the podium in both the 200-metre butterfly and the 800-metre freestyle. Beauregard rewrote the club 10-andunder record book with

Hoff 14th in world track Campbell River’s Brendan Hoff placed eighth in his heat and finished 14th overall in the men’s 1,500-metre run at the World Youth Track and Field Championships Wednesday in Cali, Colombia. Hoff, 17, completed the race in three minutes, 56.64 seconds, missing a berth in Friday’s 12-man finals heat by 1.34 seconds. A multiple provincial and national youth champion, Hoff had qualified for the world championships by running a career-best 3:51.17 in Toronto last month. He had hoped to lower that time even further and crack the top 10 at the worlds, but the

new record times in every event she entered, and Wegner won both the 100 and 200 butterfly. On the boys side, Carson Dunn enjoyed a breakout meet with medals in the 50 breast stroke and the 200 individual medley in the 11-under class. “Carson found himself moving up in the rankings all weekend by taking off big chunks of time in every race he swam,” Killer Whales coach Darryl Rudolph said. The girls 13-14 relay team of Jasmine Skuse, Cianna Dunn, Malayna

Beaudin, Jamiliya Wellard and Emmy Stapff teamed up to claim silver in the 4x50 medley relay and bronze in the 4x200 freestyle relay. “The competition in this category was very competitive and the Killer Whales showed once again that they were one of the top teams in the Province,” said Rudolph. The final day of competition was given over to open-water racing on Thetis Lake, a new experience for many of the swimmers. The races, open to competitors 11

to 19 years of age, ranged from one to five kilometres in length. “Some of them were a little timid at first, as the course was quite daunting,” said Rudolph. “But the timidness went out the door once the race started.” Paddington claimed bronze in the 15-over 5K race, and the Dunn and Skuse siblings combined with Beaudin for six top10 finishes. Six swimmers qualified for the national championships July 26 in Quebec City.

Eyes on the prize Wyatt Murray turns aggressively on a pitch, making solid contact during one of the Mosquito AAA Tyees’ games Saturday against the Victoria AAA Tier 2 Eagles on Saturday. The Tyees split the day with the Eagles with a 15-5 win and a 9-5 loss. The teams met again Sunday and played to a 10-10 draw, with the second game of the scheduled doubleheader cancelled due to rain. The Mosquitos play again this Sunday at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at Nunn’s Creek Park.

high altitude of Cali may have played a factor in slower times in Wednesday’s two heat races. His personal best time would have placed third in world qualifying, as only two runners cracked 3:52. The top time was posted by Kenya’s Kumari Taki, at 3:48.45. Hoff ’s finish placed him in the middle of the 27-runner field, which was split into two heats. The top four finishers in each heat automatically qualified for Friday’s final, along with the next four-fastest times overall. Canada’s other entry, Edward Hayfron of Ontario, placed 25th in 4:11.39.

NINE & DINE

Down to Saratoga for a quick nine

Mike Davies, Campbell River Mirror You know those times when you’re about to get off work, you’ve had a rough day, and wish you had time for a round of golf but you’re supposed to be at another thing in the evening? Or you’d like to play on Saturday morning, but there’s just too much to do around the house and you can’t be gone until noon or later, because that will just put you too far behind to get everything done? Saratoga Beach Golf Club might be just the answer you’re looking for. Just a ten minute drive south – depending on where you live, I suppose – you’ll find this hidden gem by taking a left after the Oyster River Bridge, and you’ll only need about an hour and 15 minutes once you’re there for a nice little stroll and some interesting golf. An even split of par-3s and par-4s (ending with a short par-5), this par-33 nine-hole executive-style course can challenge you, but at just 2,316 yards from the tips, is playable for all levels of golfer, and at only $17 (and drive a cart around for only another $5), it’s easy on your wallet, as well. A few tips for your round:

$49 Per Person

A mid to long-iron off the tee on the par-4s is all most people will need, but you want to make sure you play to the proper side of the fairway to have a reasonable approach to the green. If you get caught on the inside of a dogleg, there’s generally little room to curve the ball around the trees, and even less room to go over (or under) them.

Package includes: Water shuttle from Painters Lodge to April Point, ground shuttle from April Point to Quadra Island Golf, greens fees and dinner at April Point

Also, mind your club selection coming off the elevated tee box at the third and seventh hole. They both play much shorter than the number on the sign, so take at least one club less on both holes. For example, I play a 52-degree wedge on the 141-yard third hole, and that’s my 125-yard club.

She will compete, along with Surumoto-Deshaies, in the PamAm championships in Bolivia Aug. 26-29.

Peewee Tyees snare silver

The Campbell River Pee Wee Tyees came within one run of their second consecutive tournament title of the summer season before settling for silver at the Noel Rehaume Memorial tournament last weekend in Pitt Meadows. Facing host Pitt Meadows in Sunday’s final, the Tyees pushed the game to extra innings before falling 7-6 to claim second place. Riley Sutherland

was named the team’s MVP for the game. Playing some of their best baseball of the year, the Tyees started off the tournament with an 11-10 win over the Agassiz A’s. With the game tied in the bottom of the fifth, Sutherland scored the winner on a sacrifice by Branden Lambert. Ethan Millar and Lambert were game MVP’s. Game two saw the Tyees down the Chilliwack Cougars 13-6 in an

She’s still waiting for her first national championship, but Campbell River’s Valerie Doyon did take over the top ranking in her class for Karate Canada and will represent the Junior National team in next month’s Pan-American Championships in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Doyon, the reigning national silver medalist in the 18-20 women’s division, won two bouts in a Junior National training camp last week in Toronto to assume the nation’s top ranking. “I’m super excited,” said Doyon, 18, who graduated from Carihi J.R. RaRdon/Campbell RiveR miRRoR last month. “I didn’t expect to do Campbell River’s Valerie Doyon as well as I did because I am batwill represent Team Canada in tling a few injuries. It’s motivating the upcoming Pan-Am Champi- to be number one in my division.” Doyon entered last week’s camp onships in Bolivia in August.

trout. Martin had said that Maple Lake in Cumberland was gated and he decided to try Echo. I gave Martin a fly that has worked well in many lakes in the area and we both limited out that afternoon. If any angler is interested in receiving this pattern I will gladly give you a couple of the flies to use, you can email me at dond@campbellrivermirror.com

At any given day in Campbell River you can see an increase in highway traffic with trucks and trailers moving boats to various saltwater destinations on Vancouver Island. Chinook fishing remains strong and will continue to be strong in the remaining weeks of summer heading into fall. As of Tuesday, July 14, the catch reports at the Marine Centre at Painters Lodge shows Chinooks coming in from 10 to 22 pounds. Of the last 29 registered fish reported, 23 were springs and six were pinks. Chris McKay got a 21-pound spring and Steve Young got a 21 pounder. Rod Fong came in with a 22-pounder. Last week I had a chance to fish with Ed Cargill and we explored the popular fishing areas around Campbell River. The majority of anglers were trolling Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson Hoochies. A few locals were fishing with Buzz Bombs and Zzinger lures and were having success between the Green Can and Francisco Point and hooking into some nice Chinook.

For those of you who fish for pinks, the Campbell River will be soon reeling them in. I expect the run to begin later in the month, about the third week in July.

Dry fly fishing on the Eve River Graham Kelly bert, Saskatchewan were fishing off the Pier Monday evening and they intend to come back to Campbell River. After the recent rain we had on the weekend, I decided to fish the local lakes and as the weather cooled, the fish bite was on. I met Martin Lamont from Comox who was using his pontoon boat fishing for

The locals and tourists fishing off Discovery Pier are mainly fishing in the evening hours but many anglers will spend countless hours fishing in hopes of catching a large Chinook. Two fish have been registered already in July and the seven others were caught between April 16 and June 30. A young family from Prince Al-

In Sayward, a few pinks ranging in size from 4 to 5 pounds have been caught but, in general, it’s a little early. Pink is the popular colour on the fly or with fishing lures but green and blue can also be used. Pink fly patterns are sold in big numbers at the local tackle shops and the people who tie their own will tie and lose a number of flies during the summer months. Patterns worth looking at are Pink Handlebar and Pink Bead head Muddler.
