BC Ferries “not providing the support our town centre needs” says mayor ALEX KURIAL Editor
CHOPPING DOWN THE COMPETITION Nobody has fun like the Loggers and this year nobody played better than them either as the spirited team emerged from last weekend’s Slo-Pitch Tournament with a Championship to their name. The Loggers were a perfect 4-0 in their slate of Saturday and Sunday games, culminating in a 9-7 win over the Burley Batters in the final. The squad celebrated the victory with many well earned sips from the George Zawadski Cup long into the night. Congratulations Loggers! Be sure to check back next week for a full tournament recap and photo gallery of all the action! 653 CLIFF ROAD - $1,350,000

A series of potential measures to address the “land-based impacts of ferry traffic” will be reviewed when Bowen council resumes in October. “Residents and visitors deserve a safe, functional Snug Cove, and ferry operations should not impose hazards or leave local taxpayers paying the price,” added Leonard. The wide-ranging list of impacts outlined included public safety, costs to the municipality (BIM), and lack of support from BC Ferries - both financially and operationally. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
