Hunt Golf Balls

So, creek balls belong to everybody that finds them. Or at least it’s a transaction that is so small and that is not worth an argument. However, it’s a point of matter. If retrieving balls is a boon for the environment:

I can’t see them fertilizing anything so it’s probably good to pick them out of the water and keep them and replay them and keep the production down and the recycle it up.

Unless the ball is still playable…

Advise on balls

In British Columbia, the legal protocol for recovering golf balls centers on property rights and trespassing laws. Legally, a golf ball remains the personal property of the golfer who purchased it, even if it is lost in a water hazard or thick brush. When a golfer abandons the search, the property right generally transfers to the golf course owner rather than the public. Entering a course to “hawk” or hunt for balls without explicit permission from the club professional or owner is considered trespassing on private land. Engaging in unauthorized retrieval can lead to legal consequences, including fines or removal from the premises, as courses often have exclusive contracts with commercial recovery divers or use the balls for their own driving ranges.When golf balls land in creeks or streams that run through or exit a course, environmental protocols become the primary concern. Under BC’s **Water Sustainability Act** and the federal **Fisheries Act**, these waterways are often protected habitats, particularly in regions like the Nicola Valley where salmon and trout spawning are critical. Disturbing the substrate of a creek bed to rake or dig for balls can be classified as an “unauthorized change in and about a stream,” which carries heavy environmental penalties. Furthermore, modern stewardship programs in BC emphasize leaving lost balls in sensitive aquatic zones to avoid damaging banks or introducing silt into the water. If you are looking to recover balls from a creek, it is essential to ensure the area is not private property and that your activity does not disrupt the local ecosystem or violate provincial riparian protection regulations.

Happy Sunday Coming

Since you’re looking for a solid brunch option, a Savory Dutch Baby is a fantastic choice. It’s essentially a giant, puffed-up pancake baked in a cast-iron skillet. It looks impressive but requires very little active prep time, leaving you more room to enjoy your morning.Savory Herb and Parmesan Dutch BabyThis version leans into earthy flavors and works perfectly as a standalone meal or paired with a side of thick-cut bacon.

Prep time:

10 mins

| Cook time:

20 mins |

Serves: 2–4Ingredients| Category | Item | Quantity ||—|—|—|| The Batter | Large eggs (room temperature) | 3 || | Whole milk (room temperature) | ½ cup || | All-purpose flour | ½ cup || | Grated Parmesan cheese | ¼ cup || | Fresh herbs (chives, thyme, or parsley) | 1 tbsp, minced || | Salt and Black pepper | To taste || The Pan | Unsalted butter | 3 tbsp |Instructions * Preheat the Oven: Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside the oven and preheat to 220°C (425°F). Getting the pan bone-searing hot is the secret to the “lift.” * Whisk the Batter: In a blender or a medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and pepper. Process or whisk until completely smooth with no lumps. Stir in the minced herbs and half of the Parmesan by hand.

* Melt the Butter:

Once the oven is ready, carefully remove the hot skillet. Drop the butter in and swirl it until it’s melted and foamy (be careful not to let it burn). * Pour and Bake: Quickly pour the batter into the center of the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top. * The Rise: Slide the skillet back into the oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the edges are high, puffed, and a deep golden brown. Do not open the oven door during the first 15 minutes, or it might deflate!

* Serve:

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. It will start to settle as it cools, which creates a perfect “bowl” for toppings.Variation IdeasIf you want to branch out from the savory side, you can easily pivot this into a Sweet Classic: * Omit the herbs, pepper, and cheese. * Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.

* Top with fresh lemon juice and a heavy dusting of powdered sugar once it comes out of the oven.

Would you like me to find some local spots in the Nicola Valley that serve a great traditional brunch if you’d rather head out?

Action

At the Revelstoke Forum

Former Merritt Mayor Neil Menard at a Telus presentation in Merritt. Neil Menard was a great supporter of the merit centennials before the change from League. He did a lot for the team as far as gatherings at Voght park. Including using the team as support for community fundraising in Marathon running.

Neil Menard has passed on some time ago, but we still think of him when this entennials whistles go from the arena and the sirens sound when they score from the arena even if we’re not at the arena. Rest in peace, Neil Menard.

Get one for Neil and here Centennials…
