but a neighbour told the Mirror that Bukiewicz appeared to live alone. “He’s a super-nice guy…he’s a good neighbour and he loves kids,” said the neighbour who asked to not be identi-

fied. “He wasn’t into anything shady.” On Tuesday, around 8 a.m., Campbell River RCMP received a 911 call from Bukiewicz’s two-storey home located at 874 S. Alder St. Several officers arrived at the

scene and found Surrett dead. The cause of death has not been released. Bukiewicz was arrested at the scene without incident, taken to the RCMP detachment and charged with second degree murder. Police are hoping the

Schools: 31 new positions needed Continued from Pg. 1

District 72, is concerned about the re-organization of schools, is necessary to accommodate the ruling. “We are extremely concerned over the potential impacts on students, the relationship for future successful bargaining, and the economic viability of our district to continue to deliver essential services,” Babchuk wrote. “The ruling would require approximately 31 new teaching positions and $3.1 million in the first year alone. Increased staffing levels and supports for our students would certainly be welcomed, but should they prove to be unfunded, we

simply could not provide an adequate level of service and/or the variety of programming required to support our district’s diverse needs.” Babchuk said the board is calling on the province to fund any and all costs that boards of education will face in having to implement the changes. The province has said it could cost the government as much as a billion dollars to satisfy the class size ruling, and is appealing Justice Susan Griffin’s decision. On Wednesday, the B.C. Court of Appeal granted the province’s request to delay the i mp l e m e nt at i on of

Campbell River teachers to take strike vote next week KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River teachers could be on strike again this spring. Local educators will join their provincial counterparts in a strike vote on Tuesday and Wednesday. Provincial results will be announced the evening of March 6. Elaine Thompson, president of the Campbell River District Teachers’ Association, said she wants to reassure parents that the strike vote does not necessarily mean classes will be cancelled. “Once a strike vote is taken, the BCTF (BC Teachers’ Federation) has 90 days to activate it with some sort of job action,” Thompson said. “That job action, if needed, will occur in stages, but any initial action will not include immediate school closures or disruption for students, nor ask teachers to stop participating in extracurricular activities, nor affect report cards or communication with parents.”

Thompson said the purpose of the strike vote is to put pressure on the bargaining table as the BCTF tries to negotiate a new contract with the B.C. government via the BC Public Schools Employers’ Association. Teachers have been without a contract since June 30, 2013 and have not made any headway in reaching a new deal. “We are making no progress after over a year and more than 40 bargaining sessions,” Thompson said. “We want a negotiated deal at the table. That is our goal. We will work very hard to get that negotiated settlement, hopefully without any action.” If action is taken, it will be the second time in two years. Teachers went on strike for three days in March 2012, which was the culmination of job action that began in September of that same school year. Teachers originally pulled their supervision duties during recess and lunch and refused to issue report cards;

job action escalated to a strike months later. Teachers were legislated back to work by the government’s Bill 22. The bill was controversial for teachers because it legislated for classroom sizes up to 30 students despite an earlier ruling by the BC Supreme Court that government’s stripping away of teachers’ bargaining rights for class size and composition was unconstitutional. Now, two years later, teachers are finding themselves in much the same situation. Thompson said the government continues to underpay teachers. “Even though most other public sector workers received 3.5 per cent to four per cent over the last two years, the government has a different agenda for teachers,” Thompson said. “Teachers have been offered 0.5 this year – not retroactive to June 30, 2013 – and zero for 2014/15. That means basically up to two more years of zeros, which follows two previous years of zero per cent.”

Thompson said teachers continue to lag behind other provinces when it comes to teachers’ salaries and it makes it increasingly more difficult to recruit the best educators. “There is no incentive whatsoever here for teachers,” Thompson said. “Teachers have taken zeros, and continue to fall behind teachers across Canada, even though we live in the province with the highest cost of living. It is already affecting our ability to retain teachers and attract new ones. Young graduate teachers are flocking to other provinces.” Thompson said B.C. is also $1,000 per student below the national average and has the worst student-educator ratio in Canada. She said the B.C. government has saved more than $3 billion in the last 12 years by stripping teachers’ contracts and Thompson would like to see those funds returned. “It is time to put some of that money back into public education.”

Downtown four-way stop is here to stay KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The four-way stop at the intersection of Shoppers Row and 10th Avenue will become a permanent fixture even though there is not enough traffic to warrant it. The four-way, created to help motorists navigate detours during construction on St. Ann’s

s ™

and Alder, has remained in place even though the detours are long gone. That’s because council had been considering whether to keep the four-way stop or revert it back to a two-way stop. Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager, said staff reviewed and conducted traffic counts at the intersection twice – once during the detour and

once in January after the roads were re-opened – and the amount of traffic does not warrant a four-way stop. “Volumes in 2014 are 30 per cent lower than volumes from 2008,” Hadfield said in a report to council. “Total entering volumes during the noon peak hour in 2008 were 1,196 and in 2014 are 835. The current direc-

tional split is 76 per cent traffic flowing along Shoppers Row, and 24 per cent traffic flowing along 10th or Tyee Plaza. This usually does not support a four-way stop.” Having said that, Hadfield said city staff do believe the positives of keeping the four-way stop outweigh the negatives. Hadfield noted that

traffic in the downtown core should be flowing slowly because of motorists trying to pull in and out of the parallel parking spots that line Shoppers Row and the amount of pedestrians crossing Shoppers. A four-way stop slows traffic and provides for a less intimidating crossing for those pedestrians, Hadfield said. “The installation of

the four-way stop at this location may create minor inconveniences to vehicles, however, it is to the greater benefit of the pedestrians in this central downtown location. The provision of a safer crossing situation for pedestrians is a benefit for the whole community.” While ICB C data shows this location has an average of one colli-

Our View Our View

Four-year terms a step backwards for local democracy The diminishing of local democracy continues, with an announcement Tuesday by the provincial government that municipal councils and boards of education will now be elected for four-year terms, instead of three. We say: Touted While many local governments favour the switch, there are a significant benefits are number of smaller communities little more than who do not, as has been expressed when Union of B.C. Municipalities provincil spin (UBCM) conventions address this topic. Nonetheless, the views of a task force set up by the province and UBCM have now prevailed. All that is

necessary is a change to legislation, set to take place in the next few months. Prior to 1987, local councils were elected for two-year terms, with half the council elected each year in most communities. This meant that councillors were constantly forced to be accountable for decisions they made on local issues. At that time, there were also much stricter requirements that municipal borrowing be approved by voters in a referendum, which acted as another constraint on municipal excesses. Since 1987, councils have been elected for three-year terms, with just one election every three years. This has led to controversial issues rarely causing much upheaval

and having little impact on the makeup of a council, due to the passage of time and voters’ short memories. It is interesting that voter turnout, which was cited as justification for the changes back in 1987, has continued to spiral downwards. Most people simply tune out local governments and don’t bother voting. All the platitudes about four-year elections helping boost turnout and allowing local governments to do better long-term planning are just spin. This move puts more power in the hands of councils and municipal administrators, and less in the hands of those who pay the bills. – Black Press

Letters

Why sort recyclables? Like many people I’m in favour and a supporter of recycling. I diligently separate metal, plastic, paper and cardboard, making sure that each goes into its correct recycling bin. So what I recently witnessed at the Sportsplex drop off on the corner of Parkway and Penfield in Willow Point came as an unpleasant surprise. A large BFI Canada waste management truck arrived shortly after I did. The truck driver started with the two plastics bins, at the North end of the row, lifting and dumping the loads into the truck’s common container. Then the driver moved onto the next cardboard bin and dumped it on top of the plastic, continuing to dump all the remaining bins, including the newspapers and metal, on top of each other. I asked the driver if he was taking everything to be dumped, because it was all mixed together. He said no, it was going to be sorted. So if everything is mixed together when BFI picks it up what’s the point of pre-sorting recyclables at home and separate bins for each category at the drop off sites? Why not have common bins for everything and save time and bother? There should also be a cost saving, as most bins are less then half full when picked up so less bins would be needed.

B.C. grizzly hunt isn’t going anywhere

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt. It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife management regions reopened after closures were enacted to preserve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year.

The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the partnership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and ForestEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching. The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting. Naturally, activists want the whole province shut down. Wildlife management is the respon-

sibility of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he maintains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C. Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry. Non-resident hunters are required to hire a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly.

Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunting licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013. Thomson credits the work of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becoming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said. Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other endangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters. The reopening of grizzly bear ter-

Managed forest land policy should be fair When Catalyst was fighting for survival of its Elk Falls Pulp mill in 2008/2009, it explained to the Campbell River’s city council that “the industrial tax burden in our community is not viable. A fair and equitable solution must be reached.” To many of the very same councillors of Campbell River’s municipality, TimberWest’s presentation on Jan. 29 must have seemed like déjà vu. The city council was not listening in 2008/09 but, of course, we were going to be a community for retirees and tourists. Now residents bear about 98 per cent of the city’s total tax burden. I am sure that fact will attract retirees in droves, while continued escalation in ferry costs and decline in services will attract tourists. Some councillors consider TimberWest a land development company

and in terms of Jubilee Heights and the airport industrial land, it is. Most of the remaining TimberWest acreage is private managed forest land. “Section 21 (1) A local government must not (a) adopt a bylaw under any enactment, or (b) issue a permit under Part 21 or 26 of the Local Government Act in respect of land that is private managed forest land that would have the effect of restricting, directly or indirectly, a forest management activity. (2) For certainty, this section applies if the bylaw or permit would have the effect described in subsection (1) even though the bylaw or permit does not directly apply to land referred to in that subsection.” TimberWest has some 7,500 acres (3,035 ha) within the boundaries of the municipality. As a comparison, Beaver Lodge Forest Lands

has some 1,028 acres or 415 hectares. Given in trust, the Beaver Lodge Land was supposed to be used for experimental work in reforestation and forest management. Is it? Still, TimberWest has a lot of managed forest land in the municipality. There is more privately managed forest in the city than any other municipality in B.C. Instead of looking to Cumberland or North Cowichan, where there is a 7,000 hectare community forest of private forest lands managed for the residents, Campbell River’s managed forest land policy, including taxes, ought to be precedent-setting. While it should not contravene the intent of Private Managed Forest Land Act, the policy needs to be fair, equitable and reasonable. William L. Wagner, PhD, RPF Campbell River

Fletcher: Bears face same fate from natural selection Continued from Pg. 8

ritories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population. Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including

relocation of animals. The ministry has also begun a five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic. Van c ou ve r m e d i a recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton

Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head. They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural

causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to impressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Dennis made a difference

10 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014

While recovering from a recent hip replacement, Dennis Krauss read the Campbell River Hospital Foundations’ Report to Our Community and learned about the Every Dollar Makes a Difference monthly donor contest, a partnership with Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet and The Travel Place in Campbell River. The contest was open to all existing monthly donors and new donors who signed up between Dec. 19, 2013 and Jan. 31, 2014. The prize was a two night get-a-way for two in a one bedroom suite at Black Rock Resort. Krauss entered the draw by becoming a new monthly donor and to his surprise and delight he was the winner. Originally from Victoria, Krauss moved to Campbell River ten years

Buddy Holly’s music lives on A young Johnny Vallis imitated his teacher one day and was sent to the principal’s office. “Why are you here,” asked the principal? Va l l i s s h o w e d him. The principal said, “That’s really good.” Vallis, the man of many voices, has been imitating people ever since. Vallis made a name for himself with a particular voice. Buddy Holly was “the single most influential creative force in early Rock n’ Roll.” Tragically, on February 3, 1959 he left us, but his music will never fade away. In his tribute to the rock icon, Vallis perfectly portrays both the look and the sound as he rolls out Buddy’s greatest hits; “That’ll Be The Day”, “Words of Love”, “Not Fade Away”, Oh Boy”, “Peggy Sue”, “Maybe Baby”, “Rave On!”, “Heartbeat” and more. With the addition of an upright bass, drums and a second guitar Vallis creates the authentic experience, just like Holly and the boys, playing the vintage instruments with all the spirit of Rock and Roll.

Bose could also make out Leroy Charlie who was holding Scow in his arms. She was still alive, but barely breathing. “There was blood on his hands…he was dazed and crying,” Const. Bose testified in B.C. Supreme Court in Campbell River.

The officer knew Scow because she had previous encounters with the law due to her drinking. Toxicology reports would later show Scow had a high-level of alcohol in her blood at time of death. But Const. Bose didn’t know that. She was unconscious and the officer knew she needed immediate help as ambulance sirens wailed in the distance. He knelt beside her, cupped her head and

PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

In the darkness of an abandoned house on the Tsulquate Reserve, friends of Cindy Scow cradled the mother of seven in their arms as she lay dying on the floor. The 28-year-old had suffered blunt force trauma to the head and didn’t have long to live. Const. Brian Bose was the first member of the Port Hardy RCMP to

arrive and recalls seeing a group of people gathered in front of reserve home #155. It was shortly after 11 p.m. on Sept. 9, 2012, and something was terribly wrong. On Wednesday, in the second-degree murder case against 20-year-old Dakota Johnny, Const. Bose testified he followed Lloyd Walkus into the house which did not have power. Using his flashlight, the officer entered the recre-

could feel the blood soaking the back of her hair through his gloved hand. Scow wore only a T-shirt and blood was smeared across her abdomen; her lips and face were also swollen. Const. Bose continued to support Scow’s head, fearing she may have a spinal injury, as paramedics arrived, stabilized her and transported her to Port Hardy Hospital where she later died. Afterwards, officers were told of a possible suspect and went to Johnny’s home where they were met by the 19-yearold’s father at the front door. Dakota Johnny was seated nearby on the stairs and Const. Bose could clearly see blood on his shirt. Others were also inside the home and the officer overheard someone tell Johnny to change because police were likely going to seize his clothing. That’s when Const. Bose

entered to apprehend Johnny who willingly left the residence. There was blood on his long-sleeved shirt, his jeans and also on the shoes which he put on to leave the house. Outside, he was arrested for aggravated assault, handcuffed and put into the back of the police truck. Const. Bose drove a short distance away and then stopped in the parking lot of the Seventh Day Adventist Church where he began to re-read the Charter rights to Johnny. “What do you think the years are going to be if you guys find out it was me? Probably like 28?” Johnny asked the officer. Const. Bose didn’t reply, but Johnny continued, “But if you get a confession, how long am I going to be in for? I’m guessing a good 25 to 40 years, right?” When Scow died in hospital, Johnny was formally charged with

second degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and has been free on bail. His trial, by judge along, began Monday in Campbell River and will continue next week. According to prosecutor David Fitzsimmons. The Crown alleges that Johnny and Scow had a sexual encounter and were seen earlier in the evening sleeping together outside the abandoned home. Testifying for the Crown are police, forensic investigators, a blood splatter expert from Edmonton, and 10 others from the Tsulquate Reserve who were expected to testify that Johnny told them that he had assaulted Scow. Johnny is represented by Doug Marion and Sarah Runyon. Marion told Justice Miriam Maisonville he’s not sure if Johnny will take the stand. The defence case is expected to begin midweek after the Crown’s case wraps up.

And she appreciates the support. “I would also like to say thank you for all the amazing and supportive people out there – some of whom I have never met in person,” she says. “It’s very humbling to have so many great people out there supporting and sharing in my dreams and goals. You guys drive me and inspire me to push farther and harder. “Some of the girls have thousands of followers on Facebook and for me to be in third just goes to show the support you have given me.” Why should you vote for Janveaux to represent Cardillo Weightbelts? “Fitness is my life, it encompasses who I am. I have poured my heart

and soul into it. “I have committed everything that I am to this journey. “I have overcome so much in my life to get to where I am today. I hope to empower others.

She takes numbers and clears bodies.

Emsley-Leik is one of a growing number of local women who have taken up the thrilling sport of roller derby.

At the rink, Emsley-Leik becomes Foxie McMuff and her job as a blocker is to block the opposing team’s jammer from passing Emsley-Leik’s fellow blockers and scoring points. If the jammer gets around twice, she racks up one point for each skater she passes on the second lap. Emsley-Leik is one of seven from Campbell River who skate for the Rink Minx, a team based out of the Comox Valley. The other members are: Lindsey Ryzak, who’s known around the rink as Lita Riot, Peggy Benoit (Ballsy Benoit), Lisa Jackson (Whiskey Jack), Chantelle McPherson (Chantos Sanchez), Kari Barker (Swifty), and Taisa Brown (Lumber Smack). Though so many members of Rink Minx call Campbell River home, the team has had a difficult time bringing the sport to the River City.

gear which includes a helmet, mouth and wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads, and roller skates.

Emsley-Leik said she hopes the bout, which will attract teams from all over Vancouver Island, will show the viability of having the sport in Campbell River.

While serious injuries are rare, Emsley-Leik says she does come home with some “wicked” bruises. “We call them trophy bruises,” she says smiling. “They’re these huge things sometimes. We’re actually kind of proud of them.”

But she enjoys it all the same. “I just love to skate,” says Emsley-Leik, a former figure skater, who first got into the sport while living in her hometown of Williams Lake. “I’ve always loved to skate. I like being a part of a team atmosphere. It also promotes fitness. We’re always trying to find a way to up the bar just one more notch.” Emsley-Leik and teammate Melicious Mooose (Melissa Curtis) have even started roll-

“What’s challenging is finding the space,” Emsley-Leik says. “A lot of facility staff assume our roller skates will ruin the floor, which is not the case. So we practice in Courtenay, which is unfortunate because half the team is from Campbell River.”

And roller derby is no doubt entertaining. It’s a full contact sport full of positional, or booty blocking, ride outs, and hip whips. For that reason, each skater must wear full

But it’s more than a sport. It has a culture all its own. It even comes with its own rough and cheeky nicknames.

“Every time we host a bout there’s an influx of skaters,” Emsley-Leik says. “They spend money on hotels, on restaurants, they go shopping, they go to bars. The more events we have, it only benefits the community in the long run. People want events to go to, they want to be entertained.”

Killer Whales take on province’s best 1033 Ironwood St. 250-287-7121

Last weekend the Campbell River Killer Whales were busy racing at two meets in different parts of the province. Locally, the younger swimmers shone at the

annual CRKW Eliminator, while the top swimmers in the club were competing in New Westminster at the Western Canadian National Championships.

At the CRKW Eliminator, fast riser Cole Reid continue to have a fantastic season and get his first AA qualifying time in the 1500 freestyle, taking off over a minute in

the last month alone to get there. He then went on to swim to a huge best time in the 400 Free just missing his second AA standard, allowing him to qualify for the AA

Provincial Championships that are coming up on Feb. 28 - March 2. Kira and Carson Dunn also stood out from the crowd, both having their best meet of the season. Kira qualified for the Vancouver Island Regionals for the first time taking off six seconds in her 50 Free, with Carson having a break-out swim in his 100 Fly just missing his AAA qualification standard. Sophia Simard also got her first Vancouver Island Regional cut in the 50 Free, as well as had a great meet overall, including three flipturns in her first ever 100 Back. One of the Killer Whale junior coaches, Sabrina Jordan, also had a great meet where she went best times for the first time this season and attributes it to her new found love of coaching the junior swimmers. While all this was going on back home, Jenna Beaudin, David Palmer, Conner Skuse, Mackenzie Padington and Head Coach Darryl Rudolf were competing against the top swimmers in the country at Western National Championships in New Westminster. Beaudin was much improved from last year at this meet getting a best time in her 200 Breaststroke moving up 10 spots in the rankings. Palmer and Skuse were

would end up swimming to a bronze medal performance in the 15 and under girls final, with a time that places her second in the country and eighth fastest ever in BC for 14 year old girls. It was definitely a very busy and exciting weekend for the Killer Whales which was all made possible by the countless hours of volunteering that the parents put in preparing and flawlessly running the CRKW Eliminator, as well as the support from the whole club for our swimmers that were swimming on the National stage.

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA

Cecil ‘Cougar’ Smith and his legendary tracking dog Dick BETH BOYCE, CURATOR MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

There are many legends and stories about Cecil ‘Cougar’ Smith, who was famous for his skill at hunting cougars. He was born in Darbyshire, England in 1878, and immigrated with his family to Black Creek when he was about nine years old. From a young age he showed an aptitude for tracking and at the tender age of 14, killed his first cougar. Over the years, he made a career of hunting, and guiding for other hunters, and eventually, drew a salary from the province working as their agent tracking cougars, while at the same time collecting bounties on the cougars. Cecil had many different dogs over the years to help him with tracking, and his favourite cougar dog was a small black collie/spaniel mix named ‘Dick’ who was owned by his brother Horace, a trapper. Cecil was only 18 when he first saw Dick, and apparently, it was ‘love at first sight.’ Cecil discovered from the very first that although not trained to be a cougar dog, Dick did all the right things. He simply was the perfect cougar dog; incredibly smart, fiercely loyal, and mostly obedient. Cecil wanted to buy him, but Horace wasn’t interested in selling him. There is one particularly entertaining story about Dick. Horace had gone to the wharf to board the steamship to Vancouver, and Dick, who had followed him there, tried to board

as well. Horace had to keep sending him back and asked a friend to keep an eye him. Dick stayed and watched the steamship until it was out of sight, then slipped away from Horace’s friend. When another steamship arrived at the dock, Dick snuck aboard, thinking Horace would be there. Dick didn’t find Horace; instead he ended up about 50 miles north of Black Creek at a logging camp. Once the dog realized he was in the wrong place, he tried to get back onto the ship, but was prevented by a watchful deckhand. In the meantime, a donkeyman logger, Billie Doty had been observing the dog’s antics, and eventually succeeded in coaxing Dick home with him. The dog lived with Billie for about six months, then one day, a friend of Cecil’s visiting the logging camp happened to see

him. He called Dick by name, and the dog responded immediately. Billie kindly brought Dick back on a steamship the following month and delivered him to Cecil. Cecil returned the favour by giving Billie one

of his young trained cougar dogs. He then determined that he would finally get Dick for his own. He told his brother about the story of Dick’s recovery, and said he wanted to buy him. Horace refused again. Cecil then said that Horace

could have his dog back once he paid him the $70 he owed him. This strategy worked; Horace never did retrieve his dog and the debt was considered paid. Man and dog were nearly inseparable until Dick died at the age of 13. It is said that as a pair they successfully hunted over 120 cougars. Many of Dick’s descendents also worked as cougar dogs over the years. Other intriguing animal stories and exclusive photos from the Museum at Campbell River’s collection are on display in the temporary gallery until March 30. A charming calendar produced by the Museum as an accompaniment to the exhibit is now on sale in the gift shop. (Above, left) Cecil ‘Cougar’ Smith with Dick and their prize.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride. Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers. Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

Victoria. “Put it right next to your phone book. It’s like a little bible.” In order to become an accredited business that gets listed in the Directory, a business must have been in operation for at least a year, have no unresolved complaints lodged against it, have established a positive presence in the mar-

ketplace and have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau, based on specific criteria. “Not just any business can become a BBB accredited business. Only businesses that meet our Code of Business Practices and Standards of Trust are eligible,” said Scott. “We hold our accredited businesses

accountable. “This Directory is your comprehensive guide to local companies you can trust.” Go to bbb.org/vancouver-island for more information and look for your copy of the Better Business Bureau serving Vancouver Island’s 2014 Directory in the Feb. 28 News.

COMMUNITY UPDATE FEB 28, 2014

CITY LAUNCHES INTERACTIVE TAX CALCULATOR FOR AREA D RESIDENTS Area D residents can now estimate changes to annual taxes, user fees and other costs if they decide to join the City of Campbell River.

• Land Technician Visit the “employment” section at www.campbellriver.ca

YOU ASKED: DOES THE CITY BUY LOCAL? A recent Thorn in a local newspaper gives us the opportunity to clarify the City’s purchasing policy.

Using 2013 rates, a new online tax calculator allows people to enter their property’s assessed value and fees they pay for solid waste services and septic ﬁeld maintenance - then estimates what they would pay in City property taxes and other fees in the event of a boundary extension.

As a member of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce, the City supports the Chamber’s Think Local campaign, which promotes awareness about what Campbell River businesses have to oﬀer.

The tax calculator can be found at www.campbellriver.ca under Planning, Building & Development.

The City supports local businesses whenever these oﬀer best overall value. Purchasing contract decisions are based on a number of criteria which include cost as well as quality, availability, supplier performance and references, response time and local servicing or parts.

Additional information about the proposed boundary extension that would oﬀer sewer service to properties in the northernmost section of Area D is also available on the website, including: . reports and studies . news about the proposal . the Urban Systems presentation to Council in January (PowerPoint) . the link to the webcast of the presentation . a map of the proposed sewer extension areas The page will also include electronic copies of newsletters that will be sent to properties in the northern part of Area D over the coming months, plus a growing list of frequently asked questions. Ask any questions about the proposal by phoning the City at 250-286-5700 or via email to info@campbellriver.ca.

Why doesn’t the City have a “local preference” for purchases? • Our non-discriminatory purchasing policy is consistent with trade agreements that apply to all municipal governments and all publiclyfunded school boards, academic, health and social service entities - These agreements include the Canada-wide Agreement on Internal Trade and the New West Partnership Trade Agreement between BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. • Through these agreements, municipalities are legally prohibited from applying local preference policies for goods or services valued at more than $75,000, and for construction valued at more than $200,000. Our policy is to follow the spirit of these trade agreements for acquisitions less than these thresholds. • A supplier’s geographic location is only considered in cases where two or more identical oﬀers or tenders are made. • Non-discriminatory purchasing policies are good for our local companies that do business in other communities. In 2013, in a number of cases where contracts were awarded to outof-town companies, the City had received no bids from Campbell River companies. Why does the City buy goods and services on the open market? • Open market purchasing ensures that items or services purchased are the best overall value for the City. This means spending less, which reduces the need for additional taxation. • An open market policy gives all potential suppliers equal opportunity to bid on goods or services - and all suppliers are made aware of the City’s needs as they arise • An open market policy is considered the highest standard of ﬁnancial stewardship for local government - by keeping costs down and ensuring accountability, transparency, and that City funds are spent responsibly. Information about local preference and applicable trade agreements is available at: • www.newwestpartnershiptrade.ca (see the Procurement Guidelines document) • Or Google Local Preference in Public Purchasing to read a comprehensive document by the Ontario Public Buyers Association Do you have questions about the City of Campbell River? Please, contact us!

INTRODUCING…LUKE The newest member of the City of Campbell River’s Land Use Services team is LUKE. As a Land Use Knowledge Expert, Luke will answer frequently asked questions through “ASK LUKE” cartoon strips, created by local artist Pete the Pen. Watch for Luke’s advice in the City Currents section of local newspapers. He’ll provide information on a range of important issues, including: home-based businesses, fences, sheds and much more. “ASK LUKE” will also appear online at www.campbellriver.ca under Planning, Building & Development.

Billion-dollar project offers plenty of job opportunities

BC Hydro and SNCLavalin have announced the business opportunity event dates of March 31 and April 1 for the upcoming subcontractor and jobs opportunities for the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project. There will be three separate business events over two days. The first day is for constructionrelated companies only, the morning of the second day will be open to targeted ancillary businesses, and the afternoon will be for qualified individual job seekers. All events require online registration and space will be limited. “This event is a continuation of a process that began a few years ago to profile local business capabilities and capacity, and the opportunity to get involved in this billion-dollar project,” says Colleen Evans, president of Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. “It all started with the major project business portal going online in fall 2011, the highly successful business speed dating event in summer 2012 and now this important interaction with the John Hart contractor. We hope businesses continue to get actively involved.” To reg ister, v isit cr.majorprojects.ca, look under “Latest News,” click on “JHGS - Business Opportunity,” and fill out an online registration form. Online registration closes March 26 at 4 p.m. or as soon as all available registration slots are filled. There is registration space for about 120 construction contractors and suppliers, about 112 spaces for ancillary businesses and up to 600 individual job seekers who will be provided process overviews on potential hiring. Reg ist rat ion slots will be filled on a firstcome basis. Confirmed qualified registrants will receive the business event details and overview, including the time of their meeting session with SNC-Lavalin. “This event is the logical next stage in the procurement process for the John Hart project,” says Vancouver Island Construction Association CEO Greg Baynton. “It provides an excellent opportunity for contractors and suppliers to have a face to face interview with SNC-Lavalin to discuss the opportunities and requirements associated with the project.

I would encourage all interested contractors and suppliers to register early.” Applicants filling out the online registration form will need to select the appropriate job theme that they are

qualified. “The third event on April 1 is an information event for job seekers to learn more from SNCLavalin representatives and their team members about the occupations that will be in demand

and when they will be needed,” says Doug Preston, executive director of the North Island Employment Foundation Society. “It will be about the when and how to connect with employers involved with the project

and will assist job seekers in targeting the right employment opportunity at the right time. Everyone wins when employers can connect with people who have the skills and experience they need. This will be

an information session and resumes will not be accepted at this event.” All three business events on March 31 and April 1 are open to all businesses and individuals located on or off Vancouver Island.

SNC-Lavalin’s team consists of the generator and turbine supplier, IMPSA; financers; and design builders that include AECON and Frontier-Kemper Construction ULC (tunnelling).
