The B.C. government has bought itself some time in implementing smaller class sizes – a costly move

that concerns the Campbell River area school district.

School District 72’s board recently wrote a letter to the minister of education expressing its frustration with the state of B.C.’s public educa-

tion system.The frustration stems from a B.C.

Supreme Court ruling in Janu-ary that found for a second time that government legislation which imposes contract terms, violated

teachers’ rights to collective bar-gaining.

The ruling means smaller class sizes for B.C. school districts.

District 72, is concerned about the re-organization of schools, is necessary to accommodate the ruling.

“We are extremely con-cerned over the potential impacts on students, the relationship for future successful bargaining, and the economic viabil-ity of our district to con-tinue to deliver essen-tial 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 sup-ports for our students would certainly be wel-comed, but should they prove to be unfunded, we

simply could not provide an adequate level of ser-vice 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 govern-ment as much as a billion dollars to satisfy the class size ruling, and is appeal-ing Justice Susan Griffin’s decision.

On Wednesday, the B.C. Court of Appeal granted the province’s request to delay the i mpl e m e nt at i on of

smaller class sizes pend-ing its appeal of the supreme court’s Janu-ary ruling. The govern-ment is arguing that the ruling is unaffordable for taxpayers because thousands of new teach-ers will need to be hired as more classes will be required to satisfy the smaller class size limits.

Meanwhile, Elaine Thompson, president of the Campbell River Teachers’ Association, can’t believe the province continues to compromise teachers’ contract right.

“Just weeks after the BC Supreme Court rul-ing affirmed our rights and restored the lan-guage, the government

is trying to take them away again,” Thompson said. “The government’s actions at the bargaining table have shown disre-spect for the courts, for the law, for students, and for teachers.”

The government’s appeal of the ruling is not expected to be com-plete in time for new class size limits to be in place for the September 2014 school year, some-thing that BC Teachers’ Federation lawyers had argued for.

but a neighbour told the Mirror that Bukiewicz appeared to live alone.

“He’s a super-nice guy…he’s a good neigh-bour and he loves kids,” said the neighbour who asked to not be identi-

fied. “He wasn’t into any-thing 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 inci-dent, taken to the RCMP detachment and charged with second degree mur-der. Police are hoping the

public can provide some background into the murder or the relation-ship between Bukiewicz and Surret. Anyone with information should call RCMP at 250-286-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River teach-ers could be on strike again this spring.

L o c a l e d u c a t o r s will join their provin-cial counterparts in a strike vote on Tuesday and Wednesday. Pro-vincial results will be announced the evening of March 6.

Elaine Thompson, president of the Camp-bell River District Teach-ers’ 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 clo-sures or disruption for students, nor ask teach-ers to stop participating in extracurricular activi-ties, 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 nego-tiate 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 negoti-ated settlement, hope-fully 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 supervi-sion duties during recess and lunch and refused to issue report cards;

job action escalated to a strike months later.

Teachers were legis-lated back to work by the government’s Bill 22. The bill was controversial for teachers because it legis-lated for classroom sizes up to 30 students despite an earlier ruling by the BC Supreme Court that government’s stripping away of teachers’ bar-gaining 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 differ-ent agenda for teachers,” Thompson said. “Teach-ers have been offered 0.5 this year – not retroac-tive 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 teach-ers continue to lag behind other provinces when it comes to teach-ers’ salaries and it makes it increasingly more dif-ficult to recruit the best educators.

“There is no incen-tive whatsoever here for teachers,” Thomp-son 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 teach-ers and attract new ones. Young graduate teach-ers are flocking to other provinces.”

Thompson said B.C. is also $1,000 per student below the national aver-age and has the worst student-educator ratio in Canada.

She said the B.C. gov-ernment 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.”

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 war-rant it.

The four-way, created to help motorists navi-gate detours during con-struction on St. Ann’s

and Alder, has remained in place even though the detours are long gone.

That’s because coun-cil had been consider-ing 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 traf-fic 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 vol-umes 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 flow-ing along 10th or Tyee Plaza. This usually does not support a four-way stop.”

Having said that, Had-field said city staff do believe the positives of keeping the four-way stop outweigh the nega-tives.

Hadfield noted that

traffic in the downtown core should be flow-ing 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 cross-ing for those pedestri-ans, 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 cen-tral downtown location. The provision of a safer crossing situation for pedestrians is a benefit for the whole commu-nity.”

While ICBC data shows this location has an average of one colli-

sion per year, a relatively low number, consulta-tion with the Downtown Business Improvement Association confirms that there is a general consensus to install a permanent four-way stop at the intersection for improved access, Hadfield said.

Council made the decision at its Commit-tee of the Whole meet-ing on Tuesday.

Downtown four-way stop is here to stay

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.

While many local governments favour the switch, there are a significant number of smaller communities who do not, as has been expressed when Union of B.C. Municipalities (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.

B.C. grizzly hunt isn’t going anywhere

We say: Touted benefits are little more than provincil spin

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 success-ful in an average year.

The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the partnership with U.S.-directed environ-ment 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 ter-ritories on the remote B.C. coast. Com-bined 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 con-tinue to coexist in B.C.

Thomson has just introduced legisla-tion to permit hunting guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations compa-nies 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 come-back 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 remem-ber 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-

Like many people I’m in favour and a supporter of recy-cling. I diligently separate metal, plastic, paper and card-board, 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 dump-ing 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.

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. wild-life 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 sub-ject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic.

Vanc ouve r me 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 pho-tos showed its carcass stripped to the skel-eton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head.

They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of star-vation or other natural

causes, which increase when animals overpop-ulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to impres-sionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth.

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 equi-table solution must be reached.”

To many of the very same councillors of Campbell River’s munic-ipality, TimberWest’s presentation on Jan. 29 must have seemed like déjà vu. The city coun-cil was not listening in 2008/09 but, of course, we were going to be a community for retirees and tourists. Now resi-dents 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 con-sider 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 for-est land that would have the effect of restricting, directly or indirectly, a forest management activ-ity. (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 boundar-ies of the municipality. As a comparison, Bea-ver 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 municipal-ity. There is more pri-vately 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 com-munity forest of private forest lands managed for the residents, Campbell River’s managed forest land policy, including taxes, ought to be prec-edent-setting. While it should not contravene the intent of Private Managed Forest Land Act, the policy needs to be fair, equitable and rea-sonable.

Mounties arrest robbery suspect

Police have arrested a 27-year-old man suspected of robbing a private liquor store last Sunday.

According to Campbell River RCMP, a masked thief entered the liquor store in the Willow

Point Plaza around 5:50 p.m. He was brandishing a machete-like weapon and demanded money and cigarettes from the clerk.

The suspect fled on foot, but police were able to view the store’s video surveillance. On Wednesday, officers identified, located and arrested a 27-year-old man who

recently moved to Campbell River. They also searched his residence and found evidence believed to be related to the robbery.

The suspect is facing multiple charges and was expected to appear in provincial court on Thursday afternoon. His name was not released.

While recovering from a recent hip replacement, Dennis Krauss read the Campbell River Hospi-tal Foundations’ Report to Our Community and learned about the Every Dollar Makes a Differ-ence monthly donor con-test, 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 bed-room 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 Vic-toria, Krauss moved to Campbell River ten years

ago because Campbell River has “everything”.

“I have always believed in supporting charities,” says Dennis Krauss. “Fol-lowing my hip replace-ment, I was grateful for the wonderful care that I received at Camp-

bell River Hospital and decided to give back through monthly giving; it is easier to give more throughout the year than at one time.”

The Hospital Foun-dation hopes to inspire people to join its staff in

supporting health care for Campbell River and North Vancouver Island.

Whether in their golden years, planning for retirement or raising their family, the founda-tion asks all residents to imagine one single day in this beautiful place that we live without good health.

Donations support Campbell River Hospi-tal and Yucalta Lodge

through equipment pur-chase, staff education and capital projects and leave a legacy of health care excellence for future generations.

F o r i n f o r m a t i o n on how to become a monthly donor contact the foundation office by phone 250-850-2418, in person, (in the hospital basement), or online at www.crhospitalfounda-tion.ca

Popular Comox Val-ley singer, Jilli Martini, is recognized for her ability to perform a broad range of styles and genres, from sultry blues, to rock bal-lads and everything in between.

This weekend, Martini is the latest to perform at the Royal Coachman’s Sunday jazz sessions.

Martini’s versatility as a vocalist, and the natu-ral way she engages her audience has made her a local favourite.

She sets the room at ease with her relaxed style as she delivers each song with passion and conviction, captivating different musical tastes.

Martini often performs intimate acoustic gigs in various venues in and out of town. She is also the leader of the Jilli Martini Band, a high energy rock band guaranteed to fill the dance floor, primar-ily featuring favourite hits from the 70s and 80s, with some older and newer thrown in the mix.

On Sunday afternoon (March 2) at the Royal Coachman, Mart ini

will be accompanied by her long-time, accom-plished guitarist, Doug Biggs. She will also be accompanied by Blair Bentley on drums and percussion. For this performance, Martini’s eclectic selections are interpreted in acoustic

versions. Listeners can expect to hear a mixed bag of old country, rock ballads, blues and pop from many eras. From Dolly Parton’s Jolene to Guns and Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine – acoustic style,there will be some-thing for everyone.

A young Johnny Val-lis 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 par-ticular voice.

Buddy Holly was “the single most influential creative force in early Rock n’ Roll.”

Tragically, on Febru-ary 3, 1959 he left us, but his music will never fade away.

In his tribute to the rock icon, Vallis per-fectly 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 vin-tage instruments with all the spirit of Rock and Roll.

Vicki Pettigrew, exec-utive sssistant of The Commissionaires says, “Johnny has displayed

over and over again a high level of entertain-ment value . . . proven, capable entertainer and a true gentleman,” Pet-tigrew says.

“I highly recommend Johnny Vallis to any group. He is everything

you would imagine,

you will not be disap-pointed.”

Anne Van Kirk, executive assistant to the president of the Butler Brothers Sup-plies Ltd adds, “Some of our guests had seen Johnny perform before and were looking for-ward to the show,” Van Kirk says.

“Those who hadn’t were surprised by his versatility and profes-sionalism. Many guests came to us afterwards to say how much they had enjoyed the per-formance. I will invite Johnny Vallis to enter-tain at other functions given by our company.”

Vallis brings his Buddy Holly tribute show to the Tidemark Theatre on Thursday, April 17.

Tickets are $34.50 (plus taxes and fees) and are available at the Tidemark Theatre box office by calling 250-287-7465 or online at www.tidemarktheatre.com

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and the doors open at 7 p.m.

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 terri-bly wrong.

On Wednesday, in the second-degree murder case against 20-year-old Dakota Johnny, Const. Bose testified he fol-lowed Lloyd Walkus into the house which did not have power. Using his flashlight, the offi-cer entered the recre-

ation room where a few people were huddled near the wall. There was blood splattered on the white walls and a piece of wooden doweling that was also bloodied. Const. 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 previ-ous encounters with the law due to her drink-ing. Toxicology reports would later show Scow had a high-level of alco-hol 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 ambu-lance sirens wailed in the distance.

He knelt beside her, cupped her head and

could feel the blood soak-ing 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 para-medics 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 John-ny’s home where they were met by the 19-year-old’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 aggra-vated assault, handcuffed and put into the back of the police truck.

Const. Bose drove a short distance away and then stopped in the park-ing 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 con-tinued, “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 Camp-bell River and will con-tinue next week. Accord-ing to prosecutor David Fitzsimmons. The Crown al leges 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 inves-tigators, 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 repre-sented by Doug Marion and Sarah Runyon. Mar-ion told Justice Miriam Maisonville he’s not sure if Johnny will take the stand. The defence case is expected to begin mid-week after the Crown’s case wraps up.

A Campbell River woman is in the running

to become the face of a weightlifting equipment company.

But she needs some help.

Don’t worry, she can take care of the heavy lifting, all you have to do is go online and vote for her.

“I am a local athlete and fitness enthusiast, who is currently in the running to become the North American spokesmodel for Cardi-llo Weightbelts, which is the largest and most known weightbelt com-pany in the world,” says Nicole Janveaux. “This is a huge opportunity for not only myself but it would also bring a lot to our small community. I am the only Canadian left and right now (the contest started with 64 women), I am in third place, but it’s very close

(140 votes) and only the top two will move on.”

Voting is done through social media (Facebook).

“I need all the local support I can get,” Jan-veaux says. “You vote by going to the Cardillo Weightbelts Facebook page. You can also find the link on mine (Nicole Janveaux Fitness).”

Click on the contest link “Cardillo Fab 4”; find her picture – Nicole Janveaux – then “like” and “share.” Each “like” and “share” is one vote each for a possible two votes per person. You can also tag your friends and ask them to do the same.

Janveaux has the qualifications for the job. She has been very involved in the fitness community and recently placed first in women’s bodybuilding for all of Western Canada.

She is a 35-year-old

mother of two who grew up in Tahsis before mov-ing to Campbell River.

Janveaux is currently training for an interna-tional events qualifier in Winnipeg this August.

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 sup-porting and sharing in my dreams and goals. You guys drive me and inspire me to push far-ther 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 repre-sent Cardillo Weight-belts?

“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. To show them that it is not what you have been through but the path you choose in life. To fight for what you want and believe in yourself. That you have the power to change your life. I chose this (accompany-ing) picture because it’s symbolic of who I am – determined, strong, hardworking.

“With me what you see is what you get. It would be a huge honor to represent the best weightbelt manufacturer in the world and con-tinue to hope to inspire others to chase their dreams no matter how big.”

The last day for this Round of the contest is March 5. Then there will be one more round to pick the top.

� oor you with Roller Derby

Campbell River’s Newest Magazine People, Community & Culture

Coming March 7th

12 WAVE MAGAZINE » SPRING 2014 SPRING 2014 » WAVE MAGAZINE 13

Ready to rollWith names like Foxie McMuff, Ballsy Benoit and Lumber Smack, Campbell River’s roller girls will � oor you with the rock ‘em sock ‘em style of Roller Derby

When Kim Emsley-Leik rollerskates around a rink, it’s no leisurely roll.

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.

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

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: Lind-sey Ryzak, who’s known around the rink as Lita Riot, Peggy Benoit (Ballsy Benoit), Lisa Jackson (Whiskey Jack), Chantelle McPherson (Chantos San-chez), Kari Barker (Swifty), and Taisa Brown (Lumber Smack).

Though so many members of Rink Minx call Campbell River home, the team has had a dif� cult time bringing the sport to the River City.

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

But having said that, Rink Minx will be hosting its � rst ever Campbell Riv-er bout at Strathcona Gardens on Saturday, July 5.

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

“Every time we host a bout there’s an in� ux 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 bene� ts the community in the long run. People want events to go to, they want to be entertained.”

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

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

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 � g-ure skater, who � rst 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 � tness. We’re always trying to � nd a way to up the bar just one more notch.”

Emsley-Leik and teammate Melicious Mooose (Melissa Curtis) have even started roll-

er skating from Courtenay to Campbell River on Sunday mornings after bouts, leaving Courtenay at 4 a.m. and winding up with breakfast at the Dolphins Resort.

Bouts are typically held Saturday nights at the Comox Valley Sports Centre be-tween May and July. But Emsley-Leik says the team is trying hard to bring some of the games to Campbell River. “I think the Campbell River girls de� nitely

have a certain amount of pride in trying to bring the sport to Campbell River be-cause we live here, it’s our hometown,” Emsley-Leik says.

For more information on Rink Minx or to sign up for the team look for Rink Minx Roller Girls on Facebook.

“We’re always accepting fresh meat!” Emsley-Leik says.

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 Elimi-nator, while the top swimmers in the club were competing in New Westminster at the West-ern Canadian National Championships.

At the CRKW Elimina-tor, fast riser Cole Reid continue to have a fan-tastic season and get his first AA qualifying time in the 1500 freestyle, tak-ing 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 Champion-ships that are coming up on Feb. 28 - March 2.

Kira and Carson Dunn also stood out from the crowd, both hav-ing their best meet of the season. Kira quali-fied 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 stan-dard. 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 swim-mers in the country at Western National Cham-pionships in New West-minster. 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

also strong in the 200 Breaststroke, with Skuse breaking Alec Page’s club record by six seconds. Palmer swam his way into a B final and a sec-ond swim.

Skuse finished the meet with a best time in the 200 IM and 1500 Free, placing him top 10 in the country in both for 14-year-old boys.

The swim of the meet was definitely Padington with a huge swim in her 400 Free on the third night of racing. After a strong start to the meet, she was very excited for one of her premier events, the 400 FR. She

would end up swimming to a bronze medal per-formance in the 15 and under girls final, with a time that places her sec-ond in the country and eighth fastest ever in BC for 14 year old girls.

It was definitely a very busy and exciting week-end for the Killer Whales which was all made pos-sible 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.

BETH BOYCE, CURATORMUSEUM 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 immi-grated with his family to Black Creek when he was about nine years old. From a young age he showed an aptitude for track-ing 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 track-ing 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 obe-dient. 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 Van-couver, and Dick, who had fol-lowed 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 coax-ing 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 imme-diately.

Billie kindly brought Dick back on a steamship the fol-lowing 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 recov-ery, 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 consid-ered 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 pro-duced by the Museum as an accompaniment to the exhibit is now on sale in the gift shop.

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucksIf 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 “Chevy diehard” owner, and getting him or her to move to a new truck would be almost impossible. It wasn’t until the last Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that Toyota was a real con-tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 model are designed, en-gineered 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.

LooksAs 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, fram-ing 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.

InsideJust 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

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.

DrivePowering 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 im-proved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride.

VerdictThe 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 domes-tic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic.

The Better Business Bureau serving Vancou-ver Island’s 2014 Direc-tory is being greeted with enthusiasm by depend-able business owners and discerning residents.

Published by Black Press, the BBB presents a comprehensive list of

accredited businesses on Vancouver Island annu-ally.

More than 135,000 of the 36-page Directories are being distributed from Victoria to Port Alberni this week.

“These are the busi-nesses you want to do business with,” said pres-ident and CEO Rosalind Scott, who is based in

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 Direc-tory, a business must have been in operation for at least a year, have no unresolved com-plaints lodged against it, have established a posi-tive presence in the mar-

ketplace and have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau, based on specific criteria.

“Not just any busi-ness can become a BBB accredited business. Only businesses that meet our Code of Busi-ness Practices and Stan-dards of Trust are eligi-ble,” said Scott. “We hold our accredited businesses

accountable. “This Directory is your

comprehensive guide to local companies you can trust.”

Go to bbb.org/van-couver-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.

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

Additi onal informati on about the proposed boundary extension that would off er sewer service to properti es in the northernmost secti on of Area D is also available on the website, including: . reports and studies . news about the proposal. the Urban Systems presentati on to Council in January (PowerPoint). the link to the webcast of the presentati on . a map of the proposed sewer extension areas

The page will also include electronic copies of newslett ers that will be sent to properti es in the northern part of Area D over the coming months, plus a growing list of frequently asked questi ons.

Ask any questi ons about the proposal by phoning the City at 250-286-5700 or via email [email protected].

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.

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 off er.

The City supports local businesses whenever these off er 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 ti me and local servicing or parts.

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 publicly-funded school boards, academic, health and social service enti ti es

- 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, municipaliti es are legally prohibited

from applying local preference policies for goods or services valued at more than $75,000, and for constructi on valued at more than $200,000. Our policy is to follow the spirit of these trade agreements for acquisiti ons less than these thresholds.

• A supplier’s geographic locati on is only considered in cases where two or more identi cal off ers or tenders are made.

• Non-discriminatory purchasing policies are good for our local companies that do business in other communiti es.

In 2013, in a number of cases where contracts were awarded to out-of-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 additi onal taxati on.

• An open market policy gives all potenti al 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 fi nancial stewardship for local government - by keeping costs down and ensuring accountability, transparency, and that City funds are spent responsibly.

Informati on about local preference and applicable trade agreements isavailable 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 Associati on

OSTWALD, Sandra Jane

(nee Garnett)It is with deep sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Sandra (Baba) at 57 years of age, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014. She is predeceased by infant twin sisters Donna and Dianne,

father George Garnett and mother Kathleen Garnett.

Sandra will be lovingly remembered by her husband Werner Ostwald, daughter Nycky-jay Vanjecek (Vincent) and grandsons Oliver and baby boy due April 14, 2014, her affectionate dog.

She is survived by brothers Ron Garnett (Marilyn) and Bill Garnett (Ruth), nephews Matthew Garnett and Michael Garnett, sister-in-law Carola Ostwald, Uncle Bill Katarynych (Marlene), Aunt Mary Katarynych and Aunt Sophie Katarynych.

Her life was filled with her love of gardening, sailing and spending time with her little sunshine, Oliver. She carried on her mother's tradition of supplying everyone with Ukrainian specialties from "Baba's kitchen".

The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support and prayers. A Celebration of Life will be held later in the spring, date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to the Canadian Cancer Society or the SPCA.

BC Hydro and SNC-Lavalin have announced the business opportunity event dates of March 31 and April 1 for the upcoming subcontractor and jobs opportunities for the John Hart Gen-erating Station Replace-ment Project.

There will be three separate business events over two days. The first day is for construction-related companies only, the morning of the sec-ond day will be open to targeted ancillary busi-nesses, and the afternoon will be for qualified indi-vidual job seekers.

All events require online registration and space will be limited.

“This event is a contin-uation of a process that began a few years ago to profile local business capabilities and capac-ity, and the opportunity to get involved in this billion-dollar project,” says Colleen Evans, pres-ident of Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. “It all started with the major project business portal going online in fall 2011, the highly success-ful 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 is ter, v i s i t cr.majorprojects.ca, look under “Latest News,” click on “JHGS - Busi-ness Opportunity,” and fill out an online regis-tration form.

Online registration closes March 26 at 4 p.m. or as soon as all avail-able registration slots are filled.

There is registration space for about 120 construction contrac-tors and suppliers, about 112 spaces for ancillary businesses and up to 600 individual job seek-ers who will be provided process overviews on potential hiring.

Reg ist rat ion s lots will be filled on a first-come basis. Confirmed qualif ied registrants will receive the business event details and over-view, including the time of their meeting session with SNC-Lavalin.

“This event is the logi-cal next stage in the pro-curement process for the John Hart project,” says Vancouver Island Construction Associa-tion CEO Greg Baynton. “It provides an excellent opportunity for contrac-tors and suppliers to have a face to face interview with SNC-Lavalin to dis-cuss the opportunities and requirements asso-ciated with the project.

I would encourage all interested contractors and suppliers to register early.”

Applicants filling out the online registra-tion 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 SNC-Lavalin representatives and their team members about the occupations that will be in demand

and when they will be needed,” says Doug Preston, executive direc-tor 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 seek-ers in targeting the right employment opportu-nity 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 individu-als located on or off Van-couver Island.

SNC-Lavalin’s team consists of the genera-tor and turbine supplier, IMPSA; financers; and design builders that include AECON and Frontier-Kemper Con-struction ULC (tunnel-ling).
