Cats leg leadsto cougar killsSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

A cats leg found on a city street resulted in the tracking and killing of two cougars in Campbell River last week.

On Wednesday morning the cats leg was found on the side-walk in the 430 block of Goodwin Road between the Sportsplex and Southgate Secondary, just a few days following a cat being shot by a pellet gun in the same area.

Campbell River RCMP were called and took the cat leg to Campbell River Veterinary Hospi-tal. The veterinarian was unable to say exactly what caused the leg to be severed.

RCMP Corporal Poppy Hallam said later that night, at approxi-mately 9:30 p.m. they received a call from a resident on Goodwin Road that there had been two cougar sightings and someones cat had been killed.

Members attended and the Conservation Officer along with a cougar hound and his handler tracked, treed and dispatched the cougar in the area, she said. At this time, the indication is that

the severed cat leg is linked to this cougar.

On Thursday morning the other cougar returned to the same neighbourhood and a young female cougar was also destroyed.

Conservation Officer Steve Petrovic said the cougars were too comfortable hunting in resi-dential areas and were not reloca-tion candidates.

The incident of the cat being shot with the pellet gun is still under investigation and the RCMP is following up on leads received through Crime Stoppers.

Two cougars couldnt be relocated and had to be put down.

Six newoff-leashdog parks may bedevelopedNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

The tail really is wagging the dog in Campbell River.The city may be mov-ing from having one off-leash dog park to seven by 2015.

That was in a report to city council Tuesday night from Parks, Recreation and Cul-tural General Manager Ross Milnthorp.

Milnthorp is suggesting the city create three new off-leash parks this year, at Sequoia Park, the Museum Park and at McIvor Lake which is referred to locally as Doggie Point.

He also suggested three more be created in 2015 at Maryland Park, Franzen Park and Willow Point Park.

CITY EDUCATION

Students may beback in school

Campbell River students could be back to school next week after a tenta-tive agreement was reached Tuesday between striking teachers and the province.

Teachers launched full-scale job action two weeks before the summer break and students have missed more than two weeks of their new school year.

This affected the 943 school district employees and over 5,100 Campbell River public school students.

Campbell River Teachers Association President Dave Harper said the CRDTA and the BCTF remain steadfast in the need to support public education with adequate levels of ongoing funding to meet the needs of students and com-munity schools.

We have achieved this tenta-tive agreement despite gov-ernments ongoing attempts to manipulate our members and the public through a massive public relations campaign in an effort to divide teachers and their communities, he said.

Details of the agreement were not available at press time.

Liquor offences, animalsincrease RCMP case lesNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Liquor related offences caused an increase of 31.6 per cent in Campbell River RCMPs case files during the first half of 2014.

And animal calls was another category that increased over the previ-ous year.

Putting two and two together, that seems about right.

But no, the animal calls were actually of the four-legged variety, not those on all fours throwing up after consuming too much alcohol and then causing other problems.

The greatest pro-portion of these calls relates to sightings and encounters with wild-

life, typically bear and cougar, which depending upon the situation could have been reported to Conservation Officers but were rather directed to the RCMP, wrote Sgt. Jeff Preston of the Campbell River RCMP in his 2014 second quarter report to city council Tuesday night.

A significant portion of animal calls files also relate to domestic dogs off-leash (barking, biting, and threaten-ing) which appear most relevant to animal control or bylaws while several additional files relate to animal cruelty which could arguably best be investigated by the SPCA, he wrote. The remaining files

are mainly comprised of injured deer or dogs in distress dogs left in hot vehicles in parking lots files frequently handled by members.

According to the report liquor/intoxicat-ed files increased from 219 during the same per-iod the previous year to 291 in 2014.

And liquor/consume files almost tripled from 20 files in 2013 for the same period to 58 in 2014.

Preston said one of the reasons for that increase was the initiatives of individual officers who were meeting the problem head on dur-ing their regular work [email protected]

CRIME

Two Island men arrestedin major cocaine investigationGLACIER NEWS SERVICE

Two Vancouver Island men have been arrested and a large amount of cocaine has been seized after a boat rented from a Nootka Sound fishing lodge was used in a possible drug-smuggling operation.

The file is being handled by the RCMPs federal serious organized crime section but few details are being released about the sequence of events around the drug operation and subsequent arrests.

The Victoria Rescue Co-ordination Centre was contacted Thursday about

a boat that failed to return to the fishing lodge from which it had been rented.

Rescue crews responded but could not locate the boat at sea.

Later, a passerby who enquired about the search told emergency crews he had driven his vehicle past a boat fitting the same description on a trailer on a nearby logging road in Nootka Sound.

Gold River RCMP responded but RCMP federal drug investigators quickly became involved.

Two men were arrested, said Sgt. Laurie White, with the RCMPs federal policing section, although

she could not say where or when they were arrested.

White said she could not release the quantity of cocaine seized.

The men have not yet been charged so their names are not being released.

White said a multi-agency investigation is ongoing but would not say if U.S. officials are involved.

In a RCMP report to city council Tuesday night, it was stated that Campbell River RCMP were heavily involved in a major inves-tigation involving cocaine, but no further details were given.

Continued from page 1.There is currently one park

within the City of Campbell Riv-er that is designated in the Ani-mal Control Bylaw as an off-leash dog area, reported Milnthorp. Penfield Park is a well-utilized leash-free park that is having difficulty keeping up with the demand. The parks department has received numerous requests for additional off-leash areas. The public has requested more off-leash parks overall, parks located closer to their home, parks locat-ed throughout the city, parks with access to water, parks with off-leash trails to exercise their dog and parks with open spaces for socializing and field games.

Milnthorp said the parks, with the exception of Willow Point Park, would require minimal work.

He said most of the sites will only require a dog friendly water fountain, bag dispensers, garbage cans, fencing and/or gates, sign-age and minor trail repairs and/or the addition of ground cover.

He said Willow Point Park would be more expensive because it will also require exten-sive brush clearing and trail development.

He said annual costs for all of the parks would include addition-al garbage pick up, dog bags,minor annual trail repairs and ground cover replacement and the cost of additional site visits plus inspections from parks staff.

Milnthorp said the cost of cap-ital upgrades for 2014 to convert Sequoia Park, Museum Park and McIvor Lake into off-leash areas is included in the 2014 capital budget and the cost to maintain these parks would be approxi-mately $15,500 annually begin-

ning in 2015. He said the cost of capital

upgrades for 2015 to convert Wil-low Point Park, Maryland Park and Franzen Park into off-leash areas would be approximately $107,000 and that they would cost $21,000 a year to maintain begin-ning in 2015

He said over 2,050 residents purchase dog licenses annually in the city.

Milnthorp said the costs of the off-leash parks are far out-weighed by their benefits.

These proposed off-leash dog areas are expected to become some of the most popular areas within the city of Campbell River parks system, he said. Off-leash dog areas are multi-generational and will attract residents and visitors alike. The relatively low construction costs and low main-tenance costs will provide numer-ous recreation opportunities for the reasonably small investment. These types of sites provide out-door exercise for park users who may not otherwise participate in organized sports they will lead to increased physical activ-ity for both the dog and their [email protected]

Another break-in at Boatlandresults in three kickers stolenSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

There was another break and enter at Campbell Riv-er Boatland on Saturday when an unknown culprit cut the chain-link fence and three kicker outboard motors were stolen from the compound.

This is the second time in a week the business has been hit with the first attempt involving someone trying to drive through the facilitys steel roll down door. That time, no entry was gained.

Evidence was recovered at the scene and is being examined by the RCMP forensic identification section.

There was a break and enter to a

residence on the same day.On Sept. 13 RCMP responded to

a call from the 500 block of Birch Street when a homeowner returned home to find the door had been pried open. Nothing appears to have been stolen and no one was home at the time. Evidence was recovered at the scene.

On Sept. 14 at 2:34 p.m.,there was a report of a theft from a vehicle in the parking lot of 231 Birch Street. The callers boyfriend interrupted the male reaching into the opened window taking loose change. The male is described as Caucasian, 58, approximately 40 years old, light blonde hair, wearing a sweater wrapped around his waist and red and white skate shoes.

NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

One of Campbell Rivers earli-est schools, Campbellton Elementary, is going back to the future.

Aecon SNC-Lavalin Joint Ven-ture (ASL JV), the company in charge of BC Hydros $1 billion John Hart Generating Station relocation project, wants to use the site for construction offices, stor-age and utilities area for the next five to seven years.

The company and property owners E&D Properties, are ask-ing the city to grant a major re-development permit for the site which would include office trailers, parking, a carpentry and storage area using existing buildings and pick-up area for workers going to the actual construction site.

Because of the limited space available at the John Hart site, parking is a problem. So part of the plan is to have workers park at a parking lot which would be con-structed on the schools old playingfield and then get bused up to the construction site.

The school opened in 1953, was closed in 2005 and sold to E&D properties for $675k in 2011.

All of the proposed uses are allowed under the schools current zoning which is Commercial 4.

In suggesting city council approve the application, city staff said it is another economic driver for Campbell River.

While the proposed develop-ment is essentially temporary in nature, the expected five to seven year duration of the project is nonetheless significant and therefore the visual impact of the development on the surroundings throughout this time period has been carefully considered, said the report. The applicant has worked with staff to achieve a site design that meets the inten-tion of the Commercial Form and Character guidelines found within the Official Community Plan. The development will not likely to have any significant adverse impact on the neighbouring properties.

Dave Coles, former Communica-tions, Energy and Paperwork-ers Union National President and long-time environmentalist, is seeking the NDP nomination in the newly-created Vancouver North Island - Powell River riding.

Im proud to be putting my name forward to run to represent this part

of the Island, said Coles. Ottawa has long ignored coastal issues. Its time to take a stand and defend the interests of residents of North Island and Powell River. This area is in des-perate need of jobs an issue which decades of Conservative representa-tives have totally disregarded. I know together, we can do better and I intend to.

Coles has committed to signing up hundreds of new NDP members and made his announcement at Unifors Canadian Council meeting Sept. 13 in Vancouver.

The nomination election date has not yet been set, but is expected to take place in late November.

Coles is a life-long social justice advocate, trade union activist and environmentalist. He served as the National President of the Communi-cations, Energy and Paperworkers Union for more than seven years, holding a number of key leader-ship positions in the union and on the Alberta and BC Federations of Labour prior to his election as president.

Coles opposes the Northern Gate-way pipeline and other projects that he says put the interests of oil companies ahead of communities including First Nations. He is a founding member of the Council of Canadians, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Park-land Institute.

Born on Vancouver Island, he lives in Campbell River with his partner Karon Webber of more than 40 years.

The funds came through the donation of all the food and drinks provided for the Canada Day Pancake Breakfast.

Campbell River to host 2015 tourism eventCOURIER-ISLANDER

Tourism Campbell River & Region (TCRR) will host the Tourism Vancouver Island Annual Conference and General Meeting at Painters Lodge in September 2015.

The three day conference typically attracts over 150 dele-

This is the first time TCRR will host the tourism industry focussed conference, which provides tourism profession-

The conference will also show-case local businesses that will be given the opportunity to get involved with the planning

committee. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Ter-esa Davis at [email protected] or 250-830-1115.

Why do so few ruin it for the many?Why is it usually the few who ruin

it for the many?That is sadly once again the case

on the shores of our heritage river the Campbell and its tributary the Quinsam where anglers were treated to a record pink salmon run of over 1.5 million fish.

Anglers were allowed to retain four salmon per day and there were very few who did not achieve that on a regular basis, such was the bounty.

Where else in the world can child, adult, angler and new anglers enjoy such a fishery in such beautiful

surroundings just minutes from the downtown of a vital little city?

Where else can family bonds be re-inforced in the timeless trad-ition? Where else can families put healthy and nutritious fare not only on their table, but in their smok-ers, canners and freezers for future consumption?

Where else can a population share natures abundance with bears, eagles, minks, water fowl and aqua-tic animals in such splendorous settings?

Only here.Yet some take that gift and treat it

with such disrespect it is impossible to comprehend.

And all it takes to correct the travesty is the long-held rule of the outdoors person. Leave a place bet-ter than how you found it.

But no, there are those who came to the river banks and left behind their coffee cups, their used lines, their lure packages, their beer cans, their babys diapers and all other manner of litter and trash.

And now the fishery is but over and left behind is not our beautiful, pristine rivers. Left behind is the virtual back alley of a city. Like

a back alley, the river is seldom visited by many when the fishery is over and the garbage is left to embarrass us all.

Thanks to BC Parks and the Campbell River Environmental Committee, volunteers will be out in force this Saturday to right the wrong. Perhaps if you were one of the culprits, or if you are just some-one who cares, you could show up at the logging bridge on the Camp-bell River at 10 a.m. Saturday and help restore our sullied reputation.

Gloves, garbage bags, refreshment and redemption will be provided.

Previous question:

Should the city go back to the bargaining table with its union?

New question: Do you think Scotland will vote yes to sovereignty?

BC Ferries working on route congestion

I am writing to update your readers about the new sailing schedules that were imple-mented in April of this year.

After six weeks of community consultation by BC Ferries this past spring, the schedules ori-ginally proposed by the provin-cial government were refined on all of the affected routes to try to introduce the best timetables that still met the service reduc-tions outlined by the province.

Any change to ferry service takes some time to get used to, however on several routes, including the Campbell Riv-er Quadra Island Cortes Island routes, mid-day conges-tion issues have arisen. Over the summer we heard from the Ferry Advisory Committee (FAC) as well as hearing sug-gestions from other customers about some refinements we could make to the schedules and we are continuing to look at ways to address congestion concerns within the scheduled number of sailings.

FACs are comprised of local community representatives who volunteer their time to consult on operational issues relevant to their community. They act as liaisons, relaying information to the community and provid-ing BC Ferries with construct-ive advice and insights into the concerns and opinions of local ferry users.

We certainly understand the vital role we play in maintain-ing the quality of life for people

who live, work and travel in and around coastal British Colum-bia. We will continue to work with the FAC this fall to get a sense of community preference

about possible schedule tweaks that can be made to meet the needs of the majority of ferry users while still achieving the net savings set out by the prov-

incial government.

CLOSE SHAVE

RealStream Propertiesacquires Timberline VillageCOURIER-ISLANDER

RealStream Income Prop-erties LP has acquired Timberline Village, the 30,000 square foot shopping centre located at 801 Hilchey Rd. in Camp-bell River.

The property is anchored by Shop-pers Drug Mart and the TD Bank and is home to Campbell Rivers newest private liquor store Metro Liquor as well as Papa Murphys Pizza, Sub-way, Quinsam Medical Clinic and Fresh Dental.

This is a newly constructed plaza which was built in 2013.

Vancouver Island Portfolio Management firm, De Luca Veale Investment Counsel Inc., launched the new income producing real estate investment part of its busi-ness called RealStream Income Properties LP.

The company press release said it is the first of its kind to be offered and managed by a locally owned

Portfolio Management firm. They say their goal is to provide con-servative investors a professionally managed portfolio of income pro-ducing real estate.

RealStream says is will be pur-chasing larger, high quality income properties that are typically reserved for pension funds or publi-cally traded REITs. In purchasing larger properties, RealStream is looking to afford local investors the opportunity to invest directly in these types of properties with-out needing to form their own investment group to do so. The two partners, Campbell River born Richard De Luca and Jonathan Veale, invited accredited real estate appraiser and former Vancouver Island Deputy Assessor, James (Jim) Stewart, to leave BC Assess-ment and join them in operating RealStream. Since the arrival of Mr. Stewart in January, De Luca and Veale successfully completed the additional securities registra-

tion required to offer RealStream directly to investors.

I love what RealStream is doing. By pooling the funds of a number of investors, RealStream affords each investor the opportunity to leverage the management teams expertise and own larger, high quality Vancouver Island income-producing real estate, which is often unattainable to the individual buyer, said Colliers International Vice President and Managing Brok-er at Colliers Mid Island, Jason Winton. Through RealStream, an investor can rely on the knowledge and skills of seasoned financial and real estate professionals and diversify among a number of dif-ferent properties and asset classes. From what Ive seen during the due diligence process, investors can rest assured that these guys are details-oriented, taking every step to manage risk for their clients while keeping an eye on the future upside of a property.

In a letter dropped off to the Courier-Islander office, the Tax-payers said they have tried city hall, the health department, and the regional district to no avail in taking action to rid the neigh-bourhood of a house at 1711 Cheviot that residents say is an eyesore.

We have enjoyed rotten odours, rats and had bad remarks made about our neigh-bourhood, said the Taxpayers. The roof is caving in and some-one is going to be hurt or get sick or killed. We the people of Chev-iot and Petersen roads will burn it down on Oct. 31 so kids can at least have Halloween fireworks at the house at Cheviot and

Peterson. Thanks for nothing. Campbell River City Clerk

Peter Wipper, confirmed that calls to the city have not been ignored.

The owners were advised that the building needed to be demol-ished and they applied for and received a demolition permit, he said. I understand that delays have been caused by scheduling a company to remove asbestos. I happen to know that the owner had an excavator lined up, however it was called away and they are lining up a new date to demolish the building.

Asbestos is a tough, heat-resist-ant mineral that was added to the building materials of many older homes. It can pose health hazards to workers and home-owners who renovate or demol-ish those homes. It is still found today in many buildings, includ-ing homes, schools and hospitals.

This dilapidated house on Cheviot Road will be torched by neighbours if it is not demolished by Oct. 31, an anonymous letter says.

Local riversneed helpfor clean-upCOURIER-ISLANDER

BC Parks and the Campbell River Environmental Committee (CREC) needs your help to clean up the shoreline of the Quinsam and Campbell rivers.

Unfortunately with the popularity of the fishing on the rivers for pink salmon, some of the more unsavoury visitors to local wild places seem bent on leaving nature holding

the bag, the garbage bag that is.

Garbage bags, gloves, water and refresh-ments will be provided. It is an annual effort that the community always helps out with and the more hands theless work there is. It takes place Saturday, Sept. 20. Gather at the TimberWest (Comox) logging bridge on Hwy 28 across the Campbell River. Clean up will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Float plane pilothelps save manCOURIER-ISLANDER

A civilian float plane pilot, RCMP heli-copter and a 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron Cormorant heli-copter crew responded to a report of an overturned canoe on Pye Lake on Tuesday, Sept. 9, rescuing a man from the water.

At approximately 5:15 p.m., Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Vic-toria dispatched a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter from 19 Wing Comox to evacuate a male whose canoe had overturned on Pye Lake, which is approximately 50 kilo-metres north of Campbell

River.Joint Rescue Coordina-

tion Centre Victoria had been notified of the over-turned canoe by a passing aircraft.

An RCMP helicopter and a civilian float plane in the area also responded to the incident.

It was the pilot of the float plane who arrived first on scene and suc-ceeded in pulling the canoeist from the water. The canoeist, who had been wearing a Personal Flotation Device, was kept warm until 442 Squadron Search and Rescue Techni-cians arrived to assess his condition.

Search and Rescue Tech-

nicians were not able to hoist the man into the Cormorant helicopter due to his medical condition and instead stabilized the canoeist in the civil-ian plane while the pilot taxied the aircraft to shore.

Once on shore, the canoeist was transferred in stable condition to BC Ambulance. The present medical condition of the canoeist is unknown.

We want to thank the float plane pilot who took the initiative to land his plane and help a person in danger, said Warant Officer Stephane Roy from Search and Rescue Techni-cian, 442 Squadron.
