LONG-TERM REDEVELOPMENT

Brentwood master plan draws crowd Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The Burnaby council chamber was packed for Tuesday night’s public hearing on the master concept plan for the Brentwood Town Centre site, with people gathering outside the doors to hear the proceedings. The proposed development is divided into four phases and would include 10 residential towers possibly ranging in height from 20 to 70 storeys, depending on their location, and two office towers ranging in height from 30 to 40 storeys. The design also includes a redeveloped commercial centre, a 50,000-square-foot food store, and a variety of public outdoor spaces. The plan divides the 11.5-hectare site at 4515 and 4567 Lougheed Hwy. into four quadrants for development, with the first phase including the two residential towers that could range in height from 45 to 70 storeys at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway. One by one, concerned residents and those supporting and interested in the planning process spoke to Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, city councillors and staff. Mark Tyson, who lives on Fairlawn Drive near the mall, spoke first, saying he did not oppose redeveloping the mall, but he was concerned about the possibility of the 70-storey towers included in the master plan. He was also worried about the increase of traffic in the busy neighbourhood, he said, as “ratracers” are already a problem around Willingdon Avenue. Donald Copan, who lives on Highlawn Drive, shared some of the same concerns as Tyson, adding that traffic at the intersection of Beta Avenue and Brentlawn Drive is especially unsafe. “If there’s an accident or death, it’ll be at Brentlawn and Beta,” he said. Eric Anderson, who has lived in the neighbourhood since 1953 and referred to himself as “a charter member of Brentwood,” said the neighbourhood could not accommodate that many Brentwood: Page 5

The magic of being a mermaid Marelle Reid staff reporter

If you find yourself swimming laps at a local pool this summer and see a mermaid glide past you in the water, don’t worry, you don’t need prescription goggles – she’s real. Most days, Annette Johnston and her friend Lori Pappajohn can be found at various pools around town wearing their hand-crafted mermaid tails. Johnston, a Burnaby physical therapist, and Pappajohn have been “mermaiding” for about a year, and can’t seem to get enough of the activity that blends light-hearted dress-up with seri-

ous athleticism. “It makes swimming fun; it makes exercising fun,” said Johnston. Sometimes the pair just wear their regular bathing suits and use a monofin, a single flipper for both feet. But most days they don one of their colourful mermaid tails that cover the fins, and enjoy the attention from both kids and adults who can’t help but approach them with questions and requests to have a go themselves. “They’re all fascinated,” said Johnston. “And that’s the fun part about wearing the tail.” It all started in 2010 when, already an avid swimmer, Pappajohn saw two

swimmers doing lengths at Canada Games Pool using monofins. She got talking with them and asked if she could try the fin, which she immediately appreciated for its ability to help propel her swiftly through the water. Experienced monofin swimmers can move at speeds of up to 11 km/hr, she said. It wasn’t long before she got a fin of her own, and was using it regularly. “I was so into monofining, and then one evening I came back from the pool and Googled “mermaid” and I was blown away by the stuff that came up.

was like, ‘OK, people are really into this. Like, seriously into it.’” If swimming like a mermaid was fun, Pappajohn realized looking like one would just be that much better. Through trial and error, she spent about two months creating the perfect mermaid tail out of a custom-designed monofin and colourful dance costume material. When she and Johnston planned a trip to Hawaii for a holiday last year, Pappajohn hired a professional photographer to get pictures of the two as mermaids in the sea. “It was amazing,” said Johnston. “You could hear the whales in the background. That was the funnest day of my life.” Johnston and Pappajohn get their custom-shaped monofins from Bronco Custom Works in New Westminster. Owner Renzo Carbonel does all kinds of custom plastic fabrication, from business signs to bullet-proof windows for a penitentiary, so the first request to craft a mermaid tail was not a huge surprise. “I see all kinds of weird things in this line of work; all different people with different ideas,” he said. Carbonel makes the fins from scratch, precision cutting polycarbonate material that holds up well in chlorinated water. The two women each have several coloured mermaid tails they keep in their cars, ready to be used whenever the aquatic urge strikes. Inwinter,theyareusuallyatCanada Games Pool in New Westminster, and in summer either at the outdoor pool at Robert Burnaby Park or Kitsilano in Vancouver. Both Johnston and Pappajohn are working on being able to hold their breath to be able to stay under water longer. Pappajohn is up to a minute, and, so far, Johnston is at about 30 seconds. Besides their personal swimming goals, the women agree it’s the joy their mermaiding brings to others that is the best part of their favourite pastime. Once while swimming lengths at the pool in Kitsilano, an older man stopped to stare at Pappajohn as she breached the surface, and she said to him, “Have you ever seen a mermaid before?” With a faraway look in his eyes he softly replied, “No … not in a long time.” Kids especially love to watch her in the water. “They come running,” she said. “I take them to the shallow end and I show them how to swim in the dolphin style.”

Nearly 800 members of the Burnaby-based Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, Local 378, are taking part in general strike action with two other unions on Sept. 5. About 4,600 COPE 378 members are employed by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, according to a press release from the three unions. The other unions taking part are the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union and the Professional Employees Association. The unions expect about 27,000 members, who work for the provincial government, to participate in the action at 1,785 worksites across B.C., the release stated. “We reluctantly take this action to send a message to the provincial government and ICBC that we’re interested in getting a fair collective agreement,” Jeff Gillies, vice-president of COPE 378, said in a phone interview Wednesday. “It’s the first time in 32 years that our members have walked off the job.” The COPE 378 members will be picketing at 21 work“We feel this is sites in B.C., he said. the only way to The union has been at the show them we’re bargaining table with ICBC for a year-and-a-half, he serious.” added, and has engaged in job action since June. JEFF GILLIES “Unfortunately, it’s made Vice-president, COPE 378 no to little difference at the bargaining table,” Gillies said. “We feel this is the only way to show them we’re serious.” The union’s main concerns are wages, improved benefits, employees’ workload and job security, Gillies said in a previous interview. In July, the B.C. Labour Relations Board found that ICBC had not been bargaining in good faith with COPE 378 members regarding pay, as the Crown corporation had kept the issue out of negotiations. However, since then, ICBC has not greatly increased what it is offering, Gillies said. “That money is not sufficient,” he said. “We don’t feel it’s fair or reasonable given the circumstances.” The union last met with the employer on Aug. 15, he added. “We had high hopes of reaching a collective agreement,” he said. “We’re hopeful we can get some dates in September and get back to the table.” Dates are set for next month, according to Adam Grossman, senior media advisor for ICBC. But he couldn’t comment on any of the details of the negotiations, he said. According to the list provided by the union, next week’s job action won’t take place at any of ICBC’s Burnaby locations, Grossman said.

MP sics the cops on graffiti tagger Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Burnaby RCMP have BurnabyDouglas MP Kennedy Stewart to thank for the Monday arrest of a graffiti artist. On Aug. 27, Stewart and his wife, Jeanette Ashe, spotted a man tagging the side of a building in

North Burnaby. The couple called the police and before long, the police had arrested a 27-year-old man. “I was only doing what I think any other citizen would do under those circumstances, and I’m glad it worked out that the police were able to apprehend this man,” Stewart said in an RCMP press release. “I think it’s important for people to get

involved and know when it’s appropriate to call the police. I would also like to say that I was very impressed with the quick police response and with the professionalism of the RCMP officers who attended.” Police are recommending a charge of mischief to property under $5,000 and two counts of breaching probation against the 27-year-old man.

Strike: Negotiations are at a stalemate continued from page 3

“The vast majority are Service B.C. Centres,” he said. “Where we come into play is we do driver licensing services at some of those locations.” Most of the centres aren’t in urban areas, he added. Anyone who plans to renew their licence should probably avoid any of the centres listed by the unions as being picketed on Wednesday, he suggested. “Some customers may be a bit inconvenienced by that, and we certainly apologize for that in advance,” Grossman said. COPE 378 members voted 87 per cent in favour of job action on April 24. ICBC made an essential ser-

vice application to the B.C. Labour Relations Board on April 19, suspending the union’s ability to take action. The board then handed down an interim order on June 13. The union can take job action with 48 hours’ notice, “if the job action does not dip below the essential service levels applied for by ICBC.” Employees will maintain essential service levels during Wednesday’s action, Gillies said. ICBC has asked that claims, insurance and driver licensing services be declared essential during any potential job action. The order is in place until the board issues a final order after the essential service hearings are finished. The union began job action in

June with an overtime ban. The ban will be lifted after the job action on Wednesday, according to Gillies, to deal with any extra work that may accumulate during the one-day strike. Union members also tried to take job action in July by attaching a signature to emails from their work accounts. The signature said, “We Work. You Drive. We Both Deserve Better.” But a court decision has since prohibited the union from sending out information via work accounts, according to Gillies. The union has also done some leafleting since then, he added. ICBC’s collective agreement expired in 2010. The two parties have been in negotiations since January 2011.

required to get a company to increase wages. But times are changing, and we question if workers will be able to avoid clawbacks. With a dwindling union membership in B.C., and more global opportunities for employers, union members are facing a very challenging time. Unions are much more reluctant to pull the trigger and go on strike nowadays. Barring public sector unions, any union that hits the bricks in today’s economy might risk seeing their workplace simply move to another country. Unions

are being forced to amalgamate with other unions to survive and, like other organizations, make cuts to services for their members. Charges of all-powerful unions pulling the strings on politicians ring a lot less true nowadays. It’s a lot harder to throw your weight around when you’re losing it. But it is still true that there is strength in numbers and power in unity. Unions still offer the only true voice for workers in an economy that seems hell bent on treating workers as disposable commodities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Burnaby-Seymour idea not new

Dear Editor:

Re: MPs take issue with commissioner’s comments, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 22. The fact of the matter is, the proposal to merge North Burnaby with part of the North Shore to create a new federal riding called Burnaby-Seymour is not very innovative. It’s been tried before. In the early 1960s, our electoral district was called Burnaby-Coquitlam, and our MP was a fellow by the name of Tommy Douglas, who won the seat in a 1962 byelection and was re-elected in 1963 and 1965. However, a redistribution in 1966 separated Burnaby residents from their neighbours to the

east, lumped them in with those living on the north side of the inlet and the renamed the riding … yep, Burnaby-Seymour. And Tommy Douglas lost the seat two years later in the 1968 general election. The northern boundary was returned to this side of the water eight years later, where it has remained since. It satisfied the generally held view that, other than a bridge spanning the Second Narrows, Burnaby and the North Shore really don’t have much in common. The bridge, in fact, isn’t there to facilitate relations between the two communities but, rather, serves only to (so to speak) pave the way for the Trans-Canada Highway. Commissioner Stewart Ladyman states that “the North Burnaby-North Vancouver issue has been on

the table for a number of commissions.” I hadn’t realized there was an “issue,” so I visited the commission’s website, and sure enough there is a reference in its 2002 report to “much angst” expressed by residents of both communities to the idea of a riding that bridged (sorry!) Burrard Inlet. Significantly, the commission of the day accepted the argument that there was an “incongruence in the interests and makeups of their respective cities, (and) that the proposed electoral districts would not serve the interests of the respective electorates.” Those words could have been written yesterday. So the commission shouldn’t be surprised if both communities once again voice opposition to what undoubtedly will be viewed as a slavish adherence to numbers at the expense of community identity.

Developers taking over city Dear Editor:

Re: More highrises for Metrotown, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 15 The highrises built in Metrotown in the 1990s were in the 20- to 30-storey range. At street level, there were pleasant lawns, shrubs and flower gardens. What we see now are buildings reaching 40 and proposed 50 to 70 floors The newer buildings at street level now have boxy clusters of town houses instead of landscaping. Developers say this configuration will make the properties more secure – and what the developers don’t say is that they will make them richer. Esthetics are being ignored and Burnaby is becoming more cluttered and a more stressful place to live. In my opinion, the concept of ecodensity has been oversold and is creating

a less livable Metrotown. Infrastructure, transit and recreation facilities are already at capacity. The developers are laughing all the way to the bank. Where is the Burnaby city council and where are the planners? Maybe they needed more public consultation. Is it too late? Maybe! Gerald Week, Burnaby

Environment second for NDP Dear Editor:

Re: Speak up for the environment, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 29. It has been heartening to see that not only Greens recognize the inconsistency of the B.C. NDP’s policies with respect to the environment. They oppose the building of the Northern Gateway pipeline. Building this pipeline is a slap in the face to the scores of First Nations that have territory along the route and have voiced their opposition to the project. The potential damage to the ecosystems in the area is far too great. On the other hand, the NDP is supportive of constructing a 463-kilometre pipeline that will transport natural gas from Summit Lake, 55 kilometres north of Prince George, to Kitimat where it will be liquified and shipped abroad. The process of “fracking” unconventional natural gas from shale requires millions of gallons of fresh water. The water is polluted with a cocktail of chemicals that include known carcinogens. The NDP is a labour party. Given the choice between protecting union jobs or protecting the environment, the NDP will side with the unions. That is where the money is. That is where their voting base is. It is highly likely the NDP will form the next government in British Columbia, but that is no guarantee that environmental protection will improve over the next five years. Rick McGowan, Burnaby Municipal Green Party

Guns: Safety lies in culture continued from page 6

hockey-masked killer has already carted away your head for his trophy case. The other scenario is based on the notion that young women should carry guns to ward off rapists: the “dark alley” scenario. Would a few rapists get a deserved gunshot wound if all women were armed? Yes. But the majority of rapes do not happen in dark alleys or deserted parking garages, contrary to the Hollywood myth.

Most rape victims know their rapist. Guns cannot stop child molestation or date rape. In addition, a gun can be taken away. Selfdefense training, better security and policing, and cellphones are harder to turn on victims. My feeling is that gun control laws are not the most important element of keeping society safe. It’s gun culture. If you see guns as potentially dangerous tools, like chain saws

and arc welders, you have a culture that uses them safely. If you have a culture of would-be vigilantes, no amount of guncontrol laws will convince people to use them safely. I liked my trip to the firing range, but I don’t need the hassle of being a responsible gun owner, and I really don’t need to indulge my cowboy fantasies by being a bad gun owner.

Teachers go back to the bargaining table in spring staff reporter

Teachers are heading back to the classroom with less than one year left to go on a contract that was imposed by the provincial government this summer. “After a long and difficult round of negotiations, we were compelled into this process under huge threat of fines and further punitive legislation,” said Susan Lambert, head of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. “We have been able to achieve some modest improvements, but above all, we succeeded in getting government to take its concession demands off the table.” In response to the ongoing labour dispute, the provincial government brought in Bill 22, which prohibits teachers from striking and imposed hefty fines if they do. Teachers withdrew from extracurricular activities

before summer break, and the provincial government imposed a twoyear contract, retroactive one year and set to expire in June 2013. According to Lambert, the provincial government moved over on key areas the teachers’ union was concerned about (seniority and teacher evaluations, for example), but there are no salary increases (which Lambert said translates to a pay cut when inflation is factored in), and class size and composition are still bones of contention. Teachers ratified the agreement in June, but their union will have to head back to the bargaining table in spring and start all over again with newly defined objectives. The provincial election is set for May 14, 2013, and the teachers’ agreement expires roughly a month-and-ahalf later on June 30, leading some to speculate the Liberals chose the date to ensure smooth sailing while British

Columbians head to the polls. “You’ve got to wonder why they would put that kind of date in there. Normally, the term of a collective agreement is also negotiated,” Lambert said. “This one is legislatively imposed.” Lambert said that unions were under attack, especially in the U.S., and that corporations are influencing government policy, while opposing things like minimum wage. According to Lambert, the Harper government has followed the American lead, and the provincial government has also “in much more mute ways, done the same. “It’s not in the public’s interest to try to attack unions. Unions protect people from abuses in the workplace. Unions are the ones that promote health and safety standards at work,” she said. “I think that the union movement is a positive force for change in society.”

WHAT DID THEY DO ON THEIR SUMMER HOLIDAYS? THIS CAMP WAS FULL OF FOOD FUN Summer may be coming to an end, but don’t tell that to the kids who attended a recent summer camp at the Burnaby Village Museum. The theme of the week was Fun With Food and the six-to-nineyear-olds certainly had fun as they played with, collected, made and ate food all week. Activities included recipe books, a farmhouse garden tour, making and knocking down a Mexican piñata, salt dough food art, seed mosaics, a nature walk that included berry collecting, dyeing with berries and onion skins, baking, scavenger hunts and to top it off, carousel rides at the museum. Photographer Jennifer Gauthier was there to get all of the action. For a more extensive photo gallery from the Fun With Food kids camp, go to www. burnabynow.com and check out the photo galleries section.

umbilical cord wrapped around her arm and cut off Isabella’s circulation. She’s subsequently grown up with her left arm amputated close to the elbow. It’s something that elicits stares or questions from other kids that can be tiresome at times. It’s also something that’s made her nervous to speak in front of strangers. “I think I didn’t have that much courage (before). I am still a little shy now, but before I was really shy because meeting new people that you don’t know might be a little different, it might be scary sometimes,” she says. In Brownies, having to stand in front of a group and do badge presentations has helped Isabella’s confidence. “When you get a new badge, you have to show it to the group, talk about it or maybe bring something,” she says. If you ask her how she now feels about meeting new people, she says she feels great. “If you stand up and talk to people, you won’t be so much shy,” she says. That blossoming confidence is what earned her the award – a special pin to wear with her uniform, and there’s a certificate that goes with it.

Afghan festival

Second annual fest for Afghan culture taking place this Sunday in Burnaby Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Caravan TV and the Afghan Association of B.C. are holding the second annual celebration of Afghan culture this Sunday at Burnaby’s Confederation Park. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and features a fashion show, food, live music and a national Afghan dance. More than 1,500 Afghans are expected to participate. One of the festival organizers, Abdul-Rahim Ahmad Parwani, said the event is to showcase Afghan culture and dispel myths about the country. “The main important thing is we are trying to show the real face of Afghanistan’s culture to Canadian society, to other communities,” he said. “It’s always war, terrorism and all those things. So we wanted to show Afghanistan is not all about war. This is a nation and culture that had a big part in global civilization and culture.” Caravan TV is a onehour show in Farsi, Pashto and English on Omni (Channel 8), and the Afghan Association of B.C. is based in Burnaby and promotes Afghan culture and Canadian values. Ahmad Parwani was at last year’s event, the first ever for Burnaby. “It was very good. About 2,000 people participated,” he said. Admission is free.

Old time Burnaby residents will remember the old nightclub near the corner of Gilley and Kingsway as The Zipper, Studebaker’s Cabaret, Coconuts or Onyx. But with the area changing and being revitalized, the building at 7012 Randolph St. will now be part of a community celebration on Sept. 4 and the unveiling of a community mural by local artist Todd Polich. The building is now occupied by Nova Health and Fitness. In the last two years, Dean Kotopski, a partner in the business, said he’s seen the area changing for the better. Kotopski is optimistic about the area’s future as he sees more and more people coming into his gym to work out who are feeling comfortable in the area. The good cheer will be in full evidence at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 4 when Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan and members of city council plan to attend a community party at Nova Health and Fitness.

A SALUTE TO LABOUR UNIONS

Why unions matter

Why do unions matter? The Canadian Labour Congress points out that the Canadian trade union movement is all about: improving the everyday lives of working people: better pay, better benefits, better pensions, longer vacations. Some highlights: Better pay: When it comes to wages of non-managerial employees, union members typically make over $5 per hour ($5.09) more than non-union workers. The difference is even greater for female employees, who generally earn almost $6 more than their non-unionized counterparts. Better pay equality: Through collective bargaining, unions typically make wages more equal among workers, and therefore ensure that fewer people are left with lowpaid jobs. As a result, only eight per cent of union members earn less than $10 an hour, as compared to a third of non-union employees. Better benefits: Benefits such as a pension plan, medical plan and dental plan have a big impact on quality of life. Unionized jobs provide better benefits, across the board, for both men and women. For example, in 1995: ◆ 79 per cent of working women represented by a union had a pension plan. ◆ Only 32 per cent of working women without a union had a pension plan. ◆ 78 per cent of working women with a union had a medical plan. ◆ Only 40 per cent of working women without a union had a medical plan. ◆ 72 per cent of working women with a union had a dental plan.

◆ Only 38 per cent of working women without a union had a dental plan. Longer vacations: When it comes to vacations and paid holidays (such as Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving), unionized workers come out ahead. More than seven out of 10 unionized workers had 11 or more days of paid holidays during the calendar year. Seven out of 10 unionized workers also had at least four weeks of paid vacation after eight to 10 years of service. Better pensions: A pension plan is a key component in a person’s ability to maintain a decent income after retirement. In 2000, senior Canadians with access to a pension had an average income twice as high as those without a pension – $28,000 versus $14,000. While 43 per cent of all Canadian employees have a pension plan at work, about 80 per cent of unionized workers have access to one, as opposed to only 27 per cent of non-union workers. Weekends: It wasn’t that long ago that working people couldn’t count on a weekend. Even the 40-hour work week is a relative newcomer to the workplace. Two generations ago, only five provinces had laws limiting the number of hours your boss could make you work. Unions made the difference. It took a sustained effort on two fronts: bargaining with employers and then putting pressure on governments. But working people carried the day, winning limits on work hours and the five-day work week. Source: Canadian Labour Congress, www. canadianlabour.ca

them share in the gains of their productivity and the value of their work. Recent agreements between workers and companies like Rio Tinto and Teck Resources have put more income in the pockets of workers, and boosted the fortunes of local communities. Tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy are too often invested in overseas companies or simply held as cash, creating no local economic activity. But when working people earn more, they tend to spend it in their own communities.Just ask business owners in Trail, where employees of Teck Resources, represented by the United Steelworkers, negotiated a $10,000 signing bonus earlier this year. Trail businesses in every sector, from auto sales to restaurants to retail, immediately reported a significant increase in

economic activity in their community. These agreements are setting a pattern for wage growth for all working people, whether in a union or not. This is good news for working and middle class families and it’s also good news for our economy. Liveable communities are anchored in a strong middle class and it was unions who were responsible for the development of the middle class. This Labour Day, as investment bankers and CEOs fight to hold on to a greater and greater share of the wealth working people generate, unions remain as relevant as they were 140 years ago when our predecessors fought to reduce the work week to fewer than 60 hours. We continue to fight for better work and better lives for all Canadians, and I am hopeful that we are turning a corner towards better times for us all.

The Union Advantage

among all local employees

There were 302,300 union members working in and around the Greater Vancouver region in 2011, over 29% of all employees. On average, they earned $4.93/hour more than non-union employees. That difference in pay put an extra $52.3 million every week into the local economy to support local businesses and community services. Workers in unions are an important part of the local community and economy because that’s where they spend their paycheques. Communities with more union members enjoy relatively higher incomes overall, and support a richer mix of businesses and services that diversify the local economy and add to the overall quality of life. They are better places to work and live.

Young workers need to know their rights and responsibilities

At the start of the school year, many secondary and post-secondary students will be transitioning into part-time jobs in addition to their time in school. These working experiences are valuable for young people as they will learn skills that will be used throughout their adult lives. However, it’s important that they and their parents are aware of their rights and responsibilities at work. For example: ◆ An employer cannot pay workers less than minimum wage, and an employee

who reports for work must be paid for at least two hours even if he or she works less than that amount of time. ◆ Tips or gratuities are not wages. Employees must be paid minimum wage (or, if over 19 years of age and serving alcohol, the liquor server wage) in addition to any tips or gratuities they receive. ◆ All employees must be paid at least twice a month, and a pay period cannot be longer than 16 days. ◆ Coffee breaks are given at the discretion of an employer. However, there are specific rules around meal breaks. For example,

employers must ensure employees do not work more than five hours without a meal break, and meal breaks must be at least half an hour long. ◆ If the employer asks an employee to attend training or meetings on an employee’s day off or outside regular hours worked, the employee may be eligible for overtime, minimum daily pay or other entitlements. ◆ An employer may require an employee to work overtime as long as the employer pays the applicable overtime wage rates, and the hours worked are not excessive or detrimental to the employee’s health or

safety. ◆ If an employer requires an employee to wear a uniform or special clothing, the employer must provide, clean and maintain it at no cost to the employee. ◆ While employers are required to give notice of termination after three months of employment, employees are not required to give notice of an intention to quit. If you have questions about employment standards, you can visit one of the nine branches throughout the province or call 1-800-663-3316 or go online: www. labour.gov.bc.ca/esb.

Happy Labour Day from the United Steelworkers On this Labour Day, celebrate the accomplishments of the labour movement and the contributions of working people to building our beautiful province. As was true in the past, it is still true today: joining a union is your best opportunity to build a better life for you and your family. Be proud of your work - and participate in your future!

Post-secondary cuts hurt B.C.’s future

By Cindy Oliver

President, Federation of Post Secondary Educators

The start of the fall semester should be a reminder to us all of just how important post-secondary education is to B.C.’s future. Much of the skills, knowledge and research that are critical to building a modern economy get their start at colleges, universities and institutes. Whether it’s a degree, diploma, certificate or completed apprenticeship, the jobs of tomorrow require a post-secondary credential. According to the BC Business Council more than 75 per cent of all new jobs will require some form of post-secondary edu-

When course offerings are reduced or wait-lists grow, that means it will take longer to complete a degree or diploma. Four-year degree programs typically take six years or more for the average student to complete. Add to that higher debts from rising tuition fees and the burden for today’s students is significant. B.C. can do better than that, but it takes investing more in post-secondary education to get us there.

Federation of Labour offers free ESL classes

In an effort to help immigrants in the British Columbia workforce, the B.C. Federation of Labour is offering a free ESL course this fall. The evening workshops are open to workers throughout the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby and New Westminster, who want to improve their

English speaking skills while learning about workplace health and safety. “This program is actually unique in Canada,” said Gord Lechner, Director for the Health and Safety Centre of the B.C. Federation of Labour. “We’re trying to overcome any barriers that people have to accessing health

and safety information.” Participants will have an opportunity to improve their language skills while learning about topics such as workplace violence, preventing back injuries, workplace chemicals (WHMIS) and identification of hazards. This is the sixth year the program has been offered in the

We’d like to thank our members, our partners in industry and those in government who understand the contributions we are making and are working with us to make B.C. a great place to work and be safe.

CUPE bucks trend – membership is growing

staff reporter

Since 1894, Labour Day has been celebrated in Canada as a national holiday recognizing the achievements of workers. The labour movement of the late nineteenth century had a great influence on changing federal legislation that affected workers across the country, and today, unions continue to organize for workers’ rights. Last year in this province alone, 4,600 people joined a union, according to the B.C. Federation of Labour website. The largest union in Canada and B.C. is the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which has about 85,000 workers in more than 170 local unions in this prov-

ince. CUPE B.C. represents workers in municipalities, education, libraries, universities, colleges, social services, health care, public utilities, transportation, emergency services and airlines. Unlike the private sector, where union numbers have decreased over the past few decades – mining and lumber being two examples – the public sector continues to grow as new employees are hired in these industries. In the last seven years, CUPE B.C. has grown by about 15,000 members, according to Mark Hancock, secretary treasurer for the union. “As the communities grow, we’re continuing to grow,” he said. “We continue to grow across Canada and across B.C.”

the deaths of three immigrant workers and another 14 with severe injuries. In an unrelated incident in 2008, three workers were killed and two were left with permanent brain damage after inhaling toxic fumes in a shed at a Langley mushroom farm. To help prevent such tragedies, the B.C. Federation of Labour initiated the ESL program to inform and empower immigrant and migrant workers. Upon completion, participants in the program this fall will receive a certificate and be invited to a graduation dinner.

All levels of English are welcome, but participants must either be working or intend to work in B.C. sometime in the near future. The course runs from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays for 14 weeks, starting Sept. 11, at 200-5118 Joyce Street (at the Joyce SkyTrain station). This program is coordinated and run by the Health & Safety Centre, a division of the B.C. Federation of Labour, with funding from the B.C. Workers’ Compensation Board (WorkSafe B.C.) For more info, or to register for the program, visit www.healthandsafetybc.ca/esl.

Besides representing members for arbitration and negotiating collective agreements, the union also works in communities to promote public services. The union’s latest campaign is called The Ten Percent Shift, which encourages people to spend at least 10 per cent of their money locally to support B.C. businesses. The idea is to strengthen the provincial economy, said Hancock. “Rather than spending our earnings as workers on goods made in other countries, (it’s about) looking locally first. And it’s been very well received.” People can sign up to take a pledge on the union’s website to spend more of their money on local products and learn more about supporting the local economy. CUPE B.C. president Barry O’Neill has been on tour throughout the province this year, stopping at various business and community organizations to give presentations about the campaign. Though it is difficult to buy all products locally, Hancock said CUPE B.C. wants to

encourage shopping for those products that are made or grown here. “Let’s support the B.C. farmers and the B.C. producers,” he said. “It’s not just about food, but that’s an easy example.” As well as The Ten Percent Shift, the union has organized other communitybased support campaigns over the years, such as The Strong Communities Campaign started in 2002, in response to program cuts by the provincial government. Another example is City Watch, a program designed to prevent and reduce crime by having civilians act as support for police, watching out for suspicious activity in various communities. To mark Labour Day this coming Monday, Sept. 3, CUPE B.C., along with the Steelworkers Union will sponsor a family picnic hosted by the Hospital Employee’s Union from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at John Hendry Park at Trout Lake in Vancouver. There will be hot dogs and face painting and games for kids, as well as entertainment by rock group Chilliwack.

◆ In 1872, the Government of Canada passed An Act respecting Trade Unions designed to ensure that trade unions were regarded as lawful institutions under Canadian law rather than organizations in “restraint of trade” that were illegal. ◆ In 1873, Canada’s first national central labour body, the Canadian Labour Union, held its first convention in Toronto. Forty-five delegates attended. Today the Canadian Labour Congress, Canada’s largest union central, has more than three million members.

All across our province there are hard working BCGEU members delivering the services that create strong and healthy communities.

Distracted driving: Leave the phone alone

B.C roads will soon see an influx of traffic as students head back to school. Just as schedules get busier in the fall, so will our roads. When we’re busy, it’s tempting to multi-task by talking, texting or emailing from your phone while in traffic or stopped at a red light. The reality is that distracted driving is the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. which is why this year’s campaign is focusing on educating drivers and helping them understand what is and isn’t allowed under the law. To help everyone get to where they’re going safely, ICBC wants to help dispel some of the most common misconceptions about distracted driving: “I can call or text when I’m stopped at a red light.” The law applies even when you’re stopped at a light or in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Studies show that drivers who are talking on a mobile phone lose about 50 per cent of what is going on around them, visually. When you’re stopped at an intersection or slowed in traffic, you’re still

driving. We can all do our part — set an example for your passengers and other drivers — keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

“It’s okay to use some of the other features on my phone while driving.” Under the law, drivers can’t use any hand-held electronics while driving — that includes checking voice mail, making music selections, programming a GPS or looking up phone numbers. In fact, you can’t even hold the device in your hand while operating a vehicle. Ask a passenger to operate the device for you so you can keep your focus on the road. If you’re alone, turn off your cellphone and put it in the trunk or back seat to avoid the temptation. For the full list of common misconceptions about distracted driving, visit icbc.com/road-safety. ICBC is also offering free downloadable ringtones at icbc.com/drivesmart. The ringtones are available in a variety of genres from country to reggae and help remind drivers not to respond to calls or texts while driving.

Is a title in Hyacks’ second decade? Tom Berridge

sports editor

A lot has been accomplished in the first 10 years of the reinvigorated New Westminster Hyacks high school football program. But there is still a lot more to come. The Hyacks have yet to taste their first AAA conference football title or to step out onto the turf at B.C. Place for a shot at a provincial championship title. That could all change in the next decade, said New Westminster head coach Farhan Lalji. “We should be a provincial contender,” said Lalji. “It’s my target. What I want is consistency.” What the Hyacks have achieved since 2003, when the varsity football program was restarted, has for the most part, been a history of positive growth. New West made the playoffs in its first season of AA and the following year, scored its first postseason victory in the wildcard round in a memorable win over Ballenas at Mercer Stadium. The team went AAA in 2005, earning a first-round playoff game against West Vancouver at B.C. Place. In 2007, the Hyacks converted to a Wing-T offence and fashioned arguably its best-ever season and playoff with post-season wins over W.J. Mouat and South Kamloops before giving eventual runaway provincial champion Holy Cross, its stiffest test in the Hyack program’s first appearance in an AAA semifinal. The following 2008 and ‘09 seasons were equally productive for the Hyacks. In ‘08 New West went 72 before meeting eventual champion Terry Fox in the final four. The next season, the Hyacks fashioned

Two of the best: Casey Chin, No. 54, and Jamie Wandell show the defensive tenacity that made the 2009 New Westminster Hyacks varsity football team one of the best in the high school program’s first decade. a best-ever 9-1 record but lost out in similar fashion to another Coquitlam school – Centennial. “My most special year as a coach was the playoff win over Ballenas,” said Lalji. “But the best teams were ‘09, ‘08, ‘05, and ‘07 was probably there.” Lalji sees a similarity with the 2007 team, a squad that spawned 13 of The Record’s all-decade team candidates, and his current crop of prospects. There were three years of kids on that team and a core group carried the

Hyacks through its most productive period to date. “The truth is, I feel a bit of that ‘07 team is in this team,” Lalji said. “We were good everywhere – deep and balanced.” Both this year’s varsity and junior varsity teams have “fantastic chemistry” added Lalji. “There were no expectations like the ‘07 team. I’m not kidding myself, the other teams are good, but this team has a chance to put us back where we belong.” With Tommy Robertson

in his second year as starting quarterback and Tristan Sands working hard in practice to be his go-to man down field, New West is putting together the necessary pieces. Aldrin Asuncion, coming off an injured 2011 season, headlines a deep backfield, while linemen Sonu Kainth and JV Harper Sherman will complement Jonathan He and Jordan Chin in the trenches. But after the last two varsity seasons, Lalji is cautiously optimistic about the season ahead.

“Getting a title is hard. As good as you are, there are three or four teams just as good,” Lalji said. “There is always going to be Vancouver College and Terry Fox, or a Mouat or Mt. Doug. You know when you get to the final four, there won’t be any easy games at that point. But this will be a good year for us.” New Westminster puts its current all-time 32-19 record at Mercer Stadium on the line against Abbotsford at the Hyacks home opener on Friday, Sept. 7.

Martial artist second at worlds Tom Berridge sports editor

Ali Fadaie of Burnaby made his last appearance at the World Martial Games count. The 34-year-old local financial planner and karate black belt won a silver medal in heavyweight continuous sparring at the World Organization of Martial Arts’ competition at Telford, England on Aug. 19. “I certainly wanted to get a medal,” said Fadaie, a North Burnaby resident. “There are a lot of changes in life. I’m not a professional fighter. I didn’t want to become 50 or 60 and regret not winning a medal. It’s a high-quality tournament. All you can do is give what you have, and I’m so glad I won a medal,” he said. Fighting in the men’s

18-to-34 age class, Fadaie defeated kickboxers from the United States and England before coming up runner-up against a younger New Zealand fighter in the over-90kilogram final. “If it was my first fight against him, I win I think. It was my last tournament. I didn’t want to come up with any excuses,” Fadaie added. Fadaie began taking karate lessons at the age of six in his native country of Iran. He immigrated to Canada in 2003 and won his first competitive martial arts medal two years later at the Western Canadian Challenge. In 2006, Fadaie won a silver medal at the Tiger Balm International and later earned gold at the Western Open martial arts championships. He also represented Canada at two World

Bowler qualifies for worlds Burnaby’s James MacGowan won the Canadian Pro Bowlers Association world indoor singles qualifier in Toronto earlier this month. The win qualifies MacGowan for the world indoor bowls championships in England in January. “It’s the one I’ve always wanted to qualify for,” said MacGowan. “It’s the biggest event you can get to and there’s a lot of incentive to do well.” That incentive includes a winner’s purse of more than £40,000 UK. MacGowan defeated his one-time teammate Kody Olthof in the indoor final. Olthof and MacGowan shared a silver medal in Hong Kong earlier this year. He also won all three of his preliminary matches, including a third-set tiebreaker on a last-end shot by Shirley Ko, the top Canadian women in the competition.

Martial Arts Games, earning a silver medal in Ireland in 2008. But, perhaps Fadaie’s biggest challenge was using his years of experience to medal in his final competitive event before becoming a master athlete. “It certainly was,” Fadaie said. “I just conserved my energy. … I just gave it whatever it took.” Fadaie works for the Investors Group. His martial arts website is www.warriorsclub.net.

Simon Fraser University freshman Mariya Chekanovych earned a couple of second-place finishes in women’s 100 and 200m breaststroke at the Junior Pan Pacific swim championships in Hawaii last week. Chekanovych was nipped at the wall by onehundredths of a second by Canada’s Kierra Smith in the 100m breast final. Hyack Swim Club’s Stefan Milosevic had an individual best eighthplace finish in the men’s 200-metre freestyle Milosevic made the final of the 200m in a time of 1:51.51. Andrew Digby of Australia won the free sprint in a 1:49.11 clocking. The 17-year-old Cariboo Hill student also had a number of top-20 finishes in other disciplines at the international meet. Milosevic finished 14th in preliminaries in the 200m butterfly. He also placed 18th and 19th, respectively, in the 100 and 400m free. Milosevic helped Canada’s Ateam to a bronze medal in the 4x200m free relay, swimming the opening leg. He also anchored Canada’s 4x100m relay team to a fourth-place finish. Canada’s men’s team finished fourth in the overall aggregate well behind the top three countries – the United States, Japan and Australia. tberridge@burnabynow. com

HUNTINGTON PIANO & stool with glass ball feet. Excellent cond. $550 obo. 604-431-6809

Cancer June 21-July 22: Errands, talk, emails, travel and curiosity fill this month. Ask questions, approach people, read. You’ll be very busy, especially the first half, but the stakes are not high, so be “relaxed busy.” You remain sweet, gracious until Thursday. All September, your romantic urges swell; so does your courage. The entire month also intensifies your creativity, especially in your career. (But go slow, cautiously in career zones and with authorities Sunday/Monday, and generally before Oct. 6.) Life’s sweet, you’re popular and flirtatious midweek – a wish comes true. Retreat late week. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase money for the next three weeks. You’ll receive many offers (flyers?) to purchase until mid-month. You can “profitably” spend on stationery, telephones, auto, etc. Until Thursday, solitude is sweet, even desirable. But Thursday to early October, your more public, gracious, radiant side emerges: you’ll draw others with your honeyed demeanour. But all September, friction is just waiting for an excuse to erupt on the home front, so keep that honey “in-house.” Legal, intellectual and travel matters hit barriers Sunday/ Monday. Your career hits great luck midweek. Hopes, joy, Friday on! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, charisma, clout and effectiveness hit a yearly peak this month – especially now to mid-September. See people (and be seen) ask favours, tackle things that previously intimidated you, and start important projects. (But not too many: limit yourself to four or less.) You remain popular in romantic ways, you attract glances until Thursday; after this, if you’re attached, draw your loved one into private joys. You will hear secrets all month – and will feel deep sexual urges, want impatiently to alter your lifestyle, and be fascinated with finances and investments – all good.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: You work and receive news of work (or discuss a new job/project) this week. Your home remains sweet – at least until Thursday, when a new romantic streak begins to slowly emerge. (But work will still fill most of your days.) You are coming close to wrapping up a long relationship struggle – the recently divorced, for example, will soon feel free of the gloomy regrets. Your sexual and financial sides are raring to go all month. As long as you aren’t too impulsive, go ahead. Watch for health problems, same period. Your energy, charisma rise Sunday/Monday. Money luck midweek. Taurus April 20-May 20: Rest, lie low Sunday/ Monday. Avoid commitments, promises. Your energy and charisma surge upward Tuesday to Thursday. You can attract romance, or winningly pursue it – and creative matters succeed, risky ventures too – you’re a winner! (All these, creativity, love, even relations with children, swell with activity and talk until mid-September. This entire month, relationships of all kinds intensify, which can eat up love – and enmity. For 18 months, don’t be “wilfully alone.”) Chase money – carefully – Friday/Saturday. Sign nothing, avoid purchase agreements. An easy, smooth week. Gemini May 21-June 20: Sink into home, recuperation, gardening, family, kids. This zone becomes very active and communicative to midmonth, and hard work seems to find you the entire month. (So that recuperation might be hard to find – but at least, grab a daily nap.) Your recent (mild) money luck lasts until Thursday. Until October, guard against cuts, bruises – be safe with machinery. Avoid over-heating, burns. Sounds dire – but in truth, your luck is strong and growing. Sunday/Monday are wishful, but your wishes haven’t come true for three years – they will start coming true, Oct. 5 onward.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Lie low, rest, avoid competitive situations. Until mid-month, you’ll hear secrets or do much planning for the future, or simply be surrounded with paperwork for the government, agencies, etc. Good stuff, but keep up with it. You will receive more money than usual until Oct. 5 – but you will also experience an almost subconscious urge to spend much more than usual. Bank it, or lose it. Bosses and parents favour you to Thursday; after this, your peers and friends do the same – so, despite your lowered energy and need for healing solitude, you can also be surprisingly popular. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your popularity surges for a few weeks. You feel determined, courageous, sexy, potent. But don’t jump off a cliff just to impress everyone! Moderation’s the key to rooms of accomplishment. Do enjoy social delights, flirtation(s) and the splendid optimism that flows over you until late month. Wish and dream – they can come true. One caution: now to February 2014, you would be wise to avoid marrying, forming a business partnership, or relocating. If single, enjoy love, but don’t commit. Work calls early week. Tuesday to Thursday bring great opportunities. Late week, finances. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Be ambitious to late September. Talk, planning and detail work fill your career and status zone for the next two weeks. A Gemini or Virgo figures prominently. The time for power plays is prior to Thursday – after this, you revert to being more interested in meanings and morals, the big picture, the “why” of events. (This is a better state overall as it tends, for you, to bring love – whereas power plays bring you perilously close to tawdry things.) All month, romance takes a back seat. Work succeeds splendidly midweek, but now to early 2014, avoid overdoing work.

Sept. 2 - 8, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your mind expands and grows calmer, more assured. Until Oct. 5, your hopes grow, especially about real estate, children, home, security and retirement matters. However, this same area meets familiar barriers, so don’t act impulsively on those hopes. Romance, creativity, speculation and risk attract you, and succeed splendidly, Tuesday to Thursday – but this entire zone needs sober “second thoughts” right into February 2014. Tackle chores Friday/Saturday. Others treat you sweetly until Thursday: after this, a month of financial reward and intimate beauty begins. Love exists! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Sexual and financial urges dominate. Careful what you casually say or promise Sunday/Monday – it might lead to an awkward situation later. Attend to home, kids, retirement prospects, security – and soak up Mother Nature – Tuesday to Thursday. This area is blessed right now, but slowly turn your attention elsewhere now to February 2014. For example, DON’T buy a new home – put your energies in your career instead. That area, career, heats up this month (to Oct. 5) – be flexible and good humoured with the boss, police and parents. Friday/Saturday bring romantic instability. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships fill this month – so do relocation prospects, possible contracts, negotiations, litigation, divorce, marriage, partnership dealings, dealings with the public, even fame. You face major opportunities, and, perhaps, major opposition. Co-workers will be affectionate. DO NOT start a lawsuit. You can make money (all month) from the media, education, travel and/or foreign-born people. Still, earnings are an obstacle course for you for some years ahead. (Hint: pick fame over $.) Errands, emails and travel speed splendidly midweek. Home is attractive yet jumbled late week. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-560-1269
