IKEA, union lock into mediation

NEW

Returning workers fined, expelled by Teamsters as two-month strike rumbles BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

The war between IKEA in Richmond and unionized workers is showing some signs of abating after store bosses and Teamsters Local 213 representatives met with a mediator on Saturday. It’s not clear how positive those talks were or how much longer the strike will go on.

Workers started job action two months ago to protest benefits cuts and the re-introduction of a two-tier wage system. The mediation was overshadowed slightly, however, of news that some workers among the 350-strong membership — who chose to return to work — have either been fined or been expelled from the union. “Yes, that happened because they crossed the picket line,” said union spokesperson Anita Dawson.

“There’s a whole process the union goes through and that was the decided outcome for those employees. They had opportunities to address the union.” Dawson added these instances wouldn’t impact the bargaining process. “For the large part, these employees crossed at the beginning though. It’s not an ongoing process. It’s not part of our bargaining and doesn’t affect it.” see Hearing page 4

Deadly weapons of all kinds were on show in Richmond on Friday as Mounties displayed the results of a month-long gun amnesty. Some 1,801 firearms, 155 other weapons and approximately 30,700 rounds of ammunition were turned in for destruction. The goal of the program, which ran through June, was to encourage British Columbians to safely dispose of unwanted weapons that might otherwise fall into the hands of criminals, children or others, potentially leading to tragic consequences. People were encouraged to surrender weapons — ranging from high-powered firearms and crossbows to pellet and replica guns — as well as ammunition, by calling their local police to attend, secure and remove the items. “Regardless of whether a weapon’s history is distinguished, shady or simply unknown, gun amnesty means its future is secure,” said attorney general and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton. “Ultimately, all of these weapons are destroyed. They’re not at risk of being found in a drawer by a child, or of ending up on the street after a

break-in.” The latest results show the sustained value of periodic gun amnesty

programs. Back-to-back programs in 1997 and 1998 yielded an average of

2,500 firearms and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. In 2006, the number of firearms rose to more than 3,200, plus another 725 unwanted weapons, while the number of rounds was relatively stable at 96,500. As with past campaigns, some interesting items were turned in, including: ! 1,026 rifles, 394 handguns and 380 shotguns; ! A machine gun received by Kelowna RCMP; ! Historical firearms, including a Lee-Enfield .303 rifle from World War II; ! Bayonets from the 1800s, turned in to Ridge Meadows RCMP; ! A well-publicized military missile more than six feet long, turned in by the relative of an individual who reportedly kept it as a souvenir of a tour of duty overseas. Craig Callens, commanding officer of the RCMP in B.C., said the misuse of firearms can take many forms. “Whether it involves a child’s curiosity, a domestic incident, a theft or some other turn of events, the impact is too often instantaneous and tragic.”

In the months after the house fire, four-year-old Brandon Laxa would be reluctant to talk about the incident or about the burns that crawled up his right and left forearms. Instead, teachers recommended art therapy. “I don’t think he can remember doing them now,” said his mother Theresa Laxa, turning to her 13-yearold son. “They were mostly drawings of burning buildings or of princesses being saved.”

It wasn’t until after his first trip to Burn Camp — funded by the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund — at the age of six that Brandon started opening up. At camp, burn survivors from across B.C., ages six to 18, get away for a week and participate in activities such as swimming, kayaking, skit night and arts and crafts. Last Sunday morning, the campers enjoyed the usual pancake breakfast send-off before heading to Camp Latona on Gambier Island until Friday afternoon. “We don’t talk about

It’s pretty much the same group, but there are new kids every year.” Since 1994, close to 800 children have attended Burn Camp. Kids at the camp learn how to heal from their emotional trauma.

her tenure there as associate minister. Findlay’s new responsibilities will include overseeing the Canada Revenue Agency, which administers tax laws for the government and for most provinces and territories, as well as various social and economic benefit and incentive programs delivered through the tax system. “It’s a very large department and, of course, spread out across the country,” she said. “It’s not just about collecting taxes, it’s about tax policies and we’ve brought in a lot of tax credits for families and those kinds of issues I’ll be working closely with the minister of finance.” Asked if she was surprised by her rise in the ranks in just her first term in Ottawa, Findlay noted the prime minister might be pleased with her communications and other skills that she’s shown, as well as her background in law.

Delta-Richmond East MP KerryLynne Findlay has moved up to a senior position in the Conservative government’s biggest cabinet shuffle yet. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Monday his new cabinet, one that features eight new ministers, including Findlay, a first-term MP who was moved from Associate Minister of National Defence to Minister of National Revenue. “I am very proud to assume my new duties as Minister of National Revenue and I am thankful for the responsibility that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has bestowed upon me. “I look forward to continuing the work of our government to create jobs, stability and long-term growth for all

Hearing: 27 workers expelled Continued from page 1 The union conducted a hearing at the Union Hall, where 27 workers were expelled for returning to work. Since then, five additional workers have been fined with the threat of expulsion, said Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick, public relations manager at IKEA. Currently, employees receive 80 per cent company paid benefits if they work 15 to 19 hours per week. Once they work 20 hours per week,

they are eligible to receive full benefits for themselves and their families. IKEA is proposing to increase the hours from 15 to 19 per week, to 15 to 23 hours per week. Only at 24 hours will employees receive full benefits for themselves and their families. “When dealing with a largely part-time workforce, those four hours are significant,” said Dawson. “They are taking away benefits by increasing the amount of

hours required. It’s also not the same benefit package.” Of 350 employees, 70 are full-time, according to Dawson. Forty of the remaining employees are guaranteed 30 hours per week, which Dawson said IKEA wants to reduce to 35 employees. Besides changes to benefit eligibility, the latest offer by IKEA included an increase in wage ranging from $10.79 to $24.03, up from $10.25 to $23.67, said Lowenborg-Frick.

News Public’s will tested on soil police BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Are Richmond taxpayers willing to pony up as much as $329,000 to help monitor agricultural land and prevent illegal dumping? Or are things just fine as they are? That’s what the city is hoping to find out for its soil removal and fill deposit regulation bylaw, which could result in hiring two or three new bylaw officers to make sure local agricultural land is protected. “We’re asking the public and stakeholders for feedback if we are going to make amendments to that (bylaw) or not,” said city spokesperson Kim Decker, adding that currently Richmond does not have a bylaw officer specifically tasked with assisting Agricultural Land Commission staff. “It’s done through our bylaws department as (and when) people are available to do it,” Decker said.

And that has left the city not being able to “be on top of things as much as we would like,” Decker said. The cost of hiring two new staff members would be $239,000 annually. Bumping that up to three would cost $329,000. If extra staff is added, the city would be able to implement preventative patrolling, perform field inspections and develop an advanced soil watch program. In addition, the public’s input will be sought on introducing incremental permit fees and fines for violations of the bylaw. “Right now, all we can do is prosecute offenders in the provincial court,” Decker said, adding it can be a lengthy and expensive process. To get input from the public, the city has scheduled an open house on July 23 at Richmond City Hall. Online feedback can be made at www.LetsTalkRichmond.ca. Deadline for submissions is July 29.

Mother: Camp becomes brotherhood Continued from page 3 include fire fighters, therapists, burn survivors and others in the medical field. “There are a lot of emotions they deal with at the camp, a lot of personal stuff,” said Laxa. “It becomes an amazing brotherhood and sisterhood.” BC Children’s Hospital

keeps records of burn cases and calls families when there’s an opening for camp. When they received the call, Laxa and her husband were hesitant to send their two young children away for a week — the fire affected both Brandon and his now 12-year-old sister. “I remember my first

visit,” he said. “I was excited, but really shy. Then when my parents came to pick me up, I was crying and mad at them for coming, I didn’t want to leave.” “It’s a place for them to have fun, be treated like normal kids,” his mother added. “He talks about camp for months after he gets back.”

News CRIME

Police watchdog concludes fatal shooting report BY TIFFANY CRAWFORD The Vancouver Sun

B.C.’s police watchdog has wrapped up its investigation into an officer-involved shooting that left 48-year-old Richmond resident Mehrdad Bayrami dead after a standoff outside a casino in New Westminster in November. Independent Investigations Office chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal has sent a report to the Crown but, unlike the RCMP, the IIO does not make recommendations for charges. Information contained in the report has not been made public. The criminal justice branch will now decide whether there is evidence to consider charges. The incident began around 6 a.m. on Nov. 8 outside the Starlight Casino when there were reports of shots being fired.

The officers cordoned off the area and the 24-hour casino was locked down as a safety precaution. The IIO says officers then spent many hours trying to talk to Bayrami, but he would not comply. At around 10:45 a.m., one of the officers shot Bayrami in the abdomen and he was transported to Royal Columbian hospital. The Richmond resident died in hospital from his injuries. IIO spokesperson Owen Court could not confirm whether Bayrami had a gun, but said no one else was injured. Police do not believe the man was at the casino before the standoff began and no hostages were taken in the incident. The incident caused major traffic delays in the area and the Queensborough Bridge was shut down for several hours.

CITY HALL

Steveston skyline could be changed by proposal Building heights and density will come under the microscope as part of plan to revamp village’s core BY BENJAMIN YONG Special to the News

The Steveston “skyline” could have a slightly different look if a City of Richmond proposal gets the green light. Changes to building height and density in the village core were due to be presented to city council’s planning committee Tuesday afternoon. The proposal was based, in part, on public consultation, including 83 completed surveys

in April and May. According to the Steveston Village Conservation Strategy, one third of all buildings on Moncton Street are allowed to be three stories and have a floor area ratio 1.6 times the lot area. The proposal would reduce the maximum building height to two stories and reduce the maximum density to 1.2, with exceptions granted on a case-by-case basis. A similar scenario is recommended for Bayview Street — the north side of a build-

ing can remain at the current three stories, but the south half is restricted to two stories with a portion of that allowed to reach two and a half stories within the roof area. In addition to building revisions, more parking would be made available as well. The conservation strategy allows 33 per cent less residential and commercial parking than stated in the Richmond Zoning Bylaw to encourage heritage conservation in the village. This number would be changed to 13 per

cent, resulting in 1.3 parking spaces required per dwelling, up from one, to address public concerns about the growing demand for spaces due to new developments.

Out of the firing line

ore than 1,800 guns were surrendered to police recently as part of a province-wide gun amnesty. Among them were pistols, rifles, shotguns, semiautomatic weapons and more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition. In Abbotsford, one resident called in to surrender a missile. Police apparently didn’t find the homeowner’s comment — “I don’t think it’s live” — particularly reassuring. In a previous gun amnesty, one Lower Mainland family even turned in a rocket launcher. For the most part, the guns turned in just tend to be old, and unused. They aren’t weapons favoured by gangsters or criminals. But getting them out of people’s attics, closets and storage spaces is still a commendable exercise. An old Chekov rule of drama said a playwright shouldn’t put a gun in Scene One unless it was going to be fired by the end of the play. And all too often, life has imitated art. Every year there are tragic cases in Canada of kids who get access to their family’s legal guns and manage to shoot either themselves or other children. People often do stupid things when they are drunk or angry. Having guns in the vicinity just ups the ante on that. In other cases, circumstances simply change. Someone who legally acquired a gun 20 years ago when they are healthy can go on to suffer dementia or mental illness. Simply put, fewer guns out there means fewer gun accidents. The gun amnesty program allows us to breathe just a little bit easier.

CHOICE WORDS

Only council benefits from sister city relations

The Editor, Re: “Sister city spending plans put on hold,” News, July 15. I’m sick and tired of our esteemed city council members and city staff setting up sister cities so they have exotic places to visit on the taxpayers’ dime. If they can’t afford to travel to places like Japan, Montreal and China on their own money, I’d suggest that they find a job that pays more or stay at home like some of us do regularly. I notice that places like Haiti, Attawapiskat and other less desirable locations, that might be able to use their questionable skills, are never included in the sister city lists. That “surplus” that they always manage to find for things they like to do is actually taxpayers’ money and I think it could be better spent on something more beneficial to the general public, such as food banks, seniors or children’s activities for instance. This is my first and probably my last letter to any editor, but if everyone who feels the same would just write one letter, I would hope that council would get the idea that we’re all sick and tired of their wasteful spending.

NDP still shaken up, new ministers fare well The summer legislative session is now half over, so it’s time for some observations and thoughts about what we’ve seen so far in the House: ! The multitude of new faces around the legislature has changed the atmosphere for the better. There are more than 30 newbies, and perhaps because they’ve had to spend so much time trying not to get lost in the maze of corridors, they haven’t had time to descend to the level of bitter partisanship that characterized the place the past few years. ! The new government cabinet, which has a number of rookies, has so far performed fairly well. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has navigated the usually rocky shoals of the government’s relationship with the B.C. Teachers Federation fairly well, and Transportation Minister Todd Stone has ably deflected any criticism hurled at him by the Opposition. Veteran MLA Bill Bennett is new to the energy portfolio and has his hands full with B.C. Hydro, but acknowledges there are problems at the Crown Corporation those needs to be dealt with and not swept under the carpet. One newcomer, Attorney-General Suzanne Anton, has had a bit of a shaky start, but she’ll have time to grow into her role. New Health Minister Terry Lake has already had to deal with controversy, but has weathered things well.

Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE

! The NDP Opposition has yet to find its sea legs in the House. A number of veteran MLAs, no doubt devastated by the prospects of another four long years in Opposition, appear to have checked out, at least for now. The only two members who seem to have their heads fully in the game right now are John Horgan and Mike Farnworth, and that may be because both may once again find themselves in a party leadership race should Adrian Dix step down as leader. ! A whole bunch of issues that dominated question period and much of the political debate before the election are now mostly off the table. Remember the NDP’s constant demand for an inquiry into the sale of B.C. Rail? Good-bye! The attacks on Premier Christy Clark for constantly campaigning? No more. Even the ethnic memo furor has lots its edge. ! Speaking of the premier, she hasn’t been around the legislature much as she spent several weeks campaigning in the Westside-Kelowna by-election, so she hasn’t had much of a physical presence. But there’s no doubt who is in charge, as her by-elec-

tion win cemented her hold on her party. ! B.C.’s first-ever Green Party MLA, Andrew Weaver, has demonstrated an ability to get under the skin of the NDP. He isn’t given much opportunity to ask questions in Question Period, but he does get to vote on things. His decision to vote in favour of the B.C. Liberal government’s budget really irritated a number of NDP MLAs, who voiced their objections on social media. He said he didn’t necessarily think the budget will actually be balanced when all is said and done, but he was in favour of at least the concept of it (something that sets him apart from the NDP). ! Clark has been able to reward most members of her caucus with cabinet posts, parliamentary secretary appointments, committee memberships and caucus positions, most of which come with a boost in salary. Two MLAs, however, have been frozen out: Moira Stillwell and Sam Sullivan. Stillwell has been on the outs with Clark for months, and Sullivan beat Clark for the Vancouver mayoralty some years back. It looks like Clark is not in a forgiving mood towards some people. I wonder whether she will display a similar attitude to some key people in the business community who were less than loyal before her miracle win. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

School trustee stands by decision to speak freely

The Editor, Re: “Trustee draws fire for talk show slot,” News, July 10. I have been an elected school trustee for one and a half years, in addition to being active in the community, a proud father of two daughters and work a fulltime job as a senior software development manager. I have also been a current affairs commentator for close to a decade before being elected in 2011. I provide printed, online and on-air media with commentary on issues facing ordinary Canadians every day. It is therefore understandable that I am still being invited as a guest at times to share my opinions on a wide range of topics that may or may not be related to educational issues. I always made it very clear to the audience that I was commenting as an individual and a concerned citizen. When on those occasions that I was interviewed as a Richmond Board of Education Trustee, I always made sure that I would be introduced as a trustee; and that I spoke only for myself and with my personal opinion. It has not occurred before that I was accused on the basis that I had misrepresented myself as speaking on behalf of the Board of Education. Through my participation in the past dozen of years, I have been able to bring closer attention and raise the level of interest on Canadian issues. I plan to continue this mutually edifying community service as long as there are topics that are relevant to Canadians. I do not agree to the implication that I have surrendered such rights as an elected official and will continue to speak my mind in soliciting meaningful dialogue and constructive discussion. The one-hour phone-in talk show in question was about the highly expected federal cabinet shuffle this summer; general speculation, its mechanics and politics, and not on any specific policy as implied by the spokesperson of the David Suzuki Foundation, Ms. Winnie Hwo. From listening to the recording of the program, it is confirmed that the discussion on the speculated

reshuffling of Peter Kent, Minister of Environment, and environmental issues constituted less than one-tenth of the topics covered. It was not true, and impossible, that I had carried on for four minutes about how the environmental movement was not viable. Freedom of opinion and expression is a right that all Canadians espouse to and treasure.

As a school trustee in Richmond, my right to express my views should not and must not be restricted by any “official line.” We are living in a pluralistic country where we do not sanction to one and only one voice. I fully support the environmental stewardship policy of the school district and have persistently integrated it into my daily living no less

than other citizens. But does it mean I cannot have my own views on certain issues and express them freely for public discussion if I do not sing from certain individuals’ song sheets? Furthermore, Ms. Hwo has confused education with indoctrination. Education is about developing the critical mind of the students and this is achieved by allowing different views

and opinions to flourish. Any views that might seem to challenge the orthodox doctrine should be encouraged, not suppressed. What are we actually modeling to our children if I am criticized for simply expressing an opinion not necessarily espoused to by the David Suzuki Foundation? It is hard to believe that Ms. Hwo, who was the chief of the news

department of an ethnic TV station and a radio phone-in program host, has suggested that I should be kept in check if my opinion is not approved by her. I sincerely hope that is a case of misunderstanding, or that she’s expressing her own opinion and does not reflect that of her employer’s. Kenny Chiu Richmond school trustee

Make exercise a promise

If you’ve ever attempted to make a routine out of exercising, here is a process I’m sure you’re familiar with. Getting off the couch or away from the computer is the first and hardest step. There is a mental battle that erupts as every fiber of your being tries to persuade you that: working out isn’t necessary, that you don’t have time, that it will hurt, or that you’ll do it later… etc. The voice persists as you go to the closet to pick up your neglected runners and put them on. You’re aware that you can still change your mind at this point but, you stand up, open the front door, stare out at the sidewalks and imagine yourself running… panting for breath all the same. This is it, the literal threshold of decision. Some close the door and return to their kitchen for a bag of chips just to reward themselves for even considering the idea of getting some exercise. Others break out into a jog and fight past the blossoming cramps, aches, pains, and lack of oxygen until they’ve run their route and

YOUTH VIEWS

arrive home exhausted, yet triumphant. Excuse the melodrama, but it’s taken me about a year to muster up the discipline to exercise. Without a class to enforce any system of daily physical activity, it somehow completely slipped off my list of priorities. Multiple times I experienced short-lived spurts of enthusiasm, before falling back to my regular schedule. Last week was different. After an inspiring conversation with a friend, I sat down, drew a chart and decided that for an entire month I would run every single day. I decided that, if I managed to colour-in every single box for a whole month, I would reward myself with something pretty from Lululemon. Today, I completed Day 10… and I haven’t missed a single day. As funny as it will sound, the chart has been, and continues to be absolutely essential. When considering why

that might be the case, I’ve come to two conclusions. The first conclusion is that the chart shows that there is an end in sight. There are only 31 boxes on my piece of paper. This has made the goal finite and manageable. It’s not abstract and immense. It’s just a bitesized goal with a little prize waiting for me at the end. The second reason why the chart helps is because it changes my motivation from striving for a better body shape or becoming a healthier person, to simply keeping a promise. With the chart, I’m running merely because I told myself I would. I’ve found that if I work out with the sole intention of losing a few extra pounds, I grow discouraged by day three, when I look in the mirror and see that there’s no drastic proof of my efforts. Now every time I’m tempted to skip a day, I visualize the chart and think how silly it would look with gaps like missing teeth. Making the decision to get off the couch and away from the computer was the hardest part. Once you do that... the rest is pretty much a walk in the park. Anna Toth is a J.N.

Biggest, best Nations to kick off Maurice Smith AllStars revealed

Richmond Rugby Football Club has announced the third annual Maurice Smith All-Stars. For the first time, the team includes 10 junior aged players, as well as the traditional senior boys and girls athletes. While it was a down year for quantity of programs in the city, the quality of the programs for the 2013 season was very high. At the junior level, both McRoberts and McMath competed in the Vancouver league, performing admirably against many of the bigger triple-A schools. McRoberts was led from the front by captain Sam Hagong, who was also called up to the senior team for the lead up to the BC Provincial tournament. McMath was led by hard-nosed centre Nathan Irvine, who was also invited to play for Vancouver-West during the recent PRC tournament. McMath, in a stunning, double over-time upset, knocked off the McRoberts Strikers in the city final, going on to place third in the Lower Mainland. For senior girl’s rugby in the city, 2013 was the second straight year featuring two Richmond programs. The McMath Wildcats, under the watchful eye of rookie coach Dan Stewart, continued to improve during their sophomore season in the Lower Mainland girl’s rugby league. Despite a narrow loss to cross-town rivals McRoberts, and some nail-biting finishes, the girls did not qualify for the BC finals. However, the McRoberts Strikers, featuring a roster comprised mostly of grade 9s, 10s and 11s were able to squeak into the provincial tournament, finishing seventh in the province at the Tier-II level. see Legacy page 19

54 teams, 1,200 players, thousands of fans expected at Hugh Boyd BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

It just keeps getting bigger and better every year. The 34th Nations Cup gets underway this Friday at the Hugh Boyd complex with more teams than ever and with a new flavour. A record total of 54 “countries” will take to the field this year — four more than 2012 — and for the first time ever, Saudi Arabia has qualified to compete in Western Canada’s premier amateur soccer tournament. And two sections, the women’s and the men’s over-52s, will enjoy two more teams each in their respective groupings. As ever, with an anticipated 1,200 players, thousands of spectators cheering on the country of their origin and glorious sunshine forecast to grace the fields at No. 1 and Francis roads, the tournament is shaping up to be one of the best for many a year. “We’ve expanded every year for the last three years and we will be looking to expand again, as long as we can keep the quality high,” said Nations Cup president Jeff Wilson. “The open men’s section hasn’t changed much but the standard has stayed high throughout and in the over30s and over-38s, there’s actually a

An interesting and colourful addition to this year’s Nations Cup will be Saudi Arabia who, at the third time of asking,

managed to qualify ahead of Turkey, Japan and First Nations. “They’ll bring crowds and a very colourful kit as well, so we’re looking forward to having them,” said Wilson. “Saudi will add yet another new cultural component to the Nations after the arrival of Iran a couple of years ago, who actually got to the final last year.” As for the teams to watch this year, Wilson said the first names that almost always reel off his tongue are the see Africa page 19

Africa: 90-player pool “Players are pulled together from all over the place and it’s always a little bit of a mystery.” Scotland and Ireland have traditionally fared well in the 30s, 38s and 45s in recent years and both countries will be aiming to extend that run in 2013.
