Childcare options limited during teachers strikeWanda [email protected]

Week two of “back to no school” and no end to the teachers strike is in sight for children and parents who continue to scramble for childcare.

There are still a few, albeit limited, options available.

Burnaby Neighbourhood House has spaces available for drop-in care during strike days at nine elementary schools—Clinton, Douglas Road, Gilpin, Lochdale, Marlborough, Maywood, Stride Avenue, Suncrest and Twelfth Avenue, said program director Sara Shaw.

Some centres were full last week while others were at 50 per cent capacity, she said.

“We do have spaces. It might not necessarily be at the centre closest to them but we can accommodate them at another centre.”

The cost is $237 per week or $47.40 per day for care from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., or $200 per week, $40 a day for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For more information, call Wana Sei, manager of child care at 604-431-0400 or [email protected].

NEB to decide after Sept. 15 whether Kinder Morgan can continue pipeline-related workWanda [email protected]

The City of Burnaby and others opposed to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion are at a stalemate on Burnaby Mountain with project proponent Kinder Morgan.

The city’s issued a stop work order.

Trees have been cut. Residents, protesters and city

staff have stood guard in Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area to prevent further disruption by the pipeline company’s crews.

The company says it has the right to access the land, even without the city’s permission.

It says the National Energy Board (NEB) Act allows such access for studies on possible routing for the pipeline. It wants to put the pipeline through the mountain so it needs to drill through it to assess its suitability.

Burnaby city hall says the company can come on the land,

but can’t ignore city bylaws, which include prohibiting tree-cutting or drilling in city parks.

The two disparate conclusions come after the NEB issued a ruling last month saying the company could access the land.

“I wouldn’t say it’s unusual for two parties to have a different interpretation of what we’re getting at,” said NEB spokesperson Sarah Kiley.

“It’s really up to the parties to either come to an agreement themselves, or to come back to us and say, as Trans Mountain has

done, in this case we’d like an order [forcing access] or they can take it to the courts.”

An order would have more teeth to it than a ruling, Kiley explained.

Burnaby has until Sept. 10 to provide comment on Kinder Morgan’s request to the NEB, then the company will have until Sept. 15 to reply. The NEB’s decision would come some time after that.

If it grants such an order, the company could then register it with the courts making it enforceable, Kiley said.

Meantime, city staff and the occasional resident were standing watch on Saturday at the site in question.

In a press release, Burnaby said on Sept. 3, the day after receiving a stop-work order from city officials, the company cut down six large, healthy trees between 14 and 24 metres (46 to 79 feet) high and seven other large trees.

It said the company cleared an area about the size of a football field and prevented city parks staff from accessing city trails.

“Even though this pipeline has not been approved, Kinder Morgan thinks nothing of illegally entering our park, causing irreparable harm to the ecosystem and defying the laws our citizens have put in place,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan in the release.

In addition to the stop-work order, city staff issued two tickets for cutting down trees in contravention of the parks bylaw, said Dipak Dattani of Burnaby’s engineering department.

Lisa Clement of the Trans Mountain project said the company did not have work crews on site over the weekend nor on Monday.

“We are assessing when we can resume work.”

Meanwhile, Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart called Kinder Morgan’s tree cutting a “very defiant action.”

He said dozens of residents have been on hand in recent days to keep an eye on the area.

In speaking with a resident who helped establish the conservation area, Stewart learned it was last logged in the 1800s so “it’s not like they’re cutting trees that are 10 years old.

“Folks are really mad that this is happening, that the Texas pipeline

company is thumbing its nose at local residents. People are really angry.”

He reiterated concerns that while the company says it wants to drill through the mountain, a cut-and-cover method would be much cheaper.

He wouldn’t be surprised, if the project is approved, to see the company switch tunneling methods, just like what happened during construction of the Canada Line in Vancouver.

Stewart noted that if that route is approved, the company would retain a right-of-way through the park.

“It would no longer be a conservation area after that.”

He said the situation on Burnaby Mountain is what people can expect all along the pipeline route—“The letter that goes out that says we’re doing non-intrusive stuff in your park and then you go in and find a clearcut.”

Meanwhile, the NEB is again taking applications for people to participate in the review process, this time specifically related to the new proposed section of the route through Burnaby Mountain.

Stewart’s office is once again offering help to anyone who wants to apply to have their views heard. “We’re really good at it now,” he said with a laugh.

The NEB’s deadline for applications is Sept. 24.

For more information, contact Stewart’s office at 604-291-8863 or [email protected].

Kinder Morgan is proposing to almost triple capacity on its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby to increase exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERAzzam Haq heads a giant beach ball at Saturday’s Summer Reading Club celebration at the Bob Prittie branch of the Burnaby Public Library. The summer reading club challenges young readers to read for a certain amount of time for 50 days through the summer months. Their results are tracked on monthly cards.

Burnaby Village Museum has a strike camp running this week from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. but it’s full.

It will be offering camps for the next two weeks as well, said Deborah Tuyttens, museum services supervisor.

Cost is $160 per week, plus $55 for those needing extended care to 4:30 p.m. Register at WebReg, http://bit.ly/WA9Avs, or at any Burnaby recreation centre.

Burnaby’s city parks and recreation department has strike camps at Bonsor, Cameron, Edmonds and Kensington community centres, Eileen Dailly pool and Camp Madawaska.

The 385 spots available are full with waiting lists in place, said Eric Bientjes, by email.

The ability to create more spaces depends on the availability of space and instructors, the latter who are often university students who

may have already returned to classes.

“Many of our facilities utilize 100 per cent of their available space during the fall, with seniors and adult programs during the day time,” Bientjes said. “As a result even if we have an instructor we are not always in a position to program a class. This strike is challenging our staff to use non-traditional spaces, and ensure that every one of our facilities is used to capacity.”

Full and half-day strike workshops will be held at 4Cats Art Studio in South Burnaby. Contact 604-558-4097 or [email protected] for details.

The YMCA of Greater Vancouver has a total of 1,040 childcare spaces at 25 locations across the Lower Mainland and the Sunshine Coast, said spokesperson Kelly Walker.

That includes 135 spots at four Burnaby elementary schools— Cameron, Capitol Hill, Cascade Heights and

Stoney Creek, where they normally operate out-of-school care.

Its Rosser space is not being opened because they were unable to find qualified staff, Walker said.

All the spaces they offer are full except for some spots at Camp Elphinstone in Gibsons for $35 per day, including a hot lunch. Transportation and extended care are available at an added cost. Financial assistance is also offered to those families needing to bridge the gap until the province’s promised $40 per day per child payment comes through, after the strike ends, said Walker. For more information, visit vanymca.org or call 604-939-9622.

On Monday, the BC Teachers’ Federation announced teachers would vote on whether to end the strike in the event the province agreed to its request for binding arbitration. But that’s a move Education Minister Peter Fassbender rejected on the weekend.

Fundraiser for L’Arche

The Burnaby Board of Trade raised more than $10,500 for L’Arche Greater Vancouver at its annual golf tournament Sept. 3.

The event, held at Riverway Golf Course, raised the money through the generosity of the players and a matching donation of $5,000 from Scotiabank.

L’Arche is a Burnaby-based organization which provides homes and day programs where people with and without developmental disabilities can “live, work and discover faith together,” said a BBOT press release.

But fines still outstanding: Consumer Protection BCWanda [email protected]

A North Burnaby kickboxing school has issued refunds to two former clients almost six months after being ordered to do so by Consumer Protection BC (CPBC).

When the refunds totalling almost $2,200 were not paid, the organization froze the business’ bank accounts, which it has the authority to do in certain circumstances, said Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith, CPBC spokesperson.

That apparently got the school’s attention and the refunds, in the form of bank drafts, were issued last week, she said.

As reported in the NewsLeader, Consumer Protection issued a compliance order in March against KFitness Burnaby, which also does business as Sport Kickboxing Academy, at 4715 Hastings St.

CPBC had found the school failed to issue refunds to two customers within 15 days of being notified they were cancelling their contracts. It also entered into verbal contracts and written contracts that didn’t provide the required information, both violations of the B.C. law governing such contracts.

The $2,500 in fines and penalties CPBC imposed on the school still have not been paid, she confirmed. “We are currently assessing our options on that front.”

As reported in March, KFitness owner Arleo Dordar, 27, claimed back then that he had already paid out the refunds but planned to appeal the penalties, calling the process unfair. Since then, the CBC aired a story about complaints against the school resulting in another 10 former clients coming forward with allegations over being refused refunds, overbilling and contract disputes.

Chabeaux-Smith said in an earlier interview that under B.C. law contracts for continuing

services, such as those for fitness centres or martial arts schools, must be in writing. Consumers have a right to get refunds under certain circumstances. Those rights must be stated in the written contracts. And people can cancel contracts within 10 days for any reason.

One of the refund recipients, Victoria Turner, said she changed her mind in less than half an hour after the price a KFitness staff member originally quoted for her 11-year-old son to join was contradicted by Dordar.

When she declined to go ahead with the higher price, she asked that her deposit be refunded but Dordar refused. She had not even signed a contract at that point, Turner said. After months of trying to get a refund on her own, she filed a complaint with Consumer Protection. It was almost exactly a year later that she received her $336.60 refund.

“I was happy but I was upset that it took so long,” Turner said.

Burnaby resident Niko Chan told the NewsLeader in July

that he filed a complaint with CPBC after seeing recent media stories. He claims he was never paid for three weeks of working as an assistant instructor, nor refunded a year’s worth of membership fees Dordar convinced him to prepay as a way to save money.

Chabeaux-Smith confirmed CPBC is currently investigating an additional complaint about the school’s business practices.

She noted once a compliance order is filed against a business, that can be used to bolster a case in small claims court.

CPBC can only regulate fitness contracts, but the City of Burnaby has the authority to revoke business licences.

Chief licence inspector Dan Layng said by email that it has been in contact with “several complainants regarding KFitness’ business practices. The file remains open and no final course of action has been decided yet.”

An email and phone message requesting comment from Arleo Dordar were not returned before the NewsLeader’s deadline.

VICTORIA – The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away.

Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public

sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools

and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Factory model fading for schools

Before jumping all over ICBC for requesting an increase of 5.2 per cent for basic insurance, let’s look at their reasons for the request.

Claims are up – way up – from five years ago.

Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier.

Legal and medical costs are also up.

And what has happened in the past five years?

Technology.The ever-growing use of

cellphones and other personal electronic devices by drivers is a major factor cited for the rise in injury claims.

But why should those of us without cellphones pay more because of the irresponsibility of some of those with them? Perhaps it’s time for ICBC to start awarding further reductions to those who do not have cellphones, or those who do not use them in their cars.

Of course, something like that would be impossible to monitor. The real solution is for the automotive industry to rectify the situation.

Install a mechanism in the motor of the car that renders smartphones, laptops and other such instrumentation useless, while the engine is engaged.

Impossible? Hardly. After all, you can turn on the lights of your house from anywhere now. A disengage switch for smartphones should be a breeze.

Too “Big Brother” for you? Remember, seatbelts used to

be optional; as did motorcycle helmets. Plenty of people protested those laws as well. But we eventually got over it.

Heaven forbid that we should be forced to drive without the use of a phone, or a laptop, or a DVD player.

COMMENTKinder Morgan and the

National Energy Board (NEB) seem to think that access to Burnaby Mountain for Kinder Morgan to do testing does not require either permission from Burnaby City or an order from the National Energy Board.

This is not what is stated in the NEB’s own publication “Pipeline Regulations in Canada: a Guide for Landowners and the Public (Revised September 2010)”.

I was given this booklet in April this year at a Kinder Morgan public meeting. It discusses a “Land Agreement” between pipeline company and land owner, and then the process for obtaining “… a right of entry when a landowner refuses to permit a company to enter his or her lands for pipeline-related purposes.”

This process includes a notice of 30-60 days to the landowner that it intends to apply to the NEB for a right of entry, the ability of the landowner to submit a written objection, and a process for determining compensation when there is no agreement.

It is clear from this that the company cannot just go ahead without an NEB order as is suggested by recent correspondence. Perhaps the law has changed since the NEB published its booklet four years ago, but if so why did Kinder Morgan give me an incorrect publication and why is there no updated version on the NEB website?

And why was a picture of the booklet cover featured prominently on an Aug. 28 email circular sent to me by Kinder Morgan?

Does the law now state that a

pipeline company can go onto any land and do anything it wants any time it wants without any permission?

If so, it is unacceptable in a democratic society and is likely to lead to civil disobedience.

David HuntleyBurnaby

Let’s not turn back time

We started out with a number of homeowners who had a legitimate concern about the value of their properties when Kinder Morgan announced the twinning of their 60 year old pipeline.

This group quickly got support from the global warming crowd who tell us they will save the planet by preventing Canadian oil from reaching market. Although it is not supposed to be common knowledge, the foreign funding provided for these Canadian NGOs behind it all comes mainly from those heavily into oil in OPEC territory. (See www fair-questions.com)

Both our NDP MPs and Mayor Corrigan found the parade of NIMBYs a match for their own goals and established themselves as “go-to” leaders. They had information handy how to interfere with the construction and become interveners in the process.

Mr. Ian Anderson of Kinder Morgan then assured everyone that his company had reached out to work with the city and, also, no personal property would have to be confiscated at all. Only four homeowners would be inconvenienced if one of the projected routes was to be selected.

Four!

He announced soon thereafter they would spend additional monies and a tunnel through Burnaby Mountain because, after all, they are good neighbours and do not like to inconvenience anyone.

This should have taken care of all homeowners concerns, but was interpreted instead as another mean trick to mislead the public.

The mayor has now blocked all Kinder Morgan’s efforts and prepared for drawn out court procedures.

He also planted the idea that Burnaby Mountain may be too unstable for such an undertaking, or that Burnaby Mountain might become unstable by any tunneling efforts.

When it looked as though he had no jurisdiction to thwart KM he threatened to enforce park board regulations and city bylaws...

Stay tuned. Nobody should be careless

and precautions should be taken at all times, whether we are driving a car, open a mine or getting oil to market.

But let’s not move the clock back as suggested!

The horse-and-buggy era is over and oil will be used for a while yet.

Even if it has to be brought in by rail.

Fassbender aims to make Grade 12 students ‘whole’Jeff NagelBlack Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.

“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out

of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.

“If they were accumulating the

savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”

As of Monday, 74 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.

Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administration as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other

commitments far in advance.

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

Parents have scrambled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school placements for their children.

Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, public school teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque who are advertising “tutor” services online.

Distance learning through independent online schools is another option.

The B.C. Online School run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools has been swamped with three times the normal number applications for distributed learning from students across the province as a result of the strike. Another independent online school based in Surrey declined to comment, saying the issue was “too sensitive.”

Province eyes longer school year to offset strike

As part of my ongoing series talking about different aspects of dementia, today I’d like to talk a little more about responsive behaviours.

When people with dementia become agitated, specifically in the late afternoon and evening, it is known as sundowning. They may become suspicious, upset or disorientated, see or hear things that are not there and believe things that are not true.

Triggers or causes for this can be fatigue (mental and physical), boredom, lack of routine and so on.

Some strategies to help with this can be to:

• discourage napping or keep naps short.

• ask recreation staff to schedule calming activities when agitation usually occurs

• restrict sweets and avoid caffeine at night• Provide items of comfort like a favorite pillow

or blanket• Plan and encourage activities during the day

Repetition

Repetition is verbal or physical (repetitive movements like rubbing hands together again and again). Unfortunately, people who perseverate are often characterized as “attention seekers.” In truth, the person has little insight or control over this.

Possible triggers or causes of this behaviour

can be feelings of insecurity or loss, loneliness or under- or over-stimulation.

Strategies that can help:• Distract with activities they enjoy• Provide something to occupy hands. • As staff if you can fit the repetitive action into

household chores (e.g. dusting the same area over and over again).

AngeR oR AggRession

Anger reflects many feelings and occurs for reasons that aren’t clear. We can try to figure out why but we must respond to the behaviour.

Possible triggers or causes include fatigue or disruption of sleep pattern, grief as the person’s world becomes less familiar, pain or physical discomfort, and sensory overload.

Strategies that can help: • Watch for a sudden increase in movement to

indicate anxiety • Respond in a supportive manner and reassure

in a gentle voice

• Reduce noise• Maintain a routine• Speak slowly, use repetition • Break activities into

manageable steps • Distract the person

with an activity• Approach slowly from the

front at the same eye level• Leave the room for a “time

out.” Remember it is the disease, not the person

• Avoid arguing or expressing anger or irritation, verbally or non-verbally

Hallucinations and paranoia

As the disease progresses, delusions — namely paranoid beliefs or false accusations — may occur.

It is common for people with dementia to believe that their food is poisoned or that their belongings have been stolen.

Others may believe that someone is spying on them or trying to hurt them.

Remember that these

accusations are the result of the disease; they are not willful or intentional.

And although they can be hurtful, try not to take them personally.

It is important not to argue with a person with dementia or try to convince him that his perception is not real.

His perception is part of his own reality; try to accept it and meet him where he is.

Some possible triggers or causes can include:

• Sensory changes (hearing and vision diminishes)

• Medications or physical illness

• Unrecognized environment or caregivers, inadequate lighting

• Disruption of routines • Removal of items from the

person (e.g. money or jewellery)

Some strategies that can help:• Meet with her physician to

review medications and get hearing and vision tests.

• Seek medical evaluation for illness, infection, bowel impaction, urinary tract infection etc.

• When she is suspicious, look for lost articles and remind her where valuables are stored. Don’t scold for losing or hiding things and keep a spare set of frequently lost items (if possible). Investigate suspicions that might be true.

• Increase room lighting • Do not directly disagree

with a false idea. • Use physical touch as

reassurance.

Next week we’ll talk about keeping the aging mind sharp!

Delay dementia—could hearing aids be the answer?Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language, judgment and behavior. This is the finding of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The study included 639 people whose hearing and

cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end of the study. How might hearing loss and dementia be connected? Investigators aren’t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both conditions, or possibly

the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

The article concludes that, whatever the cause, these findings may offer a starting point for further research as to whether interventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

Burnaby RCMP are warning the public after a man was robbed while trying to buy a laptop computer off Craigslist.

The man was to meet the seller at Sussex Avenue and Bond Street shortly after 7 p.m. on Thursday. When he drove up to the meeting place, two men approached and entered his vehicle pointing what appeared to be a handgun.

The victim fled the vehicle, running to a nearby house for help. The two suspects fled on foot.

The suspects are described as being in their 30s, and were wearing white T-shirts and carrying backpacks.

One was heavy-set with blonde hair while the other was described as slim.

“We understand these social media sites are a popular method for people to buy and sell items,” said Burnaby RCMP Supt. Steph Drolet, of the online classifieds. “However, we urge people to be careful especially when meeting strangers. If at all possible, bring someone with you, don’t let people into your vehicle and meet at a busy location where there are lots of people.”

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
