New Westminster school trustee Lisa Graham and

her family were in a McDon-ald’s one day munching on hamburgers when out of the blue, her husband Da-vid said, “You know, if you worked at McDonald’s full time ...”

Graham wondered where he was going with this.

“...You would make more money ...”

“... You would work fewer hours than you do on the school board.”

And she waited for his punch line.

“And we’d get free french fries.”

He wasn’t far from the truth, says Graham after tell-ing the story.

School trustees, for instance, make less than $25,000 a year.

So, if it isn’t the money, what motivates someone to give up many hours of their week to attend meetings, civic events and study staff reports in the name of civic duty?

Start at grassrootsGord Larkin understands

the challenge of convincing good people to run.

As president of the Burnaby Citizens’ Associa-tion, that’s an important part of his job. He says most BCA candidates start out by being involved in the community, whether it’s working on building a playground at

their kids’ school or volun-teering for a minor sport organization. Larkin says eventually people decide to run for offi ce because the challenge of making the city better appeals to them.

“Regardless of party, peo-ple have to have that com-mitment to public service. It’s time consuming and you just want to have to serve,” says Larkin. “It certainly isn’t the remuneration in municipal politics, and politi-cians aren’t the most adored people in the world.”

Neil Powell got his start at the grassroots. Although he won’t be running this time, the Voice New Westminster organizer previously ran for council after being involved in his local residents associa-tion.

“For others it’s a bevy of things that they see in their city or on their school board that they want to see changed,” says Powell of candidate motivation. “[For me] some of the community concerns were not being served by those on council. Other interests were being served other than those of citizens and taxpayers.”

Recruiting quality candi-dates is not easy, he says, because they need to have an accommodating schedule or an extremely understanding employer.

“It’s diffi cult because it requires a lot of your time once you’re elected,” says Powell. “Mounting a cam-paign is time consuming, along with also having full-time employment.”

Public expects a lotTime is just one thing a

civic politician must provide to do an effective job.

An uncommon amount of common sense, knowledge of the community and the inner workings of city hall or school district, and being decisive in a fair and just manner are also helpful.

“We ask our local politi-cians to do a fair bit,” says SFU political science profes-sor Patrick Smith, a North Burnaby resident. And yet we don’t pay them much, or even provide them with support such as giving them personal staff, he adds.

Some politicians are more ego-driven than others.

“For someone to put themselves out in front of a community, it does require a bit of ego. But it’s my experi-ence that most people enter

public life for the good.”Judging by low voter turn-

out, it seems most residents don’t fi nd out who their civic politicians are until something on their street, or with their home, goes wrong. Despite public apathy, coun-cillors and trustees have a lot of power because cities do a range of things that are essential.

Still, that doesn’t stop some people from taking a cynical view of a civic politi-cian’s motivation when he or she votes a certain way in council chambers or at a board meeting.

Those doubts often surface in relation to proposals from developers who contribute to election campaigns, or when politicians are voting on contract for unions—another signifi cant campaign con-tributor.

“Perception can often become the reality,” says Smith, who believes weak civic election legislation in British Columbia is a big reason why that’s the case.

“[Former BC Liberal cabi-net minister] Bill Bennett described it quite correctly as the Wild West. There are no limits on spending, no limits on contributions and no limits on where they come from, including outside the country,” says Smith. “We’re probably the last jurisdiction in the country where that’s possible.”

Inspired by familyFor Graham, who has been

a trustee for three terms, public service was instilled in her from an early age by her parents, particularly her father, who was an RCMP offi cer for 35 years.

She was also inspired because she has an autistic son, and over the years has actively advocated for him. It was while doing that work when someone suggested she’d make a good trustee, adding it wouldn’t be too much trouble because the board only met two Tues-days a month.

It didn’t quite work out that way.

“School district issues consume your life because they’re that important,” says Graham, who plans to run again Nov. 19.

“You realize you have to step up, but it’s also very satisfying to advocate for others.”

3-D virtual training system only one in Western Canada

By Wanda ChowNEWSLEADER

Radiation therapy stu-dents at the B.C. Insti-tute of Technology now have a new tool to ready them for working in the fi eld, a 3-D simulator, the fi rst of its kind in Western Canada.

The Virtual Environ-ment for Radiotherapy Training (VERT) was developed in the U.K. and BCIT’s Burnaby campus is the second place in Canada to get one after the Michener Insti-tute in Toronto, said Lorraine Clark Roe, head of the radia-tion therapy program at BCIT.

VERT is a large 3-D projec-tion system that simulates a linear accelerator, a radiation unit used in treating cancer, and even offers life-size visual-izations of the human body.

The system allows students to learn how to operate the units in a safe, relaxed environment where they can learn from mistakes without any harm or interruption to a patient’s treatment, Clark Roe said.

“You’re so limited when you just talk. Even pictures and slides is limiting. This is very interactive,” she said. “They can make motions with this technology and see what the result is.”

Clark Roe believes the hands-on training, albeit in the virtual sense, will result in a more comfortable experi-ence for cancer patients being treated by the students during their practicums.

“I think [patients will] realize that there’s less hesitation [on the part of the students], there is more confi dence,” she said, as well as less chatter between the student and the actual therapist on what should and shouldn’t be done.

“I think the whole experience will be more professional perhaps, or confi dence-inducing even, for the patient.”

BCIT student Sanj Jassi, in his last year of the three-year radia-tion therapy program, agreed.

He noted that in his fi rst semester of the program his class only had one day working with an actual linear accelerator at a cancer centre, which didn’t give them much time to try it out. The simulator

will allow for much more prac-tise at school.

Based on his eight months of practicum experience, Jassi said the simulator, even the physical controller, is just like the real thing.

“It’s 100 per cent right on. It sounds like the real machine, it moves like the real machine, every component that you can control at the cancer centres themselves, you can control with the virtual reality machine.”

Clark Roe said new radiation therapy students will now start to use the simulator in the fi rst month of the program, when it will be used to introduce basic concepts and safety issues.

BCIT employs simulators to train radiation therapy technicians

CONTRIBUTED PHOTORadiation therapy students at BCIT practise on the school’s new 3-D simulator that will now allow them to familiarize themselves with the equipment before working with actual cancer patients.

Two complaints prompt action, including book cooking, bedbug sniffer dogs


It may not have been a mystery but it was certainly a thriller for Metrotown library staff and patrons in recent weeks after bedbugs were found in the branch recently.

Metrotown branch manager Deb Thomas said it received the fi rst of two reports of bedbugs being found in books on Sept. 19. In one case, a dead bedbug was found and in the other, the bedbug was still alive.

The patron took the book home and brought it all the way back, with the live bedbug inside, as soon as it was discov-ered, Thomas said. “That was immediately bagged.”

The pest was confi rmed to be a bedbug, prompting the library to call in a pest control company who were on the scene within a day.

Thanks to bedbug sniffer dog Ranger, the company was able to pinpoint the location of

the problem—the mystery and thriller section. No additional bugs were found, but some eggs were detected.

All the books in that section, several hundreds of them, were sealed in plastic bags and iso-lated in a room in the library’s parkade. The pest control company steam treated those areas of the library and just this past Thursday, it “cooked” the books in something akin to a mobile convection oven, which heated them to about 50 C to kill any remaining bugs.

“Just to be extra, extra care-ful we are having the books re-inspected before they go back on the shelves ... with the canine sniffer,” Thomas said. The re-inspection will take place a week after the heat treatment to take into account germination periods, and any books that don’t pass the sniff test will be discarded.

The sniffer dog will also be re-inspecting the entire library branch just to be on the safe side. “We feel like we’ve basically taken every possible precaution to make sure that it hasn’t affected anybody else.”

The initial reports came from two patrons and two other patrons were identifi ed as being at risk based on the

affected books’ borrowing his-tory. Those patrons were noti-fi ed of the issue, she said.

Thomas said bedbugs in libraries are not that common with a “few rare occurrences in the Lower Mainland.” She stressed that such facilities are not an ideal breeding ground for the pest.

“They’re hard surfaces, they’re cleaned daily, in some cases more than once a day, depending on the area, and generally bedbugs like to feed on people at night and there’s nobody here at night.

“It’s very easy to contain pretty quickly as long as you’re alerted early on, and we were in this case.”

She added, “I don’t think that there’s a high risk of getting an infestation from the library.”

Since the incident, the branch has put in place a proto-col for dealing with similar inci-dents. Staff are being vigilant and have been instructed to bag items immediately if it contains a pest requiring identifi cation.

“I think we’ve made sure there’s no further danger to the public.”

Anyone with concerns is welcome to call Metrotown branch manager Deb Thomas at 604-436-5400.

There’s no doubt the facelift given to BC Place’s tired and worn concrete structure is spectacular.

Iconic a structure as it was, it had become a faded, dirty pillow on Vancouver’s skyline. Now the transformation has given it the look of a gargantuan rack-of-lamb hooked up to Christmas tree lights. It has defi nitely bright-ened up Vancouver’s look, especially at night, for the better.

BC Place long ago lost its pizzazz. It was hot and stuffy inside during the summer. The interior was stark, the blue seats blah. The sound system was brutal. The scoreboard pathetically tiny, and the video board lame.

Not only did the BC Lions have trouble attracting spectators, but PavCo—the Crown corporation that operates the stadium—struggled to bring in other events.

At a minimum it needed a new lid. If this was a house, most cost-conscious homeown-ers might have just fi xed the leaky roof. That would have been the simple Band-Aid solution, and B.C. taxpayers might have been OK with it since it would have been the least costly. The most expensive solution—well over a billion dollars—would have been to demolish it and build another stadium, kind of like what happens every time a Lower Mainland home changes ownership these days. PavCo and the province had to consider whether to go for the basic renovation, the extreme makeover involving upgrading almost every nook and cranny, or the tear down. They opted for Door No. 2 at a cost of $563 million.

The decision came at a time when health, education and infrastructure costs were tak-ing off. Half a billion dollars would have been a help in any of those sectors.

Part of the plan to pay off the reno on ste-roids is to sell or lease surrounding property for residential, hotel and casino development. Reports indicate the province will still be on the hook for about half the cost.

Despite the glorious glow of the weekend, for many B.C. taxpayers the sticker shock will never wear off.

VANCOUVER – The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention spent quite a bit of time talking about new wireless technology. Unfortu-nately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government.

A tiny group of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver convention centre each morning, setting up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins from privacy invasion to human rights violation.

One of them allowed that she was wearing “special clothing” to ward off the bad rays. That’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates a delegate’s wireless signal exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equiv-alent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even cal-culating those other horrible sources of electromagnetic energy bombarding downtown Vancouver, such as traffi c lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the Sun or Earth’s molten core.

It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I attended an economic development panel, at which physi-cian and cabinet minister Margaret MacDiarmid described the continuing extension of rural cellphone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s contract with Telus.

There was not a discouraging word about cellphone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. Quite the contrary.

MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and un-serviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multi-

ministry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cellphones save lives on remote highways.

In the main hall, supposedly experi-enced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do.

This continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart meter “controversy” all week, apparently because it reliably generates angry calls.

The descent into farce became complete when delegates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a moratorium on a smart meter installation program that BC Hydro has already paid for. The vote was too close to call, so they had to fi sh out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the morato-rium.

Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she

replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million.

“I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wireless and cellphones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.”

I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating.

In fact, WHO acknowledges that people who claim hypersensitivity to electromagnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies.

WHO also notes that cellphone tower emis-sions are effectively fi ve times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart meter signals are much weaker than that.

I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, support only those who have the common sense to understand what a smart grid is.

As the City of Burnaby honours its “Burnaby Heroes” this month, my mind turns to the many unsung Burnaby heroes I have met in the course of living and volunteering here. These individuals exhibit unbelievable courage, unwavering nobility, astonishing resilience and inspiring passion for helping others. These people have touched my heart and changed my life and I want to take the time to honour them…

The parents of children with special needs, who stand in their child’s corner, fi ghting for their resources, working hard to meet their child’s needs every day and to build a future for them, often feeling exhausted but pushing on for the love of their child and others like them—they are my heroes.

The 90-year-old lady who plays tennis for four hours three times a week with her “younger” cohorts, always smiling and encouraging everyone to keep active so they can enjoy their life—she is my hero.

The refugee families that arrive in our school system fresh from wit-nessing their family members killed right in front of them or their loved ones taken away by force, and who work so hard to learn a new lan-guage, a new culture, and to build a different life for their children, sometimes by working two jobs, struggling to make ends meet, yet somehow, who still manage a smile for you when they drop the kids off at school in the morning—they are my heroes.

The staff at community schools, who not only teach our children, but pour out their hearts and their own resources to meet the needs of the families in the community, who carry those children home with them at night—in their minds and hearts—not taking a job at a differ-ent site perhaps because they know this is where the kids really need a wonderful teacher like them—they are my heroes.

The dad who walks on crutches, as he has only one leg (a war injury, perhaps) but accompanies his child to school every day, walking him into a new life—he is my hero.

The couple who overcame cancer and blindness and opened up a restaurant in Burnaby, serving deli-cious cultural cuisine to regulars like myself, until recently having to close down due to another battle with cancer—they are my heroes.

You, when you stop to buy a homeless person a sandwich, when you hold the door open for an elderly lady with her walker, when you forgive even though it hurts so much, when you live true to your values in the face of opposition, when you do what’s right even though no one else will—you, you are my hero.

Success doesn’t always come on the first try

I am pleased to be running as the Team Burnaby candidate for mayor and look forward to bringing fresh ideas and fresh thinking to Burnaby.

It is true that I have run in past civic and provincial elections. I take pride in the fact that I have made a contribution to public life by run-ning for offi ce.

I’m sure you will remember that the current mayor ran and lost many times before he was elected to council and MLA Harry Bloy ran many times unsuccessfully in civic elections before he was elected MLA. These and many other politi-cians were unsuccessful at the start of their political careers. They were not born into their current elected positions.

I have worked hard all my life, building a career in business from scratch, earning success through dedication and perseverance. Burn-aby city hall needs a mayor who can lead by example and I intend to do just that.

Fraud would be simple with online voting Re: Online voting option backed by B.C. cities

I wonder if voter fraud has been considered when these so-called “experts” recommend online voting. I will give one simple example of voter fraud out of the many possible ways to cheat; how will authorities deal with vote selling?

We already know that many eligible voters do not vote as it is. If Person A wants to cheat and give as many votes as they can for their candidate, what will stop them from buying the voting code or number assigned to Person B who doesn’t care about elections?

UBCM asks province to allow e-voting at the civic level

By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS

Citizens may be able to remotely vote over the Internet to elect their mayor and coun-cil as early as 2014.

Union of B.C. Munic-ipalities delegates voted by a two-to-one margin Wednesday to urge the province to lay the groundwork to allow online voting as an option three years from now.

Advocates of the idea say it could reverse a trend of sagging voter turnout, while detractors worry casting a ballot may no longer be secret, opening the door to vote-tampering by interest groups out to sway the result.

“We all have to acknowledge the fact society has changed,” said Coquitlam Coun. Linda Reimer, one of the delegates who voted in favour.

Just 20.5 per cent of Coquitlam voters turned out in the last election, she said, and the provincial average is 35 per cent for civic elections.

White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair dismissed another delegate’s sugges-tion many seniors aren’t tech-savvy and wouldn’t benefi t.

She said one Ontario city that allows online

voting found most users are seniors with mobility problems.

Others warned it’s too risky to end the long tradition of voting secretly in a ballot booth at an authorized polling place.

“Online voting is fraught with danger,” said Sunshine Coast Regional District director Donna Shugar.

“You don’t know who is in the room with a voter coercing or persuading them. We do not allow people to go in the polling booth with other people when they are voting.”

When the voting booth becomes your computer in your home, she said, such restrictions and safe-

guards will no longer exist.

“It’s too easy to hack a system,” added Fraser Valley Regional District director Wendy Bales, predict-ing the technology – if it backfi res – may not strengthen democracy but further erode faith in the system.

Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma pointed to irregulari-ties over online voting during the BC LIberal leadership vote earlier this year.

“I was busy so I phoned my wife, gave her my number and she voted for me,” Hansma said, add-ing there’s so far no technological solution available to block unauthorized voting or undue infl uence.

“This isn’t being forced on anyone,” countered Kelowna Coun. Kevin Craig. “If it’s not right for your community, you’re not being railroaded into it.”

Community, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment Minister Ida Chong has promised to pursue the idea, which would require a change of legisla-tion and time to sort out the technological issues. Another tradi-tion that will defi nitely end in 2014 is Novem-ber voting.

From that year on, local voting will hap-pen in October.

The election date change was approved by the province in response to a UBCM vote a year ago.

Online voting option backed by B.C. cities

UBCM had its own wrangle of electronic voting at the start of proceedings this week. Delegates had been given electronic voting devices to vote on resolutions, but some questioned whether the wireless gadgets might let some vote from outside the hall – or even go golfi ng while other delegates vote for them. They were told it’s possible, but it would be wrong.

VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment will provide more money for special-needs support in the province’s public schools, and impose new training on teachers, according to Premier Christy Clark’s fi rst throne speech.

Lieutenant-Governor Steven Point delivered the speech Monday to open a new session of the B.C. legislature. It confi rms that the province’s “net zero” negotiation mandate for public sector union contracts will be imposed for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, whose contract expired last June.

But after two years of a “net zero” wage freeze that has been accepted by most government unions, the speech hints that public sector employees may start seeing wage increases again for contracts that expire in 2012, if “co-operative gains” can be made.

The BCTF has been refus-ing non-essential duties since school started in September, and on Monday the B.C. Public School Employers Associa-tion met to consider reducing teacher pay or imposing a

lockout in an effort to force a settlement.

The BCTF is demanding wage parity with other prov-inces and a range of benefi t improvements, as well as hun-dreds of millions of dollars to reduce class sizes and increase special-needs support staff.

“Today, school boards and parents are seeking additional fl exibility and choice when it comes to educating our students to provide an educa-tion second to none,” says the throne speech, the traditional document that sets goals for the year to come. “These changes will be bold and repre-sent a signifi cant improvement in how, when and where educa-tion takes place.”

The speech also commits the government to make sure teachers who “abuse their position of trust are removed and not permitted to return.” B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Cole-man confi rmed Monday that means amendments are coming to legislation governing the B.C. College of Teachers. Victoria lawyer Don Avison reviewed the college last year and found that BCTF infl uence allowed teachers to return to classrooms after being

convicted of serious crimes including cocaine traffi cking and sexual assault of students.

Other highlights of Monday’s throne speech:

• B.C.’s fi rst Family Day statutory holiday will be Feb. 18, 2013.

• To reduce the backlog in B.C. courts, legislation is coming to relax restrictions on part-time work performed by retired judges to provide “surge capacity.”

• Prosecutors in Stanley Cup riot cases will ask for TV and radio access to cases, which are expected to start this month.

• New legislation is promised to restrict scrap metal sales to deter metal theft.

New fishway more easily crossed by weaker fish


A new fi shway built in Burn-aby Lake Regional Park should make it easier for spawning salmon in their fi nal journey up the Brunette River.

Decades ago, a hydraulic “fi sh elevator” was in place on the river, which has been dammed since 1935, said Larry Yee, a senior engineer with Metro Vancouver.

Then in 1992, the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans installed a plywood and timber fi shway shaped like a staircase.

That wooden version com-prised four pools, each a half metre (almost 20 inches) in height, that fi sh had to leap to make up the two-metre height difference from one side of the Cariboo Dam to the other, Yee explained.

“If the weak fi sh couldn’t make it, it’s too bad.”

The new fi shway is a 25-metre-long concrete struc-ture containing 12 pools, each with a height of only 15 cm (six inches), making it easier for smaller, weaker fi sh to make their way uphill.

The $350,000-Metro Vancou-ver project is lined with sand, rocks and boulders, simulating a natural creek. The rocks cre-ate differences in water fl ow, providing options to the fi sh.

“It’s like hiking up a moun-tain, you pick the easiest route for you,” Yee said.

The Sapperton Fish and Game Club keep track of the spawning fi sh with the help of a holding pen along the route, Yee said, and has reported about 100 salmon have made it up the old fi sh ladder in each of the last few years.

It’s hoped the new fi shway will allow more spawning salmon to return. After climb-ing the fi shway, the fi sh enter Burnaby Lake then swim onto one of the connected creeks. That’s where they lay their eggs before dying.

When water was put through the project for the fi rst time in mid-September, it wasn’t long before a trout made its way to

the top, Yee noted.Park visitors to the east side

of the lake will have a great view of the fi shes’ fi nal journey as the main trail is connected to a pedestrian walkway that goes right over the dam. Metro

Vancouver plans to install interpretive signs explaining how the fi shway works.

This fall could be a good time to see it

in use as pink salmon are due to return to spawn in October, followed by chum in November and coho in December, he said.

The Brunette is a tributary of the Fraser River and the outlet river of Burnaby Lake. Water levels in the Brunette can increase dramatically after heavy rains so the Cariboo Dam was built to control outfl ows into the river, lake and creeks.

Spawning fi sh get a lift at Burnaby Lake park

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOThe new ‘fi shway’ is 25 metres long and contains 12 pools, making it easier for fi sh to get upstream.

VANCOUVER – With municipal elections approach-ing in November, B.C. business groups are renewing their pressure on contenders to slow the rapid growth of local government spending.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has asked mayors and councillors attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to sign a “taxpayer pledge” that calls on them to hold operating expense growth down to the combined increase in popula-tion and infl ation, and narrow the gap between property tax rates for business and residen-tial properties.

The CFIB calculates that B.C.’s municipal operating spending rose nearly 58 per cent between 2000 and 2008, twice as fast as population and infl ation grew.

Sechelt Mayor Darren Ink-ster signed the taxpayer pledge Wednesday, as did Port Moody councillor Diana Dilworth and Coquitlam councillor Linda Reimer. Coquitlam council candidates Terry O’Neill and Andy Shen also stepped up, along with Vancouver mayoral candidate Suzanne Anton and

three contenders for Vancouver council seats.

Shachi Kurl, the B.C. director of the CFIB, said the initial response is good, considering her group was told not a single incumbent would publicly sup-port the pledge. She’s hoping candidates for municipal offi ce will carry the taxpayer pledge message into their campaigns.

The UBCM executive issued its own analysis this spring, rebutting several years of CFIB claims that municipal spending is out of control. The UBCM analysis points to rising police, fi refi ghting and recreation costs, as well as those imposed by senior governments such as paying for carbon offsets.

Colwood Mayor Dave Saun-ders also signed the pledge, although he isn’t seeking re-election. He said the tax targets are similar to what his council has accomplished by this year, and he would have signed the pledge if he was running in

November. Unionized munici-pal workers have to look at the state of the economy and see if their wage demands are hold-ing back the growth of their community’s business tax base, Saunders said in an interview.

“The private sector can’t expect a cost of living pay increase every year, so I don’t think it’s fair in relation to union or private to say one’s going to get it but not the other,” he said.

Joining the CFIB in this year’s push for spending restraint is the Independent Contractors and Business Association. The ICBA pro-duced a report detailing a simi-larly steep rise in municipal fees for construction, linking it to union contracts that feature pay and perks well beyond the private sector average of recent years.

ICBA president Phil Hochstein said “gold plated” union contracts with wage increases beyond infl ation and benefi ts such as cash payouts for unused sick days are a key driver of costs.

“Unions are not to blame,” Hochstein said. “It is municipal politicians who have forgotten how to say no to everything but tax increases.”

A renowned American astrologer is venturing to New Westminster next week to make a rare public appearance.

Author and astrologer Robert Hand began studying the zodiac as a teen in 1960. He’ll be presenting two lectures and a workshop Oct. 13 to Oct. 15 at the International Spiritualist Alliance, 201 - 317 Columbia St.

Hand’s appearance is part of the Fraser Valley Astrological Guild’s 20th anniversary cel-ebrations.

Guild president Anne Massey said she’s been asking Hand to come to New Westminster for nearly a decade. She said part of the reason he agreed to appear was to help the guild celebrate its birthday.

“We’ve had a lot of very prominent astrologers come to town and lecture us, but this is probably the biggest name,” Massey said. “What he doesn’t like to be called, but people refer to him as, is the Steven Spielberg of astrology. “

Hand made his name in the 1970s by developing computer programs that helped usher in a new era of astrological stud-ies.

“Before the software, it would take an astrologer two, three hours easy to

put the chart together,” Massey said. “What used to take me two, three, four hours, I can now accomplish in 10 to 15 minutes. So that allows me to concentrate on what it tells me rather than, ‘Oh, I still have got to fi gure out where the moon was.’”

Hand has also authored a series of books aimed at mak-ing astrology more accessible to non-scholars.

“He has a real neat way of being able to take a concept, understand its roots and origins and explain it so that it could be applied rather that just be complete theory,” Massey said.

Hand’s lectures and work-shop are open to the public. $10 covers the cost of the Oct. 13 lecture, while the price of the Oct. 14 lecture is $20 for guild members and $30 for non-members.

The Oct. 15 workshop will cost $120 for members and $150 for non-members.

Massey said the guild is also welcoming medical astrologer Lee Lehman in 2012 for a week-end of workshops.

“At the moment we’ve got big names. I don’t know how I’m going to top these two (Hand

and Lehman). I truly don’t,” she said.

Q : Our company is en-couraging some of us to work at home for about half the time. I was initially thrilled but now I’m worried about setting up a home offi ce and potential confl icts with my wife and kids. Any suggestions for me?

Most offi ce workers would be ecstatic if they were told they could work from home, even for part of the week: no commuting, a less structured environ-ment, the comfort of a residence, a dress code of pyjamas.

However, as you are suspecting, the allure of working from home needs to be considered realistically because, after all, work assignments must be accomplished, whatever the setting.

You note that your employer is encouraging you to work from home: it’s not compulsory but I would recommend you go for it. You are obviously

trusted and they believe you can succeed without extensive monitoring.

If you don’t currently have a home offi ce you’ll need to get organized with a suitable physical setting. Working from the corner of the dining room table would be a poor choice. A separate room—with a door—is the best option, especially if you have

young children at home.

Attempt to replicate your cur-rent offi ce if at all possible. A com-puter is obviously essential—which your employer may pay for—and a good multi-line phone with call display, call wait-

ing and voice mail is also mandatory.

Consider the layout and décor. Although you might think this is a relatively minor matter, you do need to be comfortable. Consider choosing a large desk, a good swiveling chair, even some artwork and a plant or two.

Organization will be critical: from your fi rst

day, you’ll need to be disciplined, even to the extreme; develop a routine and be guided by a written list of tasks and priorities (which can be checked off upon completion).

Balance, too, will be critical. If you know you have some of the charac-teristics of a “workaholic,” be aware these can sometimes be nurtured at home. Avoid working outside normal business hours if possible and take normal breaks and meals (lunch with your family will be a pleasant time).

Incidentally, if your fam-ily is the greatest obstacle to accomplishing your tasks, you may want to re-evaluate your decision to accept the opportunity to work from home.

Participants scoured the route counting fish and searching for neon palm trees along the way. For the second year in a row Canadian Tire’s South Burnaby Team won the rally. Metrotown Mazda came in second and KVOS-MeTV took third place on the podi-um. Zeemac Vehicle Lease snagged the “best dressed” trophy with their inspired Alice in Wonderland theme. While the best financial institution hardware was taken home by G&F Financial Group, and the best automotive business went to Canadian Tire - South Burnaby.The local business community fielded 28 teams this year and managed to raise $16,000 to support the building of a permanent child care facility at Gilpin Elementary School in Burnaby.The South Burnaby Neighbourhood House is extremely grateful for the support of its corporate and business sponsors, plus all the individuals who contributed to the success of this event.

Delegates at the Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention passed a Burnaby-sponsored resolution calling on the federal government to allow continued public own-ership of water and sewer plants when dol-ing out infrastructure grants.

Ottawa requires big local projects in line for grants to fi rst go through a P3 assess-ment to see if money can be saved by build-ing them as public-private partnerships.

The issue has been hot in the Fraser Val-ley, where Mission and Abbotsford councils are split over whether a shared water supply expansion should be publicly or privately built. Abbotsford is now pursuing the P3 water project itself, over Mission’s objec-tions.

Metro Vancouver also faces decisions on the use of P3 partners as it plans to rebuild two major sewage treatment plants and add new waste-to-energy plants.

Public sector unions

had urged civic reps to take the anti-P3 stand.

Oil tanker concerns lodged

Cities are demand-ing close scrutiny of plans to pump more oil for export through the Lower Mainland.

Kinder Morgan wants to more than double the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline that sends oil sands crude from Alberta to its terminal in north Burnaby, where oil is loaded onto tankers that sail past downtown Van-couver.

An emergency resolution passed by UBCM delegates calls for the highest degree of environmental assessment and meaningful public consultation on any plans to ship more oil by pipeline or tanker in B.C.

About 70 double-hulled oil tankers a year are harnessed to tugs and steered by local pilots through Burrard Inlet.

Kinder Morgan is also able to send

oil from the pipeline south into Washington State at Sumas.

Metal, carbon and tanning

Delegates also reg-istered their concerns about wire theft, carbon offsets and the health risks of tanning beds.

The ongoing scourge of metal theft should be dealt with through consistent provincial rules to regulate metal

dealers, recyclers and pawnshops, according to a Langley Township resolution that passed without debate.

UBCM delegates also voted to call on the province to ban youths under 18 from using indoor tanning beds.

They also backed a call to have cities’ local emission reduction projects be counted as an acceptable purchase of carbon offsets.

The campaign to defeat B.C. Hydro’s rollout of wireless smart meters got a boost from mayors and councillors at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday.

Delegates voted 55 per cent to support a moratorium on the mandatory installation of smart meters until major issues can be resolved.

“There is an important ele-ment of personal choice,” Col-wood Coun. Judith Cullington said. “Some people are sensi-tive to this radiation and only a small amount affects them.”

She said city councils across the province have been deluged in email by people deeply concerned about the possible health impacts.

Some civic leaders who supported the call for a mora-torium said they don’t share fears about health risks but think other concerns deserve more attention, from the cost of the meter program to the potential to charge higher rates at peak times.

An initial show of hands was inconclusive so the fi nal vote was conducted electronically – using wireless voting devices.

No delegates spoke against the resolution.

Premier Christy Clark said the smart meter installations will continue, despite the UBCM resolution.

Hydro crews have already installed 100,000 smart meters across B.C. and that’s to rise to 250,000 by later this fall.

“I don’t share those health concerns,” Clark said Friday.

She said B.C. needs an effi -cient smart grid to save money on electricity delivery and foster economic growth.

Medical marijuana debated

Defenders of the right to grow pot under a medical mari-juana licence scored a small victory when they derailed a resolution that sought to require distribution be only through licensed commercial growers. Several Metro Van-couver cities want tighter rules to cut down on the number of grow-ops blamed for feeding organized crime and causing safety risks.

Donna Shugar, a Sunshine Coast Regional District direc-tor, said forcing users to buy through producers might leave the poor and disabled unable to affordably get medi-cal marijuana if they can no longer grow their own. She said concerns about safety could instead be dealt with by reducing the number of plants a licensed user can grow.

A Metchosin rep called mari-juana part of the fabric of B.C.

society and said the govern-ment should “stop pussyfooting around the issue” and simply decriminalize pot.

Others said the resolu-tion was redundant because Ottawa has already indicated its planned overhaul of the licensing system will phase out individual growing permits.

It’s the third straight year UBCM delegates have blocked resolutions demanding tighter restrictions on medical pot.

Call for casino rules overhaul

B.C. cities are demanding tougher scrutiny of gambling due to the infi ltration of casinos by organized crime.

Delegates at UBCM passed a resolution that argues the provincial Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General is in a confl ict of interest because it oversees both the B.C. Lot-tery Corp., which runs casino gambling, and the Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch that regulates it.

Separate ministries should oversee those functions, according to the resolution, which also calls for a review of public gambling to restore confi dence and a probe by the Auditor General into how charities benefi t.
