at the college. In a joint CCFA-Capilano Col- lege board of directors press release, the two sides expressed satisfaction that the contract, which expires in 1989, settled the major issues of working conditions at the college. Both parties, the release stated, could now get on ‘with what they do best: provide quality instruction and operate the third largest, and possibly best, college in B.C.”’ Reporter The contract provides for short and long-term solutions to the issue of teacher work-load. In the short term, full-time in- structors have the option of teaching eight sections (or courses) annually at a reduced salary rate instead of nine courses at full sala- ry. 20-year absence RODGERS CREEK SALMON RETURN A SALMON enhancement project combining the efforts of West Vancouver secondary students and the expertise of Fisheries and Oceans Canada has brought salmon back to a West Vancouver creek for the first time in 20 years. Begun five years ago, West Vancouver School District 45’s Sentinel Work .Activity Program (SWAP) has organized the con- struction of salmon incubator boxes on West Vancouver’s Rodgers and Nelson crecks. Ray Scullard, the teacher in charge of SWAP, said close 10 200,000 coho and chum eggs have been hatched in the two creeks over the past five years. For the first year, fish have been found in the upper waters of Rodgers Creek. Scullard said that about 200 fish had returned to spawn in Rodgers Creek last year but had been un- able to swim past fast-moving waters in a creek culvert. Six weeks ago SWAP, which in- volves about 20 students from Grades 9 through 12, built a fish ladder around the Rodgers Creek culvert. Fisheries and Oceans Salmonid By TIMOTHY RE News Reporter Enhancement Program community advisor Gary Taccogna said about 20 fish have since been found in the creek’s upper waters. Salmon spawning habitat on Rodgers Creck following installa- tion of the fish ladder has conse- quently been increased to about a quarter mile compared with only 200 feet before its installation, Taccogna said. He added that in addition to Nelson and Rodgers, work was also being done by SWAP to restore salmon to Eagle Harbor Creek. District 45 provided SWAP with interim financing for construction of the fish ladder, which cost about $1,000. Money for the fish ladder was eventually provided by West Van- couver's Coho Festival Society. fn the long-term, the contract calls for a task force to develop a new work-load formula at the col- lege by 1988. The formula will be subject to binding arbitration. The contract, which was ratified by the college board Nov. 13, will provide for base teacher salary in- creases of 3.25 per cent in 1986-87 and three per cent in each of the two subsequent school years. Base teacher salaries at the col- lege have not been increased since April i, $983. In a Nov. 14 News. story, Capilano College president Dr. Douglas Jardine said the settle- ment would cost the coliege 3 - Friday, November 21, 1986 - North Shore News COLLEGE FACULTY AGREES TO SETTLEMENT Capilano contract ratified THE 270-MEMBER Capilano College Faculty Association (CCFA) voted 85 per cent Tuesday afternoon in favor of tatifying details of the contract that ended the recent strike $860,000 over three years, but ad- ded that the total was no more than what had been budgeted for by the board in its offer to the CCFA prior to the strike. Top teacher salary in the first year of the new contract will be in- creased from its present $41,408 to $44,406 for instructors teaching nine courses. The increase includes an additional four per cent for top salary nine-section instructors. Their ecight-section counterparts will be paid $3,000 less — 341,406. In Uke contract’s second year, top full-time salary will be $45,500, which includes the addi- tion of another step to the teach- ers’ current 13-step salary grid. Eight-section teachers will be paid $41,750. In 1988-89, the top teacher sala- ty will be $46,536. Eight-section teachers will be paid $42,000. Over the five years covered by the contract (the teachers have been without a contract since 1984), overall basic teacher salary will be increased by 9.4 per cent and top teacher salary will be in- creased by 12.4 per cent. About 125 of the college’s 270 full and part-time instructors could qualify for the top pay rate. Teachers went on strike Oct. 28 over the issue of increased work- load at the college. The strike ended Nov. 12. ii Ketield HARD WORK has paid off for Ray Scullard from the Salmonid Enhancement Program in West Vancouver. Salmon have been spotted in Rodgers Creek - the first time the fish have been sighted there in 20 years. Technical expertise and advice were provided by Taccogna. Scullard said SWAP has_ in- vested about $2,500 in its salmon enhancement project over the past five years. Thus far Nelson Creck has had no salmon returns, but Taccogna said none were expected until the fall of 1987. He estimated that Rodgers Creek could support several hun- dred coho and chum salmon on a regular basis. Lanskail campaign chair denies high election spending charge “Prices have gone up. It costs nearly $3,000 to send out a mail- ing, and the use of the media is getting more and more expensive,”’ es: WEST VANCOUVER mayor-elect Don Lanskail...campaign — chair- man says exorbitant election spen- ding is a rumor. CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN for West Vancouver mayor- elect Don Lanskail said rumors of exorbitant spending in Lanskail’s election bid are just that — rumors. Denis Tuck said expenditures were higher this year than in the previous mayoral campaign, but blamed it on the cost of inflation. Tuck, who worked on all of Lanskail’s aldermanic campaigns over 20 years, described the mayor-elect’s resent campaign as his finest. Lanskail trounced mayoral in- cumbent Derrick Humphreys by a margin of nearly three to one Nov. 15. “The six figures (rumored to be spent in Lanskail’s campaign) are just not trug...it’s way out of line’ said Tuck, who declined to give overall election costs. eM. Lanskail insisted no one give the campaizn more than $500, and se been led to believe the 200 Sews Reporter people who donated were all local citizens — there were no corporate donations.” Tuck said there were very few maximum donations. Instead, he said most donations were between $50 and $100. -That’s where you want to have (donations. As the old CCP slogan goes ‘the nickies and dimes are the workers’. Thes’l] want to protect their investment so ches"l get out and vote,”* he said. Tuck said expenditures were carefully accounted for, and he noted campaigns are getting more expensive LO Tun, he said. Tuck estimates about $10,000 was spent on mailings, between $3,000 and $4,G00 for newspaper advertisements, and between $1,500 and $2,000 for election signs. “We haven't got a local radio station or billboards, and that’s where your money could go,” said Tuck. Outgoing Mayor Derrick Hum- phreys refused to comment on his campaign expenditures. Tuck said support to Lanskail came from all political stripes. “We had just as many Tories, Socreds as other parties working on the campaign. We even had fi- nancial support from Socialists. This was the best campaign Eve been involved with,” he said.
