NV man dies
after crash

A NORTH Vancouver man is dead following a single motor vehicle
accident Tuesday in the 900-block East Keith Road.

Emergency personnei were called to the areca after a car left the
road at approximately 10:30 a.m. and flew 20 feet over an em-
bankment.

According to a North Vancouver RCMP spokesman, the North
Vancouver driver, 66-year-old Victor Vishniakeff, lost conscious-
ness while driving east on Keith. The victim, who died at Lions
Gate Hospital Wednesday, is believed to have suffered a stroke
while driving.

IRC rejects
bias charge

INDUSTRIAL Relations Council adjudications chairman Ken
Albertini has rejected charges of bias brought against two IRC
members following an Aug. 11 IRC ruling that allowed two North
Vancouver teachers to withdraw from their dues-paying member-
ship in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation because of their disagreement
on religious grounds with the BCTF’s pro-choice abortion policy.

In his decision released this week, Albertini ruled the charges of
bias brought against Heather McDonald, a member of the original
panel thai presented the Aug. 11 decision, and fain Benson, an IRC
legal advisor, were unfounded.

The bias charges, which maintained that McDonald and Benson
both held strong views on abortion similar to those held by the two
North Vancouver teachers, were brought before the IRC by the
North Vancouver Teachers’ Association, the B.C. Teachers’ Fed-
eration and the B.C. Federation of Labour.

In the Aug. 11 IRC decision, three council vice-chairmen voted
2-1 tu allow Justin and Nancy Wasilifsky, both of whom teach in
North Vancouver schools, to withdraw from the BCTF and the
North Vancouver Teachers’ Association because of profound
religious beliefs and opposition to the unions’ policy of reproduc-
tive freedom.

NORTH VANCOUVER City
Alderman Bill Bell has called for a
private audit to determine the cost
effectiveness, service improve-
ments and savings, if any, that
have resulted from the municipali-
ty’s privatization of its garbage
collection service.

Bell’s notice of motion, submit-
ted Monday night to council,
stated that garbage collection was
privatized in the city in 1983 ‘‘with
the promise of savings to taxpayers
and increased quality of service."’

But Bell said prior to submitting
his motion that there has yet to be
any external audit of the service
and added that he doubts whether
the city has reaped any savings
from the privatization of its gar-
bage collection even though the
municipality has lost an element of
control over that service and a
number of union jobs because of
It.

Nine full-time positions became
redundant when the city privatized
its garbage collection.

Laidlaw Waste Systems Ltd.
currently has the contract to pick
up garbage in the city.

City staff will report back to
council in approximately three
