N. Shore schools open on day of protest

Only because of timing

It was school as usual on
the North Shore Thursday,
the day that 90,000 children
in . neighboring
municipalities had the day
off while their teachers were
on a protest in Vancouver.

About 3,500 teachers from
Vancouver, Coquitlam,
Langley and New West-
minster marched in the
downtown area to protest
the government's removal of
full indexing of teachers’
pensions and the _  in-
troduction of an eight per
cent ceiling.

However, teachers from
North and West Vancouver
were not involved in the
protests, although it was
simply because of reasons
involving timing.

North Van Teachers
Association president
Loretta Ceraldi explained
that each local was deciding
on its own action and that
the North Van local has no
meeting scheduled until
January I.

She emphasized that the
fact that North Van teachers
did not join in the Thusday
protests was not an in-
dication of lack of support
for their colleagues’ action.

And she added that
teachers in North Van
schools may well decide to
Stage a similar day of action
when they meet in January.

“We are very, very
supportive of having our
pensions indexed,” she said.

IN WEST VANCOUVER

Cops’ coffee break led to arrest

An early morning coffee
break by two West Van-
couver Police patrol officers
was responsible for a U.S.
citizen being arrested and
sent before immigration
authorities for a deportation
hearing.

The officers pulled in to
Denny's restaurant on the
300 block Marine Drive
Wednesday morning when
they noticed a car with
Nevada licence plates
parked there, with a man
asleep inside.

They ran a routine check
on the parked Oldsmobile

and within a
minutes the U,S._ police
information system had
reported back that the car
had been stolen in Las
Vegas.

The officers woke the man
in the car, finding $1,200 of
stolen stereo equipment in
the vehicle, and arrested
him.

But on contacting Las
Vegas Police to inform them
of the arrest, West Van
Police were later told the
owner of the stolen car and
stereo did not want to lay
charges, as he knew the man

West Van Teachers
Association president Patty
Boyle said the local had held
its membership meeting
before the action had been
suggested.

At that meeting, members
had agreed to participate in
the protest in Victoria and a
delegation of them were
present for the opening of
the legislature.

Members of the
delegation expressed their
concerns to West Van-Howe
Sound MLA Allan Williams
and Boyle said they received
a good response.

It was only at the time of
the Victoria protest, she
added, that Al Blakey an-
nounced plans for Thur-

who had been picked up.
The arrested man was
