One of the better ways to warm up the winter is to take in a wedding and bridal fair, such as held at St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino on Sunday, Feb. 2. Close to 40 vendors were on hand, ranging from photography, fashion and venues to flowers, hair and make-up. Of course, the centrepiece of such an event is the fashion show, presented by eight models displaying fashions courtesy of Tara’s Boutique.
Ruling will mean smaller class sizes, teachers say B.C. Government announces it will appeal last week’s B.C. Supreme Court order to return to 2002 classroom rules ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
On the day the B.C. government annouced they would appeal last week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling in favour of the British Columbia Teachers’ Union (BCTF), the local union president took some time to talk to the Townsman about what the ruling means for teachers. The January 27 decision rejects legislation restricting teacher bargaining and assesses a penalty of $2 million plus court costs. Shelley Balfour, BCTF Local 02 president, said the ruling brings back the class size and composition levels stripped from collective bargaining back in 2002.
“It is important to note that, during the bargaining process leading up to this, teachers across B.C. had agreed to give up wage increases in order to ensure that class size and composition provisions would be addressed in legally binding contracts with government,” Balfour said. So what can parents expect from the changes? “According to the restored language, there should on average be two fewer children in most elementary classes,” she said. “High school shop and science class sizes will also need to be reduced to meet space and equipment considerations having to do with student safety and instruction.”
Staff such as librarians and counsellors will also have their teacher-to-student ratios reduced. “In each of these cases this means students will receive more individual teacher support.” She added that legally signed contracts were not adhered to and lead to the BCTF challenge in the first place. “To discover that court documents show government was attempting to provoke a teachers strike during ‘negotiations’ a decade later simply adds insult to injury and should appall parents throughout the province.”

Fate of Marysville arena up in the air
Petition calls for continued operation; Kimberley Council to decide fate next Tuesday C A RO LYN GR AN T
Kimberley Minor Hockey is circulating a petition in Kimberley in regards to the future of the Marysville Arena. The petition states, “It has come to the attention of the Kimberley Minor Hockey executive that the City of Kimberley is looking at shutting down the Marysville Arena for good. We, Kimberley Minor Hockey, are only one user group of this arena and need the full functioning of both Civic and Marysville arenas to provide the sport to all kids in Kimberley. “Shutting down the Marysville Arena will affect all users of both arenas and will likely eliminate some user groups from getting their ice
times or creating longer running hours thus creating extremely late ice hours for some user groups. “Please sign the petition in support of keeping the Marysville Arena in operation for all user groups to enjoy.” Mayor Ron McRae has confirmed that the Marysville Arena question will be on the agenda at the regular council meeting next Tuesday, February 11 and Council will make a decision as to whether to continue to operate it or not. McRae makes no secret of his feelings on the matter — he believes the City should continue to operate the arena.

Staff of Taylor Adams Chartered Professional Accountants join the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo organizing committee to celebrate a sponsorship deal between the two, at the offices of Taylor Adams in Cranbrook on Tuesday, Feb. 4. from three course lengths: the Piccolo is 57 kilometres long; the Medio is 102 kilometres; and the Gran is 152 kilometres. The ride will begin at 9 a.m., with the cyclists returning to St. Eugene by the late afternoon for a post-ride meal at the resort. The Gran Fondo will pass by spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery as cyclists complete
the route at their own pace. More than 500 participants are expected to register, with many travelling from across Canada and the U.S. Supporting the cyclists will be more than 100 volunteers and five different community service groups. The event will not only bring tourism to the area, but funds raised will support the
North Star Rails to Trails. “Funds raised by the event will be used to enhance and maintain the North Star Rails to Trails system, as well as support other local community service projects,” said Glenn Dobie, chairman of the organizing committee. “With these goals in mind, we are delighted to have Taylor Adams as a partner who values
community service as much as we do. “We also hope the Gran Fondo will encourage healthier lifestyles, support our local businesses, and enhance tourism by showcasing the beauty of the Kootenay Rockies to our visitors.” For more information or to register for the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, visit www.krgf. ca.

Crime down in Cranbrook, RCMP says Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook RCMP released the fourth quarter of 2013 numbers and Cpl. Barry Graham was on hand at Monday night’s council meeting to answer any questions. Graham said the numbers show a drop in almost every category except break and enters, but he said that it is a small statistical sample for the quarter. “It’s only up three, from 11 to 14, and you can factor in the home invasions that were successfully investigated over that quarter that factor into that as well,” Graham said. “Overall for the year, we’re down 49 per cent.” The drug stats also dropped, which he said
was not a reflection of a lack of success by the drug unit that have been working for the last year and a half, but rather a result of longer, more substantial investigations. “That’s progressing very well and has had a great impact, especially on property crime in the area,” he said. The other change Graham spoke to was impaired driving, which was down 20 per cent over the quarter and 11 per cent over the year. He said it could be a reflection of community awareness and less people drinking and driving. “The other thing that could factor into it is the success of the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program,” he said.
“It’s quick 90 day suspensions, there is less time with the criminal court systems.” The roadside prohibitions have gone up to 41 in 2013, from 26 in 2012, a 58 per cent increase. Traffic tickets issued dropped to 114 in 2013, from 142 in 2012, a 20 per cent change. Coun. Gerry Warner asked whether the force has been given direction from Ottawa in terms of enforcing the new medical marijuana grow operation legislation. “If you go there, do they have to produce some sort of paper saying that they are allowed to do this, a licence or something?” he asked. Graham said there have been a number of bulletins sent to them,
Fate of arena in the air Continued from page 1
“I truly believe it is an important part of the recreation infrastructure of this community. Yes, we do have two arenas, but what’s so bad about that? It’s something we should be proud of — that we are so supportive of recreation,” said McRae. “Just like any other community, recreation facilities operate on tax payer dollars. There are very few communities that operate these facilities on a break-even basis. It is part of the taxation structure to provide recreation facilities.” The fate of the arena has been looming on the horizon for quite some time, since City
Council was notified that the ice plant had to be replaced. The City managed to get a variance from the Boiler Inspector for this year but will not get another. Council voted last year to spend $188,000 to erect the building to house the new ice plant. The arena needs a new ice plant at a cost of about $350,000 and the City was not successful in its grant applications. McRae says $260,000 of that would come from general capital and the other $90,000 out of the gas tax. “I think we should spend the money and look for opportunities going forward to increase revenues and ef-
ficiencies,” he said. The Marysville arena costs $183,252 per year to operate and brings in $60,257 in revenue. The Civic Centre costs $395,058 to operate and brings in $105,320. The Marysville arena actually has a better cost recovery percentage at 32.81, than the Civic Centre’s, which is 26.66 per cent. McRae says he realizes the issue has definitely caught people’s attention. “We’ve had a number of emails flowing into City Hall — all of them in favour of keeping it open. I fully expect to see at least the Minor Hockey people in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting.”
Brody earns Juno nomination Barry Coulter
Jaffray’s Dean Brody is adding to his accolades. On Tuesday, Feb. 4, it was announced the country music star has earned his third Juno Award nomination for Country Album of the Year. Brody’s fourth album “Crop Circles” was released in November of last year. And Brody is following it up with his cross-Canada “Crop
Dean Brody Circles and Tractor Beams” arena tour, which will touch down in Cranbrook on Feb. 18 at Western Financial Place. The nominations for
the 2014 Juno Awards were announced Tuesday, and the event (to be broadcast on CTV) will be held on March 30 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Also nominated were the Toronto country band the Small Town Pistols (formerly the Wilkinsons), who served as opening act for Brody on his most recent Cranbrook concert in April of 2013.
but he hadn’t sat down and read it all yet. He said he would return to a future meeting to talk more in depth about it. Coun. Sharon Cross was happy to see that there was an overall reduction in crime.
“We’ve had a number of serious crimes in the past year and in my 16 years of service I haven’t seen the success rate that we’ve seen here for a lot of files,” Graham said, adding that from what he’d seen the most expensive investigations
were being solved. Graham also credited the prolific offenders enforcement. “We’re getting better at identifying the issues, the disease I suppose, as opposed to the symptoms,” he said. “We focus on not
only enforcement with the offender, but also looking at what’s driving people to do what they are doing, whether it’s drug, mental health or substance abuse problems. That’s becoming bigger in Cranbrook as well.”
Pedestrian hit on crosswalk Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
A pedestrian on a marked crosswalk was struck by a vehicle in Cranbrook on Tuesday, Feb. 4. According to RCMP, the female pedestrian was crossing 2nd Street North outside Western Financial Place at about 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday when a westbound
vehicle collided with her. Passersby stopped to help the woman, who police said was responsive throughout the incident. She was taken to East Kootenay Regional Hospital and released the same day. RCMP said the motorist was issued a traffic ticket “after examination of the scene and corrobo-
rating information from witnesses”. “Cranbrook RCMP remind the general public to be cautious approaching all marked crosswalks and intersections, especially when the crosswalk view may be obstructed by other vehicular traffic,” said Cpl. Barry Graham.

Continued from page 1 The B.C. Supreme Court ruling rejected the provincial government’s effort to keep class size and special needs support off the bargaining table with teachers, and ordered the government to pay $2 million in damages to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. In a ruling released last week, Justice Susan Griffin said the B.C. government’s replacement legislation, passed in 2011, is as unconstitutional as the 2002 law called Bill 28 that removed class size and special needs support
from union working conditions. “The court concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision,” Griffin wrote. “One of the problems was that the government representatives were preoccupied with another strategy. Their strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing
legislation on the union.” Balfour said that despite severe budgetary constraints School District 5 has done what it could to minimize the impact of stripped class size and composition provisions on students and attempted to address these constraints within existing language. “Unfortunately, repeated government disdain for legally bargained agreements has resulted in significantly reduced educational services to children, not only in the East Kootenay but throughout Brit-

ish Columbia. These reductions have been the norm for the past 12 years,” Balfour said. However, the B.C. government will appeal a B.C. Supreme Court ruling ordering a return to 2002 classroom rules, Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced Tuesday. Fassbender said the latest ruling could potentially cost the B.C. government more than $1 billion, which he called “completely unaffordable for taxpayers.” But the appeal will focus
on Justice Susan Griffin’s interpretation of constitutional rights in union negotiations. “Governments have to be able to govern,” Fassbender said, adding that no other province has has such restrictions on school organization. “Most importantly, if the real goal is to benefit students, decades of academic research has shown that blankest reductions in class size are of little benefit,” he said.

Senate needs an official opposition MP David Wilks comments on Justin Trudeau’s turfing of Liberal senators from caucus Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
Kootenay-Columbia Member of Parliament David Wilks said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s decision to remove senators from the Liberal caucus was not something he considered to be well thought out. “I don’t know if I would have done it that way,” Wilks said. “It’s up to him to do it that way. The problem is that it’s somewhat of an issue in the Senate, because the Senate needs to have an official opposition.” Wilks said it has resulted in the expelled Liberal senators forming a Liberal independent caucus. “They are still all card carrying Liberals,” he said. “Some of them are not happy with what Mr. Trudeau did, but there needs to be an opposition in the Senate.” Wilks said it doesn’t change the dynamic of the Senate. “Although there will be some Liberals that will stay independents, the majority of them will form an opposition caucus which will be all Liberals,” he said. “Basically all that happened was that they were expelled from the Liberal caucus that also
includes the Members of Parliament. In essence they’ll sit separately as caucuses. “The danger, if I was looking at it from the Liberal perspective, is that a lot of the senators have been around for a long, long time. Some have been there 30-plus years. They have been extremely loyal to the Liberal party and if they are slighted in any way, there is the potential that they may not be as willing to help, say in the 2015 election — you don’t know.” He said while those senators are probably still Liberals, some of them may not have the ambitions that they did in fundraising in the last election. But he added that the largest issue is that there needs to be an opposition in the Senate, so something has to happen. Wilks said otherwise parliament has been quiet in the first couple of weeks, other than the debate over closing various Veterans Affairs offices across the country and assimilating them into Service Canada locations. “Other than that, we’ve just been dealing with some minor things day by day,” he said.

Babbling on, in the Tower of Babel “Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
It
all began in the war, I reckon, when my father was transferred to the Ministry of Food and the whole kit and caboodle was moved to Wales, out of harm’s way. I found myself in school with kids that didn’t speak the way I did in London. There were Welsh voices, plus a whole mixture of Liverpool and Manchester accents out there. In fact, as I learned new words, I learned them with an accent unlike those of my parents. In fact, even now when I recite certain poems, I do so with a Welsh lilt to my voice. Then I was hauled off into the R.A.F. where there was a veritable Tower of Babel. Accent-wise, I didn’t know if I was ‘cooming or going’. De-mobbed and back in London I encountered a group of fellow mountaineering nut-cases, whose accents came from far and wide, and from whom I acquired a taste for French songs, sung lustily in pubs across the country. When, finally, I attended university and studied French, my professor threw up his hands at my pronunciation because, during the summer vacations, I travelled to the Alps and the Pyrenees, where I ac-
quired very regional slang. I recall having a chat with a shepherd on the remote, Spanish side of the Pyrenees, but that wasn’t in French at all. I was using my Spanish acquired from American cowboy movies and, I am almost sure, the shepherd was a Basque. But we got on well. My wife was also a Londoner but she had not moved away during “hostilities” so, when we conversed, we often pronounced words differently but progressed Peter happily when we travelled Warland abroad. She knew a little German and I a minimum of French, so we tackled the locals in our versions of their languages, much to their confusion. I recall spending a good half hour in a shop in France as we attempted to buy a package of oatmeal and even longer in Switzerland trying to switch from French to German in order to buy honey, which, after a lot of confusion and amateur acting, turned out to be ‘honig’. In fact, I am convinced that there still are people in various countries who are still standing there bemused, attempting to work out what we had said to them, especially in the souks of Morocco and in the Vatican. I loved travelling in Central America where I attempted to learn Spanish. I’d often use French with what I thought was a Spanish twist plus a touch of almost to-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
tally forgotten Latin grammar and this really confused the long-suffering natives. I recall the bemused look on the face of that little girl in the grocery shop when I asked her for half a dozen ‘eyes’ instead of eggs, and the astonished glares from the group of French Canadians when I addressed them mistakenly in my version of Spanish. The trick of speaking to foreigners when you don’t know their language at all well is to always be the questioner. Elicit a yes or no answer and go on from there. Don’t let them start on something; you’ll be lost forever. My friend Paul tells me that, whilst hitch-hiking in Italy, he was given a ride by a local. Unfortunately, after several tries, the two men found that they had no common language between them until they discovered that they had both been subjected to Latin in school. They conversed that way. Carpe diem. My beloved and I both had a great deal of fun using our poorly-learned European French on victims in New Brunswick and Quebec, some of whom actually seemed to understand us although we never fully comprehended the replies. I still keep working on it. Mind you, even though we have been “back east” a few times, I still cannot pronounce Toronto properly; this is probably true due to the fact that I have had the very good fortune never to have been forced to live there.

Ice cut into Blades for 6-3 win TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Saskatoon Blades had no answer for the top line of the Kootenay Ice on Tuesday night. Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau and Zach Franko put their stamp on the scoresheet, sharing 16 points between themselves in a 6-3 win over their struggling opponents out of the East Division. Descheneau led the way with his third career hat trick and three assists, while Franko scored a pair of goals and tallied three assists. The Kootenay Ice captain opened the scoring with his lone goal, but picked up four apples over the course of the game. Despite the numbers and the end result, Descheneau said the team needs to be better. “Today, I found that we actually didn’t play a very good game,” he said. “Luckily, for our line, things were going in and that doesn’t happen every night, but it happened tonight and it was good for us.” Ice goaltender

Kootenay Ice sniper Jaedon Descheneau celebrates one of his three goals during a 6-3 win over the Saskatoon Blades on Tuesday night. Mackenzie Skapski made 28 saves to pick up his 18th win of the season, while Troy Trombley was hung out to dry by Saskatoon, making 33 stops in defeat. Before the first 10 minutes were up, the Ice had a 3-0 lead. Reinhart tallied first, putting a shot on net that beat Trombley, and Descheneau doubled the lead just over
two minutes later, finishing on a tic-tac-toe passing play between Reinhart and Franko. However, some defensive zone breakdowns led to a pair of quick goals from Cory Millette and Mitch Lipon to put the Blades within a goal by the end of the frame. “It’s huge, not just tonight, but any night, to get a lead and push from there,” said De-
scheneau. “I found we got the lead and let off a bit and we have to eliminate those lapses from our game and we should be fine.” The top line produced another slick passing play early in the second period, with Franko being on the receiving end to pick up his 16th goal of the season. Descheneau completed his hat trick a
few minutes later, tapping in a pass from Reinhart after the Ice captain drew Trombley out of position at the side of the net. Cameron Hebig attempted to spark a comeback for Saskatoon in the final frame with an early powerplay goal, but Kootenay was able to hold the Blades at bay, with Franko adding an empty net marker for good measure in the final minute. “It was a pretty good night for us three,” said Franko. “Anytime we can contribute like that, it’s pretty special and we’re just helping the team win any way we can.” Kootenay will get back at it on the weekend with a home-andhome series with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. NOTES: Ryan Chynoweth (upper body) and Kyle O’Connor (lower body) were scratched. Saskatoon was missing the services of Nikita Scherbak (upper body), who has attracted a lot of attention from NHL scouts this year.

Flu doesn’t slow down teams at Scotties tournament
MONTREAL - A flu bug rampaging through the Scotties Tournament of Hearts did nothing to slow down Saskatchewan’s Stefanie Lawton or a British Columbia squad that was missing its skip. Lawton’s rink (4-1), with second Sherri Singler and third Sherry Anderson out sick, had only three players on the ice but still posted an 8-4 victory over Quebec’s Allison Ross (1-5) on Tuesday morning at Maurice Richard Arena. Kesa Van Osch pulled out just before her match, but alternate Patti Knezevic stepped in as skip to lead B.C. (3-3) to a 7-3 win over Ontario’s Allison Flaxey (1-4). Canada improved to 5-0 as Rachel Homan’s Ottawa rink downed Alberta’s Val Sweeting (4-2) by 10-5 and Manitoba’s Chelsea Carey (4-1) put up a 5-3 win over Newfoundland’s Heather Strong (4-2). The illness that put six players and some tournament officials out of action has generally lasted 24 hours or less. Most sick players were expected back Wednesday or even for draws later Tuesday. Lawton got an early morning call from coach Rich Folk to say that Singler couldn’t play, and later learned that Anderson was down as well. “You plan for the worst, but this scenario of having two players out didn’t come up, so we just had to go with it,” said Lawton. “The girls jumped right in and felt comfortable with the positions they were thrown into.” Canadian Press

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 69 years old, and my lovely lady friend is 65. We’ve only been dating for seven months, but I love her very much. However, a few things about her drive me up the wall. We live apart, and that is fine -- she stays with me for a week and then goes home for a week. Here’s the problem. She is an impulsive shopper. She never leaves a store without picking up something, even though she doesn’t need it. Secondly, she is a terrible procrastinator, changing our meeting times constantly. Finally, and worst of all, she is a huge risk taker. She tries to impress everyone and acts as if she is still in her 30s. Recently, in the middle of a freezing snowstorm, she told me she was going to the gym. I said, “Are you nuts?” Her comment was, “I am a good driver and know how to handle the snow.” A few months ago, we were at the ocean, and she decided to see how far out she could swim. The lifeguard finally had to whistle her to come back in. She told him, “I know what I am doing.” She once tried to hand-feed a raccoon. She now wants to try skydiving and zip lining. I reminded her that she is 65 and needs to be a little more careful. But she gets mad at me when I say things like that, commenting that she’s been doing these kinds of crazy things all her life. I am really afraid that one day her luck is going to run out. How do I address this situation without upsetting her? Or am I being overly protective? -- Worried Dear Worried: Please do not assume that age is a factor. Plenty of 65-year-olds are perfectly healthy and extremely active. Unless your friend has a physical condition that limits her zip lining and skydiving, don’t upset yourself over it. Hand-feeding a raccoon is simply idiotic, however, and some of her behavior indicates that she lacks sound judgment. If that’s a recent development, she should see her doctor. Otherwise, we suggest you stop reminding her how old she is. She seems sensitive about it and is likely to overcompensate. Dear Annie: I am a caregiver for my husband, who was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia three years ago. Before that time, I had never heard of Lewy body dementia, nor did I know that there are actually four distinct dementia classifications: Alzheimer’s, Lewy body, frontal lobe and vascular. At this time, there are 1.3 million Americans who have been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, which is the second most common progressive dementia and is believed to be under-diagnosed. These individuals are drug sensitive, and the incorrect drugs can cause full-blown dementia. Anybody who shows signs of dementia should see their primary care physician and request a referral to a neurologist for proper diagnostic testing -- the sooner, the better. -Trinidad, Calif. Dear Trinidad: Thank you for calling this to our attention. Aside from the familiar cognitive symptoms of dementia (which are also common to Alzheimer’s), Lewy’s includes visual hallucinations, as well as movement disorders that may be related to Parkinson’s. The earlier it is diagnosed the sooner treatment can begin. Those who wish to know more about Lewy body dementia can contact lbda.org. Dear Annie: After reading “North Carolina” and “Less Generous,” I realized that we have become too busy to say thank you. Children raised by loving, considerate parents have no time for them; grandchildren don’t visit grandparents or acknowledge gifts. I fear that decency and values are slowly leaving the younger generations. If changes aren’t made, it will be a sad world to live in. The future is up to them. May those who still possess good manners be a significant influence on their peers to prompt change. -- Parent in Conn.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness.
