Court rejects Province’s class size law as unconstitutional

The B.C. Supreme Court has 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 Monday, 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.”

The ruling strikes down the portions of the new legislation that have not already expired.

BCTF president Jim Iker said the ruling returns contract language that was in place in 2002, and he expects that the province’s 60 school districts will have to rehire teachers and special needs assistants to reduce class size.

He said there were 1,200 education specialists affected by the 2002 legislation, including teacher-librarians

and counsellors.

“It’s good for us, it’s good for public education, it’s good for British Columbia and for our students,” Iker said of Monday’s ruling.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he is “disappointed” by the ruling, and ministry staff will study it before deciding on a possible appeal.

Fassbender said he disagrees with the judge’s conclusion that the government tried to provoke a strike, and his focus is on reaching a new agreement.

“What we need to do is to review the judge’s ruling in detail to see what the implications are, but clearly my message to school districts, to parents, is it’s business as usual in our schools,” Fassbender said.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the ruling “real blow to the B.C. Liberals’ credibility,” adding it traces back to Premier Christy Clark’s time as education minister in 2002.

Happy Chinese New Year!

It is time to ring in the New Year - January 31 is the beginning of the Year of the Horse.

In Chinese culture, the New Year is a time for family celebrations. Fire as well as the colour red play an important role as it represents the force that can drive back evil. Chinese immigrants have brought their traditions to North America. Fascinated by the ornate and exotic styles and beautiful images, more and more people are looking at bringing a part of the culture into their world as well.

A big part of Chinese culture is the garden.

The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver is an authentic and stunning example and the first of its kind outside of China. It took 52 master craftsmen from China and their Canadian counterparts a year to build this garden, using time-honoured principles and techniques of the Ming Dynasty.

While you might not have the time or space to create a full-scale Chinese garden at your home, you can certainly take inspiration from the traditional design and bring a bit of exotic Chinese culture into your yard.

Traditional Chinese gardens are made for reflection and escape from the outside world.

They aim to create an idealized miniature landscape that shows the harmony that should exist between mankind and nature.

There are six elements in Chinese garden design. Architecture plays a major role in Chinese gardens with pavilions, gazebos, towers, bridges and more placed to offer spaces from which to get unique views of the garden. They are meant to never dominate a landscape, but always be in harmony with the other elements of the scene.

Artificial mountains or rock gardens are another essential element of the garden with mountain peaks being a symbol of virtue, stability and endurance. In smaller gardens, a single scholar rock can represent the mountains.

Ponds, lakes or other water features are almost always the central element of a Chinese garden. Water complements the mountain element and represents lightness and communication. There is usually a central structure for viewing the pond and often pond fish and water plants are added.

Trees and flowers are the fourth essential ingredient in the Chinese garden. Plants represent nature in its most vivid form, contrasting with the straight lines of the architecture as well as the immobility of the rocks. Each plant is carefully chosen for its own symbolic meaning and placed to maximize the impact it has in the landscape throughout all seasons.

The remaining two elements are more abstract, but to some Chinese garden designers the most important ones. “Borrowed scenery” is using scenes outside the garden, such as a view of distant mountains or the trees in the neighboring garden, to make the garden appear much bigger than it actually is. The seasons of the year and the time of day are also taken into account, looking at when a certain part of the garden presents itself to its fullest potential.

Building on that is also the element of concealment and surprise. A Chinese garden is not meant to be seen all at once, rather it is a series of carefully crafted scenes. Visitors move around with scenes unfolding at the last minute from behind a screen of plants or through an opening in a structure.

With these design guidelines in mind, you can have a fresh look at your yard and create a magical place with an exotic flavour. They even apply indoors where you can work with houseplants and miniature decorations to create whimsical scenes.

Till next time… Happy Year of the Horse!

The Cranbrook Skating Club is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2014 and we are having a celebratory Ice Show on Saturday, March 1st at Western Financial Place.

The theme of the show is “Celebrating the Decades” so costumes and music will be reminiscent of the past 60 years.

We are including several East Kootenay Skating Clubs in this Ice Show, plus we have special guest skaters from Calgary - Keelee Gingrich and Davin Portz, who were recently crowned the Novice Pairs Champions of Canada.

Over 150 members of the Cranbrook Skating Club, from our tiny tots to our Adults will be participating and we will be showcasing some of our very accomplished competitive skaters as well.

There is a rumour out there that perhaps a special performance by Ken Bridge may also be possible!

Show time of this family show is 7 p.m. and ticket prices are

very affordable - $10 for Adults (18 and over), $5 for Children (4 – 17 yrs), under 3 yrs free when accompanied by an Adult and a special family rate of $25. Advance ticket sales will be available (stay tuned for dates and location) as well as tickets available at the door.

The history of the Cranbrook Skating Club is also being documented thanks to Garry Anderson, and will be archived. We are hoping to see many faces of previous members of the Cranbrook Skating Club in the crowd. Over the past 60 years, there are upwards of 10,000 young people who have learned to skate with the Cranbrook Skating Club.

Please join us on March 1st for “Celebrating the Decades” and watching the Club’s future champions perform.

Ken Bridge roasted at event honouring Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year

Doing good things for your fellow citizens once in a while is something that comes naturally to most people.

Doing good things for

your community on a consistent basis is the criteria for becoming Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year—which was recently awarded to

Ken Bridge.

Throughout the years he has been in business with Bridge Interiors, Bridge has worked with

the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, the Children’s Christmas Party, the Cranbrook Dodge Charity

Golf Tournament and a host of other fundraisers. Never afraid to put some miles on for a good cause, he has also raised funds in the Walk for M.S., the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes and the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes fun-

draiser for the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre. He has also proven his courage to step into the ring, helping to raise more than $23,000 for good causes, along with boxing partner Steve Mercandelli of Cranbrook

Dodge, by taking a few lumps.

At an awards ceremony held at the Heritage Inn Ballroom on January 24, friends, family and business associates gathered to help him celebrate the honour.

Between the toasts and roasts, it became obvious that Bridge is one of those people that helps drive a community.

Mike Adams, the previous Chamber of Commerce president, summed up Bridge’s contribution to the city when he was first awarded the honour this past December.

“Ken’s involvement has supported nearly every charity event in this community and that means that he has assisted and touched people from all walks of life, people he doesn’t even know,” said Adams.

Congratulations to Ken Bridge for being Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year for 2013.

It is people like Bridge that make Cranbrook a community people want to live in.

Crash Reel, the story of Kevin Pearce, will be playing in Fernie on February 3.

Crash Reel is the dramatic story of one unforgettable athlete: Kevin Pearce; One eye popping sport: snowboarding. One explosive issue: Traumatic Brain Injury.

A comeback story with a difference. This beautifully shot documentary seamlessly combines twenty years of stunning action footage with new speciallyshot footage and interviews as it follows U.S. champion snowboarder Kevin Pearce, his rivalry with Shaun White and exposes the irresistible but potentially fatal appeal of extreme sports.

The Vogue Movie Theatre is hosting The

Crash Reel Monday, Febuary 3rd when the people of Fernie get the chance to watch the multi-award winning documentary which is being screened by Indie Films Fernie and in association with East Kootenay Brain Injuries Association.

Courtney Baker of The Arts Station said, “I am so excited to be involved in this screening. I have seen the film and it is amazing and truly inspiring. I urge everyone to come and see it. You don’t even have to be interested in snowboarding, as the movie is so much deeper and more engaging than just the sport. David, Kevin’s

brother is so moving when he tries to talk Kevin our of returning to riding following his head injury, “I just don’t want you to die” he says, and the tight –knit Pearce family, who have nursed him through his recovery and the audience need to grab their Kleenexes at this point.”

Rachel Cline, EKBIA Outreach Worker for the Elk Valley and one of the organizers said, “I am so excited to be part of the screening of this movie in Fernie, it is the perfect sportsmad town to host this movie. Head injuries affect 50,000 Canadians a year, prevention is the only cure for head

Monday, February 10th marks BC’s second Family Day. To celebrate, bring your family to Horseshoe Lake from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. for a day of Kootenay outdoor festivities. The Family Fishing Derby for Kids with Cancer is being held for its fifth year and is a local fundraiser to help families across the entire Kootenay area.

The main attraction is the ice fishing derby which has reeled in crowds of up to 1,500 to compete for the first prize fishing boat and trailer, generously donated by FabRite Services. There is also a 50/50 draw, door prizes, silent auction, and hot chili at the event. For the kids, there are toboggan races, ice bowling, snow painting, tug-owar, toboggan decorat-

ing, and hockey with the Kimberley Dynamiters.

New this year, there is also a supervised Morrison shooting gallery. Designed for the whole family, you can even bring your furry family members (on leash) to compete in the best dressed dog contest.

As a special bonus, for the fourth consecutive year, the Family Fishing Derby and Dacota Freight will be drawing the name of one child with cancer and their family to go to Disneyland with $1,000 spending money. All of the other funds raised are distributed as emergency aid.

In true Kootenay fashion, this event is about families helping families through outdoor fun.

Hugs: A big hug to Sue & Jen at Kimberley zumba for their great price, great moves and great fun!!

Hugs: I would like send hugs to the gentleman that stopped his truck in the middle of the home hardware parking lot and got out to help me load 20 kg deicer bags into my truck. Thanks for the help!

Slugs: To the people that dropped off their young, male, unneutered black cat in the Silver Spring Dr area.

Unfortunately I was unable to keep him as I have three indoor cats and one outdoor cat that he did not get along with. I tried privately to find a home for him and when I couldn’t I had to surrender him to the BC SPCA. I found out last week that they had euthanized him. I hope you are happy with the choice that you made for this wonderful cat!

Hugs: Sharon and Gary Marasco would like to extend a sincere thank-you to Greg Ross of the “Rocky Mountain Naturalists Club” for helping us rescue and return a GREBE {water foul} back to its natural habitat.. your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Hugs: Big Hugs to the East Kootenay Midwives. You gals made my experience with my pregnancy and delivery one to truly remember. A special thanks to Jane for helping me deliver my 4th baby in the most relaxing, stress free way possible and in the most unique way possible. I will never forget it. You gals are amazing!

Keep up the awesome work!

Hugs: To the great staff at Penningtons.

Had a super shopping experience therethe other weekend, the staff there are so kind and helpful!!

Hugs: To the Tamarack Medical Clinic staff who kindly help a lot of displaced patients who are now without a doctor.

Your empathy & kindness is greatly appreciated.

Hugs: A gigantic hug of epic proportion goes out to Donna T at Superstore for her kind act of helping a senior lady at the check out last Thursday. This senior had walked to Superstore with the help of a walker to do her weekly grocery shop. At the checkout, she realized her purchase was $40.00 but she only had $25.00 cash. She became flustered. Donna asked if she had her cheque book with her. Donna then wrote out her cheque, bagged her groceries, then put them on the walker. What a great act of kindness. I just hope there is a Donna around for me if I should need one in my senior life.

Hugs: First of all, a big hug to you for keeping our community informed of all the good things that happen here. Secondly, big, big hugs to the City of Cranbrook public works crew that came out on Saturday morning and saved my house from immense water damage when the water main in my back alley broke. Thank you to the young man who responded so quickly after my harried phone call to the Fire Department. He arrived within minutes and quickly proceeded to barricade the water that was pouring into my back yard (it was all under water). Within a half an hour, the pumper truck was there to pump the water out, then the back hoe, the city engineers and the crew, efficiently and without further ado, dug up the pipe, replaced it and all was well! Thank you, again for all that you do!

If you have a Hug or a Slug...we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at shannon@kootenayadvertiser.com with your short quips, compliments or complaints.

We will print the anonymous submissions for all to see. Be honest, but all we ask is you keep it tasteful. Hugs and Slugs will be printed as space allows, if we miss yours check back next week and you will be bumped to the start of the list. You can also drop by a written submission to our office at 1510 2nd Street N. or call Shannon at (250)489-3455 or 1-800-665-2382

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come with me.�

With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.

Forever remembered by husband Joe, Sons; Phillip (Chad), Garry (Lisa, Alex), Michael (Shauna, Erin, Nolan).

We will never forget your enchanting smile.

It is with deep sorrow that the family of Eva Whitnack announces her passing on January 22, 2014 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 84 years of age.

Eva was born to the late Einar and Mathilda Jordahl on August 23, 1929 and raised in Coronation, Alberta. Eva fell in love with the late Edward Lee Whitnack who was also raised in the Coronation area and they were married there on June 26th, 1947. They raised their family there and in 1970 Ed and Eva moved to Summerland. In 1981 Ed passed and Eva moved to Sylvan Lake until 1990 and then moved to Marysville.

Eva was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary in Coronation and Summerland, She enjoyed working and beautifying her yard and having family get togethers at every opportunity where she could show her loving and giving nature to all her family.

Eva is survived by her 4 children; daughters Carol Venables and Diana Carnahan of Marysville, sons Larry (Brenda) of St. Albert and Ken (Joanne) of Sooke, 8 grandchildren, Teena (Sonny) Montgomery, Cody Carnahan (Crystal), Robert Carnahan, Lee Whitnack (Judy), Tammy Whitnack, Clayton Whitnack, Jim Whitnack (Dajana), Kelly Whitnack (Sarah), 17 great grandchildren, 1 great great grandchild, sister Anna Carl of Red Deer and brother Ted (Donna) Jordahl of Castor, and lots and lots of wonderful nieces and nephews; as well as numerous other relatives and friends.

She was predeceased by her parents Einar and Mathilda Jordahl, husband Edward, 6 brothers Victor, Norman, Roy, Johnny, Tommy and Raymond, 3 sisters Dorothy, Helma Twila, and son-in-law Raymond Venables and other family members.

There will be a memorial luncheon for Eva in the spring as Mom would not like anyone driving in the winter.

Thanks to all nurses doctors, friends and especially the Home Care Nurses and all the wonderful ladies who helped Mom over the last few months.
