Appeal court stays schools reorganization order

By Tom Fletcher The B.C. Court of Appeal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.’s school districts to reorganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the government in 2002.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation allows stability for parents and students while Rocky Mountain

negotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues.

The decision provides a “stable environment” for the 60 school districts to prepare for next September under existing arrangements, he said.

“We need to now get back to the table and see if we can find that sweet spot between both parties where we have a negotiated settlement,” Fassbender said.

Those negotiations, to replace an imposed

www.kootenayadvertiser.com A3 contract that expired last June, are scheduled to continue next week as BCTF members take a strike vote.

The appeal court decision, released Wednesday, allows the government to pursue its appeal of a January ruling that it argued would cause major disruption to schools, which will likely take several months.

In January, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin found for a second time that B.C. legislation imposing contract terms violated teachers’ right to collecsee Appeal page 4

Denise's Weekly Features NATURAL FACTORS NIACIN Since the 1950s, Niacin (vitamin B3) has been known to lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In fact, in numerous clinical studies Niacin has demonstrated better overall results in reducing risk factors for coronary heart disease than other cholesterol-lowering agents, including statin drugs.

Many people are reluctant to use Niacin because at the dosing levels recommended to lower cholesterol, it causes a hot, itchy skin reaction known as the “Niacin flush”. Niacin has been shown to lower the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol as well as the levels of the more harmful Lp(a) lipoprotein, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, etc.) while simultaneously raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Niacin reduces LDL cholesterol by restricting the liver’s production of VLDL, a precursor to LDL cholesterol, while increasing the particle size of LDL cholesterol from the smaller, more dangerous dense form, to a larger more innocuous form that is less associated with coronary artery disease. This form of Niacin is a cutting edge intermediate release FLUSH FREE Niacin which gradually releases Niacin over a 6–8 hour period and rivals prescription drugs for lowering LDL cholesterol.

SISU ESTER-C Sisu Ester-C is an extra-strength Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, to get you through cold and flu season, and the allergy months. Vitamin C is best known for strengthening the immune system. Studies have shown that 5000mg of Vitamin C can double the rate of key activities of white blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system. Ester-C is made from calcium ascorbate formulated through a patented process so that it neutralizes intestinal acids and can therefore be absorbed without discomfort. It also contains a form of calcium, which enhances absorption.

The use of Quercetin (a bioflavonoid) in Ester-C 1000, makes this the ideal immune support for individuals who cannot tolerate citrus.

Mistletoe for cancer

Cancer patients in Canada, and around the world, are increasingly looking toward complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to treat their cancer. This is particularly true in Germany where as many as 73% of cancer patients use a natural medicine called mistletoe. In Europe, mistletoe is packaged as a drinkable and injectable ampoule called Helixor (Viscosan in Canada). Mistletoe is a plant that grows only on other trees, producing white berries. It has no roots and survives by living off the host tree it is growing on, a similar pattern to cancer. It was first investigated as a potential cancer treatment for this similarity with cancer growth. Mistletoe has over 1000 active ingredients with its tumour inhibiting and immune system effects mostly coming from a protein called a lectin. It can be used as a palliative therapy where the tumor is inoperable and untreatable to improve the quality of life and increase sur-

vival. Mistletoe is also proven as an additive therapy to be used with chemotherapy and radiation to help the patient tolerate these therapies and protect the immune system. It can also be used as a prophylactic therapy on defined precancerous tumours to stimulate involution of the tumour. The scientific evidence for the use of mistletoe is very strong. Five different retrospective studies showed that mistletoe significantly increased 5 and 10 year survival rates. Mistletoe also improves the quality of life, giving patients more energy and well-being while also reducing adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

Two studies have found that mistletoe can reduce tumour size if the cancer is caught early. The type of mistletoe used depends on the type of cancer and health of the patient. In all cases it can be taken orally or, better yet, by subcutaneous injection. It is a safe and proven effective medicine for the person seeking CAM for cancer.

tive bargaining.

In his decision, Justice David Harris agreed with submissions from district superintendents around the province.

“The evidence demonstrates that the immediate reinsertion of the deleted terms into the

collective agreement will probably lead to a dislocation of current planning and budgeting or the next school year, immense challenges in hiring sufficient suitably qualified staff, lay-offs of employees, change to available school programs, cancelling school programs, creating more classes, moving students to other schools, disrupting programs for special needs students, the provision of additional classroom space (likely through the addition of portables where space permits), and the breaking of contracts with community groups who use school space for their activities as school districts reclaim the needed space to accommodate additional classes,” Harris wrote.

BCTF lawyers had argued that the 2002 rules could have been reinstated in time for the September 2014 school year. Harris said it would be unlikely the appeal of constitutional arguments would be complete by then, and if it is successful, the school system would have to be made over again.

Cities co-host Mayor’s Caucus

The cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley are co-hosting the 5th BC Mayors’ Caucus in April.

(Above) Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski, who is on the BC Mayors’ Caucus Steering Committee.

Submitted The diverse and pressing challenges faced by local governments in 2014 are shared issues that require careful contemplation and collective solutions. To facilitate this dialogue, the cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley are cohosting the 5th BC Mayors’ Caucus on April 23-25, where mayors from throughout the province will come together to serve as a united voice, confronting issues affecting BC communities.

The Caucus has been held twice a year since its inception in 2012, each time in a different city to showcase the unique areas of the province.

“The City of

Cranbrook is very excited to be co-hosting the spring 2014 BC Mayors’ Caucus with our neighbours in Kimberley,” says Cranbrook Mayor, Wayne Stetski. “This collaboration mirrors the Caucus’ goal of pursuing joint economic development between cities in our province, and we are proud to help further encourage that dialogue.”

Cranbrook is the largest city in the East Kootenay region, with a population of almost 20,000. Functioning as the area’s business hub, Cranbrook’s economy thrives on its role as the regional service centre; its contributions to the forestry, agricultural, and other

resource-based sectors; and its attraction to visitors and tourists.

Just up the road from Cranbrook is the City of Kimberley – a former mining community that has transitioned into a tourist destination and resort town.

Kimberley is the fastest growing city in the East Kootenay region with a population increase of 8.4% from 2006-2011, the result of an increasing number of lifestyle-driven mobile workers who recognize Kimberley as a good place to be.

“The Mayors’ Caucus is a very important event in the progression of our province, and Kimberley is proud to be co-hosting this fifth session,” says Kimberley Mayor, Ron McRae. “By discussing common issues facing municipalities in British Columbia, we will be able to explore possible solutions and forge action plans that will strengthen our province in its entirety.”

The BC Mayors’ Caucus is structured after successful models across North America and Europe including the Alberta Mayors’ Caucus, the Big Cities Mayors’ Caucus (Canada), Atlantic Mayors’ Congress (Canada), Metropolitan Mayors’ Caucus (United States) and the Summit of Mayors (EU).

Q: Why did you decide to move to Cranbrook?

A: I loved the outdoors, loved the mountains and it seemed like the environment was very similar to where I grew up in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

We looked around BC and thought the lower mainland was just too busy but Cranbrook seemed right. When I moved here, I actually didn’t have a job waiting.

Q: So you showed up in the community without work—that must have been difficult.

A: Our kids were four

Tamara L’Hoost

mArKEtiNG CoNsULtANt

and two and we did need jobs. I had taught fitness since I was 17 years old—that’s how I put myself through university—so when Golds Gym was opening up I worked there. I told them I could do fitness training and aerobic classes and when there was room, I could do some physiotherapy.

Q: When did you decide to strike out on your own?

A: Within a year, there was a need for more physiotherapy space, so I moved to the Colonel Baker Home and within a year I needed more

space and I moved here.

(Kootenay Therapy Center at Western Financial Place).

I knew this was a great space. I made a business plan that would work. I put together the plan and went to Community Futures and it has grown from there.

Q: As a woman, did you encounter any challenges or conflict in setting up the business?

A: I think the only conflict I would have would have been from within me. I came from a family of hard workers and I was raised to be no different. Anyone who has been my patient from the beginning can tell you I brought my kids to work and my puppy to work. A conflict would have been leaving my kids at home.

Sometimes having kids here was challenging, but most people understood and I just can’t feel like I’m constantly leaving something behind.

Q: What empowers you?

A: There are so many things I really believe in to empower people— not just women—and I think at the end of the day, what empowers me is the phrase, “Choose to live life well.”

I really believe in choice and I never want to personally to feel like a victim and there are times that I do, but I choose not too.

When I feel not quite so well, I just choose to do whatever I can do get by this. We deal with chronic pain here, but we still have choice. We may not like the choices available, but we still have them. Make good choices.

COTR partnering to promote province Submitted

College of the Rockies is joining with six other post-secondary institutions across BC to get the word out that if you’re interested in working in a rewarding career alongside great people in a close-knit community—it’s good out here.

Where exactly is “here?” The group of seven British Columbia colleges - College of the Rockies, College of New Caledonia, North Island College, Northern Lights College, Northwest Community College, Okanagan College and Selkirk College - offer work in communities that include small towns with only a few thousand people, up to large cities with populations of over 80,000. A few communities have fewer than 1000 permanent residents and are set in some of the most breathtaking locations in BC. College of the Rockies Executive Director of Human Resources and Payroll Sheila McDonald notes, “It’s not unusual for people to move to one of the colleges’ communities for a job opportunity and quickly realize they never want to leave.

COTR is partnering with other post-secondary institutions to promote education in the province. outdoor recreation, people truly connect with others and settle in.”

Job opportunities at the Regional Colleges of BC include careers in administration, finance, health services, information technology, maintenance and senior leadership. And then there are the obvious faculty and teaching roles, which are appealing because the small college settings enable employees to make strong connections with their students and really make a difference in their lives.

“Most people know that the outdoor recreation is spectacular everywhere you go in BC,” adds Ken Crewe, Director of Human Resources for North Island College. “But add in affordable housing, vibrant communi-

ties and the chance to do work that has direct application in the community you’re living in and you’ve got a situation that has a lot of appeal for someone ready to leave the big city behind.”

The Regional Colleges of BC expect that once the word gets out, it won’t be difficult to entice qualified candidates to their workplaces.

“We know from our employees who have moved here from elsewhere that we offer great places to live and rewarding workplaces, but not enough people consider one of the Regional Colleges of BC as an employer of choice, especially outside of teaching faculty and staff,” says Gary Leier, Director of Human Resources and

Community Relations for Selkirk College.

“The reality is that compared to the big city, it really is good out here.”

The Regional Colleges of BC is a group of public post-secondary institutions spanning the regions outside of the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada.

The colleges cover 43 communities across British Columbia, from Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii out west, bordering Yukon to the north, the Rocky Mountains to the east and everything in between. The employee recruitment brand and website is the first large project this group has collaborated on.

Hey

Fairmont!

You are invited to join us at an upcoming Open House regarding the establishment of an expanded Flood Control Service for the community of Fairmont Hot Springs.

Thursday, March 13, 2014 Fairmont Hot Springs Resort 2:30pm - 4:30pm (presentation at 3:30pm) - and -

6:00pm - 8:00pm (presentation at 7:00pm) The same information will be presented at both Open Houses, so you only need to attend one.

If the service proceeds, it would generate funding for future flood control and landslide mitigation work along with infrastructure repair, operation and maintenance costs.

The purpose of the meetings is to present information on the current conditions and risks in the Fairmont area along with information on the proposed expanded service area, including taxation, and to seek feedback from the community.

For more information, contact Jim Maletta at 250-489-2791 or 1-888-478-7335.

Taking out the clutter in your finances and reap the rewards Submitted

Take out the clutter and get your finances in a manageable place.

Photo submitted

It is easy to go out to the shopping centre and spend and spend.

It is actually far easier to spend than to think about the consequences.

Think about this for a moment: when you’re bored, what do you like to do? When you’ve had a bad day, where do you like to go? When you feel overwhelmed by your debts, how do you try to make yourself feel better? If you’re like any of the other of us

Canadians who are spending two-thirds of our economy on consumer goods, the answer to these questions is likely “I go shopping”.

We are notoriously addicted to accumulating stuff, and we are spending our hardearned money to do it.

Or, even worse, we are spending money we don’t actually have and buying on credit. That is exactly why making the choice to keep a clutter free home can put money in your bank account.

For sure, declutter-

ing is easier to talk about than to do. It means getting rid of the unnecessary things that already clog up the rooms in your house, but more importantly, it also means committing to not bring more stuff in to replace it.

It means deciding that money in the bank is worth more than a quick feel-good fix from buying another electronic toy or a pair of shoes.

Cutting back on unnecessary consumer spending allows you to save for long term goals, such as tak-

ing a trip, buying a home, or perhaps even upgrading to your next home. Or, alternatively, decluttering might inspire you to downsize to a smaller home, thus decreasing your monthly expenses and increasing your ability to pay off consumer debt or accrue long term savings.

Post-holiday spending blues

Information Package Proposed Five Year Financial Plan (2014 – 2018)

Submitted Are your post-holiday credit card statements keeping you awake at night? Has your generosity emptied your savings account? Don’t panic! With a bit of discipline it is entirely possible for you to quickly rectify your financial situation.

The most important strategy for getting things back in order is to not bury your head in the sand. Face your fears, get out the calculator, and take stock of your debts. Once this process is completed you should have an accurate picture of what your

City Council invites participation regarding the proposed Financial Plan before it is adopted.

Copies of the proposed 2014 – 2018 Five Year Financial Plan are available for pick up at City Hall or for download from the City website – www. cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Annual Reports’ under City of Cranbrook Links.

expenses were over the holidays. Next, put together a recovery plan. What can you do to pay off all your debts?

Start by cutting out any unnecessary expenses. Cups of take-out coffee and restaurant meals, lottery tickets, video rentals, weekend getaways in a hotel, and many other nonessential expenses can be avoided for a few weeks. Beware of impulsive shopping — avoid temptation by leaving your credit cards at home.

The best way to keep your expenses under control is to establish a budget. Calculate your

income and your fixed expenses, and then determine the monthly amount you can afford to put towards reducing your debts. If you think you’ll be unable to pay them all off before the end of this year, then you’d better make an appointment to see a financial advisor.

Feeling stressed out about debts incurred over the holidays can really weigh heavily.

Make the most of the situation by reviewing all your expenses, and try to stay positive. Easing off on spending could very well do your bank account a world of good!

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away.

The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers.

Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines.

The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort.

The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride.

Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class.

What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic.

The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille.

The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum.

The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers.

Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea.

The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

Rough country dream machine loaded with goodies

by Bob McHugh

The redesigned 2011 Grand Cherokee was still unmistakably a Jeep, even though it came with an all-new chassis and body.

This rough country dream machine (from 2011 to 2013) was offered with an

impressively wide range of basic hardware choices that included three 4x4 systems, an optional Quadra-Lift air suspension system and two engines.

Its standard engine is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and other than some early production line glitches, (see recalls) the 2011-3013 Jeep grand Cherokee is a pretty reliable, fuel efficient modern unit. A big improvement on the previous 3.7 V6, the 3.6 V6 features 24-valves and variable valve timing and can produce 290 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. And fuel

economy is rated at: 13.0/8.9 L/100 km (city/highway).

That’s considerably better than the optional 5.7-litre V8 hemi engine, which is rated at 15.7 L/100 km in the city and 10.6 L/100 km on the highway.

The pulling power (390 lbft of torque) of the big V8 engine, however, helps to more than double the potential towing capability of the Grand Cherokee, from 1588 kg to 3266 kg. Both engines are mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Laredo and Laredo X trim levels come with

Quadra-Trac I, a full-time 4x4 system that distributes drive 48/52 front-to-rear, but no low-range is provided.

Quadra-Trac II was optional on Laredo X and standard on Limited and Overland. This system is capable of sending 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle and has a selectable low range, which is important for demanding off-road use.

Then there’s Quadra-Drive II. This was optional on the Laredo X, Limited and Overland and adds an electronic limited-slip differential that can concentrate up to 100 per cent of drive to a single wheel. It also comes with Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist systems.

The optional (Quadra Lift) air suspension can lower or raise (to a maximum of 27 cm) the ride height. It has a Park Mode that drops to its lowest (making it easier for passengers to get in or out) and an Aero Mode that automatically lowers the Grand Cherokee at highway speeds for improved aerodynamics and stability.

In addition to being a more rigid platform, the new chassis gave Grand Cherokee a 13 cm longer wheelbase and a new independent rear

suspension. High-speed handling and highway ride comfort, particularly for rear seat passengers, was noticeably improved.

A new top-line SRT edition of Grand Cherokee, with a 6.4-litre V8 hemi engine, was added for the 2012 model year. A six-speed automatic transmission also replaced five-speed automatic with the 5.7-litre V8 and a Uconnect hands-free phone feature became a standard on all versions.

No significant changes were made for the 2013 model year and the big news for 2014 is the introduction of a diesel engine edition plus a new 8-speed automatic transmission.

The iconic Jeep bran’s popular premium luxury utility vehicle, the Grand Cherokee has been around for over twenty years. A generally good reliability record has helped make it a Consumer Reports “Recommended” buy and safety-wise it has been a top performer in both government and independent crash tests. If you enjoy the outdoors, you’ll love the Jeep Grand Cherokee. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Home Improvement and Renovations Enjoy your home but prepare for emergencies

Photo submitted

Being prepared for an emergency is part of home ownership.

Submitted

Man or woman, rich or poor: no one is safe in a natural disaster.

Flooding, hurricanes, microbursts, earthquakes, or other catastrophes can happen at any time. Are you and your family prepared to deal with one?

You must be prepared in advance to be able to cope during an extreme weather event. Start preparing by finding

out what type of natural disasters are more likely to happen in your area. At home, establish an action plan for each scenario.

Emergency measures in case of flooding: • switch off the electricity and natural gas supply • move valuable objects to a higher floor Microbursts (localized violent winds): • stay well away from windows and doors

• gather the family in the basement, a closet, or under a staircase Earthquake: • remain inside the house • shelter under a table, or desk, and hold on to it until everything stops shaking Everyone in your home should be aware of the steps to take, no matter what the disaster. Decide on a meeting place where you can gather if you’ve been

separated. Post safety measures where they are visible and revise them together on a regular basis.

Keep ready an emergency kit (first-aid supplies, can opener, candles, matches, hygiene articles, and important documents), a supply of drinking water, and enough food to be selfsufficient for at least 72 hours.

Construction Questions Do building codes guarantee a quality built house? Part 1

by Menno Dueck

No. The BC Building Code sets “…minimum standards for safety, health, accessibility, fire and structural protection… (www. housing.gov.bc.ca/building/code).

The definition of quality is set by each individual contractor. Two identical houses built to code and, both meeting criteria for New Home Warranty, can be radically different when it comes to quality.

When shopping for a new home and the Wow factor of granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and laminate flooring have you drooling, stop right there. Take off your blinders and look for clues that the hard earned cash you are about to part with is going into a sound investment; you need to look past the eye candy to the structure itself. Here’s a few hints of what to look for in both new and previously owned homes.

Does the ground around the house look unevenly settled and/ or is there water lying around?

This could be an indicator that the backfill around the house was not compacted sufficiently, which could lead to water leaking into the basement.

Can you check the roof when it has frost or snow on it? If you see uneven melting on the roof, there may be a lack of insulation and/ or ventilation, and possibly a code violation.

Is the house built square? Code does not require a house to be built so that doorways, archways and windows line up parallel or floors are level. Don’t have a laser in your back pocket? Roll a marble on the floor and see where it heads, open doors half way…do they continue to swing on their own? If you step into an area or room and you get a sense that something isn’t straight or level, go with your instincts and check it out further.

What about the stairs? While they may not be squeaky today, it is worth checking out for the future.

If you can see under the stairs, look for 3 stringers and check that the treads have been glued and screwed to them (glue would be squeezed out where the treads are fastened).

Check that the risers (height between each step) are equally spaced to ensure safety.

Part II will reveal additional ways to check up on quality of construction including materials that just meet code versus those that provide quality; shining a light on what could be hidden behind crown molding and trim; and of course the secret (and very professional) wiggle test.

“I’m pleased to see a project that is so important for the people of the East Kootenay moving forward,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

“This project will give physicians and staff an expanded and updated workplace that will support the excellent care they are already providing to patients.”

The new ICU will replace the current fourbed unit at the hospital and feature two additional high-acuity beds, which will help relieve pressure on the intensive care unit. The more detailed integrated design process for the ICU is now complete and includes a 787 squaremetre (approximately 8,470 square-feet) addition on the northeast side of the existing hospital.

In Loving Memory

Kenneth H. Smith Oct. 25, 1946-March 3, 2011 No One Knows

They say there is a reason.

They say that time will heal.

But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles.

No one knows how many times We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt.

You’re so wonderful to think of.

But so hard to be without.

Love you always Pearl; Brent, Dean, Shelley, and their families
