Government wins appeal on class size

tory cycle. Blocking the release of the inflammatory chemicals (substance P and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide - CGRP) stops inflammation and allows for the release of nerve growth factor.

Nerve growth factor is a powerful healing chemical produced by the nerve.

Without the inflammatory trigger of substance P and CGRP, inflammation is reduced and nerve growth factor can start to heal the nerve. Over time, the damaged nerve heals and the chronic pain stops.

Sometimes the nerve pain is not caused by a virus, rather the nerve is squeezed as it passes through the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs called fascia. Neural prolotherapy helps with this type of pain too. The goal of each treatment is for the patient to leave the treatment table with no pain.

After the first treatment, pain relief usually lasts 4 hours to several weeks.

Weekly treatments typically result in longer periods of pain relief and after 4 to 8 treatments the nerve has healed and the pain stops in 80% of patients.

Neural prolo is a safe, simple and effective nondrug treatment for chronic nerve related pain.

union will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in its bid to restore classroom rules the government removed from its contract in 2002.

“All teachers are looking for is workable and teachable classrooms,” Iker said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the changes made to classroom organization in the disputed period have led to “dramatic improvements in student outcomes, particularly for students with special needs.”

The B.C. education ministry has argued that caps on class size and number of students in

each class with personalized learning plans were unduly restrictive.

The NDP government of the late 1990s negotiated a settlement where the BCTF gave up salary increases in exchange for class size caps, specialist teacher levels and limits on the number of designated special needs students in each class.

The appeal court decision leaves in place efforts by the government to settle the bitter dispute, including a provision in the current contract to pay $105 million to the union to retire thousands of grievances filed over class size and composition.

Boutique Expansion!

Last week I wrote about how too much sugar increases your risk for a variety of diseases. Sugar, it turns out, is also a healer and can be used to heal post herpetic neuralgia and other chronic pain.

The treatment is called Neural Prolotherapy and it is a safe and effective way to cure pain that is associated with inflamed nerves. Shingles is one example of nerve related pain that affects many people for months to years after an outbreak.

When the virus that causes chickepox reactivates, it travels down the nerve of its choosing and triggers a painful blistering rash on the skin above the nerve: shingles. The virus irritates the nerve which triggers the release of a variety of chemicals that trigger inflammation. This inflammatory response can then cause long term pain when the nerve is unable to properly heal itself. Neural Prolotherapy works by using a 5% solution of dextrose (also known as glucose) and water injected just under the skin and near the inflamed nerve.

This solution provides immediate analgesia to the nerve, stopping it from producing the chemicals that trigger the inflamma-

class size and special needs support formulas from classrooms.

In a lengthy judgment released Thursday, four of five appeal court judges found that the province did not infringe on the constitutional rights of teachers to bargain working conditions. The appeal court pointed out numerous errors in the 2011 judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, and overturned her order that the government pay $2 million in damages, which has been paid to the union.

BCTF president Jim Iker said the decision is “very disappointing.”

Comedian helps raise bursary funds

Photo submitted

Comedian/musician Todd Butler is performing at the College of the Rockies gymnasium on May 8.

College of the Rockies is pleased to welcome comedian/musician/vocalist Todd Butler for an evening of fun and entertainment, Friday, May 8th at 7 pm in the College gymnasium.

Butler, a veteran contributor to CBC Radio and Television, is an

award-winning comedy songwriter. With more than twenty years of experience in musical theatre, comedy, and street performance Butler is as well known for his wit and satire as he is for his amazing guitar playing skills.

Admission to the per-

formance is free but donations are being accepted for the College of the Rockies’ Student Emergency Bursary.

The bursary provides short-term loans to College students to help cover the cost of food, medication, rent or other expenses that students may experience while in school.

College of the Rockies’ Manager, Continuing Education and Contract Training Tracey Whiting is excited about Butler’s performance.

“The College is thrilled to be bringing a talent of Todd’s stature back to Cranbrook for this fun and free event,” she says. “We’ve had Todd perform for events in the past and he is always a huge hit. To be able to support such an important resource as the Student Emergency Bursary at the same time makes this an even more

worthwhile venture for us.”

“Students sometimes find themselves in circumstances they are unable to prepare for.

They may break a pair of glasses, require dental work or have a family emergency that arises,” adds College of the Rockies’ Financial Assistance and Awards Advisor Lois Murray. “The Student Emergency Bursary can be the difference between a student continuing on in his or her studies or having to drop out of school.”

Tickets for the event are available by donation, with a limit of four per person, at the College of the Rockies’ Registration office at the Cranbrook campus or at the door.

For more information on this event, go to: cotr. ca/whatsnew.

Recently, volunteers got together at the Brick Building (behind City Hall) to clean bricks that will be used to re-build the back wall of the building. After what seemed like a long winter, work finally began on the building recently. Local master Mason and Bricklayer Karl Schmideder Jr dismantled the back wall, and is using the cleaned bricks, and original morter, to rebuild the wall.

Anyone who wants to come down during the week, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to assist Mr Schmideder is more than welcome!

John Orza 1927 - 2015 John Orza passed away at the F.W. Green Memorial Home on Sunday, April 5, 2015 at 87 years of age.

John was born in Viscount, SK on May 26, 1927. He was raised on the family farm, played hockey for the Viscount Hockey Team, and was a very good player. During the summer months he worked on the family farm and other area farms, during the winter months he spent time logging in Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. He married Jean Shaw on June 29th, 1948 in Watrous, SK, and they moved to Cranbrook in 1949. Shortly after, in the 1950’s John was employed with Crestbrook Forest Industries, driving logging trucks and building roads, until his retirement in 1989. John was a great gardener who took a lot of pride in his yard. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing and camping, and he also enjoyed playing cards with friends.

John was predeceased by his wife Jean of 57 years in 2005, his sisters Ella, Vera, Elsie, and Eileen, and by his brother Don. He is survived by his children George (Anne) of Oklahoma City, Rick (Lin) of Cranbrook, Shelby (Steve) Harvey of Revelstoke, and 1 brother Leon Orza (Lil) of Kakabeka Falls, ON, 9 grandchildren and 15 greatgrandchildren.

There will be a graveside service for John at a later date.

The family would like to thank the staff of F.W. Green Memorial Home and Dr. Witten and Dr. Wigmore for their care of John over the years. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Gummer Unit, F.W. Green Memorial Home, 1700 – 4th Street South, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 6E1.

Don’t forget Mom! Mother’s Day is May 10

A mother’s role has really changed!

It was just before the First World War that Mother’s Day was first established in Canada and the United States. Even though we have only been celebrating our mothers for a little less than a hundred years, their role and status have changed a lot because of family separations, reconstituted families, adoptive families, etc. There are as many different family models as there are new challenges for the modern mother.

The feminist struggle has opened new doors, as much in the job market as in the home. But there still remain enormous difficulties in families where the mother is not necessarily the one who gave birth to us. Think about those reconstituted families, for example, where sometimes two mothers share the same role. According to the most recent statistics of the Public Health Agency of Canada, 12% of families with children are reconstituted. As well as playing her traditional role, a mother must, more than

Sunday May 10, 2015 1pm Limited Seating

Fine loose-leaf teas, tasty delights, Victorian fashion show, etiquette lessons and more

ever, be inventive and able to organize complicated daily logistics within families where her status can sometimes be ambiguous.

On Mother’s Day pay homage to mothers for finding answers to all the new challenges they are faced with.

New breakthroughs in fertility treatments and the possibilities of adoption are also changing the hand that motherhood is dealt.

It takes the modern mother a lot of courage and patience to take the difficult and often frustrating steps that accompany the decision to go to a fertility clinic or to start the monumental task of putting together an adoption file.

On Mother’s Day pay homage to their determination.

Today’s mothers are faced with new challenges.

Cranbrook—expanding regional hub of the East Kootenay

Cranbrook by the Numbers

PHOTO SUBMITTED

(From top, clockwise) Crowds line the streets for the Sam Steele Days Parade. The Wild Horse Theatre at Fort Steele Heritage Town. A look at the home rink of the Kootenay Ice at Western Financial Place. A Pacific Coastal plane gets ready for takeoff at the Cranbrook/Canadian Rockies International Airport.

Cranbrook has a lot going for it. From the obvious assets of brilliant sunshine, green forests, sparkling lakes and rivers to the more intangible qualities this community offers, there is plenty here to crow about.

Below is a snapshot of the community and some of its amenities, services and infrastructure.

Transportation Cranbrook provides ground transport links to markets across North America, including: • CP Rail Four common carriers with local terminals serving Cranbrook, and one bonded warehouse • Across the region there are more than 45 trucking establishments providing service for hauling and general freight, moving and storage, logging and mining transport, and other trucking services. Many provide overnight or daily service to major centres

• Cranbrook is within 40 minutes of Kingsgate, a major US point of entry for road and rail freight.

Retail The retail sector is Cranbrook‘s largest employer, reflecting the role the City plays in providing retail services to the region. Cranbrook is home to the region’s existing ‘Big Box’ retailers, with many other chains having already decided to locate in Cranbrook or considering the prospect.

Healthcare and Education As the regional service centre, Cranbrook provides the East Kootenays with a first class regional hospital and associated healthcare facilities.

The main campus of the BC College of the Rockies is located in Cranbrook, with six other campuses throughout the region providing a broad range of academic and vocational programs. The

College has been instrumental in developing training programs to address key labour and skills priorities in the region.

Tourism The East Kootenays has a large and increasing tourism sector and almost all visitors (62% of which are non- residents) to the region stay in, or pass through, Cranbrook.

The City serves as a hub for resorts and outdoor tourism facilities such as ski hills, hot springs and golf courses.

There are approximately 34 accommodation properties with more than 1,000 bed units as well as meeting facilities. In addition there are 800 camp and RV sites in neighbouring parks and private facilities.

Cranbrook is also a key player in sports tourism in the region, hosting the multi-use Western Financial Place and numerous indoor and outdoor recreation facilities.

Airport The Cranbrook/Canadian Rockies International Airport is emerging as a transportation growth engine for the region’s burgeoning tourism industry. It is the 10th busiest airport in the province with roughly 117,125 passengers in 2013, an 11% increase since 2010.

The airport provides regular scheduled daily flights to and from Vancouver and Calgary, with new service expansion now in development.

Hard work, inventiveness and listening to your clients

Mike Hambalek, right, receiving the Business Person of the Year Award at the Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

At the recent Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards, Mike Hambalek, of Caliper Machine & Hydraulics Ltd. won the Business Person of the Year award.

He did that through a combination of knowing his customers, hard work and a level of inventiveness rarely seen anywhere.

Caliper Machine & Hydraulics Ltd. is a machine, welding, fabricating and engineering services shop that has been in business for 41 years. Hambalek has been with the company for 19 years, taking over ownership 17 years ago.

“Back in 2008 and 2009, our shop work was getting slow so I approached Teck and spoke with their employees about problems

they might have been having with their equipment,” said Hambalek.

He said that the first problem they identified was at the back of their graders.

At the back, there are teeth that can get pushed up on a hard contact with a rock. As these are connected to a bar to the back of the radiator, the end result is that the radiator could get pushed into the fan, causing between $50,000 to $100,000 worth of damage.

“What we did was come up with a different idea where we made a shock absorbing cylinder, called a link absorber. That fixed the problem.”

A short while later, again speaking with people at Teck to come up with solutions, he was informed that there were numerous prob-

“They gave me this broken dash made out of plastic and asked me if it could be made of steel,” said Hambalek. “Besides it breaking, they told me that it took three hours to make any repairs to gauges or anything else on it.”

Hambalek went home, created a prototype out of craft paper, took it into a 3d program and cut one out of steel. He made it so it would go on and off easily, turning a three-hour repair job into three minutes.

“Now we’ve done every Komatsu truck there and the smaller 830e as well.”

A view of the roller saddle block (the blue device with the green leaf emblazoned on it) being tested in the field on a massive shovel. This invention is under development by Hambalek and his company. other operators in places like Fort McMurray are using the giant 797 Cat Haul Trucks, he is working on prototypes to replace their

dashes as well.

“The market for this is huge.”

Lately, a project Hambalek is working on is get-

ting more and more attention. Starting with speaking with an electrician at Teck, Hambalek found out that they are constantly running

large lights on generators that operate on diesel fuel.

In the winter, these lights run 24 hours a day because they won’t start when they

are cold.

“I asked a senior foreman who estimated they spend over $1 million a year at the five mines just for the diesel fuel.”

He spoke with a friend, Bob Frampton, who had designed a solar and wind powered light tower that used no generator at all.

Although it was small, it had already run for two years without spending any money on it. The two set to work on making it more heavy duty.

They replaced the halogen lights with LEDs, put on solar panels that will adjust to capture the best light and a wind turbine on the top of the light tower. The two formed Soleco Technologies to perfect the invention.

“In winter testing, it ran almost continuously for almost five full nights in a day with 15 to 16 hours of darkness. We put in a generator and if the batteries get low, or the temperature drops it kicks in for a few hours to recharge the batteries. It then is ready for another four to six days of light.”

Teck and other companies from Alberta and as far away as Chile have approached him about lights.

Local company JSL Forum

Ltd., is also speaking with Hambalek about putting security cameras on the light stands. Because of this interest, Hambalek’s partner Frampton is in China overseeing the manufacture of the latest, more heavy-duty version of the lights.

But one of the biggest projects Hambalek has ever done is still ongoing. For the past nine years he has been working on a roller saddle block to help with the operation of the big shovels used in the mining industry. Parts of the equipment were breaking on a regular basis and as the costs to fix are astronomical, Hambalek worked with engineers, Teck employees and his own acumen to create a device to alleviate the problem. Some testing has been done and Hambalek hopes to get the new roller saddle block into place as soon as he is able.

“I’ve been able to do all this because I speak with the people on the ground.

Sure it’s taken time and money, but I always say if you don’t try you’ll never know. Because of all of this, we’ve been breaking our business records for four years running and it’s because if someone needs something that is better and cheaper, we’ll do it.”

The College of the Rockies for local and international students

Photo submitted

The College of the Rockies Kootenay Centre entrance.

Post-secondary education is always a good benchmark of the forward momentum of a community. In Cranbrook, the College of the Rockies has always moved to stay ahead of the skills curve to not only maintain its relevance but to help make the city a place people want to live in.

“We at the College see ourselves as a key partner in the economic and social development not just in Cranbrook but for the entire college community,” said Patricia Bowron, Executive

Director of International and Regional Development with COTR. Having recently completed ‘Our Roadmap to New Heights’, the colleges strategic plan from 2015 to 2020, Bowron explained that just how the organization fits with the local community and with its students are questions constantly being asked by the college.

“Our mission statement is to transform lives and enrich communities through the power of education,” explained Bowron. “That

includes any community we are involved in, even the international community.”

Bowron noted that in regards to international students, the feedback from the community is that these students have become more involved in the fabric of the community and its workforce.

Then there is the local students and the programs offered. Besides a host of trade, scientific and general course, the college also offers a Bachelor of Business Administration in Sustain-

able Business Practices, an Associate of Arts Degree, an Associate of Science Degree, a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Science Nursing.

On top of that is the College’s desire to support the skills necessary for people to get jobs now.

“We have specialized programming. There are the older worker programs and programs in what industry is looking for like health, business, tourism and skilled trades,” said Bowron. “One example is our haul-truck

program which has had around 175 graduates. We do skills accessment as an institution to help take care of the skills gap. We find that we have the nimbleness as a smaller institution that allows us to do that. We look at skills shortages and create programs to address that.”

Heather Jackson, Manager, Communications & Marketing for the college pointed out how these degrees and other programs helps the local economy.

“The college contributes $200 million to the region’s

economy, not just rhrough spending, but from contributions from students who spend in the area,” said Jackson. “We know that students who come here want to stay and start a business or be part of the economic community. Many alumni may have gone on to university and come back. A lot of students came here from larger centres and when we ask them why, their answer is because we get to know them and they feel a sense of community.”

Talking about business in Cranbrook with David D. Hull David D. Hull recently took over the reins of the executive director position for the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. His experience ranges from city councilor to years in management consulting, real estate sales, management and operations for a large wholesale distribution company and six years as the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce. Recently he took the time to have a conversation about what he sees for the economic outlook of Cranbrook.

Q: You’ve been involved with business in a number of areas around the province.

What is a good comparison for Cranbrook?

A: A good comparison would be Terrace. It has a similar population and is the local centre for government.

From mines to forestry, it is very similar to Cranbrook in that those industries and local economies are changing.

Q: How do you see business and the economy changing exactly?

A: The economy here is certainly in a state of evolution. There is opportunity and that comes with a whole bunch of tentacles. The challenge is to work with what the new world looks like.

Right now there is unprecedented mobility of people and money. When you and I were young, if you asked if someone worked elsewhere the vast majority would have said no. Now the world is really small and companies are investing all over the planet. Somewhere

along the line, from senior government down, we need to collectively realize where we are at and where we are going. The economy has changed in the last 20 years.

Q: What strategies have you seen some municipalities take to increase their economy?

A: Well, for a while it was chasing smokestacks. Then it was chasing call centres.

But call centres isn’t really helping the economy with jobs that are slightly above minimum wage. That kind

of activity has happened in the past and it is a race to the bottom. Someone elsewhere can always give cheaper labour. Half the call centres in Canada have shut down and moved elsewhere now.

It’s the same in manufacturing. I’ve travelled to China and a lot of the basic manufacturing is leaving there for Vietnam and Cambodia because China was too expensive. What you see in Canada is an effort to reestablish ourselves as manufacturers, which can help us

compete.

Q: What about Cranbrook, in particular?

A: The first thing that should be done is to stabilize what we have—make sure the people we have don’t leave. We need programs to keep people here. A retention strategy should be first and foremost. Identify what are the factors that make people succeed and why they should stay. The next step is to grow it. If we can grow the existing economy by 10 per cent, that would

Q: How does the Chamber help in that?

A: Our job is to lobby different levels of government.

It has to make the conditions right. We can’t make sure a business succeeds but we can help. A good example is the Kootenay Ice. They have good players and good facilities, but at the end of the day, they have to execute. Our job is to make sure conditions are right for trade and commerce. Local government has to be amenable to business. I was a city councillor and sometimes people would go to my city hall with a proposal, but there may as well have been a sign saying, ‘We start with no, then work our way up.’

Chilliwack was different.

Economic development, planning and permitting were in a separate building.

When people went in saying they wanted to invest, they were given coffee, someone

would bring in a building guide, planners came in to talk. In effect, the city was open for business.

Q: How can Cranbrook help to encourage business?

A: We have a great historic downtown section here, but it seems like other towns have a higher mixed use density. I’ve been told that we can’t have that because of height restrictions based on the height of the ladder on a fire truck. But I’ve been in cities that have 62-story buildings—no ladder reaches that high. Now if the height restrictions based on the height of the fire truck ladder is just a story, the city has to let people know.

If we can have shops on the ground, professional offices and living units above that, we can get a better use of our downtown core.

Cranbrook has a great advantage in quality of life.

An example of attracting business was in Abbotsford and Cascade Aerospace. All

they really needed was a big hanger and people and for that they could have gone anywhere. They could have settled in Northern Saskatchewan where the land is cheap, but the engineers didn’t want to move there. If a city can’t offer these professionals soccer fields and hockey for the kids, places close by to hike and swim and good education, Northern Saskatchewan doesn’t look so bad.

Cranbrook could become a cluster for very portable businesses. There are a lot of great natural attractions.

All the elements are here.

Geographically, it is central to the East Kootenay, with good access to Alberta and a great lifestyle. The kids can walk to school and it is safe.

The rivers are not polluted.

Not everyone wants to live in a big city and Cranbrook has the potential to increase the business done by existing operations and for some growth in the future.

(Clockwise from top) Rob Porter teaching an outdoor kayak course. Being adventurous is a necessity for Porter from time to time. Porter winning the first of three awards at the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

Rob Porter, owner of Just Liquid Sports, is the poster child for taking what you love to do and making it a growing business concern.

The recent recipient of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce’s Hospitatlity and Tourism, Retailer Excellence and Business of the Year with 1-15 employees awards, took time to answer questions on what has allowed him to start and grow his business over the years.

Q: You were originally from Hamilton, Ontario, and I understand that you were involved in motocross for a number of years.

A: Yes, I spent many years racing but that ended in a bad crash causing a 100 per cent fused ankle and the other with lots of hardware.

I was not able to race any longer due to the weak fused ankle so I took up recreational kayaking (easier on the ankles). I started going

on many kayak expeditions throughout Ontario and then because I have a need for an adrenalin fix, I tried whitewater kayaking on the Ottawa River.

I was hooked and on my way home from the course I bought a whitewater kayak.

Five years later (now 10 years ago) I moved to BC and grew my passion for extreme whitewater, running steep creeks and rivers, competing and paddling all over BC and Alberta. Along the way I picked up sponsorships, claimed the first Descents of Moyie Falls, Bull River Falls, Big Sand Creek Falls and made headlines both in local papers and throughout the magazine world. This marketed this region globaly as a premier paddling paradise for extreme whitewater enthusiasts and this area is now frequently visited by paddlers form all over the world.

After travelling all over to different events, competitions and visiting shops for a year living the dream I realized the potential of the Kootenays and created the business plan for Just Liquid Sports.

Q: So you had helped create awareness for kayaking and the area and had created a business plan. How did you make it all work?

A: After splitting up with my ex the previous year to opening the shop, I did not have much left in the bank.

All I had was a dream, a passion for watersports and a business plan.

I tried to find a financial partner however nobody believed this area needed a shop Like Just liquid Sports.

So I then contacted people in the industry and secured terms for some of the product and found a building to put it all in. Yes, my budget at the start was only $7,000 but

I had some help with terms in the industry. Throughout the first two years I was supported by close friends who helped me get through the toughest startup times. I am very lucky to have had so many great friends and family whom have been there through think and this.

There have been many sacrifices, struggles, many hard lessons learned, and many stressful moments in the last five years. However it’s all worth it when I know we are contributing to a healthier active and friendlier community above or below H20 In the East Kootenays. I love this place and I am so proud of all our staff and fellow watersports enthusiasts whom contribute to making such a difference in our region.

Q: Your operation is more than just bricks and mortar.

You seem to spend as much time with the watersports

community as you do in your shop.

A: Yes in the winters we continue with pool training for both Kayak (specially with youths and schools) and PADI Dive courses.

We offer Paddle Canada Certified Training for Kayak, Canoe, Stand Up Paddleboarding, IKO Kiteboard instruction and we are also a PADI Scuba Dive center. We also offer EFR First Aid and CPR Certification Training as well.

We also offer Rentals and repairs for almost all watersports and equipment. We also host a Just liquid Film Festival, Stand up Paddle board festival/race, Whitewater kayak Competition, regular guided Kayak, Canoe, SUP and Dive tours and more.

Q: You talk a lot about community. How important is community to you and to your business?

A: I believe that the best business is a business that gives back to its community just as much as the community gives to them if not more. My goal in opening Just Liquid was not to become a millionaire. I knew that would never happen the day I wrote the original business plan. I started Just Liquid because we live in a watersports paradise and at the time very few people were using the lakes and rivers to their potential. We set out our mission to create a healthy active and friendly community above or below

H2O and that continues to be our primary focus. I am not in it for the money, I am in it to change lives and contribute to building a healthy, happy active and friendly community within the East Kootenay region.

I love this region and I am very honored, very happy and proud to live here. We live in a watersports enthusiast paradise and I am definitely an enthusiast of all watersports.

The community is my life.

We do what we do here at Just Liquid for the overall betterment of the community and use of the waterways in the is region. We work very hard to grow both the business and our community in a very positive direction but with out the community support and their positive change we could not and would not do what we do.

Personally Community is very important to me just as close friends and family are. I have always been the friend who brings another outsider friend to a party or gathering thus growing that group of friends. I think the more friends the better and well why not just be one happy healthy community together.

I like people and I love the great outdoors. Having a community of friends to enjoy this majestic place we call home is worth every effort I put fourth to grow such a community.

How your local newspapers benefit the entire community

What is often overlooked in the wealth and wellbeing of an area is the role of the local newspaper.

The Kimberley Daily Bulletin was founded in 1932, the Cranbrook Daily Townsman has been operating since 1946, and the Kootenay News Advertiser has been in business for more than 40 years. Each of these newspapers have been bringing people the news of the region, human interest stories, classified and general advertising and

a host of other services to the communites since their inception. And while some like to point out that a lot of world news is available on the web, it is the local newspaper that keeps people informed about what is going on right here.

“I think community papers are here to stay for a long time,” said Rick O’Connor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Press Group Ltd. “It’s still the preeminent way to convey the news for what is happening in the area. I don’t see how

communities can be healthy without community papers being a conduit for both news and advertising.”

Newspapers have stayed relevant for more than just being disseminators of information and advertising.

From its inception, the Kootenay News Advertiser, and other local newspapers have been strong supporters of the community.

“Our mantra is to get involved in the community and support community activities at the same time. Every year our goal is to help

the community in as many ways as possible,” said O’Connor.

A direct case in point is Black Press 4 Good, on the web at www.blackpress4good.com. This is a crowd funding site that provides a free platform for people with good ideas, individuals who need a helping hand and others looking to help their communities. To date more than $52 million has been raised by individuals and groups using the site.

Locally, The Kootenay News Advertiser, the Cran-

brook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Bulletin support the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy through the Black Press Reach a Reader initiative and Family Literacy Day. The United Way. The Spring Honda Fun Run for ALS, the Canadian Cancer Society (through the Abreast in the Rockies Dragon Boat Team and the Relay for Life), the SPCA, the Children’s Festival, Sam Steele Days and the M.S. Walk are other worthy initiatives supported by local Black Press papers.

Black Press is also a major sponsor of the Symphony of the Kootenays and the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation.

For Karen Johnstone, Cranbrook Daily Townsman publisher, this kind of support is what keeps a community going.

“Our local businesses trust an advertising investment to their community newspaper and we in turn look to support initiatives and fund raise for the initiatives that stay in the community and make the lives of our readers richer,” explained Johnstone.

The printing for a number of publications is done right here in Cranbrook and is probably more than most people think. The Cranbrook

Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Daily Bulletin are printed five days a week, the Kootenay Advertiser twice a week, the Creston Valley Advance, the Fernie Free Press, the Invermere Valley Echo and the Golden Star, the Columbia Valley Pioneer, the Elk Valley Herald and the Crowsnest Pass Herald are printed weekly.

The press also publishes the Ktunaxa newsletter, the Salmo Valley News and a host of special sections, magazines and commercial jobs for local clients.

All this printing results in direct employment for more than 230 people locally. This breaks down to 93 carriers, 4 drivers and 26 employees for the Kootenay Advertiser and its mailroom and 23 staff at the Townsman/ Bulletin and Press Centre, which also employs 11 drivers and over 75 carriers.

“Black Press has invested in our local communities and in return have been welcomed by residents and the business sector,” said Zena Williams, publisher of the Kootenay News Advertiser.

“Moving forward, we intend to keep supporting the people that make the East Kootenay region one of the best places to live and do business in the province.”

Denham’s Cranbrook Hyundai

With a planned relocation to the old Denham Ford dealership, a full renovation of that facility is in the works. “As one of the fastest growing brands in Canada, the decision to invest in Hyundai was an easy one”, says Braydon Denham, Dealer Principal. “We intend to bring the Denham Difference to our Hyundai franchise. What that means is exceptional customer service, a great product at great value, and a fun car buying/servicing experience.”

Stay tuned for our big move. In the meantime, please stop in and see us at our existing location!!

Denham Ford BC

With our first full year in the new dealership now behind us, Denham Ford BC is ramping up for another banner year. Earlier this year, we were extremely proud to be notified by Ford Motor Company that not only had we won President’s Award for the 4th consecutive year, but are also the recipients of Ford’s prestigious Diamond Award. The Diamond Award is given to a select few of Canada’s 400+ Ford Dealers, each year. “Earning this award is a testament of the hard work that our entire team does on a daily basis to deliver the Denham Difference. It also speaks to the loyalty of our customers, who appreciate the level of service that we provide; and by extension, continue to grow the Denham brand in our community.

Whether purchasing a vehicle, or servicing it, we aim to provide an experience, not just a transaction.”, says Braydon Denham, General Manager.

Sporting one of the freshest lineups in the industry this year, Denham Ford is thrilled to be a part of some of the best vehicle unveilings Ford has ever seen. They have already launched the completely redesigned 2015 F150, the new 2015 Ford Focus; and the first, all-new 2015 Ford Edges have just begun to roll in.

Also, this year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic vehicles ever, with the 2015 Ford Mustang. Later this summer, we expect the refreshed look of the 2016 Ford Explorer.

E NHA M

On Jan 2, 2015, Braydon Denham made a further investment in Cranbrook, when he purchased the local Hyundai dealership. Rebranded as Denham’s Cranbrook Hyundai, Braydon plans to bring the same vision, and level of service that has made Denham Ford BC a local success story.

Carrying one of the largest selections of new and used vehicles, we invite you to give us a call, or stop by to have a look around to experience the Denham Difference for yourself. We look forward to seeing you, soon!
