United States. Tragically, some people didn’t ada- pt quickly enough to the bitter cold, which after a freakishly mild week- end hit Edmonton on Monday with its worst January snowstorm ever The snow and cold have. been Teac By CasNews Staff Castlegar and District Teachers Association and the Castlegar school board have voted to accept an agree ment which gives the teachers a 14-per-cent pay increase over two years. Both the teachers and the board voted on the agreement last week. CDTA president Joyce Adams said the CDTA didn't count the percen tage of the vote, but the contract got near unanimous approval. The board's vote was conducted in camera so no results could be re leased The contract ‘calls for four in. creases of five, two, five and two per cent over the two-year period. The contract is retroactive to:last Septem: ber. The teachers also received an in- crease in preparation time. Adams says elementary teachers will get an extra 20 minutes of preparation time for a total of 70 minutes a week. She said preparation time for secondary teachers is now in the contract for the first time. Secondary teachers have one period out of eight for prepara tion time The teachers also had a number of benefits — including sick. leave, medical and dental plans — rolled over from their last agreement blamed for the deaths of at least 11 people, eight in Alberta, At least six Edmonton died of heart attacks caused by overexertion as they pushed cars or shovelled waist- high drifts. “You'd think people wouldn't be caught off-guard,’ said Jan Jordan, 42, of Edmonton, “‘Look at_ this Eskimo parka, look at these gloves, these are real gloves," she said, pointing to her elbow-length, fur- lined leather mittens. ers in “I think the teachers are happy," Adams said, adding that teachers in B.C. are still working under lower salaries and poorer working condi- tions compared to teachers in the rest of the country, But she said it's a major step forward to ‘have these things in the contract “We did it with a minimum of bad feelings, that certainly counts for a lot."" Adams said there weren't a lot of items the teachers ‘didn’t get in the contract, but an agreement on class size was one of them. However, she said teachers did agree to a class size committee. The committee, school district superintendent Terry Way- ling said, will include two teachers and two district officials, and will start’ meeting in» September. The committee will examine classes that are too-large to. provide adequate instruction Adams noted that school districts in Terrace, Vernon and New West- iminster all got firm class size num bers in their collective agreements “Certainly there were things we hoped to get but didn’t, but: that’s what bargaining is all about,”’ she said, ‘‘Basically we're happy to have it over with The teachers began negotiating a contract with the board last May “You know what to expect, so dress for it."’ Doctors warned that working in cold weather can trigger, heart at tacks in people with previous heart problems, with, the people at risk generally being those not used to physical exertion. People out in severe cold. without being heavily dressed also risk frost: bite or hypothermia, a* potentially fatal drop in the body's core temper- ature deal Ed Conroy, chairman of the board's management committee, said teachers also got recognition for local hiring. He said if qualifications. are equal, local people will get priority “It's a good collective agreement for a first agreement,"’ Conroy said He noted that the teachers came in with 203 pages of proposals, which all had to be dealt with “We had to go through it all," he said. Conroy added that it takes time to go through such a lengthy list of proposals. He said if the process had not taken as much time, the prop: osals wouldn't have been treated as fairly and with as much respect as they were. ‘Everybody's reasonably happy."’ Conroy said “adding that neither side got everything it wanted He noted that the board had to consider the standard that was being set for t¢achers agreements through- out the- province. He-said-that-when the process first began, the com mittee anticipated settlements to be much lower than they turned out to be. He said the standard increase for teachers in B.C. has been between 13.5 and 15 per cent “We'll be back at it in another year,"’ Conroy added, when the teachers and the board begin nego- tiating the next contract Cominco reports record year By CasNews Staff The year 1988 proved to be the best business year in the history of Cominco Ltd Cominco reported “earnings of $213.5_million_before_‘‘extraordinary items” in the year ended Dec. 31, 1988. Consolidated earnings after ex. traordinary items amounted to $242 million. Cominco-spokesan-Richard_Fish said extraordinary items include sales of assets and monies gathered in areas other than in regular oper ations “When you sell a mine, or some thing like that, that’s an extra ordinary item,"’ Fish told the Castle- gar News. “‘That’s money gained from other than operating the mines and smelter.”” Fish said the extraordinary gains of $28.5 million were realized mainly from the sale of the corporation's electronic materials division to John son Matthey late last year The 1988 results represented a or turnaround from year-end 1986 when the corporation lost $48.2 million befoe extraordinary items Fish said “*It's quite a turnaround from the dark days of 1986,"" he said The mining and integrated metals business segment had an operating profit of $412.9 million in 1988 com. pared with $188.1 million in 1987. Cominco's fertilizer division realized a profit of $48.4 million this year compared with $15.6 million the pre vious year Fish said the gains in the metals end division were mainly minerals prices “A lot of that is due to the high metal prices we've been experiencing and we don't expect that to last in: definitely."" he said, adding that it witt-be difficult to-predict_what 1989 has in store for. Cominco. ‘*That's a tough one.
